Vitamin A comes in different forms. The term vitamins refer to a number of compounds with different chemical makeup that exhibit the same vitamin activities in the body. For example, vitamin A is how we call the dietary forms known as beta carotene, retinol, and emulsified vitamin A, each having varying chemical structures before digestion but acting as one vitamin inside the body.
Forms of Vitamin A
How is one vitamin form different from another? Remember that one vitamin description categorizes the activity, not the structure. Outside the body they do not act as vitamins just yet, they are nonidentical compounds with diverse names that may be found in a chicken's liver or carrot tuber. We associate these compounds to identify and emphasize the food sources one vitamin comes from.
Preformed vitamin A absorbed in the body as retinol is the form of Vitamin A in animals usually present at high levels in livers whereas pro-vitamin A also called carotenoids comprise a group of organic compounds abundant in plants with beta carotene being the most commonly known. Both of these groups are broken down after ingestion and converted into forms of vitamin A specialized for use by the human body.
Beta Carotene and Carotenoids
Beta carotene is the most widespread form of carotenoids since they are present in many fruits and vegetables and responsible for their bright orange pigmentation, take for example carrots. Intake of beta carotene does not equate with intake of Vitamin A. After we chew a carrot it enters the stomach and small intestine to undergo a series of changes in the chemical composition.
Does it turn into Vitamin A? Not just yet. One of the reasons why beta carotene gets frequent mention among all carotenoids in scientific communities and the subsequently in the press is the fact that it is absorbed by the body the easiest. Once beta carotene reaches digestion it becomes a form much like an emulsified vitamin A and we absorb more than 20 per cent of this form but less than 25 per cent. Other carotenoids are absorbed at a maximum of 5 per cent of the total absorption rate of beta carotene.
Emulsified Vitamin A
How is Vitamin A digested exactly? Vitamin A is part of a group of naturally occurring molecules altogether known as lipids. The pancreatic bile is released in the upper section of the small intestine to help emulsify lipids, including beta carotene and other forms of Vitamin A. Why are lipids emulsified? Lipids and vitamin A are fat-soluble compounds, thus they can't enter the water-based bloodstream.
On the other hand, emulsified vitamin A is, as the name says it, already emulsified. In comparison with other precursors of the vitamin, emulsified vitamin A skips all the process beta carotene has to go through during digestion, taking a shorter time to get absorbed by the intestinal walls into the liver where it is distributed in forms ready for use to the parts of the body that need it.

Ulcer and abdominal pain may sound synonymous, but everyone knows that the former is a serious condition. Unless you seek medical help you will never be able to confirm if the pain you are experiencing is just an indication of hunger or indigestion. DGL licorice has been reported to alleviate the pain and heal ulcerations, including canker sores in the mouth.
Historical Uses
Licorice has long been known to cure ulcers and other ailments of the digestive system. Over the centuries its positive effects on people with abdominal pains have been documented in the East, and it remains a well recognized herb in most Asian nations. It is of special note in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and China, where it is one of the few herbs considered as a cure-all for known diseases.
Traditional preparations involve the use of the root of the plant, which is indigenous to southern Europe and Asia. It was noted that Alexander the Great, having learned from traditional medicine commonly practiced by his Persian subjects, made use of licorice root to nourish his troops during lengthy marches. The root was believed to be responsible for alleviating shortness of breath and sallow appearance due to fatigue.
Peptic Ulcers
Lesions on surfaces of the human body that are characterized by the visible loss of tissue as in an open sore are identified as ulcers. Today there is a lower prevalence of peptic ulcers caused by bacteria than decades ago since we have become more conscious of our source of food. In spite of that, incidence of ulcers related to the gastrointestinal tract has never dwindled.
Scarring of the surfaces of the alimentary canal has something to do with how your body copes with your day-to-day activities, and stress is now known as one of the causes of the appearance of ulcers in the human body. In fact, there is strong evidence that chronic stress increases the risk of developing ulcers as shown by a number of studies.
Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice
In studies that involve the use of DGL licorice, the incidence of ulcer breakouts among patients was significantly reduced in two years. DGL, or Deglycyrrhizinated, licorice was developed from licorice for the sole purpose of improving digestive conditions, gastric and duodenal ulcers in particular. DGL licorice is produced by separating the licorice extract from the compound called glycyrrhizin tied to certain side effects. Clinical trials yielded promising results that include the healing of stress ulcers and aphthous ulcers, or canker sores.
DGL licorice has shown a variety of mechanisms that lead to the removal of ulcers. It inhibits the propagation of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, the primary cause of duodenal ulcers. The formation of gastric ulcers results from the decrease of mucus and the increase of acidity in the stomach, both of which are effectively reversed by sufficient intake of DGL licorice. Also, stress-related hormones that are associated with the breakout of ulcers in the body are stopped from being released with DGL licorice.
If you suffer from ulcers or stomach acid related problems, give DGL licorice a try.

Article Title: How Does Strontium Mineral Help With Healthy Bone Density?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Bones in the human body are composed of the inorganic compound referred to as bone mineral, and bone density pertains to the mineral mass per unit volume, lower mass being unfavorable. Thus, bone density is an indicator of osteoporosis, which is, in other words, bone loss associated with old age. Osteoporosis, however, affects one's quality of life, posing an increased fracture risk. Fortunately, it can be remedied with medications, notably the use of strontium to influence bone growth.
Lifestyle has an effect on bone density in that bone loss results from the lack of needed stimulus for bone maintenance. Prolonged inactivity leads to a significant decrease in bone mineral mass even in the early thirties whereas excessive exertion instigates erosion of the cartilage and surrounding bone mass sooner or later. Chronic alcohol intake and chain smoking have long been tied to bone loss. Malnutrition and Vitamin D deficiency contributes to the slow repair of damages to bone tissues.
Historical Use of Strontium
Isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy, strontium was originally called strontites when it was discovered decades earlier in the town of Strontian, Scotland by a group of academicians. In the latter part of the 20th century, it was linked to dairy products from cows that ought to have consumed high amounts of strontium present in grass. Later studies showed that individuals who had added these dairy products to their diet had strontium incorporated into their bone structure, including the teeth but showed no confirmable adverse effects.
Osteon and Bone Remodeling
To understand how effective strontium is, having a look at of how our body creates and manages bone tissues is important. There is a process called bone remodeling that takes place in our body while we live, and up to 10 per cent of the total bone mass is subjected to this process at any given time. This is the reason why the amounts of bone tissues vary from one time to another, peaking in the late twenties in general.
Osteon is the core component of the compact bone, the part that undergoes continued remodeling throughout our lifetime. Osteon comprises a region that is broken down into calcium minerals and released to the blood. This region is replaced by new bone tissues by absorbing minerals from the blood, calcium salts in particular. The former process is called bone resorption, the latter bone formation; these are the two processes that constitute bone remodeling.
Bone Density and Strontium
Bone loss arises when there is an imbalance between the two largely owing to an unmitigated bone resorption resulting from years of inactivity. Strontium is of special note in treatment of osteoporosis inasmuch as it can be used to stimulate bone formation and, at the same time, inhibit bone resorption, leading to a stabilized bone remodeling and increased bone density. With a series of medical studies that span over fifty decades, strontium has shown no known clinical signs of harmful effects. No wonder medical groups and health professionals advocate its use.
If you are looking for stronger bones, look to strontium as your much needed bone support formula.

Article Title: Why is Soy Protein So Good For Women?

Soy protein is the secret weapon of women against cellulites. It is a part of the daily regimen of women who just want to stay healthy, not to mention look good. In fact, everyone associates it with losing weight, and for a reason. Numerous studies have tied soy proteins to reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases among others. Let's find out why.
Dietary Fiber
Soy protein is rich in dietary fiber, soluble fiber in particular. We've all heard that fiber is healthy, but how does fiber work in the human body? When our diet has high amounts of fiber we readily feel full because it adds bulk to the foods we eat once it reaches the stomach. In the intestine, it slows the breaking down of starch into glucose and its subsequent absorption, washing away a fraction of carbohydrates in our diet, which leads to lower blood sugar levels.
Polyunsaturated Fat
Dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids has been linked to an unending list of benefits. These are a group of lipids connected to the very functions of the body at the cellular level, from providing cells protection against the outside environment to assisting them in their roles such as signaling during the healing process at a local region. In addition, they promote the overall health of the circulatory system by reducing cholesterol levels, including low density lipoproteins, dubbed bad cholesterol. Soy protein is high in polyunsaturated fat.
Complete Protein
Soy protein is complete protein, that is, it contains all nine essential amino acids. Why are they called essential? There are many amino acids produced inside the body, but nine of them are not. Thus, their presence in our daily diet is necessitated to compensate for the body's inability to produce them. Essential amino acids are factors that control the development of proteins in the body, and deficiency results in dizziness, nervousness, and exhaustion, all symptoms of more serious conditions of a depressed immune system.
Polphenolic Antioxidants
The body deploys free radicals to destroy organisms that interfere with the normal functions of cells. Free radicals in high amounts are toxic to the body, so the body releases a ready group of agents that inactivates needless counts of free radicals. However, if these agents fail to deal with free radicals in time, a process called oxidative stress takes place, destroying cells and DNA. Soy protein contains polyphenolic substances known for their antioxidant activities, helping the body counter the harmful effects of free radicals.
Phytoestrogenic Compounds
Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds in plants that are believed to have health benefits in the human body. Soy protein is good source of phytochemicals, isoflavones in particular. Consumption of isoflavones has diverse effects in human health, but of special note is its purported role in the decrease of recurrence rate of cancers in women. In addition, there is strong evidence that it helps in preventing signs and symptoms related to menopause, including bone loss and hot flashes.
It is confirmed, soy protein is good for women or all ages. If you haven't started on a soy protein supplement what is stopping you?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The buzz around red yeast rice has spurred researchers and health junkies alike to check out its claim to lower cholesterol levels. Recent studies point to naturally occurring substances in red yeast responsible for inhibiting the production of cholesterol in our body. Not only does it work as a dietary alternative to cholesterol-lowering drugs, but it also promises a list of well-documented, centuries-old medicinal benefits.
We have taken an interest in this particular variety of rice just lately, but it has been an important part of the staple diet in many Asian countries for over a thousand years. The earliest accounts on red rice date back to 800 AD during the Tang Dynasty in China. It was noted for the effective role it plays in relieving indigestion pains and other gastric ailments and improving overall health by promoting blood circulation and lowering cholesterol. In addition, it is an essential ingredient in the production of a wide list of culinary goods, from the subtle taste it adds to several Asian wines to the characteristic bright red glaze of Peking duck.
How does it help exactly?
Point One: What is High Cholesterol Often Associated with Illnesses?
We need the right amount of cholesterol to make sure that all the tissues of our body function properly. Cholesterol in foods like meat, fish, poultry, egg yolk, and dairy products is absorbed by the intestine and delivered to the liver through the bloodstream. It is the liver that accounts for about 85 per cent of blood cholesterol levels while dietary intake may significantly add to the cholesterol produced in our body. If the liver supplies more than what we need, there will be an excess of cholesterol in the blood leading to increased risks of coronary and diabetic conditions.
Point Two: What is in Red Yeast Rice that Addresses the Problems of Having High Cholesterol?
Statins, drugs developed to lower cholesterol, work on the principle of controlling the amount of cholesterol the liver produces. Today they come in both synthesized and naturally-occurring forms, and one compound found in red yeast rice belongs to the latter group. Randomized trials showed results so desirable that employing statins in treatment of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases has been advocated over the years. Apart from their extensive application for the prevention of heart-related illnesses, more researches direct attention to their far-reaching uses against lung cancer, nuclear cataracts, and hypertension.
Point Three: Why Makes it Different from Cholesterol-lowering Drugs?
Be reminded that red yeast rice contain monocalins, natural, non-synthetic forms of statins. A yeast known as Monascus purpureus is introduced after the rice is soaked in water until saturated, and the mixture is incubated in room temperature from 3 to 6 days when it turns bright red. The fermentation process brings about the production of natural monocalin compounds, including monocalin K, whose purified form is identical to lovastatin in marketed drugs.
Remember to always choose name brands when buying red yeast rice to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase for internal use. Always consult a health care professional when starting red yeast rice and never mix medications with herbal supplements.

We are more aware now than ever before that the foods we eat nourish our body while some may bring harm. We know that the energy we need we get from our foods, the healthy life we live we benefit from healthy foods. In whatever manner foods are categorized, be it by the calories they contain or the places they come from, they are processed in the body in the same manner. All foods go through a process called digestion starting in the mouth into the alimentary canal with the aid of chemical compounds specialized for their absorption called enzymes.
Digestion occurs because of the presence of enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract. Foods are broken down into smaller substances, simpler compounds for use by the body. This process is coordinated with many other processes in the body altogether known as metabolism, and the enzymes of the digestive system serve as agents that connect digestion to the rest of metabolic reactions.
Mouth: Amylase and Lingual Lipase
Digestion begins in the oral cavity, the mouth in particular, with the chewing of foods. Right after we swallow them, foods are mixed with saliva, which softens the food and causes them to stick together in the form of bolus. The saliva has the enzyme amylase that breaks down bigger carbohydrates into sugars that dissolve in water like maltose. Also, the oral cavity contains the enzyme lingual lipase that helps break down some fats into simpler fatty acids. When we push the bolus form of foods to the back of the mouth after we chew, it passes through the esophagus into the stomach in a few seconds.
Stomach: Pepsin
If we fail to chew the foods we swallow, digestion starts in the stomach. Gastric acid is responsible for the low pH in the stomach, resulting in an acidic environment that exposes the chemical makeup of proteins and kill microorganisms that get in. The enzyme pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides, simpler amino acids. Alcohol passes through the stomach walls and gets absorbed by the blood, explaining the short time it takes to intoxicate the body. The rest of the food component is turned into a semi-fluid form called chime and passed to the small intestine.
Intestine: Carbohydrase, Lipase, and Protease
Much of the absorption process takes place in the small intestine where everything is further broken down into compounds the body can absorb through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream. Bile emulsifies fats and fatty acids. The pancreatic juice is a combination of different kinds of enzymes classified into three: (1) carbohydrase, (2) lipase, and (3) protease. Carbohydrase changes the chemical makeup of starches and other forms of carbohydrates into monosaccharides or simple sugars. Lipase changes emulsified fat molecules into monoglycerides and free fatty acids. Protease changes the peptide bonds of proteins into shorter chains of amino acids. All of which are ready for absorption by the fingerlike projections of the intestinal walls.
As you might have observed, enzymes are fundamental components of digestion. Have you had your digestive enzymes today?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
We know Vitamin B-complex is essential to a healthy body, but are we getting the sufficient amounts from the foods we eat? What we may not know is that B vitamins are present in a wide variety of foods only at low concentrations. Thus, we are not likely to meet the required daily intake for each vitamin. It is for this reason that supplementation of vitamins and nutrients are highly recommendable.
Chemical Compounds Known as B Vitamins
The same way we refer to other vitamins today, A, C, D, and so on, B-complex were believed to be one single compound for most of the 20th century largely owing to their coexistence in the same food sources. However, in the past few years scientists have found out that vitamin B is actually a group of separate entities with distinct chemical makeup.
What difference does it make?
Discovering the different chemical compounds in the once one B vitamin is significant indeed, not just for the scientific community but for all of us, since this advancement led to a better understanding of how each one of them reacts in the human body. Diseases resulting from a deficiency in one B vitamin can now be treated minus the adverse effects associated with high levels of other B vitamins. For example, Vitamin B3 occurs in the same foods as other B vitamins, but excessive intake of vitamin B3 is toxic to the liver. Supplementation avoids just that in addition to giving us the right amounts we need.
Here are the eight components of what we refer to as Vitamin B-Complex: Thiamine designated B1; Riboflavin, B2; Niacin, B3; Pantothenic acid, B5; Pyridozine, B6; Biotin, B7; Folic acid, B9; and Cyanocobalamin, B12.
Known Benefits of B-Complex Supplementation
Each of us has different dietary needs. Nevertheless, chances are we do not meet the recommended daily allowances for at least one of the vitamin B-complex, whatever diet we may follow. It is a fact that these vitamins do not occur at high levels in natural unprocessed food sources, let alone in abundance in processed goods, frozen or canned. Ironically, getting our hands on natural food products does not mean we get the vitamin B-complex we need.
Egg yolk is rich in B-complex, biotin in particular, but significantly reduces the effects of biotin when eaten with egg whites. Beer is a known source of vitamin B complex owing to the yeast used in its production, but ethanol as an alcohol inhibits the absorption of these vitamins.
Riboflavin occurs in relatively higher amounts in dairy products and vegetables like legumes, but disappears when exposed to light.
B-complex is water-soluble and likely to get expelled from the body in the urine. That�s why we need to make sure our body absorbs them when ingested. Since we just can�t equate eating the right foods with absorbing the right vitamins, supplementation does the job. Studies show that improved absorption leads to removing diseases and living a healthy life.

Gastric acid is one of the secretions in the stomach that aid digestion, and its absence results in an increased risk of infections and nutritional deficiencies. Betaine HCL helps when production of gastric acid is much lower than necessary, its use being of clinical significance in preventing unfavorable medical conditions. The proper functioning of the stomach depends on its ability to set an inside environment with low pH and break down the food before moving it through, and gastric acid being involved in both is an indispensable component.
Hydrochloric Acid
The stomach walls are composed of parietal cells responsible for the manufacture of gastric acid, whose production starts even before food is ingested. Every time you crave fast food or think of your favorite dish, up to 30 per cent of gastric acid is released into the stomach. The smell of foods and the first bite excite the digestive system, increasing the level of acidity by the time the food enters the stomach.
Hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, and sodium chloride make up gastric acid with a pH ranging from 2 to 4. Having released a significant amount of gastric acid in an empty stomach, the resulting low pH environment readily modifies the chemical makeup of incoming proteins. Together with other secretions in the stomach such as the enzyme pepsin, proteins turn into shorter molecular structures, and solid foods change into a slurry called chime moved to the small intestine for the next process.
More importantly, hydrochloric acid is a substance with active disinfectant properties, killing unwanted microorganisms that reach the stomach with the food. Certain microorganisms are known to colonize the gastrointestinal tract, for instance bacteria present in undercooked food, and they are known to cause many digestive illnesses, including peptic ulcers, stomach cancer, cholera, and gastroenteritis. Low concentrations of gastric acid render the stomach susceptible to otherwise preventable diseases.
Betaine Hydrochloride
In times when the parietal cells are damaged, the required amounts of gastric acid are difficult to attain, leading to a number of complications including malabsorption of nutrients. The stomach inability to produce proportionate concentrations of hydrochloric acid may result from large consumptions of foods that purposely contain loads of microbes to achieve a certain taste. Take for example, overindulgence in eating uncooked seafood, red meat, or dairy products. Betaine HCL has been known to help digestion in situations like these.
Betaine HCL not only assists the stomach in reaching the right levels of acidity, but also promotes its function to break down particularly challenging foods. There are ingested foods that sidestep the processes involved in changing their molecular structures prior to entering the small intestine, passing through the stomach largely undigested.
Thereafter, the small intestine triggers the pancreas to release higher levels of insulin into the bloodstream, causing a condition called hypoglycemia. In addition, the small intestine will have a hard time absorbing the nutrients in the undigested food.
Health professionals have long recommended supplementations of Betaine HCL especially to those who have existing stomach problems.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Milk thistle known to be an effective remedy for the liver has been in use for more than a thousand years. There is good scientific evidence for its use against cirrhosis and chronic liver diseases that are either alcohol-induced or caused by viruses. In addition, ongoing studies are looking into its alleged activities against a wide array of illnesses, notably acute viral hepatitis, diabetes, and cancer.
The most common types of milk thistles grow as biennial plants, but some are annuals. The plant stands erect up to 2 meters high on average, and the stem has visible grooves. At the end of the stem are the leaves that appear to be large spines attached to the stem but with the absence of petioles. The leaves covered with prickles have white veins, which contain sap that looks like milk. The flower sits at the top and made up of many pointed florets with colors varying from purplish red to bright pink, sometimes even white. The seed is actually an achene, a seed-like fruit that encloses the seed.
Historical Uses
Milk thistle is an indigenous plant of the Mediterranean region but spread to Greece, Italy, and up north to Germany over two thousand years ago, favoring dry areas that receive a fair amount of sunlight. Its uses are widespread across Europe and can be traced back to the ancient times when early Greek physicians prepared solutions using this herb as the main ingredient.
In the famed pharmacopeia authored by the Greek naturalist Pedanius Dioscorides, a number of edible thistles were categorized as silybum, herbs known to wash away bad contaminants of the humors blood, yellow bile, and black bile, contributing to the common belief at the time in its effectiveness as a health tonic against diseases of the liver, spleen, and gall bladder.
Later influences of humorism, an early theory about the human body widely accepted by physicians in Greek and Roman antiquity, might have led to the popular use throughout the centuries. In the Middle Ages, the plant became associated with the religious figure Mary the mother of Christ as evidenced by the naming of one species Silybum marianum. At that time its milky liquid was used in a variety of ways, even touted as a cosmetic product.
Modern Uses
Researches in the second half of the 20th century point to polyphenolic antioxidants now identified as silymarin present in milk thistle extracts. Recent studies focused on the use of this antioxidant show that silymarin is indeed the active ingredient that has proven to have positive effects on the liver.
In patients diagnosed with liver inflammation, milk thistle not only helps the liver remove toxic substances but also improves liver function, leading to a stable liver condition. Of special note is its ability to prevent damages to the liver resulting from activities of drugs, alcohol, and microorganisms. Its continuing role in clinical trials is largely due to the absence of side effects even at extremely high doses.

Cod liver oil goes beyond preventing rickets, now also widely accepted as a treatment for joint pains characteristic of arthritis. Owing to its high levels of the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, cod liver oil has been promoted as one fundamental part of a healthy diet, even regarded on par with green leafy vegetables. With its association with the decrease in mortality, its benefits against major illnesses encompass diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and many others.
Health professionals know that cod liver oil greatly differ from fish oil in that the former has considerably higher amounts of Vitamin A and Vitamin D. The reason why there was a surge in its popularity was its long touted claim to supply amounts of vitamins A and D that border the recommended daily allowance. Since a lot of us do not meet the healthy levels of these vitamins, cod liver oil is indeed a smart supplementation of our diet.
Omega 3 fatty acids have long been recognized to act as intermediaries between nerve cells, the basic unit of the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the nervous system. EPA and DHA are of special note at the development stage of childhood when neural activities believed to be synchronized in the presence of fatty acids are most active. While the exact roles of EPA and DHA remain under close scrutiny by neurologists nowadays, it is clear that they play an indispensable role in keeping the overall stability of the central nervous system.
Precursor of Healing Agents
The clinical significance of Eicosapentaenoic Acid, EPA, is largely attributed to its being a precursor of important inflammatory agents that protect the body against invasive stimuli. These agents are signaling molecules in the body called eicosanoids that rely on sustained levels of EPA for production. In addition, EPA has been tied to alleviate mental conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, and suicidal tendencies. The mechanism by which it helps these mental disorders is now subject to studies.
Enhancer of Memory
Docosahexaenoic Acid, DHA, plays a more prominent role in recent studies concerning Alzheimer's disease. As a matter of fact, there has been a routine use of DHA in treating patients with the disease all these years. A deficiency in DHA in early life is now noted to a likely decline in mental health even in healthy adults. One study that involved more than 400 participants confirmed to have memory problems related to age point to improved learning and decreased complaints concerning memory lapses after DHA intake for six months.
Continuing Role in New Researches
Cod liver oil promises to bring further benefits in the field of neuroscience in that its involvement in inflammatory processes sheds light on the understanding of many brain functions and related illnesses. Recently, it is linked to studies about the damages of myelin sheaths that protect the axons of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, resulting in different physical and cognitive functions such as problems in speech and difficulties with balance.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
ADHD is now widely accepted as a legitimate human condition with records of its description dating back to at least the 18th century when it was considered a sustained restlessness of the mind. Early physicians advocated special education for children born with ADHD in that this condition was accounted for by the abnormalities of the nerves contrary to environmental factors such as upbringing practices.
With the advent of psychiatry in the 20th century surfaced a number of studies linking ADHD to physiological makeup and activities described as not normal. This continuing concern among parents and researchers alike led to researches on a number of chemical compounds that target specific brain functions, including phosphatidyl serine much known as a biochemical component of cell membranes in the body.
History of Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
The first known scientific inquiry into this disorder was in 1798 when ADHD was referred to as fidgets. A Scottish-born physician, Sir Alexander Crichton, documented his observations on the inability of some children to keep attention even in environments making use of corporal punishment as a disciplinary measure. He noted that this condition seemed to get better with age while exhibited to a noticeable degree, if not intolerable, at young age, describing every possible stimulus contributing to the impairment of attention such as an otherwise unnoticeable change in room temperature and a need to meet a desirable level of comfort.
At the turn of the 20th century, Sir George Frederick Still published his lectures on, as he put it, an abnormal psychical conditions in children. He observed that the moral flaws evident in children not good in academics but equally as quick-witted as any other child outside the classroom were caused by a mental condition governing the ability of the human body to sustain attention, adding emphasis on the moral consciousness being "the control of action in conformity with the idea of the good of all". This mental condition, as he proposed, was predetermined by genetics or resulted from injuries.
Targets of Ongoing ADHD Studies
ADHD as the mental condition varies in different levels but is commonly associated with hyperactivity. Up to now the scientific community hasn't come to a conclusion as to which genetic factors are largely responsible for ADHD. However, studies underway point to ADHD implicating genes that have an effect on dopamine levels. Phosphatidyl serine being a phospholipid that promotes fluidity between cells, including nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, is now tied to dopamine transporters and receptors, having yielded positive results among patients diagnosed with ADHD.
Since phosphatidyl serine displays no adverse effects, it has been granted a qualified health claim by the US Food and Drug Administration to possibly reduce the risk of certain mental disorders. In the past few years it has been in use as a therapeutic agent in dopamine-related disorders and added to dietary supplements specialized for ADHD patients.

Resveratrol is one of the most commonly known antioxidant chemicals largely owing to its well-known role in the French Paradox popularized in the 1990's. The myriad citations that point to its implication in reducing free radicals, thus touted for its anti-aging effects, have been seized upon by the mainstream press, spurring an ever growing number of studies centered on its properties and possible uses. It is now a prevalent practice in the health food sector to include resveratrol in dietary supplements.
As an Antioxidant against Free Radicals
There are important processes for life called oxidation-reduction reactions that change the oxidation number in chemical compounds demonstrated by the turning of iron into rust or sugar into organic compounds needed by the body. These processes produce the reactive oxygen species called free radicals like superoxide, which is employed by the body in killing mechanisms against invading pathogenic microbes. However, the same free radicals create a chain of unwanted chemical reactions called oxidative stress that result in the continued damage of cells, consequently leading to the developments of certain diseases such as cancer, stroke, and diabetes in addition to the all too well known free radical syndrome hemochromatosis.
Having too many free radicals render the body susceptible to harmful aging-related processes. It is for this reason that free radicals are often equated with aging. Antioxidants come to the rescue and counter free radicals in the latter's role in wreaking havoc in the body. Hence, antioxidants are dubbed anti-aging agents. The body produces natural antioxidants, but low levels of antioxidants cause oxidative stress. Vitamin C, for example, contributes to achieving high ascorbate blood levels proven to be effective in preventing oxidative stress-related illnesses. Resveratrol in supplements is ought to cut the chain reaction of oxidative stress and repair damages to proteins, lipids, and even DNA.
On the Road to a Cancer Cure
While there are no clinical trials that determine its purported health benefits for humans, resveratrol has shown significant results in the reduction of cancerous cells among animal models. So what is the hype all about? There is strong evidence that it does facilitate anti-cancer actions especially when it is in direct contact with cancer cells. Resveratrol applied to body surfaces with cancer slows the growth of cancerous cells whereas oral administrations showed no desirable outcomes. This is true for mice inoculated with melanoma cells and lung carcinoma.
The premise is that resveratrol programs the death of cancerous cells. How is it possible? It inhibits all three processes involved in the creation of cancer: the birth of the first cancer cells, their continued production, and their unmitigated progression. In vitro, this is true. The challenge now lies in ensuring that the right concentrations of resveratrol survive the metabolic processes in the intestines and the liver and get absorbed by the blood to facilitate systematic cancer prevention in human beings.
Look for resveratrol in 100mg and 200mg capsule or tablet bottles at your local or internet vitamin store. Always choose name brands like Source Naturals to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase for better health.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Huperzine A is a naturally-occurring chemical compound recently isolated from the fir clubmoss Shezushishan, identified as Huperzia serrata, which has long been in use as a memory enhancer in China. It has caught the attention of neuroscientists in the US, and randomized controlled trials in connection with its effects against neural degeneration are underway as two separate studies are conducted by the National Institute of Aging and Harvard Medical School. As a matter of fact, this compound is alleged to bring new advances in the war against Alzheimer's disease.
Huperzine A is believed to be involved in two different mechanisms: (1) increasing Nerve Growth factor, and (2) inhibiting Acetylcholinesterase, both of which have been linked to memory enhancement.
Nerve Growth Factor
Huperzine A is suggested to elevate NGF levels. Discovered in the 1950's, a protein called Nerve Growth Factor, abbreviated as NGF, is now fully understood to be responsible for the growth, development, and proper functions of nerve cells, which are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. Thus, NGF is vital to maintaining stable conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the nervous system.
One study has tied NGF to the development of sensory neurons and the repair of damaged nerves in the eyes in adults, taking special note of its purported role against corneal ulcers. In fact, it has shown to induce nerve regeneration and also supervise the process. NGF also exhibits inflammatory activities, making it a significant substance in treating diseases associated with inflammation. Furthermore, it plays a role in metabolic syndrome, decreasing the risk of developing heart diseases and diabetes.
Acetylcholine and Acetylcholinesterase
There are compounds produced in the body to act as messengers between nerve cells and other types of cells called neurotransmitters. Acetylcholine is one kind of neurotransmitter that is a part of two different networks: first, the network has an effect on visceral functions of the body such as the pumping of the heart, the breathing in and out, the release of saliva and sweat; and second, the network in control of voluntary movements by way of skeletal muscles as a reaction to outside stimuli. With that, acetylcholine is directly connected to chemical reactions that induce pleasurable effects in the body, enhancing sensory perceptions in the process. In addition, acetylcholine has been linked to the execution of cognitive and motor skills, that is, the retrieval of saved memories to facilitate actions involved in touch-typing, driving a car, and similar activities.
However, there is an enzyme that disintegrates acetylcholine into entirely different types of compounds, putting an end to acetylcholine's activities as neurotransmitters. This enzyme, identified as acetylcholinesterase, has an effect on a massive number of acetylcholine molecules, erases each acetylcholine in an instant, and terminates the processes acetylcholine molecules are involved in. Huperzine A targets this enzyme, correcting unwanted imbalance between acetylcholine and acetylcholinesterase. By so doing, Huperzine A helps in achieving the desired levels of acetylcholine in the body to enhance memory and other acetylcholine functions.
Look for huperzine A at your local or internet vitamin store in table or capsule form. Always choose name brands to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase for consumption.

If you love sweet foods and beverages but hate the weight-increasing effects that they bring, then you must have heard about stevia. Lately it has been taken on to provide alternative to aspartame as a sugar substitute. Japan in particular has used it as a sweetener over the years. Now there is good evidence in support of it use not only as a dietary supplement but also as a food additive.
Historical Use
Stevia, or Ka'a he' as known to some tribes native to Latin America, has been cultivated and harvested for its sweet extracts as well a number of herbal uses over the centuries. The Guarani tribes make use of ka'a he'e to treat heartburn, aid digestion, and keep skin healthy-looking. The first European to take note of it as a natural sweetener was the Italian Dr. Moises Santiago Bertoni, and it was later commonly used as the sweetener Yelba Dulce, sweet herb, in Erva Mate teas.
Sweetening Substances
The Royal Botanical Gardens in London, England supervised the cultivation of stevia in an attempt to understand its sweetening effects in the 1940's. The researchers were hoping to utilize stevia as an alternative to sugar as the latter proved to be inadequate to meet commodity demands when the Second World War broke out, but the research was later abandoned. It was in Japan where the herb Stevia rebaudiana was successfully grown in hothouses to yield commercial results as early as the 1970's, and, since its production by the company Morita Kagaku Kogyo, has accounted for fifty per cent of all sweetening products.
Two compounds are largely responsible for the sweetness in stevia's extracts: (1) stevioside, up to 300 times sweeter than the sugar sucrose, accounts for 5 to 10 per cent and (2) rebaudioside A, up to 450 times sweeter, accounts for 2-4%. These compounds produce the non-sugar compounds now called steviol glycosides being used as the commercial sweetener. Steviol does not get altered by heat and acid-base states, making it ideal as a sweetener to a huge list of foods and beverages. In addition, steviol exhibit properties that are known to obstruct the growth of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoans, and reduces inflammation in the human body.
Safety Concerns
In Japan, which has a strict regulatory body governing the use of food additives, the use of steviol glycosides has never been associated with any harmful effects. The Japanese have been adding steviol in virtually all sweetened products, from table top sweeteners to soft drinks, including Coca Cola. Stevia's centuries-old ethnomedical uses in South America have not shown any interference in insulin's job to lower blood sugar. Now it is alleged that they may even play a crucial role in promoting insulin production. One thing is for sure: steviol compounds do not add to the levels of glucose in the blood at all, hence the popularity among diabetic patients and carb-conscious people alike.
Stevia and related sweeteners like xylitol is available at your local or internet vitamin store in liquild and bulk powder forms. Always choose name brands to ensure quality of the sweetener product you purchase for your tea.
Stevia powder is available at VitaNet(R), LLC Vitamin Store.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Addiction to alcohol is a disorder that entails on the alcohol dependent serious health issues, both physical and mental, in addition to social ramifications. Alcoholism is now tied to substance abuse in that it has almost always been associated with the harmful use of drugs in medical definitions. In fact, the term alcoholism first came into use to enumerate the negative effects of alcohol on health. There has been increased social concern in connection with alcoholism in the past few years, inspiring the developments of group work technologies that aim to attain sobriety among alcohol dependents worldwide, take for example Alcoholics Anonymous. With that, the recent discovery of Kudzu as an agent in fighting off alcohol cravings at the molecular level promises to bring sobering effects.
Popular Uses of Kudzu
Kudzu has in fact been reputed as a traditional remedy against alcohol consumptions in the East, where it is dubbed one of the most fundamental among all herbs. Every part of the plant has different roles in Japanese culinary practices. The leaves are a prized ingredient as they add flavor to sautéed vegetable dishes and pressed salads. Powdery extracts of the root are either used to coat deep-fried tempuras or added to local desserts and fruit preserves as well as being served in the winter season as a popular sweet beverage known as kuzuyu tea. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) widely practiced by physicians in Asia nowadays, it is believed to be the active ingredient in powdered medicines touted as hangover busters with an added emphasis on its role in remedying alcohol cravings.
Medicinal Properties
There are chemical compounds called polyphenols noted for their activities against cancer that are found in high concentrations in kudzu. Isoflavones are naturally occurring polyphenols, making Kudzu an ideal source of antioxidants. In a chemical process called oxidation-reduction there are by-products called reactive oxygen species that aid in metabolic processes in the body. Some reactive oxygen species, however, are deployed in large numbers, rendering the body unable to detoxify them in time. These species called free radicals alters highly reactive non-radical molecules into harmful radicals, and propagates a chain reaction at the cellular level, usually targeting lipids that protect the cells and damaging the cells in the process. Antioxidants like isoflavones keep this process from continuing.
Kudzu and Alcohol
Apart from its significant role in anti-cancer researches today, Kudzu is also the subject of a recent study conducted by Harvard Medical School. The study has yielded preliminary results that back up the centuries-old medicinal practice of the Chinese in curbing excessive consumptions of alcohol. After getting desirable outcomes with in vivo trials involving golden hamster, the researchers distributed kudzu extracts to human beings. The results were overwhelming. Participants of the study who took kudzu had their alcohol consumption was significantly reduced in that their attitude toward binge drinking had changed, convincing researchers that a certain substance in kudzu controls the brain's mechanisms in connection with alcohol intake.
Look for kudzu in capsule or tablet forms at your local or internet vitamin store. Always choose name brands like Planetary formulas and Solaray to ensure quality, purity, and authenticity of the product you purchase for personal use.

The recent evidence that resveratrol lengthens the lifespan of certain living organisms has brought new hopes and promises about human life. No wonder there is continued hustle today as manifested in the explosion of researches and clinical trials aiming to further the developments of the antioxidant and its related components that may be useful not only in warding off major diseases such as cancer but extending our lives.
History
Resveratrol has been a reputed antioxidant in the past few years. It was first isolated by M. Takaoka from the perennial herb Veratrum album in 1939 to understand its medicinal properties. Its use can be traced back to the ancient times when it was applied as an oral emetic to induce vomiting of harmful substances ingested. The last years of the 19th century played host to a number of in vitro and in vivo researches focused on yielding anti-cancer evidence, and, in 1997, Jang reported the first incidence of clear prevention of carcinogen with topical applications of resveratrol in mice inoculated with melanoma cells. In vitro resveratrol exhibits evident life extension effects in its interactions with cancerous cells of breast, skin, gastric, colon, prostate, and pancreas.
Free Radicals
The advent of radical chemistry brought concerns about the life threatening effects of excessive amounts of free radicals in the body. The depositions of iron in the body brings about a number of aging-related illnesses, including the degeneration of the functional pumping of the actual heart muscle, the replacement of liver tissues with scarred tissues and abnormal nodules, the unmitigated accumulation of iron in joints, the failure of islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, among others, all of which are believed to be caused by free radicals. Free radicals are reactive oxygen species that play a direct role in warding off pathogens and other harmful microorganism, but are equally harmful in large amounts as they ignite a chain reaction that renders cells damaged and unable to assume their functions.
Vitamins known for their antioxidant activities such as A, C, and E catapulted into mainstream awareness the significance of antioxidants to the well being of living organisms and their important role in the biochemistry of the human body. With that, there have been subsequent studies in the past decades in pursuit of identifying useful antioxidants and producing them. Come into the picture polyphenols like resveratrol, which now is incorporated in a wide array of dietary supplements and food products.
Life Extension
Not only does resveratrol play a role as an antioxidant, which in and of itself contribute to living a healthy, long life, but it is also directly involved in prolonging the lives of living organisms such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. These effects on life extension are evident, but how they work is up to now being investigated. The goal of related studies lately is to be able to apply these life-extending benefits to human beings.
Always look to your local or internet vitamin store for quality resveratrol supplements to help fight free radical damage. Don't forget to buy only name brands for quality and purity.

Make no mistake about it: curcumin has long been identified as the compound responsible for the anti-inflammatory benefits of the ginger plant turmeric. The herb turmeric has been around for ages, cultivated for its wide array of culinary and medicinal uses that transcend regional and cultural boundaries. Apart from the popular use of its powdery form in bread, cakes, ale, and beer as a flavoring, the plant contains up to 5 per cent curcumin, which is one type of polyphenols now being looked into for its antioxidant properties.
Prostaglandin and Inflammation Pain
Autocrines and paracrines are contained in almost all tissues and organs to effectively participate in bodily defenses every time the systems call for them, for example in treating wounds. Prostaglandins are either autrocrines or paracrines that take on the job of signaling the tissues and systems implicated in defensive reactions when the body detects unwanted and harmful stimuli. Cells release autocrines to have an effect on the same cells and paracrines to aid nearby cells, making these compounds function as effective chemical messengers in immediate vicinities anywhere in the body as they are short-lived.
Prostaglandin is known as the chemical messenger causing pain and igniting fever among others. Defensive mechanisms start when cells release mediators, including prostaglandin, which brings about the known signs of inflammation. Prostaglandins relax smooth muscle cells within the walls of blood vessels in the area of inflammation and promote the flow of needed fluids like blood and plasma proteins into the spot, leading to the subsequent redness and swelling. They continue to mediate the healing process by permitting the entrance of neutrophil granulocytes, the front-line soldiers against harmful stimuli, and consequently put an end to invading pathogens. The same group of chemicals also increases pain at the same time, for example the joint pains associated with inflammation called arthritis.
Curcumin and Anti-inflammation
Painkillers, classified as analgesic drugs, work in a number of ways that in the end relieve the continual sensitization of certain body parts to pain. One group called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen targets the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of prostaglandins aim to reduce levels of prostaglandins.
Curcumin works on the same principle. Take for example, joint pains caused by arthritis. Be reminded that individuals who complain about joint pains are suffering from varied forms of medical conditions, which one way or another contribute to the pain in addition to having excessive levels of prostaglandins in the joints involved. Damage to the joint brought about by wear and tear or forced movement involving joints spurs the body to take defensive measures that include inflammatory effects, thus the pain. The intake of curcumin and its derivatives act on the cells in its production of prostaglandins, resulting in both the easing of pain and the lessening of inflammation.
Always choose curcumin in standardized extract form to ensure you buy a herbal product that contains what is on the label. Look for curcumin at your local or internet vitamin store in capsule, tablet, bulk powder or liquid extract forms.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Bad breath is a serious problem, getting in the way of your social interactions. Also called halitosis, it can develop into a chronic condition and may be a symptom of other diseases. Don't worry, it is not infrequent. As a matter of fact, it accounts for a significant fraction of visits to the dentist. Modifying your oral hygiene practices, such as using tongue cleaner, is important when you think that you have bad breath, and a trip to the dentist is highly recommended if bad breath still persists after.
Known Causes
It is generally accepted that most cases of halitosis directly involve the tongue and the neighboring tissues. The tongue plays host to millions of microorganisms, and bacteria lead the pack in giving off the fetid smell in the mouth. The human body has very efficient defense mechanisms that counter invasive bacteria in the mouth, the release of saliva, for instance. Sometimes food particles and related debris collect in our mouth especially when we don't give enough attention to proper oral hygiene, encouraging bacterial activities such as producing chemical compounds that emit all sorts of foul gases.
Saliva aids in ridding your mouth of unwanted food deposits, and in the process fight off bacteria feeding on these traces of foods. Decreased levels of saliva causes dry mouth, giving rise to proliferation of bacteria. Take for example: at night when we are asleep the absence of saliva is the reason why we have a slightly unpleasant odor on the breath the morning after.
The back of the tongue is a particularly hospitable niche for anaerobic bacteria in the mouth in that it is drier in comparison with other parts of the tongue. Also, this part is frequently left out when brushing our teeth, resulting in the buildup of a combination of food remnants, dead cells, and bacteria. It should also be noted that the same bacteria creates plaque on our teeth and significantly contributes to tooth decay and periodontal diseases.
Not all cases of bad breath are attributed to tongue bacteria though. Bad breath is also associated with sinus infections, tonsillitis, and systematic diseases, such as liver failure, lung infections, and diabetes mellitus, among others.
Oral Hygiene
You would have understood by now an optimum oral hygiene helps in removing bad breath, but you may not have realized as yet that the use of a tongue cleaner rids your mouth of up to 500 different types of bacteria. The back of the tongue appears convoluted, making it ideal for the aggregation of bacteria and difficult to clean at the same time. Scraping your tongue with a toothbrush may lead to irritating and damaging the tissues, and the bristles just cast the bacteria everywhere else in the mouth. There's a reason why it's called a tongue cleaner: it was developed to remove unwanted debris sticking to the tongue. Furthermore, studies show a link between the use of a tongue cleaner and the decrease in bad breath.
Look for quality durable tongue cleaners at your local or internet vitamin store. Always choose name brands to ensure durability.

In the United States alone, over 1.5 million individuals have reported to suffer from macular degeneration, and this number is expected to increase. The condition characterized by the blurring or loss of the central part of the vision field is either caused by the loss of cones at the central part of the eye or the abnormal growth of blood vessels in the capillaries behind the retina, and may lead to legal blindness. Lutein has been recommended by health professionals and specialists in eye problems to impede the progress of this age related illness.
Macula
Age-related macular degeneration, commonly abbreviated as AMD, is, as its name suggests, due to the breaking down of cells in the macula lutea as we age. The macula, located at the center of the retina of the human eye, has molecular structures that are responsible for high visual acuity and houses a high concentration of cones, which facilitate the perception of color in the eye and work best in bright light. It has a high deposition of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, displaying a highly visible yellow pigmentation.
Drusen
Associated with the aging process is the formation of small and hard extracellular debris now identified as drusen, and in general the first drusen appear in the human eye between the retina and the choroid when we hit 40. These cellular deposits may accumulate into larger masses and significantly obstruct the supply of blood from the choroid to the retina. The central field of vision is a display of the functions of the macula and gets impaired blood supply through the choroid is cut off by coalesced drusen materials.
Choroid
The function of choroid is to supply the retina with oxygen and other nutrients as transported by the blood. New vascular tissues that form in the choroid may grow abnormally and turn into defective blood vessels, consequently resulting in age-related macular degeneration. This type of AMD is oftentimes referred to as wet in that it causes the leakage of blood and protein in the macula. The bleeding scars and damages the surrounding tissues and leads to rapid loss of vision if not given immediate attention.
Lutein
Remember that the macula contains lutein, which belongs to a group of yellow carotenoids known as xanthophylls. The macula, like sunglasses, protects us from bright lights by absorbing both blue light and ultraviolet distributed in the eye. Lutein, as well as the other carotenoid zeaxanthin, works on the same principle, appearing yellow to the naked eye. Now the reason why the macula is visibly yellow is that they contain these yellow carotenoids, which we largely get from the food we eat. Lutein, in addition to zeaxanthin, is widely believed to keep the macula healthy and ward off macular degeneration. Dietary intake with high doses of protein is considered the only effective way to slow AMD.
Lutein is available in capsule and tablet forms at your local or internet vitamin store. Always choose name brands of Lutein to ensure quality and purity of the eye supplement you purchase.

Article Title: Did You Know That Folic Acid Can Help Prevent Birth Defects?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
There is continuing good press for folic acid in several aspects of human health, but the foremost health issue it addresses is human reproduction. The popular belief that folic acid removes serious birth defects is supported by incontrovertible scientific facts. If a woman plans on getting pregnant, eating foods rich in folic acid is among other things that have to take priority.
History
At the beginning of the 19th century, folate, the naturally occurring form of folic acid, gained prominence in association with anemia. It was widely accepted to equate anemia with folate deficiency, spurring the earliest researches on folate as a treatment for anemia. In the 1930's, folate was first isolated to aid further researches owing to the discovery that it is the substance responsible for correcting anemia. The success of procuring folic acid in a pure crystalline form led to the production of the first anti-cancer drug as early as the 1940's. In the past few years, there has been growing emphasis on the right consumptions of folate-rich foods to meet the daily folate requirements.
Roles
Folate is an indispensable component of life in that it is directly connected to DNA and RNA processes, most notably in inhibiting changes to DNA. Folate deficiency results in limited production of cells such as erythrocytes, also called red blood cells, bringing about abnormalities of cells in the body. The condition now known as megaloblastic anemia is often caused by low levels of folate in the body and characterized by abnormally large but immature red blood cells. There is a steady growth of red cells, but the absence of DNA synthesis renders these cells incapable of replicating. For individuals who suffer from anemia, these immature cells are released into the body to attempt to counter anemia but to no avail.
Benefits
The fact that folate sustains the enhanced rate of cell division promotes the correct developments of body tissues and organs during pregnancy, significantly reducing the number of reported congenital malformations. There is good evidence that folate stabilizes DNA synthesis in red blood cells, hence the prevalent opinion that it is a must-have prior to conception. The employment of red blood cells is important to the first half of pregnancy as this time covers the central nervous system including the brain and spinal cord in the fetal development, leading to a drop in folate levels before and during this stage. Increased folate intake does not only remove birth defects that has something to do with the nervous system like neural tube defects, but was also cited to reduce cases of heart defects, limb defects, and the dreaded cleft lip.
Sources
Folic acid supplementation is highly recommended by health professionals. While there are countless food sources of folate, it has been noted that most people fail to meet the required amount. This is the same reason why the fortification of food with folate has become a sweeping campaign. Folic acid is vital to daily body processes and must be kept at healthy levels.
Look for folic acid in capsule or tablet form at your local or internet vitamin store. Always choose name brands to ensure quality when buying vitamin supplements.

Migraine equals pain, the kind that we are not going to have a break from once it strikes. It accounts for a significant fraction of emergency room visits, often getting in the way of work. In fact, studies say that more often than not migraine sufferers do not feel fit to work every time they go through an attack, let alone get the job done. It is for this reason why it has given rise to significant concerns at the workplace. Apart from its role in one's decline in productivity and its consequent economic impact, migraine is just unbearable and its onset signals sufferers to seek immediate relief in ready analgesics and herbal remedies, including the much talked-about butterbur extract.
Petasites and Historical Uses
Petasites are a group of rhizomatous plants more commonly known as butterbur. The first known medicinal use of butterbur can be traced back to the ancient times when Greek physicians, most notable Dioscurides, applied the extracts to body surfaces to treat skin sores and other types of ulcers. In the Middle Ages, the plant proved to be of great help against infections especially during the outbreak of bubonic plague and the following years when the infamous Black Death wreaked havoc across Europe. Also, it has been a spiritual healing practice of American Indians to make use of butterbur, its roots to be exact, as a remedy for open wounds, sores, and headache, and up to now reported to have positive effects against nausea, migraine, and inflammatory diseases.
Petasin and Isopetasin
Today butterbur is often referred to as anti-inflammatory, and is associated with aiding allergies as well as migraines. The extracts of the plant contains two active anti-inflammatory agents: petasin and isopetasin. Both of these compounds have properties against allergic reactions and muscle spasms, acting on vascular smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. A lot of ongoing researches related to petasin and isopetasin point to their activities at a molecular level that includes interfering in the synthesis of chemical compounds in the body, particularly prostaglandins and leukotrienes, two families of signaling molecules that supervise the inflammation process, with an added emphasis on butterbur extracts' role against prostaglandin, the pain chemical.
Butterbur Extract and Pain Chemicals
Molecules in the human body called eicosanoids are important in sending messages to organs of all systems and creating network of communication among body tissues in these organs. Two eicosanoid groups called prostaglandins and luekotrienes are responsible for initiating inflammation, including allergic reactions. Prostaglandins control the widening of the muscles in the region where inflammation occurs and signal neutrophils to enter the region and put an end to the inflammation process by fighting off harmful molecules. In the process of ridding your body with unwanted chemicals, prostaglandins sensitize the region to pain, including the severe throbbing of the head when migraine attacks. Petasin and isopetasin in butterbur extract ought to inhibit the pain prostaglandin causes.
Look for quality butterbur at your local or internet vitamin store. Always choose name brands of butterbur like Source Naturals, Solaray, and Planetary Formulas to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase for better health.

Lipids are some of the things you can't live without, inasmuch as they play an indispensable role in keeping your body tissues functional. At the molecular level they take on varied jobs, from covering the interior of every cell in the body from the outside environment to keeping a network of messengers between organs and systems to supervise coordinated body functions. But a few of these lipids bring more harm in large numbers, and are thus dubbed bad cholesterol. The good news is that you can do something about it since their numbers are proportional to the foods you eat, saturated fats in particular. In addition, we have a wide array of supplements that decrease cholesterol levels today, Guggul being one of the naturally occurring cholesterol-lowering substances.
Cholesterol and Triglycerides
Chemical reactions in the human body require the use of the lipids cholesterol and triglycerides. They are released into the bloodstream by the liver and distributed to parts of the body that need them. Some of the processes cholesterol takes part in are the productions of bile acids, which are secreted into the intestines to aid the digestion process, and fat-soluble substances known as vitamins, which of course are nutrients of high significance to healthy life. Triglycerides, on the other hand, are energy sources that give off twice as much caloric content as carbohydrates in addition to being the primary form of transport of fatty acids in the bloodstream. However, these lipids don't get anywhere without LDL, low-density lipoproteins.
Low-density Lipoproteins
Remember that the lipids cholesterol and triglycerides are incapable of getting dissolved in water. With that, low-density lipoproteins serve as transport shells for these lipids all the way from the liver, through the water-based bloodstream, and into each cell, which makes use of them primarily as part of the lipid layers of cell membranes. Now as they travel inside the blood vessels low-density lipoproteins, cholesterol, and triglycerides leave behind fatty deposits, which contributes to the formation of plaques stuck to the walls of arteries. As the fatty materials build up within the walls, the plaques thicken, and result in the subsequent inflammatory reaction characteristic of the medical condition called atherosclerosis.
Guggul and Cholesterol Synthesis
There are continued studies focused on the correlation between high levels of bad cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases, but there's a reason why it's called bad cholesterol in the first place. In addition, the recent trend on the regular intake of cholesterol-lowering drugs point to patients at risk for heart diseases consequently having better quality of life, including those who take advantage of the medicinal benefits of guggul. The herb's active ingredient called guggulsterone has been linked to the production of cholesterol in the liver, targeting the synthesis by which the liver manufactures cholesterol. Guggul has in fact been in use for over 3000 years in Ayurvedic medicine and noted for its substance that lowers cholesterol.
Guggul and other wonderful herbs like guggul are available at your local or internet vitamin store in capsule or tablet forms. Always choose name brands to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase for better health.

Chances are you have heard about antioxidants. They're everywhere: in the news, on the internet, and, of course, in our body. The first group of antioxidants that spurred the war against free radicals are Vitamin C and Vitamin E. As early as the 15th century, seafarers knowingly consumed citrus fruits in treatment of scurvy, which today we refer to as a disease caused by a deficiency of Vitamin C. On the other hand, intake of green leafy vegetables results in healthy cells in the body, touted lately as one of the benefits of Vitamin E. Since the latter half of the 20th century the term antioxidants have come into wide use, sparking a series of studies that led scientists and health professionals to a much more well-informed understanding of how important these vitamins are to human life.
Antioxidants and Free Radicals
Two things about biochemistry that have been a part of our growing concern about eating right are antioxidants and free radicals, which you might have learned outside the classroom. The human body deploy free radicals for the purpose of killing harmful microorganisms, but somehow these chemical entities get out of control. It should be noted that most known free radicals are short-lived, explaining how we survive as they are toxic to the body. When not properly disposed of, free radicals are one of the reactive oxygen species that create a chain reaction damaging everything, including DNA. The problem arises when the body fails to detoxify these reactive oxygen species, and then the latter run amok inside the body. This is when antioxidants come into the picture.
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Peroxyl Radicals
Vitamin C and Vitamin E are lipids that protect the interior of cells from the outside environment and play a role in storing energy for use by the human body. Different groups of lipids encompass several major chemical reactions in the body, including securing the proper functions of physiological communication lines. In a process called lipid peroxidation, peroxyl radicals go on a killing spree by depriving the lipids of electrons, which continues as they bring in more radicals. The human body make use of Vitamin C and Vitamin E to police the proliferation of lipid radicals in time to deactivate lipid radicals and avoid unwanted effects on cell membranes.
Ascorbate and Tocopherol as Co-Antioxidants
In chemical reactions, the body utilizes forms of tocopherol in Vitamin E and ascorbate ions in Vitamin C. These antioxidants work on the principle of pairing with peroxyl radicals, taking on radical forms, ascorbate and tocopherol, to stop the oxidation process initiated by free radicals. At the molecular level, ascorbate makes an ideal antioxidant as it does not react with oxygen and terminates harmful peroxyl radicals that continue to oxidize. Studies say that Vitamin C and Vitamin E are co-antioxidants in that ascorbate works with tocopherol. For example, when continuing oxidation damage lipids, tocopherol, Vitamin E, removes the harmful radicals, and ascorbate recycles Vitamin E back to its usable tocopherol form.
Look to your local or internet vitamin store for quality name brand Vitamin E and Vitamin C.

Green tea is no doubt one health commodity that has enjoyed unwavering popularity over the course of history. From being a traditional beverage in Asia, it has evolved into a medicinal powerhouse. Today it is the subject of a seemingly never-ending chain of health practices involved in both conventional and alternative medicine. As a matter of fact, public opinion equates green tea with good health.
History and Cultural Practices
Now enjoyed as refreshment in China, green tea was initially picked and gathered for its medicinal properties as early as the third century BC, when it was believed to boost alertness and ease gastric illnesses. The Chinese began growing Camellia sinensis in increased amounts during the Tang Dynasty, and soon green tea moved out of the realm of herbalism, becoming a drink tied to national identity. In the 9th century AD there was a growing interest in incorporating tea preparation in traditions of hospitality and politeness, which developed into sets of rules that encompassed a larger cultural practice. Tea travelled to neighboring nations as Buddhist monks set off on pilgrimages in China and back. Japan in particular has treasured the ceremony associated with tea consumption, which up to now remains an important art form. European traders brought tea from Asia to in the 16th, but it was only in the past few years that green tea has experienced a surge in popularity owing to recent studies focused on differences in levels of antioxidants between green and black teas.
Antioxidants in Green Tea and Benefits
Make no mistake about it: green tea contains more potent antioxidants than black tea. The polyphenol antioxidant catechin found in green tea is responsible for regulating the body process called oxidative stress brought about by free radicals. A chemical reaction called redox, also known as oxidation-reduction, gives rise to a harmful chain reaction when byproducts called reactive oxygen species, free radicals for example, increase to undesirable levels, subsequently contributing to damage of all sorts of cells. It has recently been noted that free radicals pose greater danger by playing a direct role in certain diseases. Antioxidants stop the chain reaction by cleansing the body of free radicals, either killing them in the process or rendering them inactive. Furthermore, epigallocatechin gallate, abbreviated as EGCG, is a catechin not found in black tea that removes unwanted plaques and debris formation in the body.
Further Studies
Green tea continues to attract researches across the globe, but there is conclusive evidence for some of its purported health benefits to human beings. First, people who include a steady intake of green tea in addition to a healthy diet are noted to show 26 per cent lower risk of cardiovascular diseases as opposed to people with less than a cup of daily green tea consumption. Second, it is recently concluded that there is a link between green tea ingestion and low incidence of cognitive impairment. Third, continued consumption of the catechins found in green tea contributes to decreasing amount of body fat.
Green Tea in capsule, tablet, bulk powder, or tea bag form is available at your local or internet vitamin store.

Article Title: Did You Know That L-Theanine Can Help With Mental Fatigue?

The health benefits of tea seem never-ending. Studies in connection with its purported roles in treating just anything are well underway, including the discovery of the polyphenolic antioxidant catechin. In the past few years it has also been associated with L-theanine widely known to reduce both physical and mental fatigue. Having been granted the status GRAS, generally recognized as safe, by the US Food and Drug Administration, L-theanine is now commercially touted as a therapeutic agent for stress-related illnesses with no adverse effects even in extremely high dosages largely owing to the fact that it has adaptogenic properties, which translates to warding off degradation at the cellular level and repairing damaged cells.
Tea and L-Theanine
Tea is a universal non-alcohol beverage with an unrivalled history of consumption encompassing a multitude of cultures. The name itself has transcended significant vernacular changes, having derivatives that sound noticeably similar to the Chinese "te" or "cha". It is a link to a number of cultural ties among nations nowadays, even evolving into local practices, such as the Japanese tea ceremony and the British tea culture. Its health benefits also date back to its antiquity and have been rediscovered throughout the centuries, explaining tea's overwhelming presence up to now. When antioxidants became a popular subject in the twentieth century, tea was revealed to be a natural source of polyphenols. In addition, L-theanine was identified as a substance naturally occurring in tea.
GABA
L-theanine has an effect on the production of the amino acid called gamma-aminobutyric acid, more commonly known as GABA, which is at the same time a neurotransmitter directly connected to the supervision of muscle contractions. Low levels of GABA have been tied to lesions in the upper motor neurons, contributing to a reduction in the neural activities that influence muscles to produce the desired force outputs, in other words muscle fatigue. One of the causes of mental fatigue is related to neurocognitive deficits in the brain, pointing to insufficient releases of neurotransmitters, like GABA, implicated in processes involved in every action the human body engages in. This is the reason why the increased production of GABA due to L-theanine intake leads to relaxing, anti-anxiety effects.
Dopamine
One neurotransmitter also known to be involved in mental fatigue is dopamine. Dopamine influences the processes that mobilize other substances in the body and coordinate their interrelated functions under stress. These processes slow down as we engage in the same kinds of activities for long periods of time, causing what we experience as mental fatigue. Since we feel stressed out we do not work as fast as we used to due to the mistakes we make, let alone meet the desired levels of productivity. Chronic fatigue syndrome results from the continuing decrease in dopamine levels among others. There is strong evidence that L-theanine restores the required dopamine levels in the brain, reversing the effects of mental fatigue.
Natural Mood elevating herbs like dopabean, Gaba, and L-theanine are available in capsule and tablet form at your local or internet health food store. Always choose name brands when buying herbs to ensure quality and purity of the product you purchase for consumption.
