NAC Helps Treat Supplement Induced Liver Toxicity

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact NAC helps treat supplement induced liver toxicity Category: Nutritional Articles NAC (N-ACETYLCYSTEINE OR ACETYLCYSTEINE) is an amino acid by-product found naturally in food that fight free radicals that also improves metabolic health. Physicians often use it to break up mucus accumulation in the lungs in conditions such as emphysema, pneumonia, bronchitis and tuberculosis. It is also used to treat liver toxicity triggered by overdose of acetaminophen – the most common cause of poisoning in the United States. NAC works together with glutathione to help rid the body of toxic chemicals. A case study by physicians from the Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas showed that bodybuilder suffering from supplement – induced liver injury from a product called Friction was successfully treated with NAC. Liver toxicity is relatively common because of the overuse of acetaminophen. NAC is an effective supplement for suspected drug-induced liver toxicity.

Higher nut consumption was linked to a reduced rate of death from all causes and from cardiovascular disease, in a sample of more than 200,000 people of low-socioeconomic status. The results were consistent for blacks, whites and Asians. Peanuts were the most prevalent form of nut consumption. Easting more peanuts might be a cost-effective way of improving cardiovascular health in various socioeconomic groups. Don’t worry about the high calorie content of nuts – eaters are generally leaner. (Journal American Medical Association Internal Medicine, published online March 2, 2015) O.L.S.

Fish Consumption Linked To Lower Blood Pressure

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact fish consumption linked to lower blood pressure Category: Nutritional Articles Each serving of fish consumed per week reduces blood pressure by 2,3 points (mmHg)-according to researchers from Ecuador and the United States. They studied 677 people living rural coastal areas of Ecuador. Blood pressure decreased progressively with up to five servings of fish per week. Consuming six or more servings had no further effect on blood pressure. The U.S.A. Department of Agriculture recommends one or two servings of fish per week. This study showed that increasing fish intake above these levels might have added cardiovascular benefits. The study did not examine the effects of fish oil supplements. Other studies found that fish oil is good for the heart and circulation. (Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 18:337-341, 2016) O.L.S.

Inadequate Selenium Consumption Linked To Prostate Cancer

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact inadequate selenium consumption linked to prostate cancer Category: Nutritional Articles Selenium is a trace mineral that some scientists believe has cancer-protective effects. A study from the Danish Cancer Society Research Centre of more than 27,000 men found no relationship between blood levels of selenium and prostate cancer. However, markers of severe prostate disease were higher in selenium-deficient men. In men with diagnosed prostate cancer, higher selenium levels reduced the overall risk of death from the disease. Taking selenium supplements, however, could be dangerous. Researchers from the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD found that heavy vitamin use (greater than seven times per week) or taking specific supplements such as zinc, beta-carotene and selenium increased risk of the disease by 7% to 300%.

DHA Reduces Muscle Inflammation After Intense Training

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact DHA reduces muscle inflammation after intense training Category: Nutritional Articles Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is a structural part of the brain, skin, sperm, testicles and eyes. Fish oil is the most significant dietary source of DHA. Many studies suggest that DHA reduces inflammation and the risk of heart disease. Spanish researchers found that supplementing DHA (1.6 grams per day for 8 weeks) reduced blood markers of inflammation and promoted muscle blood flow in soccer players. DHA reduced whole-body inflammation in intensely training soccer players. Some inflammation is essential to fitness adaptations, so the practical implications of this study are unknown.

The same is true of fat cells. Spanish researchers found greater activity in genes responsible for fat breakdown following a diet high in monounsaturated fatty acids. Typical foods include olive oil, canola oil, nuts and avocados. Other diets studied included high saturated fat diets, low-fat, high complex carbohydrate diets and placebo diet (mixed diet). The study showed that the fat composition of diets could influence the activity of fat cells. (European Journal of Nutrition, published online March 30, 2016) O.L.S.

Liver Toxicity Update Of Green Tea Capsules

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Liver Toxicity Update Of Green Tea Capsules Category: Nutritional Articles By Daniel Gwartney, MD The FDA actions against ephedrine-containing supplements and over-the-counter products, including the herbal products, because there was a scramble to find effective weight-loss ingredients after the ban of ephedrine. Among the parade of ingredients touted to promote fat loss via mechanism or another was green tea extract (GTE), and its primary active ingredient, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). Studies utilizing EGCG combined with caffeine reported statistically significant weight loss, though the numbers paled in comparison to the much more potent ephedrine and caffeine combinations. By itself, EGCG is not effective for increasing weight loss. Interestingly, a person appears to be more likely to experience weight-loss benefits if not a habitual high caffeine consumer (e.g. coffee, energy drinks) and is of Asian descent rather than Caucasian. Nonetheless, the additional loss of a pound or three is a benefit worth the relatively low cost and inconvenience of capsules a day to many people. At least, it is as long as there are no associated health risks. Among the many weight –loss drugs and supplements that were pulled due to reported adverse effects (including deaths) in the last decade or so were a number that contained EGCG. Numerous people suffered liver damage, with some requiring a liver transplant, and at least once death was attributed to the products. However, over time, other (and prior) studies looking at the potential liver toxicity of EGCG were published. To this day, new reports are emerging that describe mechanism or conditions involved in possible liver damage, as well as continuing cases of “drug-induced liver injury” occurring in people using EGCG containing products. Ironically, EGCG is also hepatic—protective (reduces or prevents liver injury) in the presence of certain drugs and metals, so the biochemistry of EGCG remains in a relative infancy. As it stands, there are many suggestions supporting the idea that consumption of a great amount of (GTE) can induce hepatocellular toxicity (liver damage), and that certain common drugs and supplements may exacerbate this. In fact, in the presence of other “toxins” EGCG may promote cellular damage at a lower concentration. Of course, the risk of “drug-induced liver injury” from an herbal product is not limited to (GTE). In fact, a recent review identified at least 65 herbs with suspected hepatotoxicity risk. Given the low potency of (GTE) on weight loss, the limited benefit does not appear to be worth the risk. Most population-based studies showing lower (BMI), better health or longevity in association with green tea consumption relate to its customary consumption as a beverage, wherein the exposure to the active components happens slowly and over the course of the day. Rapid, sharp spikes in EGCG and other components may be “unnatural “in its presentation to the liver cells, resulting in strain and signs of damage in the presence of other “toxins”. Given the continuity of adverse event reports, and the dependence on multi-ingredient products for a weight-loss effect, it is difficult to support the use of (GTE) for weight loss at this time. Those who do wish to use (GTE) should consider that it appears to have little weight-loss benefit without the support of caffeine, and appears to do little more than caffeine alone. Avoiding products with numerous ingredients may reduce the risk of “drug” interactions leading to liver toxicity. Phung OJ, Baker WL, et al.

Filter Coffee Helps Promote Blood Sugar Regulation

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Filter Coffee Helps Promote Blood Sugar Regulation Category: Nutritional Articles Large population studies have found that coffee drinking promotes blood sugar regulation and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. Some scientists have speculated that chemicals in coffee called chlorogenic acids help regulate blood sugar levels. A study from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that coffee drinking improved blood sugar control, but found no difference between light and dark roast coffee. Dark roast is higher in chlorogenic acids. Regular coffee drinking is a good way to promote blood sugar regulation and prevent type 2 diabetes. It doesn’t seem to matter which kind of coffee you drink.
