As a user of olive leaf (OL), what are the olive leaf side effects that you need to watch out for? The good news is that they are not many and with prudence and care, one may still enjoy the benefits of this wonderful remedy. One of the benefits of OL is its ability to dilate the blood vessels and hence lower the blood pressure. This is useful in cases of hypertension.

The secrets to healthy looking skin may surprise you. They aren't much different from those things that keep the inside of your body in good health. We tend to forget that the skin is an organ of the body. It is a complex organ, because of its natural rejuvenating powers and because of all of the functions it performs. It is the organ that protects the inside of the body from the elements and holds everything together. It is responsible for producing the body's vitamin D. It has pigment producing cells that cause a tan. It has stem cells that produce new cells on a daily basis. It contains elastic collagen fibers and various proteins, as well as a compound called hyaluronic acid. If the skin's...

How we as a species thrived during in the early days of our existence is quite simple however, as thousands of years leave this era of Man Kind behind the significance of that simple way of life has begun to surface. Non-existent back then were the synthetic properties of food, juices, plant foods and meats. Yet we survived and thrived without the drug store and its thousands of simulated therapeutic and medicinal concoctions. Nonetheless, modern society has fallen victim to the saturating of commercialism and its endless array of quick fix remedies and medicines. And ironically, many of these products offer limited results. Thus, we are poised to further our search for that magical remedy that...

If one intends to take any supplement, it is prudent to inquire what the amount is going to be. Hence it is useful to find out if there is a recommended daily curcumin dosage. However because it is not considered an essential nutrient, there is no specific daily curcumin dosage. Nevertheless, there are some guides that one can use based on common sense and bioavailability. The usual daily dosage when taken as a single supplement is usually set at 400 to 600mg. Exceeding 600mg per day would therefore not be recommended and in any case taking very high doses has negative side effects. There are two important considerations when considering curcumin dosage. One is bioavailability and the other is its...

Collagen is the natural ingredient that keeps your skin looking firm but it's production decreases as you age. Nutraceuticals deliver the essential nutrients to skin tissues to naturally rebuild, maintain and repair your own collagen. In time the skin loses collagen from free radical action, sub-clinical inflammation, oxygen loss, degeneration, and micro scarring. Collagen production is boosted by palmitoyl oligopeptide in order to minimize fine lines and plump the lips for a full, youthful appearance. Vitamin E provides exceptional antioxidant protection against the elements, helping to prevent further assault. Collagen and keratin leave a protein film and temporarily stretch the skin. They range...

The United States functional foods market is relatively immature compared to that of nutraceuticals. From an intellectual property standpoint, this may be because functional food technology develops from within the food industry, while nutraceuticals may come as the result of convergence between the food industry and industries with greater IP acumen. Historically, food technology is not an area of frequent patenting relative to other technologies such as formulation science that impacts the nutraceutical and functional food markets. While patenting of food technologies has risen in recent years, most of the filings are classified more like medicines and usually cover processes such as extraction or...

Does lying down worsens tinnitus? Actually a lot of sufferers claimed that lying down does not cause tinnitus to get worse. Rather, being in a relaxed and easy state, such as during bedtime or taking short nap, can amplify the buzzing, ringing, or whizzing sound from within your head for it is the time when your mind is not "busy" enough for tinnitus to get unnoticed. Sufferers noticed that during the day when they are on their regular routines their tinnitus doesn't seem to bother them or it's as if it wasn't there at all. But when the time comes for them to rest at night the "phantom" sound dominates their mind again. In other words, in quieter times there are no other sounds to distract you from...

It's time for the 3rd ingredient in the "Stress Less for Poker Success" formula. After this one, only two more ingredients to go before you have the perfect formula for a stress free life. Ah, you can almost feel the relief already. Before I dive into the third ingredient, I just want to give you a quick recap on the first two ingredients. Personally, I use Rhodiola rosea only during times of intense stress. I'll typically begin using it two to three days before the expected stress and continue using it 3-5 days after it has ended. It probably has one of the largest amounts of clinical evidence supporting its benefits in terms of nutraceuticals. In my opinion, it's an excellent, well-studied...

So is it still possible to retire at that magical age of 65, or is that doomed to be just one more fairy tale told by our parents? Well, if you are an average American stuck working a normal nine-to-five, your chances are pretty bleak. However, if you're one of the thousands of Americans who have started selling nutraceuticals, business is booming What is nutraceutical sales you ask? Is it, like, some sort of voodoo pharmaceutical sales? Nope. "Nutraceuticals" is just a fancy way of saying vitamin and mineral supplements It used...

There are so many male enhancement scams out there today that it's often hard to determine if a product you come across is legitimate or in fact a rip-off. I can tell you this from first-hand experience. Over the passed two years I have tried literally dozens of male enhancement products and to be honest with you, most of them didn't work. One of the products that I saw absolutely no results from was a product called Enzyte, and I recently found out that Steve Warshak, the man behind the product has been convicted of fraud, misleading customers, and lying to banks. He could face up to twenty years in prison. You read stories like the one I just mentioned above and it may make you wonder if a male...

Organo Gold derives its name from the organically grown Ganoderma mushroom.

So let's start with a brief explanation. Nutraceuticals are simply nutrients with pharmaceutical activity. Some are taken by mouth in the form of dietary supplements. Others are applied directly to the skin. Research and development teams have tried for years to make products that would nourish the skin's outer layers. Their main problem had to do with absorption. Only small molecules will penetrate through the skin's surface. Protein has long been known as a necessary ingredient for rebuilding new skin cells...

Saw Palmetto & Hair Loss, A Novel Use Of An Intriguing Botanically Derived Ingredient. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), commonly called pattern hair loss shares a striking degree of hormonal factors with other diseases including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Over several decades, multiple European research studies have examined the use of saw palmetto in the setting of BPH. Until recently however, saw palmetto was not considered as a tool against hair loss. There are several reasons for this disparity. To begin, a definitive biochemical connection between BPH and AGA was not fully worked out until quite recently. Also, inasmuch as saw palmetto is available in a number of forms and...

Olive leaf extract (OLE) is a concentration of olive leaves. As such it is not a single compound but a mixture of a range of substances of which the most common and active ingredient is oleuropein. It is therefore not usual to talk about a recommended dosage of olive leaf extract firstly because it is not a single substance and secondly because it is not an essential nutrient. Reputable providers of OLE will indicate the amount that is contained in each pill or capsule. So for example a daily dose may have 50mg of OLE. Another important consideration is the amount of oleuropein in the product commonly expressed as a percentage. Good products will have up to 20% oleuropein. When taking any substance...

Kevin: I wonder when you said that, that when you treat these things externally with any sort of therapy or any sort of medication you're not dealing with a nutritional imbalance.

AMGeneX DNA is a new superfood product manufactured by Amega Global. It comes in sachets and you mix it in with a drink, eg water or juice. The product is infused with Amega's proprietary Amized Fusion Technology which charges it with zero point energy, thus enabling your body to be infused with high levels of life force energy. The product is said to be the world's first Epigenetic product. This fairly new term in nutritional-based science is to do with the interaction of food compounds with the DNA inside the body's cells. It seems that what was once believed to be the case – that our DNA was hard wired and couldn't be changed – is not actually true. It appears that our DNS can be re-shaped...

All vitamin supplements available in the market are not the same in terms of quality. Three basic types are available: tablets, capsules, and liquid form. Tablets are the most common, formed by mixing organic or inorganic binders and compressed into tablet form. They have poor absorption rate, often less than 30%. The absorption also depends on the quality of binders used. High-quality vitamin supplements use expensive organic binders, which makes their nutrients get absorbed in the upper intestinal walls straight into the blood stream. Liquid vitamin supplements, claimed to have high-absorption rates, are available in a wide range of flavors. However, the claim that these are capable of effecting...

Joint pain sufferers usually don't want to exercise due to fear that any kind of intensive physical exercise may lead to more pain. Many medical professionals believe that being sedentary because of painful joints may actually do more harm than good for joint health. Resting your joints can take you further away from your goal for muscle and joint relief. If you have suffered a joint injury, or believe you have you should always consult your doctor before beginning an exercise program. If...

Anti-aging health has become so trendy, even teenagers worry about anti-wrinkle cures and wonder about the latest 'secret' lotions and potions. Back when I became interested in this so called anti-aging movement, it was simply known as 'prevention'. I remember reading 'Prevention' magazine with fascinating interest, the whole time thinking it was all about going back to basics stuff, the typical you are what you-eat, kind- of- concept. The magazine would feature articles about the direct...

Some of us don't even need the weatherman to tell us that rain is on its way. Sensitive to wet climate, those who suffer from joint discomfort may be able to better forecast precipitation than the typical weather report! This year, in stark contrast to the usual dry summer heat, parts of America have received an unusual number of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. If you suffer from painful joints, a damp climate may cause joints to flare up and make the weather even more difficult to endure. Some of us may not be able to report to work due to joint discomfort and find ourselves at home, on a rainy day, nursing our joints back to good health. But for many of us, work cannot be avoided. Trips to the...

The human body is unique, the most cfomplex organism in the world and every aspect of the body down to the tiniest microscopic cell reveals that the human body is fearfully and wonderfully made. The human body has 206 bones and there are 230 moveable and semi-moveable joints in the body. Joints are structures where two bones meet. When joints are healthy they hold the bones together and allow the rigid skeleton to move easily. Joints may be synovial (with a cavity) or fibrous. Fibrous Joints Fibrous joints lack synovium and synovial fluid. Bones in the joints are covered by cartilage which is an open spongy network of calcified collagen in a tough outer shell. The bone can withstand thrust forces...

When given to genetically engineered rats that would develop brain lesions similar to Alzheimer's the mice that ate food laced with curcumin were 43% less likely to develop the disease. It was also noted that due to the immense...

Given the increasing popularity of organic foods and the rising concern about products genetically modified organisms, it is not surprising to see a line of skin care products created with totally natural ingredients. Such is the case of the Manuka products from Manu Nutraceuticals in New Zealand. Their primary active ingredient comes from the New Zealand Tea Tree (Leptospermum scoparium) a bush known locally as the Manuka plant. The aboriginal Maori people of New Zealand, who have lived in the area for perhaps 1000 years, recognized that the Manuka tea tree plant could be used for its therapeutic and healing properties. For example, they used the leaves and back of the Manuka bush to treat colds...

Curcumin research is a topic of study that many scientists from around the world are becoming involved in. It seems that many clinical studies that are being done today are concentrating on working with nutraceuticals. Effective ancient medicine Western scientists seem to be taking seriously the fact that plants have the answers to treating and preventing many diseases and although these clinical studies are undertaken in the hope of being able to produce synthetic drugs that behave in a similar way there is still no doubt that the results of some of these findings give an indication why ancient forms of medicine such as the Chinese and Indian (Ayurvedic) have been so effective in treating...
