Turmeric and Skin Cancer - Find Out What the...
In a recent study concerning turmeric and skin cancer, as well as a few other plants in the ginger family, researchers determined that the plant extracts act by inhibiting oxidative stress and improving antioxidant defenses, which "might" be why the extracts protect against UVA associated melanoma. Other studies have shown that there is a protective effect, but the mechanism of action is, as yet, unclear. When researchers are investigating the benefits of drugs and natural compounds, they usually try to explain "how" it works. Although in the case of many drugs on the market, including popular antidepressants, researchers were never able to explain how the drugs worked, only that the drugs were more...

You have to be energetic and vital. To accomplish this, I believe in five daily disciplines I refer to as The NEWSS: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sleep, and Supplements.

What's All the Fuss About Green Lipped Mussels?
Green lipped mussels and their extract are only available from a limited number of New Zealand marine farm operations.

As more and more individuals begin to practice preventative healthcare, most start with supplements to either address a concern or issue or to supplement their diet to fill nutritional gaps. When taking this first step there are a lot of questions and decisions to make given the variety on the market. Unfortunately the price tag ranges a great deal as well and is not always indicative of quality. Though you can purchase great supplements for a reasonable cost, a vast amount of cheap vitamins are so because they use cheap raw materials.

Food supplement regulation and the reasons for it are a vital area of knowledge for nutraceutical companies to understand and follow if they want to remain compliant in all aspects of their business.

The actual legality of ephedra weight loss products has flip-flopped causing consumers interested in obtaining ephedra diet pills to be at the mercy of marketers. Some marketers were telling consumers ephedra products were illegal and then pushed another "ephedra-like" product with promises of results "just like ephedra based diet pills". The reason for the confusion stems back to the year 2004 when the FDA declared ephedra used in products for weight loss, energy, etc. to be considered adulterated, harmful to the public and illegal to sell. Early in 2005 a company by the name of Nutraceutical Corporation challenged the legality of the ban and a Utah judge ruled in favor of Nutraceutical Corporation...
Copyright (c) 2010 Kenneth Lee The health benefits of drinking water is something you cannot take for granted since the natural water is the source of your health and longevity. Without water, the body would stop working properly. Water makes up 75 percent of the body weight and a person can't survive for more than a few days without it. For example, your blood, which contains a lot of water, carries oxygen to all the cells of your body. Without oxygen, those tiny cells would die and your body would simply stop working. The body's cells are affected by genetic programming and sufficient quantities of water and oxygen. Each cell must be nourished by oxygen and water, when either water or oxygen is...
Why GMP Compliance Needs Consideration
To enable industries like the nutraceutical, medical device, food and pharmaceutical industries to remain safe, GMP compliance is necessary for all companies to adhere.

If The Best Food Supplements Are...
exactly are glyconutritionals? Glyconutrients are, simply put, food. They are nutrients that we don't get in today's diet because we no longer forage for our food off the land and, therefore, we don't access these sugars which are available from plant roots and fungus, for example. The glyconutrient complex is a proprietary blend of plant-derived sugars that are available in powder or capsule form. Do glyconutrients have side effects? Because these are just food, they've not been found to have side effects or to interact with pharmaceuticals or herbal products -- kind of like eating broccoli. In fact, a physician friend of mine is a last resort for children who have birth defects and childhood...

Omega 3 From Cranberries - Where and Why
Cranberries are native to North America and grow in acid peat bogs. American cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) are perennial evergreen plants with flowering bud at the end of their upright branches. The fruit has historically been consumed whole or pressed for juice. The pulp has gone to waste until it was discovered it was rich in antioxidants. Heat can destroy some of the antioxidants, and consumption of the raw product is not practical; given the harsh taste of the prime ingredient quinnic acid. Omega 3 from cranberries is present, to a lesser extent, in dried cranberries. However, the most practical method for capturing the beneficial aspects of the fruit is the processing of the oil. The pulp...

Learn About Omega 3 Anxiety Studies
Let's face it. There have been a number of omega 3 anxiety disorder studies. In one of the recent ones, researchers concluded that clinical trials concerning the benefit of supplementation were justified. They had noted that low blood levels of omega-3s seemed to accompany the disorders and that supplementation was beneficial in reducing or relieving symptoms in some of their patients. But, they felt that more study was needed before making a "blanket" recommendation. Researchers have been discussing the benefits of increased omega-3 intake for psychological disorders of all kinds for decades. Sometimes, it seems that no one is listening. Again and again, they say more research is needed or further...

10 Ways to Beat the After-Christmas Blues
Christmas is an emotional storm, and next comes Valentine's, so take a break. Move from emotion to thinking and action. 1. Start planning a Valentine's Party, or Martin Luther King Party. If you were running a day late and a dollar behind for Christmas, learn from it. Budget and start sooner, but have the fun of another "party" on the horizon.

In India and the Far East, their ancient medical culture prefers natural, herbal remedies to treat major degenerative illnesses, such as Type 2 diabetes. With over 5,000 years of experience in healing disease with wild-growing, naturally occurring vegetable or fruit derived solutions, East Indians have a greater knowledge and acceptance of natural remedies, and a reluctance to use synthetic, prescription drugs. Product recalls of diabetes pharmaceutical products, such as Avandia, are causing more and more U.S. diabetics to seek out alternative remedies from holistic providers, instead braving the side effects of the medicine of their more traditional Western doctors. From Indian perspective, one of...

While exercise does help to stimulate healthy functions required to maintain joint health, exercise performed the wrong way could do more harm than good, experts say.

No Pain No Gain: Not True!
Many people believe in the “no pain, no gain” theory when it comes to their workouts. Believing that pain means progress, they continue to work out intensely despite pain and discomfort. There are others who say that continuing your exercise routine in an effort to toughen the body, may not be a smart thing to do. Is it really true? No pain, no gain? In relationship to fitness training, this phrase first originated in the early 1980s. Since then, people have adopted the idea that in order to gain any benefit from their fitness exercise program, it needs to hurt and perhaps even hurt badly. This is farthest from the truth. In fact, if you experience pain after your exercise routine and still...
Joint Deterioration Starts Early-Tips to...
An oldinjury to the joint, could come back to bother you later in life. Once a joint is injured or fractured it can become a weak link. Ever notice how an old injury or even a previous hairline fracture to a joint can begin to ache in cold weather or on a rainy day?

The anti-aging industry constantly brings a new 'magic' ingredient to their products that are proclaimed to reduce wrinkles. It is difficult to understand the reason for this continuous search for new ingredients.

The beauty industry is not very keen on using a common herb, even if it has been proven by thousands of years of trials. The multinational companies want...
