CeraVe Skincare

Nowadays not only women, but men also are becoming very cautious about their appearance. Taking care of you is a very good thing. It casts very good impression on the people you meet. The main part that people notice when meeting each other is the face. A face with acne and other skin problems is not good to greet someone. So taking care of the face skin is very important and also requires some of your time.

The CeraVe Skincare line includes three elegant, yet affordable formulations, making it an ideal choice for your daily skincare regimen. CeraVe was developed by dermatologists and uses a patented formulation that provides a protective barrier on the skin's surface. This special formulation, called Multivesicular Emulsion, ensures the moisturizer will be time released throughout the day for complete day hydration. CeraVe also uses Ceramides which help retain water in the skin. This is especially good for those with extremely dry skin or skin that dries out half way through the day. One application will last the entire day long.

CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
It provides gentle, effective cleansing while it restores and enhances the skin barrier. The goal of effective cleansing is to loosen and remove dirt, germs, excess oils, dead cells, cosmetics and medication residues without irritating the skin or drawing away needed moisture. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser gently cleanses the skin while helping to maintain the right moisture balance. It is proven to prevent moisture from escaping (evaporating) from the skin's surface. Its fragrance-free, moisturizing formulation is non-irritating and noncomedogenic (does not cause pimples or acne by clogging the pores). The unique ingredients in CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser help restore and maintain the natural protective function of the skin, help restore damaged skin and help keep skin healthy.

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion
It provides all-day moisturization with a single application and is clinically proven to increase skin hydration. It is uniquely formulated to increase the skin's ability to attract, hold and distribute moisture. It penetrates deeply into the stratum corneum (the skin barrier) to restore the balance of essential lipids. This helps keep the skin barrier intact so it can protect against outside irritants. CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion also forms a protective layer over the skin's surface to help prevent moisture loss. It spreads easily and smoothly, absorbs rapidly, and never feels greasy. It is ideal for larger areas of the body. It is fragrance free, so those sensitive to fragrance in their skin care products can try with ease.

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion is great for just about anyone, but especially great for those of you with extremely dry skin. It contains ceramides, which are naturally occurring components of the skin. These help repair and protect your skin's moisture barrier, healing even the driest of skin. Those of you who suffer or have children who suffer with eczema will find relief with CeraVe, as it is often recommended by dermatologists as an over-the-counter relief product.

Applying once a day is all your skin will need for 24-hour protection. (Applying right after the shower or bath is best.) The cream soaks in quickly, leaving a matte finish on your skin. It's never greasy or oily, as some thick creams tend to be.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
It provides all-day moisturization with a single application and is clinically proven to increase skin hydration. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream increases the skin's ability to attract, hold and distribute moisture. It penetrates deeply into the layers of the stratum corneum (the skin barrier) to restore the balance of lipids that are essential for an effective skin barrier. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream also forms a protective layer over the skin's surface to help prevent moisture loss. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream spreads easily and smoothly, absorbs rapidly, and never feels greasy. It is ideal for drier areas of the body including elbows, knees, and heels.

Ordinary moisturizing creams need to be applied frequently because the ingredients are released in a single "burst" and absorbed in a short period of time. Like all CeraVe Skincare products, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream offers the benefits of unique, patented MVE delivery technology, which provides a controlled release of essential ceramides and other skin-nurturing and protective ingredients slowly over time. It penetrates deeply into the skin to moisturize and nourish skin throughout the day while "locking in" precious moisture. The unique ingredients in CeraVe Moisturizing Cream help restore and maintain the natural protective function of the skin barrier, help restore damaged skin, and help keep skin healthy.

But before buying any skincare products, certain things need to be considered. Moisturizer creams are easily available on all superstores, pharmacies and departmental stores. The main problem that people face is which cream to buy from a heap of branded creams. Following are some useful tips to help you make a decision.

Read the ingredients
The quality of the moisturizing cream does not solely depend upon the brand name. The ingredients play the main role in determining the cream’s effectiveness. The cream must be including natural ingredients like cucumber, aloe, chamomile and anti-oxidants more than the artificial chemicals. The fragrance based on alcohol should not be present in the cream. Such chemicals not only cause allergic reaction but also damage the skin in long run.

Identify you skin type
First know what your skin type is as it will help you in choosing the right kind of cream. Moisturizers for sensitive skin contain ingredients that cure the problems of sensitive skins. Specialized creams are also available for oily and very dry skin types.

Read online reviews or ask someone else
Look among your friends and relatives and ask one who has same skin as yours what moisturizer he/she is using. A referral from a person who has used a cream will save you from hassle. Online reviews by the users of specific creams are also of help as the users identify all the pros and cons of the product they use in the reviews.

Consult a skin expert
If you have harsh and permanent skin problems then you should first consult a skin doctor. He will identify the problem and prescribe you the right cream. Sometimes the cause of skin problem is internal not external. In such case this cannot be cured permanently with creams. This can only be identified by the doctor and he will suggest you right treatment.

ChildLife Essential Health Supplements for Children

Fast foods, junk foods, processed foods, poor dietary habits, and the finicky appetites of many children also require nutritional supplementation to correct, and balance nutritional deficiencies. The extraordinary increase in exposure to environmental pollutants and toxicity from this century’s industrial pursuits creates the need for extra immune and anti-oxidant protection for today’s children. A child who does not receive enough of all the essential vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids will be much more prone to a wide variety of illnesses.

ChildLife line of nutritional supplements helps to increase awareness about these deficiencies and their consequences, and to provide all the necessary ingredients in a great tasting and readily available form.

Foremost among ChildLife innovations are the two supplement programs developed to support children's needs. The Daily Maintenance Group provides a foundation of the essential nutrients needed on a daily basis for growth and healthy development. The Extra Support Group stimulates natural immune response and defends the body. To be used during cold and flu season and also periodically to increase natural defense protection.

MiraLAX laxative. Natural, gentle constipation relief

Although you may be one of the millions of Americans uncomfortable with discussing constipation, the truth is it's a very common gastrointestinal complaint. It affects 1 in 4 adults each year - which adds up to more than 65 million Americans. To help put that number into perspective, as many people suffer from constipation each year as suffer from heartburn. While this gastrointestinal issue can affect anyone, women are twice as likely as men to experience constipation, and it's more frequent among adults age 65 and older.

What is Constipation?
Constipation refers to bowel movements that are infrequent or hard to pass. Constipation or irregularity occurs when your bowel movements become difficult or when they happen less frequently than normal. It can throw off your daily routine.

What's normal? It depends on the individual. Normal can range from a bowel movement three times a day to three times a week. Normal stools are soft and formed, and passed without straining.

Symptoms of Constipation May Include:
• Abdominal discomfort
• Fatigue
• Gas
• Achiness
• Bloating
• Irritability
• Straining
• Lack of energy

Causes Of Constipation
The causes of constipation can be as diverse as the people who suffer from it. A digestive system that isn't functioning properly does not necessarily signal unhealthy habits or lifestyle, but some bad habits could contribute to the causes of constipation. Some common causes of constipation include lack of exercise, diet, stress, travel, or any other changes in your daily routine that can affect your digestive system. Sometimes constipation can be caused simply by a slower digestive system. In today's 24-hour world, some causes of constipation can be difficult to avoid. With a busy schedule, it is easy to resist the urge to go to the bathroom. Sometimes you miss the opportunity entirely. The unfortunate result: postponing a bowel movement may actually contribute to irregularity. Some medical conditions as well as various medications and some nutritional supplements can also contribute to constipation.

Constipation is usually caused by a disorder of bowel function rather than a structural problem. Common causes of constipation include:
• Inadequate water intake
• Inadequate fiber in the diet
• A disruption of regular diet or routine; traveling
• Inadequate activity or exercise or immobility
• Eating large amounts of dairy products
• Stress
• Resisting the urge to have a bowel movement, which is sometimes the result of pain from hemorrhoids
• Overuse of laxatives (stool softeners) which, over time, weaken the bowel muscles
• Hypothyroidism
• Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis
• Antacid medicines containing calcium or aluminum
• Medicines (especially strong pain medicines, such as narcotics, antidepressants, or iron pills)
• Depression
• Eating disorders
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Pregnancy
• Colon cancer

Treating Constipation
Treating Constipation Starts with Identifying the Problem. Identifying and targeting the symptoms of constipation are important first steps. Inactive or sluggish bowel function is just one symptom. Selecting the right laxative for you can ease your constipation, helping you get back to your daily routine.
Selecting the Laxative That's Right for You.

There's a range of laxatives available over the counter - each works differently to relieve constipation.
• Osmotic laxatives gently draw water back to the digestive tract, replacing lost water, enabling a normal, complete bowel movement. Through this process, MiraLAX, an osmotic laxative, relieves constipation and softens stool, with no harsh side effects.
• Bulk-forming (fiber) laxatives add psyllium (insoluble) fiber to the stool. These can be used to supplement the fiber in your diet. However, they can sometimes ferment and cause gas.
• Stimulant laxatives activate the walls of the intestine, causing the muscles to contract and clear the bowel. They work quickly, but can sometimes cause cramps.
• Lubricants, such as mineral oil, coat the walls of the intestine so that stool can pass through more easily. They can sometimes interfere with vitamin and nutrient absorption.
• Saline laxatives work by pulling water into the intestine. These laxatives can remove electrolytes.

Why MiraLAX?
Relief from constipation that works naturally with your body. You know when your system is thrown out of balance by constipation. When your digestive tract isn't running smoothly, it can throw off your whole day. Nothing works better than MiraLAX laxative to relieve constipation and soften stool with no harsh side effects, so you can get on with your day.

Why MiraLAX is The One
• Relieves constipation and softens stool
• No bloating, no cramping, no gas
• No sudden urgency, so you're in control
• The #1 recommended laxative by doctors, pharmacists, and gastroenterologists
• The #1 brand used in hospitals

MiraLAX powder dissolves easily in water and other liquids, with no taste or grit. And MiraLAX is available without a prescription.

How MiraLAX works?
Water is vital to your body for healthy living, and to help your digestive system stay regular. Constipation may occur when stool moves slowly through the colon, which could allow too much water to be removed. This can make the stool hard, dry, and difficult to pass.

MiraLAX contains Polyethylene Glycol 3350, which is a completely different way to treat constipation. It works by gently replenishing the water to your digestive system, which helps naturally cause a bowel movement. This water both increases the frequency of bowel movements and softens the stool, making it easier to pass. Nothing works better than MiraLAX laxative to relieve constipation and soften stool with no harsh side effects.

• No sudden urgency
• No cramping
• No bloating
• No gas

So, if your current laxative isn't providing relief without harsh side effects, it's time to experience the MiraLAX difference.

MiraLAX laxative comes in four sizes to suit your needs. 7, 14 and 30 dose bottles each have a convenient single 17g dose measuring cap. And MiraLAX also comes in a pack of 10 pre-measured, single-dose packets, so you can take MiraLAX with you anytime, anywhere. MiraLAX is gluten and sugar free. It easily dissolves completely in four to eight ounces of water, fruit juice, or any other beverage. There's no taste, no grit - just gentle, predictable relief from constipation with no harsh side effects:
• No bloating
• No sudden urgency
• No cramping
• No gas

Benefits of Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is more than a lifestyle choice - it is the ideal way to nurture both your baby and yourself. The first few weeks can be challenging, and sometimes new mothers give up before they, and their babies, can experience the benefits. Knowing the breastfeeding benefits can keep you motivated and increase your chances of success.

Benefits for Baby

Perfect Food:
• Breastmilk is more easily digested and provides the essential nutrients, vitamins, proteins, fats and antibodies, in just the right proportions that the baby needs to develop physically and neurologically. Breastfeeding may reduce your child's risk of obesity and uterine cancer in women who breastfeed.
• Breastmilk will also change its composition to meet your baby's needs as they get older or if your baby is sick.
• Breastmilk is made of live cells and is easily absorbed by your baby.

Healthy Baby:
• Breastfed babies are healthier! They get sick less and have a lower risk of allergies.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states in its 2005 Policy Statement on Breastfeeding that "breastfeeding ensures the best possible health as well as the best developmental and psychosocial outcomes for the infant."
• Breastfed babies have a lower incidence of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
• Breastfed babies have a reduced risk for ear infections (otitis media) and gastroenteritis.
• Research also shows that breastfeeding leads to optimal brain development.
• Breastmilk helps strengthen and develop a baby's immature immune system in a way no other substance can.
• Breastfeeding contributes to optimal oral development and decreases the risk of tooth decay.
• Breastfeeding effectively protects against respiratory infections including those caused by rotaviruses. Studies have shown breastfed babies are less likely to be hospitalized with pneumonia or bronchiolitis, and have a decreased risk of lower respiratory tract.
• Breastfeeding has been associated with a slightly enhanced performance on cognitive development tests.
• Breastfeeding may reduce your child's risk of obesity and type 1 and 2 diabetes as they grow older.
• Skin-to-skin contact with mom creates a strong bond between mother and child with increased sense of security and comfort. Babies thrive physically and emotionally by being in close contact with their mother.
• Breastfed babies have a greater sense of taste and smell because breastmilk changes flavor based on the mother's diet.

Benefits for Mom
• Breastfeeding decreases a mother's risk of developing breast cancer. In addition, studies show that breastfeeding may decrease ovarian cancer and uterine cancer in women who breastfeed.
• Breastfeeding mothers may have a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
• As a nursing mother, you will burn extra calories, making it easier to lose the pounds put on during pregnancy. Breastfeeding will help you get back to your pre-pregnancy weight faster.
• Breastfeeding helps your uterus to go back to its normal size and will lessen the bleeding you may have after giving birth.
• Breastfeeding saves time. You do not have to purchase, measure, and mix formula, and there are no bottles to warm in the middle of the night. As a matter of fact, breastfeeding is always mixed properly, always the right temperature and you never forget to bring it with you!
• Breastmilk is free! Even if a baby is drinking expressed breastmilk and you need to purchase an electric breast pump, a good pump and feeding accessories are far less expensive than what you would spend on formula over the long term. (The average non-nursing mother can spend over $3,000 a year on formula, while a quality electric breast pump costs under $200.)
• Breastmilk is environmentally friendly. It produces no waste, no packaging and no pollution.

Mederma Skin Care for Scars, Scarring And Stretch Marks

Skin is a seamless organ, like a fine cloth protecting valuable assets. Imagine a piece of silk. Just one small tear can make a big difference in how it looks. And it's the same with skin. Any burn, injury, or other trauma, such as surgery, can cause a scar.

What Are The Types of Scars?
These are several different types of scars including:

• Keloid scars. These scars are the result of an overly aggressive healing process. They extend beyond the original injury. Over time, a keloid scar may hamper movement. Treatments include surgery to remove the scar, steroid injections, or silicone sheets to flatten the scar. Smaller keloids can be treated using cryotherapy (freezing therapy using liquid nitrogen). You can also prevent keloid formation by using pressure treatment or gel pads with silicone when you are injured. Keloid scars are most common among people with dark skin.

• Contracture scars. If your skin has been burned, you may have a contracture scar. These scars tighten skin, which can impair your ability to move. Contracture scars may also go deeper, affecting muscles and nerves.

• Hypertrophic scars. These are raised, red scars that are similar to keloids but do not go beyond the boundary of the injury. Treatments include injections of steroids to reduce inflammation or silicone sheets, which flatten the scar.

• Acne scars. If you've had severe acne, you probably have the scars to prove it. There are many types of acne scars, ranging from deep pits to scars that are angular or wavelike in appearance. Treatment options depend on the types of acne scars you have.

Over-the-counter or prescription creams, ointments, or gel products can be used to treat scars that are caused by cuts or other injuries or wounds. If you are under the care of a plastic surgeon and your scarring is from cosmetic or plastic surgery, ask your surgeon if over-the-counter treatment is an option. If not, there are prescriptions that may help. Often, treatments can include steroids or certain antihistamine creams for scars that cause itching and are very sensitive. Likewise, if you have scarring from severe acne, ask your dermatologist for advice. Your doctor can also recommend or use pressure treatment or silicone gel sheetings to help treat scars or as preventive care.

Keep your digestive system in sync with the #1 Gastroenterologist probiotic - Align

Probiotics help support your digestive system & overall health. Keep digestive & immune system healthy and be worry-free using the best probiotics supplement.

What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines camera. The normal human digestive tract contains about 400 types of probiotic bacteria that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system. The largest group of probiotic bacteria in the intestine is lactic acid bacteria, of which Lactobacillus acidophilus, found in yogurt with live cultures, is the best known. Yeast is also a probiotic substance. Probiotics are also available as dietary supplements.

Simply put, probiotics are good bacteria that are essential for many vital body functions, including healthy digestion. Your body needs beneficial bacteria for a number of things, including healthy digestion. Common issues such as diet, changes in schedule, travel, and stress can disrupt your natural balance of good bacteria. Probiotics are increasingly being used and evaluated to help maintain digestive balance.

What are probiotics used for?
Many people use probiotics to prevent diarrhea, gas, and cramping caused by antibiotics. Antibiotics kill "good" (beneficial) bacteria along with the bacteria that cause illness. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may lead to digestive problems. Taking probiotics may help replace the lost beneficial bacteria. This can help prevent diarrhea.

A decrease in beneficial bacteria may also lead to other infections, such as vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections, and symptoms such as diarrhea from intestinal illnesses.

Probiotics may also be used to:
• Help with other causes of diarrhea.
• Help prevent infections in the digestive tract.
• Help control immune response (inflammation), as in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

To maintain a healthy digestive system we need to ensure that we have lots of "good" bacteria. These friendly bacteria have a number of important roles:
• Improving your digestion;
• Producing vitamins;
• Relieving symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS);
• Detoxifying chemicals;
• Producing nutrients to repair the gut lining;
• Increasing resistance to infections and regulating the immune function;
• Preventing the overgrowth of bad bacteria.

What is a gastroenterologist?
Gastroenterologists, commonly referred to as GEs, are doctors who specialize in digestive health. They start with a three-year residency in Internal Medicine, and only after completing that do they begin specialized training in gastroenterology. This is where a gastroenterologist focuses his or her study on overall GI health, including the treatment of diseases in the gastrointestinal tract and liver, such as colon polyps, heartburn, colitis, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

What is Align ?
Align is a probiotic and daily dietary supplement which can help fortify your digestive system with healthy bacteria 24/7.

How Align Probiotics Work?

What Is Bifantis?
Bifantis is the natural probiotic ingredient in Align. The specific and pure strain of Bifantis found in Align is Bifidobacterium infantis 35624, which helps build and maintain a healthy digestive system. Align is the only probiotic supplement that contains Bifantis.

Aloe vera Health And Beauty Benefits

Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant growing to 60–100 cm (24–39 in) tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces. It belongs to the lily family but looks like a cactus. It is Aloe Vera, one of the most important plants used in Ayurveda, the Mother of all healing systems. Extracts from Aloe vera are widely used in the cosmetics and alternative medicine industries, being marketed as variously having rejuvenating, healing or soothing properties. There is, however, little scientific evidence of the effectiveness or safety of Aloe vera extracts for either cosmetic or medicinal purposes.

Aloe leaves contain a clear gel that is often used as a topical ointment. The green part of the leaf that surrounds the gel can be used to produce a juice or a dried substance (called latex) that is taken by mouth.

What makes Aloe Vera so special?
To begin with, its fat leaves contain a clear healing gel that is 96% water. The other 4% contain more than 75 valuable constituents, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, calcium and enzymes. Aloe Vera contains 7 out of 8 essential amino acids required by our body and therefore it can play a vital role for fulfilling our need of protein in our body.

For many years, aloe vera has been recognized for a variety of health benefits. Copious research has found that not only does the aloe vera extract aid in healing from burns as well as reducing scarring and inflammation, the aloe vera juice can also be used internally as a laxative and to treat asthma, peptic ulcers and other digestive disorders. Aloe vera oil has been shown to be effective in treating diabetes, constipation and a poor appetite as well as enhancing the overall immune system.

Aloe vera oil has exhibited anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Containing a host of beneficial compounds, the aloe vera extract has also been shown interesting results when used in conjunction with conventional cancer treatment. It can influence and stimulate assorted factors of the immune system by reducing the inflammation and blood supply to tumors, and can prevent certain compounds from being absorbed by the liver.

Externally, aloe vera oil can be used to induce cell regeneration, treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne and skin ulcers, as well as surgical wounds. This is thought to be because aloe vera oil contains vitamin E and C, as well as zinc and polysaccharides which aid in stimulating epidermal growth and cell repair.

As if that weren't enough, the aloe vera oils have shown rejuvenating and healing benefits in massage therapy, have been effective in killing the virus that causes herpes and shingles, and have shown a positive result in remission of certain skin cancers. The aloe vera extract contains many health benefits proven by extensive research. Talk to your doctor or health practitioner about the advantages of adding aloe vera to your health regimen.

Soothing and Healing
The healing effect of Aloe Vera results from its ability to prevent injury to epithelial tissues, and promote healing of injured tissues. An epithelium is a layer of cells that covers the body. Our largest epithelium is the skin. One of the main applications of Aloe Vera is to soothe a variety of skin ailments such as mild cuts, insect stings, bruises, poison ivy and eczema. It also has antibacterial and antifungal qualities, and increases blood flow to wounded areas. This amazing plant stimulates the skin cells responsible for wound healing and the manufacture of collagen, the protein that controls the aging process of the skin and wrinkling. The skin absorbs Aloe Vera up to four times faster than water and this helps the pores of the skin open and receive the moisture and nutrients of the plant.

Aloe Vera can be applied externally and taken internally too. When taken internally, Aloe Vera juice aids the digestion and absorption of nutrients, helps control blood sugar, increases energy production, promotes cardiovascular health, improves liver function, and boosts the immune system.

How Aloevera Is Used
Most people use Aloe simply by cutting off a piece of leaf and squeezing the liquid onto their skin. This works, but it wastes the inner gel, which is the most potent part of the plant. The gel can be mixed with Vaseline, and applied on black spots on the face and hands to help restore normal skin tone. Heat Aloe Vera leaves and squeeze the juice on burns for quick relief. When the juice is applied on the face it acts as a sun screen and also helps to prevent sunburn. If Aloe Vera gel is mixed with turmeric powder, left on the face overnight, and then washed off the next morning, pimples and acne will gradually disappear. If the gel is boiled with coconut oil, filtered and applied regularly to the scalp, it promotes the growth of healthy and lustrous hair.

Drinking the juice of Aloe Vera can be very beneficial in the case of a wide range of disorders. Aloe Vera juice helps clear the toxins out of the digestive system, facilitates digestion and improves the functioning of the kidneys, liver and gall bladder. Its antiviral properties promote the healing of warts as well as diabetic wounds. Its capillary dilating properties increase blood circulation and speed up regeneration of skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of the juice make it very effective in treating joint pains and it is also mixed with turmeric and given in cases of spleen enlargement. The list of Aloe Vera’s healing properties goes on and on. In fact, no other natural product contains such large number of constituents useful for humans- which why Aloe Vera has now become part of almost every system of medicine, including contemporary western medicine.

Here is a list of the Top Benefits and Medicinal Uses for Aloe Vera:
1. High in Vitamins & Minerals
Aloe Vera contains many vitamins including A, C, E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6. Aloe Vera is also one of the few plants that contains vitamin B12. The human body cannot store some of these vitamins, so we need to supplement them regularly through our diet. The minerals found in aloe vera include Calcium, Sodium, Iron, Potassium, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Magnesium, Chromium and more… Plenty of good nutrition in aloe vera juice!

2. Amino Acids
The human body requires 20 amino acids to build protein; 8 of these amino acids are ‘essential’ which means the body can’t make them itself. Aloe vera contains 19 of these amino acids, and 7 of the essential amino acids. So drinking aloe vera juice tops up your body’s daily supply.

3. Aloe Vera is an Adaptogen
Aloe Vera is a well-known adaptogen. An adaptogen is something that boosts the body’s natural ability to adapt to external changes and resist illness. It is thought that aloe’s power as an adaptogen balances the body’s system, stimulating the defense and adaptive mechanisms of the body. This allows you an increased ability to cope with stress (physical, emotional and environmental stress like pollution)

4. Healthy Digestion
A healthy digestive system makes sure that we absorb as many of the nutrients as possible from the foods we eat. Aloe vera juice has natural detoxifying abilities; and drinking aloe vera juice seems to improve bowel regularity and increases protein absorption. It also helps to decrease the amount of unfriendly bacteria and yeast in our gut. Aloe vera has been shown to help reduce and soothe heartburn and other digestive problems.

5. Natural Immune Support
Aloe vera is full of anti-oxidants – natural immune enhancers which fight free radicals within our body. Free radicals are the unstable compounds produced as a side-effect of our metabolism. They are thought to cause various ailments, as well as contributing to the ageing process. Drinking aloe vera juice regularly gives the body a regular supply of anti-oxidants, which can boost and enhance the immune system.

6. Reduce Inflammation
Aloe vera juice contains 12 substances which can slow down or inhibit inflammation, without any side-effects. Some people say that drinking aloe vera juice helps with their stiff, swollen or painful joints.

7. Detox
Aloe vera juice is a great natural aid to detox. With our stressful lives, the pollution around us and the junk foods we eat, we all need to cleanse our systems from time to time. Some people more often than others! Drinking aloe vera juice provides a fantastically rich cocktail of vitamins, minerals and trace elements to help our bodies deal with these stresses and strains everyday.

8. Collagen and Elastin Repair for Healthy Skin
Drinking aloe vera juice adds a rich supply of raw materials to your diet, which can produce and maintain really healthy skin. The skin replaces itself every 28 days. Using the nutritional building blocks of aloe vera, the skin can use these nutrients daily to help combat the effects of ageing. Aloe vera also helps in soothing minor burns, cuts, scrapes and skin irritations.

9. Regulate Weight and Energy Levels
Drinking aloe vera juice naturally allows the body to cleanse the digestive system. Our diets include many substances which can cause fatigue and exhaustion. Taken regularly, aloe vera juice ensures a greater feeling of well-being, allowing energy levels to increase and helps maintain a healthy body weight.

10. Dental Health
Aloe vera is extremely helpful for your mouth and gums. As well as its natural anti-bacterial and anti-microbial actions, it contains vitamins and minerals which promote cell growth and healing. There are some aloe vera toothgels available which contain a high level of pure aloe vera, which may help with bleeding gums and mouth ulcers.

11. Better than Nutritional Supplements
Recent research has shown that adding good foods to our diets, rich in naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, is far better than adding supplements alone. The good news is that Aloe Vera juice is considered a food, rather than a manufactured supplement. So drinking aloe vera juice is probably better than taking supplements alone, because our bodies can absorb all the nutrients in aloe vera more easily, and utilize them more effectively.

12. Cardiovascular Health
There hasn’t been a lot of studies conducted in this but there has been some research to show that Aloe Vera extract injected into the blood, greatly multiplies the oxygen transportation and diffusion capabilities of the red blood cells.

According to a study published in the 2000 issue of the British Medical Journal, beta sitosterol helps to lower cholesterol. By regulating blood pressure, improving circulation and oxidation of the blood, lowering cholesterol, and making blood less sticky, Aloe Vera juice may be able to help lower the risk of heart disease.

Aloe Vera Intake Precautions
This plant is incredibly medicinal, yet there are some cautions against long-term use. Just because a little is beneficial, doesn’t mean that a lot is more beneficial. This is an incredibly potent herb and should be used with a level of respect for its potency. Long-term use can lead to loss of electrolytes, especially potassium.

Avoid taking aloe internally during pregnancy, menstruation, if you have hemorrhoids or degeneration of the liver and gall bladder.

Avocado Health Benefits

Avocado fruit is native to South and Central America, the English living in Jamaica named the avocado an alligator pear. However today in Jamaica they call the avocado a butter pear. The original name for the avocado tree and the fruit comes from the Aztec word abuactal, meaning “testicle,” it is not only referring to the shape of the fruit but in how it hangs from the tree in pairs. The amount of names and meanings to this fruit vary greatly from culture to culture and country to country.

In some countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, and Brazil, avocados are frequently used for milkshakes and occasionally added to ice cream and other desserts. The dessert drink is made with milk, sugar and crushed ice. Chocolate syrup is sometimes added. Apart from that, avocados are also considered as one of the healthiest foods in the planet because they contain in excess of 25 essential nutrients, including vitamin A, B, C, E, & K, copper, iron, phosporus, magnesium, and potassium. Avocados also contain fiber, protein, and several beneficial phytochemicals such as beta-sitosterol, glutathione and lutein, which may protect against various disease and illness.

Avocado’s also contain the antioxidants Cartenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, as well as healthy fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid and oleic acid. Moreover, the avocado is one of the high calorie fruit that you could be eating. This is due to its larger amounts of fat content, approximately 20 times the average of other fruits. Although Avocado is high in fat content, but it is mostly the monounsaturated fat which is a healthy fat variety.

Here are 15 health benefits of avocados:

1. Maintain a healthy heart
Avocado contains vitamin B6 and folic acid, which help regulate homocysteine levels. High level of homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Avocado also contains vitamin E, glutathione, and monounsaturated fat, which help in maintaining a healthy heart.

2. Lower cholesterol levels
Avocados are rich in a compound called beta-sitosterol which has been shown to be effective in lowering blood cholesterol levels. According to a study, patients with mild hypercholesterolemia who included avocados in their diet for 7 days had 17 percent decrease in total blood cholesterol levels, a 22 percent decrease in both LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels, and a 11 percent increase in HDL (good cholesterol) levels.

3. Control Blood Pressure
Avocados are also a great source of potassium, which helps in controlling blood pressure levels.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Phytonutrient compound found in avocados, such as polyphenols and flavonoids have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, thereby reducing the risk of inflammatory and degenerative disorders.

5. Promote Eye Health

7. Prevent Birth Defects
Avocados are rich in folate, a B vitamin commonly known as folic acid. One cup of avocado provides about 23% of the recommended daily value of folate. The high amount of folate in avocado is essential in the prevention of birth defects, such as neural tube defect and spina bifida.

8. Reduce Strokes Risk
The high levels of folate in avocados may also protect against stroke. A study has shown that individuals who ate a diet rich in folate had a lower risk of stroke than those who did not.

Back Pain Common Causes, Prevention And Treatment

Back pain is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine. Back pain may be constant or sudden, mild or debilitating. Get the facts on back pain treatments, including medication, exercise, and chiropractic care.

Back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting 80% of people at some point in their lives. In the United States it is the most common cause of job-related disability, a leading contributor to missed work, and the second most common neurological ailment only headache is more common. It can be either acute, subacute or chronic in duration.

Causes of Lower Back Pain:
Lower back pain occurs because of the inflammation of lower back muscles is false. The cause of lower back pain is actually the irritation of the nerve root near the spine. This nerve, which emerges through the openings between the vertebras, gets pinched and inflamed, giving rise to this condition.

Common causes of back pain are tension and stiffness. There are many other causes and types of back pain. Some of them are following:-
• Stress is main cause of back pain in body
• Excessive strain on back. In women due to pregnancy
• Accidental fractures in back
• Incorrect postures while sitting on chairs
• Incorrect position while sleeping
• Bed condition not suitable for sleeping
• Office chairs are not designed as easy to sit long
• Being very overweight

Back Pain Relief Exercise
Exercise may be the most effective way to provide relief from lower back pain, speed recovery, and help strengthen back and abdominal muscles. Maintaining and building muscle strength is particularly important for people with skeletal irregularities. Doctors and physical therapists can provide a list of gentle exercises that help keep muscles moving and speed the recovery process. A routine of back-healthy activities may include:

• Stretching exercises
• Swimming
• Walking
• Yoga, which gently stretches muscles and eases pain
• Movement therapy to improve coordination and develop proper posture and muscle balance.

Left Side Lower Back Pain:
Left Side lower back pain is a frequent culprit of pain and is responsible for many visits to an orthopedic doctor. Pain that develops in the left lower back is most often due to relatively common, simple conditions. However, it is important to understand the causes and symptoms of back pain in order to prevent more serious conditions from occurring.

Preventing left Side lower back pain can be achieved in a number of ways. First, it is important to maintain the correct posture when doing anything, whether you are sitting or exercising. Also, when exercising it is important not to over do it. Ease into a routine and always stretch the muscles out first. Avoid smoking and also maintain the proper body weight in order to stay in a good, healthy shape.

Right Side Lower Back Pain:
Right side lower back pain is among the most common types of back pain. Right side lower back pain is among the highest causes of missed work days among adults. The problem is obviously significant and can cause great discomfort when moving and trying to do normal, everyday activities.

Prevention is also important to minimize pain or potential recurring right side lower back pain. As already mention exercise is important and it will keep muscles strong and flexible. It's also necessary to lift objects with your legs and maintain good posture at all times. Also, avoid smoking and maintain the correct body weight to ensure the best health and to prevent chances of further back pain.

Prevention And Treatment
• Most lower back pain can be prevented with regular stretching and exercise. Most activities, sports and even sitting cause the muscles to become stiff. Also, people typically consume a lot of calcium in their diet. But it is magnesium that actually relaxes muscles in the body. Therefore, this mineral supplement can help alleviate lower back pain, too.

• Hyperextensions can help prevent lower back pain as can light deadlifts. Heavy deadlifts are never recommended, especially for people over the age of 35. Also, because of their interconnection, building muscle strength in the buttocks and abdomen can also prevent and alleviate lower back pain.

• Most lower back pain can be treated with heat and ice. Anti-inflammatory medications and corticosteroids are sometimes prescribed. Chiropractors can also help people with realignment which can relieve pain in the area, and orthopaedic doctors can determine if surgery is necessary.

The following tips will help you guard yourself from hurting your back
• When you lift heavy objects, keep your knees bent and squat while lifting the object. Do not bend to lift it.

• While carrying the object hold it close to your chest, keep your spine erect and straight.

• When you lift heavy objects, keep your knees bent and squat while lifting the object. Do not bend to lift it.

Fish Oil Health Benefits

Fish oil is the oil from fish. Fish oil is the oil extracted from the tissues and belly cavities of certain species of fish considered to be "oily fish". Fish that are especially rich in the beneficial oils known as omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, tuna, salmon, sturgeon, mullet, bluefish, anchovy, sardines, herring, trout, and menhaden. They provide about 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids in about 3.5 ounces of fish. It has received a lot of positive attention in the last few years. With an increasing number of people knowing the difference between good and bad fats, more people are appreciating the many benefits of fish oil. Other than potential benefits for general health, fish oil also has potential anabolic effects.

Fish oil supplements often contain small amounts of vitamin E to prevent spoilage. They might also be combined with calcium, iron, or vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, or D.

Over-the-counter fish oil supplements are extremely popular and used to treat heart disease, high blood pressure and psoriasis and a number of other ailments.

Fish Oil Benefits:
The many benefits of fish oil generally stem from its high content of long chain omega 3 fatty acids. Two notable mentions include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are both essential fatty acids that we cannot make. Within the body they are converted to a group of hormones that have many beneficial functions. In essence, EPA and DHA are basically pro-hormones.

Fish oil is used for a wide range of conditions. It is most often used for conditions related to the heart and blood system. Some people use fish oil to lower blood pressure or triglyceride levels (fats related to cholesterol). Fish oil has also been tried for preventing heart disease or stroke. The scientific evidence suggests that fish oil really does lower high triglycerides, and it also seems to help prevent heart disease and stroke when taken in the recommended amounts. Ironically, taking too much fish oil can actually increase the risk of stroke.

List of Fish oil Benefits
• Fish oil helps keep the brain, heart and immune system healthy.
• Fish oil improves blood vessel functioning and lowers blood pressure.
• Fish oil reduces inflammation and pain in joints and other areas of
the body.
• Fish oil reduces triglycerides (a type of fat found in the blood).
• Fish oil helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces insulin resistance.
• Fish oil improves fat metabolism and increases fat burning during exercise.
Potential Fish Oil Health Benefits:
• Fish oil may reduce the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
• Fish oil may help in the treatment of ADHD and depression.
• Fish oil may prevent age-related macular degeneration (an eye disorder).

When fish oil is obtained by eating fish, the way the fish is prepared seems to make a difference. Eating broiled or baked fish appears to reduce the risk of heart disease, but eating fried fish or fish sandwiches not only cancels out the benefits of fish oil, but may actually increase heart disease risk.

Two of the most important omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). See separate listings for EPA and DHA.

What Are Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty layers of cold-water fish and shellfish, plant and nut oils, English walnuts, flaxseed, algae oils, and fortified foods. You can also get omega-3s as supplements. Food and supplement sources of these fatty acids differ in the forms and amounts they contain.

There are the two main types of omega-3 fatty acids:
• Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These are plentiful in fish and shellfish. Algae often provides only DHA.
• Short-chain omega-3 fatty acids are ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). These are found in plants, such as flaxseed. Though beneficial, ALA omega-3 fatty acids have less potent health benefits than EPA and DHA. You'd have to eat a lot to gain the same benefits as you do from fish.

Benefits Of Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
• Builds better brain functioning. Pregnant and nursing mothers can have a great impact on the intelligence and happiness of their babies by supplementing with fish oil. For adults, omega 3 improves memory, recall, reasoning and focus. You'll swear you're getting younger and smarter.

• Decreases pain and inflammation. Omega 3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, have a very positive effect on your inflammatory response. Through several mechanisms, they regulate your body's inflammation cycle, which prevents and relieves painful conditions like arthritis, allergy rhinitis, prostatitis, cystitis and anything else with an "itis" ending.

• Improves cardiovascular health. Omega 3 fatty acids have also been proven to work wonders for your heart and the miles and miles of arteries and veins that make up your cardiovascular system. They help lower cholesterol, triglycerides, bad LDLs and blood pressure, while at the same time increasing good HDL cholesterol. This adds years to your life expectancy. Omega 3 with EPA and DPA is your best defence.

• Reduces heart attack and strokes. When plaque builds up on arterial walls and then breaks loose, it causes a thrombosis, which is a fancy way of saying blood clot. If a clot gets stuck in the brain, it causes a stroke and when it plugs an artery, it causes a heart attack. Research shows omega 3 fatty acids break up clots before they can cause any damage.

• Reduces depression and psychosis. Making you smarter is not all omega-3 does for your brain. Psychiatry department researchers at the University of Sheffield, along with many other research studies, found that omega 3 fish oil supplements "alleviate" the symptoms of depression, bipolar and psychosis

• Increases both male and female fertility. Studies show that infertility is directly related to the amount of fish oil you consume. Fish oil balances hormones, improves hormonal levels and increases blood flow to the uterus. The more Omega 3 fatty acids you get the greater your odds of conceiving.

• Improves all around pregnancy health. Omega 3 fish oil has been shown to reduce the danger of pregnancy preeclampsia (high blood pressure), premature birth and postpartum depression. Fish oil fatty acids also facilitate a healthy placental blood flow and the efficient exchange of nutrients and oxygen between mother and baby and greatly contributes to proper brain development, increasing the child's intelligence.

• Lowers incidence of childhood disorders. Just to show how fish oil fatty acids leave nobody out, studies show that children (and adults) with ADD and ADHD experience a greatly improved quality of life. And those with dyslexia, dyspraxia and compulsive disorders have gotten a new lease on life thanks to omega 3 oils.

• Decreases chances of osteoporosis. Having high levels of fish oil fatty acids has been shown to lower the risk of osteoporosis, which is an especially high for women after menopause.

• Reduces Breast, Colon and Prostate Cancer. And finally, omega 3 fish oil has been shown to help prevent three of the most common forms of cancer - breast, colon and prostate. Science tells us that omega 3s accomplish these in three ways. They stop the alteration from a normal healthy cell to a cancerous mass, inhibiting unwanted cellular growth and causing apoptosis, or cellular death, of cancer cells.

A lot of the benefit of fish oil seems to come from the omega-3 fatty acids that it contains. Interestingly, the body does not produce its own omega-3 fatty acids. Nor can the body make omega-3 fatty acids from omega-6 fatty acids, which are common in the Western diet. A lot of research has been done on EPA and DHA, two types of omega-3 acids that are often included in fish oil supplements.

Omega-3 fatty acids reduce pain and swelling. This may explain why fish oil is likely effective for psoriasis and dry eyes. These fatty acids also prevent the blood from clotting easily. this might make fish oil helpful for some heart conditions.

Castor Oil Health Benefits

Castor Oil is a very pale yellow liquid that is extracted from castor seeds (Ricinus Communis). It is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant oil which has been used for centuries for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. It is believed that most of castor oil's benefits are derived from its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids. Although it has a strong and rather unpleasant taste, castor oil is used in cosmetics, soaps, textiles, medicines, massage oils and many other everyday products.

What are the Benefits of Castor Oil?
Castor Oil has been used both internally and externally for thousands of years due to its many wonderful health benefits. Since it can strengthen the immune system, castor oil is considered a great remedy to treat the following major illnesses and ailments:

• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson's Disease
• Cerebral Palsy
• Hair loss
• Pain from Arthritis and Rheumatism

It has also been found to help with many everyday problems such as:
• Yeast Infections
• Constipation
• Gastrointestinal Problems
• Menstrual Disorders
• Migraines
• Acne
• Sunburn
• Athlete's Foot
• Ringworm
• Skin Abrasions
• Inflammation

Castor Oil UsefulFor Maintaining Beautiful and Healthy Skin and Hair

1. Cures Acne
The ricinoleic acid in castor oil works to inhibit many viruses and bacteria, and as castor oil is able to penetrate skin tissue deeply, this makes it an effective treatment for acne.

2. Wrinkle Treatment
Castor oil is a natural emollient that penetrates the skin and helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which can soften and hydrate the skin. Therefore, it is a wonderful natural treatment for wrinkles since it restores and rejuvenates skin's natural youthful appearance by making skin smoother, softer and pliant. Dip a small cotton ball into the oil and apply it on wrinkled skin before going to bed. Use only a small amount of oil when applying it to the skin near the eyes.

3. Stye Treatment
The anti-bacterial components of castor oil have been found to be effective against styes (oil gland infections on the eyelid). Simply apply a very small drop of the oil directly onto the stye 2 or 3 times per day.

4. Constipation Remedy
Studies have shown that Castor Oil is a very strong laxative, which makes it very effective against constipation. Therefore, simply take a teaspoon of castor oil in the morning. You can mix the oil with orange juice, cranberry juice, prune juice, or ginger juice to take away from the bitter taste without affecting the laxative effects. However, do not take it continuously for more than 3 days. If symptoms persist for longer than 3 days, consult your physician immediately.

5. Keeps The Skin Looking Smooth, Youthful And Unlined
Castor oil’s ability to penetrate more deeply than any other essential plant oil make it an excellent way to keep skin looking youthful and fresh. One of the best and easiest ways to use castor oil is to rub in a small amount around your eyes before bed, washing it off the next morning.

6. Breaks Up External And Internal Scar Tissue

Castor oil will penetrate deep into the tissues to slowly break up scar tissue. Amazingly, castor oil is able to distinguish between healthy cells and abnormal ones. In healthy cells, castor oil will detoxify and stimulate them, while increasing circulation. In abnormal cells like scar tissue and growths, castor oil will instead work to aggressively dissolve cells thanks to its solvent property.

7. Soothes Shingles
One commenter, Denise, talked about how castor oil seem to be the only thing helping soothe the pain from her shingles. Shingles are a type of viral infection and as castor oil has been proven to boost the body’s lymphocytes, it could be why castor oil applications appear to be helpful for anyone with weakened immune systems.

8. Thickens Eyelashes And Eyebrows
Rub a little castor oil over the base of your eyelashes before bed. This prevents thinning and promotes rapid growth, leading to thicker and fuller lashes. In fact, many commercial products for eyelashes contain castor oil.

9. Rrevents Hair Loss and Regenerates Hair
The anti-bacterial and anti-fungicidal properties of ricinoleic acid in castor oil protects the scalp and hair from infections that can cause hair loss. The omega-9 fatty acids in castor oil also nourish the hair and prevent the scalp from drying.

Rubbing castor oil on your scalp and the roots of your hair will regenerate new hair growth within months. This will also thicken thinning hair.

10. Hair Looks Soft and Shiny
Castor oil is a humectant as it draws moisture into the hair and skin. Applying castor oil on hair will keep it looking soft, shiny and strong.

11. Softens Thick Calluses and Removes Corns
Castor oil application will soften any rough or thickened skin, including calluses and corns. To treat corns, apply castor oil over your feet and put cotton socks on before going to bed. (Incidentally, sleeping with castor oil socks on will also soothe painful heels and foot pain.)

12. Cures Skin Infections Like Athlete’s Foot and Ringworm
Apply a castor oil soaked cloth on the affected area. If it is small enough, a bandaid with a few drops of castor oil can be used instead.

13. Prevents Stretch Marks
Rub a small amount of castor oil over your stomach and thighs daily to prevent stretchmarks during pregnancy or periods of weight gain.

11. Remove Moles and Warts (apply heat for faster results)
Rub castor oil into moles or warts every night. The moles (or warts) will start to shrink over a few weeks, and continued use will eventually remove the mole without any scarring. Complete removal may take 2-3 months, but this slow healing will also ensure there is no “hole” in your skin. (The surgical removal of moles will often leave a hole where the mole was. This indentation can often be permanent.)

12. Remove Age Spots (liver spots)
Rub castor oil into your age spots every night. The age spot will lighten over time, and continued use will eventually remove the age spot completely.

Castor oil is normally safe if used in moderation. However, pregnant and lactating women and people with intestinal blockage, acute inflammatory intestinal disease, appendicitis, or abdominal pain should not take Castor Oil without their doctor's approval.

Health Benefits Of Biotin

Biotin, a member of the B-vitamin family, is an essential nutrient in human nutrition. It is involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids, gluconeogenesis, energy production, the metabolism of the branched-chain amino acids (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine) and the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides. Biotin, as referred to as Vitamin H is part of the Vitamin B complex group and might be interesting to some people since one of the most visible symptoms of shortage of this vitamin is thinning of hair which can lead to total hair loss.

Biotin, or vitamin H is part of the complex B vitamins. Along with helping the body metabolize fats and carbohydrates, biotin has been linked to improved hair health and maintaining proper function of the nervous system. Though it’s uncommon to have a deficiency in biotin, chronic smokers, alcoholics, pregnant women, those with Crohn’s and/or liver disease and anyone eating a diet loaded with processed foods are most likely to have a deficiency. Symptoms often reveal themselves through dry eyes, cracking on the sides of the mouth, scaly skin, depression and hair loss.

Biotin, or vitamin H is part of the complex B vitamins. Along with helping the body metabolize fats and carbohydrates, biotin has been linked to improved hair health and maintaining proper function of the nervous system. Though it’s uncommon to have a deficiency in biotin, chronic smokers, alcoholics, pregnant women, those with Crohn’s or liver disease and anyone eating a diet loaded with processed foods are most likely to have a deficiency. Symptoms often reveal themselves through dry eyes, cracking on the sides of the mouth, scaly skin, depression and hair loss.

1. Strengthen hair and nails
Biotin may have an important role in the growth and maintenance of your hair and nails. If you suffer from a Biotin deficiency, you will typically experience hair loss and brittle nails, and taking supplements of this vitamin may help to halt this process. In many cases, taking a Biotin supplement may even help you to stimulate new hair and nail growth. Even though hair loss is rarely caused by a Biotin deficiency in your body, this problem can quite often be helped if you take Biotin supplements regularly. Even if you have normal Biotin levels, you may choose to take Biotin as a supplement in the hopes of capitalizing on its ability to stimulate rapid hair and nail growth.

2. Improve the health of your skin
A biotin deficiency can lead to a variety of skin problems including rashes, acne, psoriasis, dermatitis and overall itchiness. “B vitamins play a key role in the function of the nervous system and do affect hormone function. If skin isn’t nourished from the inside out, toxicities will form throughout the nervous system and manifest itself on the skin’s surface. This is one of the biggest signs that suggest a deficiency in biotin or vitamin B.

3. Aid in weight loss
Biotin plays a pivotal role in supporting metabolic function and works as a co-enzyme to help break down food, particularly carbohydrates. This reaction is further accelerated when biotin is paired with chromium. Your resting metabolic rate is elevated and food breaks down faster when consuming biotin, which is why there’s a link to biotin and accelerating weight loss. However, research is still preliminary and in no way does biotin act as a weight loss pill. It is still important to pair the supplement with a healthy diet and exercise regime to make sure you meet your slim-down goals. The good news: biotin is widely available and can be found in many foods such chicken, soy, walnuts, whole grains, beans and legumes.

4. Lower cholesterol
Biotin has shown to play a role in lowering cholesterol, which when too high, can lead to heart disease including heart attack and stroke. Preliminary research has shown biotin can help reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels.

It’s important to note that raw eggs can inhibit the absorption of biotin so if you’re drinking a raw egg shake or eat raw eggs in food, beware that it can reduce the amount of biotin you’re metabolizing.

5. Biotin Blood Sugar Benefits
Biotin plays a major role in your blood glucose production. Since biotin is heavily involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates within your body, it is largely responsible for keeping your blood sugar at healthy levels. If you suffer from diabetes, you may be given a Biotin supplement as a way to get your blood sugar levels up to properly functional amounts.

6. Biotin General Health Benefits
Biotin, like all of the B-complex vitamins, has an essential role within your body. If you suspect that you may be suffering a Biotin deficiency, make sure to check with your doctor, and give consideration to a Biotin supplement. Biotin offers your body much more than just a metabolic boost - it can help virtually every part of your body to achieve and maintain good health.

7. Biotin Metabolism Benefits
Biotin is essential for your metabolic process. This vitamin processes nearly every type of food that you ingest, including carbohydrates, protein and fat. When biotin levels are at the proper levels in your body, the food that you take in will be processed quickly. Your doctor may even prescribe a biotin supplement if you suffer from metabolic issues, since it can help get your metabolism up to normal functioning levels quickly. If you are trying to lose weight, a Biotin supplement may help, since it is sometimes thought to speed up weight loss, due to its clear effects on metabolic levels.

Anyone can take biotin as it is treated as a supplement and not a drug. “Since it’s found in most foods, most of us already meet our daily requirements simply by consuming a nutrient-rich diet,”. Biotin is also safe for pregnant women, but it’s always best to check with your doctor to determine what dosage is right for you. It can be found in a multivitamin, B complex or in pure tablet form and is readily available over the counter.

Folic acid Benefits And Its Importance

Folic acid are forms of the water-soluble vitamin B9. Folic acid, which is also called folate, is a B vitamin. The best food sources of folic acid are fortified cereals. Folic acid plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and helps your baby's neural tube develop into her brain and spinal cord.

Folic acid actually have no side effects, hence it is said to be the safe substance to consume for health benefits. Folic acid is also important in the metabolism of protein and the prevention of anemia. Therefore, folic acid is said to be very essential for pregnant women and in prevention of many severe medical conditions including Spina bifida (split spine), which is a severe spinal cord disease found in infants.

Folic acid is a water soluble vitamin beneficial for almost all aspects of human health. The biggest benefit of folic acid is observed in pregnant women and women planning to conceive. Women in childbearing age must consume at least 800-1000 mcg of folic acid in their regular diet. Folic acid is necessary for the healthy development of our cells, a healthy brain and protection from cell damage that may lead to future cancers. Folic acid aids drugs used to treat depression and may even hold great promise for the growing autism epidemic that faces the world today.

What Folic Acid Does:
Folic acid helps the body to make RNA and DNA, the body’s genetic material that contains all the code for new cells. Because of this role, deficiencies of folic acid can have far-reaching effects, and is especially important during pregnancy, infancy and adolescence when the body is growing rapidly. Folic acid also is used in creating red blood cells and regulating the use of iron by the body. It also works closely with vitamins B6 and B12 to help control levels of the amino acid, homo-cysteine. Researchers suspect that elevated levels of homo-cysteine may be implicated in a number of illnesses and conditions, including come cancers, heart disease, diabetes and depression.

Erythrocyte production - the adequate and appropriate development of an unborn child’s brain and spinal cord - is dependent on foods rich in folate. A lack of folate during pregnancy can lead to gaps in the development of the spinal cord, which can result in paralysis, brain damage, or a stillborn child.

2. Production of red blood cells
Folate is key in the development of red blood cells or erythrocytes. A lack of this compound can make the body susceptible to cancer. In addition, the body’s defense mechanism, the white blood cells, are also manufactured in the presence of folate supplements.

3. Thwarting heart disease
Folic acid supplements also help the heart stay healthy and function optimally. Folate deficiency can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, coronary complications, and strokes in patients. In the U.S., after bread and cereal companies were asked to add vitamin B12 to their products, the rate of heart disease and stroke decreased by about 15 percent. Folic acid also helps remove homo-cysteine, a toxic compound that can lead to severe artery damage if not eliminated from the blood.

4. Helps in depression
Several studies have indicated that folate supplements can reduce depression. A deficiency may cause an increased risk of depression and dementia.

5. Helps keep brain young
Adequate folate levels are necessary for proper brain functioning. Studies have shown that folate benefits the brain by slowing down the effects of aging.

Other Benefits
Recent study shows that a sufficient intake of folic acid lowers the rate of recurring miscarriages. More benefits are mentioned below.

• Increases breast milk
• Prevents Alzheimer's disease
• Good for skin care
• Improves Brain development and functioning
• Prevents cancer
• Improves Fertility
• Prevents eye diseases like Macular degeneration

Sources of Folic Acid
There are two main sources of folic acid:
• Food
• Vitamin Supplements

Folate and folic acid are different terms for the same B vitamin. Folate is found naturally in foods and folic acid is the synthetic form of the vitamin found in multivitamins and supplements.

The body does not use the natural form of folic acid (folate) as easily as the synthetic form. We cannot be sure that eating foods containing folate would have the same benefits as consuming folic acid in a multivitamin. Also, even if you eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, you might not get all the nutrients you need every day from food alone. Even women who eat foods enriched with folic acid are still not getting all that they need. That’s why it’s important for all women of childbearing age to take a multivitamin containing a minimum of 0.4 mg of folic acid. High-risk women need to take even more folic acid every day.

Folate food sources
Good dietary sources of folate include: green leafy vegetables like spinach and broccoli, bananas, strawberries, oranges, tomatoes, asparagus, legumes, yeast, cereals, mushrooms, fish, eggs, poultry, meat (specifically organs like liver and kidneys), and dairy.

Symptoms of Folic Acid Deficiency:
Folic acid deficiency can cause poor growth, tongue inflammation, gingivitis, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, diarrhea, irritability, forgetfulness, and mental sluggishness. Folic acid deficiency in pregnant women has been proven to cause neural tube birth defects in the newborn.

Recommended Amount: How Much You Need
Aim to get 700 micrograms (mcg) of folate per day. The average daily diet contains about 300 mcg, so choose a multivitamin with 400 mcg of folic acid to top off your daily dose. Pregnant women as well as people who have cancer, severe burns, or skin diseases may need extra folate to maintain healthy levels.

Don't exceed 1,000 mcg of folic acid per day - too much could lead to nerve damage or vitamin B12 deficiency.

Garlic Oil Health Benefits And Uses

Garlic (Allium Sativum) is a plant with a very strong and bitter flavor which has been used for both culinary and medical purposes for hundreds of years. The key medicinal ingredient in garlic is allicin, which is known to have wonderful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties.

One of the variations of garlic is garlic oil. Garlic oil has been produced for the last 80 years. It is manufactured by marinating chopped and crushed garlic in vegetable oil for at least 24 hours. The leftover pieces of garlic are then removed from the remaining liquid. The other method of making garlic oil is by subjecting crushed or chopped garlic to steam distillation and taking out the natural oil. Taking garlic-oil capsules will help you avoid the infamous "garlic breath".

Garlic oil is available as a supplement on the market, commonly in pill form. It is made by infusing garlic in an oil such as soybean, so garlic oil pills generally consist of mostly oil. Garlic supplements are available in the form of tablets, capsules, extracts, and oils and can be purchased at Myotcstore.com

Benefits of Garlic Oil
Garlic can be used to treat high cholesterol, parasites, respiratory problems, poor digestion, and low energy. Studies suggest that regularly eating garlic helps lower blood pressure, controls blood sugar and blood cholesterol, and boosts the immune system. It has also been found to reduce the risk of esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer.

Garlic oil derived from the marination method does not contain as many DADS and DATs as steam-distilled oil, but does have high amounts of antibiotic properties as well as a strong ability to ward off the formation of blood clots. This is due to the chemical compound ajoene, which is commercially obtained only through garlic oil made by marination. This type of oil also has circulatory-system benefits in addition to helping the heart.

Note that it is not recommended to take garlic in its raw form, since the enzyme necessary to produce allicin may be destroyed in the stomach before having any positive effect. For this reason, dried or powdered garlic tablets are more suitable to take advantage of garlic's immune-boosting qualities. Studies have shown that other forms of garlic such as cooked garlic, pickled garlic, and aged garlic are also beneficial.

Uses of GarlicOil
1. Allergies
Garlic is known to have antiviral properties, which helps the body fight against allergies. Simply take one tablet of garlic supplement each day 2 or 3 weeks before the usual allergy season begins.

2. Coughing
Garlic's antibacterial properties make it a wonderful treatment for coughs and other throat irritations. Garlic may also reduce the severity of upper respiratory tract infections.

3. Diabetes
Garlic is considered to regulate blood sugar levels by increasing the release of insulin in diabetics. Therefore an effective remedy is to take one capsule or tablet of garlic everyday.

4. High Blood Pressure
Clinical studies have shown that people with high blood pressure who took garlic capsules daily for up to five months lowered their blood pressure levels as effectively as patients taking prescription blood pressure drugs. A suggested dosage is 600-900mg garlic capsules once daily.

5. High Cholesterol
Studies have shown that taking 600-900mg of garlic everyday lowers cholesterol levels and reduces arterial plaque formation by 5–18%. Therefore, an effective natural remedy is to take one garlic tablet or capsule (600-900mg) once per day.

6. Heart Diseases
Garlic oil decreases levels of low density lipids or bad cholesterol, which is helpful for certain types of heart disease. Most importantly, it also lowers the total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the body. The chemicals present in it, promote formation of HDL cholesterol.

7. Cancer
The clinical studies have established that the allyl sulfur, a chemical present in the garlic, can stem or inhibit the cancer development. Garlic oil benefits can be observed in prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer and stomach cancer. It has the ability to inhibit or prevent colon cancer.

8. Toothaches
Garlic's antibacterial, analgesic, and anesthetizing properties can help cure toothaches. Simply put some garlic oil or a piece of crushed garlic clove directly onto the affected tooth and the gum for instant relief.

9. Warts
Garlic's ability to fight infections and bacteria makes it an effective cure for warts and other skin problems.

• Take a fresh clove of garlic and cut its tip off.
• Rub the cut area of the clove directly onto the wart for a few seconds.
• Repeat this each night before going to bed until the wart disappears.

If you feel any kind of irritation or strong burning sensation, simply rinse the area with water.

10. Other
Garlic oil supplement can be ingested to treat infections caused by bacteria and fungus because of the antifungal and antibacterial properties of the garlic. It can be especially used to treat staph infections (MRSA) and candidiasis due to yeast infections. Using garlic oil for ear infections or common cold and sinus infections can prove helpful. Its role as an antioxidant enables us to get rid of the free radicals, which can disturb metabolic activities and can cause cancer. Chemicals present in garlic oil are also known to strengthen the immune system and inhibit the spread of cancer cells.

Ginkgo Biloba Health Benefits

Ginkgo Biloba is an herb derived from the maidenhair tree. It is well known for its Antioxidant and detoxifying properties. Ginkgo Biloba is one of the oldest plants that have been used on herbal and natural medicine. However, this plant was known to grow only in parts of Asia and therefore was used in China in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chinese cooking. Both the leaves and seeds were and are still used as an extract to provide the supplement Ginkgo Biloba.

Although Chinese herbal medicine has used both the ginkgo leaf and seed for thousands of years, modern research has focused on the standardized Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), which is made from the dried green leaves. This standardized extract is highly concentrated and seems to be more effective in treating health problems (particularly circulatory ailments) than the non-standardized leaf alone.

More than 40 components from the ginkgo tree have been identified, but only two are believed to act as medicine flavonoids and terpenoids. Ginkgo leaves contain two types of chemicals (flavonoids and terpenoids) believed to have potent antioxidant properties. Flavonoids are plant-based antioxidants. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that flavonoids protect the nerves, heart muscle, blood vessels, and retina from damage. Terpenoids (such as ginkgolides) improve blood flow by dilating blood vessels and reducing the stickiness of platelets. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals compounds in the body that damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Free radicals are believed to contribute to health problems including heart disease and cancer as well as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Antioxidants such as those found in ginkgo can help neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.

How does it work?
Ginkgo seems to improve blood circulation, which might help the brain, eyes, ears, and legs function better. It may slow down Alzheimer’s disease by interfering with changes in the brain that interfere with thinking.

Ginkgo seeds contain substances that might kill the bacteria and fungi that cause infections in the body. The seeds also contain a toxin that can cause side effects like seizure and loss of consciousness.

There are various conditions where Ginkgo has been used to help, showing beneficial effects in all, these are;

Arterial circulatory problems - This condition can cause blood clots and stop or restrict the blood flow to important parts of the body and organs like the heart. Ginkgo can help to stop blood clots forming and help to keep a healthy circulation system.

Cerebral atherosclerosis - This condition is when there is hardening and blockages of the arteries. Ginkgo can help to relieve these symptoms by softening the arteries and helping to unblock the blood vessels.

Cerebral edema - This condition is where the body tissue contains a high amount of fluid. This condition can affect the vessels, and Ginkgo can help to relieve this fluid tension in the blood vessels.

Cochlear deafness - This condition causes progressive deafness within younger adults, and is usually inherited. When this condition affects the blood vessels Ginkgo has been known, and suggested to help the blood vessels return to normal reliving some symptoms like tinnitus.

Diminished sight - Sometimes when sight is affected by blood vessels Ginkgo can help to relieve some blindness that is suffered. Not many studies have been done on this particular condition on whether Ginkgo is effective. Ginkgo's qualities to help blood vessels return to normal could help with particular sight problems.

Impairment to memory/ability to concentrate - Ginkgo has been noted in some clinical trials to aid memory. There has been extensive research on this factor, but many people try taking Ginkgo to try and help aid their memory. It helps to increase the blood flow to the brain which is usually the common cause for brain and memory conditions.

Arterial obstruction - Ginkgo helps to restore the natural blood flow in blocked arteries. It is used widely used to help treat conditions where this appears, and studies have shown positive effects that Ginkgo has had as a treatment.

Reynard's disease - This condition is when the hands and feet are exposed to the cold and can not warm back up again. This is because the blood vessels are not flowing properly to these extremities. Ginkgo can help to restore the proper blood flow which helps the hands and feet to recover from the cold, helping relieve the symptoms of Reynard’s such as pins and needles and numbness.

Alzheimer's disease - This disease takes away the ability for the person to do every day things. People can lose their memory through this disease, and is a degenerative disease. Ginkgo has been used to help the symptoms of this condition, helping to aid alertness and memory.

Vertigo - Ginkgo has also had positive effects on helping people who suffer from vertigo, by relieving the dizziness, and nausea.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) - Taking ginkgo leaf extract by mouth seems to produce significant relief in breast tenderness and other symptoms associated with PMS when started during the 16th day of the menstrual cycle and continued until the 5th day of the following cycle.

Strokes - Scientists continue to study the prevention and treatment benefits to stroke patients that are attributed to GBE. It's believed that by preventing blood clots from developing and increasing the blood flow to the brain, ginkgo biloba may help stop strokes from occurring. It's also believed that the herb inhibits free-radical damage of brain cells after a stroke.

Other Conditions - Other uses for which ginkgo biloba extract is often recommended include depression, diabetes related nerve damage and poor circulation, allergies, vertigo, short-term memory loss, headache, atherosclerosis, tinnitus, cochlear deafness, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and PMS.

Krill Oil - Benefits and Advantages

Krill are small prawn-like marine crustacean that belong to the Euphausia genus. A certain species, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), is used to make krill oil, which has recently proven to be superior in nutrient content compared to fish oil in many ways. Two of the most important nutrients in krill oil are:

1. Omega-3 fatty acids similar to those of fish oil
2. Phospholipid-derived fatty acids (PLFA), mainly phosphatidylcholine (alternatively referred to as marine lecithin)

How does it work?
Krill oil contains fatty acids similar to fish oil. These fats are thought to be beneficial fats that decrease swelling, lower cholesterol, and make blood platelets less sticky. When blood platelets are less sticky they are less likely to form clots.

Krill oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which is the main reason it's becoming popular as a nutritional supplement. Another reason krill oil is becoming popular is because it contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin. The algae that krill eat produces the bright red pigment astaxanthin that gives krill and other crustaceans such as lobster and shrimp their reddish-pink color.

Krill oil can significantly reduce inflammation, pain, stiffness and functional impairment associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Krill oil is a rich source of unique phospholipid carriers of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), as well as esterified astaxanthin, a carotenoid and antioxidant. Phospholipids are important in protecting membranes from free radical attack. The composition of phospholipids in krill oil appears to be optimal to offer such protection.

The unravelling of the exact mechanism of action is a multifactorial project which is still underway. The significantly dominant omega-3 to omega-6 ratio (15:1) in krill oil may partially explain the anti-inflammatory effects. The balance of polyunsaturated (essential) fatty acids in the body is critical for the maintenance of healthy cell membranes and hormone regulation.

The balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is important. When long-chain omega-6 fatty acids predominate in the phospholipids of cell membranes, the production of pro-inflammatory substances is encouraged. The presence of omega-3 fatty acids promotes the production of anti-inflammatory substances. The association between phospholipids and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids facilitates the passage of fatty acid molecules through the intestinal wall, increasing bioavailability and ultimately improving the omega-3:omega-6 ratio.

Antioxidants protect our body cells from damage from free radicals, unstable substances that are thought to contribute to certain chronic diseases. Unlike many other antioxidants, astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it could theoretically protect the eye, brain and central nervous system from free radical damage.

Krill oil is used for heart disease, high levels of certain blood fats (triglycerides), high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer, osteoarthritis, depression, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and painful menstrual periods.

Krill Oil - Benefits and Advantages
• Anti-inflammatory properties
Krill oil taken regularly can reduce and relieve general back and joint pains, swelling, inflammatory arthritis and osteoporosis. Because of low body omega 3 levels, inflammation and other diseases take place.

• Brain function and development
Choline and omega fatty acids really enhance normal brain functioning and improve cognition, memory and behavior.

• Regulation of cholesterol
Krill oil is able to reduce the bad cholesterol level by 34%. Alternatively, it increases good cholesterol by 43.5%, 10 times better than the fish oil.

• Better skin
Except improving the look and feel of your skin, krill oil reduces acne outbreaks, lessens the symptoms of psoriasis and just makes skin softer and more hydrated.

• Mental health
The proper amount of krill oil helps people suffering from mood swings, depression, mental disorders and stress.

• Decreasing PMS symptoms
This is the lack of Omega 3 acids in the body that causes severe PMS symptoms in women. The studies have found that a krill oil supplement is effective in relieving both physical and emotional problems.

• Fighting signs of aging
The antioxidants of krill oil are to improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles, strengthen nails and make thicker hair.

• Benefits for Bodybuilding
Omega 3 fatty acids have been established to be beneficial for bodybuilding because of their anabolic properties and potential to increase muscle strength. More details can be found in our “Omega 3 Benefits for Bodybuilding” article. Omega 3s also have anti-inflammatory effects which is beneficial for recovery and joint support.

• Benefits as an Antioxidant
Antioxidants are beneficial for many reasons, including potentially speeding up recovery times and improving general health.

Krill oil has also been used to improve emotional health in depressive patients and helped to aid sufferers of ADD and ADHD. Krill oil can help to treat skin diseases like psoriasis, and dermatitis. It boosts the overall health of your body, but especially benefits the heart, and brain. This supplement also increases your overall energy and vitality, and can minimize unsightly wrinkles. There is research being conducted currently that points to Krill Oil even being able to reduce the signs of cancer.

It’s better than Fish Oil
Krill is better than fish oil because it has less chance of being full of mercury and other heavy metals. The oil of krill is more sustainable than fish oil as well, offering krill oil benefits. Krill is the largest bio-mass in the world. They live in huge numbers in the Antarctic Ocean, and the World Wildlife federation and other agencies make sure that only a small percentage of the krill in the world’s oceans are harvested every year. Supposedly, the harvesting could go on for centuries before there would ever be any concern whatsoever that the environment would sustain any true impact.

L-Lysine - Benefits and Uses

L-Lysine, or lysine, is an important essential amino acid needed by the human body for tissue repair and growth. The body does not produce l-lysine; people can only obtain it from dietary or supplemental sources. It plays a central role in the production of antibodies, hormones and collagen. Some foods that include this essential amino acid are cheese, certain fish, fenugreek seed, eggs, soybeans and nuts.

As a building block of protein, l-lysine benefits the body by contributing to growth. L-lysine benefits also include production of carnitine, a substance that converts fatty acids into energy and lowers levels of LDL (“bad cholesterol”) in the bloodstream. Amino acids like lysine are the building blocks of protein. Lysine is important for proper growth, and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb calcium, and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage.

L-Lysine Benefits
L-lysine is an important and indispensable component of proteins. As previously mentioned, it plays a role in the production of carnitine and collagen. Its benefits include:

Growth and Metabolism
Lysine is important for proper growth, and the body needs lysine to manufacture another amino acid known as l-carnitine, as explained by the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC). Carnitine is mainly synthesized by the liver, and it metabolizes fats, converting fat into energy.

Cholesterol Production
L-lysine stimulates production of cholesterol in the liver, as noted by the nutrition notebook at the Springboard website. Cholesterol is a vital substance in the body, essential for maintaining cell membrane structure and integrity, and for hormone production. Nevertheless, too much cholesterol can lead to accumulation of plaque build-up in the arteries, which can result in stroke or heart attack. The UMMC notes that high doses of lysine supplements can raise cholesterol levels. People taking lysine supplements may need to have their cholesterol checked periodically to make sure the level is in a healthy range.

Bone Health
L-lysine is important for bone health. It helps the body absorb calcium and reduces the amount of calcium removed through urination, according to the UMMC. Because of its role in maintaining calcium in the body, lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. The UMMC notes that laboratory research indicates l-lysine combined with the amino acid l-arginine stimulates activity of bone-building cells and enhances production of collagen. Collagen is important for the health of bones, skin, tendons and cartilage.

Herpes Outbreak Prevention
Although research is conflicting, some studies have found benefits of taking lysine supplements for conditions caused by the herpes simplex virus, according to the UMMC. Taking lysine supplements regularly may help prevent outbreaks of cold sores (fever blisters) and genital herpes. Some people take lysine supplements to help treat eruptions of shingles, a painful rash caused by the herpes varicella-zoster virus, as noted by the University of Michigan Health Center, although there is little research supporting this use.

Other L-Lysine Benefits
• Promotes normal growth and development by increasing collagen formation
• Supports the production of other proteins like enzymes, antibodies and hormones
• Promotes bone health by increasing calcium absorption; prevents osteoporosis or weak bones by reducing bone loss
• Helps convert fatty acids to energy, aiding in weight reduction
• Promotes skin health through increased collagen formation
• May be used to treat viral infections like herpes simplex, cold sores, shingles,human papilloma virus (HPV) infection such as genital warts, and genital herpes
• Can relieve migraines and other types of pain and inflammation
• When taken with other nutrients like vitamin C, it can reduce chest pains (angina) related to heart disease
• Helps in muscle building, when taken with other amino acids like arginine

Sources Of L-Lysine
• The food sources highest in l-lysine include red meat, nuts, sardines, eggs, cheese, beans and milk. Most people get an adequate intake of this amino acid by eating high protein foods. However, certain individuals like vegetarians, bodybuilders or athletes may be at risk for l-lysine deficiency and may require dietary supplements.
• Other sources of l-lysine include supplements sold in health food stores. These are available in a variety of forms such as capsules, tablets and liquid.

Lysine Deficiency
• When there is an inadequate intake of protein through the diet, people can experience certain signs of l-lysine deficiency. Some of these symptoms are anemia, nausea, fatigue, stunted growth and appetite loss. In these cases, l-lysine supplementation may be necessary. Deficiencies can also cause kidney stones.
• People taking high doses of l-arginine, another important amino acid, may also have lower levels of l-lysine.

Symptoms of Lysine Deficiency
When one does not consume enough lysine rich foods, a lysine deficiency may develop. The symptoms of lysine deficiency are as follows:
• Hair Loss
• Appetite Loss
• Agitation
• Dizziness
• Inability to concentrate
• Fatigue and lethargy
• Bloodshot eyes
• Kidney stone formation
• Anemia
• Reproductive disorders
• Stunted growth

Contraindications and Precautions Of L-Lysine
• L-lysine is not FDA approved for treatment of any medical conditions. Before taking l-lysine supplements, people should consult a doctor for its proper use. Dosage amounts may depend upon the condition being treated.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should speak to a health practitioner before using this supplement. Likewise, people who take antibiotics like neomycin or streptomycin should not take this supplement without a doctor's recommendation.
• People who suffer from kidney or liver problems should not take l-lysine.

Too much Lysine in the body can cause problems also. Excessive use of lysine can cause cramps, nausea, and diarrhea. Extremely high levels of lysine can increase cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream.

Milk of magnesia - Benefits of Magnesium Hydroxide

Milk of magnesia, also known by the generic name magnesium hydroxide, is a medicine that is used as a hydrating laxative and an antacid. It is not a dairy product, but rather a milky-white liquid that is made from magnesium hydroxide, purified water, and sodium hypochlorite. This medicine usually relieves uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms within 30 minutes and constipation within six hours.

Considered to be one of the best laxative, when consumed it neutralizes excess of stomach acid by pulling salt or saline solution from the blood into the intestines. This increases the water content which provides a flushing or laxative action within the intestines. Magnesium hydroxide is the most prominent component of antacids, and laxatives hence, milk of magnesia as a laxative interferes with the absorption of folic acid and iron in the body.

Treatment of Stomach Discomfort
Magnesium hydroxide is an alkaline suspension, which means that it is able to neutralize acids. When a patient swallows this medicine, the hydroxide ions in it react with the hydrogen ions in stomach acid, transforming both into water. This makes milk of magnesia effective in fighting excess stomach acid, which can cause indigestion, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. When used as an antacid, the usual adult dose is from 0.02 – 0.05 oz (500 mg to 1,500 mg).

Treatment of Constipation
The magnesium in milk of magnesia is what makes it an effective laxative. The mineral ions draw water into the intestinal tract from the surrounding body tissues. This extra water softens and increases the volume of feces, which stimulates the nerves in the intestines and causes a bowel movement. For the treatment of constipation, an adult dose is between 0.07 – 0.18 oz (2,000 mg and 5,000 mg).

Milk of Magnesia Laxative - Benefits
As an antacid, it functions by the process of neutralization, where the hydroxide ions from the Mg(OH)2 combine with acidic H+ ions produced in the form of hydrochloric acid by parietal cells in the stomach to form water. As a laxative, milk of magnesia functions by absorbing Mg2+ inadequately from the intestinal tract, so that it extracts water from the surrounding tissues by osmosis. This increases the water content that softens the feces and improves the volume of feces in the intestine, which automatically stimulates the intestine mobility. Along with this, Mg2+ ions release CCK (cholecystokinin, a peptide hormone of the gastrointestinal system responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein), which causes intraluminal accumulation of water, electrolytes and intestinal motility.

Other Benefits of Milk of Magnesia
• Milk of magnesia laxative is available in the form of chewable tablets, capsules, or as liquids having variety of added flavors. It is not only used to relieve constipation or other gastro-intestinal problems, but also helps in alleviating indigestion and heartburn.
• It is used as a non-antiperspirant armpit deodorant.
• It also works against canker sores (aphthous ulcer) when utilized topically.
• If you have symptoms of seborrhea and dandruff, it works as a folk remedy when applied and massaged few minutes before hair washing.
• It is also beneficial in treating acne or oily skin when applied topically. All you have to do is to apply it on your face, allow it to dry and then rinse it. In fact, its oil-blotting properties makes it the best primer before applying makeup. • Therefore, all those who suffer slight increase in oil production during the summer months should keep milk of magnesia on hand for those seasonal outbreaks and other skincare issues.
• Milk of magnesia is also considered to be useful for treating seborrheic dermatitis, a drying and flaking of the skin similar to dandruff but often occurs on the face.
• For industrial applications, powdered magnesium hydroxide, being a non-hazardous alkali, neutralizes acidic waste waters and plays an important role in the Biorock method of building artificial reefs.

How to use Milk of Magnesia Oral ?
Take this product by mouth as directed. For the chewable form, chew thoroughly before swallowing. For the liquid form, shake the bottle well before each dose. Carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. If you are taking this medication for constipation, drink a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) with each dose. Follow all directions on the product package, or use as directed by your doctor. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Milk of Magnesia Ingredients
This compound is referred to as an alkaline suspension, and goes through a lot of chemical process before it is formed. In its most basic form, this compound is form by metathesis reaction from the following ingredients:

• Magnesium salts
• Sodium
• Potassium
• Ammonium hydroxide
• Magnesium oxide
• Beryllium hydroxide
• Calcium hydroxide
• Barium hydroxide
• Strontium hydroxide

However, its main active ingredients remain to be magnesium hydroxide, with inactive ingredients such as sodium hypochlorite and purified water.

Precautions
Milk of magnesia can react with certain antibiotics, and may be harmful to fetuses or newborns. Patients who are taking antibiotics, or who are pregnant or nursing, need to consult with a medical professional before taking this type of medicine. As with any other medication, milk of magnesia does occasionally produce side effects, including weakness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Most patients tolerate it well, so those with severe side effects should be sure to contact a healthcare provider. All patients should only use magnesium hydroxide for up to one week, unless otherwise instructed by a medical professional.

Patients with severe or chronic kidney disease are typically advised to limit their intake of magnesium, so they should only use milk of magnesia under the orders of a healthcare provider who is familiar with the condition. Healthy kidneys remove this mineral from the body quickly while unhealthy kidneys may not be able to effectively do so. This could lead to toxic levels in the blood, a condition called hypermagnesemia.

Availability
Milk of magnesia is sold over the counter. It comes in the traditional liquid suspension, as well as chewable tablets and capsules, and may be unflavored or flavored, usually in mint or cherry. Health professionals often recommend taking it with a full glass of juice or water to help with absorption.
