Glutathione and Antioxidant Supplements

Archive for December, 2009

okay so this how it goes:

i am talking L-Glutathione from vitamin shoppe in order to increase my immunity, right?

so my eyes are hazel, but when i take them, the brown in my eyes is slowly shrinking.

why are my eyes doing this?

is this a side effect?
oh boy i said shrinking my eyes omfg i meant to say my brown part on my eye color is shrinking

godammit why do i always say questions incorrectly

i am no expert, but if the brown in your eye is changing it is probably because it is supposed to due to your DNA, your eye colour won’t stay the same forever, your DNA probably has that. But are you sure that it started changing when you started taking the pills. Maybe you should talk to you doctor if you already haven’t. Maybe the pills aren’t right for u

Well, I’m a twenty year-old college student who has a somewhat light-brown skin tone (I’m an ethnic Bengali, sooo…Indian-looking?), but I’ve really decided that I would do basically anything to look attractive and feel self-confident about myself, and to be actually *wanted* by pretty girls.

So anyway, I want to be white and actually be attractive…now my question is, what’s the safest way to do that without going all Michael Jackson-y lol ))

I’ve heard that laser skin bleaching was one option, and also glutathione supplements might help. What are some good suggestions?
Oh, and I might see if I can get my eye color changed from boring brown to blue or something, but probably not since my health insurance most likely won’t cover any of it!
No I’m not attractive at all. It’s the truth. I just look in the mirror…and I understand everything…
I just want to be attractive, period. Like, I just want to be white.
That’s such a lie! I mean, girls do say I have an amazing personality, but what’s the point if I’m just going to be friends with them?

You can lighten you skin color by laser and bleaching. Your eyes color an be changed by wearing blue contact lenses. Your lenses might be covered under a health insurance; but the laser resurfacing won’t be.

Are the results with Meladerm® permanent? Do I have to continue using the product after I achieve my desired results?

If you are using Meladerm® to reduce the appearance of hyper-pigmented areas (skin that is darker than your natural skin color), the results will generally be permanent. Some users find it necessary to use small periodic applications from time to time to maintain the effects of the product. Sun exposure should be limited to maintain results. We recommend the use of a sun block of SPF 30 or higher. Extended use may cause excessive skin lightening.

If you want to whiten your complexion, look for a cream that contains extrapone nutgrass. Unlike other whitening ingredients, extrapone nutgrass does not cause irritation. You can enjoy its whitening effects without experiencing any harmful side effects.

If you are looking to lighten your dark skin to a lighter skin tone you might find that black skin bleaching cream can solve your problem.

To whiten dark underarm -

Take the pure juice of Aloe vera and Marigold flower petals crushed and

mixed with Aloe vera ,apply this under the arm on the dark skin at

night bed time keeping the arms wide apart at right angles or above

the head for 2 hours .In the morning you can wash this with little warm

water and dry with a clean soft cotton towel.

Tomato juice mix with little turmeric and honey and apply for 30 -45 min every day and u will feel the difference

In some country there is a roots name bengkoang/tuberous root/Yam Bean. It traditionally used as a mask to lighten the skin.

Why on earth would one want to whiten one’s skin? I suggest you just stay out of the sun and take good care of your skin. It’s no sin to have dark skin. Being fair isn’t more beatiful or anything like that. Don’t be ashamed just because you have dark skin. Just take care of your skin, make sure there aren’t any blemishes or scars, stay out of the sun, eat well and treat your body nicely. Always be greatful with what you have.

Besides, I don’t think it’s a very good idea that you should whiten your skin. It’s not very healthy unless you do it professionally (which isn’t cheap) and if you are looking for cheap solutions I’m afraid white is not the colour you will end up looking. I’ve seen people who do unbelievable things to the skin and put unusual mixtures and concotions on their skin for a ‘cheap and quick fix’. They usually end up with skin so red they look like shrimps.

Furthermore, you’re looking to whiten your skin in too short a time. One week? A drastic change like that isn’t going to happen. Even if it does, i’m sure it’s not going to be healthy for you.

However, if you really do want to whiten your skin, see a specialist who can prescribe you something. If not just go to a pharmacy and get a whitening cream or gel, though it won’t come cheap and you certainly aren’t going to be white in a week’s time.

I really do hope you change your mind and learn to live with your skin colour and love yourself more.

Let’s face it… nobody likes age and dark spots on their skin, particularly on their face, scalp and neck.

Age and dark spots can happen for a number of reasons. The most obvious is natural skin aging, you’re either going to get them or you won’t, each of us have different skin pigmentations and varying types and levels of melanin.

Melanin is a class of compounds found in plants, animals and humans. The most common form of biological melanin is eumelanin a black brown polymer. Another common form is pheomelanin a red brown polymer largely responsible for peoples red hair and freckles. Melanin is also excellent at absorbing UV radiation because of its photochemical properties, and keeps the generation of free radicals to a minimum.

Regardless of its benefits Melanin isn’t an agespot reducer, in fact your skin needs a little help to accomplish this task.

Thankfully, there are new ingredients in certain natural skin care creams that have been shown to make a difference in helping to fade dark and age spot away.

The following ingredients have been instrumental in helping to reduce dark age spots:

Extrapolate Nutgrass – The nutgrass root has been shown in clinical trials to inhibit the formation of the skin pigment melanin.

Natural Vitamin E – A powerful anti-oxidant, shown in many scientific studies to reverse the effects of aging on the skin. It helps to prevent age spots appearing and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Cynergy TK – It contains functional keratin which is similar to the basic protein found in human skin. It can stimulate and rejuvenate new skin cells. Using Cynergy TK is almost like applying a liquid skin to your face and body. It improves skins brightness giving your face an even more creamy youthful appearance.

Grapeseed Oil – Another powerful anti-oxidant that creates an invisible film on your skin to keep moisture in. It is rich in linoleic acid and other natural essential oils, and also contains natural vitamin E.

Shea Butter – An emollient used in many good quality skin creams. It helps reduce blemishes and brown spots; it can also help soften the skin.

In conclusion, it’s clear that using skin care creams containing the above natural substances can be useful as an age spot reducer.

Ever wonder what natural compounds account for the aroma, flavor and color of vegetables and fruits? The answer is flavonoids. Thousands of them.

Interest by the public in flavonoids has been increasing due to the growing reputation of food antioxidants that can have beneficial roles in disease prevention. The number of hits on Google for flavonoids is 2.52 million, and on PubMed, an online database just for medical research, there are over 34,000 original publications on flavonoids.

Flavonoids are a large family of phenolic compounds synthesized by plants as pigments that attract pollinators, repel pests and protect plant cells both from ultraviolet radiation and internal production of reactive oxygen species during photosynthesis.

As a group, flavonoids are the most associated phytochemical class with antioxidant values in plant foods.

Health scientists believe that people gain some of these same benefits by consuming flavonoid-rich plant foods, an area of active scientific study.

Current research trends on flavonoids

? Scientists are keenly pursuing numerous potential health effects of flavonoids associated with fruit and vegetable-rich diets. Even in people without disease, benefits may occur for the cardiovascular system, brain, joints, skin, and urinary tract.

? Many of the biological effects of flavonoids seem to come from their ability to modulate communication between cells, a new mechanism of flavonoid action in addition to the more traditionally accepted antioxidant activity.

? Scientists are examining flavonoids as “biological response modifiers”, a role where they may alter the body’s responses to viruses, allergens, bacteria, carcinogens (cancer agents), inflammatory agents, and oxygen radicals.

? Flavonoid intakes through the diet may help prevent cancer in humans.

? Flavonoid consumption may lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases, as in Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease.

? While higher intakes of flavonoid-rich foods have been associated with reduced risk of some chronic diseases, it is not known whether isolated flavonoid supplements or extracts confer the same benefits as flavonoid-rich foods.

6 Major Classes of Dietary Flavonoids

Although flavonoids are related by a common chemical structure (called in chemistry, a “phenolic ring”), there are at least 4,000 variations in flavonoid structure and therefore more than 4,000 individual flavonoids in the plant kingdom. To manage such diversity, it is useful to group these compounds into 6 major classes, each having members with similar structure. The following groups have been devised by food chemists and give a place to start educating the public. The names of classes are similar because the chemical structures are closely related.

1. Anthocyanidins. Also called flavonals. Parent structure to anthocyanins found in red, blue, purple and black berries and grapes. Present in dark wines. Examples: cyanidin, delphinidin, petunidin, peonidin, malvidin, pelargonidin.

2. Flavanols. Found in black and green teas, berries, dark chocolate. Single structures (”monomers”) are called catechins whereas multiple-unit structures (”polymers”) are called proanthocyanidins, tannins, epigallocatechin, and theaflavins. May contain subgroups of ellagic or gallic acid. This class is also named flavan-3-ols.

3. Flavanones. Characteristic of citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruit, lemons), members of this group include naringenin, silybin and hesperidin.

4. Flavonols. Found in all plants with bright colors, such as berries, kale (dark green), broccoli and bell peppers, this group includes quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, rutin and isorhamnetin.

5. Flavones. Represented by apigenin and luteolin, flavones are found in herbs (chamomille, parsley) and subterranean plants like celery and radishes.

6. Isoflavones. The signature group from soybeans and soy products (tofu, soy milk), isoflavone members include genistein and daidzein.

Less Antioxidant Activity Than We Hoped?

Due to their favorable chemical structure for serving as antioxidants, flavonoids are expected to be effective scavengers of free radicals in the human body, just as they are in the test tube (”in vitro”).

However, even with very high flavonoid intake through the diet, blood and intracellular flavonoid concentrations in humans are around 100-1,000 times lower than concentrations of other known antioxidants, such as vitamin C, melatonin or glutathione. Part of this effect occurs because flavonoids do not stay in the blood or tissues, but are filtered by the kidneys into urine for excretion. Scientists would say from these circumstances that flavonoids are not very “bioavailable”.

Also, it has been found that most circulating flavonoids are actually flavonoid substructures cleaved off from the parent molecule by stomach acids and metabolism. Naturally, some of these new, smaller flavonoid molecules have lower antioxidant activity than the parent.

For the reasons above, the relative contribution of dietary flavonoids to the body’s antioxidant protection is less than predicted from their chemical structure and antioxidant activity in vitro.

Flavonoids Affect Communications Between Cells

Although initially thought that flavonoids would have antioxidant roles as their main biological function, new scientific evidence from cell culture research indicates that flavonoids can modify signaling activity between cells. Flavonoid concentrations needed to change cell signaling pathways are considerably lower than those required to serve antioxidant roles.

Changes in cell-to-cell signaling capability require enzymes known as kinases to sensitize target proteins (”receptors”) at the receiving cell. Cell culture experiments indicate that flavonoids may affect chronic diseases by selectively inhibiting kinases.

This means that flavonoids may alter receptor sensitivity in certain diseases, such as in cancer by these candidate mechanisms:

1. Cancer cells depend on growth stimuli to enlarge and spread; flavonoids may inhibit cancer cells from communicating these signals to one another.

2. Cancer cells proliferate rapidly and lose their ability to undergo normal cell death signals (”apoptosis”; pronounced eh-poe-toe-sis); flavonoids may inhibit both the proliferation process and apoptosis.

3. Cancerous cells invade normal tissue aided by enzymes called matrix-metalloproteinases; flavonoids block the activities of these metal-containing enzymes.

4. Invasive tumors must also develop new blood vessels by a process known as angiogenesis to support their rapid growth; flavonoids inhibit angiogensis.

5. Tumor growth may depend on mechanisms of inflammation to grow, proliferate and resist apoptosis; flavonoids are well-established as anti-inflammatory agents.

Ongoing research will reveal additional characteristics of flavonoid biology in health and disease. It seems safe to conclude that the surest way consumers can gain the health rewards promised by flavonoid research is to consume plentiful plant foods containing them.

This should be an easy task as such foods are the most colorful and best-tasting fresh produce in the store — Berries, red delicious apples, citrus fruits, black and green teas, red, orange, yellow and dark green vegetables, and even dark chocolate!

There are many types of food allergies, any of which can be a very serious issue with dangerous consequences if not addressed properly. In the world of natural healing this is accomplished not just by simply eliminating from your diet what is causing the allergic reaction, especially since the cause may not be immediately known, but also by incorporating key nutrients into your diet. There have been many books written on this subject, whether you’re healing the body naturally or using them in combination with an Rx; supplements play a key role.

Front and center in the war from within is your immune system. It’s what fights off disease, but when weakened it can be an open door to many unwanted guests. Certain vitamins and minerals are used to help boost the body’s immune system. This is crucial since your immune system is already being taxed simply dealing with an allergic reaction. Some of the key players used to increase immune function within the body are Vitamins A, C, D, E, as well as Zinc.

Certain flavonoids such as Quercitin are used for their ability to lessen the severity of the body’s reaction to allergens. It’s their ability to reduce any and all inflammatory response caused by the allergen, as well as their antioxidant affect that makes flavonoids such an important nutrient.

Lets not forget about proper digestion when it comes to allergies. When the stomach lacks what it needs to properly break down foods during digestion, this undigested food can enter the blood stream causing your immune system to treat it as foreign bodies, resulting in an allergic reaction. There are many supplements used in aiding digestion, whether it’s enzymes such as bromelain, or probiotics (the good bacteria in your stomach).

Whatever the allergy there are many reasons to turn to supplements, but certain allergies can make taking supplements a bit tricky. Take soy for instance. If you suffer from a soy allergy you probably already know soy is in most all processed prepackaged foods, but it’s also important to be vigilant when taking supplements. This is primarily due to the incorporation of vitamin E in the form of mixed tocopherals, which are usually derived from soybeans. Now although I’ve been told that with the process used, there should be no soy remaining in the end product, I consistently have a reaction when vitamin E (soy) is on the label. I have seen soy in one form or another in many popular supplements; omega-3 (especially liquid form), all multivitamins, Vitamin D, and many of the probiotics on the market.

So what to do? In my case I have been able to work around this by maintaining a healthy diet first and foremost, as well as scrutinizing all labels and not just the basic ingredients; all product labeling! I have found allergy free supplements for some of the culprits mentioned above, but others I have not. I am a firm believer though, that nothing beats a healthy diet. Whole foods can be your best source of most all nutrients necessary for optimal health. Although I do take supplements, I always consult an expert in the field of natural healing. This way I get that extra boost of what my body really needs, rather than just walking blindly through my local health food store.

Antiaging nutrition… is there such a thing? Is there nutrition out there that will simply halt the antiaging process? We get told to eat well, fruit and vegetables in particular and drink plenty of water but is that enough?

I figured recently that I must be doing something right especially when I was mistaken for a spritely thirtysomething. In actual fact, I’m a spritely fortysomething and have religiously stuck to an antiaging nutritional game plan for the past ten years. No, I haven’t discovered the fountain of youth but combining good nutritional practice with regular exercise has enabled me to provide my body with the right fuel and energy that has effectively slowed the antiaging process down to a walk.

Foods Don’t Cut It Nutritionally

I’m a big believer in providing nutritional value both inside and outside my body. Eating the right foods is great but come on, food’s nutritional value has been diminished considerably over the past fifty years for a variety of reasons including better and smarter farming practices along with food preservation techniques. Unless you’ve got the time to maintain a regular fruit and vegetable patch in the backyard then obtaining optimal amounts of nutrition from elsewhere is vital.

Free radicals have become somewhat of a buzz term in the world of nutrition recently and for very good reason. Free radicals, if not neutralised on a regular basis through antioxidants, will run rampant in our bodies and cause oxidative stress and damage to our cells. Over time, this damage will continue to escalate and eventually lead to any number of degenerative disease including heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis and not to mention the escalation of the aging process. Antioxidants supplied through our foods are just not enough to combat these marauding invaders so we need to “call in the cavalry”: in my case, extra antioxidant and mineral supply.

Antioxidants And Minerals

Here’s a shortlist of things to look for in a vitamin and mineral supplement for long term good health. Remember, taking one source of antioxidants such as the B family and ignoring the rest isn’t good enough. For optimal nutrition and protection against the war being fought within our bodies, look for a balanced structure of vitamins and minerals.

- A wide spectrum multivitamin. Not just any multivitamin formulation off the shelf. Preferably one that is produced and manufactured in-house and contains not just 10, 20 or 30 ingredients but the full antioxidant and mineral range. This is important.
- Be careful if your multivitamin doesn’t come in a separate form for antioxidants and a separate form for minerals.
- It should be readily absorbed by the body.

Sometimes you may need to probe a little deeper to find the right product. Antiaging nutrition starts with you. Find a game plan and if it works, stick with it. I did!

Instead of buying the Acai that has been all over the news, and internet, I bought an Acai supplement from Walmart. It is just an over the counter antioxidant. It is 500mg Acai. So far, I have been taking 2 in the morning and was wondering if there was another way I should take it? One in the morning and before I got to bed?
When should I take them because I must take 2 a day. Thank you.

Generally, it’s best when taken by the bottle’s recommendations whether that be 1 twice a day or 2 once a day.
That being said, either one of those would still be around the same benefits for something like Acai, but some people do get some energy from it so you might possibly have some trouble taking it right before bed or something. Try out a couple different ways and see which way you like best and which works best for you… two in the morning would be perfectly fine if you’d like. Good luck and I hope I helped!

I am a vegetarian because I care about animal suffering, however I also care about the environment and my health. Lately, I have been drinking a bottle vitamin water everyday – mainly the XXX flavor which means triple antioxidants. Vitamin Water of course contains many vitamins including B12. If I drink this consistently everyday, would this be a good alternative to regular vegetarian vitamins?

You should not drink that stuff. It’s a scam!

Vitamin Water – The Biggest Scam

What is most wrong and downright sinister about vitamin-enriched waters is how especially deceptive they are.

At least with Diet Coke Plus, the average health conscious consumer might make the connection that if “Diet Coke” is unhealthy, anything close to it can’t be that much better.

Not so with vitamin water. Everyone knows that you can’t outdo water for a healthy beverage, and vitamins and minerals added to water make it sound like a panacea for good health.

Plenty of consumers are falling for it – a new “vitamin enriched” brand of water seems to be hitting the shelves every day.

Let’s take a good look at the first three ingredients of one of the most popular ones, Glaceau Vitamin Water -which was bought by the Coca Cola Company, by the way:

* Distilled, deionized, and/or reverse osmosis water: this is water that has had any and all natural minerals removed from it, and can create a highly acidic condition in your body, leading to severe mineral deficiencies, and even heartbeat irregularities2. The addition of minerals and vitamins of inferior quality does not counter-effect the damage.
* Crystalline Fructose: This is just another name for high-fructose corn syrup, a low quality, cheap, and extremely dangerous sweetener linked to severe health issues including obesity, and fatty liver disease. A new commercial on TV has a couple lying on the grass in a park. The young woman is trying to give her young man a popsicle. He asks her if she is poisoning him. Her answer is ridiculous. Basically she cons him by saying that fructose is as good as sugar and fructose is made from corn. How bad can that be? He falls for it but please, don’t you.
* Cane Sugar: More processed sugar. Since when do you need processed sugar to get your vitamins? Not only does sugar feed cancer, viruses and the pathogenic yeast, candida,that all help quickly age and even kill you, it has many other undisputed health hazards.

In addition to these top three ingredients, Vitamin Water also lists:

* Citric Acid: Contrary to common belief, the citric acid found in so many processed foods today is not from citrus fruits at all. In fact, it’s a food additive and preservative usually produced from corn, and it can cause serious reactions in MSG sensitive people3. People with yeast infections are very sensitive to it and should absolutely avoid it. And who doesn’t have a yeast infection today?
* “Natural” Flavor: The food industry knows you like the sound of “natural” better than “artificial”. Unfortunately, whenever you see “natural flavor” on a food label it means there is some lab processing involved, which makes the distinction between “natural” and “artificial” suspect.

Once again, the addition of synthetic vitamins and minerals to what is essentially sugary, or artificially sweetened water, is not a recipe for good health.

hi, Mr. Smiley here and i was wondering if diet 7 up (the one above) is bad for you. It doesen’t have caffeine which is a huge factor to me because im a runner, and it has antioxidants. Anyway if i do drink it its only on rare occasions like once every week or so and its only this type of soda, since i don’t drink caffeine drinks

I avoid artificial sweeteners. Aspartame, Splenda (sucralose), and saccharine, etc. I use Stevia, honey, and organic sugar once in a while. But I guess a little of the Diet 7UP is okay. =)

I am taking SAM-e complete, 400 mg once per day. I bought the Big 100 Vitamin B complex at GNC. Is the Big100 enough Vitamin B complex to prevent the buildup of homocysteine?
"Once a SAMe molecule loses its methyl group, it breaks down to form homocysteine. Homocysteine is extremely toxic if it builds up within cells. But with the help of several B vitamins (B6, B12 and folic acid), our bodies convert homocysteine into glutathione, a valuable antioxidant, or "remethylate" it back into methionine.

"SAMe and homocysteine are essentially two versions of the same molecule—one benign and one dangerous. When our cells are well stocked with B vitamins, the brisk pace of methylation keeps homocysteine levels low. But when we’re low on those vitamins, homocysteine can build up quickly, stalling the production of SAMe and causing countless health problems. High homocysteine is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke. During pregnancy, it raises the risk of spina bifida and other birth defects. And many studies have implicated it in depression. "

The GNC Big 100 contains b-12 100 mcg, folic acid 400 mcg,b6 100mg, thiamin,riboflavin,niacin,biotin,pantothenic acid,inositol, and choline bitartrate.

Thanks for any help on this…just wanna see if i need to take more vitamin b complex.
oldtimekid:
you said"Part of that depends on the rest of your diet, but yes, those three B Vitamins do help to control the Homocysteine and those are good supplemental doses of the B Vitamins.
Most of the Homocysteine formulas I’ve seen have closer to 500 mcg of B-12, 400 mcg of Folic Acid (both common doses), and 50 mg of B-6 (lower than normal dose, but sufficient for it’s purposes). In other words, the B-6 and Folic are good, but you could take extra B-12 or just switch to one of the many Homocysteine complexes on the market (either GNC or a better brand… just make sure they are from a company with good quality).

You should be perfectly fine taking those, but if you notice any cardiovascular issues come up down the line, you could always add some TMG (Trimethylglycine) since that would help convert the Homocysteine more. Good luck and I hope I helped!"

My reply: So I can get a homocysteine forumulation at GNC? ok. I do have a tricuspid heart valve regurgitation FYI.

Your main methyl donors are b-12, b-6, and folic acid. Thats whatcha need break down homocystiene.

Many people take 800mcg of folic acid alone for just this purpose. Plenty of places sell combinations of b-12, b-6, and folic….I would try one of those…and returning the b-100 you bought….besides, it will make you pretty hungry most likely (thats a side effect for many people when taking b-complex)

What I would suggest is that you take a multi that has a decent b-complex in it (most of the b’s around 25 mgs) and then add a folic acid…..at least, thats what I would do in your spot

Good Luck

Edit: I can’t read your comments while adding an edit – so I hope that I address most of them….most formulas sold at GNC are so so….I’ve never really been able to find usefully designed formulas there….vitaminshoppe.com and iherb.com have served me much better.

This is the one that I suggest for that purpose…
http://www.iherb.com/Carlson-Labs-Tri-B-B-bull-6-Folate-B-bull-12-360-Tablets/9939?at=0
You just want something along those lines….Shoot, its common enough of a formula that you might be able to ask the pharmacist at your drug store for something like it. You might not know it, but folic acid is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs [yes, thats right, drug - at 1,000mcg its a prescription drug] So he will know about it, especially considering that pharmacists are doctors of drugs [Thats their speciality]

Furthermore, your cardiologist will know ALL about all of these vitamins (surprisingly, cardiologists tend to know the most about vitamins, because many of them are prescribed cardiological drugs at higher doses) so I’m assuming he might be able to suggest a specific brand….with valve issues along those lines, its a good idea to keep homocystiene low, however, you need to also manage overall cholesterol counts as well.

Good Luck
