Female Athletes at Risk for Bone Loss
Another study confirms that female athletes involved in significant aerobic exercise, such as running and swimming, have lower bone density. While the researchers seem puzzled by their findings, this is not hard to understand.Read More: athletes, Bone and Joint Helper™, branch chain amino acids, Calcium, Daily Bone Xcel™, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Protein Plus™, Daily Protein™, Daily Super Pack™, Exercise, Iron, Iron bisglycinate, Super Mini-Multi™, whey protein
High Homocysteine – A New Risk Factor for Bone Loss
Homocysteine is naturally produced by the liver during protein metabolism and then cleared with the help of the B vitamins like folic acid, B12, and B6. It is well known that if homocysteine levels build up due to B vitamin deficiency (which is common) then a toxic level of homocysteine is reached that causes cholesterol to form plaque and interferes with neurotransmitter function making depression more likely. A new study is showing that high levels of homocysteine can accumulate in bone by binding to collagen. This in turn causes abnormal collagen linking, resulting in poor bone formation. On top of that, the homocysteine also acts to stimulate osteoclasts – the type of bone cell involved in bone loss.Read More: anti-inflammatory, B Vitamins, Bone and Joint Helper™, bone formation, bone loss, Calcium, Daily Bone Xcel™, Daily Super Pack™, high quality nutritional supplements, homocysteine, nutrients, osteoclasts, Super B Complex, toxic drugs, Vitamin D
Calcium and Heart Health – Flawed Study Alarms Women
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal has insinuated that calcium intake in elderly women may increase the risk for a heart attack. The study involved 1471 postmenopausal women (mean age 74). The story has been spread by major news media and has confused and needlessly worried many women who are taking calcium for their bone health. The study contains numerous flaws and therefore its conclusion is not reliable.Read More: Bone and Joint Helper™, bone loss, Calcium, Calcium AEP, citric acid, Coral Calcium, Daily Bone Xcel™, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Super Pack™, DHA, elderly women, flawed study, magnesium, postmenopausal, Tri-Cal, Vitamin D
Calcium in Teenage Girls Builds Bones
A new study highlights the significant gains to be made by consistent calcium supplementation, gains that are lost when calcium supplementation is stopped. Maximizing bone development during teenage years is vital for a woman’s later-life risk for osteoporosis. Indeed, the failure to maximize optimal bone formation during teenage years is lost ground that is difficult to make up.Read More: Bone and Joint Helper™, Calcium, Calcium AEP, Coral Calcium, Daily Bone Xcel™, girls, osteoporosis, supplements, teenagers, Tri-Cal
Folic Acid Important for Bones
An interesting 5 year Italian study of postmenopausal women found that the rate of bone loss correlated to levels of folic acid deficiency. It is already known that elevated homocysteine (often due to folic acid deficiency) increases the risk for bone fractures. This study found that folic acid deficiency alone, independent of homocysteine, was a key link.Read More: B Vitamins, bone loss, Calcium, calcium folinate, deficiency, Folic Acid, homocysteine, osteoporosis
Vitamin D and Calcium Help Kill Colon Cancer Cells
There are more reasons to take vitamin D and calcium than just bone health. It has been known for some time that vitamin D and calcium are associated with less colon cancer. Researchers at Emory University have now identified key gene signaling that helps explain how these nutrients work to help kill cancer cells and protect your health.Read More: Calcium, colon cancer, Vitamin D
Guess What? - A Fat Stomach Craves Food
It was just discovered that belly fat cells make an appetite signal which increases as you become overweight, causing you to crave more food, which makes you even fatter in the abdominal area, in turn causing you to crave even more food.Read More: appetite, Calcium, Calcium AEP, cravings, NPY
What’s in Your Multiple Vitamin? Detecting Real Quality. Part 1 – Minerals
Junky vitamins are often passed off as quality, and many times endorsed by a physician or celebrity. There are many tricks that low quality supplement companies use to hide their poor quality, spending more money on marketing than on what is under the hood.Read More: Calcium, Coral Calcium, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, magnesium, minerals, quality
Calcium, Fat, and Weight Loss – Resolving the Confusion
A variety of reports in the past decade have indicated that calcium may be a helpful weight loss nutrient. This prompted the dairy industry to widely promote milk as a weight loss food. On May 5, 2008 a press release reports on an article that will soon appear in the Nutritional Reviews journal that states “neither dairy nor calcium intake promotes weight loss.” For consumers this simply becomes another “butter vs. margarine” or “are eggs good or bad” dilemma. Extra calcium is one tool that can actually help many people to lose weight in a healthy way.Read More: agouti, Calcium, Calcium AEP, Coral Calcium, dairy, milk, NPY, Tri-Cal
Calcium and Vitamin D for Fat Burning
A new study in overweight women shows that 900 mg per day of supplemental calcium increases their ability to burn fat for fuel. This ability is enhanced by vitamin D status.Read More: Bone and Joint Helper™, Calcium, Calcium AEP, Coral Calcium, Daily Bone Xcel™, fat burning, Tri-Cal, Vitamin D
