Dosage – No toxicity or side effects of riboflavin have been demonstrated.

 

Potential applications – Riboflavin deficiency – characterised by; weakness, fatigue, mouth pain and tenderness, eye burning and itching, personality changes, cheilosis, angular stomatitis, dermatitis, corneal vascularisation, anemia, and brain dysfunction.

Riboflavin is a potent antioxidant and offers particular benefits in protecting fatty tissues in the body such as the brain. These antioxidant effects have been shown to be beneficial in cases of SICKLE CELL ANEMIA. Research has shown that riboflavin supplementation has led to significant improvements in iron status, (with increased total iron-binding capacity and serum ferritin) and glutathione levels.

Riboflavin appears to be beneficial in treating lactic acidosis, common in AIDS patients, and in mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders such as infantile lactic acidosis, and skeletal myopathy / cardiomyopathy.

 

Known contraindications – None known. Although correction of deficiency is warranted, individuals with cataracts should not use more than 10mg riboflavin per day due to photosensitivity effects.

 

Interactions – The conversion of vitamin B6 to its active co-enzyme form P-5-P may be impaired in riboflavin deficiency. The conversion of riboflavin into its active coenzyme form is inhibited by thyroid and adrenal insufficiency; psychotropic drugs such as amitriptyline, chemotherapeutic drugs, and antimalarial drugs. Alcohol causes riboflavin deficiency by interfering with both its digestion and intestinal absorption.

 

Useful links – Migraine – Flax seed oil, quercetin complex, pycnogenol/grape seed extract.

 

Note Riboflavin supplementation can result in a harmless yellow discolouration of the urine – it is thought that this effect is due to bacterial action on riboflavin, with metabolites then being absorbed and then excreted in the urine.

Aloe Vera Comfort

Aloe Vera Comfort Feelhealthy

Aloe Vera Comfort

Digestive complaints are the body’s way of communicating, through the language of symptoms, that something is wrong. These symptoms may occur due to inflamed mucosal linings of the gastric tract coming into contact with irritants such as stomach acid, spicy foods, alcohol and side-effects of some medicines, or symptoms may be associated with maldigestion, the inability to digest food. Healthy digestion and absorption of nutrients is dependent upon the secretion of gastric juices which contain hydrochloric acid that not only breaks food down but also destroys pathogens that might be present in or on food. From the age of 50, we tend to produce less stomach acid and this decline continues with age.  Digestive enzymes are often in short supply, made worse by destroying the natural enzymes in raw food by cooking or heating food.

While antacids may give short-term relief from symptoms, their long term effects of disrupting the digestive process can be detrimental as seen in emerging conditions such as allergies, asthma and auto-immune disorders.

The soothing barrier effect from the mucilaginous gel in Aloe Vera Comfort not only helps to relieve these symptoms without interfering with acid production, but also, by communicating messages to cells, helps calm the inflammatory processes created by these symptoms.

Symptoms of heartburn, indigestion, bloating and flatulence may also be due to low stomach acid. In this instance, food sits in the stomach for too long, leading to feelings of fullness. Meanwhile the small intestine receives bile waiting to neutralize the acid ’soup’ coming from the stomach.  Bile is both extremely alkalizing and caustic at the same time.  The bile creates a spasm just below the stomach that causes the bile to shoot up into the stomach, giving the first symptom of discomfort.  The main symptom of indigestion occurs as the stomach then attempts to douse the bile with a second production of acid from depleted cells.

How does Aloe Vera help during Stress?

Stress is the experience of any perceived threat (real or imagined) to one’s mental, physical or spiritual well-being.  The ‘Stressed-on/fight-or-flight’ predictable, physiological hormonal response, irrespective of the nature or cause of the stress, stimulates the body to produce energy, concentration or agility to be able to flee from immediate danger.  Problems begin when a stress response overreacts or continues unabated even when it’s no longer needed as is often the case with emotions such as fear, or anger,  or if it isn’t balanced or supported on a day-to-day basis. Cortisol slows down some processes like the digestive & immune systems, that would be temporarily unnecessary in an extreme emergency situation, but in daily life, all important for managing wellness. Stress is implicated, if not a cause, of most diagnosed diseases.

By regularly having Aloe Vera Comfort with the glyconutrients and other important properties found within the inner gel of the Imported Aloe barbadensis, Miller fresh leaves, you can proactively support the body through stress before digestive imbalances even begin. Then, by learning to identify what your stressors are, you can look at various strategies to take control of some stress-inducing circumstances and how to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally during these times.  If you already suffer from indigestion, heartburn or irritable bowel, you will soon feel the benefits by regularly taking Aloe Vera Comfort Solution and together with integrating lifestyle changes, you can help your body to cope better under stressful circumstances.

 

Solgar One a day EPA/GLA 60

Feelhealthy Solgar One a day EPA GLA

One A Day Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA) – A Natural Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Fish Oil including EPA and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) plus GLA from Borage Oil by Solgar Vitamin and Herb.

One A Day EPA and GLA – Fatty acids are the basic structural units of lipids. Lipid is the general term which refers to dietary fat. The body can synthesise many fatty acids. However, those which it cannot manufacture in adequate amounts must be obtained from the diet, and are termed essential fatty acids (EFAs) Fatty acids can be saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated depending on the degree to which the basic carbon chain of the molecule is filled with hydrogen. The two essential fats are defined as linolenic- an omega-3 fatty acid, and linoleic acid – an omega-6 fatty acid.

EFAs are found most abundantly in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils such as canola, sunflower and safflower oil. Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil containing both essential fats in appreciable amounts. Flax, also known as linseed, is nature’s richest source of omega-3 fatty acids. Cold salt-water fish such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel and salmon are also rich in omega-3 polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.

It has been recognised that EFAs have profound beneficial effects on the body and influence hormone production, immunity and cardiovascular health. Deficiencies of these various fatty acids have been associated with hormonal imbalance and degenerative disease. Fatty acids maintain the structure and function of the cellular and sub-cellular membranes. Cholesterol transport, degradation and removal from the body is regulated by EFAs, and prostaglandins, which function to promote smooth muscle contractions, reduce blood pressure, regulate gastric secretions and influence other hormones, are influenced by them. EFA’s are important for normal growth and they keep the skin and other tissues youthful and supple via their lubricating capacity

SUGAR, SALT AND STARCH FREE

Each softgel capsule provides: Pure Fish Oil Concentrate 1000mg providing 180mg of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and 120mg of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) which are omega-3 polyunsaturates. Borage Oil providing 45mg of gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA) 197mg Vitamin E (25iu d-alpha tocopherol) 17mg Soybean oil 9mg. As a food supplement for adults, one (1) softgel capsule daily, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Vitamin E has a role in the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This ‘oxidative stress’ appears to be a major factor in many human diseases. Vitamin C plays an essential role in numerous areas of human health. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones, cartilage, skin, gums and teeth.  Vitamin C also enhances iron absorption and the normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin C aids in the maintenance of the immune system including during and after intense physical exercise. Vitamin C contributes to normal psychological function, the functioning of the nervous system and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This ‘oxidative stress’ appears to be a major factor in many human diseases.

Zinc is a mineral essential to many body processes including the maintenance of normal cognitive function, vision, fertility and reproduction, hair, skin and nails and the immune system. Zinc also contributes to the normal metabolism of fatty acids and macronutrients. Iron is essential for the healthy production of haemoglobin and red blood cells. This formula contains iron bisglycinate, a form of iron that is gentle on the digestive system. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and contributes to normal cognitive function.

Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails, the normal function of the immune system, normal thyroid function and for the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This ‘oxidative stress’ appears to be a major factor in many human diseases.

B6 (pyridoxine) contributes the regulation of hormonal activity, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the energy-yielding metabolism, to normal psychological function and the functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to normal homocysteine metabolism and red blood cell formation.

Copper contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the maintenance of normal connective tissues, to the normal pigmentation of hair and skin, the normal function of the nervous and immune systems, and for the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This ‘oxidative stress’ appears to be a major factor in many human diseases.

Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Folic acid (folate) contributes to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue, the normal function of the immune system, normal psychological function, and the processes of normal homocysteine metabolism, amino acid synthesis, cell division and blood formation.

B12 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and red blood cell formation, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the energy-yielding metabolism, to normal psychological function and the functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B12 also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
