NUTRITION JOURNALS: VITAMINS (PT 1/2)

HOW MANY VITAMINS ARE THERE?

- there are thirteen (13) essential vitamins; vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pathogenic acid (B5), biotin (B7), and folate (B9). these are the ones i'll focus on in this past, and it will be a longer post.

WHAT IS VITAMIN A?

- vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that supports your immune system, vision, reproductive health, and fetal growth. there are two forms of vitamin A; preformed vitamin A which are found in things like dairy, liver, and fish, and provitamin A carotenoids which can be found in fruits, vegetables, and oils. - The recommended daily amount of vitamin A is 900 micrograms (mcg) for adult men and 700 mcg for adult women.

WHAT IS VITAMIN B6?

- vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy. Food sources of vitamin B6 include poultry, fish, potatoes, chickpeas, bananas and fortified cereals. - vitamin B6 has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and helps your body to make DNA, hemoglobin, and neurotransmitters. - in addition to low iron, low vitamin B6 has been linked to anemia, which i dont imagine i need to tell yall is incredibly common in disordered people. - because B6 is connected to neurotransmitters, it can help regulate mood and even aid sleep. One study showed that higher vitamin B6 intake is associated with lower depression and anxiety risk in females, but not males. - vitamin B6 also helps your body maintain normal levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that helps to build proteins. - vitamin B6 supplementation specifically has been shown to improve body composition – your ratio of lean muscle to fat. it has also been linked with higher muscle mass and lower body fat levels. in particular, vitamin B6 supplementation has been linked to lower-body weight loss, with a reduced amount of fat across the hips and waist.

WHAT IS VITAMIN B12?

- vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function and the production of DNA, the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information. - sources of vitamin B-12 include poultry, meat, fish and dairy products. Vitamin B-12 is also added to some foods, such as fortified breakfast cereals, and is available as an oral supplement. - some studies suggest that vitamin B12 could affect body fat and metabolism. one review concluded that vitamin B12 plays a key role in fat metabolism, noting that a deficiency could be linked to increased fat accumulation and obesity. take this with a grain of salt, though, because there is limited research on the topic. - vitamin B12 plays a role in serotonin production, so a deficiency may be connected with clinical depression. this may feel irrelevant, but your physical and mental health are really complexly connected. taking care of one can help improve the other.

WHAT IS VITAMIN C?

- vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a nutrient your body needs to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones. vitamin C is also vital to your body's healing process. additionally, it is an antioxidant that helps protect your cells against the effects of free radicals- molecules produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation from the sun, x-rays or other sources. - vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, berries, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli and spinach. - vitamin C helps your body to absorb iron in foods like beans and spinach, who's bio-availability is lower. - although vitamin C doesn't necessarily cause weight loss, it seems to be related to body weight. getting sufficient amounts of vitamin C increases body fat oxidation during moderate-intensity exercise. - another critical function of vitamin C is synthesizing carnitine, which transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria that produce energy.

WHAT IS VITAMIN D?

- there are different forms of vitamin D, including ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). vitamin D is found in fish, eggs, and fortified milk. It's also made in the skin when exposed to sunlight. during periods of sunlight, vitamin D is stored in fat and then released when sunlight is not available. - your body can only absorb calcium, the primary component of bone, when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D also regulates many other cellular functions in your body. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuro-protective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity. - vitamin D might play an important role in regulating mood and decreasing the risk of depression, and some studies suggest there may be a link between vitamin D and obesity, though more research is needed to verify this.

WHAT IS VITAMIN E?

- vitamin E is a nutrient that's important to vision, reproduction, and the health of your blood, brain and skin. vitamin E deficiency can cause nerve pain (neuropathy). - foods rich in vitamin E include canola oil, olive oil, margarine, almonds and peanuts. You can also get vitamin E from meats, dairy, leafy greens and fortified cereals. - getting enough vitamin E may help prevent oxidative stress and cellular damage. oxidative stress occurs when there’s an imbalance between your body’s antioxidant defenses and the production and accumulation of compounds called reactive oxygen species (ROS). this can lead to cellular damage and increased disease risk.

WHAT IS VITAMIN K?

- vitamin K is actually a group of compounds, with the most important ones being vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. vitamin K1 is obtained from leafy greens and some other vegetables. vitamin K2 is a group of compounds largely obtained from meats, cheeses, and eggs and synthesized by bacteria. - vitamin K's key role is to help heal injuries through blood clotting and strengthen bones by making four proteins among the 13 that are needed for blood clotting (coagulation) and osteocalcin.

My Upcoming Research Study: The Effects of Yogic Breathing on Chronic Sinus Symptoms

This week I have been putting together a presentation that I will be giving about my new research project. It's a study of a yogic breathing technique called Bhramari Pranayama as an adjunctive treatment for people with chronic nose and sinus issues.

Essentially the premise is this:

Our sinuses produce nitric oxide, which then in turn effects our nasal airway and our lungs. The nitric oxide can improve nasal airflow, up-regulate mucociliary clearance, and enhance anti-viral immune activity. Additionally, humming actually temporarily increases the amount of nasal nitric oxide released by about 15 fold. Therefore my study is intended to examine the effects of this pranayama technique that utilizes humming on patients with chronic nose and sinus symptoms.

Typically for patients with these symptoms, we start them out on a steroid nasal spray (flonase) as well as sinus irrigations (something like a neti pot).

I always hear from people outside the medical field about how no one studies these things--non-pharmacologic interventions, the beneficial effects of non-proprietary supplements, or other alternative medical options. People often think that if big pharma (or someone expecting to profit) isn't paying for a study, it cannot happen.

This really isn't true likely 90-99% of the time. The problem isn't funding. I'm conducting a prospective randomized control study with human subjects in order to evaluate the benefits of yogic breathing for patients--something that if found to be helpful will bring in no additional monetary profit for anyone. How much will my study cost? $0.

But do you know what it did require?

Two things: interest and opportunity.

Firstly I, a resident physician, had an idea. I learned about nasal nitric oxide and thought it was cool. I read about how humming has a bolusing effect by transiently increasing nitric oxide output by 15x. And then I recalled that there are pranayama techniques that utilize humming.

With my interest piqued, I spoke with one of my bosses, an attending physician at an academic medical center. He's the head of our Rhinology and Skull Base Neurosurgery division and he is cool as hell. He's all about healthy lifestyle and benefiting patients as much as possible. He loved the idea immediately.

And lastly we roped in a medical student. Med students are very helpful with doing the grunt work of collecting the data into spreadsheets, running the statistical analyses and such. Sometimes they bring some excellent ideas of their own as well. In return for their work, med students are often given a significant portion credit upon publication of the study and this allows them the opportunity to add some scholarly publications to their CV. I don't really need more publications under my name, but they do.

My point with sharing all of this is that people often claim there are health benefits to doing or imbibing certain things but that they'll never be studied because there's no money to be made. And it may be true that private companies such as those in the pharmaceutical industry may not have such interest; their existence in a capitalistic economy relies on profitability. But this is part of why academic institutions are so important--because learning and discovery is part of the essential mission there. Profit doesn't dictate their avenues of research.

When it comes to the study and validation of alternative/complimentary medicine, the focus really needs to be on raising awareness and interest. Talk to your doctors, nurses, physician assistants, etc. The good ones listen. The younger they are, the more likely they are to be open-minded about it too (the older ones are hit or miss--some are so cool and some are very old school).

Just some errant thoughts this week as I work on my slide deck.

Skin - emergency (graphic)

My hands were pretty dry all of today. At night after washing them I got pretty itchy and almost developed a flareup. Thankfully I was able to calm it down and relieve it by washing my hands under hot water (bad habit but it was an emergency). I applied Cerave healing ointment on my problem areas (hands, wrist, neck, mouth, and ears) and went to bed at around 11:30.

Then I woke up at around 12:30 with some itchiness on my mouth and ears, mostly my mouth as I felt some oozing on the corners.

I applied zinc oxide cream to relieve the discomfort, but I felt like I needed something stronger. I did end up itching my ears and they started to bleed and ooze.

It felt like ants crawling on my skin. Anytime there's a sensation of that, along with oozing upon itching, is a sign of staph. So I applied the tacrolimus and antibiotic on it. I know I'm treating the staph internally, but I'll probably benefit from doing so externally.

I did feel very uncomfortable, and the oozing causes even more itchiness. I applied this mix on my right thumb which has a lot of cuts. But I know I'll feel better after this. Thankfully it's not a case where I felt a sudden need to slather the tacrolimus on my hands. In fact I didn't, just a bit with the antibiotic mixed in right on my thumb that has cuts.

I have a red patch on my wrist and neck. These are no longer itchy and there is no open skin or oozing/bleeding. So I'll just let those heal on their own, and I did apply the Cerave healing ointment onto it. As long as those don't ooze then I'm happy.

I know healing is not linear and will flare up here and there. As long as there is a net positive - I will get a flareup here and there, but after applying some topicals it will recover quickly and won't be as inflamed as it was in the winter.

I've looked at pictures of my skin from last year. I remember having inflammation, but it wasn't this bad. I really don't know what triggered it to be this bad. I really do not want to live the rest of my life like this either. This is no way to live.

People who have healed themselves said it took 6-12 weeks, so really 2-3 months. So I'm not going to expect everything to heal by week 4 (next week) even though some of the supplements are a 4 week (~30 day) supply.

So yeah I had some flaring, it's okay. It's been worse in the past. With topical application it should recover by tomorrow. The fact that there is inflammation and infection externally means that I can benefit from sort of anti-inflammatory (not steroids) and anti-bacterial topical. I might even consider applying more antibotic to my ears because it looks and feels like impetigo. Kind of like when I had a (sorry tmi) skin fungal infection and kept on applying ketoconazole. So I'll see how the topical antibiotic can help here and there, even if the anti-inflammatory isn't extremely necessary. Afterall my condition is due to bacterial imbalances/overgrowth, which is what's driving the inflammation. I'm just a bit worried about longterm antibiotic use because it can cause resistance and kill good bacteria. But in my case it can be helpful.

So like I said I'm on week 3, almost a month. I'm really going to need more like 6-12 weeks on this, but I'll see with my doctor 2 weeks from now. Overall there is a net positive where my skin is clearing up, and the inflammation and flaring is occasional. It's not perfect but it's much better than January-March.

Update: my ears stopped itching, my mouth is still itchy but I'm not sure what ultimately caused it as my mouth is usually not this inflamed. I'll even consider applying more tacrolimus and antibiotic to these spots when I wake up tomorrow.

Moringa Capsules: A Natural Solution for Chronic Inflammation

What is Chronic Inflammation?

Chronic inflammation is a silent but potent force affecting millions of people worldwide. It differs from acute inflammation, which is your body’s natural response to infection or injury. Chronic inflammation, however, persists over time, and when left unchecked, it can contribute to a range of health problems. Conditions like arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and even some cancers are linked to this ongoing inflammatory response.

If you’re struggling with these conditions, you might feel like inflammation is a constant challenge. While there are medical treatments available, many people are turning to natural solutions for relief. One such solution is moringa, a plant that has been used for centuries to combat inflammation. In this blog, we’ll explore how moringa capsules, such as those offered by Pura Vida, can be a natural and effective option for fighting chronic inflammation.

Introduction to Moringa

Moringa, scientifically known as Moringa oleifera, is often referred to as the “miracle tree” or the “drumstick tree” due to its exceptional nutritional profile and medicinal properties. Native to parts of Africa and Asia, it has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, from sore throats to digestive issues. Today, moringa is available in various supplement forms, including capsules, powders, and teas.

Moringa’s ability to support overall health, particularly its anti-inflammatory effects, is a reason why it’s becoming a staple in many wellness routines. Pura Vida’s Moringa Capsules are a convenient way to tap into the plant’s powerful health benefits. Let’s dive into the science behind moringa and how it can help manage chronic inflammation.

What is Moringa and its Nutritional Profile?

Origin of Moringa

Moringa has been valued in cultures around the world for centuries, particularly in Africa and Asia. Traditionally, almost every part of the moringa tree—its roots, bark, leaves, flowers, and seeds—has been used for food and medicine. In fact, moringa’s leaves are packed with nutrients that contribute to its powerful anti-inflammatory effects.

One of the reasons moringa is considered a superfood is because of its dense concentration of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The leaves of the moringa tree, which are typically consumed as a powder or in capsules, are especially rich in:

Vitamin C – An antioxidant that helps protect the body from oxidative stress.

Vitamin A – Supports immune function and skin health.

Iron – Essential for blood health and energy production.

Calcium – Important for bone health.

Potassium – Helps with fluid balance and nerve function.

In addition to these vitamins and minerals, moringa also contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which are particularly known for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Key Active Components for Inflammation

Moringa’s anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to its rich array of bioactive compounds, which work synergistically to reduce inflammation in the body. Some of the key components that contribute to moringa’s powerful anti-inflammatory effects include:

Flavonoids: These potent antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, highly reactive molecules that cause oxidative damage and inflammation in cells. By combatting free radicals, flavonoids help reduce chronic inflammation, which is often linked to conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Polyphenols: These compounds modulate the body’s inflammatory response by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, proteins that trigger inflammation. By reducing cytokine production, polyphenols help lower inflammation at the cellular level.

Chlorophyll: Found abundantly in moringa leaves, chlorophyll is known for its detoxifying properties. Beyond cleansing the body, chlorophyll also has anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce swelling and pain associated with chronic inflammation.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Moringa contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid that is particularly effective in reducing inflammation, especially in joints. Omega-3s help reduce the inflammatory response and promote joint health.

Together, these active components make moringa a potent natural solution in managing chronic inflammation.

How Moringa Supports Chronic Inflammation

Anti-inflammatory Mechanisms

Moringa’s anti-inflammatory effects are primarily attributed to its ability to influence inflammation at the cellular level. Chronic inflammation often results from the body’s immune response to prolonged injury, infection, or stress, and can contribute to conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. Moringa’s bioactive compounds help reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines—proteins that stimulate inflammation. By regulating the immune system, moringa helps balance inflammation and prevent it from becoming chronic. Additionally, moringa’s high antioxidant content plays a crucial role in reducing oxidative stress. Free radicals can damage cells and tissues, worsening inflammation, but moringa neutralizes these harmful molecules. By addressing both the inflammatory response and oxidative damage, moringa offers a dual approach to managing chronic inflammation, promoting better overall health and reducing the risk of inflammation-related diseases.

Scientific Evidence

Numerous studies have demonstrated moringa’s effectiveness in reducing inflammation. For example, a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology found that moringa leaf extract helped lower inflammatory markers in animal models, suggesting its potential to reduce inflammation in the body. Similarly, research featured in Phytotherapy Research showed that moringa leaf powder significantly reduced inflammation and joint pain in people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. These studies provide strong evidence that moringa may be an effective natural remedy for managing inflammation. While more research is needed to fully explore the long-term effects and mechanisms, the current findings indicate that moringa can be a powerful ally in reducing chronic inflammation. With its anti-inflammatory properties, moringa offers a promising alternative to conventional treatments, especially for those seeking a natural supplement to support their health and manage inflammation-related conditions.

Benefits of Moringa Capsules Over Other Forms

Convenience and Dosage Control

Moringa is available in several forms, such as powders, teas, and capsules. While all these forms can provide health benefits, moringa capsules offer several advantages, particularly when it comes to convenience and dosage control.

Pura Vida’s Moringa Capsules are easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Instead of measuring out moringa powder or preparing tea, you can simply take a capsule with water. This makes moringa capsules a convenient option for people with busy lives or those who travel often.

Another advantage of capsules is that they offer a consistent, measured dose of moringa, making it easier to track your intake and ensure you’re getting the appropriate amount of the active compounds that help fight inflammation.

Bioavailability

One challenge with plant-based supplements is ensuring that your body absorbs and utilizes the nutrients effectively. Pura Vida’s Moringa Capsules are designed to enhance bioavailability, meaning your body is better able to absorb the beneficial compounds in moringa. This makes capsules a great option for anyone looking to maximize the effectiveness of their supplement.

Other Benefits of Moringa

In addition to its anti-inflammatory effects, moringa provides a range of health benefits. Some of the other notable benefits include:

Energy Boost: Moringa is rich in iron, which helps combat fatigue and increase energy levels.

Immunity Support: The high vitamin C content in moringa helps bolster the immune system, making it easier for your body to fend off illnesses.

Digestive Health: Moringa can help improve digestion by promoting healthy gut flora and alleviating issues like constipation.

Skin Health: The antioxidants in moringa help protect the skin from oxidative stress and aging, making it a great supplement for those concerned about skin health.

When you take Pura Vida’s Moringa Capsules, you’re not just helping manage inflammation—you’re also supporting your body in other important ways.

Moringa capsules can provide significant benefits for a wide range of people, especially those suffering from chronic inflammation. Here's a breakdown of some key groups that may particularly benefit from adding moringa to their wellness routine:

1. People with Arthritis

Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are inflammatory conditions that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. Chronic inflammation in the joints can make movement difficult and painful. Moringa’s powerful anti-inflammatory compounds can help reduce these inflammatory markers, potentially easing joint pain and improving mobility. Regular use of moringa capsules may help manage the discomfort associated with arthritis, allowing for a better quality of life.

2. Individuals with Heart Disease

Chronic inflammation plays a significant role in the development of heart disease. It can contribute to the build-up of plaque in arteries and promote other cardiovascular problems. By reducing inflammation in the body, moringa may help protect against heart disease, lower the risk of heart attacks, and promote overall cardiovascular health. Moringa’s ability to reduce oxidative stress and regulate blood pressure adds to its heart-protective benefits.

3. Those with Autoimmune Conditions

Autoimmune disorders, like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues, leading to inflammation. Moringa’s immune-regulating properties can help modulate the immune system, balancing inflammatory responses and reducing the risk of autoimmune flare-ups. Moringa’s compounds, including polyphenols and antioxidants, may support those with autoimmune conditions by reducing inflammation at a cellular level.

4. Athletes and Active Individuals

Athletes or anyone who engages in intense physical activity often experiences inflammation due to muscle strain or injury. Moringa's anti-inflammatory effects can support muscle recovery and reduce soreness, helping athletes stay at their peak performance levels. Additionally, its antioxidant properties assist in quicker recovery and lower the risk of overuse injuries.

5. Older Adults

As we age, joint pain and inflammation become more common. Moringa’s ability to reduce inflammation and support joint health makes it a valuable supplement for older adults looking for relief from age-related inflammation and discomfort. Regular use of moringa capsules may enhance joint flexibility, reduce pain, and promote an active lifestyle in older individuals.

Incorporating moringa into a daily routine can offer a natural and effective way to manage inflammation and support overall health. Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, or general inflammation from physical activity, moringa capsules can be a valuable addition to your wellness regimen.

Personalizing Moringa Use

Before starting any supplement, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider, especially if you have a chronic condition or are taking medications. Your doctor can help tailor the dosage to your specific needs and ensure that moringa will complement your existing health regimen.

1

L-Theanine

This natural amino acid, known as L-theanine, is present in mushrooms and tea. It has the ability to create a sensation of fullness, aiding in weight loss efforts. Research studies have indicated that regular intake of L-theanine supplements can lead to improvements in attention, focus, sleep quality, mood, and relaxation levels.

Additionally, L-Carnitine provides various other health benefits, including regulating blood glucose and sugar levels, enhancing insulin sensitivity, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. It can also help alleviate symptoms of insomnia, nervousness, muscle fatigue, and thyroid issues.

3

Chromium

This essential trace mineral, chromium, plays a crucial role in the body by enhancing lipid metabolism, as well as processing and synthesizing proteins and carbohydrates. It also improves insulin sensitivity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that supplements containing chromium can assist individuals in managing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. As highlighted in the SDGLN Java Burn review guide, chromium works naturally in the body to reduce body weight by breaking down fat.
