do you have migraines or headaches, and are you poor, have shitty/no insurance, doctors who won't listen to you, or just don't want to waste hundreds of dollars on an appointment? well, i went to a neurologist and received this piece of paper which i probably paid way too much for, so you can have it for free.

American Headache Society Complementary and Integrative Medicine Section: Patient Education Kit for Migraine (Recommended Supplements for Migraine Prevention) <- link

the supplements may or may not work, but either way this should save you time and money. you can buy these supplements at most drug stores or online.

below the cut i'm adding a transcript of the pdf in case the link breaks.

stuff my doctor told me:

i should take magnesium glycinate, riboflavin, and CoQ10

magnesium glycinate should be taken at bedtime

didn't recommend feverfew for me, can't remember why

if these supplements don't help, the next step is prescription meds which include Nortriptyline, Topamax, or Emgality

Nortriptyline is an anti-depressant, if you're already on an anti-depressant then don't take this

Topamax is an anti-seizure med also used to prevent migraines. it can make birth control pills less effective

Emgality is administered once a month with a self-administered shot (something like an epi pen). this is what my doctor recommended I take if the supplements don't work. it specifically targets the migraine receptor, so it has very few side effects

PDF transcript:

AHS Complementary and Integrative Medicine Section: Patient Education Kit for Migraine

Recommended Supplements for Migraine Prevention Dietary supplements are commonly used for the prevention of migraine. The recommended supplements have all been studied and found to be effective in the prevention of migraine. If you are pregnant or have other medical conditions, please check with your physician about whether you should take these.

Magnesium

Mechanism: Important in energy production, muscle and nerve function, and may play a role in cortical spreading depression, which is an underlying migraine mechanism.

Evidence: Two large randomized controlled trials found magnesium to be beneficial for migraine prevention.

Dose: 600mg per day. Some people prefer to start at a lower dose to ensure tolerability. Formulations include magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate, magnesium citrate (better absorbed than oxide or sulfate), and magnesium glycinate (less likely to cause diarrhea than other formulations)

Side effects: May cause soft stools or diarrhea, but could help constipation.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)

Mechanism: Involved in mitochondrial energy production, which may play a role in migraine

Evidence: Five clinical trials, including one large randomized controlled trial, have shown positive effect on migraine.

Dose: 400mg per day

Side effects: Turns urine bright yellow/orange and may cause diarrhea.

Feverfew

Mechanism: Parthenolide, the active ingredient, may prevent migraine through its vascular smooth relaxation and anti-inflammatory properties.

Evidence: Four out of six studies showed benefit for migraine prevention

Dose: 50-300mg twice daily

Side effects: Nausea, bloating, and mouth ulcers. Feverfew can cause uterine contractions and is not recommended during pregnancy.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Mechanism: Involved in energy production and helps maintain mitochondrial integrity.

Evidence: Two randomized controlled trials showed benefit over placebo.

Dose: 300mg daily (can be split into 150mg twice a day)

Side effects: Insomnia, fatigue, nausea, or diarrhea.

Other Supplements Butterbur demonstrated benefit for migraine in two large randomized controlled studies; however; preparations may contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are toxic to the liver. Due to safety concerns, butterbur was removed from the market in Europe and is currently not recommended. Melatonin and the combination of folic acid/B6/B12 have mixed results for migraine prevention.

Brain Curd #102

Brain Curds are lightly edited flash fiction - practically first drafts - posted daily (haven't missed one yet!) and sometimes written with the express intention of being terrible… but, you know, in an endearing way. Please like and reblog if you enjoy - the notes keep me going!

Reggie barged in unannounced as Clint sat on the couch with his laptop, drafting an email.

“Clint! Clint! You’re not gonna believe this!”

“What?”

“They’re back!” He dumped a grocery bag onto the coffee table, forming a mountain of snacks.

“Oh my God,” Clint said, sorting through the pile. He pulled out a flat, rigid package. “Cereal Straws! I always loved these!”

“And Oreo Cakesters! Remember them?”

“Yeah, weren’t they banned for being full of trans fat?”

“I think so, yeah,” he took a large bite of one. “But I’m pretty sure they just use palm oil now.”

“Nice!” Clint crunched into a Froot Loop Straw. “This takes me back, man. Even the way it coats the roof of my mouth in some kinda wax.”

“For real, dude. Classic.”

Clint searched the pile again. “Hey, weren’t there any of the Apple Jacks ones? Those were my favorite.”

“Sorry, I didn’t see any.”

“The Cocoa Krispies ones weren’t even that good. Why’d they bring back those instead of the Apple Jacks ones?”

Reggie shrugged.

Clint leaned back and pondered. “You know what I wish they’d bring back? Yogos. Remember those?”

“Aw, hell yeah! Those were the best! My mom used to put them in my lunch every day back in Elementary school. But you know what was even better?”

“What?”

“Chocodiles.”

“Never heard of ‘em.”

“You - what?!? Bro, you missed out! Okay, listen, basically it’s a Twinkie, right? But they cover it in chocolate.”

“So?”

“It stays moist, man! The chocolate holds in all the moisture so it doesn’t get stale!”

“Don’t Twinkies last forever?”

“That’s a myth. They start going stale right out of the factory. But Chocodiles don’t. They were goddamn magic. I’d kill for one right now.”

“So… they’re like, your chocolate-covered white whale, huh?”

“Pretty much.”

“I get it. Life hasn’t been the same for me since Altoids Sours were discontinued.”

“Now that I think about it, though…” Reggie stared off into the distance. “There was one snack that really had an impact on me.”

“What was it?”

“Goldfish-flavored Goldfish.”

“You mean… the original flavor? The plain ones? They still make those.”

“No. Goldfish-flavored. They tasted like goldfish. Like the pet, the actual fish.”

Clint grimaced and squinted at Reggie. “You’re fucking with me, right?”any

“No. No, I definitely had them. My mom got them for me after my goldfish died. She said we had to mail him to the Pepperidge Farm upstate so they could turn him into crackers. So he could live forever inside me.”

Clint muttered under his breath. “What the fuck…”

“The crackers came in a package shaped like a coffin. But it was made out of paper, and it had that foil on the inside - you know the foil, right? On the inside of a bag of Goldfish?”

Clint nodded, his eyes wide.

“I opened the package and the first thing I remember was the smell. That smell will stick with me for the rest of my days. It’s almost like walking into a fish market, or a sushi restaurant, but with something else mixed in. Maybe the flour, or the riboflavin…”

“Death?” Clint asked.

“Maybe. Anyway… I ate the whole package, then and there. It took me an hour. My mom wouldn’t let me have water, because she said it might wake him up inside my belly if I drank it. And we couldn’t wake him up before he was all together in my stomach. So I kept eating the crackers.”

“Dude…”

“I began to feel ill halfway through. I wanted to stop, to give up. I thought I might vomit. But then, my goldfish would have been gone forever. Trapped in the void between life and death, wedged between worlds, somewhere in the space between. I started hallucinating - the crackers swam in front of me like I was swimming in a fish tank myself. I realized I was smiling, and the snacks smiled back.”

Clint held his stomach. He too felt ill.

“Tears rolled down my face as I chomped down on each and every last cracker. That was the last of him. My goldfish was gone. He would be part of me forever. Forever, Clint! Have you any idea how long that is to go without something?!?”

“What do you mean?”

“For long years, I have hungered for it! For that missing essence, that exotic flavor I only ever tasted in those Goldfish-flavored Goldfish! I need it! If you think that flavor was death…? Then I must taste death!”

“You - y- you’re scaring me, man!” Clint wedged himself in the corner of the couch. He’d never been this terrified.

Reggie shook his head and grinned, chuckling as tears formed in his eyes. “Don’t be scared, Clint.” He pulled out his pocket knife. “You’ll like it at the Pepperidge Farm.”

Vitamin B2 Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

 Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and nerve function. It is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its vital properties. The market for Vitamin B2 has been growing steadily due to its increasing demand in various sectors. One of the key factors influencing Vitamin B2 prices is its production process, which involves several complex steps, including the fermentation of microorganisms or chemical synthesis. These production processes often determine the price variations in the market.

In recent years, the price trend of Vitamin B2 has been impacted by multiple factors such as raw material costs, production technology, and global supply chain dynamics. The demand for Vitamin B2 has seen a rise, especially in the food and beverage industry, where it is used as a food additive and a colorant in products like beverages, dairy, and bakery items. As the global population increases and more consumers demand processed and fortified food, the consumption of Vitamin B2 in the food sector continues to grow, driving the demand for riboflavin.

The pharmaceutical industry is another significant contributor to the demand for Vitamin B2, particularly in the production of supplements and therapeutic drugs. Vitamin B2 is widely used to treat or prevent riboflavin deficiency, which can lead to a range of health problems like sore throat, cracked lips, and anemia. As the awareness around health and nutrition increases globally, more individuals are opting for supplements to maintain optimal health, which has positively influenced the demand for Vitamin B2. This growing trend of self-medication and preventive healthcare also plays a role in the price fluctuations of Vitamin B2 in the market.

One of the critical factors that determine the price of Vitamin B2 is the availability and cost of raw materials used in its production. Riboflavin can be produced using natural sources, such as yeast fermentation, or through synthetic methods. The cost of raw materials like sugar and molasses used in the fermentation process can fluctuate due to agricultural conditions, which impacts the overall production cost of Vitamin B2. In recent years, the prices of agricultural products have been volatile due to factors such as climate change, crop diseases, and trade policies. These fluctuations in raw material prices can directly affect the production cost of Vitamin B2, causing price volatility in the market.

The production capacity of Vitamin B2 manufacturers is another factor influencing prices. As demand for Vitamin B2 grows, manufacturers are investing in expanding their production facilities to meet the increasing market needs. However, building new manufacturing plants and scaling up production comes with significant investment costs. These costs are often passed on to the consumer, contributing to higher Vitamin B2 prices. Furthermore, production in certain regions may be influenced by local government policies, which can either encourage or hinder the growth of the industry. For example, stricter environmental regulations in certain regions may increase the operational costs of manufacturers, leading to price hikes in the market.

The global supply chain and transportation costs also impact the price of Vitamin B2. Many of the major producers of Vitamin B2 are located in countries like China, India, and Europe, and the distribution of riboflavin worldwide depends on international shipping and logistics. Recent global disruptions in transportation, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have had a significant effect on the supply chain, leading to delays and higher transportation costs. The increased cost of shipping, coupled with limited availability of containers, has contributed to the rising prices of many raw materials, including Vitamin B2. As the global economy continues to recover from these disruptions, the price of Vitamin B2 may stabilize, but logistical challenges may continue to influence price trends in the coming years.

In addition to these factors, the technological advancements in the production process of Vitamin B2 have played a role in controlling prices. The move from traditional fermentation methods to more efficient and cost-effective synthetic methods has helped to lower production costs over time. As production techniques improve, manufacturers are able to produce Vitamin B2 more efficiently, potentially leading to lower prices in the long term. However, the upfront investment required for research and development in production technology can be high, and this cost may be passed on to the market in the short term.

Geopolitical factors also play a role in the pricing of Vitamin B2. Trade policies, tariffs, and international relations can impact the cost of raw materials and finished products. For instance, countries that impose tariffs on the import of raw materials can increase the overall cost of production for Vitamin B2. On the other hand, favorable trade agreements and collaborations between countries can lead to price stability and reduced production costs. Therefore, the global political landscape is a crucial determinant in the pricing trends of Vitamin B2.

Looking ahead, the future price trend of Vitamin B2 is expected to be influenced by the ongoing demand from various sectors, particularly food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The growing awareness of the importance of vitamins and supplements in maintaining good health, as well as the expanding food fortification market, will continue to drive the demand for Vitamin B2. Furthermore, technological advancements in production processes may offer opportunities for cost reduction, which could help stabilize prices. However, fluctuations in raw material costs, transportation expenses, and geopolitical uncertainties may continue to pose challenges, leading to occasional price hikes.

In conclusion, the price of Vitamin B2 is influenced by a variety of factors, including production costs, demand from key industries, technological advancements, and global supply chain dynamics. As the market continues to evolve, it is essential for stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, and consumers, to stay informed about the factors affecting the price trends of Vitamin B2. With increasing global demand and ongoing challenges in the production and distribution processes, the price of Vitamin B2 is likely to experience fluctuations, making it important for businesses to adapt to market conditions and remain competitive.

Are Energy Drinks Dangerous?

Caffeine is the most common stimulant in energy drinks.

Sugar, though harmful, is widely used in energy drinks.

Electrolytes help maintain hydration and energy.

B-vitamins support energy production; avoid synthetic versions.

Taurine and guarana enhance mental and physical performance.

Introduction

Energy drinks have become increasingly popular for providing a quick boost of energy and focus. However, understanding the ingredients is important for evaluating their effects on health.

While some ingredients provide real benefits, others can pose risks if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Caffeine

Caffeine is the primary stimulant in most energy drinks and is responsible for boosting alertness, focus, and energy.

It stimulates the central nervous system, helping you feel more awake. However, too much caffeine can lead to side effects like jitteriness, increased heart rate, and trouble sleeping.

It’s important to monitor your caffeine intake, especially if you consume other caffeinated products like coffee or tea.

Sugar

Sugar is a common ingredient in many energy drinks, used to enhance taste and provide quick energy.

However, it comes with numerous health risks. Excess sugar consumption is linked to weight gain, blood sugar spikes, and metabolic disorders.

While energy drinks offer an immediate rush of energy from sugar, this is followed by a crash. The body doesn’t need sugar from dietary sources since it can produce all the glucose it needs naturally.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are needed for maintaining hydration, muscle function, and energy levels, especially during exercise.

Energy drinks often contain electrolytes to help replenish the body’s reserves, making them useful for endurance athletes or individuals who sweat heavily.

B-Vitamins

Natural vs. Synthetic

B-vitamins (such as B6, B12, niacin, and riboflavin) are essential for energy metabolism and brain function.

Many energy drinks contain B-vitamins to support the body’s energy production. However, it’s important to distinguish between natural and synthetic versions.

Natural food-based B-vitamins are beneficial, while synthetic versions can cause negative health effects over time, such as nerve damage or imbalance in the body’s nutrient levels.

Taurine

Taurine is an amino acid that helps support physical performance and energy production. It’s included in many energy drinks due to its ability to reduce muscle fatigue and enhance endurance.

Taurine may also help improve mental focus during intense activities.

Guarana

Guarana is a plant-derived stimulant that contains caffeine. It is often added to energy drinks to boost energy and mental clarity.

Guarana offers a more gradual release of caffeine compared to synthetic caffeine, making it a popular ingredient in natural energy products.

Ginseng

Ginseng is an herbal ingredient known for its ability to reduce fatigue and enhance cognitive function.

It has been used traditionally for centuries to promote energy, and in energy drinks, it helps improve mental performance and fight tiredness.

L-Carnitine

L-carnitine is an amino acid that plays a role in converting fat into energy. It is often included in energy drinks marketed towards athletes, as it can help improve endurance, recovery, and fat metabolism.

L-carnitine’s role in fat burning makes it a popular supplement for those focused on fitness.

Creatine

Creatine is a compound found naturally in muscles and commonly included in energy drinks for its ability to boost muscle performance.

It helps produce energy for high-intensity exercises and is often used to improve strength, recovery, and muscle mass.

Additional Common Ingredients

Artificial Sweeteners

In sugar-free energy drinks, artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose are often used as substitutes.

While these sweeteners may reduce calorie intake, they come with potential health risks.

Long-term consumption of artificial sweeteners has been linked to metabolic disorders and negative effects on gut health.

Artificial Flavors and Colors

Many energy drinks contain artificial flavors and colors to enhance taste and appearance.

However, these synthetic additives are associated with long-term health risks, including metabolic imbalances and potential neurological effects.

It’s best to avoid products with excessive artificial ingredients whenever possible.

FAQs

What are the best ingredients to look for in an energy drink?

Look for natural sources of caffeine, electrolytes, taurine, and B-vitamins. Avoid drinks with added sugar, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic ingredients.

Are there healthier alternatives to sugar in energy drinks?

Yes, natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit are healthier options compared to sugar or artificial sweeteners.

How much caffeine is safe to consume from energy drinks?

It’s recommended to limit caffeine intake to 400mg per day from all sources, including coffee, tea, and energy drinks.

Why should synthetic B-vitamins be avoided?

Synthetic B-vitamins are less bioavailable and can cause negative health effects, such as nerve damage or an imbalance of nutrients.

Can energy drinks be harmful to long-term health?

Yes, especially those high in sugar, synthetic additives, and excessive caffeine. Long-term consumption can negatively affect heart health, metabolism, and overall well-being

Why Chilgoza Pine Nuts Are the Next Big Thing in Superfoods

In recent years, the world of health-conscious eating has been overtaken by the surge in popularity of superfoods—nutrient-packed foods that provide significant health benefits. While staples like kale, quinoa, and chia seeds have been in the limelight for a while, a new contender has emerged: Chilgoza pine nuts. These small, flavorful nuts, native to the Himalayas, are slowly gaining recognition in the superfood market. Chilgoza pine nuts, also known as Pinus Gerardiana, offer a multitude of health benefits, making them the next big thing in superfoods. In this blog, we'll delve into what makes Chilgoza pine nuts unique and why they should become a staple in your diet.

1. Rich Nutritional Profile

Chilgoza pine nuts are packed with essential nutrients that contribute to overall well-being. These nuts are an excellent source of healthy fats, primarily monounsaturated fats, which promote heart health by helping to reduce bad cholesterol levels. Additionally, they are loaded with protein, making them a great choice for those looking to add plant-based proteins to their diet. Chilgoza pine nuts are also a good source of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut. 

One of the standout features of Chilgoza pine nuts is their high content of vitamins and minerals. They are rich in Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health, boosting immune function, and protecting cells from oxidative damage. They also contain B-vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, which are essential for energy production and maintaining a healthy nervous system. Moreover, Chilgoza pine nuts provide an abundance of magnesium, iron, and zinc—minerals that support bone health, red blood cell production, and immune function.

2. Boosts Heart Health

One of the most compelling reasons to add Chilgoza pine nuts to your diet is their ability to promote heart health. The monounsaturated fats present in these nuts help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while maintaining or increasing HDL (good) cholesterol. This balance is crucial for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, the high levels of magnesium in Chilgoza pine nuts help regulate blood pressure, reducing strain on the cardiovascular system.

Another component that contributes to heart health is the antioxidant-rich Vitamin E found in Chilgoza pine nuts. This vitamin helps protect the heart from oxidative stress and inflammation, which are major contributors to heart disease. By including these pine nuts in your daily diet, you can naturally enhance your heart health and reduce the risk of long-term heart complications.

3. Enhances Brain Function

Chilgoza pine nuts are also known for their ability to enhance brain function and cognitive health. The high levels of healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, are essential for brain development and function. Omega-3s have been shown to improve memory, cognitive abilities, and even mood. In addition to fats, the nuts contain significant amounts of magnesium and B-vitamins, which are important for nervous system health and brain function.

The presence of antioxidants, especially Vitamin E, in Chilgoza pine nuts also plays a role in protecting brain cells from oxidative stress. This protection is vital for reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. By incorporating Chilgoza pine nuts into your diet, you're not only promoting immediate cognitive benefits but also taking steps toward long-term brain health.

4. Supports Weight Management

Many people are concerned with maintaining a healthy weight, and Chilgoza pine nuts can play a helpful role in weight management. Despite being calorie-dense, Chilgoza pine nuts contain nutrients that help with appetite control and satiety. The combination of protein, healthy fats, and fiber ensures that you feel full for longer, reducing the likelihood of overeating or snacking on unhealthy options.

The presence of pinolenic acid, a unique fatty acid found in pine nuts, has been shown to stimulate the release of appetite-suppressing hormones, which can aid in reducing overall food intake. This makes Chilgoza pine nuts an excellent addition to a weight-loss or weight-maintenance diet, as they offer high nutrient density without causing spikes in blood sugar levels. Consuming a handful of these nuts as part of a balanced diet can help you manage your weight while ensuring you receive essential nutrients.

5. Strengthens Immunity

In a time where maintaining a robust immune system is more critical than ever, Chilgoza pine nuts stand out as an excellent natural booster for immunity. These nuts are rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin E and zinc, both of which are essential for maintaining a healthy immune response. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage, while zinc plays a critical role in the production and function of immune cells.

Additionally, Chilgoza pine nuts are a good source of iron, which is important for red blood cell production. Adequate iron levels are essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body, ensuring that all tissues and organs receive the oxygen they need to function properly. By incorporating Chilgoza pine nuts into your daily diet, you can naturally enhance your body's ability to fight off infections and maintain overall immune health.

6. Promotes Skin Health

For those looking to improve their skin health naturally, Chilgoza pine nuts offer several benefits. The high concentration of Vitamin E in these nuts helps protect the skin from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to premature aging, wrinkles, and other skin concerns. Vitamin E is also known for its ability to nourish and hydrate the skin, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.

In addition to Vitamin E, the healthy fats in Chilgoza pine nuts play a role in maintaining skin elasticity and moisture. These fats help keep the skin barrier intact, preventing dryness and irritation. Regular consumption of these nuts can lead to visibly improved skin texture and tone, making them an excellent addition to a beauty-conscious diet.

7. Supports Bone Health

Maintaining strong bones is essential for overall health, especially as we age. Chilgoza pine nuts are rich in magnesium and phosphorus, two minerals that are vital for bone health. Magnesium helps regulate calcium levels in the body, ensuring that calcium is effectively utilized in bone formation and maintenance. Phosphorus, on the other hand, is a key component of bone structure and is necessary for the formation of new bone tissue.

By including Chilgoza pine nuts in your diet, you can provide your body with the necessary nutrients to support bone strength and reduce the risk of osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties of these nuts help protect the bones and joints from inflammation and wear and tear.

8. Aids in Digestion

Digestive health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, and Chilgoza pine nuts can play a significant role in promoting a healthy digestive system. These nuts are a good source of dietary fiber, which is essential for maintaining regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. Fiber also supports the growth of healthy gut bacteria, which are crucial for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.

The combination of fiber and healthy fats in Chilgoza pine nuts also helps regulate digestion by slowing down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. This can prevent blood sugar spikes and promote more consistent energy levels throughout the day. By supporting digestion, these nuts contribute to improved gut health and overall vitality.

9. Versatility in Culinary Use

Animal Nutrition: Nourishing Our Pets Unraveling the Complexities of Nutrition Industry

One of the most fundamental aspects of caring for animals is providing them with a balanced diet through proper nutrition. At its most basic level, animal nutrition involves meeting the macronutrient and micronutrient needs of different species. Macronutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats provide calories and are needed in relatively large amounts. Meanwhile, micronutrients like vitamins and minerals are required in small quantities but play vital roles in many bodily functions. Proteins are an especially important macronutrient for animals. They are building blocks for muscles, organs, skin, and other tissues. For pets and livestock, high-quality protein sources include meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, and soy. Protein needs vary considerably based on an animal's life stage, activity level, and whether they are pregnant, lactating, or growing. Owners must carefully monitor intake to avoid deficiencies or excesses. Carbohydrates represent another key macronutrient, though requirements differ between species. Herbivores depend on carbohydrates for energy but must obtain them from plant sources like grains, fruits, and vegetables. Animal Nutrition carnivores and omnivores get adequate amounts of carbohydrates from animal proteins alone. Too many carbohydrates can upset the digestive health of meat-eating pets if not properly balanced. Fats serve indispensable roles such as transporting vitamins, insulating the body, and fueling metabolism. Both essential fatty acids and other fats must come from animal sources for obligate carnivores. However, plants provide sufficient amounts for herbivores. Either way, giving animals too much or too little fat can undermine their wellness. Balancing Requirements for Specific Animals Having touched on core macronutrients, let us delve deeper into balancing diets for common household pets and livestock. Dogs, being domesticated carnivores, obtain protein primarily from meat together with some grains or vegetables. Their macronutrient needs center around approximately 18-20% high-quality protein, 5-11% fats, and 59-71% carbohydrates. Dogs also require vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Cats fall even more squarely into the carnivore category with strict protein requirements of around 30% for maintenance or even higher for growth, reproduction, or activity levels. Additionally, cats need niacin, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin B12, calcium, phosphorus, and taurine. Without this last essential amino acid, cats can develop blindness or heart failure. Animal Nutrition obtain it solely from animal flesh. Moving to a less carnivorous companion, rabbits have a herbivorous digestive tract adapted for eating fibrous plant matter. Their diets consist of approximately 16-18% protein largely from grass hay, Timothy hay, or alfalfa; 38-40% fiber from hay or grass; and 30-40% fresh vegetables with 8-10% fruit occasionally as a treat. Rabbits require vitamin C, calcium, fiber, and certain fatty acids not produced in their bodies.

Vitamins & Dietary Supplements Procurement Intelligence: Global Market Is Expected to Exhibit CAGR of 8.5% During 2024-2030

Vitamins & Dietary Supplements - Procurement Intelligence

Vitamins & dietary supplements procurement is expected to unlock huge opportunities by harnessing advanced technologies across advanced and emerging economies. The global market size stood at USD 178.5 billion in 2023. Traction for health and wellness is evolving among America consumers as they seek supplements tailored to their needs. Notably, North America dominated the industry in 2023, accounting for 35% of the overall market share, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.

Meanwhile, Europe is anticipated to witness growth owing to increased consumer awareness of health and the role of supplements in weight control and physical activity as well as their readiness to pursue a healthier lifestyle. The Asia Pacific region is poised to observe the fastest growth rate during the forecasted period. This growth is attributed to increasing consumer awareness & purchasing power along with a rise in the geriatric population in countries such as Japan and China.

Vitamins & dietary supplements are manufactured in several forms, such as tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, and gels. By type, the products are segmented into vitamin subtypes (e.g., A, B, C, D, E, and K), minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and probiotics. The products have end-use applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, feed products, foods and beverages, and personal care products. A few of the key raw materials used in manufacturing these products include retinol, carotenoids, thiamin, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, cholecalciferol, calcium carbonate, and magnesium aspartate.

Key technologies driving the growth include nanoencapsulation, biohacking and targeted supplementation, nutrigenomics, 3D printing of capsules, and lab-grown nutrients. For instance, nanoencapsulation provides various benefits, such as improving the stability and solubility of bioactive compounds used in the manufacturing of vitamins and dietary supplements. It also inhibits the deterioration of products during storage and transportation. It also enhances the bioavailability and potency of the target compounds in the products.

Industry players purchase raw materials and active ingredients from a variety of sources and locations. The profit margins are typically moderate to low due to intense competition. The key players usually compete over pricing strategies, product innovations, packaging, labeling, and advertising. Customers can be selective, as their objective is to purchase the best available options at the lowest feasible cost. This increases the pressure on key players to provide competitive pricing and high-quality products. Besides, regulatory guidelines in several countries require companies to have stringent quality control and safety standards.

Vitamins & dietary supplements may either be manufactured in-house or through contract development & manufacturing organizations (CDMOs). They may be distributed via offline or online distribution channels. Offline channels include brick-and-mortar establishments such as direct sellers, pharmacies, hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, or other tangible shop environments. Online channels comprise e-pharmacies (Walgreens, CVS, PharmEasy) and e-commerce platforms (Amazon, eBay, Flipkart).

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption in the global vitamins and dietary supplements industry. The product demand intensified after the COVID-19 outbreak, due to the surge in demand for immunity-boosting products. Supply disruptions were prevalent due to transportation bottlenecks and labor shortages during government-imposed lockdowns, but the supply stabilized significantly in 2023 to meet the increased global demand.

Can Algae Tablets Replace Your Daily Multivitamins? 3 Things to Know

Do you take a multivitamin supplement? Many people do. Like clockwork, they pop their favorite multivitamin every day, chock full of essential vitamins and minerals, like vitamin A, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin E, biotin, calcium, potassium, zinc, and many others.

What if you could take a more well-rounded approach to getting your daily vitamins and minerals? Many people take multivitamins because they may not get all the nutrition they need from their diet alone. However, multivitamins can be limited in their nutritional scope.

Algae tablets, on the other hand, can feature a broader scope of nutrition. Algae tablets, like spirulina or chlorella tablets, are a whole food and they’re loaded with many of the vitamins and minerals you can find in a conventional multivitamin supplement.

That’s not all. Algae tablets can contain a variety of other nutrients not found in multivitamins. These can completely change the way you think about your daily nutrition. Can algae tablets replace your multivitamins and then some? Here’s what you need to know!

Algae Tablets Can Be “Complete” Nutrition

At a glance, you might call your average multivitamin supplement nutrient-dense. However, the reality might not be quite what you’d expect. There are, of course, a lot of multivitamins on the market. Some are tailored to men, others to women. Some may target specific wellness concerns, too.

In any case, conventional multivitamins are limited in their nutritional scope. They can only contain so many nutrients (not to mention fillers). After that, you may need to find additional supplements to get nutritional value the first one may have lacked.

Algae tablets can be more “complete.” Part of the reason why comes down to the fact that algae, and by extension, algae tablets, is a whole food. It’s not a supplement at all. You can find chlorella supplements that are actually a food source that just happens to be in tablet form.

How Nutrient Dense Are Algae Tablets? 

In a single serving of chlorella tablets, you can find an impressive spread of nutrition. This can include protein, fiber, amino acids, phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals. In some cases, the serving of chlorella tablets may contain more of each nutrient than an average serving of a multivitamin (though this can vary greatly).

You might be hard-pressed to find a multivitamin with this kind of nutritional range. Plus, algae tablets contain chlorophyll and they’re alkaline, which can lead to a host of other benefits multivitamins may not be able to achieve.

Whole Body Nutrition From One Ingredient 

Another advantage of algae tablets is that they’re made with a single ingredient. When you buy spirulina supplements, which are also whole-food tablets, you can end up with tablets that are 100% pure, raw spirulina. Nothing more, nothing less! No sugar, no gums, no gluten!

Conventional multivitamins can be loaded with ingredients from all kinds of sources. On top of that, they can contain fillers (usually to help hold their shape or in some cases add flavor and texture). You may also have to limit how many multivitamins you take.

As a whole food, algae tablets are more akin to eating veggies than taking a supplement, even though they are tiny tablets. You can snack on a handful in the morning (they can also help curb hunger!). Or you can enjoy a full serving of 30 as a mini meal replacement. Either way, you get serious nutritional value.

About ENERGYbits® Inc.

Empower your nutrition with ENERGYbits®! ENERGYbits® were developed by Catharine Arnston, who left a fast-paced corporate career to help her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Catharine’s sister’s oncologist suggested an alkaline diet to support the healing process. At that point, Catharine went to work to find solutions and discovered the power of algae, specifically chlorella and spirulina. Not only were they exceptionally alkaline, but they were also phenomenal sources of chlorophyll and several other essential nutrients! Catharine’s sister made an amazing recovery. Today you, too, can take advantage of the many benefits of algae in the form of ENERGYbits®, bits of whole-food algae pressed into single-ingredient tablets. With chlorella and spirulina supplements, you can transform and take control of your nutrition.

National Fresh Spinach Day 

Fresh Spinach Day is celebrated annually on July 16 to emphasize the many health benefits of fresh spinach. It’s not all fantasy that Popeye gains superhuman strength after consuming his canned spinach. Because, in reality, spinach can boost your health. From improving bone health to lowering the risk of cancer, spinach got you covered. Fresh Spinach Day reminds you to add this healthy leaf vegetable to your meals or smoothies. Creamed spinach, spinach dip, sautéed spinach, green smoothie – strongly yummy.

History of Fresh Spinach Day

Spinach is said to be originating in Persia, and it was later brought to India and China via Nepal in 647 A.D. – known as ‘Persian green’ in China. Spinach was then introduced to Sicily by the Saracens in 827 A.D. It was later brought to Spain by the Arabs in the late 12th century, called ‘the chief of leafy greens.’ It then spread to England and France in the 14th century, known for a while as ‘the Spanish vegetable’ in England. In the U.S., spinach became popular in the 1800s. In the 1930s, there was a boost in spinach consumption due to the fame of Popeye.

Spinach has three main types: flat-leaf and savoy. Flat-leaf spinach or smooth-leaf spinach features flat and smooth leaves, hence the name. This type is typically grown for freezing and canning. It grows faster and yields more, and it’s easier to clean. On the other hand, the savoy type, with curly and crinkly leaves, is preferred for the use of the home garden and fresh market. It usually looks and tastes better and keeps longer than flat-leaf. Besides, it has less oxalic acid than flat-leaf. There’s also semi-savoy type spinach whose leaves are partially curly and crinkly.

Spinach is rich in nutrients, raw or cooked. If you consume raw spinach, you’ll likely absorb more folate, niacin, potassium, riboflavin, and vitamin C. Raw spinach is packed with fiber and water. And since raw spinach is quite flavorless, it’s easier to blend with sweet smoothies. When it comes to cooked spinach, you’ll likely absorb more of the iron and calcium that it provides. Besides, the amounts of vitamin A and E in cooked spinach are increased. So, whether you consume raw or cooked spinach, it will still give you the nutrients that your body needs.
