What's all the buzz about collagen? There are powders, potions, tinctures... And then, there is FOOD! Why is there so much interest in the latest and greatest supplement that will cure all ills? BEWARE! We are in a time of great discovery and yet it takes time to really know what is potentially helpful vs harmful and to know if the push for a medication or nutraceutical is about the money or for the greater good of people? While there needs to be profit, when corners are cut with regard to making these supportive supplements clean, viable and carefully warehoused, we need to take caution. Collagen peptides are a great way to accompany a healthy diet. They support: Bone and joints Skin, hair and nails The gut Collagen peptides are small chains of amino acids, although they are not complete protein, thus are not meant to replace protein intake from other complete sources. With so much confusion about protein needs and many people struggling to eat a variety of healthy sources (fried, hormone treated and highly processed versions do not count!), collagen peptides can be a great adjunct to support your health and well-being. Do you need recipes, help with bones, joints, stomach, skin - hmm - perhaps an overall tune-up?

Have you ever wondered why, despite all its benefits, we don't always feel the magic of turmeric? That's because curcumin doesn't absorb well into our bodies on its own. Does that mean that all those turmeric supplements with high doses are useless? The answer is that unless they have absorption enhancing compounds they pretty much are useless. So how can one increase its absorption without taking a ton of turmeric? Research has shown that If you can add a small pinch of black pepper to your turmeric it will boost curcumin bioavailability by 2000%! Also, adding turmeric to healthy fats such as ghee, eggs, seeds, avocados, nuts and coconut further improves the absorption of curcumin. If you are looking to lose weight, take at least 1600+ mg of curcumin daily for 90 days. This is what the European Journal of Pharmacology did with 44 overweight participants to examine the benefits of turmeric or curcumin for weight loss. And what they found was mind blowing! This & other studies indicate that curcumin can reduce leptin, promote weight loss, reduce fat tissue growth, curb weight regain, and enhance your sensitivity to the hormone insulin #Vitsupp #VitsuppVideo #Turmeric #Curcumin #MagicofTurmeric #Health

A very common medication could cause an increase in migraine attacks? Research shows that the use of common acid reflux medications like PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) e.g. Nexium, could cause an increase in migraine attacks and severe headaches. The mechanism behind this is believed to be due to altered absorption of medication and nutrients such as magnesium and B12. If you experience acid reflux, regularly take antacids and have migraine, it might be worth speaking to your doctor, pharmacist, dietician, and/or naturopath to see if you could find an effective alternative. Natural ways that you can help ease acid reflux include decreasing caffeine, no carbonated drinks, ginger tea, probiotics, little to no alcohol, stop smoking (if you smoke), avoid citrus and trigger foods, and more. https://lnkd.in/gG3wAGCc

I will no longer buy supplements from Costco or Amazon. I used to because I didn’t know better, but I have learned about how these supplements do not necessarily have therapeutic dosages of all the ingredients. I also learned about how many supplements sold on Amazon have fillers in them, which is definitely not what you want to be taking. It’s also important to make sure the brands you are getting your supplements from are transparent with their ingredients, dosages, and their testing process to ensureyou are getting exactly what the bottle says. This is why I buy all my supplements through FullScript. All the supplements on there are thrid party tested and approved, so you know you are getting exactly what it says you are. If you want to order supplements for yourself, you can shop this link to access my FullScript shop. https://lnkd.in/gSBctkhM Bonus: you get a 10% discount! .

#Metabolic Health High Uric Acid Uric acid is a Product of Metabolism in the body, three things can metabolize to produce Uric acid; (purines, fructose and alcohol) Purine is the only one thing you are told about, 70% of Purines are produced in the body itself. Very less from Diet. When presented with raised uric acid (Hyperuricemia - HU) levels the immediate advice given is to lower your protein intake. They will then put on Febuxostat or Allopurinol drugs. Fructose which is found in Sugar, sugary drinks, Fruits, Honey etc. also contribute to excess Uric acid production in the body. But the main reason for elevated Uric acid levels is NOT excess production. It is accumulation as a result of Poor Clearance courtesy of insulin resistance. Hyperinsulinemia reduces renal excretion of uric acid on the proximal tubular of the kidney leading to hyperuricemia. Most often people with elevated Uric acid also have Fatty liver, Diabetes & other Metabolic issues. Get your Insulin levels tested via HOMA IR (fasting insulin & fasting blood sugar) then you can clearly co-relate it. Solution is NOT lowering Protein intake. Solution is to fix underlying Insulin Resistance. That can be done mainly through; low carb diet, fasting and regular physical activity.
