Comment on Should I take Resveratrol? by Saul

Saul — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 05:05:52 +0000

Hello I saw this and must say your almost like me. I also take a mutli vitamin with almost all the benefits except iron. Omega 3 of course is a must have. I recently tryed memory support. Nothing but a vitamin B. Did not work for me! Resveratrol is on my next list of pills I take. These 3 combined are the best and agree with you. So far I seen a increase in energy! The negs that I see of this….It slows down healing. Also it activates the survival gene. What happens if that gene is used to much tho? I am worried about that. Hydroxycut is what I used to use and thought it was safe. Well it turned out now it wasnt. I used it for 3 years. I came out with a uti a hemroid and a infection on my neck which my lymph nodes had to fix. Im a healthly person I exercise everyday etc. I just hope nothing bad happens from this. I know the french drink alot of wine! What if they drank to much over so much time?

Hi,

Your formulation has 5 HTP and SAMe together. Is it safe to take these together as I read somewhere that it is not safe.

Nicely written, but wrong on one point.:

Eat a balanced diet that primarily consists of whole grains, fruit and vegetables:

50% to 55% carbohydrate

Thi right answer is:

Reduce your consumption of carbohydrates – as much as you can!

Or am I wrong?

Very interesting! My little sister had NHL, and has been in remission for nearly 2 years, but I’ve gone all organice meanwhile, and drinking red wine moderately. Also rarely eat red meat… but I’m always on the lookout for more information on NHL prevention. Thanks!

Basically, liver function tests, which are also routinely called “LFTs,” assess the overall health and the anatomical integrity of liver. LFTs include measurements of albumin, various liver enzymes, bilirubin, cholesterol and total protein. All of these tests can be performed at the same time.

Hi Barbara,

Great news about your HRT milestone!

To answer your question about Osteoporosis prevention…

Taking a multi-vitamin daily is a very, very good start to obtaining and maintaining optimum health. And it’s very good that you are thinking about osteoporosis prevention because you are, unfortunately, right in the middle of the ‘at risk’ group.

Review your multi-vitamin label carefully – in addition to a good diet, to prevent osteoporosis, you need a balanced combination of nutrients: Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Copper and Boron. These nutrients work in concert to keep your bones healthy and strong for many years.

In addition to a healthy diet, you need a daily supplement that includes:

1200 mg Calcium
600 mg Magnesium
400 IU to 1000 IU Vitamin D3
30 mg Zinc
1.5 mg copper
2 mg of boron

You may or may not get all of these nutrients in your multi-vitamin. And I’d be surprised if your multi-vitamin contains 1200 mg of Calcium.

One last point and this is important… Absorbability – Most multi-vitamins and most calcium supplements that you find at drug stores use Calcium Carbonate. Unfortunately, Calcium Carbonate is not very absorbable – you could take handfuls of Calcium Carbonate and your body could still be calcium-deprived because your body is not absorbing the calcium. Check your label to see what type of calcium is in your multi-vitamin. The type of calcium that you need to take is Calcium Bis-glycinate.

The supplement that I recommended in my Osteoporosis article is Bone Restore from Life Extension Foundation. I recommended this product because it contains all of the nutrients and the appropriate amount of an absorbable calcium all in one or two capsules (I’d personally do anything to cut down on the number of tablet that I have to take).

Let me know if you have more questions.

Take care,

Doug
