Introduction
Vitamins are a group of materials that are important for normal cell
function, growth, and development. They play important roles in
bodily functions like immunity, metabolism and digestion. There are
13 essential vitamins, including vitamins C, A, D, K, and E and B
vitamins such as folate and riboflavin. Each of the vitamins has a
major job in the body. A vitamin deficiency occurs when one do not
get enough of a certain vitamin.
Vitamin deficiency can cause health problems. According to the
researchers, the best way to meet the vitamin needs is to eat a
balanced diet containing a lot of healthy foods. Vitamins are mainly
grouped into two categories: There are nine important water-soluble
vitamins. The body should use water-soluble vitamins right away. Fat-
soluble vitamins are primarily stored in the body's fatty tissue. The
four fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins D, A, K, and E. In this E-book
we have taken up the 8 most important nutrients and explained about
their benefits in detail along with what difficulties and health hazards
might arise in the case of its deficiency.EE a
The body must have vitamin D3 to absorb calcium and promote bone growth.
Too little vitamin D3 results in misshapen bones in adults (osteomalacia), soft bones
in children (Fickets). You also need vitamin D3 for several other important body functions.
Vitamin D3 prevents colon cancer, breast cancer, depression, prostate cancer,
heart disease, weight gain, and other diseases. According to scientists, men and women
with higher levels of vitamin D3 have a lower risk of diseases.
Health Benefits of Vitamin D3
According to scientists activated vitamin D3 is one of the most potent inhibitors of
the growth of cancer cell. It stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin. It also regulates
the immune system.

Promotes bone health
Vitamin D3 is used for treating and preventing rickets, a disease that is mainly
caused by not having enough vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is also used for treating
the problems of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bone's quality
and density are reduced rapidly. In this medical condition, the bones become more
fragile and brittle, and a chance of fracture is immensely enhanced. The bones
become weaker because they rapidly lose density.
During menopause, the decreased level of estrogen can cause bone loss and to
ensure bone health the body primarily needs Vitamin D3 and calcium. Vitamin D3
enhances the absorption of calcium in the gut and maintains adequate phosphate
concentrations and serum calcium to enable mineralization of the bones and to
prevent hypocalcemia tetany.
Vitamin D3 is immensely effective in treating bone pain (osteomalacia), bone loss
in men and women with a serious condition commonly known as hyperparathyroidism,
and a genetically acquired disease (osteogenesis imperfecta) in which the bones are
easily broken and extremely brittle. It is also utilized for preventing fractures and falls
in men and women at risk for osteoporosis and preventing bone loss
(renal osteodystrophy) and low calcium in men and women with kidney failure.[LT
Helps heart health
The Renin angiotensin system (RAS) is a hormone system that plays an important role
in the regulation of blood pressure. An overactive RAS can enhance blood pressure
and increase the risk of hypertension. Many Studies have shown that vitamin D3 can
directly lower expressions of the RAS and therefore can lower the risk of future
hypertension. Scientists have found vitamin D3 receptors on the cells in the vascular
smooth muscles (VSMC). The body sometimes produces many new VSMCs that can
lead to the creation of plaques in the arteries of the heart.
Many new studied have shown that through binding to these cells, vitamin D3 is able to
lower the risk of overproduction of VSMCs and subsequent plaques.
Vitamin D3 supplementation has been shown to improve the endothelial dysfunction.
Endothelial dysfunction is the imbalance between dilating and constricting matters
created by the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels). The Imbalance can be
both a contributing factor and a symptom of conditions like hypertension, coronary
artery disease
Helps Prevent diabetes
In recent times, diabetes that is also known as diabetes mellitus has become one of
the largest harmful chronic diseases across the world. The main causes of diabetes are
the modem sedentary lifestyle, genetic susceptibility, obesity and lack of physical activity.
According to researchers approximately 383 million people throughout the world were
suffering from diabetes in 2013. Diabetes increases the risks of stroke, heart attack,
foot ulcers, eye damage and kidney failure.
Many scientific studies have shown that men and women who have the lowest vitamin D3
levels in the blood are at an enhanced risk of developing diabetes later in their life.
They also notice that men and women newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes often have
lower vitamin D3 levels than people without diabetes. Recent scientific studies have shown
that vitamin D3 supplementation can help control blood glucose levels and help improve
insulin sensitivity in those with type 2 diabetes,cc a ncn
Results of Vitamin D3 Deficiency
If one shun the sun light, suffer from severe milk allergies, or adhere to a vegan diet,
one may be at risk for vitamin D3 deficiency. Symptoms of muscle weakness and
bone pain can mean you have a vitamin D3 deficiency. However, for many people,
the signs are subtle. Even without signs, too little vitamin D3 can pose many
health risks. Low blood levels of vitamin D3 have been associated with the following:
Cognitive impairment in older adults
+ Increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease
Cancer
* Severe asthma in children
+ Hypertension
+ Multiple sclerosis
* Glucose intolerance
Food Sources of Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that is present in very few healthy foods, added
to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced enormously when
ultraviolet rays from sun rays strike our skin. Vitamin D3 obtained from food; sun
exposure and supplements is biologically inert and must undergo two hydroxylations
in the body for activation. Foods that contain vitamin D3 include:
+ Sardines + Margarines
+ Shrimp + Beef
+ Salmon + Cheese
+ Egg yolk + Swordfish
+ Milk
+ Orange juice
+ Yogurt
+ Cereal
Cod liver oil
+ Tuna fish[NE eT
Need for Vitamin D3 Supplementation
‘The body must have vitamin D3 to absorb calcium and promote bone growth.
Too little vitamin D3 results in misshapen bones in adults (osteomalacia), soft
bones in children (rickets). Scientists suggest vitamin D3 treatment might be found
helpful in preventing or treating autoimmune disease, autism, cancer, depression, chronic
pain diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, flu, osteoporosis and neuromuscular
diseases.
Vitamin D3 helps regulate the neuromuscular system and the immune system.
Vitamin D3 also plays important roles in the life cycle of human cells. Vitamin D3 is so
important that the body produces it by itself but only after skin exposure to sufficient
sunlight. Dark skin absorbs less sunlight, so men and women with dark skin do not get
as much vitamin D3 from sun exposure as do fair-skinned people. This is a major problem
for African-Americans in the northern U.S.
If one wants to be Bulletproof, supplementation is a great start. Handicapping oneself
by ‘only getting nutrients from food’ is not a great idea, even on the Bulletproof Diet.
Vitamin D3 is usually included in most multivitamins, usually in strengths from
60-100 international units (IU). It can be found as capsules, soft gels, liquids and tablets.
The new 2012 recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 600 IU for those 1-68 years of age
and breastfeeding or pregnant women, and 789 IU for those over 72 years of age.12INLIFE ent ead
Vitamin B12 is one of the major water soluble vitamins that help keep the body's
blood cells and nerve healthy and immensely helps produce DNA, the genetic substance
in all cells, Water-soluble vitamins completely dissolve in water, Vitamin B12 also helps
prevent the kind of anemia commonly known as megaloblastic anemia that makes men
and women weak and tired. The body can store vitamin B12 for many years in the liver.
Health Benefits of Vitamin B12
There are several health benefits of Vitamin B12. Here we have jotted down a few common
health benefits.
Reduces the risk of pernicious anemia
Vitamin B12 deficiency is not directly attached to anemia. Pernicious anemia is a medical
condition where vitamin B12 is not absorbed by the human body properly, resulting in
overall illeffects of deficiency.

Fights fatigue
Since vitamin B12 is immensely required for the formulation of RBCs (red blood cells)
its deficiency is directly linked to fatigue and overall weakness. Red blood cells are
the major elements of blood. Their main task is to transport oxygen to the body's tissues
in exchange for unhealthy carbon dioxide; that is carried to and eliminated by the lungs.

Helps lower the risk of heart disease
Sufficient levels of Vitamin B12 are vital to lower the levels of a compound commonly
known as homocysteine. It is directly linked to risk of stroke and heart attack.
According to new scientific studies enhancing dietary intake or supplementation of
vitamin B12 along with essential fatty acids, can significantly lower the possibilities
of heart disease and blood clot formation (resulting in a stroke).
Improves mental health
The role of vitamin B12 in cognitive and mental improvement has been studied
extensively and it was found that, increased levels of homocysteine (the compound
propagated by vitamin B12) are not only linked to heart diseases but also to cognitive
impairment or gradual decline in the functions of brain, Recent scientific studies have
suggested that B12 supplementation can play an immensely important role in improving
the signs and symptoms that indicate delirium:
Reduces the incidence of birth defects
Vitamin B12 is immensely important for synthesizing DNA of our cells. Hence with
decreased levels of vitamin B12, DNA defects can result. The immense importance of
vitamin B12 in the body becomes vividly evident when defects in DNA are expressed as
birth defects. Recent scientific Studies have linked vitamin B12 deficiency with higher
risk of Down's syndrome in children and neural tube defects (NTD).
Boosts Hepatitis C Treatment
Vitamin B12 is widely known for its role in boosting immune-function. This function was
vividly indicated by a scientific study published in the journal Gut; that assessed role of
vitamin B12 in patients with hepatitis C infection. Out of 85 patients with HCV infection,
the ones who directly received vitamin B12 supplements along with a good treatment for
hepatitis C showed enhanced response rate against the virus after completion of the
medical treatment. The main vital response was reported to strengthen by 35 percent.
Protect Against Cancer
Keeping in mind the important role of vitamin B12 in DNA synthesis and repair, many
researchers explored the association between cancer and Vitamin B12. One of them was
a study by Slater and colleagues that found that high intake of vitamin B12 along with
Vitamin B6 decreased the risk of colon cancer by 30% to 40% in participants having genes
that can enhance the risk of cancer in them.INLIFE

Might Help to Reduce Depression
A study by Bolander-Goalie C and Copper A showed that decreased levels of vitamin B12
are also intimately linked to clinical depression and mood disorders. Further, it has also
been observed that low levels of B12 interfere with the appropriate response to treatments
with antidepressants. The recent scientific studies suggested that the supplementation of
vitamin B12 can help to improve outcomes in persons with mood disorders.
Protect Against Alzheimer's Disease
There is specific evidence that enhanced vitamin B12 levels can prevent Alzheimer's
disease by reducing the levels of homocysteine in the body. A recent scientific study
highlighted that with every picomolar enhance in the level of active vitamin B12 decreased
the risk Alzheimer's by three percent.

Results of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency may happen if you have certain conditions, like: pernicious
anemia, atrophic gastritis, surgery that removed portions of the small intestine or
stomach, including weight loss surgery, conditions affecting the small intestine, like
celiac disease, Crohn's disease, a parasite or bacterial growth, heavy drinking, immune
system disorders, like lupus or Graves’ disease and long-term use of acid-lowering drugs.
Low blood level of vitamin B12 has been associated with the following:
+ Weakness, tiredness, or lightheadedness
+ Pale skin
+ Rapid heartbeat and breathing
* Sore tongue
+ Stomach upset and weight loss
+ Easy bruising or bleeding, including bleeding gums
+ Diarrhea or constipation
Food Sources of Vitamin B12
Though vitamin B12 is absorbed in small amounts by the body, it is necessary for us to
get sufficient of this nutrient from the diet. Foods that contain vitamin B12 include:

Need for Vitamin B12 Supplementation
Vitamin B12 exists in various forms and retains cobalt, compounds with vitamin B12
activity are commonly known as "cobalamins". 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin and
Methyleobalamin are the important forms of vitamin B12 which are active in human
metabolism. Recommended dietary amounts are 2.4 micrograms daily for ages 15 years
and older, 2.8 micrograms daily for breastfeeding females and 3.1 micrograms daily for
pregnant females.
Those over 50 years of age must meet the RDA by eating healthy foods reinforced
with B12 or by taking vitamin B12 supplements. Supplementation of 35-100 micrograms
\regularly has been used to maintain vitamin B12 levels in aged people. Vitamin B12 is
found in all multivitamins. Dietary supplements that contain only vitamin B12, with
nutrients like folic acid and other B vitamins are also available. A pharmacist and a doctor
should be consulted for use in other indications.
10Essential Fatty Acids
(Omega 3, 6 and 9)INU!
FE
Ooo uu ir
The essential fatty acids (Omega-3, omega-6, omega 9 fatty acids) are extremely
important components of cell membranes and are precursors to several other matters
in the body like those involved with inflammatory responses and regulating blood pressure.
There is rising support for these fatty acids in protecting against heart disease, and itis
known that they have immense anti-inflammatory effects, which can be important in this
and other diseases. The body immensely requires these essential fatty acids but cannot
synthesize them by itself.
Health Benefits of Essential Fatty Acids
There are several health benefits of these essential fatty acids. Here we have jotted down
a few common health benefits.
Prevents Heart Disease
A diet high in monounsaturated fat and low in saturated fat and polyunsaturated fats
(including omega-3, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids) helps prevent fatal heart disease.
Fish oil has been shown to lower arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), chance of stroke and
helps treat and prevent atherosclerosis (narrowing and hardening of the arteries). Fish oil
supplements regularly taken after a heart attack decreases the risk of having another heart
attack.
Improves Blood Cholesterol Levels
Cholesterol is described as a waxy, fat ike compound that is found in most body tissues
including the nerves and the blood. Cholesterol helps make the outer coating of different
cells, makes up the bile acids that continuously work to digest foods in the intestine and
also allows the body to make hormones and Vitamin D. High cholesterol increases
the chances of stroke and cardiovascular disease. There are two types of cholesterol- LDL
(bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol)
When much cholesterol is present in the blood, plaque - a thick, hard substance can form
in the arteries of the heart. According to recent studies walnuts, fish, fish oil
(high in omega 6, omega 3 and omega 9 fatty acids) can decrease the levels of triglyceride.
Helps Prevent Diabetes
In recent times, diabetes that is also known as diabetes mellitus has become one of the
largest harmful chronic diseases across the world. The main causes of diabetes are the
modern sedentary lifestyle, genetic susceptibility, obesity and lack of physical activity.
According to researchers approximately 383 million people throughout the world were

Peo ut eu icy
Diabetes increases the risks of stroke, heart attack, foot ulcers, eye damage and kidney
failure, According to recent scientific studies, people who consumed the essential fatty
acids are 43% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than people who didn't. It is
recommended that you must eat fish thrice a week.
Regulates important physiological functions
Some recent studies suggest that these essential fatty acids play an important role in
the production of prostaglandins that are known to promote important physiological
functions such as blood clotting, nerve transmission, blood pressure, allergic responses, etc.

Helps Improve symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Various scientific studies have found that fish and fish oil supplements DHA and EPA
significantly reduced joint pain and stiffness related to rheumatoid arthritis. They also
seem to increase the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Increases Bone Strength
The essential fatty acids may help enhance the levels of calcium in the body thereby
improving the strength of bones, although not all results were positive. Men and women
with deficiency of essential fatty acids GLA and EPA may have more bone loss than people
with normal levels of these fatty acids.
Reduced intake of the essential fatty acids is closely associated with enhanced risk of
dementia. Scientists believe that omega-6 fatty acid DHA is protective against dementia
and Alzheimer's disease. It is best to include supplementation from an early age that
works as an effective prevention.

Reduces the Risk of Cancer
The essential fatty acids rich diet seems to lower the risk and prevents worsening of
colon cancer. Women who regularly eat foods high in omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids
over many years are less likely to develop breast cancer. Low-fat diet including omega-3,
omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids from fish oil or fish helps prevent the development of
prostate cancer.
Improves High Blood Pressure
\
High blood pressure is a serious medical condition that can cause heart attack, stroke,
coronary heart disease, heart failure, kidney failure and other serious health problems.
The common signs of high blood pressure include severe headache, nausea, vomiting,
confusion, vision changes and nose bleeds. Regular intake of 4 or more grams fish oil
regularly reduces blood pressure, and it is helpful to those suffering from hypertension.
Results of Essential Fatty Acids Deficiency
Among other things, the essential fatty acids are responsible for the health of the hair,
skin and nails. When deficient in these essential fats the health of the hair, skin, and nails
suffers.
‘Symptoms of Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency
+ Premenstrual breast pain/tenderness

Food Sources of Essential Fatty Acids
Foods that contain the essential fatty acids (omega 9, omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids)
include:
+ Flaxseed
+ Sardines
+ walnuts
+ soybeans
+ beef
+ shrimp
+ tofu
+ cauliflower
+ Brussels sprouts
Need for Essential Fatty Acids Supplementation
The average Indian consumes about 2.1 grams of essential fatty acids daily. In Indian diets,
men and women eat about nine times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega°3 fatty acids.
These huge amounts of omega-6 fatty acids come from vegetable oils such as sesame oil,
corn oil, sunflower oil, and walnut oil. Because omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids compete
in the body, benefits can be easily reached either by lowering omega-6 intake or enhancing
omega3 intake.
People who do not eat fish or other foods high in essential fatty acids should consider
taking an omega-3 supplement of 550 mg every day; Recent scientific studies suggest that
men and women who have already had a stroke can benefit from higher doses of omega-3
and omega 6 supplements (basically, double the 500 mg), so if you do have heart disease,
consult your doctor about whether taking a higher dose of omega 3 and omega 6 makes
sense for you.

Antioxidants are natural or man-made substances that may delay or prevent various types
of cell damage. An antioxidant is a small molecule that inhibits the oxidation of several
other molecules. Oxidation is an important chemical reaction that usually transfers
electrons from a molecule to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free
radicals. In turn, these free radicals can commence chain reactions. When the chain
reaction occurs in a particular cell, it can cause death or damage to the cell. Antioxidants
effectively terminate these chain reactions by removing the free radicals.
Health Benefits of Antioxidants
Free radicals are propagated directly on exposure to environmental factors like radiation,
pollution, pesticides and cigarette smoke. They can attack the cellular DNA and induce
various changes in the cell membrane. Antioxidants work like free radical scavengers that
protect the cells from getting damaged. They do not treat a specific disease but help in
the reduction of risk and prevention of a lot of chronic conditions and diseases.
Reduce the Risk of Cancer
Because of the power to attack the DNA and other cells, free radicals can cause cancer by
inducing mutations. Antioxidants are, therefore, immensely helpful to prevent cancer.
To confirm if dietary antioxidants are helpful in increasing the protective effect of the
immune system, laboratory analysis and scientific studies on humans have been
conducted. According to the international Cancer Institute, till date 12 studies have
supported the view that dietary antioxidant supplements lower the risks of cancer in
humans.
Reduce Inflammation
Various immunological conditions like joint problems and arthritis result in inflammation
responsible for pains and aches. Antioxidants are natural antiinflammatory agents that
protect one against these minor pains and improve mobility.
Protect against Heart Disease
Free radicals can cause inflammation on the walls of the arteries and contribute to fatal
heart disease. Apart from directly destroying the free radicals, antioxidants also prevent
the oxidation of LDL (the bad cholesterol) and helps in lowering the risk of stroke and
coronary heart disease. One of the most popular antioxidants Vitamin E has been closely
associated with decreased risk of heart disease in men and women suffering from type
2 diabetes.
Slow Down the Aging Process
Antioxidants slow doing the aging process of the body by neutralizing oxidants and free
radicals ~ and can protect you from various types of diseases while they are at it. Recent
studies have found that antioxidants also improve the appearance and health of the skin.
While antioxidants should not be treated as a cure-all or a panacea, they certainly deserve
the attention that they are receiving 16INLIFE aS
Boost Immune Function
The immune system is immensely reliant on accurate cell-cell communication for the
optimal functions, and any severe damage to the signaling systems involved will result in
a damaged, impaired immune responsiveness. The oxidant-mediated tissue injury is a
specific peril to the immune system, since the phagocytic cells produce many reactive
oxygen species as part of the human body's defense against various types of infection.
Adequate amounts of neutralizing antioxidants are immensely required, therefore, to
prevent damage and destruction to the immune cells themselves.
Prevent Macular Degeneration
Not all but particular minerals and vitamins that work as antioxidants help to prevent eye
diseases. According to a recent study primarily conducted by the National Institutes of
Health, beta-carotene, vitamin c, vitamin E and zinc are closely associated with slowing
down the development of the age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in men and women
who showed early symptoms of the disease. They decreased the risk of vision loss in study
participants by 30 percent over a period of 6 years.
Reverse Memory Loss
Antioxidants significantly reduce the oxidative stress in brain cells and protect against
memory loss, decreased mental energy and reduced concentration. They also immensely
help in the development of the cognitive domain.
Regulates Important Physiological Functions
Some recent studies suggest that antioxidants play an important role in the production of
prostaglandins that are known to promote important physiological functions such as blood
clotting, nerve transmission, blood pressure, allergic responses, etc.
Improves Peripheral Artery Disease
Low antioxidant levels contribute to enhanced blood pressure during exercise for persons
with peripheral arterial disease, according to researchers at Vascular and Penn State
Hershey Heart Institute. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects approximately 10
thousand Indians every year and enhances the chance of death from a cardiovascular
event. Decreased blood flow causes pain in the legs and enhances blood pressure in people
who have Peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, the causes of this disease are still
unknown.

19PRE & PROBIOTICSINLIFE [een
Probiotics are organisms like yeast or bacteria which are believed to improve health.
The digestive system is the main home to more than 450 types of bacteria. They help keep
the small intestines strong and assist in digesting food. They also help the immune system.
According to scientists, probiotics play a major role in treating various problems in the
stomach and intestine. The Prebiotic, a different type of plant fiber immensely helps
nourish the healthy bacteria already in the large colon. The body itself can not digest these
plant fibers; instead, the fibers work as a fertilizer to propagate the growth of many of
the good bacteria in the gut.
Health Benefits of Probiotics
There are several health benefits of probiotics. Here we have jotted down a few common
health benefits.
Treating Diarrhea
Probiotics health benefits primarily include improvement of the digestive system. Diarrhea
describes bowel movements that are extremely watery and loose. It causes irritation, fever,
loss of skin elasticity, absence of saliva and sunken eyes. Diarrhea is the most common
side effect of antibiotics. It can be decreased through the consumption of natural yogurt,
the best effective probiotics supplement. Antibiotics can disrupt the crucial microbial
balance in the intestine, but according to new scientific studies the delicate balance can be
restored through probiotics that immensely reduces the chance of diarrhea.
Brain Function
The brain sends essential signals to the gut; that is why various types of stress and
emotions can contribute to gastrointestinal signs. Brain function is notably different
among people who consumed probiotics from yogurt regularly. Women consuming
probiotics show great connectivity between important brainstem regions called the
periaqueductal gray and portions of the prefrontal cortex, and they usually experience less
activity in both the somatosensory cortex and the insula. The somatosensory system is
the most important complex sensory systems. The processing mainly occurs in the primary
somatosensory portion in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex and essential information
is sent via sensory nerves to the brain.
Cholesterol
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is commonly known as bad cholesterol as they can
transport the content of fat molecules into artery walls of the heart resulting in clogged
arteries and can enhance the chances of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Cardiovascular
disease is a serious medical condition that involves blocked or narrowed blood vessels,
which can lead to heart attacks, chest pain, and strokes. It has been proved that
actobacillus Reuters NCIMB 30242 helps reduce the levels of low-density
lipoproteins (LDL). Lactobacillus Reuters NCIMB 30242 aids immensely in maintaining
healthy cholesterol metabolism and propagates healthy lipid metabolism too.

Infection
Infection is primarily caused by invasion of the host organism's body tissues by disease
causing microorganisms that lead clinically to evident illness. The signs of infection
include loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, fever, aches, and pains.
Probiotic bacteria protect the body from the attack of bacterial infections. Lactobacillus
salivarius helps prevent listeria infection. Lactobacillus salivarius is an essential probiotic
bacterium that improves the digestive system and also promotes the growth of beneficial
organisms
Helps Control High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a serious medical condition that can cause heart attack, stroke,
coronary heart disease, heart failure, kidney failure and other serious health problems.
The common signs of high blood pressure include severe headache, nausea, vomiting,
confusion, vision changes and nose bleeds. The new scientific studies found significant
benefits among people with high blood pressure who regularly consumed probiotics in
products like milk and yogurt
Probiotic consumption helps lower the systolic blood pressure. When the heart beats, it
pushes and contracts blood through the arteries of the heart to the rest of the human body.
This force creates pressure on the arteries. This is called systolic blood pressure
Boost the Immune System
Probiotics immensely help maintain a strong immune system. In societies with very good
hygiene, researchers have seen a sharp enhance in allergic and autoimmune diseases. It
may be because the immune system is not being challenged by the pathogenic organisms.
Introducing friendly healthy bacteria in the form of probiotics is believed to properly
challenge the immune system of the body in healthy ways.
Improves Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Many people find taking probiotics daily helps to relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel

Results of Probiotics Deficiency
One can not be at peak of health if one has a probiotic deficiency. The symptoms of a
probiotic deficiency vary from man to man but can include one or more of the following
+ Constipation or diarrhea
+ Incomplete digestion
+ Indigestion
+ Heartburn
+ Lactose intolerance
+ Excess gas and bloating
+ Weak immune response (frequent colds and infections)
+ Low energy
+ Fatigue
+ Food allergies
+ Muscle weakness
Food Sources of Probiotics
There is a broad range of probiotic supplements that immensely help in enhancing the
number of friendly micro-organisms in the gut, but it is obviously better to consume natural
probiotics rich foods like kefir and yogurt for better results. Foods that contain probiotics
include
+ Yogurt
+ Miso soup

Need for Probiotics Supplementation
Probiotics are healthy, friendly bacteria that are similar to organisms that usually occur in
the digestive tract. Certain types or strains of probiotics have been linked to various types
of health benefits, from helping with traveler's diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome to
boosting the immune system. They are many times used with antibiotics to combat the
problems of diarrhea that can result from taking antibiotics.
According to new scientific studies probiotic supplements, can be more convenient for
some people and can provide higher levels of probiotic. One can prevent and treat some
illnesses with supplements containingcertain kinds of health-improving bacteria called
probiotics. An estimated 110 trillion microorganisms inhabit every healthy, normal bowel,
where they keep pathogens (harmful microorganisms) in control, aid nutrient absorption
and digestion, and immensely contribute to the immune function. If these gut-dwelling
bacteria become drained—usually because of stress, disease, poor diet, or medications like
antibiotics—health problems can result.

Chitosan is a carbohydrate polymer that has similar structure to sugar, Chitosan is a
chemically processed form of the chitin and is usually obtained from the hard, rough outer
skeleton of shellfish, including lobster, crab and shrimp. It is widely used for medicine.
Chitin can also be found in yeasts and mushrooms. Squid pens, are the waste shell
by-products of squid processing and are an inexpensive and renewable source of chitosan.
Chitosan is widely used in water purification plants to absorb oils, greases, toxic
substances and metals and itis also used in the fabric and cosmetic industry.
Health Benefits of Chitosan
There are several health benefits of chitosan. Here we have jotted down a few common
health benefits.
Reduces the Risk of Anemia
Chitosan deficiency is directly attached to anemia. Anemia is a medical condition where
chitosan is not absorbed by the human body properly, resulting in overall ilLeffects of
deficiency. The common symptoms of anemia are -feeling weak and tired numbness and
tingling in hands and feet, and a bright, smooth red tongue. However, with chitosan shots
and supplements, there is a good opportunity that the body can be protected against the
anemia.
Cholesterol
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is commonly known as bad cholesterol as they can
transport the content of fat molecules into artery walls of the heart resulting in clogged
arteries and can enhance the chances of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Cardiovascular
disease is a serious medical condition that involves blocked or narrowed blood vessels
which can lead to heart attacks, chest pain, and strokes. It has been proved that chitosan
helps reduce the levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL).
Aids Weight Loss
Chitosan is a great source of fibre. High fiber in the body helps you to feel full and hence
aids in weight loss. Chitosan is also known as fat binder. When a high fat meal is consumed
by a person, chitosan already present in the body will bind the entire fat and allow only
the essential nutrients to absorb in the body. The fat is then removed in the form of sweat
and bowl movements. 26(NE a
Prevent Infections
Infection is primarily caused by invasion of the host organism's body tissues by diseases
causing microorganisms that lead clinically to evident illness. The signs of infection include
loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, fever, aches, and pains. Chitosan protects
the body from the attack of bacterial infections. Chitosan improves the digestive system
and also promotes the growth of beneficial organisms.
Helps Control High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a serious medical condition that can cause heart attack, stroke,
coronary heart disease, heart failure, kidney failure and other serious health problems,
The common signs of high blood pressure include severe headache, nausea, vomiting,
confusion, vision changes and nose bleeds.
The new scientific studies found significant benefits among people with high blood
pressure who regularly consumed chitosan supplements. Regular chitosan consumption
helps lower the systolic blood pressure. When the heart beats, it pushes and contracts
blood through the arteries of the heart to the rest of the human body. This force creates
pressure on the arteries. This is called systolic blood pressure
Protect against Crohn's Disease
There is specific evidence that enhanced chitosan levels can prevent Crohn's disease by
reducing the levels of homocysteine in the body. Crohn's disease is a chronic disease of
the small intestine. The reason of Crohn's disease is unknown. Crohn's disease can cause
severe ulcers in the small intestine, colon, or both. Diarrhea, Abdominal pain, vomiting,
ever, and weight loss are the main symptoms of Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease of the intestine can cause severe obstruction of the small intestine.
Crohn's disease is associated with reddish tender skin nodules, and inflammation of
the joints, eyes, spine, and liver. A recent scientific study highlighted that with every
picomolar enhance in the level of active chitosan reduced the risk of Crohn's disease by
three percent.

Helps Improve Insomnia
Insomnia is defined as an irritating sleep disorder that is mainly characterized by difficulty
falling and or staying asleep. Waking up during the night and having great troubles going
back to sleep, Feeling tired upon waking, difficulty falling asleep and waking up too early in
the morning are the major symptoms of insomnia. Chitosan supplements immensely help
reduce the symptoms of insomnia.
Results of Chitosan Deficiency
One can not be at peak health if one has a chitosan deficiency. The symptoms of a chitosan
deficiency vary from man to man but can include one or more of the following:
+ Obesity
+ Constipation or diarrhea
+ Incomplete digestion
+ Indigestion
+ Weak immune response (frequent colds and infections)
+ Low energy
+ Fatigue
+ Food allergies
+ Muscle weakness
+ Insomnia
+ High blood pressure
+ Heart disease
Food Sources of Chitosan
Itis mainly processed by removing the shells from shellfish such as shrimp, lobster and
crabs. It is found in yeast and some fungi. It is evident that consumption of bones and
shells is not possible therefore; supplementation is the only option in this case.

Need for Chitosan Supplementation
Few weight loss supplements are clinically examined for efficacy, yet their proliferation
continues. Chitosan-based supplements are mainly sold as fat trappers and fat magnets.
They purportedly block fat absorption and cause weight loss without the restriction of food.
Researchers quantified the effect of a chitosan product on fat absorption. In
pharmaceutical manufacturing, chitosan is utilized as a filler in tablets.
Itis also used as a carrier in controlled-release drugs; to improve the way various drugs
dissolve and to mask bitter tastes in the solutions taken by mouth. The standard dosage
of chitosan is 4 to 7 g per day, to be taken with healthy foods. It can be found as capsules
and tablets. Chitosan can deplete the body of various minerals. For this reason, when
using chitosan, it can be helpful to take supplemental vitamin D, calcium, magnesium,
selenium and other minerals.

Coenzyme Q-10 is a naturally occurring quinone which is found in aerobic organisms from
bacteria to mammals. Coenzyme Q10 is commonly known as CoQ, Coenzyme Q, CoQ10,
Ubiquinone-Q10, Ubiquinone, Vitamin Q10 or Ubidecarenone. The most important
Coenzyme Q in human mitochondria is CoQ10. The 10 denotes the number of isoprene
repeats. CoQ10 is ubiquitous in human tissues, though its level is variable. The level of
Coenzyme Q10 is the highest in important organs with high rates of metabolism like the
kidney, heart, and liver (113, 65.5, and 53.99/g tissue, respectively), where it mainly
unctions as an energy transfer molecule.
Health Benefits of CoenzymeQ10
There are several health benefits of CoenzymeQ10. Here we have jotted down a few
common health benefits.
Enhances Fertility in both Men and Women,
Anumber of recent scientific studies have critically examined the role of Coenzyme Q10 in
relation to male fertility and have observed positive results. According to researchers, men
with lower-than-normal levels of Coenzyme Q10 in their seminal fluid tend to have sperm
with low motility. Researchers also found that by supplementation of CoQ10 (190 mg/day),
resulted in significant enhancement in sperm motility.
Another study examined the results on sperm health on men supplementing 200 mg of
CoQ10 regularly. In addition to a significant enhance in sperm motility, this study also
indicated some benefits to both morphology and sperm count. Powerful energy producing
activity of Coenzyme Q10 is the mechanism by which the ingredient benefits female fertility.

With the growing age, the naturally occurring levels of CoQ10 reduce, the high energy
consuming processes associated with embryo development and fertilization become
less efficient. According to a recent scientific study, older women taking up to 590 mg of
CoQ10 regularly experienced an improvement in both subsequent fertilization rates and
egg quality.

Fights Aging
€0Q10 (Coenzyme Q10) is an important component of mitochondrial function. It is
effectively incorporated into cells’ mitochondria throughout the body where it regulates
and facilitates the oxidation of sugars and fats into energy. Aging persons have been found
to have over 60% less CoQ10 on average compared to that of young adults.
This finding makes CoQ10 one of essential nutrients for men and women over 35 to
supplement with. About 98% of cellular energy is produced in the mitochondria.
he mitochondria are the body cells "energy powerhouses” and various maladies have been
referred to as mitochondrial disorders. The scientists link a deficiency of CoQ10 to
agetelated mitochondrial disorders.
Maintains Healthy Heart
The heart has the highest concentration of Coenzyme Q10 of all the tissues in the body,
and it seems logical because of its immense energy necessities.
CHF (Congestive heart failure) is one of the first conditions that immensely improve
through the use of Coenzyme Q10 supplements. Cognitive heart failure can result from a
variety of reasons and can be related to either secondary forms or primary
cardiomyopathies of heart failure.
New scientific studies have found that CoQ10 supplementation immensely helps improve
survival for even the most severe heart failure patients while radically lowering incidences
of hospitalization. CoQ10 supplementation helps restore deficient CoQ10 levels in affected
patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure, extend the lifespan, and improve the quality
of life.
Boost Metabolism
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is an antioxidant synthesized by the body and a cofactor in
important metabolic reactions.CoQ10 is essential for metabolism and energy because it
helps form adenosine triphosphate, commonly known as ATP. in the body. ATP is the form
of energy one gets from fat and carbohydrates for use by the cells. Researchers associated
deficiency of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) with a less efficient energy metabolism. A recent
scientific study has found that obese people had significantly lower CoQ10 levels than
normal-weight subjects.
31[Nr ST
Helps Control High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure or hypertension, as it is more commonly known - affects over 2 million
adults in India. High blood pressure is one of the most critical medical conditions that can
cause a heart attack, stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, kidney failure and other
serious health problems. The common signs of high blood pressure include severe
headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, vision changes and nose bleeds. Cardiovascular
disease is reaching epidemic proportions in the nation.
Of the controllable risk factors, hypertension obviously deserves especial focus, since it
affects so many persons. CoQ10 can be safely offered to hypertensive patients as an
alternative treatment option. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), has been demonstrated to lower
blood pressure in various human clinical trials.
Results of CoenzymeQ10 Deficiency
Coenzyme Q10 is made naturally in our body, but deficiency can occur due to low dietary
intake, disease or high Coenzyme Q10 use by the body. Depending on the cause of
the deficiency, supplementing Coenzyme Q10 or enhancing dietary intake may be effective.

Need for CoenzymeQ10 Supplementation
CoQ10 is available as a supplement in various forms, including capsules, soft gel,
hard shell capsules, oral spray, and tablets. CoQ10 is also added to several cosmetics.
Coenzyme Q10 in the body can be enhanced by taking CoQ10 supplements. Don't give
Coenzyme Q10 to individuals under 19 except under the supervision of a health care
provider. For adults 20 years and older: The recommended dose for Coenzyme Q10
supplementation is 30-100 mg, 200mg need to be given to those people who have low
sperm count. 300 mg is prescribed to all people of age 60 years and above and people
who have undergone bypass surgeries.
Soft gels usually tend to be better absorbed than capsules or several other preparations.
Higher doses can be recommended for particular conditions. Coenzyme Q10 is fat-soluble,
so it must be taken with a balanced meal containing fat so the body can absorb it.
Taking CoQ10 supplements twice a day increase the blood flow in the muscles, making it
more available to the heart.
34GLUCOSAMINE WITH MSM(NF a TST
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance that immensely helps renew and develop
cartilage (the hard connective tissue primarily located on bones near joints in the body),
and keep it lubricated for flexibility and better joint movement.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring form of sulfur that extremely helps
upport tendons and muscles in the body. The combination of glucosamine and
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is used to aid in maintaining healthy joints. It is also
widely used as a nutritional supplement in men and women with osteoarthritis or other
inflammatory joint disorders
Health Benefits of Glucosamine with MSM
Glucosamine is one of the most important dietary supplements for the treatment of
osteoarthritis. It is available in combination with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Here |
would like to share some information with you about glucosamine, MSM, and their health
benefits.
Helps in Osteoarthr
Osteoarthritis (loss of cartilage) is the most common form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a
chronic degenerative disease, primarily characterized by slow loss of cartilage covering
the bones and completely worn out resulting in a “bone against bone” joint, pain and
reduced motion. Osteoarthritis primarily affects the weight-bearing joints like knee joints
and hip. This condition is mainly treated by replacement of the joints by a synthetic joint,
often made by ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and a stainless steel alloy.
Common osteoarthritis treatment primarily focuses on the therapy of signs such as pain
reduction, to regenerate the cartilage and to delay cartilage degeneration
Glucosamine is an amino sugar; a chemical found in the human body that supports
the structure and function of joints. Glucosamine MSM is a precursor of
glycosaminoglycans that is a major component of joint cartilage. But natural glucosamine
levels drop as men and women age and leads to gradual deterioration of joints.
MSM (methylsulfonyimethane) is an essential element for the synthesis of collagen,
enzymes and, immunoglobin. Hence, Glucosamine supplements are widely recommended
to influence the cartilage structures and help alleviate the osteoarthritis.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Ulcerative Colitis
IBD (Inflammatory bowel disease) involves long-term inflammation of part or all of
the digestive tract. Examples of IBD include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. IBD is
extremely painful and can be debilitating and many times life-threating if there are
complications.

Examples of IBD include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's,
disease. IBD is extremely painful and can be debilitating
and many times life-threating if there are complications.
Ulcerative colitis affects area of the digestive tract while
Crohn's disease may cause inflammation in any portion
of the lining along the digestive tract, and frequently
spreads deep into the affected tissue.
Researchers in a pilot study concluded that N-acetyl
glucosamine (GleNAc), a glucosamine like dietary
supplement, showed great promise as a non-toxic and
cheap treatment in severe inflammatory bowel disease
for people who did not respond well to other treatments
(treatment-resistant inflammatory bowel disease).
be
The scientists wrote in the journal ‘Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics”; it has the
potential to be helpful in stricture disease. According to researchers from Juntendo
University, School of Medicine, glucosamine is an outstanding agent for IBD.
Multiple Sclerosis
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine, observed that N-acetyl GleNAc(glucosamine)
supplements suppressed the damaging autoimmune response that usually occurs in
multiple sclerosis(MS).
In The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Dr. Michael Demetriou, Ani Grigorian and colleagues
explained that glucosamine inhibited the function and growth of abnormal cells which
mistakenly make the multiple sclerosis patient's immune system attack and devastate
central nervous system tissue that insulates nerves (myelin).
Dr. Demetriou explained this sugar-based supplement; glucosamine corrects a genetic
defect which induces cells to attack the human body in multiple sclerosis, making
metabolic therapy a rational approach that differs from currently available treatments.
In their experiment, they utilized laboratory mice with multiple sclerosis-like autoimmune
diseases. The scientists observed that when the mice with leg weaknesses were given
glucosamine orally, the supplement effectively suppressed T-cell hyperactivity and
autoimmune response by increasing sugar modifications to the T-cell proteins. 7INLIFE

Food Sources of Glucosamine
There are no major natural food sources of glucosamine, so one must get it from various
supplements. Most supplements are made from chitin, the hard outer shells of lobsters,
shrimp, and crabs. Several Other forms of glucosamine are available for men and women
who are allergic to shellfish.
Need for the Glucosamine Supplementation
Some recent scientific studies have found that the glucosamine supplement greatly
reduces knee pain in men and women with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis.
Glucosamine sulfate is a widely used supplement that can help ease joint pain in persons
with osteoarthritis. Glucosamine has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and
several other conditions, such as asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic venous
insufficiency, allergies, temporomandibular joint problems (TMJ), sports injuries, chronic
lower back pain, and many others.
For osteoarthritis, the actual dose of glucosamine used in most scientific studies was 510
milligrams of glucosamine sulfate taken two times a day. Ask the doctor about specific
dosing. Many experts recommend taking glucosamine with meals to prevent
stomach upset.

Conclusion
This E-book deals with the various health benefits of some of the most important
nutrients vital for maintaining the functions of the body and how supplementation of
those nutrients is helpful. When it comes to chronic diseases - vitamins, minerals and
other nutrients are the best way of prevention without the use of medication. Some of
the worst wide spread chronic disease that can be prevented and controlled using these
nutrients are Hypertension, Diabetes, Obesity, Cardiovascular Diseases, Cholesterol and
Cancer.
It is true that nothing can replace the goodness of natural sources of vitamins, minerals
and nutrients ~ fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and dairy, but with the rising trend of hybrid
and GMO foods, most of us don’t have access to the pure, organic products and therefore
it is best to rely on supplements to utilize the benefits of the nutrients. In spite of decades
of intense mass education, 45 percent of all adults and children in India do not eat
the recommended five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day for good health.
Regular intake of supplements helps us immensely to combat the problems caused due
to the deficiencies of vitamins and minerals. Unlike drugs, dietary supplements are mostly
self-prescribed with no input from informed medical sources like doctors, nurses, or
pharmacists. But it is important to choose supplements from a reliable source that
guarantees about the quality and purity of the product, so that it doesn’t cause and
side effects.
