http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/187 Liquid Health, Inc. Offers a Liquid
Vitamin Supplement to Help With Seasonal Depression Symptoms Seasonal
Depression, also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, is a disorder that
affects approximately 6% of the US population. This form of depression can
range in severity, but common symptoms include: an increased desire for
carbohydrate foods, irritability, weight fluctuation, an increase in sleep, a
decrease in energy, as well as a loss of interest in regularly enjoyable
activities. Liquid Health, Inc. has a liquid vitamin supplement that may help
to control these symptoms. There are a variety of treatment options available
for a person suffering from Seasonal Depression. The most common treatments
include light therapy and prescription medications. Studies have been done to
test the affect of Vitamin D supplementation on Seasonal Depression symptoms,
based on the relationship between winter months and a decrease in sun
exposure, leading to lower natural levels of Vitamin D in the body. Two
studies found a decrease in Seasonal Depression symptoms when study
participants were given supplemental Vitamin D. The first study, published in
Psychopharmacology in February 1998, stated “Forty-four healthy subjects
were given 400 IU, 800 IU, or no vitamin D3 for 5 days during late winter in
a random double-blind study. Results on a self-report measure showed that
vitamin D3 significantly enhanced positive affect.” The other study,
published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging (1999;3(1):5-7)
compared the results of Vitamin D supplementation with phototherapy and found
that “All subjects receiving vitamin D improved in all outcome measures.
The phototherapy group showed no significant change in depression scale
measures.” Liquid Health, Inc.’s sublingual Vitamin D drops [1] contain
5000 IU of Vitamin D3 per serving. According to Brett Peterson, Director of
Business Development for Liquid Health, Inc., “A number of studies show
that the natural form of Vitamin D3 outperforms D2 in long term Vitamin D
levels and bio-availability, making Vitamin D3 the optimal choice in Vitamin
D supplementation.”

http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/186 Hawthorn Berry has been used for
centuries! While Hawthorn Berry isn’t included it lots of our liquid
vitamin supplements [1], it still can be used for numerous things. According
to the University of Maryland Medical Center, “Hawthorn (Crataegus species)
has been used to treat heart disease as far back as the 1st century. By the
early 1800s, American doctors were using it to treat circulatory disorders
and respiratory illnesses. Traditionally, the berries were used to treat
heart problems ranging from irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest
pain, hardening of the arteries, and heart failure.” Since heart failure is
a major problem in the United States, there has been a lot of interest in the
use of Hawthron Berry to help with its symptoms. The University of Maryland
Medical Center discusses a clinical study that “compared conventional
methods of treating heart failure (with different medications) with hawthorn
alone and in addition to the drugs. After 2 years, the clinical symptoms of
heart failure (palpitations, breathing problems, and fatigue) decreased
significantly in the patients taking the hawthorn supplement.” Our
all-inclusive daily nutritional product [2], Liquid Health Complete Multiple,
contains Hawthorn Berry. This ingredient is an important part of the
supplement’s Circulatory Support Complex. The phytochemicals in this
complex help to promote heart health. Hawthorn Berry is available in a number
of forms including solid or liquid extracts. Because Hawthron Berry is not
regulated by the FDA, so there’s no recommended daily dosage. You should
never self treat for serious health conditions, so you should consult your
primary health care provider if you’re considering taking Hawthorn Berry
for any kind of heart issue.

http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/182 Liquid glucosamine supplements may be
more helpful in colder months One of our most popular ingredients in our
liquid nutritional supplements [1] is glucosamine. Glucosamine is found
naturally in the body, generally in a person’s joints since it is a major
component of cartilage. One of the major reasons a person will take a
glucosamine supplement is because of joint pain associated with
osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is not available from any food sources, so people
who need additional glucosamine need to take it in supplement form. The forms
of glucosamine that are generally used in supplements are glucosamine
sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, or N-acetyl-glucosamine. Most glucosamine
used in supplements is made from shellfish. For those who are allergic to
shellfish there are a number of forms of vegetarian glucosamine available as
well. In addition to varying forms of glucosamine, there are a variety of
forms the supplement comes in including tablets, powders and liquid
glucosamine [2]. The generally recommended dosage for glucosamine is 500 mg,
2-3 times a day. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center,
“Glucosamine hydrochloride has been reported to be better absorbed by the
body.” Conversely, WebMD.com says, “some researchers believe that
glucosamine hydrochloride might not work as well as glucosamine sulfate. They
think the “sulfate” part of glucosamine sulfate is the important factor
because sulfate is needed by the body to produce cartilage.” According to
the Mayo Clinic, “It is believed that the sulfate moiety provides clinical
benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding
glycosaminoglycan synthesis. If this hypothesis is confirmed, it would mean
that only the glucosamine sulfate form is effective and non-sulfated
glucosamine forms are not effective.” More studies are needed to know
definitively which form of glucosamine is the most effective against
osteoarthritis. Most glucosamine supplements also contain additional
ingredients such as Chondroitin and MSM. These ingredients also help in
easing joint stiffness and pain associated with osteoarthritis. While
glucosamine is generally considered to be safe, it’s always important to
consult a medical professional before starting a new supplement program.

The amount of elemental calcium is the amount of calcium that can be absorbed
by your body. Different forms of calcium (i.e. gluconate, chelate, malate,
citrate, etc.) have a different percentage of elemental calcium. For example,
calcium carbonate is 40% elemental, which means for every 1000 mg of calcium
carbonate you take, you’ll be able to absorb 400 mg. The elemental amount
is what you should consider when trying to reach your recommended daily
intake of calcium.http://liquidhealth.posterous.com/new-content-from-liquid-health-75422 http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/169 Why are there two different amounts of Calcium listed on the Calcium label?

Modified vitamin D receptor may reduce risk of osteoporosis - News-Medical.net

2012-11-30T11:00:00.001-08:00

Osteoporosis, or reduced bone mineral density that can increase the risk of fractures, may affect as many as 30% of women and 12% of men worldwide. One risk factor for osteoporosis is vitamin D deficiency. A modified form of the vitamin D receptor present in some individuals may lower their risk for developing osteoporosis, according to an article in Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available on the Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers website.

To act on cells in the body, vitamin D binds to a specific receptor on the surface of cells. A variation in the gene for the vitamin D receptor (called the Bsm I polymorphism) may change this interaction. In the article, "Vitamin D Receptor BSM I Polymorphism and Osteoporosis Risk: A Meta-Analysis from 26 Studies," authors Fu Jia and colleagues, Kunming Medical University and Yunnan University of Chinese Traditional Medicine, Yunnan, People's Republic of China, report that people with this genetic variation appear to have a significantly decreased risk of developing osteoporosis.

"This meta-analysis provides a pathway to help determine the likelihood that a person may develop osteoporosis and is a good example for the potential application of genetics to clinical medicine," says Kenneth I. Berns, MD, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers, and Director of the University of Florida's Genetics Institute, College of Medicine, Gainesville, FL.

http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/163 Folic Acid in more detail I already
talked, briefly, about Folic Acid in my B vitamins article, however this
vitamin is so important it needs an article of its own! Folic acid is also
known as Folate and Vitamin B9. According to the Office of Dietary
Supplements, “Folate helps produce and maintain new cells. This is
especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as
infancy and pregnancy.” For this reason, women who are of child-bearing
years and may become pregnant should make sure they are taking a women’s
multi vitamin [1] with adequate levels of Folic Acid. Folate or Folic Acid is
widely available in supplemental form; however, there are some natural food
sources of folate available as well. Leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits
are the most common food sources of folate. Additionally, foods such as bread
and various cereals are fortified with supplementary folic acid. You may want
to consider your folate intake because “folate is needed to make DNA and
RNA, the building blocks of cells. It also helps prevent changes to DNA that
may lead to cancer,” according to the Office of Dietary Supplements,
“Both adults and children need folate to make normal red blood cells and
prevent anemia.” The Institute of Medicine recommends the following daily
dosages of Folic Acid: Age 1-3 years old 150μg/day 4-8 years old 200μg/day
9-13 years old 300μg/day 14+ years old 400μg/day Pregnant or nursing women
are recommended to get 600μg/day of Folic Acid because of its importance in
cell development. Because Folic Acid is a water soluble vitamin it’s hard
to get excessive amounts of it, however the Office of Dietary Supplements
does warn against taking too much supplemental Folic Acid for various
reasons. One of the biggest reasons to avoid too much Folic Acid is the
ability of increased Folic Acid intake to mask the symptoms of Vitamin B12
deficiency, leading to larger health problems. Most liquid nutritional
supplements [2], particularly multivitamins, have Folic Acid in them. It’s
important to make sure you’re aware of how much Folic Acid you’re
getting, because while it’s important, it is possible for Folic Acid to
react adversely to some medications you may be taking. As always consult your
physician if you have any questions or concerns about your current or
potential supplement regime.
