Final Word
There are many articles online that describes the health benefits of certain Vitamins, Minerals, anti oxidants and amino acids. The problem I find with this is that most of these articles are written by someone promoting the products and usually have no scientific evidence or knowledge to prove all the heath benefits usually listed.
Allot of people who do their own research on nutrients will end up spending allot of money on these nutrients and might end up obsessively taking all sorts of vitamin mixtures. The problem I have with this is you will find that most of the vitamins and minerals in these cocktails will overlap and some of the chemicals can be harmful. Most multivitamins nowadays contains Selenium which is very good for you in a dose under 50 micro grams. Anything more than this might end up doing more harm than good. a Overdose on Selenium may cause kidney damage and chemically induced leukemia in the long run. It is therefore important to know what you are taking, what is in it, if it overlaps with your other nutrients.
it is difficult to know who to believe and what miracle drugs will help you and which of these drugs will just make someone else smile all the way to the bank. I have started this site for this exact reason. Since I am not selling or making money off any medication I will provide you with a objective opinion based primarily on my experience in this field as a biochemist with 11 year retail and diagnostic experience in the pharmaceutical industry. I have spent most of my time studying nutrients and how they might increase our live span and our general health. There are miracle nutrients out there and I will teach explain how to use them and in what combinations one should use them.
I will also be discussing diseases such as diabetes, cancer, asthma, Blood pressure problems and other general health problems people experience more and more in our modern day live style such as heart palpitations, anxiety, panic attacks, obesity, impotence and other common health problems.
Healthy living is easy when you know the right people who gives you the right advice, so let me be your online guide to healthy living.

Generic Versions Of Blood Thinning Plavix Approved By FDA
Generic versions of blood-thinning medication - Plavix (clopidogrel bisulfate) - have been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Clopidogrel bisulfate reduces the likelihood of blood platelets clumping together and forming clots in blood vessels, resulting in a lower risk of stroke and heart attack. Clopidogrel is approved by the FDA for individuals who recently had a stroke or heart attack, as well as patients who have peripheral artery disease - partial or total blockage of an artery. Keith Webber, Ph.D...
PA32540 Cuts Gastric Acid Faster Than Enteric-Coated Aspirin
SAN DIEGO - The investigational compound PA32540 provides faster gastric protection than enteric-coated omeprazole 40 mg, researchers announced at Digestive Disease Week 2012. PA32540 is an investigational coordinated-delivery tablet of immediate-release (IR) omeprazole (40 mg), a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), layered around enteric-coated aspirin (325 mg). The product was developed to provide the cardiovascular benefits of aspirin in patients at risk for aspirin-associated ulcers...
Some "Good" Cholesterol May Be Bad For Heart
It appears that in some cases, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the so-called "good" cholesterol, does not protect against heart disease, and may even be harmful. A new study suggests a subclass of HDL that carries a particular protein is bad for the heart. Previous studies have shown that high levels of HDL cholesterol are strongly linked to low risk of heart disease...
How Many Calories Should I Eat?
The number of calories people should eat each day depends on several factors, including their age, size, height, sex, lifestyle, and overall general health. A physically active 6ft 2in male, aged 22 years, requires considerably more calories than a 5ft 2ins sedentary woman in her 70s. Recommended daily calorie intakes also vary across the world. According to the National Health Service (NHS), UK, the average male adult needs approximately 2,500 calories per day to keep his weight constant, while the average adult female needs 2,000...
Improving Understanding Of Psychiatric Disorders With The Help Of Zebrafish
Scientists at Queen Mary, University of London have shown that zebrafish could be used to study the underlying causes of psychiatric disorders. The study, published online in the journal Behavioural Brain Research, found zebrafish can modify their behaviour in response to varying situations...
Monitoring Fetal Heart Using Bluetooth
Checking the heart of the unborn baby usually involves a stethoscope. However, an inexpensive and accurate Bluetooth fetal heart rate monitoring system has now been developed by researchers in India for long-term home care. Details are reported in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Computers in Healthcare. Vijay Chourasia of the LNM Institute of Information Technology in Jaipur and Anil Kumar Tiwari of the Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan, in Jodhpur, explain how fetal phonocardiography is the modern equivalent of the stethoscope in ante-natal baby care...
Serious But Rare Genetic Immune Disorder Studied By Scientists
Defects in the gene that encodes the XIAP protein result in a serious immune malfunction. Scientists used biochemical analyses to map the protein's ability to activate vital components of the immune system. Their results have recently been published in Molecular Cell, a journal of international scientific repute...
Personal Genetic Test Results Have Not Driven Overuse Of Expensive Medical Care
People have more and more chances to participate in genetic testing that can indicate their range of risk for developing a disease. Receiving these results does not appreciably drive up - or diminish - test recipients' demand for potentially costly follow-up health services, according to a new study in the early online issue of Genetics in Medicine...
A change in the formulation of tenofovir gel, an anti-HIV gel developed for vaginal use, may make it safer to use in the rectum, suggests a study published online this week in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. In laboratory tests of rectal tissue, researchers from the Microbicide Trials Network (MTN) found that the reformulated gel was less harmful to the lining of the rectum than the original vaginal formulation, and just as effective in protecting cells against HIV...
One-letter switches in the DNA code occur much more frequently in human genomes than anticipated, but are often only found in one or a few individuals. The abundance of rare variations across the human genome is consistent with the population explosion of the past few thousand years, medical geneticists and evolutionary biologists report in the advanced online edition of Science...
