Proanthocyanidins may prevent periodental disease

RalphMeredith — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:24:02 +0000

Proanthocyanidins have been reported to possess a wide range of biologic properties against oxidative stress. For this reason a recent study was conducted using Proanthocyanidins to see if they hold potential to protect against periodontopathogens. The study conducted in Canada, demonstrated that Proanthocyanidins have potent antioxidant properties and should be considered a potential agent in the prevention of Periodontal diseases. Periodontal diseases are diseases involving bone loss, pockets and recession of gums. More research is needed to confirm these findings.

Proanthocyanidins may defend brain activity

At Bangalore University’s Department of Zoology in India, scientists conducted a study involving rats which showed that proanthocyanidins (PA) consumed in a moderately low quantity provides antioxidant protection of the brain. Researchers concluded that PA may have a potent role in enhancing cognition in older rats. This is possibly exciting news for humans, however, more human research would provide a fuller understanding of a PA/human relationship.

“In my medical practice, the majority of health challenges I see in my patients can be attributed to free radical damage and the lack of antioxidant protection. I strongly recommend a nutritional program high in antioxidants that is easy to take and easy for the body to use. From my professional research and experience, I have found that no other nutritional program comes close to Vemma for it’s bioavailability, efficacy and convenience.”

Multivitamin/Mineral Supplementation help older adults reduce risk

RalphMeredith — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 20:46:42 +0000

A recent research trial was conducted to study the effects of multivitamin/mineral supplements on older adults who are already consuming a nutrient-fortified diet. Eighty adults between the ages of 50-87 participated in the eight-week double blind, placebo controlled trial. The objective of the study was to determine whether a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement could improve the body’s micronutrient status and the blood’s antioxidant capacity.

After measuring various nutrient blood levels and other blood indicators in the participants, researchers concluded that supplementation with a multivitamin formulated at about 100% Daily Value can increase the vitamin status in older adults and improve their micronutrient status to levels associated with reduced risk for several chronic diseases.
