What’s the Best Supplement to Use (Part 2)

To continue where we left off…

Glycation is even more dangerous to your health than free radicals.  The process of glycation is complex, but basically, it interferes with the cells’ ability to get the amino acids that they need from the protein-rich foods that you eat.

The digestive system breaks down large protein molecules into smaller amino acids, which are then re-combined to form the different proteins that are needed to create cells, fibers, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints and bones. When Glycating agents, which are primarily simple carbohydrates and sugars, interfere with this process, cellular reproduction slows down. 

The result is pain, muscular weakness, fatigue and eventually chronic disease.  As antioxidants prevent free radical damage, carnosine, an amino acid complex, prevents glycation and is an effective anti-aging therapy. 

Methylation is something like the opposite of glycation.  Methylation is essential to life and if it is not working at optimum levels, you’ll start to have health problems, which may include heart disease, liver disease, depression and high cholesterol. 

The body’s methylation processes naturally slow down due to age, disease and malnourishment.  To restore the balance, the necessary nutrients include the B vitamins, folic acid, Tri-methyl-glycine (TMG) and SAM-e.  The importance of SAM-e to improve methylation is significant.  But, most supplements that contain it are ineffective, because stomach acid renders it inactive.  A supplement must have what is called an enteric coating that allows it to pass through the stomach and into the small intestine, where it can be broken down and enter the bloodstream where it goes to work.

Your daily multi-vitamin probably contains some antioxidants and B-vitamins, but very few supplements on the market contain antioxidants like: flavonoids, alpha lipoic acid, turmeric, glutathione, resveratrol, B-vitamins, carnosine, TMG and SAM-e.  An enteric coating is rarely included, because it costs more. 

The importance of carnosine, resveratrol, TMG and SAM-e are not heavily advertised, because…again…they are expensive ingredients.  A pharmaceutical company is about to release their own line of resveratrol supplements, although they are calling them prescription drugs.  Those of us that pay attention to research concerning unique nutritional supplements have been taking resveratrol for years and will continue to do so, without paying the price that the pharmaceutical company will charge.

There is another problem with most vitamin supplements on the market.  The antioxidants that they contain are synthetic, not natural.  The synthetic versions of vitamins are “similar” to those found in nature, but they are not “identical” and they do not provide the same health benefits. 

For example, numerous studies have shown the health benefits of vitamin E in the prevention of free radical damage, the improvement of circulation, for tissue repair, to reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of cancer.  But, when researchers try to duplicate these results, using the synthetic form of vitamin E, it cannot be done.  In fact, synthetic vitamin E may actually be bad for your health, because it is derived from toxic petroleum byproducts.

The bottom line is that most supplement companies do not use the correct form of a nutrient (natural) and they do not use the correct delivery system, which, in most cases, is a tablet with an enteric coating. 

Here’s where things get good. Through years of research and being a health-buff, I have found one nutritional supplement that offers everything discussed here so far.

Over the years, I have thrown away bottle after bottle or simply pushed it to the back of the shelf.  Not only were they ineffective, some of them, like B-vitamins without an enteric coating, actually made me feel sick until I stopped.

I say stop wasting money…get healthier…and possibly extend your life span.  The benefits of each of the 76 diffe rent supplements are explained in great detail at this companys nutritional supplement site .  Visit their site and learn more.  With no exaggeration, it could be the best thing that you ever do for your health.
