Different Nutritional Supplements

• It is best to satisfy the body’s vitamin and mineral needs with a healthy diet. However, if you experience a notable drop in your energy level, take a good multivitamin and mineral supplement that supplies at least the recommended daily allowance (FDA) of all the basic vitamins and minerals.

• Carnitine helps transport fats in the bloodstream into the mitochondria (the “power plants” of the cells) for burning. It also helps to reduce cravings for sweets and fats. Though the body naturally produces carnitine, people who are overweight rarely make enough. Taking 500 milligrams two to three times daily, especially in conjunction with exercise, can be very rewarding.

• Chromium, or glucose tolerance factor, helps to control blood-sugar levels and diminishes cravings for sugar. Take 200 micrograms of chromium once or twice daily for up to one month.

• Conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) helps with fat metabolism, improving the ratio of lean to fat tissue. Take 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams (1 to 2 grams) three times a day, before meals.

• Lecithin is a natural nutrient that helps the body metabolize fat. Take 1,200 milligrams twice daily, with meals.

• The lipotropics, including choline, inositol, and methionine, help to control blood-sugar levels, improve liver function, and enhance fat and carbohydrate metabolism. They help the body use nutrients more efficiently, making it easier to eat less. Take a lipotropic combination supplement supplying 350 milligrams of choline, 100 milligrams of inositol, and 200 milligrams of methionine twice daily, with meals, as directed on the product label.

• The amino acid phenylalanine stimulates the metabolism and helps suppress the appetite. Take 500 milligrams of DL-phenylalanine (DLPA) once or twice daily for three weeks.

• Pyruvic acid helps the body to bum calories more effectively. Take a total of 5,000 to 6,000 milligrams (5 to 6 grams) daily.

• Tyrosine, another amino acid, stimulates the thyroid and strengthens metabolic function. Take 500 milligrams of L-tyrosine each morning for three weeks.

Note: If you are taking a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor drug, do not take supplemental tyrosine, as a sudden and dangerous rise in blood pressure may result.

Endometriosis Part 120 – Endometriosis and Vitamin K

As we mentioned in previous articles, endometriosis growing somewhere else other than the endometrium also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. As we know, nutritional supplements play a very important role in treating all kinds of diseases. In this article, we will discuss how vitamin K helps to treat endometriosis.

I. Definition
Vitamin K was first discovered by Danish scientist Herrik Dam in 1929. It is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is best known for its ability of protein synthesis and blood coagulation. Dietary deficiency is extremely rare because it is produced by bacteria in the digestive system. Since it is fat soluble, it can be stored in our body and we do no need to take them regularly.

II. How vitamin K effects women with endometriosis
1. Nervous and circulation systems
Vitamin K helps to convert glucose into glycogen which is essential for improving the liver function in fighting against the forming of bad cholesterol accumulated in the blood stream causing high blood pressure, making transportation of oxygen more difficult to the body’s cell, increasing the risk of heart disease and elevating tensions of nervous system. Glycogen can be stored in the liver, muscles, and can be used in case of deficiency.

2. Abnormal bleeding
Vitamin K also helps in production of prothrombin which is an important substance for blood clotting. Women with endometriosis were found to have vitamin K deficiency leading to heavier than normal bleeding during menstruation.

3. Immune system
Since vitamin K helps to strengthen the liver’s function, indirectly it protects our body from environmental toxins that cause abnormal endometrial implants and adhesion growing somewhere else other than the endometrium as we mentioned in the other articles.

4. Cell Growth
Vitamin K is also said to be an important vitamin that helps to regulate the cellular functions including cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and protection against the cell’s cytoskeleton to break up the membrane and bulge outward causing the loss of membrane asymmetry and attachment. Deficiency of vitamin K may cause an increase in the risk of irregularity cellular growth, such as endometriosis.

5. Anemia
Since vitamin K deficiency causes heavy bleeding for women with endometriosis adhered to the abdominal region leading to anemia as a result of depletion of red blood cells in the body or inability of the body to produce more red blood cell to cover the loss during menstruation.
