<div><em><strong>peterhutch</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Use of eye vitamins can be of immense help in ensuring the health of the eyes for an extended period of time. Vitamins for the eyes can as well aid in averting numerous eye ailments.<br/><br/>One vitamin that is essential for eye health is lutein. The human body is completely unable to produce enough lutein to sustain the eye so it is necessary for you to get this vitamin elsewhere. It is believed that your body needs at least 6mg of lutein each day for optimum eye health. Since it is difficult to get enough lutein in your diet through eating healthy foods, it is important to take lutein supplement. You can go through the manual in the package or bottle to make sure it contains the essential amount of lutein.<br/><br/>Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-Carotene (pro-Vitamin A) and Carotenoids (Lutein & Zeaxanthin) are strong antioxidants i.e. they protect the eye against free radical damage. It seems reasonable to assume that strengthening of the eye defences by increasing the intake of these vitamins would be helpful in preventing the chronic AgingEye diseases. Recent well designed and controlled studies seem to support this assumption. Lycopene (a different type of carotenoid found in tomatoes) protects against prostate cancer and heart disease &#8211; therefore the protective effect of these vitamins is not just restricted to the eye.<br/><br/>Among these are the antioxidant vitamins. The eye, especially the lens and the retina is particularly vulnerable to the effects of unchecked free radicals which are a byproduct of oxygen, cellular processes and environmental contaminants. Antioxidant vitamins help to combat free radicals. The primary antioxidant vitamins include Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. in addition to their important action against free radicals they promote healthy cells and tissues in the eye. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are two more valuable antioxidants that recent research has found to be especially effective in maintaining the good health of the eyes.<br/><br/>Vitamin C found in fruits and vegetables such as; oranges, strawberries, rosehip, broccoli. Appears to reduce pressure in Glaucoma, slows deterioration in macular degeneration and reduces the risk of cataracts. Antioxidant.<br/><br/>A balanced diet, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables is good for your eye health. Eating a diet low in saturated fats but rich in omega 3 fats and micronutrients derived from green leafy vegetables, fruit, fish and nuts may help prevent and slow down the progression of AMD and age-related cataracts.<br/><br/>Vitamin A found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and liver. Deficiency is tied to blindness, and corneal ulcers. Use may reduce risk of cataracts, and night blindness. Antioxidant. Reported to improve night vision.<br/><br/>Vitamin D: This vitamin is vital for the metabolism of calcium and regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestinal tract. A deficiency of vitamin D results in rickets in young children; irritability, weakness, and softening of the bones in adults; and underutilization of calcium and phosphorus in bone and tooth formation in people of any age. Vitamin D may have a direct effect on the eyes, and it is vital for maintaining overall good health.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href='http://www.biggest-loser.net'>The Biggest Loser</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Eddy K Elgin</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Given the highly polluted environment we live in and all the unhealthy food we consume, an organic food supplement can significantly improve our state of health.<br/><br/>Why we need to increase our organic whole food vitamin supplement intake?<br/><br/>The reason is simply that in the modern society of ours, very few people follow a correct diet and have 6-8 servings of whole food, such as grains, seeds, nuts and vegetables, every day. It seems like the present trend is consuming processed food and taking synthetic vitamins to supplement your diet. However, this is not the best way to secure a balanced diet and it can even have bad long-term effects on your health.<br/><br/>You could increase your daily intake of organic whole food health supplement instead. Eating vitamin and mineral-rich food, such as nuts, whole grains and seeds are a good way of completing your diet with natural vitamins, enzymes and minerals.<br/><br/>The difference between synthetic vitamins vs organic health supplements<br/><br/>Most vitamin supplements you can purchase today are made from synthetic ingredients. These are chemical substances which have been produced in laboratories to fake the molecular structure of natural vitamins.<br/><br/>Your body is built to absorb nutritional substances from food. Therefore, most health care professionals recommend an organic health food supplement and taking your daily vitamins from whole food, not synthetics supplements.<br/><br/>Earth minerals vs homeopathic minerals:<br/><br/>Commercial supplements aimed to increase your vitamin and mineral intake use minerals such as calcium carbonate, calcium citrate and other derivates, derived from sea shells, rocks or coral. On the other hand, an organic vitamin supplement contains a mineral-rich food source along with homeopathic mineral ingredients. All these vitamins are much easier to absorb and assimilate by the human body.<br/><br/>What are the benefits of an organic health supplements?<br/><br/>1) These supplements have no synthetic or isolate ingredients.<br/><br/>2) They contain only complete whole food vitamins.<br/><br/>3) These supplements do not have any sea shell, rock or coral derived minerals.<br/><br/>4) Organic whole food vitamin supplements include homeopathic minerals.<br/><br/>5) They increase the intake of whole foods, such as seeds, nuts and grains.<br/><br/>6) They do not include any chemical, additive or synthetic ingredients.<br/><br/>7) They have a lacto-vegetarian formula.<br/><br/>In conclusion, an organic whole food vitamin supplement can be very effective in ensuring a healthy diet and prevent vitamin deficiencies, alongside all the symptoms that come along.<br/><br/>After knowing what is actually organic whole food health supplements, and alongside this little information may be enough for you to choose your supplements more carefully and to consume more or less. Earlier you are going to swallow any type of vitamin health food, you need to first consult your doctor.<br/><br/>However, many people sometimes tend to forget the quality and quantity of popping these supplements, without realizing the harmful effects of over-consumption it, level while various kinds of these can treat chronic diseases.<br/><br/>Therefore, without a proper understanding of using organic whole food health supplements to treat many chronic diseases, there will not be much disease free lifestyle to craving for.<br/><br/>Apply effective tips as being highlighted here, together alongside an thorough understanding of vitamin supplements is important so that you enjoy your life once again.<br/><br/>Eddy K Elgin is the author of the Vitamin and Mineral Content and Resource Blog.

<div><em><strong>Chris Daino</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Myth #1 – Synthetic Vitamins will make you healthy<br/><br/>In an effort to protect themselves and their families from frightening and serious health problems, people are changing their diets and are taking herbs and supplements.<br/><br/>Why do they need vitamin supplements? Due to the depletion and demineralization of topsoil, the contaminations of produce from pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, the over processing, enriching and preservation – foods just don’t have the same nutritional value they once had. To get the same amount of iron that was available to Popeye in one can of spinach, today he would have to consume 65 cans. An orange that once contained 50 mg of natural Vitamin C complex in 1950, now contains 5 mg.<br/><br/>We’ve all have gotten used to reading literature proclaiming the benefits of vitamins, deciding what is wrong with us and heading to the health food store to buy what we’ve decided we need We often end up buying all kinds of supplements &#8211; but are we any healthier? People are still fatigued, still overweight, still fighting the cholesterol battle, etc. etc. etc.<br/><br/>The body runs on vitamins, minerals, nutrients and oxygen just like your car runs on gas, water and oxygen. But what happens if you put the wrong gas, or worse some other liquid, into your car? Not only will it not work, it may damage the engine. The same thing can happen when you put the wrong vitamins in your body.<br/><br/>We can get healthier if we understand what most vitamins today really are – they’re synthetic. Let’s talk about synthetic vitamins<br/><br/>What are synthetic vitamins made of? Let’s define some words:<br/><br/>Natural: These are vitamins not tapered with and are the way they are in nature, not tapered with in any way that might change their molecular structure or biochemical actions. This can also be called whole food supplements.<br/><br/>Crystalline – these are vitamins originally from food but treated with heat, caustic, high-powered solvents (such a s benzene or toluene) chemicals, and distillations to reduce them to a specific vitamin.<br/><br/>Synthetic – These are vitamins made in a laboratory that are chemically reconstructed versions of the crystalline vitamins from other known sources. Thiamine mononitrate (a synthetic vitamin labeled as B1), is made from coal. It’s not “organic” just because it has carbon in its molecular structure.<br/><br/>One of the most perilous deceptions is the passing off of these phony, synthetic vitamins and saying that the body does not know the difference. In the long run, we will compound our health problems by taking them.<br/><br/>Keep in mind that synthetic vitamins are not the vitamin available in foods, but synthesized (made in a laboratory) fractions (parts) of a vitamin complex, The analogy here is essentially the same as an automobile salesman handing you a wheel from a car and telling you the wheel is an automobile.<br/><br/>In an example we look at vitamin C. You can buy “vitamin C” that is called<br/><br/>”Ascorbic Acid”. Ascorbic acid is only one small part of the vitamin C complex. Vitamin C has enzymes, co-enzymes, antioxidants, trace elements, activators, and other unknown factors that enable the vitamin to go into the biochemical operation.<br/><br/>In turn, the human physiology cannot properly utilize these synthetic fractions in the way that natural complexes work in the body and are essential to tissue repair and the sustenance of life.<br/><br/>When a person starts taking a fraction of a vitamin – and has sufficient reserves in his body of all the other components of the vitamin to recombine and process, the person may experience some improvement for a time. However when those reserves are drained, the vitamin will no longer benefit the person. Thus, a person may feel an increase in energy for a short period of time, but if taken for an extended period of time, the effects will reverse.<br/><br/>When vitamins were first discovered, they were discovered in foods. When foods were studied a lot was learned. Studies that show that vitamins work use a food source nutrient. In studies showing that vitamins don’t work, a synthetic was always used.<br/><br/>Additionally, the body actually has to recognize what you are putting into your body as food. Like the finicky cat, that looks at some new food offered it and says “what is that?” You’re body does the same thing. It doesn’t recognize the synthetic vitamins and often just sends it right back out of the body.<br/><br/>A synthetic vitamin fraction can only be utilized for a drug or pharmacological effect. The effect of a drug is palliative &#8211; meaning a making or covering over of symptoms &#8211; it isn&#8217;t curative. The disease process remains unchanged or progressively gets worse for lack of proper attention.<br/><br/>What is needed is vitamins that come from whole food, which comes along with all the co-factors present when you eat a food.<br/><br/>Tissue and cell repair, or replacement, require the following to restore the approximately 24 billion cells that break down each day in the human body.<br/><br/>·A constant, uninterrupted nerve impulse supply<br/><br/>·A constant, uninterrupted blood supply<br/><br/>·All of the VITAMINS in a natural, complex form.<br/><br/>·All of the minerals in an organic form in most instances<br/><br/>·All of the trace elements essential to metabolism<br/><br/>·All of the enzymes, coenzymes, and apoenzymes<br/><br/>·All of the 22 or more amino acids from protein hydrolysis<br/><br/>·A discontinuance of organic or inorganic poisons either inhaled or ingested in bad air, bad food and/or bad water.<br/><br/>This doesn’t happen using fractionated vitamins.<br/><br/>What is a natural vitamin or supplement? It is a whole food supplement, made from food, not made in the laboratory.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href='http://www.weightlossjournal.us'>Weight Loss Journal</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Tom alter</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and plays an important role in vision, development and maintenance of healthy skin, hair, mucous membranes; immune functions; and reproduction.<br/><br/>Vitamin A is also called retinol. It may be found in any of these forms:<br/><br/>·	retinol &#8211; the animal form of vitamin A<br/><br/>·	other retinoids &#8211; retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and related compounds<br/><br/>·	carotenoids &#8211; organic pigments that are naturally occurring in plants.<br/><br/>Daily requirement of Vitamin A –<br/><br/>Measurement of the amount of vitamin A is taken in retinol activity equivalents (RAE).<br/><br/>The recommended daily requirement for vitamin A is 700 RAE (retinol activity equivalent) per day for women and 900 RAE per day for men. The requirements are different for growing children, during puberty, and for women who are pregnant or lactating; therefore, please consult your doctor for differences.<br/><br/>Benefits of Vitamin A –<br/><br/>«	Vitamin A promotes healthy surface linings of the eyes and the respiratory, urinary and intestinal tracts.<br/><br/>«	Helps the skin and mucous membranes function as a barrier to bacteria and viruses.<br/><br/>What are the good sources of Vitamin A?<br/><br/>Eating a variety of foods that contain vitamin A (and carotenes) is the best way to get an adequate amount. Fit individuals who eat a balanced diet rarely need supplements. In fact, too much vitamin A can be toxic.<br/><br/>Alcohol, coffee, or excessive iron can all deplete the body&#8217;s supply of this essential vitamin. But, the good news is that vitamin A is readily available from numerous food sources.<br/><br/>It can be obtained from food in two different forms –<br/><br/>1. Pre-formed vitamin A (called retinol or retinal), found in animal sources. Sources include liver, whole milk, and some fortified food products.<br/><br/>2. Pro-vitamin A (beta-carotene), from plant sources. Come from colourful fruits and vegetables.<br/><br/>The top ten vitamin A-rich foods:<br/><br/>·	liver<br/><br/>·	sweet potato<br/><br/>·	carrots<br/><br/>·	mango<br/><br/>·	spinach<br/><br/>·	cantaloupe<br/><br/>·	dried apricots<br/><br/>·	milk<br/><br/>·	egg yolk<br/><br/>·	mozzarella cheese<br/><br/>Low fat and skimmed milk is often fortified with vitamin A because it is removed from milk with the fat.<br/><br/>Vitamin A in foods that come from animals is well absorbed and used efficiently by the body. Vitamin A in foods that come from plants is not as well absorbed as animal sources of vitamin A.<br/><br/>A word of caution: <br/><br/>Too much vitamin A, either from animal sources or supplements, can prove toxic and is particularly dangerous during pregnancy. Excess beta carotene, on the other hand, isn&#8217;t toxic but can give one a distinct orange hue.<br/><br/>What are the risks associated with vitamin A deficiency?<br/><br/>Zinc is required to make retinol binding protein (RBP) which transports vitamin A in the body. Therefore, a deficiency of zinc limits the body&#8217;s ability to move vitamin A from the liver to body tissues.<br/><br/>«	Night blindness is one of the first signs of vitamin A deficiency.<br/><br/>«	Vitamin A deficiency diminishes the ability to fight infections, such as pneumonia.<br/><br/>«	Deficiency may increase a child&#8217;s risk of developing respiratory infections, diarrhea, decreased growth rate, slow bone development, and decrease likelihood of survival from serious illness.<br/><br/>Vegans who do not consume eggs and dairy foods need provitamin A carotenoids to meet their need for vitamin A. They should include a minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables in their daily diet and regularly choose dark green leafy vegetables and orange and yellow fruits to fulfil recommended amounts of vitamin A.<br/><br/>Vitamin A storage –<br/><br/>Vitamins are easily destroyed and washed out during food preparation and storage.<br/><br/>«	If you want to get the maximum vitamin possible from food, refrigerate fresh produce, and keep milk and grains away from strong light.<br/><br/>«	Vitamin A can be lost from foods during preparation, cooking, or storage. To retain vitamin A:<br/><br/>«	Serve fruits and vegetables raw whenever possible.<br/><br/>«	Keep vegetables and fruits covered and refrigerated during storage.<br/><br/>«	Steam vegetables , roast or bake meats instead of frying. Some vitamin A is lost in the fat during frying.<br/><br/>«	If you take vitamin supplements, store them at room temperature in a dry place that is free of moisture.<br/><br/>What happens if Vitamin A is taken too much?<br/><br/>Some research suggests that having more than an average of 1.5mg per day of vitamin A over many years may affect bones and make them more likely to fracture when older.<br/><br/>Older people, particularly women, are already at risk of osteoporosis. This is where bone density reduces and so the risk of fractures increases.<br/><br/>If pregnant, having large amounts of vitamin A can harm your unborn baby. Therefore, if you are pregnant or thinking of having a baby, you should avoid eating liver or liver products because these are very high in vitamin A. You should also avoid taking supplements that contain vitamin A.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href='http://www.biggest-loser.net'>The Biggest Loser</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Eddy K Elgin</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Are all the claims that liquid vitamin supplements really true as they are being claimed.<br/><br/>Too be honest, how much hype and craze has be given for this popular form of vitamin health food.<br/><br/>Let us share the methodology of liquid vitamin supplements and hopefully you will be able to decide if they are right for you, or if you can trust your old, traditional multi-vitamin food, and that&#8217;s fine with us.<br/><br/>What are the advantages of using liquid form of vitamin?<br/><br/>The first advantage of taking liquid vitamin supplements is the ease of consuming it. More people are having an issue of swallowing tablets, capsules and even vitamins pills, which in this case the liquid form is a good alternative.<br/><br/>Also there are even flavored versions starting to come out so that the liquid form are actually pleasant to take.<br/><br/>One more advantage of the such form is that they are absorbed easier from the body than the pills. The reason for this is that the vitamins do not need to be broken down to be absorbed. They are taken up directly through the digestive process.<br/><br/>However, please take note that when using good reliable liquid vitamin supplemets, one major drawback is that up to 90% of the it may be destroyed in the stomach. Whereas, when taking this type of pills you will not have this problem as they already have a protective coating that lets them enter the intestines where they are being absorbed properly.<br/><br/>Thus, consuming good reliable liquid vitamin supplements may end up wasting this health supplement or even your daily vitamin intake allows it.<br/><br/>What are the various forms of liquid vitamin health supplements?<br/><br/>Consuming effervescent tablets<br/><br/>This type of supplement appear to be in the form of tablets. But in order to drink them you need to put the vitamins in a cup of water. Usually, these vitamins have different flavors can actually be a pleasure to drink. Still there are many contradictory opinions about whether they are effective or not due to the initial issues raised above.<br/><br/>In the health supplements market, some products actually work perfectly fine like this (think energy drinks and caffeine related drinks) as they work through a different body function. But for normal macro nutrients and vitamins, the stomach will destroy most of it.<br/><br/>Personally speaking, it is best to continue to take good and reliable liquid form health supplements as an alternative to replace the pill form of vitamin supplements. Having said that, many people that may include you, do not really fancy taking this new alternative, which may suspect whether such supplements will actually work or not.<br/><br/>Besides knowing what are tips of consuming good reliable liquid vitamin supplements, this should give you another choice of health supplements thus should enable your health to get a good booster. Before you are going to consume any type of liquid vitamin health food, you need to first consult your physician.<br/><br/>However, many people sometimes tend to forget that even though there may be many types of good reliable liquid vitamin health food around, but having the right knowledge to use the right type of vitamin supplements to the max for various kinds of chronic of illnesses is crucial. Therefore, without a proper understanding of using various kinds of health supplements to treat various anxiety and anger management system, there will not be much panic attack free lifestyle to hope for.<br/><br/>Apply this effective tips together with an thorough understanding of vitamin supplements is important so that you enjoy your life once again.<br/><br/>Eddy K Elgin is the author of the 17 Minutes Vitamin Supplements Tips and Resource.

<div><em><strong>Tony Jacowski</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Known as cobalamin, Vitamin B12 can help the body maintain good health. Vitamin B12 is very important in the bodies food to energy conversion process. It is required to help carbohydrates, fats and proteins convert into energy. Vitamin B12 is also essential in the prevention of heart disease and other illnesses by maintaining healthy red blood cells. Vitamin B12 will also help build up white blood cells which strengthens the immune system. In addition, an added benefit of vitamin B12 is related to the nerve cells, it helps make a protective covering for the nerve cells. The protective barrier of the nerve cells is a fatty layer that is most important in the brain.<br/><br/>Despite the benefits of vitamin B12 your body only needs small amounts of this vitamin. Foods such as liver, eggs and other animal products contain vitamin B12. Even though small amounts are required you should have a regular intake of vitamin B12. However, without the intrinsic factor in the stomach, vitamin B12 can&#8217;t be used easily by the human body. The intrinsic factor must be sufficient enough to absorb vitamin B12 otherwise the absorption will be hard. The proper amount of vitamin B12 can be obtained through the food we consume. The body will use the amount of B12 needed and then recycle the rest. However, vegetarians need to take B12 supplements since vegetables don&#8217;t contain proper amounts of vitamin B12.<br/><br/>Anemia is a common effect in those who have a deficiency of vitamin B12. This is because there isn&#8217;t enough B12 to help produce enough red blood cells. However, anemia can also result in the intestine doesn&#8217;t have a sufficient intrinsic factor. The intrinsic factor can drop below sufficient in people over fifty which makes these people more susceptible to anemia as well as other diseases. In addition, children and women who are pregnant have an increased risk of developing anemia. Vitamin B12 is needed to help support a child&#8217;s growth and the growth of a baby inside a woman&#8217;s womb.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href='http://www.lowerhighcholesterol.net/high-cholesterol'>Lower High Cholesterol</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Jake Saab</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>The B5 vitamin is also known as Pantothenic Acid. The B5 vitamin is the most prolific of all the vitamins and is found in every type of food. In fact, it is impossible for a person to consume less B5 vitamin than they need. That means that there is no little possibility that a person can have a B5 vitamin deficiency. For this reason, there is actually no recommended daily amount that health professionals can state as everyone obtains more than enough from their normal food consumption. However, even though there is no need to calculate a recommended daily allowance it does not mean that the B5 vitamin is not vital for a healthy body and mind. In fact, the B5 vitamin is essential for turning food into energy amongst other functions. The B5 vitamin is responsible for taking the fats and carbohydrates into energy.<br/><br/>Some B5 vitamin can be found in almost every food whether it is animal or vegetable. Obviously there are some sources of the B5 vitamin that are better than others but a balanced diet will provide more than enough. The foods with the highest B5 vitamin content are organ meats, salmon, eggs, beans, milk, and whole grains. It is worth noting that the B5 vitamin is lost when grains are milled into flour and tends not to beaded back in. Therefore, processed grain foods such as bread, pasta, rice, breakfast cereal, and baked goods are not good sources of the B5 vitamin.<br/><br/>The B5 vitamin is the most effective when it is combined with other B vitamins especially thiamin or B1, riboflavin or B2, niacin or B3, pyridoxine or B6, and biotin. Along with these other B vitamins, the B5 vitamin is an integral part in a number of processes. The most important of these is the production of energy from food that is consumed and this is known as the Kreb&#8217;s cycle. The B5 vitamin is also required for releasing energy from fats.<br/><br/>Interestingly, the B5 vitamin is also considered to be helpful in reducing stress. This is chiefly due to the fact that during periods of stress, the body produces more of certain hormones such as adrenalin and these require the B5 vitamin. There are many theories as to the benefits of the B5 vitamin but there is no need for the majority of people to actively seek out foods that are high in B5 as they are likely to be consuming far more than is needed already. There are no adverse effects to consuming too much B5 vitamin.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href='http://www.lowerhighcholesterol.net/high-cholesterol'>Lower High Cholesterol</a></div>
