My Supplements


I take a large number of supplements more or less daily. The three I regard as most essential, whose benefits are well known are

Aspirin (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2016/10/health-benefits-of-aspirin.html)

Fish oil, (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2016/10/health-benefits-of-fish-oil.html)

Vitamin D-3 (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2016/10/heath-benefits-of-vitamin-d.html).

I began taking Co-enzyme Q10 to fight potential muscle pain from the statin I take, but have discovered substantial offered additional benefits (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2015/06/health-benefits-of-coenzyme-q10.html).

I take B-12 whenever I have a bottle of beer or a glass of wine (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2016/10/health-benefits-of-vitamin-b12.html)

The most interesting new supplement that I take is Nicotinamide riboside (NR)(see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2016/10/nicotinamide-riboside-supplemeny-safely.html).

Other supplements recently added: Guarana (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2016/08/guarana-found-to-have-higher.html)

and AMPK (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2015/06/ampk-key-to-maintaining-muscle-strength.html)

I take Grape Seed Extract daily (see http://healthnewsreport.blogspot.com/2016/10/health-benenfits-of-grape-seed-extract.html)

I also take:

Beta-sitosterol
Beta-sitosterol is a substance found in plants. Chemists call it a “plant sterol ester.” It is found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It is used to make medicine.
Beta-sitosterol is used for heart disease and high cholesterol. It is also used for boosting the immune system and for preventing colon cancer, as well as for gallstones, the common cold and flu (influenza), HIV/AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, psoriasis, allergies, cervical cancer, fibromyalgia, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), asthma, hair loss, bronchitis, migraine headache, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Curcumin
Turmeric contains the chemical curcumin. Curcumin and other chemicals in turmeric might decrease swelling (inflammation). Because of this, turmeric might be beneficial for treating conditions that involve inflammation.
L- Citruline
L-citrulline is a naturally occurring amino acid. It is found in some foods like watermelons and is also produced naturally by the body.
L-citrulline is used for Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, fatigue, muscle weakness, sickle cell disease, erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It is used for heart disease, body building, increasing energy, and for improving athletic performance.
How does it work?
L-citrulline is a naturally occurring amino acid found in food, such as watermelons, and also made in the body. Our bodies change L-citrulline into another amino acid called L-arginine and also to nitric oxide. L-citrulline might help increase the supply of ingredients the body needs to making certain proteins. It might also help open up veins and arteries to improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure.

Fisetin

Several studies have demonstrated the effects of fisetin against numerous diseases. It is reported to have neurotrophic, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and other health beneficial effects.
