Like most vegetable oils, flaxseed oil contains linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid needed for survival. But unlike most oils, it also contains significant amounts of another essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid (ALA). Flaxseed, Flaxseed Oil, Flaxseed Oils, Lignan, Linseed Oil, Linum usitatissimum, Constipation, High cholesterol, Benign prostatic hyperplasia, Ulcerative colitis Also indexed as:

Lignan, Linseed Oil, Linum usitatissimum Flaxseed, called linseed in some countries, is a good source of dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans. Each of these components may contribute to the health effects of eating flaxseed, but flaxseed oil contains no fiber and very little lignan. microsoft

Where is it found

In addition to its presence in flaxseed oil, small amounts of ALA are also found in canola, soy, black currant, and walnut oils. Small amounts of lignans are present in a wide variety of foods of plant origin. laptop computers

Who is likely to be deficient

ALA deficiencies are possible but believed to be rare, except in infants who are fed formula that is omega-3 deficient. Lignan is not an essential nutrient, so deficiencies are not possible. Top notebooks

How much is usually taken

For promoting bowel regularity, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of whole or ground flaxseed is taken one or two times per day, accompanied by a full glass of water. When used to treat other health conditions, it is used in amounts of 30 to 35 grams (1 to 2 ounces) per day. Although it is not suitable for cooking, flaxseed oil (unlike fish oil) can be used in salads. Some doctors recommend that people use 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of flaxseed oil per day as a supplement in salads or on vegetables to ensure a supply of essential fatty acids. Some conversion of ALA to EPA does occur, ¹ and this conversion can be increased by restricting the intake of other vegetable oils.² lenovo

For those who wish to replace fish oil with flaxseed oil, research suggests taking up to ten times as much ALA as EPA.³ Typically, this means 7.2 grams of flaxseed oil equals 1 gram of fish oil. However, even if taken in such high amounts, flaxseed oil may not have the same effects as fish oil. But, flaxseed oil will not cause a fishy-smelling burp (a possible side effect of fish oil). Top hard drive

Are there any side effects or interactions

Flaxseed oil toxicity has not been reported. However, there is conflicting information about the effect of flaxseed oil and one of its major constituents, ALA, on cancer risk. While most test tube and animal studies suggest a possible protective role for ALA against breast cancer, ^{4 5 6 7 8} one animal study⁹ and a preliminary human study¹⁰ suggested increased breast cancer risk from high dietary ALA. Another preliminary human study reported that higher breast tissue levels of ALA are associated with less advanced breast cancer at the time of diagnosis.¹¹ For prostate cancer, a test tube study reported ALA promoted cancer cell growth, ¹² but preliminary human studies have shown ALA to be associated with either an increased^{13 14} or decreased risk, ¹⁵ or no change¹⁶ at all. travelstar

Excessive dietary intake of vitamin A has been associated with birth defects in humans in fewer than 20 reported cases over the past 30 years.^{7 8} Presently, the level at which vitamin A supplementation may cause birth defects is not known, though combined human and animal data suggest that 30, 000 IU per day should be considered safe.⁹ Women who are or who could become pregnant should consult with a doctor before supplementing with more than 10, 000 IU per day. gateway

Vitamin A supplements can both help and hurt children. Many people have heard that vitamin A supplements support immune function and prevent infections. This is true under some circumstances. However, vitamin A can also increase the risk of infections, according to the findings of a double-blind trial.¹⁰ In a study of African children between six months and five years old, a 44% reduction in the risk of severe diarrhea was seen in those children given four 100, 000 200, 000 IU applications of vitamin A (the lower amount for those less than a year old) during an eight-month period. On further investigation, the researchers discovered that the reduction in diarrhea occurred only in children who were very malnourished. For children who were not starving, vitamin A supplementation actually increased the risk of diarrhea compared with the placebo group. The vitamin A-supplemented children also had a 67% increased risk of coughing and rapid breathing, signs of further lung infection, although this problem did not appear in children infected with AIDS. These findings should be of concern to American parents, whose children are not usually infected with AIDS or severely malnourished. Such relatively healthy children fared poorly in the African trial in terms of both the risk of diarrhea and the risk of continued lung problems. Vitamin A provided no benefit to the well-nourished kids. Therefore, it makes sense to not give vitamin A supplements to children unless there is a special reason to do so, such as the presence of a condition causing malabsorption (e.g., celiac disease). laptop parts

In a study of people with retinitis pigmentosa (a degenerative condition of the eye), participants received 15, 000 IU of vitamin A per day for 12 years with no signs of adverse effects or toxicity.¹¹ For other adults, intake above 25, 000 IU (7, 500 mcg) per day can in rare cases cause headaches, dry skin, hair loss, fatigue, bone problems, and liver damage.¹² At higher levels (for example 100, 000 IU per day) these problems become more common. software

A controlled clinical trial showed that people who took 25, 000 IU of vitamin A per day for a median of 3.8 years had an 11% increase in triglycerides, a 3% increase in total cholesterol and a 1% decrease in HDL cholesterol compared to those who did not take vitamin A.¹³ Although the significance of these findings is not clear, people at risk for cardiovascular disease should use caution when considering long-term vitamin A supplementation. hard drives

One study found that increasing the intake of vitamin A in the diet was associated with bone loss and risk of hip fracture, possibly due to a vitamin A-induced stimulation of cells that break down bone.¹⁴ In this study, a vitamin A intake greater than 5, 000 IU per day, when compared to a lower intake, was associated with a reduction in bone mineral density that approximately doubles the risk of hip fracture. Beta-carotene (which can be used by the body to make vitamin A) has not been linked to reduced bone mass. Until more is known, people concerned about osteoporosis may consider taking beta-carotene supplements rather than supplementing with vitamin A. electronics

Data from test tube, animal, and human studies show that excessive vitamin A intake can accelerate bone loss and inhibit formation of new bone, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.¹⁵ In humans, small studies have found these effects at about 85, 000 125, 000 IU per day. ^{16 17} canon

Taking vitamin A and iron together helps overcome iron deficiency more effectively than iron supplementation alone.¹⁸ Supplementation with zinc, iron, or the combination has been found to improve vitamin A status among children at high risk for deficiency of the three nutrients.¹⁹ desktop pc

Borage oil is derived from the seeds of the borage (Borago officinalis) plant, a large plant with blue, star-shaped flowers found throughout Europe and North Africa and naturalized to North America. Borage, Borago officinalis, Borage Oil, Rheumatoid arthritis, Eczema, Infantile seborrheic dermatitis Where is it found

Borage oil is found primarily in supplements. Its presumed active ingredient, GLA, can also be found in black currant seed oil and evening primrose oil supplements. However, it is not known whether the effects of these three oils in the body, are the same. Borage oil has been used in connection with the following conditions (refer to the individual health concern for complete information) : monitor

Who is likely to be deficient

Many people in Western societies may be at least partially GLA-deficient as a result of aging, glucose intolerance, dietary fat intake, and other problems, though the exact incidence of deficiency remains unknown. People with deficiencies benefit from supplemental GLA intake from borage oil, black currant seed oil, or evening primrose oil. refurbished laptops

Those with premenstrual syndrome, ² diabetes, ³ scleroderma, ⁴ Sjogren s syndrome, ⁵ tardive dyskinesia, ⁶ eczema, ⁷ and other skin conditions⁸ may have a metabolic block that interferes with the body s ability to make GLA. However, most clinical trials supplementing GLA for these conditions has used evening primrose oil, and not borage oil. Top wipro

How much is usually taken

For the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, the amounts of GLA from borage used in successful double-blind trials were 1.4 2.8 grams daily for at least two months.^{9 10} Although 360 mg of GLA daily from borage oil has been used to treat people with eczema, controlled research has not supported its use for this condition.¹¹ Topically, 0.5 ml of borage oil may be applied to areas of seborrhea daily for two weeks, and then three times a week until the condition is stable.¹² Top lap top

Some, ² but not all, ³ research suggests that a fat-soluble form of CoQ10 is absorbed better than CoQ10 in granular (powder) form.⁴ Top refurbished

How much is usually taken

Adult levels of supplementation are usually 30 90 mg per day, although people with specific health conditions may supplement with higher levels (with the involvement of a physician). Most of the research on heart conditions has used 90 150 mg of CoQ10 per day. People with cancer who consider taking much higher amounts should discuss this issue with a doctor before supplementing. There are several anecdotal reports of large amounts of CoQ10 resulting in improvements in certain types of cancer. However, controlled trials are needed to confirm these preliminary observations. Most doctors recommend that CoQ10 be taken with meals to improve absorption. Top memory

Are there any side effects or interactions Congestive heart failure

patients who are taking CoQ10 should not discontinue taking CoQ10 supplements unless under the supervision of a doctor. An isolated test tube study reported that the anticancer effect of a certain cholesterol-lowering drug was blocked by addition of CoQ10.⁵ So far, experts in the field have put little stock in this report because its results have not yet been confirmed in animal, human, or even other test tube studies. The drug used in the test tube is not used to treat cancer, and preliminary information regarding the use of high amounts of CoQ10 in humans suggests the possibility of anticancer activity.^{6 7 8} intel

Colloidal silver is sold as a water-based solution. Colloidal Silver has been used in connection with the following conditions (refer to the individual health concern for complete information) : Science Ratings Health Concerns 1Star seagate

Who is likely to be deficient

Silver is not an essential nutrient, and thus no deficiency state exists. Top computer sales

How much is usually taken

The typical recommendation is 1 teaspoon per day, with each teaspoon (5 ml) containing 10 parts per million (ppm) of silver or 50 mcg of silver. This amount is in keeping with the average amount of silver consumed from food and water: roughly 350 mcg per day for most people. However, little in known about the relative absorption and toxicity of colloidal silver, compared with that of the silver naturally present in our diet. Because of the lack of long-term safety or efficacy data for colloidal silver, its use cannot be recommended. Top computer hardware
