Maternal Vitamin D Status Influences Early

pinoyusana — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:03:04 +0000

For the first time, new clinical research provides evidence for a relationship between maternal vitamin D levels and select markers of infant dental health.

The relationship between vitamin D and adult bone health is well-understood. However, until recently less has been known about the relationship between maternal vitamin D status and infant bone health. A new study out of the University of Manitoba sheds new light on this subject by examining the relationship between maternal vitamin D status and two measures of infant dental health: enamel hypoplasia (EH) and early childhood caries (ECC).

206 pregnant women enrolled in the study during their second trimester. Serum vitamin D analyses revealed that more than a third of the women were vitamin D deficient (34.5%, deficiency defined as <= 35 nmol/L). Only 21 women had adequate levels of vitamin D (10.5%, adequacy defined as >= 80 nmol/L).

Over the next two years, 135 infants returned for a dental health examination. 21.6% had EH while 33.6% had ECC. Mothers of children with EH had lower vitamin D concentrations during pregnancy, though the result didn’t quite reach statistical significance (43.2 vs 51.4 nmol/L, p=0.07). However, mothers of children with ECC had significantly lower vitamin D levels than those whose children were caries-free (43.9 vs 52.8 nmol/L, p=0.034).

This study is the first to provide evidence for a correlation between maternal vitamin D levels and infant dental health, and additional research currently underway should shed further light on this important issue.

Multivitamins May Lower Heart Disease Death Risk

pinoyusana — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:18:17 +0000

A team of researchers from the University of Washington report that daily use of multivitamins over a 10-year period may reduce the risk of death from heart disease by 16%.

Researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center at the University of Washington recently analyzed the use of multivitamin supplements, vitamin C, and vitamin E over a ten year period. Correlations between 5-year total mortality and death from cancer or cardiovascular disease (CVD) were assessed.

Data from 77,719 Washington residents aged 50 to 76 were obtained by questionnaire. A series of analyses showed that use of multivitamins was associated with a 16% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease (95% CI: 0.01-0.3). Intakes of vitamin E over 215 milligrams per day over the course of ten years were also associated with a 28% reduction in the risk of death from CVD (95% CI: 0.12-0.31).

Multivitamin use alone was not associated with a decreased risk of total mortality, but both vitamin C and E were associated with decreases in risk of total mortality. Similarly, vitamin C did not correlate with a reduced risk of death from CVD while both multivitamins and vitamin E did.

How To Choose The Right Multivitamins For You

pinoyusana — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:32:51 +0000

Choosing multivitamin is actually quite hard to do because there is so many types of brands to choose from. But, there is actually some easy tips that you could follow when preparing to by supplements.

First of all, try to get a product that contains all important vitamins and minerals that your body needs. By choosing a multivitamin that provide most of the vitamins and minerals, will cut down the number of supplements that you need for your health and it will also save you some money.

The Multivitamins should should contain the following ingredients:

Powerful antioxidants. These come in the form of Vitamins A, C and E. Antioxidants play a major role in cellular health and help to slow down the process of aging. They can help to boost the immune system. Vitamin A is known to support healthy skin, eyes, bones, teeth, hair and a healthy reproductive system.
Selenium and zinc also support immune health.
Niacin, CoQ10, potassium and other minerals help to support cardiovascular health and normal blood pressure.
Zinc and L-Arginine help support sexual health.
Calcium and Magnesium support joint and bone health, as well as heart health.
Vitamin B complex used for boosting energy levels. Folic Acid which is B9 is needed for growth, development and formation of nucleic acids that form DNA. See our previous post Insufficient B Vitamin Is Very Bad For Your Health.
Bioflavonoids and L-Glutamine help to provide immune support

If you follow these instructions, then the need for other kind of supplements will decreased dramatically.

Always seek professional medical advice before taking any multivitamin supplement if there is any doubt as to the benefits of the contents.

Tips!

There is a lot of Internet shop that provide health supplements to customer. Some of them are good and some actually bad.

pinoyusana — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:43:35 +0000

USANA is never heard of in the Philippines until late of 2008 when Google ads start appearing, announcing the pre-opening and pre-registration for the UHS Essential Health Philippines, Inc.

Whenever there’s a “new” network marketing company in the block, either people will grab the opportunity to ride the wagon and be enthusiastic with it or bring out all their anti-network marketing tools to scrutinize the new player.

As a network marketer it’s always and a MUST to check whether the company you are joining is a scam or not. USANA is not an exception.

Let’s try to scrutinize and unfold what USANA is and let’s take a closer look if it’s a scam (fraud) or not.

The Compensation Plan
USANA’s is using binary as their compensation plan. Binary plan is a typical structure in MLM. It is called Binary because it works in two’s. It simply means, developing two downlines in your right and left side. Binary is a legal MLM plan.

The Company
The company was founded in 1992 by Dr. Myron Wentz. It is a direct selling company operating in 14 countries. USANA Health Sciences is publicly traded on NASDAQ Stock Market® under the symbol “USNA.” has traded on the NASDAQ since July 1996.

Finances of the Company

The Product
USANA develops and manufactures high quality nutritional and personal care products. USANA voluntarily follows Good Manufacturing Practices for pharmaceuticals as the basic for its quality assurance program even if their products fall under the category of dietary supplements. Pharmaceutical GMP are much more stricter than the food GMP.

Training
USANA has one of the best support system in the its field. They even won the 1999 Industry Innovation Award from the Direct Selling Association for their web-based online training. Sponsored corporate trainings are also available almost everyday.

Based on the facts stated above, USANA Health Sciences is not a Scam. It’s a real business company that sells its own products and provides one the best earning opportunities in the industry.
