A Comprehensive Discussion of the Benefits of Rutin Supplements

RUTIN: 

A very important supplement to consider comes to you from Herbal Extracts+ Plus, excerpt below:

Beneficial Uses:
Rutin is a bioflavonoid, and it provides essential support molecules for vitamin C absorption (and should, in fact, be taken at the same time to gain maximum benefit). Rutin supplementation prevents the breakdown of vitamin C in the body before it is metabolized and intensifies its beneficial immune-enhancing effects in the body.


With regard to eye health, the bioflavonoid, Rutin, is said to improve capillary integrity and believed to help lower ocular pressure when used in conjunction with conventional drugs. (Interestingly, Bilberry extract, often used as a nutrient-rich supplement for eye health, is, in fact, particularly high in Rutin and can be beneficial in cases of diabetic retinopathy.)


Rutin may be very useful in combating cataracts, macular degeneration (the most common cause of blindness), and also for helping to prevent and/or fight free radical damage to the retina. The antioxidant activity that fights free radical damage appears to play a role in the prevention of cataracts and other forms of visual impairment.


Because Rutin improves capillary integrity (it works synergistically with vitamin C in this regard) by protecting and preserving the structure (permeability) and strength of those capillaries, this action is said to be of great help for capillary fragility (easy bruising and bleeding) and venous insufficiency (varicose veins and spider veins).


Because Rutin helps to strengthen capillaries, it may be helpful in reducing the symptoms of hemophilia. The bioflavonoid, Rutin, is thought to lessen symptoms associated with prolonged bleeding and help in cases of bleeding gums and hemorrhage.


Rutin is believed to stabilize the collagen matrix by preventing free radical damage, thereby helping to maintain the health of the body's collagen (the intercellular cement). Collagen is a major structural protein, forming molecular cables that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs, and Rutin supplements help to support this critical function of the body.


Rutin, like all bioflavonoids, is said to be a good source of antioxidants that act as free radical scavengers, searching for and engulfing the unstable molecules that are produced during the body's use of oxygen, which may cause damage to tissues and cells. In humans, it attaches to the iron ion Fe2+, preventing it from binding to hydrogen peroxide, which would otherwise create a highly reactive free radical that may damage cells. This activity may have a beneficial impact in building immunity against invasive infection and malignant disease, and some current studies have asserted that ingesting supplemental flavonoid antioxidants may play a role in inhibiting some malignant diseases and combating harmful infectious attack.


Current research claims that Rutin bioflavonoid supplement may promote healthy cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby promoting healthy blood circulation and possibly reducing hypertension. It is also thought to reduce the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, Rutin is said to inhibit platelet aggregation, which may also help to improve circulation.


Rutin (once again, like all bioflavonoids) is used extensively in the treatment of athletic injuries, because bioflavonoids are thought to relieve the pain of bumps and bruises. They are also reported to reduce pain located in the legs or across the back and may ease the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Contraindications:
Extremely high doses (many times the recommended dosage) of Rutin Nutritional Supplement may cause diarrhea. Rutin is most beneficial when taken at the same time with vitamin C to improve vitamin C's efficacy and help to enhance vitamin C absorption.

Visitors, you have not heard it all before.  I am posting this info, direct from Dr. Mercola's newsletter.  There is much more to the article but, the issue of sexual activity for men is so important, I had to post this excerpt.  I have read this before and so, guys, if you don't have a gal, step up your game and go out and find one!  It's an endorsement to join health clubs, go to night clubs, spruce yourself up but whatever you do, get yourself a partner, enjoy and be healthier and happier.   

Exercising

Exercise is another important factor for prostate health. You need to exercise, especially as you get older, and this includes not only high-intensity exercises like Peak Fitness but also using physical intimacy to exercise your prostate directly.
Dr. Moerck advises:

One of the reasons for why regular sex promotes male health is that not only does it exercise the prostate, but when a man does not have regular sexual activity, the sperm and other fluids must be reabsorbed into his body. Eventually, that can cause certain immunological issues.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in U.S. men, but it is a disease that can be managed and oftentimes prevented … if you make the appropriate lifestyle modifications. Ideally, you'll want to pay close attention to your prostate health early on -- avoid waiting until you're in your 60's, because even though you may be able to reverse damage that's been done, ideally you'll want to prevent these problems from occurring in the first place.

Alka Seltzer, a Wonder Drug? You Decide

Alka Seltzer increases alkalinity!  Who knew? 

Most people are not aware of the importance of having a non-acidic, alkaline blood condition for the best health.  I found this info while researching today and believe you will find it fascinating as well as important.  Over the counter Alka Seltzer has more uses than one would otherwise image, other than the standard use for indigestion. 

Egg Consumption & Prostate Cancer Risk Findings: A Direct Link to Website Info

Breaking news for some visitors might be the recent finding that suggest there is a relationship between the number of eggs that men eat and what they call a "lethal" deadly form of prostate cancer. 

I am submitting a link here but there are many releases of this information across the web that may provide additional information.  This particular article appeared to have an in depth approach to discussing the background and findings that have been published.

A New and Obviously Superior Hybrid: Calcium, Vitamin D3 with Collagen Product

Calcium, Vitamin D3 and collagen together in one supplement sounds like a breakthrough in the best possible way to me.  A new product available to the public can be seen with graphs and stats on its efficacy at Swanson Vitamin online location.  The product is called KoAct, created specifically by notable, Dr. Gu, whose product adds a kind of bone flexibility strengthening, by  way of the collagen bonding process that goes into producing this product. 

I hope I'm getting this right but, this sounds like a highly superior supplement.  I have not tried it and have I am not receiving any benefit for suggesting you consider this specific product, it just makes good sense to me that this product is not just new on the market but superior to most others that do not contain collagen binding.    

Cruciferous Vegetables

The following is an important excerpt from the website, The Wellness Directory of Minnesota,  discussing the importance of cruciferous vegetables.  The kind we need to love and not hate. :)

Cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, and Chinese vegetables. They contain indole-3-carbinol that stimulates liver enzymes to reduce levels of hormones and immuno-suppressive agents. They also contain sulfur, which is an overlooked nutritional supplement. However if the gas from cruciferous veggies is too much, try Bok Choy with only two percent sulfur.

At Cornell University, rats that were given a substance that causes breast cancer were separated into two groups and both were fed the same, except that one group got 20% ground up Brussels sprouts. 70% of the group not getting the Brussels sprouts developed cancers, compared to 13% in the Brussels sprout group. Additionally, when those who had come down with cancer were given Brussels sprouts, their cancers stopped spreading. [Cancer Letters, 88]

It is also assumed that the indoles from cruciferous veggies fight breast cancer by either converting the cancer promoting type of estrogen to a harmless form or by preventing am overproduction of estrogen. [Environmental Nutrition, August, 1995]

Sulforaphane, another phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables, has been shown to neutralize carcinogens before they could trigger tumors, and isothiocyanates, the chemicals that give these veggies their sharp flavor, "have been shown to slow the progression of cancerous cells in rats." [Health and Healing, August 1993, 3:8] Top
