Can eating glucosamine treat degeneration and eating apricots treat poor memory? Pharmacist reveals: Analysis of 6 blind spots of nutritional products

For the selection of health foods, Wei Xiao has shared with you many related articles. This week, Wei Xiao locked the ethnic group at the silver hair tribe, discussing the blind spots and problems of buying nutrients at the moment.

Blind points for buying nutrients for silver hair

Faced with the transformation of body functions and social structural factors, many silver hair mates use health food to supplement daily nutritional deficiency or health care needs, but often face confusion and blindness when choosing. Smile examples include the following common myths, hoping to help everyone clear their thoughts.

1. The more ingredients are, the better?

When many silver hairdressers choose health care products, they always hope that the more ingredient types, the better. In fact, "If a product has more ingredients, the smaller the content of various ingredients will be! " Why? For example, if you use a normal capsule, you can add 1,000 mg of substance (usually a specific proportion must be added). If the product contains only 3 ingredients, then after deducting the ingredients, if the ingredients are evenly divided, each ingredient may be 300 mg each. But if the formula contains 10 ingredients in total, do some have more ingredients and fewer ones, and even become a joke of "similar and easy".

So smile suggests that the more ingredients, the better. The formula should meet your own needs, and carefully examine whether the content of the health care ingredients you need is sufficient.

2. I feel that my memory has decreased before I eat 陈光

According to the study of human experience published in 2002 and 2008, 陈光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光新光� In fact, the main active ingredients of apricot are Ginkgoflavon (generally ketones), Ginkgolide A, B, C, M (diterpene compounds). Flavonoids have the effects of antioxidant and free radical removal, thereby protecting brain neurons against oxidative pressure and reducing neuron cell erosion. Ginkolide is a platelet activator (PAF) antagonist, which has the effect of inhibiting platelet aggregation and preventing thrombosis. In addition, ketones can inhibit cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase, thereby increasing blood flow, improving peripheral hematologic disorders (ex.intermittent claudication) and poor brain circulation. Simply put, apricots are antioxidant and promote blood circulation, but they have not helped the reduction of the concentration of common "neural-guided substances", so they have no improvement in international research. Perhaps this positioning should be helpful in preventing Alzheimer's disease, but it may not be effective after taking it because it has no effect on acetyl swelling.

And who is suitable for silver apricots? In fact, the effect of silver apricots is usually not good if you feel that your brain has declined and then replenish it. But there is one group that has good results, that is, elderly people with their memory has not yet deteriorated or their blood circulation is poor and they often feel dizzy (but they do not have any blood in their stomachs). People who complain about the recent poor memory may be due to poor blood circulation in their brains. Studies have shown that supplementing apricots can indeed increase blood circulation in their brains.

3. Knee joint pain, buy glucosamine to eat

Glucosamine (Glucosamine) is a type of amino sugar that humans can synthesize by themselves. It is the precursor to synthesize Glycosamine (GAG). GAG is the main component of the joint liquid and can provide joint nutrients and repair the wounded bone tissue. However, there has been some debate on the efficacy of the porcine in the treatment of degenerative inflammation, especially in recent studies, which have shown ineffective results. The relevant treatment guidelines from 2008 to 2013 do not recommend the use of glucosamine as aid in the treatment of osteopathic inflammation. The reason may also be related to the decrease in the ability of glucosamine to produce macromolecular hyaluronic acid during human aging. Therefore, the effect of glucosamine supplementation may decrease with age. If you wait until you get older and notice that the deterioration of the correlation causes soreness, you will take glucosamine before taking glucosamine, which is usually not effective.

4. I think that special nutritional products for diabetes can lower blood sugar

The commercially available nutritional supplements for diabetes are all used to lower GI (it causes less blood sugar fluctuations after taking it), but it does not help reduce blood sugar. The correct way to use it is to replace the regular meal or when you are at a leisure time. Do not take an adult diabetes milk after taking a regular meal. This will cause blood sugar to rise and control it poorly.

5. To prevent bone looseness, calcines are to choose calcines with high absorption

The current calcines with higher absorption calcines are usually lower (for example, calcines of citric acid and amino acid calcines, due to the relatively large molecular weight, the actual calcines content will be relatively low). If you want to make a calcines with a calcines with a calcines content of more than 300 mg, the physical strength will not be easy to swallow, especially for the calcines of silver hair groups, it is even more difficult. When choosing calcium supplements, some have high solubility, some have fast dissipation, and some have fast absorption. In fact, as long as the gastric acid secretion function is normal and those who do not take acid inhibitors for a long time, they will take the same type of calcium, because the "% ion content %" and "absorbance rate %" are added in a comprehensive manner. Over time, these calcium products with different salt bases can actually absorb the ion mass into the human body..

When choosing calcification tablets, you must first see the "calcification content" of the product. Similarly, the content of calcification supplements of 500 mg is marked as the content of calcification ion. Many calcification supplements indicate the amount of "calcification compounds" rather than "calcification ion". The calcification compounds will contain different proportions of calcification ion depending on their molecular weight. Furthermore, calcium carbonate requires the action of gastric acid to decompose ionic calcium. Therefore, for those with insufficient gastric acid secretion or frequent use of gastric acid inhibitors or gastric drugs, it is recommended to use non-carbonate calculator. Finally, remember not to take tablets with a dose of more than 500 mg at a time, because the peak of single absorption of calcium quality in the human body is about 500 mg, or more than 500 mg, the absorption capacity of the kidney to calcium quality will decrease.

6. If others eat well, buy it and eat it.

Many silver hair people take specific health foods, which are taken by listening to friends' introductions or advertising and taking them with the attitude of trying. In fact, if you have not passed the professional judgment and buy health foods on your own, it is like using your body as a white mouse to experience it. If you are blindly guessing, you will be so kind to you, if it is not... Everyone knows the benefits of fish oil for cardiovascular diseases, especially for people with high blood lipids. However, many people do not know that fish oil can help reduce triglyceride (TG), but it may cause a rise in low-density calcification (LDL). Consumers often swallow it in a hurry if they say "fish oil can help adjust blood fat …".

Another incident, vegetarians often produce blood due to lack of vitamin B12 in their diet. Seeing that the advertising can "replenish blood" by replenishing iron, they keep buying products with high iron quality for taking, which causes constipation and side effects of the stomach. Therefore, the smiling pharmacist suggests that before purchasing health foods, you must first consult the advice of professionals.
