“It binds to retinol, a form of vitamin A that plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment, facilitating its transport. A recent study found that nanoplastic exposure induces structural changes in beta-lactoglobulin, impairing retinol binding and transport.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast, she discusses five supplements that address different nutritional or performance goals: omega-3, a multivitamin, vitamin D, magnesium, and creatine.”

“Vitamin D deficiency — easily corrected — compromises immune function, cognition, and longevity. Nearly half of Americans don't get enough magnesium — impairing DNA repair and increasing the risk of cancer. We are not solving these problems—we are medicating them.”

“Front Nutr. 2023 The comprehensive health benefits of fiber, combined with the vitamins and minerals in fiber-rich foods, fulfill nearly every criterion for strong evidence supporting its role in a healthy diet.”

“Some nutritional components benefit cardiovascular health, but others have no effect on cardiovascular health or may even harm it, according to a recent study. Nutritional components providing the greatest benefit include omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vitamin-like compound produced in the body.”

“A growing number of studies have demonstrated the importance of vitamin D in regulating the immune system and controlling COVID-19 disease severity. Authors of a new study found that vitamin D supplementation shortened SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitamin D-deficient people.”

“Most studies seem to show a reduction in all-cause mortality (or improvements of various outcomes) when blood status is above 40ng/ml but not in excess of 60ng/ml. I've referred to this as the Vitamin D sweet spot before and I think it makes a good argument for blood testing occasionally.”

“Re-analysis of landmark vitamin C trial data reveals current recommendations for intake may be too low for optimal health. During World War II, researchers in England conducted an experiment to determine the level at which vitamin C depletion causes scurvy, a potentially life-threatening collagen-related disorder.”

“They found that vitamin D inhibited hyperglycemia-induced NLRP3 activation and IL-1 beta production, leading to lower levels of inflammation. Further investigation revealed that vitamin D upregulated AMPK production in the cells, which likely contributed to the reduction of inflammation.”

“Findings from a meta-analysis suggest that vitamin C might reduce the incidence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Previous research demonstrated that vitamin C can triple respiratory tissue levels within an hour or two of a single oral dose of 1 or 2 grams.”
