“When adults with high blood pressure took cocoa flavonoid capsules (providing 862 milligrams of cocoa flavonoids) for eight consecutive days, their systolic blood pressure dropped by as much as 1.7 mmHg, and their pulse wave velocity decreased by as much as 0.14 m/s.”

“Animal studies have shown the importance of preconception nutrition for offspring development; however, long-term human trials are lacking. Investigators aimed to determine the long-term effects of preconception micronutrient supplementation on children’s intellectual functioning.”

“Introduction Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread. Up to 70% of Americans don’t get enough vitamin D, nearly 50% fall short of their magnesium needs, and 35% have an insufficient intake of calcium. These deficiencies and insufficiencies ravage our health.”

“This video breaks down, point-by-point what gene polymorphisms you might look at, and how they relate to very specific micronutrients. A few examples of genes with common polymorphism discussed are MTHFR and folate, NBPF3 and vitamin B6, FUT2 and vitamin B12, BCMO1 and beta-carotene, FADS2 and omega-3 fatty acids, CYP2R1 and vitamin D, PEMT and choline as well as APOE4 and FOXO3.”
