“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains that alpha-lipoic acid is an endogenous mitochondrial cofactor that also participates in redox reactions. Supplemental doses are much higher than food exposure, and experimental work suggests that alpha-lipoic acid and its reduced form can help regenerate other antioxidants.”

“Another meta-analysis found that people who supplemented with zinc acetate lozenges had a three-fold faster recovery rate from the common cold compared to those who took a placebo. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the trace element zinc and its role in the immune system.”

“Ten days after the onset of symptoms, viral genetic material is still detectable in their sputum, however the risk of spreading the virus is minimal. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the evidence surrounding how long the virus resides in the human body.”

“Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate formed from glucoraphanin when myrosinase is available. In this clip from Q&A #77, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes taking an Avmacol product that supplies both components. She states that she has no affiliation with the manufacturer.”

“Using a Mendelian randomization analysis, scientists determined that people carrying genetic variants associated with low vitamin D levels have higher mortality from respiratory tract infections and higher all-cause mortality. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes what Mendelian randomization studies are and how they are valuable instruments in the scientific toolbox.”

“Disturbances in this system may heighten oxidative stress contributing to worse COVID-19 outcomes. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how vitamin D levels might affect the renin-angiotensin-system and how this relates to COVID-19 outcomes.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains why fish oil and atrial fibrillation should be discussed in terms of both relative and absolute risk. She reviews an observational UK Biobank analysis that associated regular fish oil use with a higher transition from healthy status to atrial fibrillation or stroke, while also reporting different associations after cardiovascular disease was present.”

“This is observational evidence and does not prove that morning timing caused the difference. Dr. Rhonda Patrick also describes observational reports linking coffee intake with DNA-methylation patterns and younger estimates from some epigenetic-aging measures.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes high-intensity interval training as hard efforts alternated with recovery. Dr. Patrick describes short repeated intervals and longer four-minute efforts; the appropriate work-to-recovery ratio depends on fitness and intensity.”
