myLot Discussions on Alpha Lipoic Acid | | Where do we get L-Carnitine | | L-carnitine is amino acid that is found in nearly all cells of the body. L-Carnitine plays a critical role in the production of energy from long chain fatty acid. Its transport fatty acids into mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells. We shouldn't look at L-canitine as a magical nutrient that will solely shed off our unwanted pound, being physically active is still the key component to losing our bulges. | |
| | I use these things for my skin. What do you use that works? | | I use a honey mask for 5-10 mins for a great antibacterial effect. I rub olive oil on my skin for 30 seconds after being in the sun. I avoid dairy products esp. milk to limit inflammation in the skin. I take a multivitamin, a vitamin c tablet 500mg, alpha lipoic acid 2 tabs, vitamin e, and fish oil for a great antioxidant combination. They all must be used in conjuction. Alone the antioxidants are weak. Together they are strong. Any questions? What do you use for skin care? That actually works. | |

| | Glutathione: Anobody uses this one? | | DescriptionGlutathione is produced in the human liver and plays a key role in intermediary metabolism, immune response and health, though many of its mechanisms and much of its behavior await further medical understanding. It is also known as gamma-Glutamylcysteineglycine and GHS. It is a small protein composed of three amino acids, cysteine, glutamic acid and glyceine. Glutatione is found in two forms, a monomerthat is a single molecule of the protein, and a dimmer that is two of the single molecules joined together. The monomer is sometimes called reduced glutathione, while the dimmer is also called oxidized glutathione. The monomer is the active form of glutathione. Oxidized glutathione is broken down to the single molecule by an enzyme called glutathione reductase.Glutathione, in purified extracted form, is a white powder that is soluble in water and in alcohol. It is found naturally in many fruits, vegetables, and meats. However, absorption rates of glutathione from food sources in the human gastrointestinal tract are low.General useGlutathione was first isolated in yeast in 1929. Its metabolism in the body was described in 1984, and its role in cancer... | |
