Zinc Gluconate vs Zinc Picolinate: What's the Difference?

By
Image
Zinc picolinate and zinc gluconate are forms of dietary supplements that we use to prevent zinc deficiency.  Zinc  is an essential mineral that our body can easily absorb. Therefore, if we do not get enough amount of zinc, we may have to take these dietary supplements as directed by the doctor. When choosing a zinc supplement, it’s important to consider the type of zinc, dosage, and supplement form. Types of Zinc Supplements   There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Chelated zinc is a general form of supplementary zinc in which the zinc is chelated — or bound — to a compound to make it easier for the body to absorb. Zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate are formed when zinc is chelated to picolinic acid or gluconic acid, so the main dif

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide

By
Image
As of May 2024, there are more than 4,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to explain the

7 Best Pulse Oximeters 2022 - Price, Ratings and Reviews

By
Image
The COVID-19 ( 'CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease ) pandemic has affected the entire world. With the number of cases increasing daily, people have already started looking for methods to keep a check on their own health. The pulse oximeter is one such device that has been widely used since this coronavirus pandemic started spreading in different countries.  Pulse oximeters, which simply clip onto your fingertip, are non-invasive devices that can measure blood oxygen saturation as well as pulse (heart rate). They are relatively inexpensive (about $20) and can be purchased for home ("non-medical") use. The best pulse oximeter for home use will probably be different from the best pulse oximeter in a hospital. Although pulse oximeters for home use are not as accurate as FDA-approved "medical" pulse oximeters, which cost much more and undergo more rigorous testing, comparison studies indicate that some (but not all) non-med

Nebulized Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 Treatment - Vladimir Zelenko, M.D.

By
Image
Nebulized hydroxychloroquine (Nebu HCQ) as 150 mg HCQ in 6 ml (25 mg/ml) of isotonic sterile solution within the first five (5) days of COVID-19 symptoms has resulted in immediate improvement (<1 hour after use) in breathing in COVID-19 infected patients. Nebu HCQ served as a rescue medication with an 80x improvement in time and efficiency when compared to HCQ tablet (400-600 mg per day) combination therapy or Ivermectin combination therapy. No adverse events were reported outside of a bitter taste that quickly subsided. The protocol used is as follows: 6 ml (25 mg HCQ per ml) per nebulizer session (15 minutes). Two sessions (12 ml total) in the first hour for patients with mild to moderate pulmonary symptoms from COVID-19. Since March 2020, my team has successfully treated over 3,000 patients with Covid-19 with the Zelenko Protocol. Our high-risk patient survival rate was >99.3% (0.7% mortality) which represents a radical improvement when compared to national data of high-r

Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack Vitamin Cocktail: Review 2024

By
Image
The  Zelenko COVID-19 Protocols  was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. The protocol has as its centerpiece, but not exclusive piece, the combined use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Zinc as a means by which a person can both help to prevent or mitigate the contraction of  COVID-19 , or can actually treat the disease once it has been diagnosed.  A  retrospective study  analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence. He has since evolved his protocols to include a quercetin, zinc, vitamin D and C protocol for low-risk patients as w

10 Best NMN Supplements (2024 Review)

By
Image
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. The NAD story took off toward the end of 2013 with a  high-profile paper  by Harvard's David Sinclair and colleagues. Sinclair, recall, achieved fame in the mid-2000s for research on yeast and mice that suggested the red wine ingredient resvera

If aging is reversible, then maybe heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's or other chronic disorders are reversible as well. The global anti-aging & longevity market size was estimated at USD 63.60 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.5% f

Best Supplements to Improve Kidney Function 2024

By

Kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining overall health by filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood to produce urine. Additionally, they help regulate blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cell production. To keep the kidneys functioning optimally, it's important to adopt healthy habits and avoid practices that can harm them. How to Improve Kidney Function Stay Hydrated A randomized controlled trial (water intake trial) investigating the effect of increased water intake on kidney function in adults with chronic kidney disease. The trial aims to estimate the impact of increased water intake over one year on indicators such as eGFR, plasma copeptin, microalbuminuria, and quality of life. The significant separation between groups in 24-hour urine volume suggests that increased water intake may improve kidney function, supporting the potential benefit of increasing water intake to improve kidney health.
