Protocol : professionaleducator : 810VitB12.jpg   

August 2010
"High Dose Vitamin B12 Supplementation Strategy"
by Neil E. Levin, CCN, DANLA

In addition, supplemental free form B12 such as cyanocobalamin can be absorbed directly.  Although it has been demonstrated that only about 1% (perhaps up to 5%) of free form vitamin B12 can be passively absorbed, using higher doses of this vitamin can have biological efficacy in humans and daily oral closing at higher levels can be as or even more effective than traditionally used injectable program utilizing hydrocobalamin, or more frequently, cyanocobalamin.

"ProtoMeal™"
by Claudia Kelley, PhD, MPH, RD, CDE, CCS

In this new age of economic crisis, health promotion and disease prevention are on everybody's mind; unfortunately, this also occurs in the era where genetically modified (GM) or hormone-added foods and convenience meals have replaced many natural, fresh food products in US grocery stores.  At the same time, more and more Americans have become afflicted with chronic, quality-of-life compromising health challenges.

"Vitamin D and Mood"
by Peter Bongiorno, ND, LAc

The WHO predicts mood imbalance as the second most burdensome disease in the next decade.  Currently it accounts for 33.3% of patients in the United States and, at 160 million prescriptions annually, anti-depressants are the most prescribed medication, despite the fact that recent meta-analyses show these as no better to treat mild to moderate depression (the major prescriptive reason) than placebo.

by Amy Kosowski, M.S., LDN

The warmer months of the year are looked forward to by most people - unless they bring with them respiratory discomfort, sore eyes, and congestion.  Annual bouts with pollen and other environmental triggers can really take the fun out of being out of doors.  Seasonal allergies affect up to 20% of the American population and their prevalence is on the rise.

"Vitamin D, Part II: Perspectives on Toxicity"
by Amy Kosowski, M.S., LDN

Our improved understanding of Vitamin D's functions has led to not only a marked increase in Vitamin D research, but also in a renewed concern surrounding its toxicity.  As with any biologically active agent, doses sufficiently high enough can produce hypercalcemia, the toxic consequence of Vitamin D excess.

"An Innovative Approach to Weight Management"

With over one-third of the United States living well above their ideal body weight, the need for more innovative weight management programs has never been more imperative.  Attaining a healthy body weight is a gradual, multi-tiered process that requires dedication, physical activity, and proper nutrition.  Therefore, our Protocol line of weight management supplements is specifically formulated to address the root causes of unhealthy body weight, as well as the resulting stress that can complicate and intensify their effects.

"Vitamin E: Isomers, Ratios, and Safety"
by Neil E. Levin, CCN, DANLA

Reputable studies support the use of supplemental alpha-tocopherol to enhance human health.  Vitamin E consumption levels above 100 IU daily are associated with decreased risks of coronary heart disease and certain types of cancer.  Intakes considerably above levels obtainable from diet result in enhanced immune function as well (Weber et al.).  The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study demonstrated a 32% reduction in prostate cancer incidence in response to daily alpha-tocopherol supplementation.

"Sytrinol® as a Natural Solution for Supporting Blood Lipids" 

According to the National Cholesterol Education Program, high blood cholesterol affects over 65 million Americans. However, not all solutions are perceived as being equally viable.

"Breathe Easier with Natural Immune Support"
by Amy Kosowski, M.S., LDN

Annual bouts with pollen and other environmental triggers can really take the fun out of being outdoors.  Seasonal allergies affect up to 20% of the American population and their prevalence is on the rise.  Although there are numerous over-the-counter and prescription medications that help to alleviate these symptoms, many of these products have undesirable side effects such as dry mouth, headache and drowsiness.  Natural approaches however, work with the body to support immune system function, rather than work against it, without causing that "wired but tired" feeling.

"Protocol for Men's Health"
by Neil E. Levin, CCN, DANLA

A basic nutritional and supplement program designed specifically for men needs to take into account other factors such as diet, age, health issues, weight and body composition, amount of physical activity, etc.  It is also true than many men have restricted diets for various reasons that make eating the prescribed standard "healthy diet" impractical, necessitating supplementation.

"Use of Undenatured Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II for Oral Tolerization"
by Leonid Ber, MD. Protocol Senior Medical Scientist

When mechanical wear and tear triggers further deterioration via immune system response, it is much harder to support cartilage re-synthesis without controlling the severity of the inflammatory process.  Recently, it has been shown that it is possible to condition the immune system's reactivity to collagen via a process called oral tolerization.
