What does free form lysine mean and is there a good bioavailable lysine supplement on the market?

Question by Sweet Thang: What does free form lysine mean and is there a good bioavailable lysine supplement on the market?



Best answer:

Answer by Tracy M
"Free form" basically means that there are no additives that are a part of most supplements (coatings, colorings, etc.) It is meant for people that are allergic to such substances.

Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that it is essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, lysine must be obtained from food. Lysine is important for proper growth and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage.

You can find all sort of different free-from Lysine at various online stores. GNC has a lot of supplements that you can order on the internet, including free-from lysine.

Significance of Vitamin C supplement to the immune system?

Question by Terrance T: Significance of Vitamin C supplement to the immune system?
Does Vitamin C (specifically synthetic drug supplement of Vitamin C) provide any significant role in boosting the body daily immune system? Does any of those Vitamin C supplements really boost the body immune system compared to natural sources alone?


Best answer:

Answer by Zhuzza
It's known that vitamin C is consumed during immune response, but it's not clear what roles does it play other than as an anti-histaminic (which means it tends to modulate allergy and inflammatory response).
The main known use of vitamin C in human body is collagen production: Vitamin C is a co-factor of the enzyme lysil oxydase necessary to create cross-link between collagen chains. In absence of vitamin C collagen becomes frail, especially in locations where collagen is replaced steadily (ex blood vessels, cartilage, skin, gums) causing the scurvy. That's where vitamin C gets its name (Ascorbic Acid means acid that prevents scurvy from a- negative suffix and scorbutus which is latin for scurvy).
It's also an anti-oxydant which prevents the formation of free radicals and as such helping prevent dna damage; and it is implicated in biosynthesis and metabolism of other substances like carnitine (a cytosol - mithocondrion fatty acid shuttle) and thyrosine (an amminoacid).
Withouth further studies, it's hard to say if an extra-uptake of vitamin C is beneficial, ininfluent or even dangerous, though the latter is pretty remote considering that it's water soluble and thus easily expelled by the body.

What is the Collagen supplement for? Would it help prevent skin aging?

Question by resonance321: What is the Collagen supplement for? Would it help prevent skin aging?
Would taking Collagen orally help prevent aging of the skin? I saw it in the store the other day in the Vitamin section...if that's not what it's for then what is it?


Best answer:

Answer by Adam
It's probably designed to boost collagen production.

You would get the same effect from eating fruits and veggies high in vitamin C which help boost collagen naturally.

Collagen is one of the building blocks of your skin. Without it your skin sags and other unwanted effects.

Whats a good collagen supplement for ONLY hair and skin?

Question by Tasha: Whats a good collagen supplement for ONLY hair and skin?
Okay so my hair is kinda damaged because i had bleached it, relaxed it and then dyed it but at different times so i just need a collagen that can help my hair grow faster and for it can also help out my skin.


Best answer:

Answer by Sur La Mer
Hair products are not made of glue to fix, prevent, reverse hair from getting damaged or hair loss, or make them grow . . . . they are a trillion dollar business. They also do NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss caused by heat & chemicals - hair's worst enemies.

If you want perfection, you NEED patience. Even anorexic models have long hairs, and they're not considered 'healthy'. http://www.newser.com/story/155031/12-ce… I was one, and had long hair when I weighed 85 lbs.

Babies can do that, by drinking their milk. . . . so can you, so can any of us without any help. From your: good genes, good hair care and all the healthy foods from Mother Nature, that's where you get all your vitamins & minerals for growing from head to toes. Shampoos are meant for cleaning the hair, not for growing.

If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.
DIET: Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" http://www.foodforhealthyhair.com/ http://sg.news.yahoo.com/food-for-health… - or 10 Best Foods for Your Hair.
http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/07/0…
NO MATTER which link you picked, they all suggest the same foods. Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results. Hair is dead, but hair also has electrical energy; the negative charge of damaged hair can lead to flyways and unruly hair.

Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .

CARE: 1. Washing less often, builds the natural oil your hair needs, to get them smoother, shinier, silkier, softer. Man-made products are just temporary, until you wash them again, and at the same time washing off the natural oil your hair NEEDS. Hair products just absorb on your hair if they're dry, like a sponge. Shampoo & condition is all you need.

When you wash your hair with one of those nutrient-rich shampoos or conditioners, most of the nutrients and active ingredients in the product don’t actually end up in your hair, they wind up down the drain… along with all the money you spent on the shampoo. It is HOW you use to style your hair or what styling tools that damage the hair, and what chemicals you're adding to the hair, not the shampoo or conditioner.

2. If you want your hair soft, you can briefly blow dry it, set them in curlers or pin curls them, blow dry, let them cool off, take the curlers &/or pins, finger tousle the hair or brush lightly to style. They will be silky, soft, smooth & shiny (for straight hair).

3. Cutting your split ends yourself, spend 5-10 mins. on a sunny day so you can easily spot them, using a 2" scissors, cut strand by strand, section by section, allowing new growth to take over. Then 2x a year, get a good hair cut. This won't speed things up, but it will make the hair look healthier while it's growing. Even healthy hair like mine get them, due to normal brushing & styling. but mostly from using stretchy chord for stressing the hair.

Do you think I need a collagen supplement?

Question by J: Do you think I need a collagen supplement?
You see, I drink collagen supplements three tablets twice daily (as the label says how I'm supposed to). I'm 15 yrs old, 5'3 in height and weigh 112 lbs, so I am wondering if it's necessary. I am not sure if this is doing me any good.
Here is the supplement facts for the serving size of 6 tablets:
Collagen Type I & III 6g
Sodium 0.03g
Vit C (as calcium ascorbate) 60mg
No fat, cholesterol or carbs.
It says here it's good for the joints, tendons, ligament, bones, muscles, skin, hair, nails
I take the tablets when 30 mins before a meal, when my stomach is empty (I follow the label).

Answer by CHERYL S3
you need to lower your cortisol levels in your body and lower the insuline levels by eating low carbs and drinking a lot of green tea and you will be young and beautiful glowwing skin will radiate and delay wrinkles. n forget all the expensive stuff. trust me on this one. I have been reading for years and green tea is an ancient secret. no sugar. you will lose weight and feel great and lose belly fat and saddle bags just from drinking green tea for a few weeks. YOU WILL HAVE MORE ENERGY! RELAX AND SLEEP GOOD. if you take suppliments you dont need you are giving your body something to excrete in your stool, thats all. it sells and people buy it. like shark cartilage and oyster shell calcium..you know something...they are totally worthless. our body can not digest oyster shells...it actually causes crust in your veins and sometimes leads to a stroke.
cortisol is the killer hormine and like cortisone it will make your skin thin and face fat and round. insuline makes all your organs sick and high levels damage kidneys and your heart.. it also makes your body store fat and causes a fatty liver in many middle aged people...green tea prevents this. really. it's too good to be true.

Answer by *begging*for*name
I would say, not keep your expectation too high, you'd be disappointed. Collagen and vitamin may improve your skin, the wrinkles would be lesser but they are not cure all, get 20 years younger kind of thing.

Give it a month or two.

I suggest you to keep taking the supplement without thinking about them. Later, if it really works, someone will tell you that you look younger :)
