The future of iron supplementation
Iron is essential for the body but deficiencies are common, especially in children, pregnant women, and those with chronic conditions. Regular iron supplements often cause side effects because non-heme iron leaves reactive ions in the gut and most iron remains in the stomach rather than being absorbed. Heme iron from meat is absorbed more efficiently by the body without side effects. New supplements containing heme iron in tablet form can guarantee stable iron levels and correct deficiencies with excellent results and no side effects seen since use began in the 1970s.

Some more published studies on heme iron supplementation. A collection of scientific published studies to draw conclusions on the properties of this unique form of iron supplementation.
White paper "Iron Therapy without problems"
This white paper will discuss iron therapy in general, why it is sometimes problematic,mainly due to tolerance and practical issues for those suffering from iron deficiency.
Important groups that are discussed in this aspect are children, young girls, fertile females, seniors and people with chronic diseases such as IBD, CHF, CKD that affect the iron metabolism and how Heme‐Iron supplementation change this situation.
The target is to inform the medicinal and pharmaceutical communities of this relatively new form of therapy and why it has great benefits compared to the traditional methods.
Prevent and Treat Osteoporosis 9769352147
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become brittle and prone to fractures due to loss of bone density. It is estimated that over 300 million Indians have osteoporosis. Symptoms may not appear until a fracture occurs. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, small frame size, smoking, excessive alcohol, low calcium intake, and medications like corticosteroids. Diagnosis involves a bone density scan, with results given as a T-score. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and bone-boosting drugs. Maintaining bone health throughout life can help prevent osteoporosis and fractures later in life.

10 facts about heme iron you need to know
Iron cannot be substituted by anything else.
Iron is an important part of the red blood cells that carry oxygen to all the cells of the body. If we don´t have enough we easily run short of breath, get tired and have problems concentrating. Our bodies contain 4-5 grammes of iron. It may be difficult to get enough of this important nutrient unless meat courses are part of the diet. Fruit, cereals and vegetables contain relatively little of useful iron. If you’re suffering from low iron, no amount of vitamins or any other supplement is going to change it.
What do we know II, some more published studies on heme iron
Heme iron is not affected by other simultaneously ingested food or drink.
Proton-pump inhibitors such as Losec e.g stops the uptake of non-heme iron leading to iron depletion in
many cases.
Heme iron enters as a whole structure without disintegrating before uptake and does not compete with non-heme iron for uptake.
There are few, if any, side-effects and good efficacy for heme iron when used with fertile females.
Heme Iron works well with children and is absorbed to a greater degree than syntethic iron. It will also not inhibit zinc absorption.
Heme iron will not interact with non-heme iron for uptake or efficacy.
What do we know about heme iron?
Heme iron is absorbed more efficiently than non-heme iron from supplements and food. Several published studies show that heme iron is absorbed through a specific pathway in duodenal cells, resulting in uptake that is substantially higher than non-heme iron. Heme iron supplementation also causes fewer side effects and has higher tolerance than non-heme iron. Due to its higher absorption and tolerance, heme iron has potential to improve anemia treatment and reduce costs compared to current non-heme iron medications and supplements.

This document discusses ensuring better bone health according to the National Institute of Health. It begins by explaining that bone is made up of collagen, which provides structure, and calcium phosphate, which adds strength. It then discusses why bone health is important in supporting the body and protecting organs. Several factors that affect bone health are outlined, including diet low in calcium, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol use, gender, age, and body size. Weak bones can lead to conditions like osteoporosis and arthritis. The document concludes by outlining five simple steps towards healthier bones according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation: getting enough calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, talking to
The Calcium Supplement Controversy
About two out of three Americans do not meet the Recommended Daily Allowance for calcium, which partly explains why osteoporosis or osteopenia (inadequate bone density) affects the majority of post-menopausal women and is increasingly common in men. For that reason, next to multivitamins, calcium pills are the most commonly consumed daily over-the-counter supplement.
Unfortunately, recent studies suggest that traditional mono-nutrient calcium supplements might increase risk of heart issues by accelerating calcified plaque build-up in your coronary arteries. In this webinar Dr. James O'Keefe will teach you how to optimize bone strength, while at the same time promoting heart health through proper calcium consumption.

It is also important for nerve and muscle function. The recommended daily intake varies depending on age and physiological state. Dietary sources of calcium include dairy products, leafy greens, fish, and fortified foods. Calcium balance is regulated by hormones like parathyroid hormone and calcitonin. Deficiencies can increase the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
Hazards of fast food
This document discusses the health hazards of fast food, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, depression, and heart disease. It claims that fast food is high in calories, refined fats, refined sugars, sodium, and lacks essential minerals and vitamins. Regular consumption of fast food is linked to a 58% higher risk of depression and can cause sexual dysfunction due to fatty acids decreasing libido, fertility, and sperm counts. The document encourages people to make healthy decisions by saying no to fast food, eating home-cooked meals instead of eating out, buying local and organic foods, and prioritizing health overall.
Case study 2012
Dolores Welborn, a 28-year-old pregnant attorney, experiences symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and leg cramps. Her physician examines her and finds signs of anemia. Blood tests confirm Dolores has iron deficiency anemia. She is prescribed oral iron supplements, which eliminate her symptoms within a couple weeks. Iron deficiency anemia, the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, occurs when the body does not have enough iron. It can develop during periods of growth or without sufficient iron intake. While mild cases have few symptoms, severe anemia can cause extreme fatigue and problems for pregnant women and children.
Bone Health, Nutrition and Epilepsy
This document discusses bone health and osteoporosis in people with epilepsy. It notes that epilepsy and anti-seizure medications can increase the risk of osteoporosis. Maintaining bone health requires adequate nutrition, exercise, sleep, and hydration. Osteoporosis screening is recommended, and treatment options like calcium supplements, vitamin D, and medications can help if osteoporosis is diagnosed. Lifestyle factors and medication choices impact bone remodeling throughout life.

The target is to inform the medicinal and pharmaceutical communities of this relatively
new form of therapy and why it has great benefits compared to the traditional methods.
Blood donors
Since blood donation is voluntary and this is a free service for the fellow man it´s natural to ”guard the sources”. This means that blood donors should receive iron supplementation to compensate for iron loss from the blood donated, especially if low values are detected.
This has not always been the case because of low efficacy and frequent side-effects from the non-heme iron given.
Iron Salt Comparison New
The document discusses newer aspects of iron supplementation. It summarizes that iron amino acid chelate, or ferrous bis glycinate, has advantages over other forms of iron supplementation, including being non-buffered in the stomach, non-precipitated in the intestine, not antagonized by phytates, and having superior and dependable bioavailability due to its unique chelate design, which potentially allows for smaller doses with fewer side effects. The document examines what is known, unknown, and needs to be known about different forms of iron supplementation and their absorption parameters.

Some dietary supplements may help to ensure that you get an adequate dietary intake of essential nutrients; others may help you reduce your risk of disease.
What you need to know about heme iron
All regular supplements are synthetic/artificial. They feature chemically bonded iron such as Ferrous Sulphate.
Today there are heme iron supplements available that are made with natural bovine hemoglobin.
Heme iron is by far the best-tolerated and efficient form of iron.
Role of iron
Iron is a mineral that serves three main functions in the human body: carrying oxygen, maintaining the immune system, and aiding energy production. There are two types of iron - heme iron found in meat which is well-absorbed, and non-heme iron found in plants which is not as well-absorbed and can vary from under 1% to 20% absorption depending on one's iron stores. Insufficient iron intake can lead to fatigue, infections, and impaired learning. Hepcidin regulates iron absorption by inhibiting iron transport across the gut. Diseases related to iron include cardiovascular disease, hemochromatosis, and anemia.
Basics of heme iron and therapy

are safe, efficient and very well tolerated,
which is crucial for therapy success.
They give an optimal dose and can be used
over longer periods with no change in
efficacy and tolerance.

Iron is an essential mineral your body requires for everything from carrying oxygen throughout your body, to helping you feel energized. But many don't get enough, and this is where iron supplements come in. But which iron supplements are best? We've rounded up some of our favourites.
Some important facts heme iron
There are two forms of iron that the body can use: heme iron from meat sources, and non-heme iron from plants and supplements. Heme iron from meat is absorbed more efficiently by the body, while absorption of non-heme iron is affected by other foods and can cause side effects. Supplements containing heme iron derived from bovine hemoglobin are absorbed as efficiently as heme iron from meat, can be taken long-term without decreased efficacy or increased side effects, and are a good alternative for those who have difficulty with regular iron supplements.

About heme iron
There are two types of iron in the diet: heme iron found naturally in meat which is efficiently absorbed by the body, and non-heme iron found in plants which must be broken down before absorption and often causes gastrointestinal side effects. Heme iron supplements containing bovine hemoglobin provide a natural form of iron that is easily absorbed without side effects, unlike synthetic non-heme iron supplements which are poorly absorbed and commonly cause issues. A Swedish company produces heme iron supplements that effectively treat iron deficiency without the problems of existing non-heme supplements.

Virtually all oral preparations on the market are synthetic non-heme iron based which are notoriously low in both efficacy and tolerance. Ferrous sulphate, Ferrous gluconate and Ferrous bis-glycinate, and even intravenously given iron all have drawbacks in practical dosage, price and potential side-effects.
A deficiência de ferro custa caro
A deficiência de ferro e anemia afeta mais de 3,5 bilhões de pessoas ao redor do mundo (Organização Mundial da Saúde), resultando em problemas de saúde e comprometimento cognitivo em todas as fases da vida.
"Um terço da população mundial sofre de anemia e isso tem consequências econômicas graves", disse Sue Horton, professora da Universidade de Toronto em Economia e principal autora do estudo 'The Economics of Iron Deficiency'.

Most of the daily iron will be in non-heme form, which is bound in plants or bound chemically in the regular synthetic/artificial supplements. Non-heme iron is not very bioavailable, so more than 95 % will not be absorbed.
Heme iron is taken up at a significantly higher rate and will not produce side-effects like the synthetic/artificial supplements. It is also not affected by other simultaneously ingested food or drink.

Iron and beauty
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and can cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue, pale skin, restless leg syndrome, hair loss, and shortness of breath. Iron is important for producing hemoglobin and transporting oxygen throughout the body. It also contributes to overall health, beauty, and wellbeing by maintaining healthy cells, skin, hair, nails, and energy levels. There are two types of iron - heme iron, which is more efficiently absorbed from meat, and non-heme iron from plants. New heme iron supplements provide benefits over traditional iron supplements as they are better tolerated with less stomach side effects and are more efficiently absorbed.

Unique selling propositions for heme iron
There are only two kinds of iron that we can use; heme iron from meat, poultry or fish and non-heme iron from vegetables, dairy products or chemically bonded iron in supplements. Syntethic non-heme iron in the standard iron preparations has a low degree of uptake and often produces unpleasant side-effects.
HEMOGLOBINA COMO SUPLEMENTAÇÃO ALIMENTAR DE FERRO
O documento discute a hemoglobina como uma forma eficaz de suplementação de ferro oral. A hemoglobina contém ferro heme, que é muito melhor absorvido do que o ferro não-heme encontrado em suplementos sintéticos, resultando em menos efeitos colaterais. Comprimidos contendo 18 mg de ferro heme da hemoglobina bovina podem fornecer a mesma quantidade de ferro absorvido do que suplementos de 100 mg de ferro não-heme devido à sua alta taxa de absorção.
Quais são os benefícios?
Quais são os benefícios que a suplementação de ferro traz para a saúde? A anemia é causada por uma reduzida produção de células vermelhas do sangue e de hemoglobina e, assim, baixos teores de oxigênio atingem as células de todo o corpo.
A anemia geralmente resulta em baixos níveis de energia, mas também pode afetar muitas partes do corpo - do empobrecimento das funções cerebrais à baixa imunidade (ou incapacidade de combater doenças).

What are the health benefits from iron supplementation?
One among the others: Iron supports the energy by helping enough oxygen to reach cells. Iron also helps with the metabolic enzyme processes that the body carries out to digest proteins and absorb nutrients from food. This is why an iron deficiency causes exhaustion, trouble being active and many other symptoms of feeling sluggish.
Perda de cabelo
Muitas pessoas sofrem com perda excessiva de cabelo, o que pode ser muito traumatizante. No entanto, acontece com frequência e muitas vezes está relacionada a baixos valores de ferro.
George Cotsarelis, diretor da University of Pennsylvania Hair and Scalp Clinic, estudou a suplementação de ferro em mulheres com várias formas de perda de cabelo.
"A partir da experiência da nossa clínica, é claro para mim que, se você repuser os estoques de ferro dos pacientes com perda de cabelo usando suplementos de ferro, é provável que os cabelos voltem a crescer, ou pelo menos, que a queda de cabelos pare. E eles não têm de estar anêmicos. Esse é o maior erro que os médicos cometem".
Hair loss and iron deficiency
Low iron levels often lead to hair thinning and hair loss problems. George Cotsarelis, director of the University of Pennsylvania Hair and Scalp Clinic, has studied iron supplementation in women with various forms of hair loss.
"From our clinic's experience, it is clear to me that if you replenish hair-loss patients' iron stores with iron supplements, they are more likely to regrow hair, or at least stop hair shedding. And they don't have to be anemic. That is the biggest mistake doctors make.”
Good sources for iron
Iron is essential for life. Daily intake should be at least 18 mg of iron to compensate for losses.
Heme iron is taken up at 20 – 40 % compared to non-heme 2 – 4 %, such as for example Ferrous Sulphate.
This means that one tablet of OptiFer® will give up to 7,2 mgs of absorbed iron. This is more than 150 mgs of non-heme iron will give.
Unpleasant side effects are dose-related and present in more than 30 % of therapies with non-heme iron.
In studies the tolerance of heme iron is virtually perfect.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
