A Research Study On Vitamin E And Vitamin

varied food supply make severe vitamin deficiencies unlikely but this doesn’t mean everyone gets enough of everything all the time. Marginal deficiencies often go unnoticed and can be mistaken for other conditions.

Vitamin Formula: Includes Vitamin B6, D & E. The combination of these vitamins improves prostate health and impedes the growth of cancer developing cells.

Vitamin A and D have showed unexpected and crucial effects on immune system. Vitamin A includes innate immune towards microbial infection, absence of vitamin A can increase the chance of bacterial, viral, and parasitic infection. Also excessive intake of vitamin A Is associated with toxicity, including blocked hematopoiesis, mitogen-induced T-cell spread, antigen-specific antibody production, and an increased susceptibility to infectious organisms. Vitamin A is also given by Retinoid supplement to treat the skin effects of T-cell lymphoma. Vitamin C also known as Ascorbic Acid also contribute in innate immunity system, Vitamin C works during infection to prevent oxidative damage. Lower concentration of vitamin C in leukocyte is related to reduce immune response in humans. It has been proven that Vitamin C concentrations in the plasma and leukocytes rapidly decline during infections and stress. Iron chelators such as desferrioxamine inhibit the activity of phagocyte oxidase and reduce reactive oxygen intermediate-dependent killing of bacterial pathogens, both in vitro and in vivo. Lastly, Zinc is a dietary trace mineral that is responsible for growth and development, and it is essential for the function of cells of the immune system. It increased susceptibility to

And another moral that you may learn from hemochromatosis is moderation. There is a point where a plethora of a good nutrient may actually be harmful, such in the case of hemochromatosis. However, the fact that scientists discovered an overload of iron may be dangerous could lead to new studies of nutrient overload. A rare disease known as hypervitaminosis D is caused by the toxicity of vitamin D (The Clinical Resource for Cellular Nutrition & Trace Mineral Analysis). As a future research potential, we can explore other diseases such as hemochromatosis and hypervitaminosis

In looking over my Food Journal Summary and my Intake Compared to DRI dealing with micronutrients; I noticed my intake of Vitamin A was 88 micrograms and my DRI was 700 micrograms. I got 49% from the grilled cheese and 1% from the banana chips. To improve my Vitamin E intake I should eat more beef and cooked vegetables such as carrots. My Vitamin D intake was below the recommended range at 0 mg; I should eat more fish such as salmon or possibly find a Vitamin D supplement. My consumption of Vitamin E or Alpha-Tocopherol was an intake of 1 mg and my DRI was 15 mg. 28%, 3%, 19%, and 15% came from the chicken tenders, banana chips, grilled cheese, and French fries. To get a

Prostate cancer is a kind of cancer that affects the prostate gland in men. It is a common cancer that grows slowly and its treatment can be done successfully if it is detected at an early stage. Sometimes, symptoms are not visible in case of cancer limited to the prostate gland which may result into metastatic cancer. To detect the symptoms, active surveillance can be done. There are various options available

As I analyze and compare my consumption to those recommended, my diet is not as healthy as it could be. I enjoy to snack, unhealthily, and eat foods that are convenient for my lifestyle rather than my health. I only received 57% of my calcium recommendations, 27% of potassium, 77% of copper, 67% of iron, 49% of magnesium, 75% of phosphorus, 78% of zinc, 49% of vitamin A, 92% of vitamin B6, 20% of vitamin C, 13% of vitamin D, 20% of vitamin E, 32% of vitamin K, 92% of folate, and 44% of choline; so in those areas, I lacked to meet adequate needs. Selenium, sodium, vitamin B12, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin, I consumed sufficient amounts or more than what I needed.

Selenium deficiencies have been linked to various illnesses such as depression, a weakened immune system, and infertility in both men and women.

For instance, African American males are 2.5 times more likely to die from prostate cancer in comparison to Caucasian males, while Asian males (residing in Asia) have the lowest risk (PCF 2015). From a geographical perspective, North America has the highest incidence rate, while Asia has the lowest (PCF 2015). Also family genetics play a large role in how likely a male is to be diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCF 2015). Having a father or brother diagnosed with prostate cancer increases the likelihood of being diagnosed by two (PCF 2015). Diet and certain hormone levels have also been found to be major risk factors while total caloric intake and fat intake was found to be insignificant (ACS 2015; Gann 2002). High calcium intake (due to supplement consumption) increase risk 4.6 times on average and consumption of red meat was positively correlated with prostate cancer risk (Giovannucci et al. 1998; Kolonel 2001). Contradictory to previous correlations, the relationship between fat intake and the risk of prostate cancer has been found to be inconclusive because although saturated fat intake has been shown to increase the risk of aggressive prostate cancer, the relationship is insignificant (Chavarro et al. 2007). A larger risk factor is found when studying the relationship between high levels of insulin like growing factor (IGF-1) and prostate cancer (Pollak 2008). The previous significance between height and prostate cancer has been found to rely not on the genetic influence, but the levels of IGF-1, since the hormone contributes greatly to your height (Pollak 2008). The relationship between high levels of IGF-1 and incidence of prostate cancer reveals that increased levels of IGF-1 in the bloodstream can increase the risk of prostate cancer due to IGF-1 having the ability to make the prostate grow, and during this growth there is more room for error (mutations when duplicating cells) which can lead

They found that for every additional tenth of a part per million of selenium in study participants’ bodies, there was a 15% - 20% decrease in their risk of knee osteoarthritis. Those individuals who had less selenium than normal in their systems were at higher risk of developing osteoarthritis in one or both knees. Basically, the severity of their arthritis was directly related to how low their selenium levels were.

I noted deficiencies in a number of vitamins in the January study. Calcium was only 0% of target levels, and potassium was well less than half of target levels. My sodium count was with the acceptable range, but just barely. I had deficiencies of iron, copper, and magnesium, but did acquire my recommended intake of phosphorous, selenium and zinc. I fell short on Vitamin A, Vitamin C, E, K, and

“A recent study published in Seminars in Preventive and Alternative Medicine that looked at over 100 studies over 10 years revealed a growing list of benefits of vitamin C” (Kathleen M. Zelman, 2010).

A study published in Archives of Internal Medicine found that 75 percent or more of American teens and adults are deficient in Vitamin D. That is why we have so many serious illnesses, like cancer, diabetes and heart disease (Huff, 2010).

Around one million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency in India at any one point of time because of poverty (UNICEF, 1998). Leafy vegetables which appear to be the only practical source of dietary carotenes are not generally consumed by the poor rural families (Devadas, 1983). In India reports concluded that 62% of preschool children were reported to be deficient in vitamin A. These dramatic results suggest high mortality rate, leading to an annual 330,000 child deaths (Mitra AK, 1998). To conclude this, the above statistics are suggest that poverty is the sole contributor to almost 50% of the Vitamin A deficiency among the population of India.
