Vitamin C ain't yellow, but it's not as black-and-white as it is portrayed on social media, these days. A couple of years ago, the #1 discussions about vitamin C one could have would usually address the following questions: "Does vitamin C prevent/treat the common cold?" and... (I still get this question, by the way) "Is ascorbic acid/manmade vitamin C bad for your health?" Don't worry, neither of these questions is going to be re-addressed in this short C-special (for the latter question, I suggest you re-read my article about 'natural' vs. 'synthetic' vitamins, here .

Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, E, Folate & Iron: Deficiency Nutrients in the US - 31% are Deficient | Plus: What About Athletes?

Written by | published on

Few US citizens get all the nutrients they need from their diets. You may argue that I've addressed this in a previous article. The fact that there's now updated data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)  does yet (IMHO) warrant to take another look at the prevalence of nutrient deficiencies in the US. The bad news first: The study found sign. deficiency rates for all the investigated nutrients: vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate and iron. The good news: It's easy and - with the exception of iron and folate 100% unproblematic to supplement your diet. Looking for more ways to improve your diet? Increase your potassium (K) intake!

Whole Eggs Can Boost Your Beta-Carotene and Vitamin E Uptake from Veggie Salad W/ Oil Dressing by 400%-700%

Believe it or not raw food vegans, it takes scrambled (whole) eggs to turn your veggie salads into a "superfood", or rather, to have the "super effects" of all its "super vitamins" on your health . The photo shows an egg-recipe from The Organic Dish , take a look ; and don't worry if you're afraid of healthy oats , you can leave out the out cakes under the eggs ;-) I still see people throwing the good yolk of their eggs away. Shame on you!  You're not just throwing the most nutrient dense (also in terms of nutrients per energy content) away, you also sacrifice the beneficial effects of the co-ingestion of eggs with other nutrient dense foods - benefits which have only recently been recognized by the scientific community when people finally starting looking beyond individual foods and nutrients and started to investigate the actual and practically more relevant effects of food matrices. This trend that began with the negative effects of pe...

Recovery Cocktail With Vitamins C+E, Ibuprofen, Cold Water Immersion and Whey Works - Long-Term Effects? Unknown!

Written by | published on

What's the right strategy to boost workout recovery? A recent study suggests that it could be a mix of NSAID, antioxidants, cold water and whey. Vitamin C + E, ibuprofen, cold water immersion and whey? Two of these agents have been shown to impair the adaptational response to exercise and thus potentially compromise long-term gains (vitamin C+E and cold water immersion). The other two are either purported (ibuprofen) or proven (whey) ergogenics - ergogenics of which a recent study by scientists from the  Hashemite University  in Jordan and the University of Alabama  in the USA shows that their combination with the formerly named agents is "helpful in protecting performance" in a test during which the competitive athletes (current or former Division I college athletes / club athletes) performed two bouts of high-intensity anaerobic cycling separated by 30 minutes of rest.

Your MUFA + PUFA Intakes Determine Your True Vitamin E Requirements - N-3s are the Worst Offenders + Even MUFAs Need Buffering | Tool to Calculate Your Individual Needs

Written by | published on

Nature knows best: Oils and other high PUFA foods come with a naturally high amount of vitamin E (see Fig 1 ). As a SuppVersity  reader you shouldn't be surprised to hear that there's a link between the amount of highly oxidizeable polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) you consume and the amount of vitamin E you "need" to protect them from being oxidized by free radicals. The reason we usually speak about vitamin E in this context is that vitamin E (mostly alpha-tocopherol) is recognized as a if not the key essential lipophilic antioxidant in humans. It protects lipoproteins ( cholesterol ), PUFA, cellular and intra-cellular membranes from damage.
