A Supplement For Your Blood Vessels By: David Juan
Lipoic acid, also known as alpha-lipoic acid or thioctic acid, was originally identified as a vitamin more than 50 years ago.
It is a naturally occurring chemical made in small amounts by plants, animals and humans.
It is also a natural solution for improving the health of your blood vessels.
This is the first of two articles explaining how it works.
Though the information is limited, foods rich in lipoic acid include kidney, heart, liver, spinach, tomatoes, peas, and Brussels sprouts.
Lipoic acid in dietary supplements varies from 100 to 600 milligrams.
In Germany, lipoic acid is available by prescription for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy (I'll look at this in the next article).
Low blood levels of lipoic acid are found in patients with diabetes, atherosclerosis, and liver cirrhosis.
Lipoic acid has many functions in your body:
Involved with metabolizing carbohydrates
Antioxidant activity helps fight free radicals
Helps regenerate other antioxidants in the body, such as
vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione
Increases blood flow to the nerve cells
Prevents toxicity from metals (like mercury), chemicals
and drugs
Prevents tissue damage after radiation exposure
Blocks the proliferation of HIV virus and bolsters the
immune system
Improves insulin sensitivity
Now, the “endothelium” is the inner lining of blood vessels in your body.
When this is impaired, it can cause coronary problems such as arterial disease.
Lipoic acid has been shown to improve endothelial function (thus improving your blood vessels) in several studies:
1. Direct infusion of lipoic acid into the arteries helped to widen the narrowed arteries in diabetic patients.
2. Taking 300 mg of lipoic acid for a month helped dilate blood vessels in 58 patients with metabolic syndrome (a combination of conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, and high triglycerides that raises the risk of heart disease).
3. Lipoic acid (960 mg, 1,920 mg) administered intravenously over four weeks reduced endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.
4. A combination of lipoic acid and acetyl-L-carnitine dilated the arteries but also helped lower blood pressure in patients with coronary artery disease.
5. Taking 600 mg of lipoic acid or placebo for three months helped reduced pain from peripheral artery disease by 93%.
These are all examples of how lipoic acid does indeed change the nature of your blood vessels.

Do Free-range Hens Lay Better Eggs? By: David Juan
The evidence increasingly shows that the best health advice for a morning meal is to include a few eggs.
They are rich in nutrients, lower in cholesterol than previously thought, and help keep you satiated longer into the day.
A new study addressed an interesting question: are eggs laid by free-range hens nutritionally superior to those laid by eggs in cages?
Free-range eggs are generally perceived to be better for you.
There is no doubt they are ethically the better option, and perhaps that is all that needs to be addressed.
But since we deal with science here in Doctors Health Press, we'll see if this natural food is actually clinically superior in nutrient base.
To that end, the new study found basically no difference in quality of eggs produced by hens in both environments.
What's more is that cholesterol levels in all eggs were lower than U.S. officials had documented.
This prompted the government to review and lower its estimates for average cholesterol levels in eggs.
The main message here is that an egg, no matter where it's produced, is a very nutritious food choice.
Free-range eggs did have higher levels of total fat than eggs produced by caged hens, but they did not have higher levels of cholesterol.
The researchers say that the most striking finding was that both cage- and range-produced eggs actually have lower cholesterol levels than previously believed.
This in turn led the United States Department of Agriculture to lower the cholesterol guidelines for eggs to 185 milligrams per egg, down from 213 mg.
In the study, egg samples were collected at 50, 62, and 74 weeks of age during the productive life of the flock and sent to four different laboratories.
The results showed no influence of housing environment (range or cage) on levels of vitamin A or vitamin E.
But, levels of beta-carotene were higher in the range eggs, which could be why their yolks are darker.
This important carotenoid is very healthy, and is transformed into vitamin A in the body.
Though there was more beta-carotene, the researchers concluded that overall there was no significant nutritional advantage of eggs produced by chickens given free range versus those in cages.
All this said, if you support the more ethical treatment of animals, then the choice may be clear anyway. Free-range eggs just might cost an extra dollar.
