Nutrilite Concentrated Fruits and Vegetables

MRP :- 60 tablets - Rs. 1629


When i was detected with thyroid during my second pregnancy, i was devastated as i had seen the repercussions my mother was going through because of hypothyroidism. i was initially advised dosage of 25 mcg of thyronorm and thereby post pregnancy asked to stop for two months to see if thyroid level increases.
Unfortunately my thyroid level increased after two months and doctor increased the dosage to 75 mcg and asked to review after two months. The result was constant

After using this table for over two months, thyroid level has decreased so now am using 50 mcg instead of 75 mcg and has also to some extent responsible for weight loss.

Hypothyroidism

The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck and manufactures two hormones known as thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These hormones regulate cell function and metabolism. According to the British Thyroid Foundation, one in 20 people have some form of thyroid disorder. If the thyroid produces too little thyroxine, it leads to a disorder called hypothyroidism. If a person's thyroid produces too much thyroxine, hyperthyroidism occurs. Other thyroid disorders include thyroid eye disorder, thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules. Certain vitamins help the thyroid to function correctly.

Some traditional doctors do not believe that including certain foods in the diet is helpful to people who suffer from hypothyroidism. However, there are many holistic doctors who strongly believe that diet can be either beneficial or harmful to people with a hypothyroid.

Both fields of medicine agree that there are some foods and supplements that should be avoided by the hypothyroid patient. They also agree that eating a healthy diet is an important part of staying healthy in general.

B VITAMINS
Several of the B vitamins help the thyroid to function properly. Vitamins B1 and B6 play an essential role in the production of thyroid hormones and are especially important for people with an overactive thyroid. Vitamin B3 also helps the cells of the thyroid gland to work efficiently. A deficiency of vitamin B2 suppresses thyroid function and hinders the production of thyroid hormones. B vitamins are found in foods such as fish, meats and dairy products. However if you're vegan or vegetarian then leafy green vegetables are also rich sources of B vitamins.

VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and is found in fruits and vegetables. MedlinePlus notes that good sources of vitamin C include tomatoes, broccoli, citrus fruits, and red and green peppers. There is really no way to eat the amount of fruits and vegetables on a regular basis.

VITAMIN E
Vitamin E deficiency is associated with an over-production of thyroid hormones. A vitamin E supplement may be needed by patients with an overactive thyroid as these patients tend to use up vitamin E more quickly. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cells from free radical-induced damage. It is found in foods such as nuts, seeds, vegetable oils and green leafy vegetables. The National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements notes that vitamin E deficiency is rare, though people with digestive disorders may have a vitamin E.

RAW VEGETABLES
Raw vegetables are fresher than cooked veggies. Many times they should are also be grown organically. Raw foods reportedly have good effects on the metabolism. Since one of the main problems for the hypothyroid sufferer is a slow metabolism, raw vegetables are truly beneficial.

VITAMIN A
Foods rich in vitamin A are also beneficial. Yellow vegetables, carrots and dark green vegetables all contain high amounts of vitamin A. Vitamin A is also a proven antioxidant.

Zinc and copper are important minerals that help the body produce the thyroid hormone. Foods that contain zinc include beef, chicken, seafood, oatmeal, beans, spinach, seeds and nuts. Foods rich in copper include eggs, beans, nuts and raisins.

VEGETABLE JUICE
Drinking juice that contains chlorophyll helps the digestion and helps to regenerate cells, both of which are beneficial for the thyroid. Select juices that contain ingredients like radishes, carrots, tomatoes, celery, zucchini, kelp, alfalfa, leafy greens, beet tops, green peppers, parsley, seaweeds, sprouts and watercress.

Concentrates of fruit and vegetables taken as capsules may reduce levels of markers of inflammation, and potentially reduce the risk of chronic disease, suggests a new study.

A micronutrient-dense concentrate of a range of fruit and vegetables including cherry, apple, broccoli, cranberry, orange, pineapple, spinach, and tomato was found to reduce levels of various inflammatory biomarkers by between 16 and 35 per cent, according to findings published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research.

Chronic inflammation, brought about by an over-expression or lack of control of the normal protective mechanism, has been linked to range of conditions linked to heart disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s, type-2 diabetes, and arthritis.

“In this study, using a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled design, of 117 healthy individuals, we showed that a fruit and vegetable concentrate resulted in an elevation in micronutrients (as measured by beta-carotene, vitamin C, and alpha-tocopherol) and reduced systemic inflammatory load,” wrote the researchers.

“Although the long-term implications of these findings are currently unknown, the close relationship between chronic inflammation and poor human health, suggests such a juice concentrate is a beneficial addition to the habitual diet in support of human health,” they added.

Study details

Researchers from the University of South Carolina recruited 117 people with an average age of 35 were randomly assigned to receive capsules containing placebo, or fruit and vegetable juice powder concentrate with or without additional berry powders.

The researchers used the commercial products Juice Plus+ y NSA LLC, and the company also funded the study. The fruit and vegetable juice powder concentrate contained acerola cherry, apple, beet, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cranberry, kale, orange, peach, papaya, parsley, pineapple, spinach, and tomato, while the added berry powder included bilberry, blackberry, black currant, blueberry, cranberry, Concord grape, elderberry, raspberry and red currant.

After 60 days of consuming the fruit and vegetable capsules, the researchers report a reduction in levels of Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1) of about 35 per cent, Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1-beta (MIP-1b) of about 16 per cent, and Regulated upon Activation, Normal T cell Expressed and Secreted (RANTES) levels of about 21 per cent, compared with placebo.

“These results are consistent with the hypothesis that these concentrates reduce inflammatory load in healthy people,” stated the researchers.
