Hair growth can be achieved by fighting hair loss with medications or by strengthening the hair roots with nutrients. Caution as excess vitamin A, vitamin E, omega 3 cause hair loss instead of hair growth. Supplements are considered harmless and consumed without thinking of interactions or overdose. Therapeutic doses of vitamins to treat disease are high, however preventive or prophylactic dose for wellness are low. Antioxidants improve health by neutralizing Reactive oxygen species, but ROS have important role in infection control and phagocytosis. Overuse of antioxidants interferes with protective mechanisms. High doses of one nutrient affect the absorption and efficiency of others. Administered together, vitamin C can destroy vitamin B12. Iron and calcium reduce the absorption of one another. High vitamin C, increases sodium & reduces potassium levels. Nutrients are also synergistic. Vitamin E regenerates Beta carotene. Vitamin C regenerates vitamin E. Toxic effects of Beta carotene break down products are reduced by alpha tocopherol, N acetyl cysteine and vitamin C. Single deficiency causes multiple inefficiencies. Inappropriate combinations and nutrient overdose are easily possible with rising use of multivitamins and fortified foods. Nutrient deficiencies are compensated by autophagy and also prevail as subclinical deficiencies making them difficult to detect on laboratory tests. To utilize nutrients without interaction and overdose we have proposed the use of different synergistic nutrients on different days of the week, repeating in a three day cycle. The concept was initiated for achieving consistent hair growth as published earlier. It can be applied to a set of nutrients identified for various other indications like geriatrics, pediatrics, growing teens, athletes, body builders, women's health, cardiac patients, diabetics, athletes, bariatric surgery etc. ensuring low dose, low cost, and optimum benefit nutrient program allowing the body to assimilate and utilize each nutrient, without wastage or overdose.

Berries, the antioxidant sources of the boreal cold and arid regions

Chronic gastrointestinal diseases are mostly attached to infl ammation as well as modifi ed redox homeostasis. These diseases cause remarkable health problems in the northern regions of Europe, but as the climate becomes colder, the harvesting of fruit with notable antioxidant content becomes harder. In these regions, polyphenol-rich berries, which can handle the climate, may have pivotal role in the diet. The aim of our study was to determine antioxidant properties of watery extracts of blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum L., bilberry, V. myrtillus L., and lingonberry, V. vitis-idaea L. that may have role in the redox homeostasis of the gastrointestinal region. Data show that these berries notably inhibit the lipid peroxidation, underpinned by reducing power, total polyphenol and ascorbic acid content. The study demonstrates that berries can play a remarkable role in northern European diet, especially when redox homeostasis is imbalanced.
