Docosahexenoic Acid

About Docosahexenoic Acid
An omega-3 fatty acid(polyunsaturated fatty acids, PUFAs), An essential fatty acid, brain food ,Antiatherosclerotic.
Mechanism of Action of Docosahexenoic Acid
It is found with Eicosapentaenoic acid. Omega-3 fatty acids are of polyunsaturated fatty acids that derives from food. They help to lower triglycerides and cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol (the Good cholesterol) and thus improves lipid profile. Omega 3 fatty acids may also act as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting. They have anti-inflammatory actions and also lower high blood pressure. The incorporation of Omega-3 fatty acids in the membranes of the cells increases the physicochemical stability and functional integrity. It also makes the cells less susceptible to oxidative damage and also decreases the formation of lipid peroxidases. They protect from cardiovascular disorders and may also reduce the risks and symptoms for other disorders including diabetes, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, stroke, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, mental decline, and some cancers. They aid in proper functioning of central nervous system.
Hypolipidaemic action: It produces a reduction in plasma triglycerides by reducing bad cholesterol or very low density lipoproteins.
Antiinflammatory action: Omega - 3 fatty acids are long chain poly unsaturated fatty acids.They compete with arachidonic acid for cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase They inhibits inflammatory mediators by inhibiting leukotriene synthesis pathway.
Antithrombotic effect: They promote vasodilatation, a reduction in platelet aggregation, increased bleeding time and decreased platelet counts

Vitamin C

About Vitamin C
Water soluble vitamin, antioxidant.
Mechanism of Action of Vitamin C
Vitamin C exerts it`s action by influencing the biologic oxidations and reductions used in cellular respirations. It directly stimulates collagen synthesis and maintains intracellular connective tissue. It involves in various metabolic reactions such as 1).Hydroxylation of praline and lysine residues of protocollagen which is essential for formation and stabilization of collagen triple helix, 2).hydroxylation of carnitine, 3).Conversion of folic acid to folinic acid, 4).biosynthesis of adrenal steroids, catecholamines, oxytocin, and ADH, 5).Metabolism of cyclic nucleotides and prostaglandins. Vitamin C is important in resistance to infections.
Pharmacokinets of Vitamin C
Absorption: Well absorbed orally.
Distribution: Widely distributed both extracellularly and intracellularly, It crosses the placenta and also distributed in to the breast milk.
Metabolism: Metabolized in the liver; partly oxidized in to active dehydroascorbic acid and inactive metabolites.

Manganese

About Manganese
Magnesium is essential for enzyme activity, calcium and potassium uptake, nerve transmission, bone formation and metabolism of carbohydrates and minerals. It is magnesium, not calcium, which helps form hard tooth enamel, resistant to decay. Like calcium and chloride, magnesium also plays a role in regulating the acid-alkaline balance in the body. High magnesium levels in drinking water have been linked to resistance to heart disease. Although it is found in many foods, including dairy products, nuts, vegetables, fish, meat and seafood, deficiencies are common in America due to soil depletion, poor absorption and lack of minerals in drinking water. A diet high in carbohydrates, oxalic acid in foods like raw spinach and phytic acid found in whole grains can cause deficiencies. An excellent source of usable magnesium is beef, chicken or fish broth. High amounts of zinc and vitamin D increase magnesium requirements. Magnesium deficiency can result in coronary heart disease, chronic weight loss, obesity, fatigue, epilepsy and impaired brain function. Chocolate cravings are a sign of magnesium deficiency.

Selenium

About Selenium
A vital antioxidant, selenium acts with vitamin E to protect the immune system and maintain healthy heart function. It is needed for pancreatic function and tissue elasticity and has been shown to protect against radiation and toxic minerals. High levels of heart disease are associated with selenium-deficient soil in Finland and a tendency to fibrotic heart lesions is associated with selenium deficiency in parts of China. Best sources are butter, Brazil nuts, seafood and grains grown in selenium-rich soil.

Carotenoids

About Carotenoids
Antioxidants,vitamin A supplements.
Mechanism of Action of Carotenoids
The primary benefit of carotenoids lies in their antioxidant potential. Antioxidants are compounds that protect your body?s cells from damage by unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals. Carotenoids guard against certain types of cancer, apparently by limiting the abnormal growth of cells. For instance, lycopene appears to inhibit prostate cancer formation. In addition, carotenoids fight heart disease by blocking the formation of LDL (?bad? cholesterol) which leads to heart attacks. The carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin both reduce the risk of macular degeneration.
