color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-cholesterol-myths\">cholesterol myths<\/div><h2>these are the six most frequent myths about cholesterol<\/h2>\n<p>what, in the constellation of myths of surrounding cholesterol, is true? here are six tips to clarify some of the confusion about the role it plays in our bodies.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>1. there is good and bad cholesterol<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>cholesterol is a single lipid molecule found in the bloodstream that travels to different cells or flows in the intestinal system&#8217;s direction to be expelled from the body. it is thought that it is imperative to strike a balance between the cholesterol entering the body and that being excreted, such that the levels in the blood do not exceed 200 mg per 100 milliliters of blood (mg\/dl).<\/p>\n<p>ideally, the cholesterol entering the body does not exceed 150 mg\/dl and that it does not leave at a rate higher than 40 mg\/dl. if this balance is maintained, good health is maintained, while if there is an imbalance, people are considered to have bad cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>2. eating meats and sausages increase the danger of cholesterol<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>overeating anything is bad, of course, but animal fats do not directly increase the proportion of cholesterol in the blood, at least not just by being ingested. more and more studies point out that cholesterol levels are not directly related to the intake of animal fats, regardless of how rich they are in cholesterol. this is because most of the ingested and absorbed cholesterol through the intestine is metabolized, broken down to be used by the body in other ways. thus, most of the cholesterol in the blood is synthesized by our bodies, and this synthesis is not influenced by the number of fats consumed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>3. dairy products and eggs have an impact on cholesterol<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>the same is true of fats from dairy or egg products as, even though they are high in calories, they do not directly influence the amount of cholesterol in the blood, according to the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/30210871\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>cholesterol<\/em><\/a>. it is possible to be overweight without showing an alarming amount of bad cholesterol due to genetic factors or fatty foods&#8217; ingestion.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>4. drinking danacol and benecol lower cholesterol<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>it is true that products such as danacol and benecol lower the amount of cholesterol that enters the bloodstream as long as they are taken in recommended doses, and not for more than two days. it is not recommended that adults who are taking medication or are pregnant ingest these things, as they are high in phytosterols, which block the intestinal absorption of cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>this works by blocking 10% of the body&#8217;s cholesterol absorption, which lowers the body&#8217;s natural 20% absorption rate. cholesterol normally is absorbed and used by the body to manufacture vitamin d, among other things. it is unknown if the decrease in the rates of absorption has some long-term negative impacts, such as on the body&#8217;s ability to synthesize these important chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>on the other hand, when a person stops taking products enriched with phytosterols, their body&#8217;s natural processes will readjust, raising the cholesterol to previous levels. the best way to ingest phytosterols, though, is to include them in a diet high in fiber, through the addition of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>5. cholesterol is a toxin that must be avoided<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>it is one of the most important metabolites our bodies possess. it is involved in the construction of cell membranes, the creation of bile salts, the generation of vitamin d, the production of sex hormones, and the production of corticosteroids. it is also an important food for the flora of the intestine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fruits-vegetables-1.jpg\" alt=\"benecol foods\" width=\"7057\" height=\"1411\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>how benecol fights cholesterol<\/h2>\n<p>benecol is a plant-based addition to sterol products that act against cholesterol, ldl, and other bad forms. it works to reduce cholesterol efficiency in just three weeks, thus operating against hypercholesterolemia. it is made from fermented milk, which means it is a good addition to other dairy-based ferments containing plant sterols. these plant sterols occur naturally in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, making it a great treatment for hypercholesterolemia.<\/p>\n<p>the plant sterols reduce the absorption of cholesterol by the body by 75%. this increases the synthesis of the apolipoprotein hdl, which facilitates good cholesterol. one unit of benecol contains 1.6 g. of sterols, which reduces cholesterol levels in three weeks. it is important to include a variety of fiber-rich foods, such as more fruits and vegetables, in addition to benecol.<\/p>\n<h3>sterols and stanols in two words<\/h3>\n<p>first, as noted above, are the phytosterols. it is quite well documented that these phytosterols compete with cholesterol in food such that, when sterol or stanol-rich food is ingested, these components are absorbed instead of the cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>however, in addition to finding them in the aforementioned functional foods that &#8220;lower cholesterol,&#8221; these phytosterols are naturally present in various fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, and vegetable oils. the same is true of the stanols, but they are found in even smaller amounts than sterols.<\/p>\n<h2>can benecol improve health?<\/h2>\n<p>the truth is that all this sounds very nice, and, based on the fact that the brands have been hammering these facts in over fifteen years, the average consumer likely believes it. &#8220;if i have high blood cholesterol levels, and i take some milk-cabbage type product that helps to block cholesterol absorption from food\u2026 then my cholesterol will fall, and my cardiovascular risk will decrease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>sounds good, very good, right? but unfortunately, it is not proven. if one day someone analyses the impact of these products on global health\u2026 the result will be quite murky. there are two key burning issues:<\/p>\n<p>leaving aside the presumed benefits, it is not clear that incorporating sterols and stanols into a diet by eating functional foods enriched in these elements is risk-free\u2026. it may yet be revealed that they are doing more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>the fact that including these products in your diet helps reduce your cholesterol is more or less clear. it is far less clear that that has a clinically observable effect on cardiovascular health, and further study is necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>lawsuits<\/h2>\n<p>on may 15, 2019, benecol was hit with a class-action lawsuit with claims the product contained trans fats, despite promoting the fact that contains no trans fats, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/topclassactions.com\/lawsuit-settlements\/consumer-products\/food\/896751-benecol-spreads-contain-trans-fat-class-action-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">top class action<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>the lawsuit claims that the product contains partially hydrogenated soybean oil, which contains trans fats.<\/p>\n<h2>so why people are using benecol?<\/h2>\n<p>recall that, in this case, the &#8220;serious knowledge&#8221; about cholesterol was forged in the interest of a specific industry. the work of hundreds, or thousands, of advertising strategies, has worked perfectly to convince the consumer that buying these functional foods will positively impact their cardiovascular health. however, there is not much that has been fully proven.<\/p>\n<p>at present, there is a special sensitivity in the world to research concerning subjects like cholesterol, cardiovascular health, sterols, and stanols. there is plenty of information about these things in editorials of the cardiovascular safety of plant sterol and stanol consumption journal which summarize, in an obvious way, the impacts of these compounds on cardiovascular health:<\/p>\n<p>although links have been made between cardiovascular health and the levels of plant sterols and stanols present in functional foods, there has been no conclusive evidence to support this.<\/p>\n<p>there has also been no evidence. however, including these has no negative impact either.<\/p>\n<p>as mentioned above, cholesterol in a person&#8217;s diet has minimal impact on a person&#8217;s cholesterol levels. this raises the question of why one would add a unique milk-cabbage product to an already healthy diet?<\/p>\n<p>for several years now, it has been understood that cholesterol levels in the bloodstream are not a good way of measuring cardiovascular risk. this is even acknowledged in the advertisements for these products, although in a way that still entices us to buy them. other measures, such as the proportion of various lipoproteins and other lipid metabolism elements, are now seen as better determinants of cardiovascular health. so much for the simplicity of the 200 mg\/dl measure.<\/p>\n<p>those who are bothered by their high cholesterol levels can go to the supermarket and buy any one of many targeted products. consumers interested in these products, which are designed to lower ldl cholesterol in heart health, are most likely to use proactive margarine from unilever.<\/p>\n<p>besides danacol and benecol products, there is also the possibility of drinking yogurt enriched with plant sterols. these products adorn themselves with various health claims, and the european food safety authority (efsa) has found some of these to be effective.<\/p>\n<p>however, plant substances have come under some criticism. consumer advocate groups, like foodwatch, have argued that these products, due to their strength, should only be sold in pharmacies. this is to cut down on their use by those who do not have pathologically elevated cholesterol levels. indeed, a recent belgian revealed that every fifth flemish preschooler takes these products!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;the products simply have a healthy image,&#8221; says birgit niemann, a scientist at the federal institute for risk research (bfr). heart health specialists are also critical as, after all, phytosterols are highly effective substances that could potentially be dangerous. &#8220;just because the fabrics are natural does not mean that they are automatically healthy and safe,&#8221; warns oliver weingartner of saarland university.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole-grains-probiotics-yogurt.jpg\" alt=\"benecol food\" width=\"888\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em;

about the vegan diet is quite complex. it can have many benefits, but it also has its drawbacks and can be a difficult diet to follow.\r\n\r\nbut, what is a vegan diet exactly? what can you eat on a vegan diet? is a vegan diet good for you? what are the real benefits? learn the answers to all these questions, plus much more.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/vegan-vegetarian-guide.jpg\" alt=\"vegan vegetarian guide\" width=\"1232\" height=\"831\" \/>\r\n<h2>what is a vegan diet?<\/h2>\r\nwhat is a vegan diet? veganism can be considered a sub-category of vegetarianism.\r\n\r\nvegetarianism has been around since ancient times, most notably in ancient india and ancient greece.\r\n\r\nthe practice of eschewing meat can be seen throughout history. for the united states, in particular, vegetarianism started to become more of a mainstream idea in the 1800's.\r\n\r\nvegetarians during this period were often ethically or spiritually motivated, and american vegetarianism in the 1800's was often closely associated with other movements, such as the temperance movement (a movement to abstain from alcohol).\r\n\r\nalmost since civilization began, there have been people who practice the vegan diet. however, they were not very much distinguished from vegetarians.\r\n\r\nthe word \"vegan\" was not coined until the year 1944, by the animal rights advocate donald watson.\r\n\r\nveganism as a concept, when the word was first coined, was motivated by the conviction that it is immoral to exploit animals for their meat, milk, eggs, leather, or anything else.\r\n\r\nthose who adhere to the original belief against the exploitation of animals are known as ethical vegans; for these vegans, it goes far beyond just what you eat and is rather a lifestyle philosophy.\r\n\r\nethical vegans are against things such as the production of leather, the production of fur, and animal testing and experimentation.\r\n\r\nnevertheless, there is still a large percentage of vegans for whom the focus is on what they eat; this article focuses on the vegan diet rather than an overall vegan lifestyle.\r\n\r\npeople of many different creeds and belief systems eat vegan diets. modern vegans can have a wide variety of motivations for adopting this diet.\r\n\r\nthey may want to protect the environment, have food sensitivities that keep them from eating animal products, have spiritual beliefs that lead them to veganism, or simply want to reap all the health benefits.\r\n\r\nthe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrg.org\/nutshell\/polls\/2016_adults_veg.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegetarian resource group<\/a> says, the vegan diet plan has risen rapidly in popularity during the 21st century. in the united states alone, 3.7 million people eat vegan.\r\n\r\nthis is about 3.3% of all adults or 1 in 30. research shows that veganism is more popular with certain demographics\u2014women, adults ages 18 to 34, and people who live in the northeast of the country.\r\n\r\nhowever, there is also an uptick in the popularity of veganism for people ages 55 to 64, possibly because of those experiencing ailments as they age to improve their health with this way of eating.\r\n\r\n\u201cveganism is also a great lifestyle choice for those concerned about the environment and the health-conscious. it\u2019s much more efficient to consume crops directly rather than feed them to farmed animals and then eat the animals. vegans, by definition, also tend to eat more fruit and vegetables which are among the healthiest foods out there, contributing to their great health.\" states\u00a0dominika piasecka, spokeswoman for <a href=\"http:\/\/vegansociety.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">the vegan society<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/benefits-of-vegan-diet.png\" alt=\"benefits of vegan diet\" width=\"500\" height=\"722\" \/>\r\n<h2>what can you eat on a vegan diet?<\/h2>\r\nwhat does a vegan diet consist of? there's a big difference between vegan and vegetarian.\r\n\r\nvegetarians do not eat the flesh of mammals, poultry, fish, or any other animal.\r\n\r\nhowever, this is the only restriction. vegetarians continue to eat everything else that isn't meat, poultry, or fish.\r\n\r\nthis includes non-meat animal by-products like dairy, butter, eggs, and honey.\r\n\r\nhowever, vegans go further than vegetarians and exclude not only meat but all animal by-products from their diet.\r\n\r\nthis means that vegans do not eat meat, poultry, fish, dairy, butter, eggs, or honey.\r\n\r\nit is not uncommon for those following a very strict vegan diet to also abstain from eating foods made with animal-derived additives\u2014for example, cochineal, a red food dye made from the dried bodies of a species of beetle.\r\n\r\nfor many americans, meat and various animal products form a major part of the diet.\r\n\r\nthis can make the list of foods forbidden on a vegan diet seem rather restrictive.\r\n\r\nhowever, those considering the vegan diet should instead focus on what they can eat. so, what does a vegan diet consist of?\r\n\r\nthe vegan daily diet revolves around fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds.\r\n\r\ngiven that there is immense variety within each of these categories, vegan-friendly meals can offer a lot of variety, especially when seasoned creatively.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\"

vegan diet can be a lot of fun to work with.\r\n\r\n\"if you think the vegan diet is boring and restrictive, you\u2019re in for a delicious surprise. once you break up with animal products, you\u2019ll discover a whole new world of foods and flavors. mealtime becomes exciting and adventuresome. plus, with the increasing popularity of veganism, you\u2019ll find more and more options on your grocery store shelves. bonus: when you eat a well-rounded diet of healthy, plant-based foods, you rarely have to count calories or measure portions. that\u2019s liberating!\u201d states lisa mccomsey, coauthor of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vegancheatsheet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">vegan cheat sheet<\/a> and a reformed omnivore.\r\n\r\nhowever, the best vegan diet not only does not contain any meat or animal products, but it should also be well-planned.\r\n\r\njust because food is vegan does not mean you should eat it all day long!\r\n\r\nafter all, there are many vegan cookies and other unhealthy snacks available.\r\n\r\nthose following the vegan diet should make sure each meal has a good blend of fruits and vegetables, healthy carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and healthy plant fats.\r\n\r\nsome attention must also be paid to getting enough of certain nutrients that are not as abundant in plants are they are in animal products.\r\n\r\nthere are many possible variants of the vegan daily diet, but which is the best vegan diet for you depends on your health goals.\r\n\r\nmost notably, the raw vegan diet is a healthy vegan diet plan that only includes raw foods that are not heated up to 118 degrees fahrenheit.\r\n\r\naccording to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/s0002822304012817?via%3dihub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sciencedirect<\/a>, proponents of raw diets believe that cooking foods destroy nutrients and enzymes; however, this claim is scientifically debatable.\r\n\r\nraw food diets can increase the risk of food-borne illnesses.\r\n\r\nhowever, this dietary concept may still have its benefits. a raw vegan diet could reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia, according to research.\r\n\r\nsome other variants of the vegan diet include the vegan paleo diet, which excludes grain and processed foods; and the no sugar vegan diet, which excludes processed sugar and sometimes fruit.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\"

diet unhealthy in any way? veganism is by no means a perfect diet.\r\n\r\nas mentioned earlier, vegans have a higher intake of certain essential nutrients.\r\n\r\nhowever, there are some other nutrients that vegans often don't get enough of, especially if they do not plan their diet well enough. the study that found the nutritional advantages of the vegan diet also found some disadvantages.\r\n\r\nvegans are prone to not getting enough vitamin b12, vitamin d, vitamin a, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids.\r\n\r\nbecause iron and zinc from plant sources are not very absorb-able compared to the iron and zinc in animal products, vegans may also be at an increased risk for deficiency of these minerals.\r\n\r\nany nutrient deficiency, when untreated, can lead to serious health complications. many types of nutrient deficiencies, when severe enough, can also be fatal.\r\n\r\nthis is why the vegan diet must be very well-planned for it to be a healthy choice.\r\n\r\nanother disadvantage of the vegan diet is that it can be difficult to adhere to in the long-term.\r\n\r\nhowever, some people also find it very easy to eat vegan; it is a highly individualistic experience.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/vegan-diet-benefits.jpg\" alt=\"vegan diet benefits\" width=\"2400\"

vegan-friendly meals, consider weekly meal prep.\r\n\r\nat the beginning of each week, you can prepare a large batch of food (ideally food that freezes well) and freeze it in individual portions to

digestive system contains good and not-so-good bacteria that mix, but the good ones keep the bad ones at bay. however, sometimes, there is a need for an external agent to overpower the maleficent bacteria when they start to outnumber the beneficial ones. align is a probiotic which serves as a balancing agent in the gut so that issues like bloating and acid refluxes are not prevalent. these abnormalities in the gut system are because when varying diets, exercise routines, lifestyle changes, and stress collide into one's life.\r\n\r\nalign serves to keep a user going, eliminating the

lead to countless sicknesses. but when it is healthy, there are many benefits to be gained from it.\r\n\r\nthere is usually filtering of the digestive system of all things harmful, like toxins, chemicals, and waste products, when probiotics are introduced.\r\n\r\nthe maintenance of the gut barrier function and gastrointestinal motility is regulated correctly when there is a proper balance of healthy bacteria.\r\n\r\nremember that the human system is made of natural healthy bacteria that fight pathogenic bacteria when they come, which is inevitable because we eat and get stressed.\r\n\r\nand do not forget that probiotics are live microorganisms (bacteria) that are healthy, according to <a class=\"editor-rtflink\"

body because it is the body\u2019s protection. when it does not function fully, the body ultimately shuts down because it is thrown open to all manner risks.\r\n\r\nif all the researchers are correct,

for some people, this change could stretch to several weeks.\r\n<h3>cramping<\/h3>\r\nsome people have reported experiencing cramping around the stomach and chest area as a result of taking probiotics.\r\n\r\nfor others, they experience aches all over the body when they start taking probiotics.\r\n<h3>fatigue<\/h3>\r\na small percentage of individuals experience fatigue when they start supplementing with probiotics.\r\n\r\nthis may be due to the body working extra hard to fight off the harmful bacteria when the good ones come into the system.\r\n<h2>how did align probiotic supplement start?<\/h2>\r\nthere is no sensational story behind the genesis of align. just like every other invention, the need for a trustworthy probiotic has driven countless researchers in this area.\r\n\r\nalign was developed by a team of gastroenterologists, with ten years of scientific research. the unique component of align is bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum 35624 (formerly known as bifidobacterium infantis or bifantis).\r\n\r\nthis particular strain is similar to the good bacteria found naturally in the human digestive system; this aids in digestion while ensuring the host remains healthy. other ingredients that contribute to the work of align are:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>microcrystalline cellulose<\/li>\r\n \t<li>hypromellose<\/li>\r\n \t<li>propyl gallate<\/li>\r\n \t<li>magnesium stearate<\/li>\r\n \t<li>sodium caseinate<\/li>\r\n \t<li>trisodium citrate dihydrate<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>align ingredients<\/h2>\r\n<h3><img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/supplement-ingredients-1024x680.png\" alt=\"align ingredients\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" \/><\/h3>\r\n<h3>bifidobacterium infantis 35624<\/h3>\r\naccording to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19367213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reviews in gastroenterological disorders<\/a><\/em>, bifidobacterium infantis 35624 (b. infantis 35624) is a patented probiotic strain that is well-known for its unique ability to aid digestion and reduce intestinal inflammation.\r\n\r\nit has also been proven to be safe and without an increase in the negative effects which are already there.\r\n\r\ntherefore, b. infantis 35624 is a special kind of live strain of bacteria, unique in its delivery. it takes care of digestive and intestinal abnormalities; the human gut contains beneficial and non-beneficial microorganisms (bacteria, to be precise) but b. infantis serves to add strength to the good bacteria which would in turn help with digestion.\r\n\r\nrecent reports show that the beneficial properties of probiotic strains are dependent on the types of strains, themselves.\r\n\r\naccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/femsle\/article\/334\/1\/1\/579191\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>microbiology letters<\/em><\/a>, the possible probiotic advantages \u201ccan only be attributed to the strain or strains tested, and not to the species or the whole group of lactic acid bacteria or other probiotics.\u201d\r\n<h3>microcrystalline cellulose<\/h3>\r\nmicrocrystalline cellulose is a name for refined wood pulp that can be used for a number of things, including an anti-caking agent, an emulsifier, and a fat substitute.\r\n\r\na fat substitute is a type of food that acts like fat, with the same functions, chemical and physical characteristics, and stability of normal, everyday fat but with fewer calories per gram.\r\n\r\nthis ingredient serves to help eliminate fat by replacing it with a fat substitute so that your body would still have fat to work with but with less of the danger that comes with regular fat.\r\n<h3>hypromellose<\/h3>\r\nhypromellose is short for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and is a partly synthetic, inert polymer which can be used as eye drops or an excipient in oral medications.\r\n\r\nan excipient is a bulking agent, used as a backup for more active ingredients in drugs whose amounts are too small. it can also help drug absorption and solubility. it serves to help the supplement dissolve in your system in order to work faster.\r\n<h3>propyl gallate<\/h3>\r\nthis is an ester formed from ethanol and gallic acid. it acts as an antioxidant, which serves to eliminate the effect of oxidation in the system.\r\n\r\noxidation produces free radicals which lead to chain reactions that may damage cells in the human body. it has beneficial health effects. the introduction of this into the system has advantages that cannot be overlooked.\r\n<h3>magnesium stearate<\/h3>\r\nmagnesium stearate is a compound made up of two stearic acids and magnesium.\r\n\r\nit also works as an excipient, meaning that it enhances the therapeutic effects of the most active ingredient(s) in the drug, as well as aiding the swallowing of drugs and its easy movement down the intestinal tract.\r\n<h3>sodium caseinate<\/h3>\r\nit is a complex name for casein, a type of protein found in the milk of mammals. it represents 80% of the protein in cow milk and 60% of the protein in human milk.\r\n<h3>trisodium citrate dihydrate<\/h3>\r\nthis can be used to resist changes in the ph levels as an acidity regulator or a buffering agent. it can also be used as a preservative, flavor, or food additive.\r\n<h2>does align work?<\/h2>\r\nthe patented b. infantis 35624 strain is a proven effective microorganism. according to <a class=\"editor-rtflink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc3424311\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>clinical gastroenterology and hepatology<\/em><\/a>, because of this, it is believed that any probiotic which contains it is excellent and reliable.\r\n\r\nfrom the dozens of reviews from customers from various locations all over the united states, there is a rave about it; the positive acclaim is glaring.\r\n\r\nin addition to this, align is gluten-free so that there is no barrier for possible users, just in the event a gluten-sensitive person decides to try it.\r\n\r\nwould we recommend it based on these? probably, but considering that there is never a 100% efficacy to anything so bear that in mind.\r\n\r\nhowever, from this standpoint, it would not be unsafe to refer someone to it.\r\n\r\nalign is available on the official website or amazon for approximately $15 for 14 capsules.\r\n<h2>how to use align<\/h2>\r\nyou may take a capsule once a day, every day.\r\n\r\nif you are already taking an antibiotic and require a probiotic, give a few hours before and after the antibiotic because it may get in the way of the probiotic working well.\r\n<h2>align results<\/h2>\r\nyes, you probably have some other probiotic which you use but are not entirely comfortable with.\r\n\r\nso why should you try this? what makes it stand out from the rest? there is nothing better than the public, different people, with different perceptions and orientations, saying practically the same thing about something.\r\n\r\ndo not get it wrong; we are not putting our money where our mouth is on this yet, but the claims are notable. some of the results which users claim to have got from align are:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>restoration of stomach balance<\/li>\r\n \t<li>quick action, giving fast relief and response<\/li>\r\n \t<li>total reliability<\/li>\r\n \t<li>affordable<\/li>\r\n \t<li>works better on the stomach than dairy products<\/li>\r\n \t<li>can be preserved at room temperature, unlike many others that need refrigeration<\/li>\r\n \t<li>takes care of flatulence<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nknow that in almost everything, the good comes with the bad. hardly anything is 100% fool-proof but sometimes, the good trumps the bad.\r\n<h2>align side effects<\/h2>\r\nthere are several wrong turns which may occur from the continuous use of the supplement.\r\n\r\nalign is a probiotic. therefore, any negative or adverse effect generally associated with probiotics could be equally associated with the supplement.\r\n\r\nthe side effects listed are from the few users who had not-so-good reactions to the supplement. these include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>high fever<\/li>\r\n \t<li>bloating<\/li>\r\n \t<li>cough<\/li>\r\n \t<li>rash<\/li>\r\n \t<li>swelling of the throat and tongue<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nlike we have said before, you cannot have it all. just know how your body works and go with the flow.\r\n\r\none thing to be aware of is that it contains milk, making it an allergy concern for lactose intolerant ones.\r\n\r\nif it doesn't work, don't force it. there are other side effects, so if you notice any adverse change in your system while taking it, you know what to do.\r\n<h2>align claims<\/h2>\r\nalign asserts its distinctiveness among probiotics by featuring the patented b. infantis 35624 strain, although no clinical evidence currently substantiates its purported benefits to digestive health. the manufacturer contends that consistent daily consumption can strengthen the digestive system by introducing a continuous supply of beneficial bacteria, thereby preserving the natural balance of the digestive system.\r\n\r\nmoreover, the product asserts itself as the preferred probiotic brand, as recommended by gastroenterologists in the united states for a noteworthy nine-year duration. it is essential to note that these claims originate from the manufacturer and lack concrete clinical validation.\r\n<h2>align and weight loss<\/h2>\r\nalign does not blatantly claim to be a fat burner. two groups of good micro bacteria are found in the digestive system: firmicutes and bacteroidetes.\r\n\r\nbodyweight is dependent on which of these two groups of bacteria is more in a person's system.\r\n\r\nif a person has more of the firmicutes, then such a person tends to be overweight, and if a person has more of the bacteroidetes, then such a person has an average weight.\r\n\r\nwith the balancing ability of probiotics, align can help a user shed extra fat by creating a workable balance between the firmicutes and the bacteroidetes.\r\n\r\nshould you trust it to lose weight? not entirely. no particular supplement, no matter the reviews, works without proper exercise and dieting. so, don't put all your 'weight' on one tiny capsule.\r\n<h2>align lawsuits<\/h2>\r\naccording to <a class=\"editor-rtflink\"

connected to align probiotics. the case, detailed at alignsettlement.com, agreed to pay up to $49.26 to people who purchased the supplement between march 1, 2009, and june 6, 2016. the lawsuit pertained to advertising and marketing.\r\n<h2>align alternatives<\/h2>\r\njust in case you find yourself too comfortable with this probiotic, as funny as that sounds, you could try culturelle.\r\n\r\nit is an equally good one with a different strain called lactobacillus rhamnosus gg, the number one selling probiotic strand in the united states.\r\n\r\naccording to <a class=\"editor-rtflink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/lactobacillus-rhamnosus-gg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drugs.com<\/a>, filed for a patent in april of 1985 by sherwood gorbach and barry goldin, lactobacillus rhamnosus gg was isolated in 1983 from the digestive tract of a healthy person, meaning that it is a good bacterium and advantageous to the digestive system.\r\n\r\nthe claim is that the strain is bile-and acid-stable, generates lactic acid, and is likely in the human intestinal mucosal cells.\r\n\r\nthis strain is the world's most studied probiotic strain, with over 800 studies to its name.\r\n\r\nthe patented b. infantis 35624 strain is a proven effective microorganism. according to <a class=\"editor-rtflink\"

line on align<\/h2>\r\nstill, considering align for weight-loss? well, we like that it promotes digestive health and that we found some positive user reviews, but we're skeptical about this one because there's no direct connection between the formula and weight-loss. we're also concerned because customers are talking about negative side effects and how they're not seeing results.\r\n\r\nlosing weight is a journey that you don't have to travel alone. so, we suggest going with a program that promotes weight loss with a support system to see you through the tough times and successes.\r\n\r\namong the best programs we\u2019ve seen this year is one called [promoted_product_link]. the weight-loss app is centered around personalized solutions, like human coaching and

\/>\r\n\r\nbeyond raw lit refers to a clinically dosed pre-workout supplement produced by the sports nutrition brand beyond raw. beyond raw is a brand owned by gnc (general nutrition centers), a well-known retailer of nutritional supplements.\r\n\r\nbeyond raw lit is designed to be used before workouts to enhance energy, focus, and overall performance during exercise. the specific formulation of beyond raw lit may include ingredients such as caffeine, beta-alanine, citrulline malate, and other compounds commonly found in pre-workout supplements. these ingredients are often chosen for their potential to improve endurance, increase blood flow, and enhance mental alertness.\r\n\r\nbeyond raw is located on the 14th floor at 300 sixth avenue, pittsburgh, pa 15222. these ingredients have come together in an objectively superior formula designed to support workouts that are consistently better. lit\u2019s primary and only purpose is to aim for mental alertness, extreme energy, and production of nitric oxide, which would maximize the user\u2019s ability to get the results that they crave for. the product is engineered to give super-charged energy to the person who does daily workouts, but does research show the ingredients work?\r\n\r\nthe main ingredients are beta-alanine, creatine and caffeine - let's take a look at the science behind these three.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a

out byproducts such as carbon dioxide and adenosine to provide the needed space for oxygen. these cause the blood vessels in that area to expand. this process is called vasodilation.\r\n<h2>how did beyond raw lit start?<\/h2>\r\ngnc, the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 behind beyond raw lit, crafted this pre-workout supplement to support individuals re-entering the gym scene after an extended break. designed to boost energy, enhance endurance, and sharpen mental alertness, beyond raw lit aims to motivate users during their workouts.\r\n\r\nsince its introduction in 2017, beyond raw lit has gained significant popularity. in july 2019, gnc launched beyond raw lit af (advanced formula), an enhanced version featuring increased dosages of familiar high-quality ingredients found in lit. the addition of new ingredients promises heightened power, better pumps, and improved focus.\r\n\r\non january 23, 2023, gnc expanded the beyond raw lit pre-workout collection by introducing a new flavor: jolly rancher cherry. this joins the existing flavors like jolly rancher green apple, watermelon, blue raspberry, and grape (exclusive to gnc since 2022).\r\n\r\nyou can find beyond raw lit at gnc and amazon. gnc, with a \"b-\" rating from the better business bureau (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/pa\/pittsburgh\/profile\/health-products\/general-nutrition-centers-inc-0141-4949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bbb<\/a>), has an average customer review of 1\/5 stars based on 20 reviews. notably, there have been 150 customer complaints closed by gnc in the past three years, with 46 of those occurring in the last year alone.\r\n<h2>beyond raw lit claims<\/h2>\r\ngnc beyond raw lit claims that its ingredients are all clinically-dosed, meaning it has the same amount used in clinical studies. the pre-workout supplement claims that it combines non-traditional and traditional ingredients to give you a tremendous pre-workout experience and take it to the next level. the manufacturer also claims that beyond raw lit alleviates mental fatigue and makes your mind sharp. the claims can be summarized as:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>beyond raw lit is made with ingredients that are scientifically proven.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>the supplement helps build lean muscles for a muscular body.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>beyond raw lit boosts blood circulation throughout your body for giving you more energy.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>the pre-workout supplement increases the metabolic rate, so the fats are converted into energy.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>beyond raw lit ingredients<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beyond-raw-lit-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"beyond raw lit ingredients\" width=\"1000\" height=\"680\" \/>\r\n\r\nbeyond raw lit has the policy of openly declaring all its ingredients on the label. according to the amount (weight) of the substance present, it can be listed as follows:\r\n<h3>beta-alanine<\/h3>\r\nbeta-alanine can help in gaining lean mass. this amino acid helps in gaining power and endurance but has its share of side effects. according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc4501114\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>journal of the international society of sports nutrition<\/em><\/a>, ingesting high doses of over 800 mg of beta-alanine can lead to tingling or flushing.\r\n\r\nbeta-alanine levels can continue to rise for at least 12 weeks even though the most dramatic changes occur within 3 to 4 weeks.\r\n<h3>creatine<\/h3>\r\ncreatine monohydrate is an amino acid that aids in improving endurance and strength. creatine helps provide fuel to the atp in muscles. when you provide your muscles with more energy than they would usually get, it improves your endurance and enables you to train for a longer duration in the gym. creatine is considered safe with some adverse effects that have been reported.\r\n\r\nwhen creatine is used in combination with other supplements for a long period, it is reported to cause complications. it is necessary to monitor any abnormalities during creatine supplementation regularly.\r\n<h3>caffeine<\/h3>\r\ncaffeine is a well-established and most dependable stimulant for giving energy and power. it promotes what's termed as wakefulness, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21734299\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>journal of neuroscience<\/em><\/a>. it is ideal for all pre-workout. caffeine also helps in boosting metabolism, which in turn helps in burning calories that are extra. the effects caffeine has on memory, performance, coordination, and learning are because of its methylxanthine content.\r\n\r\ncaffeine increases adrenaline levels and improves tolerance to fatigue. caffeine does affect sleep, but withdrawal symptoms may begin if you stop using the stimulant when taken for too long. according to the american heart association, caffeine intake can result in excessive urination, leading to dehydration. caffeine also makes the heart to beat at a faster rate than usual.\r\n<h3>coffee bean<\/h3>\r\nit could be classified as a fat-burner rather than as a pre-workout. coffee bean does contain some amount of caffeine and, as such, works as a stimulant, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/29577294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>journal of food science<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 it likely has been included in this supplement because of the benefit of its chlorogenic acid. chlorogenic acid is found in green coffee and is said to have health benefits, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28391515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>european journal of nutrition<\/em><\/a>. green coffee refers to the unroasted coffee bean, which has a higher level of chlorogenic acid.\r\n\r\ngreen coffee is popular for weight loss.\u00a0the green coffee extract is used in several weight loss supplements such as \u201csvetol\u201d and \u201ccoffee slender.\u201d green coffee is observed to cause changes in the glycemic index of older adults.\r\n<h3>elevatp<\/h3>\r\nthis is a clinically researched, proprietary combination of a water extract of fossil plants (ancient peat) and an apple extract. this combination works with the innate energy-creating mechanism of our body to increase atp production (adenosine triphosphate), which is called the \u2018molecular unit of currency.\u2019\r\n\r\nstudies in the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc4950767\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bmc complementary and alternative medicine<\/a><\/em> have concluded that supplementing with apple extract and ancient peat while undergoing periodic resistance training may improve performance adaptations.\r\n<h3>l-citrulline<\/h3>\r\nthis is a non-essential amino acid. it helps boost the production of nitric oxide in the body, which helps the arteries to work well, which in turn helps the better circulation of blood in your body.\u00a0 it is sometimes used for boosting energy and improving athletic performance.\r\n<h3>arginine<\/h3>\r\narginine is commonly called as a growth hormone releaser. l-arginine helps the growth of muscles because it is required for the synthesis of protein. it also promotes the metabolism of fat and the release of growth hormones.\r\n\r\nthis results in a physique that is lean and has a lean muscle mass, the ideal for bodybuilders and weight lifters. l-arginine can cause side effects such as nausea and weakness. hence, the supplement should start with a mild dose before workouts and gradually increased.\r\n\r\nother ingredients include sucralose, citric acid, natural &amp; artificial flavors, soy oil, sorbitol, and glycerin.\r\n\r\nthis pre-workout supplement from gnc has just the main ingredients to do the work. there are noticeably no proprietary blends to be worried about, no added vitamins or micronutrients. of its components, some are pump ingredients, some are endurance ingredients, and some are strength ingredients. it is a regular tried and tested formula.\r\n<h2>beyond raw lit

more efficient when a heaped scoop was taken instead of leveling the spoon. some reviewers have said that the supplement takes longer to take effect than other such products in this genre. therefore, the general advice is to drink the supplement 5 to 10 minutes before arriving at the gym. apparently, the ingredient beta-alanine starts reacting immediately, causing a tingling sensation on

medicine<\/em><\/a>, whey protein is not just a dietary supplement - it is a vital functional food that can help increase muscle mass, regulate body weight, and several other health benefits.\r\n\r\nbecause of the presence of amino acids, whey powder is a high-quality protein that is also easily digestible. whey protein also has a number of antioxidant-rich substances that can help boost general health and immunity against certain health conditions.\r\n<h3>amino acids<\/h3>\r\namino acids are nutrients that come from proteins in food \u2013 meat, legumes, and dairy products, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/nbk234922\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommended dietary allowances<\/a>.\r\n\r\nthere are also branched-chain amino acids that are used for medical purposes, and can also be used to improve concentration and exercise performance. they also prevent muscle breakdown during intense exercise.\r\n<h3>caffeine anhydrous<\/h3>\r\ncaffeine is very widely used to improve alertness. it is used orally or rectally combined with other painkillers to relieve pain or to treat headaches. it is a very common stimulant among sportspeople. drinking coffee within a controlled amount is permitted by the national collegiate athletic association (ncaa).\r\n<h3>taurine<\/h3>\r\ntaurine is an amino sulphonic acid, but it is often called an amino acid. taurine is found in large quantities in the retina, brain, heart, and in blood cells called platelets.\r\n\r\ntaurine is a conditional amino acid and is made by our body itself. it is used in supplements to treat seizure, and are also used as antioxidants.\r\n\r\ntaurine is most likely safe when it is taken orally in a controlled amount.\r\n\r\nstudies conducted on a group of people who were given taurine periodically did not report any instances of side effects.\r\n<h3>lecithin<\/h3>\r\nthis is a type of fat that is made up of choline and inositol. it is used for treating gallbladder problems, as reported by vanderbilt university.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>sucralose<\/li>\r\n \t<li>citrus aurantium<\/li>\r\n \t<li>xanthan gum<\/li>\r\n \t<li>artificial &amp;

 manufactures several products in the 1up nutrition line \u2013 1up nutrition for men, 1up nutrition for women, 1up nutrition bcaa for her, 1up nutrition pro test, and many more.\r\n\r\nall the products come with the promise of premium quality protein. according to the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28937838\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">journal of dietary supplements<\/a><\/em>, while it is true that whey protein will help muscle strength and body composition, it is important to know that protein should be consumed in moderation.\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc4045293\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">isrn nutrition<\/a><\/em> claims that too much protein leads to the accumulation of body fat, and it can also overwork the kidneys.\r\n\r\nthe general diet of americans is made up of a good amount of protein. so when you add 1up nutrition as meal replacement supplement to your normal diet, the protein consumption may exceed the daily amount recommended.\r\n\r\nthe consumption level of 1up nutrition protein powders will also depend on your level of physical activity.\r\n\r\nif you exercise regularly and keep yourself physically active, you will need to have more than 0.36 grams per pound of your weight every day.\r\n\r\nhowever, if you don\u2019t exercise regularly or have a sedentary lifestyle, your daily protein requirement is less than 0.36 grams per pound of weight. it is important to talk to your doctor and find your daily protein requirement before you start using 1up nutrition supplements.\r\n<h2>1up nutrition lawsuits<\/h2>\r\ncompanies are often accused of selling supplements for before and after workouts as \u2018protein powders\u2019 that end up being essential powders spiked with cheap-quality fillers.\r\n\r\nto keep up with the demand for macronutrients and proteins of dieters, athletes, and bodybuilders, the protein supplement industry has turned into a multi-billionaire market. many of these products claim to have much more protein than they actually do.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plexus-slim-lawsuits.jpg\" alt=\"plexus slim lawsuits\" width=\"960\" height=\"627\" \/>\r\n\r\nthe main allegation against companies such as 1up nutrition is that the companies mislead the public by using misleading language on the label. the lawsuits contend that these companies have been doing that for a long time. but the supplement companies vehemently deny this and claim that \u2018protein spiking\u2019 in their industry still complies with the rules of fda.\r\n\r\nthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/dietary-supplements-guidance-documents-regulatory-information\/dietary-supplement-labeling-guide-chapter-iv-nutrition-labeling#4-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">food and drug administration<\/a> regulations for supplements specify that labels of products that list only individual amino acids and ingredients added for technological reasons should not mention \u2018protein\u2019 as one of them.\r\n\r\nbut 1up nutrition supplements do contain whey protein as a predominant ingredient in addition to amino acids, and so, the inclusion of \u2018protein\u2019 on its label is justified.\r\n\r\nin august 2019, 1up nutrition was sued for its telemarketing practices. apparently, a customer filled out some information while in the process of checking out. however, after he decided not to opt for rewards text messages and decided not to make a purchase at all, the customer started receiving unsolicited text messages from the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
