The inflammatory response is a complex cascade of biochemical reactions that recognizes and responds to sites of injury. Inflammation can be triggered by a variety of stimuli, the most common of which include abrasion, chemical irritation and pathogen infection. Each of these stimuli injures the surrounding tissue in some way, leading to local tissue necrosis soon after the original injury. These tissue changes stimulate surrounding mast cells to release a variety of chemicals, including histamine, heparin and prostaglandins, all of which trigger an acute inflammatory response marked by increased blood flow, vessel permeability, white blood cell recruitment, and pain.
The adrenal glands are best known for their role in assisting the body to cope with stress. When the body is under stress, adrenaline can speed up the rate of metabolism and produce other physiological changes in the body. If stress levels remain high or are maintained over a long period of time, adrenal glands can become easily exhausted and unable to support normal daily functions. This is referred to as adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue may be a factor in many other health related conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety disorders, fibromyalgia, depression, hypothyroidism, and others. Some common symptoms of adrenal fatigue include, but are not limited to, excessive fatigue or exhaustion, even upon awakening after sufficient sleep, feeling rundown, low stamina, difficulty concentrating, low immune function, poor digestion, and consistent low blood pressure.
THE ROLE OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS AS A COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENT IN AN AESTHETICS PRACTICE
Mental ability and memory capacity decline with age. The aging process may affect memory by changing the way the brain stores, processes and manipulates information. One of the biggest concerns connected with memory loss is the possible onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Although Alzheimer’s is a fairly common disorder among the elderly, it is important to recognize that memory lapses have nothing to do with the disease. Mild cognitive impairment is a transition stage between the cognitive changes of normal aging and the more serious problems caused by Alzheimer’s disease. It often includes the memory loss problems common to Alzheimer’s, but does not meet the qualifications for advanced dementia. While many people who have mild cognitive impairment go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease, others do not. Therefore, a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment is not always a strong indicator of the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) is characterized by a group of metabolic risk factors that include:Protocol Library
Over the years, CustomVite has built a comprehensive library of protocols to provide nutritional support for specific health and wellness issues. Our Nutrition Team continuously updates these protocols with the latest research published in medical and nutrition journals. Our intent is to provide your patients with the maximum nutritional support for disease management or desired health goals.
Our Nutrition Team uses these protocols as guidelines when designing a supplement formulation for your patient. The supplements shown in these protocols are a general recommendation meaning that we can add, remove, or customize each supplement according to your patient’s unique nutritional requirements. Furthermore, the CustomVite team can incorporate any of these protocols, along with the requirements identified by the Heath Improvement Assessment and current laboratory results, into a tailored blend of nutritional supplements for each patient.
