These products are products that often help with slimming product formations and increase water excretion from the body (kidneys) such as Bromelain, Parsley, Cherry Stalk, which can also be used alone.

Fat Burning Products

L-Carnitine, which can be used individually as it usually enters slimming product formulations, are products that can increase the amount of fat burning in the body with or without sports, such as CLA. In response to the detection of high doses of fat-shredding and appetite-reducing effects of cinephrine active substance, there is also a blood pressure booster effect. Some oral combined products also have regional (abdomen, hips, bass) fat burning properties.

Metabolism Accelerator (Thermogenic) Products

Products used to reduce the working speed of our metabolism for various reasons can be counted in this group. Its main features are; they contribute to the burning of carbohydrates and fats by increasing the amount of energy burned or released in the body. It has recently been combined with other slimming active ingredients in combination. Natural herbal products containing Green Tea, Caffeine, Q Enzyme Co10, Pepper Extracts, Rosemary, Thyme, Cocoa, Iodine and iodine are examples.

"Vitamin D and COVID-19"

There have recently been advances in the treatment of COVID-19. Clinical trials support intervention with steroids and antiviral drugs to shorten both the length and severity of illness. Vitamin D has also been suggested as both a prevention and treatment but as yet all positive evidence is indirect. However, the strength of the evidence has prompted several authorities to recommend Vitamin D supplementation on a population level. Vitamin D deficiency is easily treatable by supplements, which are very safe^[1].

Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin being made by the action of sunlight on our skin. People living in higher latitudes tend to have lower levels of Vitamin D and increased mortality from COVID-19. In addition Vitamin D deficiency is more common in obese individuals, people with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and most strikingly amongst ethnic minorities in Europe and North America, all of whom have higher mortality rates from COVID-19

According to the Royal Society, Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of both respiratory viral infections and inflammatory conditions. Vitamin D has an important regulatory role in the human immune system, so a deficiency of Vitamin D is likely to cause immune dysregulation, which may reduce the first line of our defence against COVID-19^[2].

Charles Bangham, professor of immunology at Imperial College London and co-author of the Royal Society paper, said: “I started from quite a sceptical position, doubting whether vitamin D was going to play an important role in COVID-19, but I am now convinced that there is strong evidence that people who are deficient in vitamin D are more susceptible to acute respiratory tract infections^[3].”

Many countries have recommendations for use of vitamin D supplements. UK Government advice during the COVID-19 pandemic is that everyone should consider taking 10 micrograms (400iu) of vitamin D a day because they might not be getting enough from sunlight if they're indoors most of the day. Six medical societies from across the globe are also emphasizing the importance of individuals obtaining the daily recommended dose of vitamin D, especially given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on outdoor time. They felt the need to clarify the recommendations for clinicians. Central to the guidance is the recommendation to directly expose the skin to sunlight for 15 - 30 minutes per day, while taking care to avoid sunburn.

In Hong Kong with social distancing measures in place, particularly the closure of pools and beaches, it may be hard to achieve adequate daily sun exposure. This being the case individuals and families may wish to supplement with Vitamin D. According to Public Health England there are many brands, and formulations of vitamin D supplements that may have different recommended doses^[4]. This can make deciding which supplement to take difficult without health professional advice. If in doubt a blood test for Vitamin D status is readily available in Hong Kong and can allow your Doctor to guide your supplementation with Vitamin D.

"The First Clinical Trial to Support Vitamin D Therapy For Covid-19"

[Updated 27 Sept] Oral calcifediol reduced ICU admission for Covid-19 from 50% to 2%. And key questions about the trial answered.

Astudy from Spain finally presents the first clinical evidence for the use of vitamin D to treat Covid-19. The study, “Effect of Calcifediol Treatment and best Available Therapy versus best Available Therapy on Intensive Care Unit Admission and Mortality Among Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19: A Pilot Randomized Clinical study,” was published in The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology on 29 August. It is called a pilot because the sample size is small, but its randomization and prospective design still make it a robust research.

 

What the study did and found

Researchers randomly allocated 76 cases of Covid-19 into oral calcifediol (50 patients) or no-calcifediol control (26 patients) groups on the day of the hospital admission. Oral calcifediol was given at high doses at 0.532 mg on the first day and then at 0.266 mg on the third and seventh day, and then weekly until discharge or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Calcifediol, also called 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D3), is the main metabolite (effector) of vitamin D. All patients also received the best available standard care at that time, which was hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin.

Results revealed that 13 out of 26 patients (50%) in the control group were admitted to ICU, and two died in the end. In the calcifediol group, only one out of 50 (2%) required ICU admission, and none died.

Both calcifediol and control groups had similar baseline characteristics in terms of age, sex, comorbidities (lung, cardiovascular, and kidney diseases, type 2 diabetes, and immunosuppression), and clinical biomarkers of disease severity (oxygen levels, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, ferritin, D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase, and lymphocyte count). The only difference is that the control group had a higher prevalence of hypertension than the calcifediol group (57.69% vs. 24.19%).

Results revealed that 13 out of 26 patients (50%) in the control group were admitted to ICU, and two died in the end. In the calcifediol group, only one out of 50 (2%) required ICU admission, and none died. These results were statistically significant, equating to a 93% reduction in odds of ICU admission after adjusting for possible confounders (e.g., hypertension).

“Although this was a small trial, the ICU results are so dramatic that they are statistically highly significant,” stated a featured letter in The BMJ, a top-tier medical journal, in response to this clinical trial.

A few more questions about the study

1. What does the study not tell us?

All patients received standard care. Thus, it is not known if calcifediol would be effective on its own. And calcifediol is a medical drug used to treat parathyroid problems, so it is unclear if normal vitamin D supplementation would achieve the same effect.

Calcifediol is also 3.2-fold more effective than native vitamin D3 supplements in restoring low blood levels of vitamin D3.

The researchers also did not measure the vitamin D3 levels of the patients, but they were probably deficient based on prior population data. Still, it remains uncertain if vitamin D3 levels would affect the efficacy of calcifediol treatment for Covid-19. And other possible confounders in this study that the researchers did not measure are obesity, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.

2. Why calcifediol over native vitamin D3?

Calcifediol is the actual hormonal effector of vitamin D3. Upon contact with sun rays (UV-B spectrum), the skin makes vitamin D3, which can also be taken as a supplement. The liver then converts vitamin D3 into 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, also called calcifediol or calcidiol that has wide-ranging effects on the immune system and other physiological systems. In this sense, calcifediol is a better biomarker for the body’s stores of vitamin D3.

Calcifediol is also 3.2-fold more effective than native vitamin D3 supplements in restoring low blood levels of vitamin D3. Because normal vitamin D3 needs to undergo liver processing first, which is not required for calcifediol. Another perk of calcifediol is its higher intestinal absorption rate.

Healthy vitamin D status associates with a regulated immune system — characterized by increased B-cells and T-cells but decreased systemic inflammation, disease severity, and mortality…

3. Is the study in line with prior clinical evidence?

The clinical trial from Spain provided the strongest evidence to date that vitamin D3 therapy could work for Covid-19. These results support prior cohort and observational studies that found low vitamin D3 levels (calcifediol) in the blood as an independent risk factor for severe Covid-19, as discussed further here:

Low Vitamin D Levels as a Risk Factor for Greater Covid-19 Severity

Evidence from cohort studies, an observational study, meta-analyses, and reviews.

medium.com

Low vitamin D3 status not only increases the risk of greater Covid-19 severity but of positive diagnosis as well. In a September paper in JAMA involving 489 Covid-19 patients, those likely deficient in vitamin D3 had a 1.77-times increased risk of testing positive for Covid-19 than those with likely sufficient levels. The term ‘likely’ is used because vitamin D3 levels were measured one year before Covid-19 testing.

This result agrees with a previously published study paper where researchers found that, in a sample of 107 Covid-19 cases in Switzerland, those tested positive had significantly lower vitamin D3 levels (median 11.1 ng/ml) than those tested negative (22.0 ng/ml) for SARS-CoV-2. And this time, vitamin D levels were measured three days after the testing.

A more recent study of 235 Covid-19 patients discovered that healthy vitamin D status associates with a regulated immune system — characterized by increased B-cells and T-cells but decreased systemic inflammation, disease severity, and mortality — even after adjusting for confounders such as age, sex, BMI, smoking, and comorbidities.

4. How does vitamin D3 help fight Covid-19?

From a mechanistic standpoint, vitamin D3 and Covid-19 both target similar physiological systems — namely the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and immune system.

A recent breakthrough has uncovered that Covid-19 kills by bradykinin storm, in addition to the cytokine storm. The RAS regulates blood pressure and fluid volume and breaks down bradykinin. According to the bradykinin hypothesis, SARS-CoV-2 dysregulates the RAS via its interaction with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. This leads to the accumulation of bradykinin, which makes blood vessels leaky. This poses multiorgan consequences; for example, it causes leakage of fluid and immune cells into the lungs and breakdown of the blood-brain-barrier.

From a mechanistic standpoint, vitamin D3 and Covid-19 both target similar physiological systems — namely the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and immune system.

The research team that formulated the bradykinin hypothesis then proposes vitamin D as a potential treatment for Covid-19. This is because vitamin D is one of the very few hormones that regulates the RAS and prevents bradykinin accumulation. Vitamin D also acts as an immunomodulator that keeps inflammation at bay while supporting functions of B-cells and T-cells, which are essential in fighting infections and generating immunological memory. For instance, T-cells must have their vitamin D receptor (VDR) activated to ‘wake up’ form their inactive state.

Short abstract

Finally, there is a pilot randomized controlled trial that supports vitamin D3 therapy for Covid-19. Oral calcifediol reduced the risk of ICU admission by 93% compared to no calcifediol in Covid-19 patients. Specifically, 50% of patients in the control group were admitted to the ICU, and two died in the end. But only 2% of patients receiving calcifediol required ICU admission, and none died.

This trial supports prior evidence that low vitamin D3 status increases the risk of Covid-19 positive diagnosis, greater severity, and mortality. Further, mechanistically speaking, there is no reason why vitamin D3 could not be helpful. Vitamin D3 regulates the RAS and immune system, both of which are critical determinants of how one responds to Covid-19.

WHAT IS DERMOCOSMETIC?

What is dermocosmetics? What is not?

WHAT IS DERMOCOSMETIC?

    While we've all heard a lot of things like Dermocosmetics lately, I'm sure we can't clarify many things. As a healthcare worker engaged in this job, I wanted to shed some light on the subject.

    Before explaining the term dermocosmetics, let's explain a little word meaning and where it consists of. Cosmetics appear as the general name given to all products used over time to care for human skin, body and look better for many years. Dermocosmetics taboo; The drug used for the treatment of some dermatologically encountered conditions in humans as a result of the development of the cosmetics industry, cosmetics v. b emerged as a result of insufficient products and the need for more advanced products. For example; vaseline, glycerin v. in a body moisturizer used to moisturize the skin. Drugs or commercial products (cosmetics) obtained as a result of the use of substances that give moisture to the skin require frequent and repetitive use, while urea, hyaluronic acid v. Although it is used less with the addition of b substances, products that provide more skin moisture (dermocosmetics) can be reached. This is the main purpose of dermocosmetics. Taking the condition better, treating it, solving problems that may be encountered with patient sleepers or products related to other used products.

What content should we use??

What are the right known mistakes in this regard?

What should we pay attention to in cosmetic products??

• While dermocosmetics solve these problems, to prove that they are smoother and more effective, more natural; they have the following features.

• They may contain more specific and different properties of active substances.

• It has been dermatological tests and some features have been tested.

• They are produced in a more natural nature, especially with the principle that products to be produced for more sensitive skin and babies should be more natural. It carries special certificates on this subject and its natural ingredients are expressed in %.

• They may contain patented active ingredients and ingredients and Patented systems.

• Manufacturers specify their content in full and with quantities or %.

• One and a few active ingredients, standard plant extract and drogs, vitamins, minerals, patented ingredients, proven special products (such as thermal water), microbiological, bioactive ingredients, peptide-protein structures and all products they may contain are unlimited.

• They can be designed for some special cases, they can show some special conditions such as pH adjusted (such as incline washing gels), hygienic, sterile, chemical-free, apirogen.

• They can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, ailments and special conditions that can also be encountered in the skin or systemically.

• Many drugs or active substance carriers such as liposome, niosis, microcure, nanocure, transdermal systems are applicable to the new system and thus the desired feature of the product is recoverable (by ensuring that the protector from a sun with a liposome formulation descends to the lower layers of the skin, the length of action and the result of providing controlled release.

• They can be presented in very different packaging and active/ active substance carrier-protective special containers (with elevator pump system, double helix active-auxiliary substance mixer.

• Treatment of one or more conditions can respond to the condition of correction (such as wrinkle, detention bag, bruising eye cream.

• While their prices should be more expensive due to their intense content, their prices are in a downward trend with dermocosmetics production and increased brands.

• It does not contain many of the chemical or natural products that have proven odor, coloring matter, harms or possible harms (Parabens, oil derivatives.

• They undergo some tests as sensitive as drugs in terms of efficacy, side effects, shelf life, stability, toxicity, they are developed and tested under clinical conditions.

• Almost all dermocosmetics are sold in pharmacies. There are also products sold in both pharmacies and other sales channels.

• Common aspect of all dermocosmetics products; they are necessarily recommended by a dermatologist physician, a pharmacist or a skin specialist, according to different skin types, with separate solutions for different problems.

What health problems can be caused by not using dermocosmetics?

    We can divide the negative effects of not using dermocosmetics or using more other products into two gurus as short and long-term effects. Some of them do not use their product or occur as soon as they follow after use; some of them can occur longer months, years later. With all the scientific studies done today; more naturally based, close to nature, prepared in accordance with human nature (appropriate pH v. b) While showing that the products give better results, the treatment feature has shown that the products that are prepared for special treatment and prevention purposes, which are high and have more chemical properties, or that we have been dermocosmetically tabulated, have high patient sleepiness and treatment effectiveness. 

    For this reason, with the use of cosmetic products, we are more likely to encounter undesirable short and long-term conditions such as chemical reactions, skin reactions, side effects, product ineffectiveness. If we explain the situation with a simple example; when we moisten one hand of a patient complaining of dryness with a petroleum-derived vaseline-based cosmetic moisturizer and moisten the other hand with a dermocosmetics moisturizer with a high natural content containing natural avacoda extract; The results we will get from two hands, humidification effect times, product toxicity, damage to tissues and of course patient satisfaction results will be undoubtedly different.

DETOX

What exactly is detox? Detox is a nutrition program that should be applied regularly in order to be most effectively purified from toxins. Detox should be considered as adequate and measured intake of healthy and natural products, as opposed to what most people think and apply. It is the introduction of fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids instead of red meat with a high saturated fat rate, water consumption instead of coffee and alcohol intake, and the use of probiotic products that are of great benefit to the digestive system. Consumption of whole grain products, vegetable-sourced but quality protein, green lentils, dry beans such as baked beans, chickpeas are the basis of the correct detox program. 

Why detox is done? Delaying aging, Increasing motivation, Providing efficiency, Calming, Being energetic, Protecting from diseases, Resting organs, Purification, Rejuvenating, Clearing the skin

People Who Can Detox: Those who wake up tired in the morning, those who work with stress and hard work and frequent travelers, those who do not consume at least five servings of vegetables and fruits every day, those who do not drink enough water, consume intense alcohol, sugar and caffeine, those who complain about edema, gas and bloating, those who live immobile... 

Detox Program Not Recommended Conditions: Those with organ failure (Heart, kidney, liver), Pregnants, Pacifiers, Those with high blood pressure, Seniors, Diabetes patients, Children detox can be dangerous. 

When to do detox? Detox can be done in all seasons. However, the goal in the detox diet should not be losing weight, but just cleaning, resting the body and strengthening the immune system. Indispensable winter season, vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, potatoes, spinach, onions, artichokes and cauliflower provide you with support when detoxing. Ginger, chicory, fennel, celery, thyme, and dill can help remove excess water from the body. Grapefruit and orange juice also strengthen the immune system with vitamin C, which they contain. Is detox necessary, can't the body clean itself human body has the capacity to clean itself without the need for detox. However, the problem is caused by malnutrition, although many people lead a stressful and immobile life. Nor can the adverse conditions of the environment, the accumulation of metabolic waste taken into the body, the increase in diseases and the decrease in the vitality of the tissues create a need for detox. 

Should I do detox a doctor?? Can people do it themselves? People can do it themselves as long as they know the general principles. However, they should prefer the correct practices to be done with doctor and dietician control. How often it is done? Detox needs to be brought into the form of philosophy of life. However, people can also detox during seasonal transitions. 

Detox-Specific Foods: 

Vegetables: Carrots, beets, cabbage, celery, parsley, all green leaves, red-yellow ones, potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, garlic, ginger and onion v. b These vegetables should be consumed in three ways: 1) By making soup 2) Cooking in steam 3) Raw Vegetable Waters by tightening the water: Carrot, beet, celery, parsley and wheat grass can be prepared in blender. 

Fruits: Citrus fruits, apples, pears, watermelons, black grapes, cherry, grapes, pineapple and mango. Dried ones should not be used because they contain more sugar and less enzymes. 1) Its water is squeezed 2) It is passed through Blender and eaten in the form of fruit dessert 3) It is eaten as a whole Cereals: It should be kept in drinking water for at least six hours or one night and cooked in plenty of water with sea salt. Fresh nuts and seeds should be cooked the next day after being left in the water one night. 

Things to Consider When Making Detoxes

• Care should be taken after the detox program, not to suddenly switch to the old diet.

• What you don't eat is more important than what you eat. It is recommended to eat as little as possible. 

• Taking low nutrients and drinking too much fluid speeds up the body's self-purification time and increases its effect. 

• The most important substances the body needs are minerals, trace elements, enzymes and vitamins. 

• Animal protein, fat, refined sugar and starch increase the accumulation of acid substances in the body and prolong the cleaning process. Therefore, it should be removed from the detox program. 

• Fasting is also a detox. Heavy meals eaten alone in iftar disrupt this program. Simple, unrefined, herbal foods should be taken from essential nutrients. 

• In detox programs, it is desirable to remove all proteins from the diet, but skim milk, egg white and fish grills should be recommended. 

• Carbonated drinks should be avoided, instead the separator should be included. A glass of cola mixes sugar equal to white sugar as much as nine teaspoons of blood. 

• Fruits are absorbed from the intestine. Therefore, it must be eaten while the stomach is empty.

Detox Products on the Turkish Pharmaceutical Market: Due to the multiplicity of detox-effective products and the width of the detox concept, a complete detox product is not available on the market. Detox bands are the most common products with liver cleanser and preservatives, intestinal cleansers, antioxidant herbal or vitamin-based products. Due to the development of the detox concept, detox products are expected to increase and diversify.

DERMOCOSMETIC, NATURAL FOOD SUPPLEMENT, VITAMIN AND HERBAL PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE WINTER SEASON.

With the arrival of the winter season, significant changes occur in our body, skin, and spirit structure begins to form. The products you can use in this process; I wanted to remind you briefly. This the reason why our body's resistance to sickness became important in the period; multivitamins, especially vitamin C, immune system support natural food supplements and herbal products, herbal teas, herbal drogs, vegetable oils come to the fore.

Multivitamins: Fatigue, meeting what we cannot get from nutrients and what we normally need to take into the body In this period, we are ourselves in this period, by preventing the lack of concentration, the negative condition due to vitamin deficiencies they make us feel better.

Vitamin C; The most consumed products in winter due to its antioxidant feature and increase our body resistance between. It should be consumed especially natural and fresh. If it cannot be consumed naturally, reliable brands are especially natural and ester c forms should be preferred.

Fish oils; It is indispensable for the winter period and in this period from outside to those who cannot naturally consume fish I would like to remind you that they must take it. The important thing here is the fish we consume as natural food how much of the substances our body needs is able to meet. So it is absolutely in the winter period besides natural consumption, reliable, fish oil products sold in pharmacies, omega 3 quantities in it questioning, using I suggest.

Echineacea, Beta Glucan, Propolis, Black Elderberry, Propolis, Pelargonium get from plants like capsule prepared with extracts, syrup, lozenge, drop, tablet forms and natural drog containing these plants and herbal teas must be taken from reliable places, packaging quality, drog quality, drog ıssues such as quantity and standard statement should be questioned. 

Besides, vitamins and antioxidants; It has content such as Zinc, Selenium, Beta carotene, vitamin E, vitamin C, B Complex Vitamins combined natural food supplements can also be used.

Herbal Tea and Drogs: In the winter period, we often consume in the form of drog, tea, oil and help are the products we apply for. Daisy, Sage, Rosehip, Mint, Ginger, Lime, Carnation, Cumin, Thyme are the main ones.

As for my Dermocosmetics recommendations for the winter period: Winter period is an increase in the needs of our skin and Regular dermocosmetics use during this period as there is a period when it dries more it is very important.. Especially cleaning the skin and ensuring its moisture prevents future damage. Outer due to factors (wind, water, cold air v. b) special care for our affected hair during this period complementary and moisture masks, oils, special products should be added.
