Monolaurin and Quercetin Take Center Stage

From eNewsletter 2/8/2021

DID YOU KNOW that in a new, sweeping review of thousands of phytonutrients and nutraceuticals, two of our "go-to's" were found to have the strongest action against COVID-19? Monolaurin and Quercetin were two of the five most effective. Moreover, the authors in the Nutrients study remarked that they are not just effective against SARS-CoV-2, but many other viruses as well.

For those interested in conventional and integrative treatments for COVID-19 with over 250 references, this is our COVID-19 Condition Monograph.

Virus Prevention And Treatment

Continue extra immune support until summer of 2021. SARS-CoV-2 is not going away. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 is not the only virus we fight. There are influenza (flu), norovirus (stomach flu), adenovirus (common cold), and four other coronaviruses (common cold), among others. Prevent and Fight Coronavirus 2.0 Protocol.

WOW FACTOR STUDIES NOURISH GENETIC NUTRITION

Steve and Bonnie: We explained last week our belief in the importance of genetic data that companies such as 23andMe provide for the health and wellbeing of our population. The following recent studies echo this.

Zinc

A study from this month's British Journal of Nutrition explained the importance of understanding the genetic capability of SLC30A8, the zinc gene we screen for in our Pure Genomics screening. Simply, the authors purport that knowing a mutation exists in a patient allows the health professional to better track zinc status over a lifetime.

Omega-3

In another study from British Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that in children with mutations of the FADS and PPARG genes, optimal levels of omega-3 fatty acids beneficially affect their cardiometabolic profiles, including cholesterol and triglycerides. Both of these genes are included in our Pure Genomics platform.

Overweight & Obesity

We have consistently cited studies on the importance of FTO, the overweight and obesity. A study from the November issue of Nutrients found that those with mutations who overconsume carbohydrates are at much greater risk for overweight and obesity.

Cognition

In a study from Journal of Physiology & Behavior, researchers indicate that supplementation with lutein and zeaxanthin led to increases in both macula pigment optical density, a measure of lutein levels in the eye
