Calcium is the most abundant mineral in our body; ninety-nine per cent of calcium is found in the structure of our bones and teeth. It supports normal bodily movement by keeping our tissues ridged, strong and flexible. It also serves as a calcium bank, offering a readily available source of calcium to the body if…
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect the kidneys, cause inflammation, protein and blood in urine, high blood pressure and kidney failure. There are two types of lupus; systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and ‘discoid’ lupus erythematosus. Discoid lupus erythematosus affects the skin only, whereas SLE can harm the kidneys, skin, joints, and brain and…
This article follows on from my last post about Kidney stones. If you haven’t read the previous post, I suggest you read that one first. Diet Dietary changes will depend on the type of stone that you have. This is why knowing this information from your healthcare provider is important. Calcium Stones If a calcium…
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays an important role in energy production in the body. Its primary function is to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells, where they are oxidized to produce energy in the form of ATP. However, in recent years, research has revealed a number of…
MOTS-C (mitochondrial open-reading-frame of the twelve S rRNA-C) is a recently discovered peptide that is believed to play a significant role in regulating metabolism and aging. It is a mitochondrial-encoded peptide that is released into the bloodstream and regulates insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism. Research suggests that MOTS-C may have potential therapeutic benefits in treating…
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide or vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in many biological processes in the body. It is an essential nutrient that our body needs but cannot produce on its own, so we need to obtain it from our diet or supplements. Niacinamide is a precursor to…
What is NAD or Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays a vital role in the process of energy metabolism and production, and plays a key role in mitochondrial function. Its functions range from redox reactions, and it is also known as a central player in multiple cellular signalling pathways, organ resilience and longevity….
Both vitamins K and D are fat-soluble nutrients, both of which play a role in calcium metabolism. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is widespread and has become a major healthcare issue. The prevalence of VDD is estimated to be more than a billion people worldwide. It has been reported that in individuals with CKD, VDD is…
An overall incidence and prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are expected as we see the prevalence of obesity and diabetes increase throughout the world. We now know, risk factors associated with NAFLD are also associated with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Research has found, patients with NAFLD are at a higher…
What is Carnosine? Carnosine (β-alanyl-l-histidine) is a natural ACE inhibitor and a powerful antioxidant. Made up of two amino acids (alanine and histidine), it acts as a free radical scavenger protecting cells against free radical damage. It was first discovered in the 1900s by Russian chemist V.S. Gulewitch. Carnosine is naturally produced in the body…
