Lysergic acid diethylamide. Vitamin B6. Riboflavin. A solution of riboflavin. Riboflavin is best known visually as the vitamin which imparts the orange color to solid B-vitamin preparations, the yellow color to vitamin supplement solutions, and the unusual fluorescent-yellow color to the urine of persons who supplement with high-dose B-complex preparations. Apigenin. Apigenin (4’,5,7-trihydroxyflavone), found in many plants, is a natural product belonging to the flavone class that is the aglycone of several naturally occurring glycosides .

Apigenin

It is a yellow crystalline solid that has been used to dye wool. Pharmacological study [ edit ] It was recently shown that apigenin induces autophagy (a kind of cellular waste-recycling system) in leukemia cells, which may support a possible chemopreventive role, but that induction of autophagy simultaneously induces resistance against the chemotherapy drug vincristine . [ 3 ] Apigenin is a potent inhibitor of CYP2C9 , [ 4 ] an enzyme responsible for the metabolism of many pharmaceutical drugs in the body.

Apigenin has been shown to prevent renal damage caused by cyclosporin in rats, associated with reduced expression of the cell death mediator bcl-2 in histopathological sections. [ 5 ] Cyclosporine A enhances the expression of transforming growth factor-β in the rat kidney, which signifies accelerated apoptosis . Miso soup. Miso paste[edit] The choice of miso paste for the miso soup defines a great deal of its character and flavor.

Miso soup

Miso pastes can be categorized into red (akamiso), white (shiromiso), or mixed (awase). Espresso. An espresso in a classic porcelain espresso cup Espresso (/ɛˈspɹɛsəʊ/ italian: /eˈsprɛsso/) is coffee brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans.

Espresso

Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, has a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and has crema on top (a foam with a creamy consistency). As a result of the pressurized brewing process, the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated. Dannon Oikos® Greek Yogurt. Turkish coffee. A cup of Turkish coffee, served from a copper cezve, in Turkey Turkish Coffee is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Turks confirmed by UNESCO.[1][2] History[edit] The earliest evidence of coffee drinking comes from 15th-century Yemen.[3] By the late 15th century and early 16th century, coffee had spread to Cairo and Mecca.[4][5] In the 1640s, the Ottoman chronicler İbrahim Pecevi reported the opening of the first coffeehouse in Constantinople.

The 100-meter Sprinter's Diet. Non-athletes and athletes both need the same basic nutrients.

The 100-meter Sprinter's Diet

Both groups of people need vitamins and minerals, especially when exercising. However, athletes need more calories and more fluids to replenish their supplies. Because they participate in an activities that are strenuous, like running a 100 meter dash, athletes need the energy to last. Sodium bicarbonate. History[edit] The ancient Egyptians used natural deposits of natron, a mixture consisting mostly of sodium carbonate decahydrate, and sodium bicarbonate. The natron was used as a cleansing agent like soap. Leucine. Leucine (abbreviated as Leu or L)[2] is a branched-chain α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2CH(CH3)2.

Leucine

Leucine is classified as a hydrophobic amino acid due to its aliphatic isobutyl side chain. It is encoded by six codons (UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, and CUG) and is a major component of the subunits in ferritin, astacin and other 'buffer' proteins. Trimethylglycine. Trimethylglycine (TMG) is an organic compound that occurs in plants.

Trimethylglycine

Trimethylglycine was the first betaine discovered by science; originally it was simply called betaine because, in the 19th century, it was discovered in sugar beets.[1] Since then, many other betaines have been discovered, and the more specific name glycine betaine distinguishes this one. Structure and reactions[edit] Trimethylglycine is an N-trimethylated amino acid. This quaternary ammonium exists as the zwitterion at neutral pH. Alanine. Alanine (abbreviated as Ala or A)[2] is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula CH3CH(NH2)COOH.

Alanine

The L-isomer is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the genetic code. Its codons are GCU, GCC, GCA, and GCG. Arginine alphaketoglutarate. "At present, there is no research published in peer-reviewed journals to support the assertion that an increase in nitric oxide levels promotes greater muscle protein synthesis or improves muscle strength.

Arginine alphaketoglutarate

There is also no evidence that the arginine alpha-ketoglutarate in “nitric oxide” supplements have any effect on nitric oxide levels in muscles. "[1] A recent study examined the effects of AAKG supplementation on heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow, NOx/NO2 levels, and l-arginine levels. Plain Soya.

Natural Gluten Free, Wheat Free & Flax themed Cereals. Nutraceutical. Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, was coined in 1989 by Dr. Stephen L. DeFelice, founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation Medicine (FIM) (Crawford, New Jersey).[1] The term is applied to products that range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and herbal products, specific diets and processed foods such as cereals, soups, and beverages.
