There is an increased interest among diverse consumer groups such as athletes, military and millennials for new plant derived flavonoids to enhance performance and improve health. Flavonoids possess wide spectrum of biological activities that might be able to influence processes which are disrupted in a disease. One of these novel rising stars in nutrition is called Quercetin, a high-profile flavonoid of the polyphenol group, extracted from different plant sources, mostly found in onions, grapes, berries, cherries, broccoli, teas and citrus fruits. Quercetin Benefits are broad!The beneficial effects of flavonoids like Quercetin come from their ability to function as antioxidant inside your body, neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that may cause cellular damage when their levels become too high. Damage caused by free radicals has been linked to numerous chronic conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.Based on several scientific research, Quercetin benefits are broad and may help you fight against the following conditions:Allergies, asthma, hay fever and hives In test tubes, quercetin prevents immune cells from releasing histamines, which are chemicals that cause allergic reactions. Researchers think that quercetin may help reduce symptoms of allergies, including runny nose, watery eyes, hives, and swelling of the face and lips.Heart diseaseMany studies suggest that Quercetin supplements may help reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, plaque buildup in arteries that can lead to heart attack or stroke. These nutrients appear to protect against the damage caused by LDL (bad) cholesterol and may help prevent death from heart disease. Hypertension Studies show that quercetin supplementation reduces blood pressure in people who have hypertension.Interstitial cystitis People with this condition have bladder pain similar to that from a bladder infection, and often experience an urgent need to urinate. In two studies, those who took a supplement containing quercetin appeared to have fewer symptoms. High cholesterol One study found that people who took quercetin and an alcohol-free red wine extract (which contains quercetin) had less damage to LDL cholesterol. Another study found that quercetin reduced LDL concentrations in overweight subjects who were at high risk of heart disease. Prostatitis Preliminary evidence indicates that quercetin might reduce symptoms of prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate. One study found that men who took quercetin experienced fewer symptoms than men who took placebo. Cancer Scientists have long considered quercetin, contained in fruits and vegetables, important in cancer prevention. People who eat more fruits and vegetables tend to have lower risk of certain types of cancer. Quercetin has been shown in studies to inhibit the growth of cancer cells from breast, colon, prostate, ovarian, endometrial, and lung tumors. One of these studies found that frequent intake of quercetin was associated with lower lung cancer risk. The association was even stronger among subjects who smoked more than 20 cigarettes daily.X Gold Health offers a Quercetin supplement combined with Bromelain. Bromelain is derived from pineapple stem with many benefits of its own and is renowned for being highly bioavailable. Both components combined together in the same formula have an increased antioxidant power...

A recent study by the University of Exeter in England has come up with a new claim for the health benefits of beetroot. Formerly a rather boring vegetable, beetroot does not immediately spring to mind when discussing health and nutrition, but in the last two years, nutritional researchers have discovered that the humble beetroot is up there with the other super foods that are so good for us.The researchers at Exeter have found that drinking beetroot juice can help fitness enthusiasts work out for up to 16% longer than those who stick to fruit juices or glucose drinks. The presence of nitrate in beetroot juice leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake, therefore making exercise less tiring. Beetroot juice has been attributed with helping to lower blood pressure and a daily glass of beetroot juice can aid hypertension and many cardiovascular diseases, but this is the first time that it has been linked with boosting energy levels. The blood pressure link was found in a study by the London School of Medicine and the Peninsular School. But if recollections of childhood encounters with acidic pickled beet are clouding your judgement, it may be time for a rethink on the subject. There is now a better way to add beetroot nutrients to your daily diet and get all the benefits: natural supplements.No wonder why X Gold Health Beet Root Organic Veggie Caps are so popular. These beet root pills leverage all the power of the beet root, a superfood, for you to experience a new level of total body wellness.And don’t be alarmed if you notice that your urine has turned bright pink. This is the effect of the betacyanin it contains, which gives the beetroot it’s distinctive colour. It has anti-cancer properties, particularly cancers of the stomach and colon, so don’t let this unfortunate side effect put you off. It is quite harmless.

Vitamin D, also called the sunshine vitamin, is critical for bone and immune health. It boosts bone health by increasing the amount of calcium you absorb from your gut and kidneys. Vitamin D also modulates the activity of the immune system, helping to finely tune it so it reacts against foreign invaders but doesn't promote inflammation. However, up to 75% of people are low or marginally low in vitamin D and there are lots of misunderstandings about this important vitamin. Here are five things you really need to know about vitamin D.    1. Food Isn't a Good Source of Vitamin D You might think you can meet your vitamin D needs through diet alone, but that's hard to do. Except for fatty fish, like salmon, cod liver oil, egg yolks, and foods fortified with vitamin D, most foods contain little or no vitamin D. Your body gets most of its vitamin D from sun exposure.When ultraviolet light rays hit your skin, your skin makes a vitamin D precursor from cholesterol. Your liver and kidneys activate this precursor to form vitamin D, also known as calcitriol. That's why sun exposure is so important for meeting your vitamin D requirements.   2. Vegans, Vegetarians or Dairy-Sensitive have challenges As mention in the previous item, the list of foods that contain vitamin D is short and almost entirely animal based. If you are Vegan, Vegetarian or Dairy sensitive and don’t eat fish, eggs, or dairy, it’s even harder to get vitamin D from your food. This means you’re getting even less vitamin D than the average person. And to make this even more challenging, most of vitamin D3 supplements in the market are also animal-based. X Gold Health Vitamin D3 is sustainably sourced from wild-harvested lichen with no animal byproducts of any kind.   3. Vitamin D Absorption is Low in the Absence of Dietary Fat If you take a vitamin D supplement, take it with a meal that contains fat. If you do, you'll absorb about 50% of the vitamin D from the supplement. If you don't, you'll only absorb about 25%. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, and absorption is low in the absence of fat. So, for better results, take your supplement with a meal.Dr. Dawson-Hughes, director of the Bone Metabolism Laboratory at Tufts University, demonstrated the importance of fat for vitamin D absorption in a recent study in The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. In the study, 50 healthy men and women took a large dose of vitamin D3 — 50,000 international units — with breakfast, and then provided blood samples throughout the day.Some of the subjects took the vitamin with a fat-free breakfast consisting of egg whites, fruit, toast and cranberry juice. The rest ate the same breakfast, but with either olive oil or corn oil mixed in so that it accounted for 30 percent of the calories. They tested two kinds of fat — monounsaturated (olive oil) and polyunsaturated (corn oil) — to...
