The Therapeutic Potential of Apigenin

Several plant bioactive compounds have exhibited functional activities that suggest they could play a remarkable role in preventing a wide range of chronic diseases. The largest group of naturally-occurring polyphenols are the flavonoids, including apigenin. The present work is an updated overview of apigenin, focusing on its health-promoting effects/therapeutic functions and, in particular, results of in vivo research. In addition to an introduction to its chemistry, nutraceutical features have also been described. The main key findings from in vivo research, including animal models and human studies, are summarized. The beneficial indications are reported and discussed in detail, including effects in diabetes, amnesia and Alzheimer’s disease, depression and insomnia, cancer, etc. Finally, data on flavonoids from the main public databases are gathered to highlight the apigenin’s key role in dietary assessment and in the evaluation of a formulated diet, to determine exposure and to investigate its health effects in vivo.

Not sure how many folks know, but we do offer Horizon II LED Infrared Red Light Therapy as part of our treatments which helps with muscle knots and overall inflammation/swelling not to mention bruising. It delivers a powerful 800mW of infrared (880nm) and red (660nm) light with 36 infrared super luminous diodes and 7 visible red super luminous diodes.

It works by:

- Boosting Circulation:
Infrared light increases blood flow to the affected area, which helps in faster healing.

- Reducing Inflammation:
It lowers inflammatory markers, helping to manage swelling and pain associated with bruises.

- Enhancing Tissue Repair:
Infrared light stimulates cellular processes that promote tissue recovery and regeneration.

Recommended Wavelengths
For bruising, specific wavelengths are most beneficial:

Near-Infrared Light (810-850 nm): This range penetrates deeper into tissues, making it ideal for treating more severe bruises and hematomas.

To effectively use infrared light therapy for bruises:

Start Early: Begin treatment as soon as possible after the injury for optimal results.

Session Duration: Use the therapy for 10-20 minutes per session.

Frequency: Aim for 1-2 sessions per week until the bruise fades.

The tiny plastic particles contaminating our air, water, and food have now been found deep inside human bones—and they’re a health concern, researchers warn in an analysis of 62 studies.

The review, published in the International, found that and can go straight into our skeletons. Although there are no human studies indicating harm, risks of bone weakening and deformities have been shown in animal and cell studies. The findings come as the International Osteoporosis Foundation projects a 32 percent increase in osteoporosis-related fractures by 2050.

Health care efforts currently focus on reducing bone complications through exercise, diet, and medications, but the role of microplastics remains poorly understood.

“Although osteometabolic diseases are relatively well understood, there’s a gap in our knowledge regarding the influence of microplastics on the development of these diseases,” Rodrigo Bueno de Oliveira, the study’s lead author and coordinator of Brazil’s Laboratory for Mineral and Bone Studies in Nephrology, said in a statement.

Micro- and nanoplastics have been found in human bones. Cell studies show that these plastics can harm bone cells by making them age faster, changing how they develop, and causing inflammation. Microplastics can also affect the cells in bone marrow, which are important for making blood cells.

The same that allows others to influence us can be turned inward—to guide our own behavior for good.

We usually start with confidence—move more, sleep better, eat smarter.

But quietly, apps, influencers, and algorithms are nudging you in other directions.

Your phone pings—you tap. Before you know it, you’ve ordered delivery on a tempting deal and skipped the dinner you’d planned—and the workout too.

Subtle as they seem, these nudges shape your day, your choices, your intentions.

That’s influence at work.

Here’s the twist: the same psychology that allows others to influence us can be turned inward—to guide our own behavior for good.

Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy, it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.

A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.

In the study, participants who performed 3 minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.

These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.

This is proof that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to support your metabolic health.

Overview of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a supplement derived from the amino acid cysteine. It is known for its antioxidant properties and plays a crucial role in producing glutathione, one of the body's most powerful antioxidants.

Health Benefits of High Doses of NAC

1. Antioxidant Support

Glutathione Production: High doses of NAC significantly boost glutathione levels, helping to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
Cell Protection: This antioxidant action can protect cells from damage, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases.

2. Detoxification

Liver and Kidney Health: NAC is commonly used in medical settings to treat acetaminophen overdoses, preventing liver damage by replenishing glutathione.

Environmental Toxin Defense:
It aids in detoxifying the body from harmful substances, enhancing liver and kidney function.

3. Mental Health Improvement
Mood Regulation:

High doses of NAC may help alleviate symptoms of mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder, by regulating glutamate levels in the brain.

Addiction Recovery:

NAC has shown promise in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms in individuals recovering from substance use disorders.

4. Respiratory Health
Chronic Lung Conditions:

NAC can help reduce mucus and inflammation in the airways, benefiting individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis.
Improved Lung Function: Studies suggest that high doses may enhance lung function and reduce flare-ups in respiratory diseases.

5. Fertility Support
Reproductive Health:

NAC may improve fertility in both men and women by combating oxidative stress, particularly in conditions like polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS).

Conclusion

High doses of NAC offer various health benefits, particularly in antioxidant support, detoxification, mental health, respiratory health, and fertility.
