Supplements to Avoid
,
This week, we are going to take a little different twist. We will
look at supplements that, based on studies and clinical usage, do
not make the grade. Here are the "bottom" 3:

1. Calcium Pyruvate. Calcium Pyruvate has some evidence of
increased insulin sensitivity, fat loss, and lipid lowering
effects. The evidence is not strong for any of its reported
effects to put it mildly. Most human studies show no effect. In
studies that did show an effect on weight, the results were not
impressive. Doses used were bulky: 6-44gm Pyruvate (that's just
Pyruvate, not Calcium Pyruvate). 6gm Pyruvate was shown to be
somewhat effective when combined with exercise, though the effect
is probably due to exercise.
Even if pyruvate ingestion leads to weight loss, the required
doses are too high, expensive, and impractical to consume or a
regular basis.

Folic Acid has been shown to lower blood pressure in women. It
has also been shown to be an excellent prevention treatment for
this problem. Effective dosage is 1000mcg.

2,Chitosan (pronounced "Kite-o-san"). This product, in my opinion
was a disaster from day one. It is made from shellfish and is
supposed to keep your body from digesting fat. A new study from
U. of CA at Davis disputes these claims, warning that chitosan is
useless for weight loss. You would need to take 10 caps per day
for 7 months in order to lose ONE pound, according to the
researchers. In addition, chitosan has been linked to removing
useful mineral and trace minerals.
3. Melatonin. I want to like melatonin. The story behind it is
interesting and the idea is very creative.
However, the research behind this substance did not take my
feelings into consideration. A new US Dept. of Health and Human
Services study found that melatonin does not help people fall
asleep any faster and does not improve the quality of sleep once
you enter dream world. There are so many substances available
that are anywhere from good to outstanding for a variety of
ailments and for prevention. Unfortunately, the aforementioned
are not in this category.
