Spirulina in Clinical Practice: Evidence-Based Human Applications- Spirulina or Arthrospira is a blue-green alga that became famous after it was successfully used by NASA as a dietary supplement for astronauts on space missions. It has the ability to modulate immune functions and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the release of histamine by mast cells. Multiple studies investigating the efficacy and the potential clinical applications of Spirulina in treating several diseases have been performed and a few randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews suggest that this alga may improve several symptoms and may even have an anticancer, antiviral and antiallergic effects.
NIH Report: They concluded that there is not enough evidence to determine if multivitamins reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer. Teenagers should get 1,300 milligrams (mg) of calcium a day for good health. There are about 300 mg of calcium in 1 cup of milk, so your daughter would need to drink about 4 cups of milk to get the daily recommended amount. High doses of beta-carotene from supplements do raise the risk of lung cancer in some people, but beta-carotene from foods like carrots does not.
NIH study confirms benefit of AREDS2 supplements for slowing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A series of studies called the Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS) conducted over the last 2 decades found that certain dietary supplements help slow the rate of vision loss in people with AMD who are at high risk of developing advanced AMD. AMD is the most common cause of vision loss in older people. The original AREDS supplement contained 500 mg of vitamin C, 400 international units (IU) of vitamin E, 80 mg of zinc, 2 mg of copper, and 15 mg of beta-carotene. Because high doses of beta-carotene supplements have been shown to increase the risk of lung cancer in some people, researchers also tested an AREDS supplement called AREDS2 that contains the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin instead of beta-carotene. Based on 10 years of data, NIH reported that the AREDS2 supplement reduces the risk of progression to advanced AMD even more, and eliminates the increased risk of lung cancer from the beta-carotene.

Rheumatoid arthritis is not only a disease of the joints. It’s a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the heart and other organs. Fortunately, many treatments are available. Since every RA patient is different, doctors will try each treatment for about 3 months, switching from one to the other to see what works.Researchers are working on how to determine which drugs will work best for a patient without the trial-and-error.
