Advanced Bionutritionals is marketing a supplement, Ultimate Bone Support, which focuses on improving bone density. It has 4 mg silicon from Horsetail herb, Equisetum arvense, which they say acts as a switch to turn on the bone-building process; 400 mg L-Lysine, which is a component of all forms of collagen, but also blocks the enzymes that break down collagen and acts as a glue to connect collagen fibers together; 500 mg strontium citrate, which has been shown to increase bone density and reduce risk of fractures; 2 mg Boron aspartate-citrate, which has been shown to have multiple benefits on bone strength, bone healing, preservation of bone-building osteoblasts, and countering bone loss from low hormone levels in women; 300 mg Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) extract, min. 30% alpha acids; also vitamin D3, vitamin K2, zinc, copper, and manganese. Is this supplement effective as a stand-alone nutraceutical for maintaining bone health with aging?

Some of the ingredients in Ultimate Bone Support by Advanced Bionutritionals are at lower levels than used in clinical studies establishing their effects when used singly. Does that not matter or is there a synergy from the overall combination of ingredients?

A viewer asks: “As a more convenient, and actually less costly, alternative to buying and cooking liver once a week to get enough vitamin A in addition to what is in the eggs I eat, is it safe and adequate to take either a serving of Primal Being Grassfed Beef Liver – 3000mg Freeze Dried Capsules, or an equivalent 3000 mg of Wholesome Wellness Grass Fed Desiccated Beef Liver Capsules, if they are equivalent sources of quality vitamin A?”

Dr. Al Sears wrote in a newsletter that “Synthetic, lab-created, vitamin A can build up to toxic levels and damage your liver. They’re sold as retinyl palmitate and they’re made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid.” Is he correct that retinyl palmitate-containing supplements should be avoided?

Some vitamin A supplements on the market are plant-based forms, like beta-carotene, but most rely on retinyl palmitate, made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid. Is using retinyl palmitate supplementation to obtain a healthy level of vitamin A both safe and effective, or being a synthetic substance, does it have limitations or toxicity compared to ingesting Vitamin A-rich foods?

A viewer asks: “Am I getting enough retinol in my diet by eating 2 eggs, twice per week? Do I need to eat 2 eggs daily to boost my intake of retinol to better support my health, especially with regard to restoring muscle mass?”

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is widely used in respiratory medicine, with a maximum licensed dose in chronic use of 600 mg/day, although use of up to 3,000 mg/day has been reported to be safe. The supplement studies combining Glycine with NAC (GlyNAC) have used doses of 100 mg/kg/day of each supplement. Thus, a 150-pound person (68 kg) would be taking about 6,800 mg of Glycine and 6,800 mg of NAC. Are these doses safe to recommend for daily intake, as long-term safety has not been established yet at these levels of exposure?

A viewer asks about a YouTube video: “I ran across this dentist, who after 40 years has never had a cleaning because she uses and promotes a protocol involving xylitol, which is sugar from birch trees. She claims that correct use of xylitol eliminates the unhealthy mutans streptococcus bacteria in the mouth and keeps only the good ones, thus preventing cavities and even reversing issues and restoring enamel to its ideal hardened state. She gets regular dental checkups and following this protocol she always comes away with confirmation of excellent oral health, including gums and enamel. Could you ask Creator about this?” Is this a safe and effective dental hygiene strategy? Is she being manipulated to convince people to put their dental health at risk? What is most important for us to know?
