VITAMIN B

Many of us have an inadequate capacity to absorb Vitamin B through oral supplements. Intravenous Vitamin B facilitates direct delivery to the blood stream. In general, Vitamin B is essential for energy production as well as the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and cholesterol. Deficiencies can cause diseases relating to the nervous system, edema, skin disease, elevated homocysteine, cardiovascular disease, low red blood cells, and, in severe cases, Vitamin B deficiencies can cause delirium and death. Vitamin B1 (thiamin), Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine), Vitamin B7 (biotin), Vitamin B9 (folic acid), and Vitamin B12 (various cobalamins) are necessary for normal human function.

TAURINE

Taurine is an amino acid antioxidant that supports neurological function, mental, and athletic performance. It helps the development of the central nervous system and to regulate the level of water and mineral salts in the blood. Evidence indicates Taurine is beneficial for adult human blood pressure and possibly, the alleviation of other cardiovascular ailments (in humans suffering essential hypertension, Taurine supplementation resulted in measurable decreases in blood pressure). Taurine improves exercise capacity in patients with congestive heart failure. It is essential for cardiovascular function, and development and function of skeletal muscle, the retina in the eyes, and the central nervous system. Taurine is effective in removing fatty liver deposits in rats, preventing liver disease, and reducing cirrhosis in tested animals. Taurine has been shown to reduce the secretion of apolipoprotein B100 and lipids in HepG2 cells. High concentrations of serum lipids and apolipoprotein B100 (essential structural component of VLDL and LDL-Lousy cholesterol) are major risk factors of atherosclerosis-plaque formation in the arterial system, which can cause coronary heart disease. Taurine supplementation is possibly beneficial for the prevention of these diseases.

PHOSPHOTIDYL CHOLINE (PTC)

PTC is phospholipid. All phospholipids have a phosphate (water soluble) group and fatty acid chains (fat soluble) connected by a glycerol group. It is the fat and water solubility of phospholipids that allows them to form cellular membrane or skin of our cells.

Phosphotidyl choline as well as essential fatty acid is required for many vital functions in the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. PTC regulates the contraction and relaxation of muscles.

The body makes a neurotransmitter or a brain chemical called acetylcholine from phosphatidyl choline. Acetylcholine is important for memory and improving memory with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.

Phosphatidyl choline acts like a detergent and breaks down fat, and it is used to reduce the fat burden of plaque in arterial system. Intravenous PTC is used for high cholesterol, liver disease, and fatty calcium plaque deposits in arteries. It is interesting that now, phosphatidyl choline is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) for treating non-cancerous fatty tumors (lipomas), excess fat around the eyelids, and yellowish cholesterol deposits just under the surface of the skin (xanthelasmas) as it has been shown to melt fat. Phosphatidyl choline is the primary active ingredient contained in cosmetic injection products used to "dissolve" fat. These products include Lipolyse, Lipotherapy, and others.
