Good fats, bad fats: it all comes down to this

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Good fats, bad fats:

Here is what you should look for when choosing the right cooking oil

When it comes to oil in the kitchen, we are often faced with a huge selection and often use our dangerous half-knowledge when deciding what to buy. The “right” oil depends not only on its taste and properties, but also on the quality of the individual oils. You can find out what you should look out for here.

Functions of fats in our body

First and foremost, fats are an essential source of energy for the body and a source of vitamins – but their properties as vital components of the cell membrane, i.e. the outer shell of our body cells, should not be ignored. More precisely, fatty acids provide the scaffolding around the healthy cell nucleus and thus offer important protection against external influences. They therefore not only maintain and care for our brain cells, but also prevent premature aging of our skin, for example. It is therefore all the more important that we supply our bodies with valuable and stable fatty acids to keep our cells healthy and to protect them. Conversely, if we add unhealthy fats to it, the protective function of the cells cannot take place and the risk of cell damage increases.

Various Fatty acid species

The different types of fatty acids can be divided into the categories “stable”, “relatively stable” and “unstable”:

Saturated fatty acids are considered stable
(short, medium, long chain),
as relatively stable the monounsaturated fatty acids
as unstable the polyunsaturated fatty acids

These fatty acids are the main constituents of the various edible oils, but no oil consists of only one fatty acid.

Instead, it always contains a composition of different fats. And it is precisely this mixture of fatty acids and the qualitative properties of the oil that are decisive. Because there are no fatty acids in nature that can be described as unhealthy per se. Rather, the natural ingredients of the different types of fatty acids each have their own functions in our bodies. How good an oil really is depends very much on its extraction and subsequent (industrial) processing. It is precisely this processing process that determines whether and which functions the fatty acids fulfil or whether their consumption can even cause us harm.

A look at the label worthwhile

To put it simply, the more natural an edible oil is, the better it is. However, it is difficult to recognise this as such on the supermarket shelves. This is because, in order to preserve an oil for a long time and produce as much of it as possible, a large number of varieties are heavily processed during the industrial production process. In the process, the ingredients that are valuable for the cells are destroyed. You should definitely avoid these highly processed and refined oils that are heat-pressed and quite often have chemical solvents added to them. If in doubt, read the label carefully and be sceptical of suspiciously low prices. Another important indicator is your senses. If an unpleasant smell comes to your nose when you open the bottle, it is better not to use it.

Olive oil

Undeniably, olive oil is one of the most popular oils of all. And rightly so, because olive oil is indeed one of the good and healthy cooking oils. It consists largely of monounsaturated fatty acids, which the body can process well and offers and plenty of vitamin E. Another advantage are the naturally occurring antioxidants and polyphenols, which protect the oil from becoming rancid and at the same time protect the body from free radicals. To maintain this protection, it is best not to heat olive oil, or to heat it only minimally, and always store it in dark bottles. But there are also differences in olive oil. Look for the designation “extra virgin” or “extra virgin”. This is an important seal of quality and means that the olives have been pressed mechanically and without additional heat. Price is also important. If the price is less than 10 € per bottle, this often indicates inferior quality. Cheap oils are mostly blended products from different countries, where the production process is not always traceable.

15% Saturated | 76% Monounsaturated | 8% Omega-6 | 1% Omega-3

Sunflower oil

High-quality sunflower oil, which is cold-pressed, poses no problem and can be used to refine your dishes without hesitation. However, be sure to pay attention to the quality of the oil and rely on your senses here as well. On the other hand, the situation is different with conventional, cheap and highly processed sunflower oil, which we all know – you should not use this in the kitchen. The extremely high content of omega-6 fatty acids can be harmful to health and has a pro-inflammatory effect. Unfortunately, sunflower oil is still found in a whole range of processed foods – so it’s better to leave it out when preparing your food, even and especially when frying!

13% Saturated | 21% Monounsaturated | 66% Omega-6 | 0% Omega-3

Rapeseed oil

Canola oil is often cited by doctors as one of the healthiest of all cooking oils. In fact, this oil has many valuable unsaturated fatty acids and rightly enjoys the reputation of being beneficial to our cardiovascular system due to its composition. However, rapeseed oils can also differ from each other to a large extent. The cheapest and best known variety of this vegetable oil is heavily processed industrially to make it odorless and tasteless. During the manufacturing process, important secondary ingredients are destroyed. In order to additionally increase the yield during pressing, the use of solvents is also a common procedure here. In addition, to make it stable and less susceptible to oxidation, additives such as synthetic antioxidants are often added to rapeseed oil. If, on the other hand, the rapeseed oil is “virgin cold-pressed”, this means a gentle production process without the addition of heat and the absence of chemical additives. The ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 acids is also optimal. In addition, I always use Demeter-quality rapeseed oil.If you want to do yourself some extra good, give it a try.
In this respect, rapeseed oil of this quality is definitely an enrichment for the kitchen, but should always be stored in the dark and never heated to high temperatures.

7% Saturated | 61% Monounsaturated | 21% Omega-6 | 10% Omega-3

Coconut Oil & Fat

Because of the large number of saturated fatty acids, some medical experts have in the past advised against coconut fat across the board. Since then, however, many studies have proven the positive properties of coconut fat. Because of its high content of saturated fatty acids, the fat from the coconut is considered to be very stable and therefore has a long shelf life. Artificial additives or a multi-stage processing is not necessary for this, unlike many other oils. Because of its high smoke point, coconut oil is also a popular aid in the kitchen. It offers a health advantage due to its good tolerance and digestibility: it is low in histamine, gluten-free and lactose-free and is considered a good alternative for people with irritable bowel complaints. Its medium-chain fatty acids have a positive effect on our digestion and also make us feel full faster. Here, too, you should definitely place value on a quality product. Make sure your coconut fat or oil has the “extra virgin” designation on the label.

92% Saturated | 6% Monounsaturated | 2% Omega-6 | 0% Omega-3

Safflower oil

Safflower oil is usually sold as a refined cooking oil and is not recommended for food preparation. It has an unstable composition and an even higher proportion of omega-6 fatty acids than sunflower oil. With this fatty acid profile, safflower oil clearly poses a health risk – even when it has been gently cold-pressed. If it is processed industrially, chemical substances that are hazardous to health are also added to it. For this reason, the clear recommendation: Whether refined or cold-pressed – leave safflower oil on the shelf!

10% Saturated | 13% Monounsaturated | 77% Omega-6 | 0% Omega-3

Dosage Chaos – Part 1

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

The chaos with the dosages of vitamins & Co. - Part 1

Do you know it? You stand in front of the shelf at the drugstore shaking your head, wondering where the perfect dose for a multivitamin actually is. Is it three grams? Or 300 milligrams?

Annoyed, you put the bottle with the small print back on the shelf. Better no preparation at all than the wrong one – with which you are not entirely wrong!

But should you therefore do without the positive effect of additional vitamins? No, of course not! It is only important that you know which dose will really help you.

Ingredients under the microscope

Today we’re taking a closer look at the small print on the packaging – so you can make a well-informed decision in the end.

First, let’s take a quick look at the two most common weight units for vitamins, minerals, and vital nutrients:

Milligram, abbreviated as mg. 1,000 milligrams = 1 gram.
Microgram, abbreviated as µg. 1,000 micrograms = 1 milligram.

In our product
Forte
you will find a total of 1,000 mg of vitamin C – exactly 1 gram. The product also contains 900 µg of vitamin A – i.e. 0.9 milligrams.

The right dose for the desired effect

So much for the numbers games. Now comes the next step: you need to know where the effective dose starts in your multi-vitamin supplement. In fact, many products contain so few active ingredients that they are of no benefit to you. When I look at the preparations in the supermarket or drugstore, I usually find vitamin C concentrations of around 50 to 200 mg in them – which is clearly too little.

As a rule of thumb, multivitamin supplements with 300 mg of vitamin C or less won’t do you much good for boosting your immune system. The vitamin C does not unfold its full benefit in this concentration.
Why? Because 300 mg is just enough to cover the minimum requirement. In everyday life, you will not feel any improvement with this amount. For this to happen, there would have to be a very pronounced vitamin C deficiency, for example due to a completely wrong diet.

Conclusion: If you want to get the best for your health, you need a higher dose.

Soon we will continue with the second part

The correct dosage is enormously important with vitamins and food supplements. Therefore, there will be a second part on this topic for you shortly. If you’d like to know more and be notified when Part 2 is released, feel free to sign up for our newsletter!

7 fatal mistakes around nutritional supplements part 2

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

7 fatal mistakes with dietary supplements

A few weeks ago, we went over some of the mistakes made with supplements. We reported that impatience and misinformation are often at the root of the problem, that there is no “best” nighttime supplement, and that both price and trends can be irrelevant.

We’ve revisited this important topic for you and today we’ll show you three more points to watch out for.

* Source: German Food Association

Food supplements are not pain pills

Dietary supplements are not remedies for acute symptoms such as headaches. Nutritional supplements replenish your stores so the body can right itself. Nature itself is then at work. There is nothing more ingenious than the intelligence of our own body. The purpose of nutritional supplements is to support this process so that it can function optimally.

For your sake, say goodbye to the idea that supplements taken individually will make you feel better. It doesn’t. For example: calcium is a prerequisite for strong bones. But this does not work without vitamin D, because vitamin D controls this build-up in the first place. And without vitamin K2, the calcium does not reach the bones because K2 has to take over this transport. Without K2, there is a risk of calcium calcifying the blood vessels because the calcium you take in isolation is so deposited in the blood vessels. Vitamin D, on the other hand, can only function if enough vitamin A and magnesium are present.

The blood check at the doctor does not bring enlightenment

You do a complete blood count at the doctor’s office and you know what nutrients are lacking. You then only have to get these from the pharmacy and you have solved the problem. That would really be too good to be true. Except, unfortunately, that doesn’t work in reality. In fact, only a few vitamins, minerals in the blood can be determined in such a way that they really allow a solid statement about the actual situation in the cells. Often only a snapshot is shown, and this can vary from day to day, influenced by countless factors from everyday life. It is true that if there is a major deficiency, it is usually discovered.

Another point is that, fortunately, more and more young doctors are becoming interested in nutritional supplements, but this discipline is unfortunately only a marginal part of their training. This is referred to as the field of orthomolecular medicine. So if you want to get advice from a doctor about nutritional supplementation, find one who knows about orthomolecular medicine.

Be critical

The food industry explains to us why the new XY preparation is the absolute ultimate. The pharmaceutical industry, on the other hand, has a paper written that says dietary supplements are hokum and should be avoided. Both instances take a one-sided stance and both represent their very own profit strategy. The former must sell, the latter must displace the competition.

When you hear such apparently “colored” information in the future, prick up your ears and be skeptical. You don’t always see at first glance where the information originally came from and then marvel at who is putting it out there. We as consumers are often misled in this way. Therefore, always remain vigilant if the scattered information seems too one-dimensional to you.

Conclusion

If you want to make it easy for yourself, you trust the opinion of others or consume what is fashionable at the moment. However, this usually goes wrong because everyone has a different lifestyle and therefore different needs for their ingested food. Of course, we all need adequate magnesium, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and so on. But there is no way around dealing with your own nutrition in order to find out what you need. When you do this, always remember:

Food supplements only have the right effect when they are embedded in a holistic, healthy diet.
The quality of nutritional supplements is quite crucial
Food supplements do not replace a healthy lifestyle
A good product always covers all the vitamins & co. that the body needs on a daily basis. Depending on the definition, this is around 50 pieces.

Boost growth hormone – this is how it works

23. February 2021 by Viptamin

Boost growth hormone naturally

Today, let’s talk about one of your body’s most important hormones, and what it can do for you,

:

A hormone that determines how you feel on a daily basis, whether you have power and whether you are fat or thin. The growth hormone is a veritable Sleeping Beauty in men and women of “a certain age”.

The fact is that our internal hormone cocktail changes throughout our lives. The two good hormones drop and the two bad ones rise. You can measure that.

The two good hormones are growth hormone and testosterone. To make things a bit dramatic, just like in a fairy tale, there are of course the bad guys: Insulin and cortisol. The art now is to keep the two good ones high and the two bad ones low throughout our lives.

The growth hormone decreases in the course of life

Yet this hormone is nothing special at all. We all have it in our bodies. When we grow during puberty, the levels in our blood are around 30, 40, even 50. But that wears off. By the time you’re 30, you have far less, and by the time you’re 60, you have virtually nothing left in your body.

The growth hormone level does not have to drop

We know from Prof. Johannes Huber from Vienna that the pituitary gland still produces as much growth hormone in old age as it does in youth. It’s just not being released and secreted because we’re not stimulating the gland properly. Consequence: the body dozes off and grows old.

THE ORIGINAL VIPTAMIN
PURE OFFER
since 2011

This is how you can stimulate the growth hormone in a sustainable and natural way

So our aging process is homemade because we no longer stimulate our bodies. We just don’t release the hormones and grow old because of it. If we can do it without shots and pills, alone…

through proper stimulation, such as exercise and diet, to achieve the hormone levels of youth even in old age, then we would have won.

To help your body release growth hormone

Fill up your empty protein tanks. Then you have enough of the amino acids that are necessary for the production of growth hormones. We recommend our
Organic Protein.
Make sure you have a comprehensive supply of vital substances. A balanced diet is not enough for this nowadays.
Add what is no longer in our food. For example, if vitamin B6 is missing, you produce 50% less growth hormone. Also important: calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. We have just the thing for you:

Viptamin Complete Forte
Exercise. Those who exercise have more of the body’s own fountain of youth.
Lose excess pounds. Then you gain an increase in growth hormone. Overweight people produce less growth hormone. Significantly less! If you want to lose weight, you will find

here

more information.
Don’t keep tempting insulin with high carbohydrate foods. As long as the blood sugar level is high, the growth hormone remains inactive.
And another thing: alcohol reduces the release of HGH by up to 70%.

Growth hormone does all that for you:

Essential for normal growth
Fat loss and muscle building
Improvement of the skin texture
Increase vitality and sexuality
Better memory
Mood improvement
Increased sleep quality
Has a positive effect especially on muscles, liver, bones and kidneys
Increased uptake of amino acids
Supports the immune defense

Alpha lipoic acid - indications, treatment, side effects

Alpha lipoic acid is a fatty acid containing sulfur. In its natural (R) form, it occurs as a coenzyme in the power plants of every human cell (called mitochondria) and plays an important role in providing energy to the body. Since we only absorb a small amount of alpha lipoic acid through foods like spinach, potatoes, and red meat, researchers recommend extra intake.

Areas of application

Alpha Lipoic Acid is as.
Food supplement
available. Many supplements are synthetic and contain a mixture of R- and S- alpha lipoic acid. The naturally occurring form R-alpha lipoic acid is decisively better absorbed. This natural form is also available as a supplement. Alpha lipoic acid supplements are rapidly absorbed, metabolized and excreted.

Because of their short residence time in the body, lipoic acid supplements should therefore be taken in doses throughout the day. The intake of 3 x 350mg oral dose is ideal. As with vitamin C, high doses are much more effective when given throughout the day. Oral doses can reduce oxidative stress. Basically, lipoic acid supplements act as effective antioxidants.

alpha lipoic acid - why is it so important?

Unlike other antioxidants, lipoic acid is both fat and water soluble. Thus, it can protect the more watery cell areas, blood and extracellular space as well as the fatty cell parts (e.g. the cell walls, membranes), lipoproteins in the blood or also the fatty nerve sheaths from oxidation.

Better the best quality than a cheap product

Vigilance is required here. Alpha Lipoic Acid by Viptamin contains 100 capsules with 350 mg lipoic acid each. The package price is €39.70. For this price you get 35 grams of natural alpha lipoic acid. Converted, the price per gram of lipoic acid in this case is therefore 1.13 €.

Significantly cheaper offers are also available on the market. The current cheapest offer is €16.80 per pack. However, if you look closely, you will notice that the cheap package only contains 60 capsules with 200 mg lipoic acid each. I.e. for 16,80 € you get 12 grams of (artificial!) lipoic acid. Converted, the price per gram of lipoic acid in the “cheap offer” is therefore 1.40 €. In addition, this is inferior artificial lipoic acid, which is sold here in reality significantly more expensive than the high-quality agent of Viptamin.
Note: Also with alpha lipoic acid applies: Who buys cheap, buys twice.

Now the natural Buy Alpha Lipoic Acid by Viptamin!

Chemical structure

Alpha lipoic acid contains 2 sulfur atoms that can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. In addition to its antioxidant properties, alpha lipoic acid is a co-factor for several essential enzymes. There are two optical isomers of alpha lipoic acid that have different properties:

R- Alpha lipoic acid
S- alpha lipoic acid

The term “optical isomers” refers to one of the main differences between the two forms: they direct polarized light in opposite directions. Chemically, they are identical and can only be separated with difficulty. But such molecules are mirror images of each other, like the right and left hands of a pair of gloves.
When alpha lipoic acid is made in the lab, the result is a 50/50 mix of the R and S forms. However, in living systems, optical isomers usually occur in only one form.

Why R-alpha lipoic acid is better than S-alpha lipoic acid

Most (less expensive) alpha lipoic acid supplements consist of a small amount of R(+) alpha lipoic acid (the natural, endogenous form) and often over 90% S(-) alpha lipoic acid (the synthetic isomer). The difference between the two alpha lipoic acid forms is their three-dimensional structure:

From the customer’s point of view, a dietary supplement containing pure endogenous R-alpha lipoic acid is therefore preferable to a dietary supplement containing a 1:1 mixture of natural and synthetic alpha lipoic acid.

However, manufacturers and distributors often prefer the L-form because the manufacturing cost of pure R(+) alpha lipoic acid is 11 times higher than the manufacturing cost of a 50-50 mixture of R- and S-form.
