About Supplements in the US

US supplements are poorly standardized, often contaminated, usually not evidence based, and unregulated. Herbs and other supplements are not required to meet standards of safety, efficacy, and consistency, and their use has important implications for clinical care. The continuing availability of such products in the United States results in large part from the 1994 Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act, which created a protective new category for the approximately 20,000 vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other agents sold as supplements before October 1994. Spurred by supplement industry lobbying, the act protects supplements from government scrutiny and mandates that the US Food and Drug Administration prove harm before distribution of a product can be regulated.

Which brands are good?

I’m always stumped as to which brands of supplements to select. There are so many, and are they good? I never know. So I searched for “multivitamins” and combined a list from what I consider good sources, and those are listed below. Others’ lists were not in any way identical, so I left those out. The same brands kept popping up, and these are listed below.

N-acetylcysteine

N-acetylcysteine (also known as NAC or acetylcysteine) is used to help break up mucus and is used by the body to build antioxidants. NAC is used to treat acetaminophen overdose. NAC is also marketed for its liver-protective properties and to support healthy immune functioning, and there is evidence it can help prevent kidney or neurologic damage caused by some drugs. It has also been studied for several psychiatric disorders with limited success.

NAC can dissolve and loosen mucus caused by some respiratory disorders by reducing protein bonds (disulphide bonds to sulfhydryl bonds) which reduces mucus formation. This mechanism of action is thought to help reduce the thickness (viscosity) of lymph in lipedema patients so that it will move more freely within the body.

NAC also helps facilitate essential biological functions by bonding with two other amino acids–glutamine and glycine–to create glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that plays a key role in regulating numerous cellular activities and helps keep the immune system in check. Glutathione helps neutralize free radicals that damage cells and tissues at the molecular level.

Only minute amounts of NAC are found in food; it is derived from the amino acid L-cysteine. Cysteine is both naturally produced in the body and obtained from animal-based and plant-based foods. These foods are excellent food sources of the amino acid: poultry, eggs, dairy, red peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, oats, and wheat germ.

Side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, fatigue, eye irritation, and skin rash. Less common side effects include asthma attack, anaphylactic shock, low blood pressure and headache (due to vasodilation). For those patients with mast cell activation syndrome, it should be noted that NAC is a diamine oxidase inhibitor.

Supports mitochondrial health.

Do not take NAC if you are taking nitroglycerin; NAC can further reduce blood pressure and cause severe headaches. NAC can slow blood clotting and should be avoided in people with bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia or Von Willebrand disease. NAC should be stopped at least two weeks prior to any elective surgery. Caution should be exercised in people with kidney disease; metabolized NAC is excreted via the kidneys and has been known to cause kidney stones in rare cases–even in people without kidney disease. Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives, difficult breathing, or swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Recommended by Dr. Karen Herbst at 500 mg to 600 mg once or twice daily.

Nattokinase

Nattokinase is a natural enzyme extracted from natto, a popular Japanese breakfast dish made from fermented soybeans. Natto has long been used in folk medicine to treat cardiovascular diseases, and nattokinase is believed to possess the same properties. It is a proteolytic enzyme whose principle effect is the degradation of fibrin; it also upregulates the body’s natural mechanism that guards against excess fibrin formation.

In alternative medicine, it is believed to benefit people with heart and vascular diseases, in part by breaking down blood clots that can impede circulation. Among the conditions nattokinase is purported to prevent or treat are: angina, atherosclerosis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), hemorrhoids, high blood pressure, heart attack, peripheral artery disease (PAD), stroke, and varicose veins.

Because nattokinase can influence blood circulation and chemistry, it should be used with caution in certain groups, namely:

People with bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, in whom nattokinase may make symptoms worse
People who take blood thinners, including warfarin, in whom nattokinase may promote bleeding and easy bruising
People with low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, in whom nattokinase may cause lightheadedness, headaches, dizziness, and fainting
People on antihypertensive drugs, like ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers, in whom nattokinase may intensify the drug’s effect, triggering hypotension

Nattokinase should be stopped at least two weeks prior to a scheduled surgery to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding.

Why do people take nattokinase?
There’s some early evidence that nattokinase may have benefits for heart and artery health. One study shows that a nattokinase supplement lowers the risk of blood clots after long plane flights. It may help reduce narrowing of the arteries.

Other studies show that nattokinase may help lower blood pressure. However, we need more research to see if it is effective.

Optimal doses of nattokinase have not been set for any condition. Quality and active ingredients in supplements may vary widely from maker to maker. This makes it very hard to set a standard dose. Ask your doctor for advice.

Researchers first found nattokinase in the Japanese food natto, made with fermented soybeans. It seems that the fermentation process makes nattokinase. You can’t get nattokinase from other soy foods.
Risks. If you have any blood clotting disorders, don’t take nattokinase supplements unless a doctor says it’s safe. You may need to stop taking nattokinase if you’re planning to have surgery.

Given the lack of evidence about its safety, doctors don’t recommend nattokinase for children or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Interactions. If you take any medications regularly, talk to your doctor before you start using nattokinase supplements. The supplements could interact with blood thinners and other drugs that reduce clotting, like aspirin and ibuprofen. They could cause excess bleeding and bruising.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does regulate dietary supplements; however, it regulates them under a different set of regulations than foods and drugs. It is up to the manufacturers to assure safety and accurate labeling.

Recommended by Dr. Karen Herbst, 2000 units daily on an empty stomach.

Potassium

A WARNING ABOUT POTASSIUM SUPPLEMENTATION: It’s extremely important to ensure that your blood potassium level remains between 3.5 to 5 mmol/L. Unlike sodium and chloride, potassium’s ideal level is in a very small range, and the heart’s function is controlled primarily by potassium. For potassium levels under 3.5 or over 5, dangerous arrhythmias can occur, so please be very cautious when using these supplements.

Pycnogenol

Pinus pinaster is a type of pine tree native to the Mediterranean; these trees are commonly called maritime or cluster pines. The bark of maritime pines is sold under a variety of names: flavangenol, oligopin, and pycnogenol. The most notable nutrients in pine bark extract are the antioxidants procyanidins, catechins, and phenolic acids. These compounds are believed to be what makes pine bark useful as an herbal supplement, giving it antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Maritime pine trees that grow in southwest France are used to make pycnogenol, the trademarked name for a specific maritime pine bark extract. Pycnogenol is an antioxidant and a bioflavonoid. Its antioxidant properties protect against damage caused by free radicals, while its bioflavonoid properties reduce capillary leakage, perivascular inflammation, and subcutaneous swelling, helping to reduce leg pain and heaviness in those with chronic venous insufficiency. It is also used to decrease symptoms of asthma and to improve some symptoms of knee osteoarthritis.

“The complex diosmin + hesperidin (90% diosmin and 10% other flavonoids expressed as hesperidin) has also been widely studied; it appears to be less powerful and effective than Venoruton® (oxerutins) and pycnogenol in patients with chronic venous insufficiency; it is definitely less potent than pycnogenol alone and needs a dosage some 10 times higher than pycnogenol.”

— From the research paper Management of varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency in a comparative registry with nine venoactive products in comparison with stockings

Pine bark is considered safe when used in recommended amounts. Some may have sensitivities to pine bark, including older adults, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and those who are immunosuppressed; the use of pine bark extract should be avoided in these groups. Medications for blood clotting, diabetes, and immunosuppressants may interact with pine bark.

Recommended by Dr. Karen Herbst at 50-360 mg daily, taken all at once or in divided doses.

Quercetin

Quercetin is a flavonoid that supports cardiovascular health, helps regulate blood pressure, and protects against stress by suppressing the release of cortisol in the body

Quercetin is naturally present in many foods and herbs, including: apples, berries, black tea, broccoli, buckwheat tea, grapes, Ginkgo biloba, green tea, peppers, red onions and red wine. However, taking a quercetin supplement would work better for treatment of allergies because these foods contain significantly lower levels of the flavonoid.

Quercetin is generally safe for most people. It may cause headaches and tingling in the arms and legs of some people. Very high doses, especially when taken long-term, may cause kidney damage. Contraindicated in those with kidney stones.

Rutin (Rutoside)

Rutin, also called rutoside, is a citrus bioflavonoid (plant pigment) that is found in certain fruits and vegetables, including apples (with skin), buckwheat, most citrus, figs, and both black and green tea. It is recognized for its cytoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and helps your body produce collagen and use vitamin C.

Some believe that rutin can help strengthen and increase the flexibility of blood vessels and use it for varicose veins, internal bleeding, hemorrhoids, and to prevent strokes due to broken veins or arteries (hemorrhagic strokes). Rutin is also used to prevent a side effect of cancer treatment called mucositis, a painful condition marked by swelling and ulcer formation in the mouth or lining of the digestive tract. In combination with the proteins trypsin and bromelain, rutin is also used for osteoarthritis.

Rutin supplements are possibly safe when taken in doses up to 600 mg daily for up to 12 weeks. Side effects might include headache, flushing, rashes, stomach upset, dizziness, dry mouth, tiredness, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation. Rutin can also be consumed with rutin-dense recipes like buckwheat noodle salad, oven-roasted asparagus, or apple, fig, and Brussels sprouts salad.

Rutin may interfere with blood sugar control and might reduce blood sugar in some people; taking it along with diabetes medications might cause blood sugar to drop too low. Monitor blood sugar closely and stop using rutin at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery. Rutin should be avoided if you have been prescribed warfarin, a blood thinner, as it may reduce the medication’s anticoagulant (blood thinning) effect.

As there is not enough data on the safety of rutin during pregnancy and lactation, pregnant and nursing individuals should not take rutin. Also, do not give children rutin supplements without discussing their use with a healthcare provider.

Recommended by Dr. Karen Herbst at 500 mg by mouth twice daily.

Spirulina

Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that contains a number of nutrients, including B vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, copper, iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Spirulina contains antioxidants, minerals, and chlorophyll. It also contains a plant-based protein called phycocyanin – the a plant pigment that gives spirulina its blue-green color – which has been found to not only reduce inflammation in the body but also block tumor growth and kill cancer cells. Spirulina also contains zeaxanthin, a plant pigment that may reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related vision loss.

Spirulina has been used in a number of health conditions, including fatigue, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and viral infections. Purported spirulina benefits also include weight loss, increased energy, and stimulation of the immune system. Animal and test tube studies suggest that spirulina may protect against allergic reactions by stopping the release of histamines.

Although few adverse effects are associated with the use of spirulina, consuming spirulina may cause headaches, allergic reactions, fatigue, dizziness, stomach upset, increased gas, muscle pain, sweating, swelling, and insomnia. People with allergies to seafood, seaweed, and other sea vegetables should avoid spirulina. Spirulina may not be appropriate in thyroid conditions, autoimmune disorders, gout, kidney stones, or phenylketonuria (PKU, decreased metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine).

Spirulina harvested in the wild may be contaminated with heavy metals and bacteria, as it can also absorb heavy metals from the water where it is grown. In high amounts, some of these toxins may cause liver damage. Spirulina is available in pill or powder form, or as flakes or juices. Most of the spirulina consumed in the United States is grown in a laboratory. There are many different spirulina species, only some of which are identified on labels of commercially-available products. Spirulina maxima (cultivated in Mexico) and Spirulina platensis (cultivated in California) are the most popular. Spirulina has a bitter taste, and it’s often mixed with yogurts, juices, and smoothies to improve its flavor.

Because spirulina can help reduce blood clotting, it may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding in people with certain bleeding conditions. Spirulina might also affect blood sugar levels. The B12 content in spirulina is not well-absorbed by the human body; if you have a B12 deficiency (common in people with plant-based diets), you should make sure you’re supplementing from another source. Spirulina might interfere with drugs given to suppress the immune system, including: adalimumab [HUMIRA], azathioprine [IMURAN], cyclosporine [NEORAL], etanercept [ENBREL], infliximab [REMICADE], leflunomide [ARAVA], methotrexate, or mycophenolate [CELLCEPT].

Thiazolidinediones (also called glitazones) are a class of medicines that may be used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. They are a type of oral hypoglycemic (a medicine that lowers blood glucose levels). They bind to a receptor called the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma in adipocytes (fat cells) and promote maturation of fat cells and deposition of fat into peripheral tissues. Thiazolidnediones increase subcutaneous adipose tissue and should be avoided in people with lipedema.
