I haven't posted for a long time because I now visit this site only occasionally. This is because I have had such a marked improvement, which I...
I've experienced the same thing. It's not only genetics that can interfere with the conversion.
I agree. As I've already said, while we can make MK-4, we don't appear to make enough. We need exogenous MK-4 and MK-7.
Humans do make MK-4 using the relatively newly described enzyme UBIAD1. Here is the Uniprot entry for the human enzyme. It is widely expressed in...
This would certainly help but may not be sufficient. Brightly coloured vegetables of all kinds are rich in beta carotene. Efficiency at...
Vit A and D bind to and activate nuclear receptors that in turn act as transcription factors - ie they bind to and regulate the expression of a...
Here is a very thorough analysis of the many defects of this particular study and of the limitations of nutritional epidemiological studies in...
Their own disclaimers. And as already noted, dietary assessment was by self-reported questionnaire - a notoriously unreliable method. So yet...
Sorry wrong spelling - look for cronometer
Use chronometer on your computer. You can enter any food or group of foods and it will give you a breakdown of the macro nutrients (as well as...
Just to warn people, if your glucose management/insulin sensitivity if faulty for whatever reason, you may have trouble achieving ketosis...
Thanks for posting this. You have inspired me to try a ketogenic diet again. I did give it a go several years ago and just couldn't stick to it....
I had to refresh my memory about what the 3 sets of numbers mean - ie as used by Shoemaker. You can see more about that here and here. So the...
I suspect that your doctor is referring to the common COMT variant rs4680 AKA V158M. Approximately 50% of the population is +/- for this variant...
uBiome turn-around can often be 2-3 weeks - certainly quicker than that.
Unfortunately there is no single ideal test for checking gut health. I agree that hydrogen and methane breath tests can be useful for detecting...
This varies greatly - it depends on the gene. In the case of GSTM1, the deletion mutant is very common, the frequency ranging from about 0.3 to...
Everyone has them to a greater or lesser extent. This implies
I've just caught up with this thread and read the article on Andrew Lloyd. I found it to be excellent - thanks @dave30th. I barely noticed the...
He says specifically that he is looking for whole genome or exome sequences, not 23andme.
