Nutrients perform their roles either directly or through interaction with other nutrients inside our body. The nature of interactions between nutrients can be synergistic, which brings about maximum benefit to the host, or antagonistic, i.e., one nutrient affects the uptake and availability of other nutrients in the body. These interactions need to...

... One study has shown a positive synergy between vitamin D and vitamin K, leading to significant improvements in both bone and cardiovascular health. [25] A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials has shown that vitamin D treatment is insufficient to prevent major cardiovascular events in terms of cardiovascular health. [26] This emphasizes the necessity of more research to fully comprehend the effects of vitamin D on cardiovascular health, including any potential synergistic effects when combined with other nutrients like vitamin K. ...
This scoping review examines the multifaceted phenomenon of frailty in the context of an aging global population. The exploration encompasses the definition and features of frailty, its diverse causes, and its impact on the quality of life for affected individuals. Focusing on lifestyle factors, including physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and stress management, the review highlights the potential of these modifiable elements in preventing and managing frailty. Key findings underscore the connected nature of physical, psychological, and social dimensions in frailty's development. For clinicians, personalized interventions involving exercise regimens, nutritional counseling, and stress management are recommended. Empowering people with the understanding that frailty is not an inevitable consequence of aging, the review calls for a collective commitment to awareness, prevention, and further study. By fostering a comprehensive and collaborative approach, we aim to enhance the well-being of aging individuals and contribute to a healthier and more resilient future.
... The body might benefit from several benefits due to the synergistic action of micronutrients. For example, it raises the bioavailability of nutrients; vitamin C and E work together to enhance absorption of each other, likewise, vitamin C promotes the body's absorption of iron [15]. In the context of micronutrients, the concept of dietary synergy heavily depends on bioavailability. ...
... Certain meal combinations that work well together strengthen the immune system and support good health. Zinc and vitamins C and D are the micronutrients that have demonstrated the immune system's synergistic assistance [15] Unintentional gastrointestinal side effects can occur when a vitamin is taken as a supplement in a concentrated or bolus form [16] however Although the exact relationship between vitamins B12 and C is yet uncertain, Interactions may possibly happen even while taking large dosages of vitamins B12 and C together. Since B12 ...
The aim of study: the current study investigated the effect of MSG and protective role of Vitamin B 12 on the Vitamin C and E concentration level in rats, material and method, the study included Rats were divided into five equal groups n=10, each group was further divided into two groups [A and B, n=5] and treated for 30 and 60 days, respectively. The 1st group received distilled water orally by gavage, the 2nd and 3rd group received MSG in a dose of 20, and 40 mg/kg body weight orally by gavage, respectively, the 4th and 5th groups received MSG and vitamin B12 in a dose of 20 or 40 mg MSG/kg in addition to 0.2 m vitamin B12/kg, respectively. The results: The findings found the Group V showed increased in Vitamin C concentration after 30 and 60 days (1.246±0.319, 1.335±0.341) respectively with significant differences with other groups same results reported in Vitamin E that showed Vitamin E concentration after 30 and 60 day (1.136±0.319, 1.109±0.019) respectively with significant differences at (p≤0.05) with other groups.
The functional potential of plants and plant-based components have been used in different cultures since time immemorial to promote milk production in women. Conditions like agalactia or insufficient production of breast milk due to various barriers intended to be a greater risk of weight loss for neonates and prompting for supplementation of infant formula. Multiple plants are traditionally used worldwide as galactagogues during the lactation period. This study aims to extract information on traditionally used galactagogue plants and compare their ethnopharmacological evidence with scientific evidence. This will help to understand the gaps in the ethnopharmacological and scientific data and thus provide future research information.Information on traditional and scientific studies was collected and analyzed on galactagogues. The ethnopharmacological data of the focused plant species were analyzed for part used, formulations, and region of its uses. All cultures traditionally used natural products as galactagogue from times immemorial, and due to scientific advances, these have also been seen as commercial products. However, because of the limited studies, it is of interest to standardize the doses, and composition of bioactive components and study the mechanism of action, its side effects, and interaction with food. This is a forward-looking research area that could be projected for manufacturing herbal formulations for lactating mothers.
