Bioconcepts Glucosamine 1000mg1000mg Pure Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCLContains the finest ingredientsHelps maintain healthy joints with good flexibility and mobilityImproves joint pain caused by injuries, accidents and general wear and tearWhat is Glucosamine?Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, more info >> a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Unfortunately, natural production of glucosamine slows significantly with age so from as early as your mid 20s, glucosamine supplementation can be necessary to help maintain healthy joints and to improve joint flexibility and mobility.Is Glucosamine right for me?Anyone from their mid 20s onwards who is keen on maintaining healthy joints with good flexibility and mobility should consider a Glucosamine supplement as part of their daily nutrient intake.Younger people can use Glucosamine from a maintenance perspective to help delay the onset of arthritis and continue to enjoy sporting activities.Anyone over the age of 30 should take Glucosamine to help improve joint pain caused by injuries, accidents and most importantly general wear and tear and to significantly improve the painful and debilitating loss in movement caused by the onset of arthritis.Why choose Bioconcepts vitamins & supplementsBioconcepts is a brand you can trust.

In osteoarthritis, cartilage -- the rubbery material that cushions joints -- becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration.Since the body's natural glucosamine is used to make and repair joint cartilage, taking glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is thought to help repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body's supply of glucosamine.There is promising evidence that glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. For example, a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine examined people with osteoarthritis over three years. Researchers assessed pain and structural improvements seen on x-ray. They gave 202 people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulphate a day or a placebo.At the end of the study, researchers found that glucosamine slowed the progression of knee osteoarthritis compared to the placebo. People in the glucosamine group had a significant reduction in pain and stiffness. On x-ray, there was no average change or narrowing of joint spaces in the knees (a sign of deterioration) of the glucosamine group. In contrast, joint spaces of participants taking the placebo narrowed over the three years.Study 2 What type of Glucosamine is best?Glucosamine sulphate, as used in the clinical study outlined below is the type used in all Bioconcepts Glucosamine products as it is the most widely researched and studied format with the most evidence to support its performance in improving osteoarthritis symptoms.Importantly, a report from the Arthritis Research Campaign statesDespite some mixed results, the majority of trials that have evaluated the effectiveness of glucosamine sulphate demonstrated significant clinical benefits when compared to placebo or NSAIDs. Evidence from trials on glucosamine hydrochloride is scarce and much less convincing. The medication, in both sulphate and hydrochloride preparations, appears to be safe with only mild and infrequent adverse effects.Studies also show the longer term benefits of taking Glucosamine vs other painkillers.Effectiveness of Glucosamine Sulphate Vs. IbuprofenFigure1 Although results are seen faster with NSAIDs, the benefits typically do not last as long, and other serious side effects such as long term joint damage are possible. Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown to reduce joint pain as well as increase joint space as shown on x-rays.Effectiveness of Various Treatments Figure 2. In this study, glucosamine (red) performed better than placebo (grey), NSAID alone (blue), or NSAID plus glucosamine (green). Results were monitored after discontinuing the treatment showing the glucosamine patients maintained some of the benefits whereas in the NSAID group (blue) pain returned at a faster rate. Current recommendations forNews and FeaturesThe Daily Mail, Heath Article Glucosamine sulphate for painful jointsOne of the key building blocks of the structures which form the framework for collagen to model onto is glucosamine, and has been hailed in recent years as a valuable supplement for anyone who may be suffering with joint problems and general stiffness.Glucosamine, a natural sugar, is believed to help swelling, inflammation, osteoarthritis, slipped discs and sciatica by maintaining the viscosity of joints, stimulating the repair of torn or worn cartilages, and inhibiting the enzymes that may break cartilage down.It also appears to be beneficial in treating uveitis, a disease in which the iris and focussing muscles of the eye become inflamed. Research has demonstrated that it can be effective in relieving pain and increasing the range of motion among sufferers with osteoarthritis of the knee, and other research has even claimed its effectiveness as being equivalent to a standard dose of Ibuprofen.Glucosamine seems to be most effective using a larger dose initially, and then reducing it slowly to a maintenance dose once the beneficial effects have started to appear. Diabetics should be aware that this food supplement can upset sensitive sugar balances.Read the full story HERE.How to improve joint healthTip 1 Eat at least 5 different fruit and vegetables a day & oily fish as they may help maintain healthy cartilage.Tip 2 To maintain good hydration and a flow of nutrients to the joints, drink 6-8 large glasses of water a day.Tip 3 Excess weight puts your joints under extra stress.

Cod Liver Oil Soft Gels 1000mg - 90 Tablets

Cod Liver Oil Soft Gels 1000mg- A Outstanding multi-purpose supplementHelps to alleviate depression Helps alleviate symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis Maintains joint health Prevents/alleviates symptoms of osteoporosis Helps maintain a healthy heart and circulation Helps maintain healthy bones, skin, hair and nails What is Cod Liver Oil?Cod liver oil contains more vitamin A and more vitamin D per unit more info >> weight than any other common food. One hundred grams of regular cod liver oil provides 100,000 IU of vitamin A, almost three times more than beef liver, the next richest source; and 10,000 IU vitamin D, almost four times more than lard, the next richest source. Of course, cod liver oil is only consumed in small amounts, but even a tablespoon (about 15 grams) provides well over the recommended daily allowance for both nutrients.In addition, cod liver oil contains 7 percent each of the elongated omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

So it's no surprise that in numerous studies cod liver oil has proven to be a powerhouse in fighting disease.Is Cod Liver Oil right for me?There is hardly a disease in the books that does not respond well to treatment that includes cod liver oil, and not just infectious diseases but also chronic modern diseases like heart disease and cancer. Cod liver oil provides vitamin D that helps build strong bones in children and helps prevent osteoporosis in adults. The fatty acids in cod liver oil are also very important for the development of the brain and nervous system. 'If you want to prevent learning disabilities in your children,' said David Horrobin, distinguished medical and biochemical researcher, 'feed them cod liver oil.'Scientists have also discovered that cod liver oil can repair arthritic joints as well as lubricating healthy ones.And they believe supplements could help thousands of patients waiting in agony for hip and knee replacements by beginning a reversal of the degenerative process.Studies show that Omega 3 fatty acids can slow down or remove the activities of the enzymes that degrade cartilage in arthritis and also keep inflammation down to a lower level.Bioconcepts Hi-strength Cod Liver Oil contains 1000mg of pure Icelandic Cod Liver Oil so you only need to take one capsule per day.Why choose Bioconcepts vitamins & supplementsBioconcepts is a brand you can trust.

Studies show it can protect the cartilage cells which facilitate joint movement. Researchers claim the rosehips - one of nature's richest sources of vitamin C - also improve activity levels by damping down an over-active immune system.Researchers from the department of human nutrition and health in Basle, Switzerland, measured the effects of different doses on human cartilage cells. They found Rosehips switched off genes responsible for producing proteins and enzymes which have been implicated in inflammatory joint destruction. It also switched on genes that help produce collagen and cartilage, essential components of a healthy joint.The findings were announced at the Osteoarthritis Research Society's International World Congress in Rome. One in two people of 50 and over suffers from osteoarthritis, particularly in the knees.BBC News Rose-hip 'remedy' for arthritis Rose-hips could offer a cheap and effective way of treating debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, research from Germany and Denmark has suggested.

Sulphur is also required for the formation of many proteins within the body, including muscles, hair and skin and is a vital component of bones, teeth and collagen. Why take MSM?MSM has been used in connection with Osteoarthritis. About osteoarthritisOsteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease of the joints, especially the weight-bearing joints that develops when the linings of joints degenerate, leading to lipping and spurring of bone, pain, and decreased mobility and function.OA is a universal consequence of ageing among animals with a bony skeleton. Many factors contribute to the development of OA; the disease is primarily associated with ageing and injury and was once called 'wear-and-tear' arthritis.What are the symptoms?The onset of OA is gradual and most often affects the hips, knees, fingers, and spine, although other joints also may be involved. Pain is the main symptom, which usually worsens with exercise and is relieved by rest. Morning stiffness is also common and diminishes with movement. As OA progresses, joint motion is lost, and tenderness and grating sensations may develop. OA of the spine may lead to shooting pains down the arms or legs.As MSM is an important structural component of cartilage, and plays a vital role in helping to maintain joint health, it remains that MSM is a joint element you cannot afford to live without.

Vitamin D is obtained from sun exposure, and is commonly known as the sunshine vitamin. Unfortunately due to lifestyle changes many do not reach the recommend levels of sun exposes, reducing the amount of Vitamin D in the body. Food and vitamin supplement are now commonly used to help the body to absorb and utilise the calcium it needs.About 99% of the calcium in the body is in the bones and teeth and 1% is in the blood, muscles, and other soft tissues (such as nerves, organs, etc.) Vitamin D is also important for hormone regulation, inflammation reduction, and the optimal functioning of the nervous system and the immune system.Why Take Vitamin D?If your body cannot produce enough vitamin D because of insufficient sunlight exposure you will need to obtain it from foods and perhaps supplements. Experts say that people with a high risk of vitamin D deficiency should consume 400 IU of vitamin D each day so that there is a good level of 25-hydroxy in the bloodstream.Take Vitamin D if you want to Aid absorption of calcium Aid bone and teeth structure Help regulate your immune system, cell growth and nerve transmission Help treat weak bones

Glucosamine is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, more info >> a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Unfortunately, natural production of glucosamine slows significantly with age so from as early as your mid 20s, glucosamine supplementation can be necessary to help maintain healthy joints and to improve joint flexibility and mobility.Is Glucosamine right for me?Anyone from their mid 20s onwards who is keen on maintaining healthy joints with good flexibility and mobility should consider a Glucosamine supplement as part of their daily nutrient intake.Younger people can use Glucosamine from a maintenance perspective to help delay the onset of arthritis and continue to enjoy sporting activities.

In osteoarthritis, cartilage -- the rubbery material that cushions joints -- becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration.Since the body's natural glucosamine is used to make and repair joint cartilage, taking glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is thought to help repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body's supply of glucosamine.There is promising evidence that glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. For example, a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine examined people with osteoarthritis over three years. Researchers assessed pain and structural improvements seen on x-ray. They gave 202 people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulphate a day or a placebo. At the end of the study, researchers found that glucosamine slowed the progression of knee osteoarthritis compared to the placebo. People in the glucosamine group had a significant reduction in pain and stiffness. On x-ray, there was no average change or narrowing of joint spaces in the knees (a sign of deterioration) of the glucosamine group. In contrast, joint spaces of participants taking the placebo narrowed over the three years.Study 2 What type of Glucosamine is best?Glucosamine sulphate, as used in the clinical study outlined below is the type used in all Bioconcepts Glucosamine products as it is the most widely researched and studied format with the most evidence to support its performance in improving osteoarthritis symptoms.Importantly, a report from the Arthritis Research Campaign statesDespite some mixed results, the majority of trials that have evaluated the effectiveness of glucosamine sulphate demonstrated significant clinical benefits when compared to placebo or NSAIDs. Evidence from trials on glucosamine hydrochloride is scarce and much less convincing. The medication, in both sulphate and hydrochloride preparations, appears to be safe with only mild and infrequent adverse effects.Studies also show the longer term benefits of taking Glucosamine vs other painkillers.Effectiveness of Glucosamine Sulphate Vs. IbuprofenFigure1 Although results are seen faster with NSAIDs, the benefits typically do not last as long, and other serious side effects such as long term joint damage are possible. Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown to reduce joint pain as well as increase joint space as shown on x-rays.Effectiveness of Various Treatments Figure 2. In this study, glucosamine (red) performed better than placebo (grey), NSAID alone (blue), or NSAID plus glucosamine (green). Results were monitored after discontinuing the treatment showing the glucosamine patients maintained some of the benefits whereas in the NSAID group (blue) pain returned at a faster rate. Current recommendations forNews and FeaturesThe Daily Mail, Heath Article Glucosamine sulphate for painful jointsOne of the key building blocks of the structures which form the framework for collagen to model onto is glucosamine, and has been hailed in recent years as a valuable supplement for anyone who may be suffering with joint problems and general stiffness.Glucosamine, a natural sugar, is believed to help swelling, inflammation, osteoarthritis, slipped discs and sciatica by maintaining the viscosity of joints, stimulating the repair of torn or worn cartilages, and inhibiting the enzymes that may break cartilage down.It also appears to be beneficial in treating uveitis, a disease in which the iris and focussing muscles of the eye become inflamed. Research has demonstrated that it can be effective in relieving pain and increasing the range of motion among sufferers with osteoarthritis of the knee, and other research has even claimed its effectiveness as being equivalent to a standard dose of Ibuprofen.Glucosamine seems to be most effective using a larger dose initially, and then reducing it slowly to a maintenance dose once the beneficial effects have started to appear. Diabetics should be aware that this food supplement can upset sensitive sugar balances.Read the full story HERE.How to improve joint healthTip 1 Eat at least 5 different fruit and vegetables a day & oily fish as they may help maintain healthy cartilage.

Why take Vitamin C & Rosehip?Rosehip is well known to have a high Vitamin C content level, and may have even more than citrus fruits. It is widely used by people to gain their Vitamin C intake. Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which are by-products that result when our bodies transform food into energy. The build up of these free radical by-products over time is largely responsible for the ageing process and can contribute to the development of various health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and a host of inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Antioxidants also help reduce the damage to the body caused by toxic chemicals and pollutants such as cigarette smoke. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it.

Studies show it can protect the cartilage cells which facilitate joint movement. Researchers claim the rosehips - one of nature's richest sources of vitamin C - also improve activity levels by damping down an over-active immune system.Researchers from the department of human nutrition and health in Basle, Switzerland, measured the effects of different doses on human cartilage cells. They found Rosehips switched off genes responsible for producing proteins and enzymes which have been implicated in inflammatory joint destruction. It also switched on genes that help produce collagen and cartilage, essential components of a healthy joint. The findings were announced at the Osteoarthritis Research Society's International World Congress in Rome. One in two people of 50 and over suffers from osteoarthritis, particularly in the knees. BBC News Rose-hip 'remedy' for arthritis Rose-hips could offer a cheap and effective way of treating debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, research from Germany and Denmark has suggested. Seventy-four sufferers, mostly females, took part in the six-month trial. Just under half took the rose-hip remedy while the others took a placebo. Both groups continued to take their usual medication. Activity among the first group improved by 20-25%, according to results presented at the annual Eular meeting. The number of joints causing pain or discomfort fell by 40%, but did not change for those treated with the dummy.I think we were all surprised to see such meaningful results, said Professor Stefan Willich from the Charite University Medical Centre in Berlin, who conducted the German arm of the study. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most difficult conditions I'm aware of.

Cod Liver Oil Soft Gels 1000mg Twin Pack - 2 x 90 Tablets

Cod Liver Oil Soft Gels 1000mg- A Outstanding multi-purpose supplementHelps to alleviate depression Helps alleviate symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis Maintains joint health Prevents/alleviates symptoms of osteoporosis Helps maintain a healthy heart and circulation Helps maintain healthy bones, skin, hair and nails What is Cod Liver Oil?Cod liver oil contains more vitamin A and more vitamin D per unit more info >> weight than any other common food. One hundred grams of regular cod liver oil provides 100,000 IU of vitamin A, almost three times more than beef liver, the next richest source; and 10,000 IU vitamin D, almost four times more than lard, the next richest source. Of course, cod liver oil is only consumed in small amounts, but even a tablespoon (about 15 grams) provides well over the recommended daily allowance for both nutrients.In addition, cod liver oil contains 7 percent each of the elongated omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA is the precursor of important prostaglandins, localized tissue hormones that help the body deal with inflammation; and DHA is extremely important for the development and function of the brain and nervous system. So it's no surprise that in numerous studies cod liver oil has proven to be a powerhouse in fighting disease.Is Cod Liver Oil right for me?There is hardly a disease in the books that does not respond well to treatment that includes cod liver oil, and not just infectious diseases but also chronic modern diseases like heart disease and cancer. Cod liver oil provides vitamin D that helps build strong bones in children and helps prevent osteoporosis in adults. The fatty acids in cod liver oil are also very important for the development of the brain and nervous system. If you want to prevent learning disabilities in your children, said David Horrobin, distinguished medical and biochemical researcher, feed them cod liver oil.Scientists have also discovered that cod liver oil can repair arthritic joints as well as lubricating healthy ones.And they believe supplements could help thousands of patients waiting in agony for hip and knee replacements by beginning a reversal of the degenerative process.Studies show that Omega 3 fatty acids can slow down or remove the activities of the enzymes that degrade cartilage in arthritis and also keep inflammation down to a lower level.Bioconcepts Hi-strength Cod Liver Oil contains 1000mg of pure Icelandic Cod Liver Oil so you only need to take one capsule per day.Why choose Bioconcepts vitamins & supplementsBioconcepts is a brand you can trust.

And they believe cod liver oil supplements could help thousands of patients waiting in agony for hip and knee replacements by beginning a reversal of the degenerative process.More than two million people in Britain have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis.The researchers, at Cardiff University, say there are scientific reasons for the long-held belief that cod liver oil is good for joint health. Professor Bruce Caterson, who presented his findings in London yesterday, said it was never too late to start repairing the damage caused by arthritis.'Cod liver oil can be very helpful and beneficial in arthritic diseases,' he said. 'We've been able to show that we can slow down or remove the activities of the enzymes that degrade cartilage in arthritis and also keep inflammation down to a lower level.The latest research shows the importance to joint health of essential fatty acids - called Omega-3 fatty acids - contained in cod liver oil and other fish oils. These are incorporated by the body into the cartilage cells damaged in arthritis sufferers. Cartilage is the protective material that covers bones around the joints to stop them grating.The scientists tested the effect of Omega-3 fatty acids on the cartilage from the discarded arthritic knees of patients who had had knee replacements. Some samples were treated with the substance for 24 hours, while others were not. A chemical was added to mimic an inflammatory response. When researchers looked at the untreated cartilage they found enzymes responsible for destroying it. But in the samples treated with Omega-3 fatty acids the enzymes had been 'switched off'. Fergus Logan, chief executive of the Arthritis Research Campaign, which partly funded the research, said 'These findings are extremely exciting and offer a scientific basis for why cod liver oil helps people with arthritis - and has done for many years.'

Garlic Soft Gels 2000mg Twin Pack - 90 Capsules

Bioconcepts Garlic 2000mg For a healthy heartReduces blood pressure Improves circulation Lowers cholesterol levels Improves immune system Advanced odourless formulationWhat is Garlic?Garlic has been used since time immemorial as a culinary spice and medicinal herb. Garlic has been cultivated in the Middle East for more than 5,000 years and has been an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. more info >> The bulb is used medicinally. Garlic contains an odourless sulphur compound called Alliin. Once the clove is crushed or cut, Alliin comes into contact with an enzyme called Alliinase, to form Allicin. Allicin is the chemical considered to be responsible for the beneficial effects of garlic. Is Garlic right for me?Bioconcepts very high strength Garlic is one of only a handful on the market that has managed to combine 2000mg of Garlic in an odour-free and socially acceptable capsule.Garlic has been used to treat the following conditions Atherosclerosis - hardening of arteries Colon cancer (reduces risk of stomach, oesophageal, and colon cancers) Common cold High blood pressure High cholesterol High triglycerideRecent Studies Most of the modern research on garlic has concentrated on its ability to lower cholesterol and blood pressure as well as offering protection against strokes and heart disease. For example, when the Journal of the Royal College of Physicians reviewed data on cholesterol in 1993, it found that after just four weeks there was a 12 per cent reduction in cholesterol levels in the research groups that had taken garlic.Scientists have also looked at the role garlic plays in helping prevent the formation of blood clots. A review of recent clinical trials, published in the Journal of Hypertension, showed that taking garlic tablets cut volunteers' blood pressure by between one and five per cent. These results led the report's authors to conclude that taking supplements could cut the incidence of stroke by anything from 30-40 per cent, while heart disease could be reduced by 20-25 percent.While garlic has gathered a reputation for helping to maintain a healthy heart, regular amounts of garlic seems to also help the body fight off infections. These antibacterial effects were first discovered in the early 19th century during an outbreak of infectious fever - English priests caught the fever but the French priests, who ate garlic every day, remained healthy. However, you don't need to suffer with a fever to benefit from garlic's health enhancing properties.Why choose Bioconcepts vitamins & supplementsBioconcepts is a brand you can trust.

The key is allicin, which is broken down into the foul-smelling sulphur compounds which taint breath. These compounds react with red blood cells and produce hydrogen sulphide which relaxes the blood vessels, and keeps blood flowing easily. The University of Alabama at Birmingham research appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. At low concentrations it plays a vital role in helping cells to communicate with each other. And within the blood vessels it stimulates the cells that form the lining to relax, causing the vessels to dilate. This, in turn, reduces blood pressure, allowing the blood to carry more oxygen to essential organs, and reducing pressure on the heart. The researchers also found that red blood cells exposed to minute amounts of juice extracted from supermarket garlic immediately began emitting hydrogen sulphide. Lead researcher Dr David Kraus said Our results suggest garlic in the diet is a very good thing. Certainly in areas where garlic consumption is high, such as the Mediterranean and the Far East, there is a low incidence of cardiovascular disease.Judy O'Sullivan, a cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said This interesting study suggests that garlic may provide some heart health benefits. Daily Mail, Health Article A daily dose of garlic can save your life by cutting blood pressure, say researchersGarlic may lower blood pressure just as effectively as drugs, according to researchers. Scientists looked at 11 international studies in which patients were given a daily garlic supplement in powdered form for between three and five months. They found significant blood pressure falls among participants - with the greatest drops among those who had higher blood pressure readings to begin with. In some cases, the effects were similar to those achieved with common anti-blood pressure drugs, such as beta blockers and ACE inhibitors, said Dr Karin Ried, of Adelaide University in South Australia.More than 16million Britons have high blood pressure and many more are thought to suffer from it without knowing. If the condition is not treated, it can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Doctors recommend that sufferers lower their blood pressure by cutting their intake of salt, losing weight and getting fit. Now the Australian research suggests that extra help is at hand in readily available over the counter garlic supplements.Dr Ried and her team, writing for the scientific journal BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, said the 600mg to 900mg dosage used in the studies was equivalent to 3.6mg to 5.4mg of garlic's active ingredient, allicin. A fresh clove of garlic contains 5mg to 9mg of allicin. *Saving based on per tablet cost correct online at www.hollandandbarrett.com when checked on 28/06/2011.

Inside your joints, cartilage experiences a constant process of breakdown and repair. But, to be suitably repaired, the building blocks of cartilage must be present and available. Therefore, by using glucosamine and chondroitin supplements, more of the building blocks needed for cartilage repair will be available.What is Glucosamine &Chondroitin sulphate?Glucosamine sulphate plays a part in the formation and repair of joint cartilage. It's an amino sugar that absorbs water and provides lubrication and shock absorption for the cartilage which covers the ends of bones in the joints. As we age, glucosamine levels decline and so cartilage loses some of its ability to absorb water.Chondroitin is a fibrous protein which actually helps to hold water in the cartilage, and is essential to the proper functioning of cartilage. Chondroitin sulphate helps give cartilage its elasticity.Why take Glucosamine & Chondroitin?Because the body makes chondroitin, the possibility of a dietary deficiency remains uncertain.
