  • NRDC: Generally Recognized As Secret
    NRDC Report April 2014 Generally Recognized as Secret: Chemicals Added to Food in the United States Tom Neltner, J.D., Maricel Maffini, Ph.D. Natural Resources Defense Council In April 2014, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) released a report raising concerns about a loophole in the Food Additives Amendment of 1958 for substances designated by food manufacturers as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). The report identified 56 companies that appeared to market 275 chemicals for use in food based on undisclosed GRAS safety determinations. For each chemical we identified in this study, we did not find evidence that FDA had cleared them for use in food. The 1958 law exempted from the formal, extended FDA approval process common food ingredients like vinegar and vegetable oil whose use qualifies as GRAS. It may have appeared reasonable at the time, but that exemption has been stretched into a loophole that has swallowed the law. The exemption allows manufacturers to make safety determinations that the uses of their newest chemicals in food are safe without notifying the FDA. The agency’s attempts to limit these undisclosed GRAS determinations by asking industry to voluntarily inform the FDA about their chemicals are insufficient to ensure the safety of our food in today’s global marketplace with a complex food supply. Furthermore, no other developed country in the world has a system like GRAS to provide oversight of food ingredients. In Table 1 and 2 of the report, NRDC identified the 56 companies and the number of chemicals that each company appeared to market as GRAS without FDA clearance.

Research into single compounds of TMs, such as artemisinin from Artemisia annua L., has achieved great success; however, it has become evident that a TM prescription (which frequently contains various herbs or other components) has a synergistic effect in effecting a cure or reducing toxicity. Network pharmacology targets biological networks and analyzes the links among drugs, targets, and diseases in those networks. Comprehensive, systematic research into network pharmacology is consistent with the perspective of holisticity, which is a main characteristic of many TMs. By means of network pharmacology, research has demonstrated that many a TM show a synergistic effect by acting at different levels on multiple targets and pathways.

  • The Science Behind Our Formulas
    Brazen The Science Behind Our Formulas © Brazen® 2019 Brazen PMS Support We started with a formula that was effective for more than 75% of women. Then we made it better. Our PMS Support blend is based on one of the most widely prescribed traditional formulas for PMS. The base formula we chose is known for its anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects, as well as its ability to address the physical symptoms of PMS like fatigue, insomnia, breast pain, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and tension. We also wanted to make sure our formula was strong enough for even the worst PMS. In one study for PMDD, a severe disease with PMS-like symptoms, the base formula we settled on was effective for more than 75% of women, with 46.7% of women achieving remission according to the HAM-D depression rating scale. 81% of patients at the conclusion of the study no longer met the DSM-IV criteria for PMDD. That sounded like a great place to start, so we set about making our formula the best in the biz. Ingredients: Angelica Root, White Peony Root, Poria, Silk Tree Bark, Valerian Root, Siberian Milkwort Root, Bupleurum Root, Red Peony Root, Baikal Skullcap Root, Cyperus Rhizome, Bai- zhu Atractylodes Rhizome, Turmeric Tuber Root, Tree Peony Root, Mint, Licorice Root Brazen Cramp Support A tradition of formulas almost twice as effective for treating menstrual pain as pharmaceutical treatments, all without the significant adverse effects. Research shows traditional herbal medicine to be especially effective for common menstrual complaints. An industry leading Cochrane Systematic Review of 39 randomized control trials, including more than 3,400 women found that herbal formulas like ours were almost twice as effective for treating menstrual pain as pharmaceutical treatments like over the counter painkillers or birth control pills, all without significant adverse effects.

Horticulture Research (2021) 8:16 Horticulture Research https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-00450-6 www.nature.com/hortres ARTICLE Open Access Integration of full-length transcriptomics and targeted metabolomics to identify benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthetic genes in Corydalis yanhusuo Dingqiao Xu1,HanfengLin 2,YupingTang1,LuHuang1,JianXu2,SihuiNian3 and Yucheng Zhao 2 Abstract Corydalis yanhusuo W.T. Wang is a classic herb that is frequently used in traditional Chinese medicine and is efficacious in promoting blood circulation, enhancing energy, and relieving pain. Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are the main bioactive ingredients in Corydalis yanhusuo. However, few studies have investigated the BIA biosynthetic pathway in C. yanhusuo, and the biosynthetic pathway of species-specific chemicals such as tetrahydropalmatine remains unclear. We performed full-length transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to identify candidate genes that might be involved in BIA biosynthesis and identified a total of 101 full-length transcripts and 19 metabolites involved in the BIA biosynthetic pathway. Moreover, the contents of 19 representative BIAs in C. yanhusuo were quantified by classical targeted metabolomic approaches. Their accumulation in the tuber was consistent with the expression patterns of identified BIA biosynthetic genes in tubers and leaves, which reinforces the validity and reliability of the analyses. Full- length genes with similar expression or enrichment patterns were identified, and a complete BIA biosynthesis pathway fi 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; in C. yanhusuo was constructed according to these ndings. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a total of ten enzymes that may possess columbamine-O-methyltransferase activity, which is the final step for tetrahydropalmatine synthesis. Our results span the whole BIA biosynthetic pathway in C.
