Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its mem- bers, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council. Copyright © National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

Design and setting: A retrospective drug utilisation study was conducted on community pharmacy electronic dispensing records in South Africa recorded in 2013. Outcome measures: All products for ATC subgroup A11 were extracted and analysed. Results: A total of 164 233 vitamin products were dispensed to 84 805 patients (62.64% female patients). Males received on average 2.09 (SD = 2.63) vitamin products per year, compared to 1.84 (SD = 2.13) products for females. Ergocalciferol (A11CC01) was the most often dispensed (37.48% of all vitamin products), followed by plain Vitamin B-complex products (A11EA00) accounting for 32.77%. Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is only available on prescription (50 000 IU tablets or 50 000 IU/ml oily drops) in South Africa.

  • Guideline for Dietary Fibre Intake
    Guideline for dietary fibre intake Gezondheidsraad Health Council of the Netherlands To the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport Subject : Presentation of advisory report Guideline for dietary fibre intake Your reference:- Our reference : U 383/CS/cn/754-C Enclosures : 1 Date : March 21, 2006 Dear Minister, I hereby present an advisory report concerning the Guideline for Dietary Fibre Intake, which has been prepared, at the request of my predecessor Professor JGAJ Hautvast, by the Health Council's Committee on Dietary Fibre and reviewed by the Standing Committee on Nutrition and the Standing Committee on Medicine. I have today also presented this report to the Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality. This is the fourth in a series of advisory reports designed to revise the Dutch dietary ref- erence intakes (Nederlandse Voedingsnormen), which were adopted in 1992 by the former Food and Nutrition Council (Voedingsraad). Dietary fibre received very little attention in that report, however. The advisory report Guidelines for a Healthy Diet (Richtlijnen Goede Voeding), which was published by the Food and Nutrition Council in 1986 and is currently being revised, also included a very brief passage about dietary fibre. The attached advisory report is therefore the first thorough evaluation of the physiological effects of dietary fibre to have been undertaken in the Netherlands. The Committee has chosen not to set a dietary reference intake for fibre, but instead to issue a guideline. This decision is motivated by the fact that dietary fibre is the collective term for a group of substances with very wide-ranging physiological effects.

Chronic administration of high doses of oral L-Carnitine in patients with severely compromised renal function or in ESRD patients on dialysis may result in accumulation of the potentially toxic metabolites, trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), since these metabolites are normally excreted in the urine. Mecobalamin Should be given with caution in patients suffering from folate deficiency. The following warnings and precautions suggested with parent form – vitamin B12 The treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency can unmask the symptoms of polycythemia vera. Megaloblastic anemia is sometimes corrected by treatment with vitamin B12. But this can have very serious side effects. Don’t attempt vitamin B12 therapy without close supervision by healthcare provider. Do not take vitamin B12 if Leber’s disease, a hereditary eye disease.

  • Optimal Foods
    Optimal Foods 1. Almonds: high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, with 20% of calories coming from protein and dietary fiber. Nutrients include potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin E and an antioxidant flavonoid called amygdlin also known as laetrile. 2. Barley: Like oat bran it is high in beta-glucan fiber which helps to lower cholesterol. Nutrients include copper, magnesium, phosphorous and niacin. 3. Berries : The darker the berry the higher in anti-oxidants. Nutritionally they are an excellent source of flavonoids, especially anthocyanidins, vitamin C and both soluble and insoluble fiber. 4. Brussels Sprouts : Similar to broccoli, and a member of the cabbage family, it contains cancer fighting glucosinolates. Nutritionally it is an excellent source of vitamin C and K, the B vitamins, beta-carotene, potassium and dietary fiber. 5. Carrots: It contains the highest source of proviatamin A carotenes as well as vitamin K, biotin, vitamin C, B6, potassium, thiamine and fiber. 6. Dark Chocolate: It is rich in the flavonoids, similar to those found in berries and apples, that are more easily absorbed than in other foods. It also provides an amino acid called arginine that helps blood vessels to dilate hence regulating blood flow and helping to lower blood pressure. Choose high-quality semisweet dark chocolate with the highest cocoa content that appeals to your taste buds. 7. Dark leafy greens : Kale, arugula, spinach, mustard greens, chard, collards, etc: low calorie, anti-oxidant dense food with carotenes, vitamin C, folic acid, manganese, copper, vitamin E, copper, vitamin B6, potassium, calcium, iron and dietary fiber. Kale is a particularly excellent bioavailable source of calcium while spinach is not.

  • Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005
    Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Agriculture www.healthierus.gov/dietaryguidelines i MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARIES We are pleased to present the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This document is intended to be a primary source of dietary health information for policymakers, nutrition educators, and health providers. Based on the latest scientific evidence, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines provides information and advice for choosing a nutritious diet, maintaining a healthy weight, achieving adequate exercise, and “keeping foods safe” to avoid foodborne illness. This document is based on the recommendations put forward by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. The Committee was composed of scientific experts who were responsible for reviewing and analyzing the most current dietary and nutritional information and incorporating this into a scientific evidence-based report. We want to thank them and the other public and private professionals who assisted in developing this document for their hard work and dedication. The more we learn about nutrition and exercise, the more we recognize their importance in everyday life.
