Supplement question - Pineal gland Calcification

[Missy0202]

Hello all. This alert from Top Probiotics came into my inbox. I wondered if anyone had any comments regarding the following supplement?

Thanks for sharing! How do they test for this?Can you take this with Parkinson's medication?

[Missy0202 in reply to Smittybear7]

I am not sure...... I was putting it out there for anyone with more experience

[Smittybear7 in reply to Missy0202]

Thanks Hopefully someone will have an answer!

rhodiola rosea can interact with some medications so check that before taking it. Not sure about the rest

[park_bear]

They do not actually give any references for their claim that their product treats Parkinson's. I would stay away.

The pineal gland is a unique organ that synthesizes melatonin as the signaling molecule of natural photoperiodic environment and as a potent neuronal protective antioxidant. An intact and functional pineal gland is necessary for preserving optimal human health. Unfortunately, this gland has the highest calcification rate among all organs and tissues of the human body. Pineal calcification jeopardizes melatonin’s synthetic capacity and is associated with a variety of neuronal diseases. In the current review, we summarized the potential mechanisms of how this process may occur under pathological conditions or during aging. We hypothesized that pineal calcification is an active process and resembles in some respects of bone formation. The mesenchymal stem cells and melatonin participate in this process. Finally, we suggest that preservation of pineal health can be achieved by retarding its premature calcification or even rejuvenating the calcified gland.

The similar results were observed in the aged human pineal gland. In addition, the high level of fluoride in the human pineal gland is positively related to its calcium accumulation of the gland [291]. Thus, decrease in environmental fluoride pollution may be helpful in delaying or avoiding premature pineal calcification. It was hypothesized that the lack of calcium salt crystallization inhibitors, such as pyrophosphate and phytate, would favor calcification .

Based on these results, we speculated that a more suitable way to preserve a healthy and functional pineal gland is either to retard its calcification or to recover the functions of the calcified gland. As mentioned, several pathological conditions might promote the premature pineal calcification. However, the environmental biohazards may also contribute to its development. One of them is fluoride. It was reported that the pineal gland in goosander concentrates fluoride which is a water pollutant [290]. The level of fluoride in the pineal gland of goosander was 5-fold higher than that it in the brain of the animal. The similar results were observed in the aged human pineal gland. In addition, the high level of fluoride in the human pineal gland is positively related to its calcium accumulation of the gland [291]. Thus, decrease in environmental fluoride pollution may be helpful in delaying or avoiding premature pineal calcification. It was hypothesized that the lack of calcium salt crystallization inhibitors, such as pyrophosphate and phytate, would favor calcification [292]. Studies indicated that the phytate content in brains of healthy animals was 10-fold higher than that in other tissues [293,294]. Increases in the availability of calcium salt crystallization inhibitors would tend to protect against pathological pineal calcification.

So interesting Boscoejean and thanks so much for taking the time to explain!

Vitamin K2 MK-7 and the Activation of Osteocalcin and MGP

Taking a daily vitamin K2 MK-7 supplement is an action people can take to prevent arterial calcification. K2 has even been shown to reverse existing calcification and restore flexibility and elasticity to vessels. K2 regulates calcium in the body.

[Smittybear7 in reply to Boscoejean]

How much K2 daily?

[Boscoejean in reply to Smittybear7]

Take a vitamin K2 supplement: Vitamin K2 (MK-4 & MK-7) helps to carry calcium out of soft tissues and may decalcify the pineal gland. It works alongside vitamin D3 and vitamin A (retinol). Take 600mcg per day.

[Smittybear7 in reply to Boscoejean]

How much d3 and vitamin a? Do you take them separately or are they part of a multivitamin? I take a dropper full of D3 (10,000 Monday through Friday. K2 and d3 are in a supplement I take for osteoporosis. I. Probably need to take a little more of the k2.Thanks!

[Boscoejean in reply to Smittybear7]

You probably should not go by the amount of D3 I take. From what I have read you could take up to 5000 IU of D3 if it is always taken with K2.

It sounds like with vitamin A it should be a minimal amount like maybe what would be in a multivitamin
