Mecanismo de Acción de la Vitamina A Precursores de vitamina A Betacaroteno Mucosa intestinal Retinol Vitamina A How does vitamin A function to transmit its "message?" Vitamin A functions as a hormone inside of target cells. This is accomplished following the metabolic conversion of beta-carotene and retinol to retinoic acid. Once formed, retinoic acid binds to specific nuclear receptors, which regulate the expression of vitamin A-respsonsive genes in proportion to the concentration of retinoic acid. In general, the genes that fall under the control of vitamin A's control are genes associated with differentiation, that is the "maturing" of cells to their functional phenotype. The major tissue targets of vitamin A action are the epithelial tissues of the eyes, skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, and cells of the immune system. Note: this model for signaling is similar to that for steroid hormones, vitamin D and thyroid hormones.

Ácidos Grasos Esenciales Poliinsaturados Ácido linoleico 6 (LA) Ácido linolénico 3 (ALA) Ácido Araquidónico (AA) Ácido Eicosapentaenoico (EPA) How do essential fatty acids function in the body? There are two known mechanisms of action for these interesting nutrients. Research in the past decade has elucidated a "hormone-like" mechanism for fatty acid signaling that is very similar (in kind) to that for vitamin A. In this mode of action, fatty acids either undergo metabolism to more active forms or they directly interact with specific nuclear receptors. In proportion to their concentration within target cells, this results in regulation of fatty acid-responsive gene expression. The primary targets of fatty acids signaling via this mechanism are the liver and intestine. In general, the genes that are regulated by fatty acids function in metabolic pathways related to energy production. The other mechanism by which essential fatty acids function involves a general structural role in maintaining normal membrane fluidity. In this capacity, they contribute to the optimum function of tissues throughout the body, most notably in the brain, eyes, skin and cell of the immune system. Ácido Docosahexaenoico (DHA)

ÁCIDOS GRASOS OMEGA 3 Reduce el riesgo de sufrir de enfermedades cardiovasculares Permite regular la presión arterial Disminuye los niveles de TG y colesterol Disminuye la agregación plaquetaria What does the literature show? Omega 3 fatty acids may influence several factors that modify the risk or severity of CHD, including decreasing platelet aggregation, reducing levels of lipids in the blood, and reducing blood pressure. In addition, n-3 fatty acids may influence the progress of established heart disease by modifying the risk of cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms) Epidemiological studies generally support the concept that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to die of CHD than those who rarely or never eat it. In general, these studies have shown an association between consumption of two to three fish meals per week (20-50 gm of fish per day) and lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. In one study of 1200 subjects, the beneficial effects were greatest for those subjects in the highest quintile of n-3 fatty acid intake (664 mg/day). This relationship has been observed in both the general population and in patients with a previous history of heart attacks. Dyerberg . Bang HO.

Children over 12 years of age may consume this product. Suggested use is the same as that for adults. Although research has shown benefits of including omega-3 fatty acids in the diet of pregnant/nursing women, Nutrilite recommends that pregnant/nursing women consult with their physician before consuming this product. Nutrilite does not recommend consumption of this product by persons on blood thinning medications without consulting their physician, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Four grams of EPA or greater per day have been found to cause increased bleeding times.2 EPA and DHA appear to have inhibitory effects on platelet function and prolong bleeding time, somewhat similar to aspirin.
