Optimal Supplement Protocol for Dental & Bone Health ๐ฆท๐ช
A strong supplement strategy can support tooth remineralization, gum health, and bone strength, especially for elderly individuals who are at higher risk of enamel loss, cavities, and osteoporosis. Below is a biohacker-approved protocol with key supplements, dosages, and benefits. 1. Core Minerals for Enamel & Bone Strength โ Calcium (Hydroxyapatite or Citrate) โ 500โ1,000 mg/day๐น…
Teeth Remineralization Methods: CPP-ACP Cream vs. Fluoride (F)
Tooth remineralization is a critical process for repairing early-stage decay, strengthening enamel, and preventing cavities. Two of the most well-researched remineralization agents are Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) and Fluoride (F). Both have unique mechanisms and benefits, making them essential tools in dental health. 1. Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) Cream ๐ฌ How It Works:CPP-ACP…
Ketogenic Diet Prevents Brain Aging
“Importantly, we find that administering ketones, which can fuel neurons while bypassing insulin resistance, reverses brain aging effects. However, this intervention is only effective when provided early enough for neurons to remain viable.ย “ “Consistent with these results, an interventional study of 101 participants shows that ketones exhibit robust effects in restabilizing brain networks, maximized from…
Mitochondrial Health and Antibiotics
Antibiotics are lifesaving medications, but their impact on mitochondrial health is a growing area of concern. Since mitochondria evolved from ancient bacteria (endosymbiotic theory), some antibiotics unintentionally target mitochondrial function, leading to energy deficits, oxidative stress, and long-term metabolic consequences. How Antibiotics Affect Mitochondria 1. Mitochondrial Protein Synthesis Inhibition 2. Increased Oxidative Stress 3. Mitochondrial…

The Devil is in the Details? Association of meat consumption with the risk of gastrointestinal cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane library databases were searched systematically for eligible studies that investigated the relation between meat consumption and the risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC),…
The sulfur microbial diet and cancer risk
The sulfur microbial diet is associated with increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer precursors Background & Aims:Diet may contribute to the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) before age 50 (early-onset CRC). Microbial metabolism of dietary sulfur produces hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gastrointestinal carcinogen that cannot be easily measured at scale. As a result, evidence…
Some Intentionally Bad Diets Used in Animal Studies to Induce Disease
Scientists use intentionally unhealthy diets in laboratory animals to study obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gut disorders, neurodegeneration, and other health conditions. These diets help researchers understand disease mechanisms and test potential treatments. ๐ฌ Common Experimental Diets Used to Induce Disease in Animals Diet Name Purpose (Induced Disease/Condition) Key Features Example Study Models High-Fat Diet (HFD)…
๐ฟ Sulfur Microbial Diet: What It Is and How It Affects Your Health
The Sulfur Microbial Diet refers to the way certain gut bacteria metabolize sulfur-containing foods, impacting gut health, inflammation, and overall well-being. Some sulfur-metabolizing bacteria produce beneficial compounds, while others generate harmful byproducts like hydrogen sulfide (HโS), which can contribute to digestive disorders and inflammation. ๐งช How Sulfur is Processed in the Gut1๏ธโฃ Dietary Sulfur Sources…
