Adult Acne Treatment Explains a New Upcoming Study that may Change the Acne Treatment Industry

Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 05, 2013

Products containing probiotics have become a recent trend in food, and healthcare industries, specifically in the digestive and skin care market. Recent news from CNN sheds light on an upcoming study by the California Institute of Technology that aims to further explore the associated health benefits of probiotics, and microbes. Probiotic Action spokesman Fernando Perez explains details of the study, and how it may change the skincare industry, and what it means for acne sufferers.

For centuries, cultures have used probiotic products like yogurt and kefir style beverages with the belief that the probiotics, (bacteria) and microbes in their food held extraordinary benefits. In the past few decades, western culture has capitalized on the strains of bacteria, microbes, and yeasts linked to improve intestinal, and digestive function by selling them in pill form. With the influx of probiotics in the marketplace, users and physicians alike have made many additional health claims to using probiotics, some, without proper research being done. As stated in Mazimanians interview, his study aims to further explore the benefits of existing probiotics, as well as a new human microbiome that may have additional health benefits that probiotics claim to have.

Although the article neglects to mention how these studies will affect the producers in probiotic marketplace, Fernando Perez of Probiotic Action shares industry insight how the study may affect acne treatment producers,

What is exciting about using probiotics for acne is that none of the existing studies on probiotics have determined any negative side effects, and researchers agree that the full health benefits have still not been discovered. As a natural acne remedy one can only make so many claims on the effectiveness, and health benefits of using a probiotic acne treatment, this study may allow us and other probiotic supplement producers the ability to sell products with an FDA seal and guarantee effectiveness, unlike other supplements and acne treatments whose products are not regulated.

Perez continued that if Mazimanians findings show increased health benefits, and new strains of effective probiotics the market price for natural acne remedies, and acne treatments could also see drastic changes, and increased competition.

Bariatric Surgeon Explains How Weight Loss Surgery Can Change Genetics

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2013

Obesity is an epidemic that is impacting approximately one-third of American lives, with genetics reportedly accounting for about half of these obesity cases in some ethnic groups. Now, research is saying that the opposite might be true, and this is good news for obese patients.

The Karolinska Institute in Sweden published a study in a prestigious Swedish journal that shows evidence of surgical weight loss resulting in actual genetic structure change and improved metabolism. Bariatric patients will still need to make lifestyle changes and alterations to their diets, but their actual genetics could potentially be changed for the better after bariatric surgery.

It is groundbreaking research that goes a step further in asserting that, not only does bariatric surgery change a persons physical composition when it comes to obesity, but it can also alter a persons genetic composition, states Dr. Amir Mehran, a Los Angeles bariatric surgeon and Medical Director at the La Peer Bariatric Center of Excellence.

Researchers in Sweden studied the epigenetics of the skeletal muscles of 14 participants. Researchers focused specifically on two genes (PGC-1alpha and PDK4) that control glucose and fat metabolism. They found the DNA of the obese women contained chemical markers that prevented these genes from functioning normally.

At the start of the study, each of the obese women had a body mass index of around 40, and weighed between 265 to 320 pounds. Six months after the surgery, they each had lost approximately 70 pounds.

After the weight loss, researchers took another look at the genes of the previously overweight women and found that they no longer displayed some of the chemical markers that were present before the surgery. The genes in question, which were involved in glucose and fat metabolism, have essentially been altered to a healthy state.

This is promising news for those who suffer from obesity, said Dr. Mehran. It provides evidence that you can possibly improve your bodys ability to burn fat and store sugars properly.

Obesity has long been linked to health conditions and genetic disorders, such as Prader-Willi Syndrome. It has also been shown that babies born to women post-bariatric surgery are healthier and less likely to have diabetes and other obesity related conditions than siblings that were born beforehand. This recent study leads experts to believe that if obese women lose weight before having children, they may be able to avoid passing on these types of gene traits to their offspring.

HCG Drops 411 Reports on Change from Real HCG Drops

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) May 20, 2013

In the last few years the HCG industry has made the switch from using the real HCG hormone to using a synthetic chemical imprint formula. Despite the switch, HCG has held it's position as America's number one diet. Synthetic HCG has what is called the chemical imprint of HCG and thus reacts the same as real HCG drops. But, has the synthetic HCG performed as well as the previously used, real hcg formula? HCG Drops 411 has provided the answer.

According to the company, dieting testimonials have shown that synthetic HCG has worked the same, if not better than the real HCG formula. "The testimonials still come pouring in daily," says Austin Sherwin, owner of HCG Drops 411. "we haven't seen any change in weight loss results and we have actually seen a drop in side effects complaints."

HCG still remains America's number one diet, being searched for more on Google than Adkins, Paleo, South Beach, and Weight Watchers combined. Even with the new formula dieters are still reporting weight loss results of 20-30 pounds per cycle, with some losing over 75 pounds over several months.
