The Dr. Oz Supplement Hour
Dr. Oz has put together a recap of
sorts. Today's episode is a rehash of clips from this season of Dr.
Oz's favorite supplement recommendations.
Dr. Oz Belly Blasting Supplement
#1: 7-KETO for Metabolism
Loretta shared a picture of herself in
shorts and a sports bra. She said she didn't realize she looked like
that because she doesn't look in the mirror from her face down. It's
sad, she says.
Dr. Oz says Loretta's weight gain is
all about the metabolism and there are things you can do to rev it
up.
7-Keto
is a by product of a hormone in our bodies that help to keep us
young. As we age, 7-Keto deteriorates and as a consequence the
metabolism slows down. Our bodies naturally make 7-Keto but after age
30 that production slows and if we don't work to support the
metabolism as we age then the pounds pack on.
Dr. Oz explained that 7-Keto affects
energy in our cells. 7-Keto sends fat into the cells to use for
energy. Dr. Oz says he was dubious upon first hearing about 7-Keto
but when he looked into he realized that there is something to it.
In a two month study, says Dr. Oz,
participants taking 200mg daily in split doses, once in the morning
and once the evening, were able to increase their metabolism.
Cost of 7-Keto: about $20.00.

#2: Forskolin to Burn Fat
Clarise also brought a photo of herself
in a bra and shorts and says she would like to say goodbye and good
riddance to the excess body fat. She's ready for the fat to be gone.
Diet and exercise haven't worked for her and it's been a challenge to
keep up the effort.
Dr. Oz recommends forskolin
to bust fat. Forskolin is found in the root of a plant in the mint
family. Traditionally, the forskolin plant has been used to support
heart function but research has found that it also triggers a cascade
of reactions that melts fat away. Dr. Oz explained that forskolin is
responsible for creating a furnace in the cells which allows the body
to burn more fat. Watch those fat cells melt way, he says.
Look for a product that is standardized
to 20%, says Dr. Oz, and to take 100mg daily.
Dr. Oz Belly Blasting Supplement
#3: Caraway Seeds to Fight Bloating
Dawn was choking on her tears sharing
her photo in shorts and sports bra. She said she is tired of feeling
bloated and can't even look at herself.
Dr. Oz recommended caraway seeds to
bust bloating. Caraway seeds have been a food staple for centuries in
bread and cheese and is a natural for relieving painful bloating.
Rich in vitamins and minerals, caraway seeds are a digestive aid that
can support the elimination of gas and bloating.
Feeling upset about where you are is
OK, says Dr. Oz, because it can inspires but he says he doesn't want
people to feel stuck. You're not the only one who feels this way, he
says.
Bloating comes from a build up of bad
bacteria, says Dr. Oz, which produces gas. Caraway seeds support the
good bacteria in the digestive tract and relaxes the intestines. Dr.
Oz says he wants that gas to be passed, to be released to get rid of
that bloating.
Dr. Oz recommends eating a handful of
caraway seeds in the morning and then again after every meal.
Cost of caraway seeds: about $10.00.

#4: Relora to Reduce Stress
Tammy was surprised looking at her
photo thinking she should have gained weight because of the stresses
in her life, including appearing on The Dr. Oz Show! As a wife and
mom, she finds her day is busy and filled with stress.
Dr. Oz says that stress is the number
on reason women gain weight. He recommends using the supplement
relora to bust stress. Relora is the combination of two herbs that
have been used for thousands of years to promote relaxation.
Regulating cortisol, says Dr. Oz, is the secret to relora's ability
to burn extra belly fat.
If you gain weight in response to
stress, Dr. Oz says that relora could be a benefit. Dr. Oz recommends
taking 250mg of relora three times daily at every meal to reduce
cortisol, especially at night. Cost of relora: $10-20
Dr. Oz says that supplements can help
you over the hump in a weight loss program but you have to do your
part too that means eating right and exercise.
Dr. Oz Appetite Suppressant to
Kill Hunger – Saffron
Emotional eating happens when you're
feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Compulsive eating is brought on by
low levels of serotonin in the brain. When serotonin levels are low,
depression, anxiety, and over-eating goes on the rise.
Could saffron extract be the miracle
appetite suppressant that kills cravings and helps to gain control of
over eating? Dr. Oz says this is the first he has heard of saffron.
[Well, it's the second time he's talked about saffron this season. On
the December 5, 2011 episode of The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Pina
LoGuidice, recommended taking 15mg of saffron daily to support a
healthy mood.]
Dr. Oz showed an animation detailing
how when you eat those carbohydrates you crave they turn on chemicals
in the brain: serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrin. Taking saffron
extract stimulates those same chemicals without eating the foods and
the supplement has no calories.
Dr. Oz says to look for a saffron
extract that says satiereal and take 88-90mg, twice daily - the
amount studied. In the study, explains Dr. Oz, participants were able
to eat whatever they wanted and found that the snacked less and their
overall intake was less. Cost for saffron extract: about $30 for a
one month supply.
Two audience members, Martha and Devon,
are self-proclaimed emotional eaters who agreed to take saffron
extract over a three-day weekend.
Martha believes that emotions drive her
eating, her kids lead her to eat. After Martha took saffron extract,
she says she didn't get the cravings and urges. Over the weekend she
attended a birthday party and was able to have a small piece of cake
without craving more or hearing a call from the sugar.
Devon said on a scale of 1 to 10, her
appetite before saffron extract was at a 10 or 11. She would reach
for whatever was around when she was hungry. Over the weekend, Devon
said she noticed a decrease in the amount and intensity of hunger
says her appetite was more of a 7 on the scale.
Over the three-day weekend, Martha lost
3 pounds and Devon lost 5 pounds just by using saffron extract.
Dr. Oz Top Cancer Fighting
Supplements
Dr. Oz says these supplements are the holy grail of cancer prevention
and can stop cancer before it can start.
Dr.
Lindsey Duncan, ND, naturopathic doctor and celebrity
nutritionist, says these four supplements are the big guns of cancer
prevention that can give our bodies the building blocks to fight
cancer and sometimes it can turn the table in our favor. He says you
always want to support your health and reduce your cancer risks
through diet and exercise but these supplements will provide
significant help.
Dr. Oz Cancer
Fighting Supplement #1: IP-6
Inositol hexaphosphate, or IP-6, has
been shown in animal studies to prevent cancer. IP-6 is found
naturally in seeds, nuts, beans and legumes. Dr. Duncan says it is
recommended to reduce the risks of colon,
lung, liver,
and soft tissue (skin) cancers.
He recommends taking 500mg of IP-6 twice daily, once in the morning
and once at night.
IP-6, explained Dr. Duncan, is a
carbohydrate molecule found in fiber-rich foods that can disrupts the
rogue cancer cells.
Dr. Oz Cancer Fighting
Supplement #2: Black Raspberry
Dr. Oz says to stop what
you're doing and listen to this information because it surprised even
him.
Dr. Duncan explained that
the active compound in black raspberries that give them the fruit its
color, called anthocyanins,
is where the healing compounds reside and is supportive of reducing
the risks of esophageal
and cervical
cancer risks.
Black raspberries have several hundred times anthocyanins than any
other food.
Black
raspberries have a very short harvest season, a few weeks, so look
for a supplement that contains freeze-dried fruit. Dr. Duncan
recommends taking 300mg twice daily. He says one 300mg capsule is
equivalent to four cups of black raspberries.
Dr. Oz Cancer Fighting
Supplement #3: Vitamin D
Dr.
Oz calls this one the granddaddy of all these supplements: Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is recommended to be a part of a daily and cancer
prevention protocol. Dr. Duncan says that low levels of Vitamin D is
directly related to higher cancer rates, especially female cancers.
He
recommends taking 1000iu of Vitamin D daily to help reduce the risks
of breast, cervical,
and colorectal cancers. Don't
overdo the does of Vitamin D because it's a fat-soluble vitamin that
stores in the body. [If you're concerned about proper levels of
Vitamin D, a doctor can perform a blood test to determine your
individual level.]
Which
of these supplements should be in everyone's daily program and which
ones can be used to customize a program? Dr. Duncan says everyone
should include Vitamin D in the daily program. He won't go a day
without taking his black raspberry. He says that people who are
concerned with colon, lung, liver and skin cancer risks should
include IP-6.
Dr. Oz: The Miracle Pill to Stop
Aging
Dr. Oz says there
is a miracle pill that help you look 10 years younger, have more
energy, and can improve eye sight. It's every woman's desire, says
Dr. Oz, to look younger while living longer. He says L-
Carnosine may be the
key to accomplishing all that. Can carnosine be the fountain of
youth?
Carnosine
is found in the brain and muscle cells and it keeps the skin
supple and the mind
and eye sight
sharp. As we age, carnosine levels drop by as much as 60%. Science is
starting to show that the supplement form of carnosine can have the
same effects as the natural form.
[The
video showed two brands: Now
Carnosine and Jarrow
Carnosine.]
Dr. Oz showed a
demonstration of how carnosine works in the body with pillows.
Proteins, represented by the pillows, can build up and gather up in
ways we don't want. The audience helper held four pillows that
completely covered her face and towered over her head. Carnosine
busts up these proteins and prevents damage to our cells from aging,
explained Dr. Oz.
Dr. Oz:
L-Carnosine to Support Vision
Changes in vision
come from damage from the outside world. Vision problems, cataracts,
and glaucoma can potentially be aided with carnosine. Dr. Oz says
that carnosine has been shown to improve vision and may have an
impact on dementia.
Dr. Oz said we can
learn from our family to understand if there are genes that can
pre-dispose us to diseases.
Dr.
Oz: L-Carnosine to Support Skin
A study that
tracked participants taking carnosine for 3 months showed improved
appearance and less wrinkles on the face. Dr. Oz explains that
carnosine can provide our skin with a more natural resliance to
outside factors.
Carnosine is
naturally found in meat and is always involved in our tissues. Dr. Oz
says it's hard to consume enough meat to compare with the amounts of
carnosine that supplements can provide. He recommends taking 500mg of
carnosine twice a day, once at breakfast and once at dinner. Dr. Oz
says that carnosine can provide huge benefits when started so he
recommends starting it at age 30.
Cost: about $40
for a one month supply

balancing for both men and women from puberty through menopause and
beyond.]
Dr. Oz $10 Beauty Booster Under #2:

Oz recommends taking Black Currant Oil,
500mg twice a day, to strengthen the hair and prevent split ends.
Dr. Oz Bonus Tips! The
Supplements Dr. Oz Takes
Dr. Oz shares the supplements he

and Magnesium
Dr. Oz also takes a cal-mag supplement
with 600mg of calcium and 400mg of magnesium. He says to be sure to

Loved this show went out to find supplements and cannot find the Black Rasberry anywhere. Help....
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question. Black Raspberry supplements are not common though they have probably increased in popularity since being mentioned on The Dr. Oz Show. I used to work at a medium-sized health food store and had never heard of black raspberry supplements until this show.
DeleteIf you can't find the product at stores in your area they ordering online would be your best bet. I Googled it. Here's the link for what was returned:
https://www.google.com/search?q=black+raspberry+supplements&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb
On black raspberry capsules, these are simply filled with freeze-dried black raspberry powder if you purchase the more expensive ones. This same powder can be purchased from multiple companies and is vastly less expensive per serving. Black raspberry capsules also do not contain anywhere close to the berries claimed on the show. It would take around 30 capsules to get even 1/2 a cup of berries! I found more information here: http://news.yahoo.com/three-myths-black-raspberry-capsules-demystified-120308605.html
ReplyDeleteAlso I searched through the actual clinical trials and they were all done with many grams of freeze-dried powder, and NONE of them used capsules at all. It is too bad the guest Dr. Oz had on his show didn't know the facts about this interesting berry.
