Glutathione vs NAD: What's the Difference?

-
Image
What's the difference between glutathione and NAD? We will cover the essentials and explain about each of these nutrients below.  What is Glutathione? Glutathione or GSH (tripeptide of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine) is referred to as the body’s “master antioxidant” or the “mother of all antioxidants” because it is your body’s primary and most prevalent protector, found in all mammalian tissue. Types of Glutathione There is a lot of confusion about GSH and what makes an effective glutathione supplement. There are different types, different formulas, and a lot of different companies saying different things. L-Glutathione or Reduced Glutathione because it is the most commonly found, least expensive, and the true core behind other forms you will find. There is some debate whether L-Glutathione alone can be effective taken orally. The theory being the enzymes in your stomach break it down before it can ever reach the blood stream and become useful. Some  evidence  suggests using

6 Best Cloud Kitchens in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor 2024

-
Image
If you are looking for the best cloud kitchens in Malaysia, you've come to the right place. Like seemingly everything else, technology has been taking over the food industry. Traditionally, around  60% of new restaurants fail  within the first year, and almost 80% shut down before their fifth anniversary.  What are cloud kitchens (a.k.a. ghost kitchens, shared kitchens, dark kitchens or virtual kitchens)? They have been  in the news  a lot lately. So chances are that you have at least heard of them. On the surface, cloud kitchens are delivery-only restaurants.  Historically in tech, we have used the word "cloud" to mean either that the web-based processing happens at some remote data center or the files are saved at a data center. However, the meaning of the word has evolved lately to include anything that happens remotely so you can get the final product wherever you are. Cloud kitchens are restaurants that only have kitchens. They are essentially food production facilit

6 Best NMN Supplements To Buy In 2024

-
Image
NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. NMN is the precursor to NAD, which our cells use to power metabolic activity. In other words, NAD is essential for our cells to generate energy and thrive. By middle age, our NAD levels have plummeted to half that of our youth. And this decline has been linked to various age-related diseases. The hope is that NMN, being the direct precursor to NAD, can boost levels and extend longevity. What actually is NMN? NMN is short for Nicotinamide mononucleotide and it's the precursor to NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). In fact, two NMN molecules combined together make NAD. But NMN is actually one of many intermediary molecules before the fo

Estate Planning in Malaysia: Importance, Process, Will vs Trust, and Challenging a Will

-
Image
Estate planning is the process of preparing for the management and distribution of one's assets and properties upon death or incapacity. In Malaysia, estate planning is crucial to avoid legal issues and disputes among family members and beneficiaries. In this article, we will discuss the importance of estate planning in Malaysia, the estate planning process, will vs trust in Malaysia, and how to challenge a will in Malaysia. Why is Estate Planning Important in Malaysia? Without proper estate planning, the distribution of a deceased's assets and properties will be governed by the Distribution Act 1958 or the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984 (applicable to Muslims). These laws may not necessarily reflect the deceased's wishes or the family's needs, causing disputes and legal battles among the beneficiaries. Moreover, estate planning can help reduce the burden of taxes and administrative costs on the beneficiaries. Proper planning can minimize or eliminate

FLCCC I-Care Early Treatment Protocol (2023)

-
Image
The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance was initially formed as a working group under “emergency” conditions of the early COVID-19 pandemic in response to multiple early reports of COVID patients with an inexplicably high need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and an excessive mortality associated with the prevailing “supportive care only” recommendations disseminated by the majority of national and international health care organizations. Early treatment is critical and the most important factor in managing this disease. COVID-19 is a clinical diagnosis; a confirmed antigen or PCR test is not required. Treatment should be initiated immediately after the onset of flu-like symptoms. The multiple therapies and drugs in this protocol have different mechanisms of action and work synergistically during various phases of the disease. About this Protocol The information in this document is our recommended approach to COVID-19 based on the best (and most recent) literature. I

FLCCC I-Recover Protocol: Post Vaccine Treatment Protocol (2023)

-
Image
Although no official definition exists for post-COVID-vaccine syndrome, a temporal correlation between a patient receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and beginning or worsening of clinical manifestations is sufficient to diagnose as a COVID-19 vaccine-induced injury, when the symptoms are unexplained by other concurrent causes. Note that there are significant overlaps between the symptoms and features of long COVID/ long-hauler syndrome  and post-vaccine syndrome. However, a number of clinical features appear to be characteristic of post-vaccine syndrome; most notably, severe neurological symptoms appear to be more common following vaccination. To complicate matters further, patients with long COVID are often also vaccinated, making the issue of definition more difficult. Since there are no published reports detailing the management of vaccine-injured patients, the FLCCC treatment approach is based on the postulated pathogenetic mechanism, clinical observation, and patient anecdotes. Treatment
