PreCrea

Diabetes and pre-diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition marked by the inability of the body to process blood glucose into energy.

As a result, the body doesn’t get the energy it needs, and the buildup of glucose in the blood begins to damage the kidneys, the nervous system, eyes, and heart. People with diabetes are thus at greater risk for kidney failure, blindness, sexual dysfunction, and heart disease. In fact, because the risk of heart attack for people with diabetes is so high, diabetes is considered a coronary heart disease equivalent.

Before developing diabetes, people usually develop pre-diabetes, defined by the American Diabetes Association as a fasting blood sugar (FBS) level between 100 and 125 mg/dL or an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) score between 140 and 199 mg/dL.

The importance of treating pre-diabetes

Once pre-diabetes progresses into diabetes, it becomes irreversible. People with diabetes have to constantly check their blood sugar levels and take one or more prescription medicines every day. By treating pre-diabetes to lower blood sugar levels, patients can lower their risk of progressing to diabetes.

PreLipid

What is pre-cardiovascular disease?

Before developing cardiovascular disease, people usually have pre-cardiovascular disease. One important marker for pre-cardiovascular disease is higher-than-normal cholesterol levels, which can lead to buildup inside the blood vessels and interfere with healthy blood flow. Buildup that blocks the flow of blood to the heart causes chest pain and/or heart attack.

Higher-than-normal cholesterol levels increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), people with cholesterol levels between 200 and 239 mg/dL have pre-cardiovascular disease and are at risk for heart disease.

The importance of treating pre-cardiovascular disease

Once full-blown cardiovascular disease sets in, it becomes irreversible. The AHA states that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in America. Every year, about 1 million Americans have a heart attack, and half a million die from heart attack. By lowering cholesterol levels, patients can significantly reduce their risk of heart disease.

PreMenora

What is menopause and perimenopause?

Menopause is a natural biological process and not an illness. It is a stage in a woman’s reproductive cycle that occurs when ovaries stop producing estrogen, causing the reproductive system to slowly shut down. It’s confirmed when 12 months have passed since a woman's last menstrual period. Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45-55, with the average age in the United States being around 51. Menopause and menopausal symptoms can also occur when the ovaries are surgically removed.

Perimenopause marks the interval in which your body begins its transition into menopause and this can last anywhere from two to eight years, plus the first year after your final period. When perimenopause starts and how long it lasts, varies from woman to woman. You'll probably notice signs, such as menstrual irregularities sometime in your 40s. But some women notice changes as early as their mid-30s.

“Perimenopause is a time of great change – it is the adolescence of older age, but better than adolescence of youth because peri-menopausal women have the confidence and the experience"

PreArthos

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a progressive disorder of the joints characterized by:
• Pain • Stiffness • Restriction of motion • Inflammation.

There are over 100 types of arthritis. The forms range from those related to wear and tear of cartilage (such as Osteoarthritis) to those associated with inflammation resulting from an overactive immune system (such as Rheumatoid arthritis). Together, the many forms of arthritis make up the most common chronic illness in the United States, with at least 49 million adults affected according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Understanding COX-1 & COX-2 and inflammation:

There are several COXs (Cyclooxygenases) produced by the body and COX-1 and COX-2 are the most important. COX-1 produces Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1,) which causes pain and inflammation, but also plays a role in protecting the stomach lining. COX-2 produces PGE2, which causes pain and inflammation, but it does not have a role in protecting the stomach lining. Most NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) like Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, etc., inhibit (block) both COX-1 and COX-2 and so, while they relieve pain and inflammation, they can cause varying degrees of gastric ulcerations, perforations or obstructions in one-third to almost one-half of patients taking them. This is why substances that selectively inhibit COX-2 without interfering with the protective aspects of COX-1 are preferable.

Problem with prescription COX-2 drugs:

Prescription COX-2 inhibitors are bio-chemically engineered substances and have been shown to cause serious cardiovascular effects including heart attacks and death. A recent review published in the journal, Pharmacotherapy concluded that COX-2 inhibitors, like COX-1 inhibitors can cause kidney failure, especially in susceptible individuals. Some of the prescription drugs including VIOXX and Bextra, which were pulled out of the market for causing several deaths are prescription drugs.

Why plant-based COX-2 Inhibitors?

Because we need to selectively inhibit COX-2 while preserving the stomach-lining protective function of COX-1. We also need to avoid the serious potential side effects of prescription COX-2 inhibitors. Plant-based COX-2 inhibitors, like those in PreArthos, also have cardiac and gastro-intestinal protective properties. These natural ingredients have no reported adverse effects on kidneys. So, PreArthos and PreArthos + are recommended for effective and safe relief of inflammatory pain and to enhance the use of joints.
