Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi , Its taken me along while to learn this stuff so don't feel bad, I still don't know much! GMP stands for Good Manufacturing practices. Its just higher standards that some companies adhere too. Right now there are no standards or testing that companies have to have like the drug companies. What this means is they can say just about anything they want and we are suppose to believe it. Their website can claim to cure and heal and all that is illegal. So I learned to check out companies first, then their products usually are pretty good, at least I know they are tested and standardized. Standardization is making sure each bottle is the same. You would think that would be something you could expect but its simply not true unless they say so. I still have some companies who I like but will not use some of their products because they use some ingredients I don't like. Anyway, MSM is for humans as well as animals, its stands for Methylsufoynlmethane. I have never used it for myself but only my animals, and I have heard others swear by it. As far as Calcium on your joints, that is not from taking Calcium, at least the way I understand it. Its most likely either not enough calcium or not absorbing Calcium that causes that and bone spurs and stuff like that. Even kidney stones are a lack of minerals, not an excess as so often is taught. The N-acytl-glucosamine that I take is from shrimp. I sometimes wonder about absorption from rock, just don't think its possible, but I know people do have some results??? * * Parashis wrote: > > I don't get most of what you said. > > What is GMP standards?

Actually, that's principally a matter of not having enough of the right vitamins (principally K2). To grossly oversimplify, vitamin D enables calcium absorption and vitamin K2 makes sure it goes to the right places. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I believe magnesium also plays a very large part in calcium absorption and utilization. > It's dangerous > to take too much calcium, it goes to the wrong places.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Dear Matt, If you go to www.drugs.com, you can post all of your drugs for interaction. You don't have to worry about glucosamine, but there are 1258 things that could knowingly react with Tasigna. See below. I think everyone on Tasigna will want to take note: REASONS TO GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of nilotinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death. ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of nilotinib. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. Compared to the fast state, nilotinib systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 82% when the dose was given 30 minutes after a high-fat meal. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death. MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nilotinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. In addition, no food should be consumed for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after a nilotinib dose. Below are the others that can be problematic and a good idea to check out what's in your medicine cabinet. Here are the other 1285 reasons to be aware: http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.php?action=allinteractions & drugid=d07057 & \ drugname=Tasigna+%28nilotinib%29 Blessings to all, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
