. Interestingly, recent reports have associated inflam- mation response with a decreased CYP2C19 activity in pa- tients with severe inflammatory disease. The decrease in drug metabolism can be up to 70% and is mediated by proin- flammatory cytokines (Vet et al., 2011). Thus, independent of metabolic genotype, systematic inflammation associated with SCD pain may downregulate CYP2C19 enzyme expression in SCD patients and lead to ''acquired'' PM status in patients either with homozygous (*1/*1) or heterozygous (*1/*2) ge- notype. ...

DMSO is a potent transdermal carrier and a solvent. It carries many things through the skin.

Maybe DMSO can help me absorb drugs...

 

Anyway gonna do a trail on  7 keto dhea since it is rapidly absorbed orally and 7-keto restored T3, T4, and immune cell levels to normal and is used for cell metabolism and by the brain.

Stress ulcer https://www.ncbi.nlm...v/pubmed/797497

Delayed drug absorption due to altered gastric emptying usually results in therapeutic failure, especially if the drug has a short biological half-life. At present it is not possible to predict accurately the magnitude and clinical relevance of all drug absorption interactions.

 

Thus factors influencing the rate of gastric emptying may alter the rate of absorption of most if not all orally administered drugs. Food, hormones, posture, peritoneal irritation, severe pain, gastric ulcer, diabetes and other metabolic diseases. In most instances, increasing the rate of gastric emptying and gastro-intestinal motility increases the rate of absorption of a drug but, for digoxin and riboflavin, increased gastrointestinal motility is associated with a decrease in the rate of absorption

hmm Niacin high dose (as nicotinic acid) works I got the flush effect, but when I tried b complex before no effect. I guess I need to try b vitamins individually and high dosage...

 

Found this about niacin: Niacin is one of the most stable of the B vitamins. It is resistant to the effects of heat, light, air, acid, and alkali. A white crystalline substance that is soluble in both water and alcohol, niacin and niacinamide are both readily absorbed from the small intestine. Small amounts may be stored in the liver, but most of the excess is excreted in the urine.

for B12 to be absorbed into our system requires attachment to a molecule called intrinsic factor. This molecule is produced by the same cells as HCl in the stomach lining. Side note: with chronic stress and/or chronic use of acid reducers, production of I.F. also drops. I am not aware of any other vitamin that requires a carrier, but as one of the largest vitamins I suppose it makes sense that it uses a "motorized scooter" of sorts to help it get around.

Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant in human cells by neutralizing harmful compounds. It protects the cells (by reducing oxidative stress) and is responsible for a host of health benefits, boosting metabolism and nutrient absorptionStress can have a number of physical effects on the body: it can slow down your digestive processes, increase inflammation and inhibit your sleep patterns. What most people don’t realise though, is that stress can also affect how you absorb and store certain nutrients leading to a whole host of additional unpleasant symptoms such as fatigue, low mood and muscle pain. That’s why today I’m going to take a look at how stress can deplete your stores of nutrients, which nutrients are most commonly affected and how you can go about boosting your intake of these.

Listen to your gut. Rectify a digestion problem before it becomes chronic. Whether you suffer from acid reflux, constipation, gas, bloating or indigestion, the food you eat isn’t being properly processed. This reduces your ability to absorb nutrients from it, and can result in long-term, serious health issues.

Did you know that it’s impossible to digest food without magnesium? A deficiency contributes to your digestive trouble.

Without magnesium, your body can’t perform the “mechanics” of digestion, make hydrochloric acid (stomach acid), make digesting enzymes for carbs, proteins and fats, and repair and protect your digestive organs (esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas, colon).

As soon as you put food into your mouth, magnesium comes into play. It helps to make enzymes in yoursaliva that break food down into smaller parts, helping the entire digestive process. The hormones that tell your stomach to produce digestive acid need magnesium to be made; without it, you can’t digest food. After your stomach, food goes into your intestines, where more enzymes made by the pancreas break it down small enough to be absorbed as nutrients. The pancreas must have magnesium to make these vitalenzymes. Magnesium also keeps the pancreas healthy, helping to prevent pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Common conditions including acid reflux (heartburn) and GERD are not linked to excess stomach acid, as many people think, but low stomach acid. These conditions, too, are affected by magnesium deficiency. How? GERD and acid reflux are caused by a malfunctioning esophageal sphincter. This may happen due to a bacterial overgrowth that occurs when there is too little stomach acid. Magnesium aids stomach acid production that reduces bad bacteria in the gut.

Slow flow? Of all of these issues, poor elimination (constipation) is the most common final result of poor digestion. One symptom of magnesium deficiency is constipation. According to the American Gastroenterological Association, 16% of adults (including one-third of people over 60) are chronically constipated, meaning they have three or fewer bowel movements per week. Learn about the common causes of constipation and what you can do it about it!

The metabolism can be stimulated with natural, high-quality, organic, cold pressed coconut oil due to this oil containing triglycerides, which are simply called MCT and which when found in nature are only contained in very few oils.

These fats are not absorbed by the body and therefore do not behave like fats. They also lower cholesterol levels, and they also stimulate the metabolism, they deliver high quality energy to the body and promote the absorption of calcium and magnesium.

The avocado contains not only calories and fruit fat, but also a lot of fibre, as well as the important vitamin C, iron, folic acid, potassium, copper and magnesium, which are extremely important for the body and organism.

The pseudo-grains Amaranth and Quinoa (staple foods in South America for centuries) provide the perfect combination of protein with tryptophan and carbohydrates. If taken on an empty stomach (important!), their fine fibrous materials form an aqueous solution with plenty of liquid immediately after ingestion, which is let through from the stomach unhindered into the small intestine. Due to the low digestive work and rapid absorption, the ingredients soon end up in the blood. It contains an abundance of amino acids as well as a balanced mixture of carbohydrates of different lengths. The latter attract the transport hormone insulin, which not only transports glucose into the cells, but also the amino acids that have just arrived in the blood stream into the mitochondria (power plants) of the skeletal muscles. In this way, all tangible amino acids are used for energy production – with only one exception, namely the amino acid tryptophan, which does not fit into the absorption pattern of the skeletal muscles. A prerequisite for this is the state of being sober, so that the muscles have a need for energy. all vital substances and enzymes are original and active and can therefore be used very well by the body. Quinoa and amaranth are the most iron- and magnesium-rich foods in the category of holistic and wholesome cereal products. Amaranth is also the uncrowned calcium king in this group and provides almost twice as much of the bone-strengthening material as cow's milk.

First, the production of stress hormones and neurotransmitters consumes a big chunk of these nutrients’ reserves.

Then, because stress largely shuts down the digestive system, less of them gets absorbed from the food you eat.

Consequently, your supply of anti-stress vitamins and minerals is decreased … and your tolerance to stress is lowered.

Inflammation shuts down energy production in brain cells, contributing to stress, anxiety, brain fog, mental fatigue, and depression

Magnesium has been called “the master mineral” for the role it plays in over 600 metabolic functions in the body. (42)

It’s also been called “nature’s Valium” because it’s so good at combating stress and making you feel more relaxed.

There is a direct correlation between low magnesium levels and how easily you get stressed out.

The link between magnesium and anxiety is so strong that researchers can induce anxiety in lab animals at will by depriving them of magnesium. (43)

Stress causes magnesium to be excreted during urination, thereby depleting body stores. (44)

One way magnesium neutralizes stress is by binding to and stimulating GABA receptors in the brain

How stress snatches magnesium

Magnesium is essential to help our bodies function properly, but stress can zap your stores. Here’s what to do about it and how magnesium can help with stress management.

Magnesium plays a crucial role in maintaining our central nervous system, including helping our cells produce and use energy. In fact, it’s so important, researchers refer to the mineral as a ‘neuroprotector’.

Magnesium vs stress 

The trouble is stress can increase the amount of magnesium we lose from our body (in urine), leading to a magnesium deficiency. In turn, that deficiency enhances our response to stress – we can get stuck in a cycle of feeling stressed, losing magnesium, reacting even more to stress, losing more magnesium, and so on.

When you have low magnesium levels, the point at which your adrenal glands produce the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol is also lower. This means even small stresses, like the ear-jangling noise of a building site, can trigger a huge reaction, flooding your nervous system with hormones and further depleting your magnesium levels.

Ionized (or charged) drugs are not absorbed as efficiently as un-ionized drugs are. Practically speaking, this means that if taken orally, a drug that is a weak acid will be absorbed primarily in the acidic environment; whereas, a drug that is a weak base will be absorbed in the alkaline environment small intestines.

Importance in drug binding

An article[56] investigating the structural basis of interactions between clinically relevant antibiotics and the 50S ribosome appeared in Nature in October 2001. High-resolution X-ray crystallography established that these antibiotics associate only with the 23S rRNA of a ribosomal subunit, and no interactions are formed with a subunit's protein portion. The article stresses that the results show "the importance of putative Mg2+(magnesium) ions for the binding of some drugs".

 

Magnesium is required for the production of ATP (the main source of energy in our cells) [3], and the production of DNA, RNA, and proteins [4].

Magnesium plays an important role in cell-to-cell communication [

 

To transport the drugs across the body^^^^
