Textile:
Anionic-nonionic, cationic and nonionic emulsions of Luwax OA used in textile finishing, often in combination with paraffin wax.
Theyimpart a smooth, soft, full handle to fabrics such as cotton and linen, andthey increase the fabrics’ water repellancy.

They can be added to crease-resistant resin finishes to improve their abrasion resistance, sewability andtearing resistance.
Emulsions of this type can also be used to reduce thesusceptibility of fabrics to soiling and improve their washability and waterresistance, especially if the emulsions have a low emulsifier content.

In textile applications, Luwax OA is very important that wax emulsions are resistantto electrolytes and salts that act as catalysts.
The resistance of anionic-nonionic emulsions of Luwax OA to 5 % solutions of ammoniumdihydrogen phosphate, zinc nitrate and magnesium chloride at 20 °C isparticularly good.

These have a variety ofapplications.

Formwork emulsions:
Emulsions of Luwax OA can be applied to wooden and metalforms for concrete.
They have the advantage over oils that they do notpenetrate into the concrete, which causes problems when renderings andfinishes are applied.

Water repellants for particle board:
Wax emulsions are added to the adhesives used to bind particle board toprevent particles of wood from absorbing moisture and swelling.

Temporary protective coatings for metal:
Emulsions can be applied to new cars and machine parts, etc., to protectthem from corrosion during transport and storage.

Emulsification of Luwax OA:
Luwax OA is easy to prepare very stable emulsions from Luwax OA.
Anionic emulsions are the most finely divided and, depending on the typeand quantity of amine soap used to emulsify them, they can be transpar-ent to crystal-clear.

Cationic and nonionic emulsions are less finely dividedand are milky white in appearance, but anionic-nonionic emulsions can beprepared which are transparent.
Emulsions of Luwax OA, espe-cially anionic and anionic-nonionic emulsions dry to form high-gloss films.

Preparing emulsions of Luwax OA:
Because of the wax’s high melting point, the following method has to beused to prepare emulsions at atmospheric pressure.
The wax and emulsi-fier are melted together at 120 –130 °C.

The mixture is then poured intothe water in the form of a thin jet, and stirred vigorously.
The water has tobe heated to as near to boiling point as possible.

The dimensions of thestirrer and the speed at which Luwax OA rotates should be such that the waterforms a deep vortex.
The hot wax can then be poured into the vortex toprevent Luwax OA from touching the stirrer or the sides of the vessel and formingspecks.
Emulsifiers such as alkali hydroxides or acetic acid, etc., can alsobe added to the hot water.

After all the wax has been added, the emulsion should be stirred for a fur-ther 5 –15 minutes at 96 – 98 °C.
Luwax OA then has to be cooled to 40 – 50 °C asquickly as possible, preferably by passing cold water through coils or ajacket fitted to the vessel.

Generally speaking, emulsions with solids contents of up to 40 % can beprepared from Luwax OA.
They are stable and pumpable at thisconcentration.
The viscosity of emulsions with a solids content of greaterthan 40 % is too high for them to be handled at room temperature.

A less energy-intensive method is to prepare a concentrated emulsion witha solids content of ca. 40 %, and then to dilute Luwax OA down to its final concentration with cold water.

Luwax OA can also be emulsified under pressure in an autoclave.
However, Luwax OA is easier to control the properties of the emulsion if the variousingredients are added one at a time at atmospheric pressure.
Coemulsions can be prepared with other waxes such as paraffin wax,microcrystalline waxes (hard, plastic or oxidized), montanic ester waxesand carnauba wax.

Types of emulsion of Luwax OA:
The following points are important when preparing emulsions of Luwax OA.

Anionic:
Emulsifiers: Salts of oleic acid or other long-chain fatty acids together withhigh-boiling amines such as morpholine (b. p. 127 –130 °C),diethylethanolamine (b. p. 160 –163 °C) and 2-amino-2-methylpropanol (b. p. 165 –168 °C).
The wax and the oleic acid are melted together at 120 –130 °C.
The mix-ture is then stirred and cooled to 100 °C, during which time the amineforms a salt. The mixture is then reheated to 120 –130 °C and poured intothe water.

Anionic-nonionic:
Emulsifiers: Ethoxylated fatty alcohols such as Lutensol AT 11, LutensolON 70 or Lutensol TO 8, together with small quantities ofalkali hydroxide.
The alkali hydroxide forms a salt with the acid groups of the wax, whichmakes Luwax OA very easy to emulsify.

The best method is to dissolve the hydroxide in the water.
A slightly more transparent emulsion is obtained ifthe hydroxide is added to the molten wax/emulsifier mixture, but the emul-sion does not form a more transparent film on drying, and any benefits areoutweighed by disadvantages such as foaming, spitting and the formationof specks.
If emulsions of this type are to be used for finishing textiles, small quan-tities of highly ethoxylated fatty alcohols such as Lutensol AT 25 or Emulan OC are usually added to improve their stability towards metalsalts such as magnesium chloride and zinc nitrate

Cationic:
Emulsifiers: Salts of ethoxylated amines such as Lutensol FA 12 or Armo-blen 1101and short-chain monocarboxylic acids such asacetic acid.
The acetic acid is added to the water.
A cationic emulsifier is formed whenthe molten wax/amine mixture is poured in.

Nonionic:
Emulsifiers: Ethoxylated fatty alcohols such as Lutensol AT 25.

Storage of Luwax OA:
The shelf life of Luwax OA Pastilles is virtually unlimited, provided they arestored properly in their sealed original packaging

Lysine is an essential amino acid.
Normal requirements for lysine have been found to be about 8 g per day or 12 mg/kg in adults.
Children and infants need more- 44 mg/kg per day for an eleven to-twelve-year old, and 97 mg/kg per day for three-to six-month old.
Lysine is highly concentrated in muscle compared to most other amino acids.


Lysine is high in foods such as wheat germ, cottage cheese and chicken.
Of meat products, wild game and pork have the highest concentration of lysine.
Fruits and vegetables contain little lysine, except avocados.


Normal lysine metabolism is dependent upon many nutrients including niacin, vitamin B6, riboflavin, vitamin C, glutamic acid and iron.
Excess arginine antagonizes lysine.
Several inborn errors of lysine metabolism are known.


Most are marked by mental retardation with occasional diverse symptoms such as absence of secondary sex characteristics, undescended testes, abnormal facial structure, anemia, obesity, enlarged liver and spleen, and eye muscle imbalance.
Lysine also may be a useful adjunct in the treatment of osteoporosis.
Although high protein diets result in loss of large amounts of calcium in urine, so does lysine deficiency.


Lysine may be an adjunct therapy because it reduces calcium losses in urine.
Lysine deficiency also may result in immunodeficiency.
Requirements for this amino acid are probably increased by stress.


Lysine toxicity has not occurred with oral doses in humans.
Lysine dosages are presently too small and may fail to reach the concentrations necessary to prove potential therapeutic applications.
Lysine metabolites, amino caproic acid and carnitine have already shown their therapeutic potential.


Thirty grams daily of amino caproic acid has been used as an initial daily dose in treating blood clotting disorders, indicating that the proper doses of lysine, its precursor, have yet to be used in medicine.
Low lysine levels have been found in patients with Parkinson's, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, asthma and depression.


The exact significance of these levels is unclear, yet lysine therapy can normalize the level and has been associated with improvement of some patients with these conditions.
Abnormally elevated hydroxylysines have been found in virtually all chronic degenerative diseases and coumadin therapy.


The levels of this stress marker may be improved by high doses of vitamin C.
Lysine is particularly useful in therapy for marasmus (wasting) and herpes simplex.
It stops the growth of herpes simplex in culture, and has helped to reduce the number and occurrence of cold sores in clinical studies.


Dosing has not been adequately studied, but beneficial clinical effects occur in doses ranging from 100 mg to 4 g a day.
Higher doses may also be useful, and toxicity has not been reported in doses as high as 8 g per day.
Diets high in lysine and low in arginine can be useful in the prevention and treatment of herpes.


Some researchers think herpes simplex virus is involved in many other diseases related to cranial nerves such as migraines, Bell's palsy and Meniere's disease.
Lysine is an essential amino acid.
Lysine is often added to animal feed.


Lysine is an amino acid.
Amino acids are molecules that act as the building blocks of proteins.
Specifically, lysine is an essential amino acid.


That means that your body can’t make lysine on its own, and instead it must be obtained through your diet.
Lysine can be found in protein-rich plant and animal-based foods like eggs, lentils, meat, dairy products, and fish.
Lysine can also be taken as a dietary supplement.


The supplement label might say “l-lysine,” which is the form of lysine used in supplements.
As a supplement, lysine offers a number of benefits.
Lysine is an amino acid that is found mostly in animal products.


Though more research is needed, it may help reduce anxiety, prevent cold sores, improve calcium absorption, and promote wound healing.
Lysine is a building block for protein and an essential amino acid.
Because your body cannot make it, you need to obtain it from food.

You need lysine for:
*growth
*muscle turnover
*forming carnitine, a substance found in most cells of your body
*transporting fats across your cells to be burned for energy
*Lysine is the form of lysine your body can utilize.
*Lysine’s naturally found in food and is the type used in supplements.


Lysine is an essential amino acid.
Many people know that several amino acids are known as the “building blocks of protein” and are needed in order for a huge number of internal functions to work properly, including growth.


Lysine was first discovered by a German scientist known only as Dreschel in 1889, who was able to isolate the amino acid from casein, or milk protein.
The exact structure of Lysine was recorded just three years later.
Of the few hundred amino acids found in nature, 20 are necessary for protein creation and growth, and only 10 of those 20 can be produced by the body.


The remaining 10 are known as “essential” amino acids because humans must consume them for proper health.
Amino acid deficiencies cause a degradation of internal cells and can lead to huge problems, so it’s important to get enough of them in your diet.
It’s common to be deficient in lysine and glutamine, in particular.


Essential amino acids are most often stereoisomers, meaning they exist in two variations that are identical to one another as mirror images.
There are both D- and L- forms of these amino acids, and the L- form is used in protein synthesis and therefore the form found in food and supplements.
Because of this, most people simply refer to this nutrient as “lysine” for short.


There are many incredible Lysine benefits, from its use as a common treatment for cold sores to a potential anti-anxiety supplement.
As is true with most nutrients available in supplement form, Lysine can be taken orally but is absorbed best into the body when consumed through dietary sources.


Lysine’s found in large amounts in various kinds of meat, beans, cheeses and eggs.
Specifically, Lysine is very important in the creation of carnitine, which converts fatty acids into energy and also lowers cholesterol levels.
Lysine, also known as L-lysine, is an essential amino acid for the body.


Lysine also seems to play a role in absorbing calcium and helps the body form collagen, which aids in the growth and maintenance of bones and connective tissue (including skin).
Unlike some other amino acids, the body cannot synthesize lysine on its own.


Therefore, the body can only obtain lysine through the diet.
Lysine is important for normal growth as well as muscle turnover.
Besides, lysine helps transport fat through cells to burn for energy.


L-lysine is the form of lysine your body can use.
Lysine is found in foods and is the type used in supplements.

Lysine is an essential amino acid.
There are two chemical versions of lysine: L-lysine and D-lysine.


L-lysine is the bioactive form found in foods and supplements that your body uses, and it's our focus here.
Lysine, or L-lysine, is an essential amino acid, meaning it is necessary for human health, but the body cannot make it.
You have to get lysine from food or supplements.

Lysine is an amino acid commonly paired with Vitamin C in many supplements.
While an essential amino acid Lysine does not hold much promise as a supplement beyond reducing the symptoms of herpes simplex.


Lysine is an essential amino acid that your body doesn’t produce on its own, which means it must come from diet or supplementation.
Primary dietary sources of lysine are meat, poultry, fish, dairy, tofu, lentils, and beans.
However, because many individuals don’t get enough lysine through diet alone, supplementation of this essential amino acid is advisable.

People describe amino acids as the building blocks of protein because they combine with other compounds to form this macronutrient.
The medical community defines lysine as an essential amino acid because, unlike some other amino acids, the body cannot synthesize it.


As a result, people need to include Lysine in their diet.
Lysine (Lys, K) is one of the 22 amino acids found in proteins.
Due to its 4-aminobutyl (primary amine) side chain, it belongs to the group of basic amino acids such as histidine and arginine


Like many other amino acids, this amino acid has both L- and D- isomers.
However, Lysine's active isomer, in other words, its isomer that exists in nature, is L - Lysine.
Lysine (symbol Lys or K) is an α-amino acid that is a precursor to many proteins.


Lysine contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH+3 form when dissolved in water), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO− form when dissolved in water), and a side chain lysyl ((CH2)4NH2), classifying it as a basic, charged (at physiological pH), aliphatic amino acid.
Lysine is encoded by the codons AAA and AAG.
Like almost all other amino acids, the α-carbon is chiral and lysine may refer to either enantiomer or a racemic mixture of both.


For the purpose of this article, lysine will refer to the biologically active enantiomer L-lysine, where the α-carbon is in the S configuration.
The human body cannot synthesize lysine.
Lysine is essential in humans and must therefore be obtained from the diet.


In organisms that synthesise lysine, two main biosynthetic pathways exist, the diaminopimelate and α-aminoadipate pathways, which employ distinct enzymes and substrates and are found in diverse organisms.
Lysine catabolism occurs through one of several pathways, the most common of which is the saccharopine pathway.


Lysine was first isolated by the German biological chemist Ferdinand Heinrich Edmund Drechsel in 1889 from hydrolysis of the protein casein, and thus named it Lysin, from Greek λύσις (lysis) 'loosening'.
In 1902, the German chemists Emil Fischer and Fritz Weigert determined lysine's chemical structure by synthesizing it.


The one-letter symbol K was assigned to lysine for being alphabetically nearest, with L being assigned to the structurally simpler leucine, and M to methionine.
Lysine (abbreviated as Lys or K) is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)(CH2)4NH2.

Lysine inhibits HSV growth by knocking out arginine.


Many lysine supplements are also vegan or gluten-free.
The label should tell you whether the supplement is either vegan or gluten-free.
The label should also list the supplement form.

USES and APPLICATIONS of LYSINE:
Lysine is used to make carnitine - an amino acid found in most cells of the body.
Reported lysine benefits include improved blood sugar control, management of anxiety and stress, collagen formation, and wound healing.


Your body cannot make lysine, so you must get it from food or supplements.
Lysine is important for proper growth, and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping lower cholesterol.


Lysine appears to help the body absorb calcium, and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendons, and cartilage.
Lysine uses the purest, most absorbable form of this amino acid – without adding unnecessary additives or preservatives.
Daily lysine requirement is between 1-1.5 g.

Lysine is also often involved in histone modifications, and thus, impacts the epigenome.
The ε-amino group often participates in hydrogen bonding and as a general base in catalysis.
The ε-ammonium group (−NH+3) is attached to the fourth carbon from the α-carbon, which is attached to the carboxyl (−COOH) group.


Due to its importance in several biological processes, a lack of lysine can lead to several disease states including defective connective tissues, impaired fatty acid metabolism, anaemia, and systemic protein-energy deficiency.
O-Glycosylation of lysine residues in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus is used to mark certain proteins for secretion from the cell.


-Use of lysine in animal feed
Lysine production for animal feed is a major global industry, reaching in 2009 almost 700,000 tons for a market value of over €1.22 billion.
Lysine is an important additive to animal feed because it is a limiting amino acid when optimizing the growth of certain animals such as pigs and chickens for the production of meat.

Lysine supplementation allows for the use of lower-cost plant protein (maize, for instance, rather than soy) while maintaining high growth rates, and limiting the pollution from nitrogen excretion.
In turn, however, phosphate pollution is a major environmental cost when corn is used as feed for poultry and swine.


-Herpes simplex virus (HSV):
Some studies suggest that taking lysine on a regular basis may help prevent outbreaks of cold sores and genital herpes.
Others show no improvement.

Lysine has antiviral effects by blocking the activity of arginine, which promotes HSV replication.
One review found that oral lysine is more effective atpreventing an HSV outbreak than it is at reducing the severity and duration of an outbreak.

One study found that taking lysine at the beginning of a herpes outbreak did not reduce symptoms.
Most experts believe that lysine does not improve the healing of cold sores.
But supplementation may reduce recurrences or improve symptoms.


-Osteoporosis:
Lysine helps the body absorb calcium and reduces the amount of calcium that is lost in urine.
Since calcium is crucial for bone health, some researchers think lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis.

Lab studies suggest that lysine in combination with L-arginine (another amino acid) makes bone-building cells more active and enhances production of collagen.
But no studies have examined whether lysine helps prevent osteoporosis in humans.


-Athletic performance:
Athletes sometimes use lysine as a protein supplement.
Some studies suggest lysine helps muscle tissue recover after stress.



IF YOU DO NOT TAKE ENOUGH LYSINE:
Most people get enough lysine in their diet.
Although athletes, burn patients, and vegans who do not eat beans may need more.
If you do not have enough lysine, you may experience:
*Fatigue
*Nausea
*Dizziness
*Loss of appetite
*Agitation
*Bloodshot eyes
*Slow growth
*Anemia
*Reproductive disorders
For vegans, legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) are the best sources of lysine.



IN POPULAR CULTURE, LYSINE:
The 1993 film Jurassic Park, which is based on the 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, features dinosaurs that were genetically altered so that they could not produce lysine, an example of engineered auxotrophy.

This was known as the "lysine contingency" and was supposed to prevent the cloned dinosaurs from surviving outside the park, forcing them to depend on lysine supplements provided by the park's veterinary staff.
In reality, no animal can produce lysine; it is an essential amino acid.



BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
Because lysine is an amino acid, your body uses it to make proteins and repair muscles.
Lysine supplements may provide benefits for the following:

*Cold sores from herpes simplex virus (HSV)
*Anxiety and stress
*Schizophrenia
*Blood sugar control
*Calcium absorption
*Wound healing
The research on many of these benefits is limited.


*Cold Sores
Cold sores are an unpleasant side effect of HSV 1.
A 2017 review found that oral lysine supplementation of 3 grams per day or more improved the experiences of some people with cold sores.

However, the review stated that more research is needed to determine whether lysine is an effective treatment for this condition.
An earlier review conducted in 2015 also did not find enough evidence to back up claims that lysine can provide cold sore relief.


*Stress and Anxiety
Studies have looked at whether lysine can help manage anxiety and stress.
Research is limited, and it should be noted that many of the studies are small and don't include many participants.

A randomized, double-blind study found that cortisol (a hormone that's increased during stress), was lowered in people who consumed lysine-fortified foods for three months.
The study also found that these foods reduced anxiety measures in males.


*Schizophrenia
Lysine may also be used as a complementary treatment for schizophrenia, according to limited research.
A small pilot study reported that people taking 6 g of lysine daily for four weeks had improved symptoms, including reduced psychosis severity.


*Blood Sugar Control
Lysine supplements may be useful for lowering blood sugar.
A very small study found that high doses of lysine (11 g) taken with glucose resulted in small decreases in blood sugar.
Researchers think that lysine supplementation may either help with insulin secretion or help remove glucose from the blood on its own.


*Calcium Absorption
Lysine supplements may help the body absorb calcium, which can be beneficial for osteoporosis (a disease that causes weak, brittle bones).


*Wound Healing
Lysine has been shown to enhance blood supply and target growth factors, leading to improved wound healing.
A small study evaluated adding a 15% lysine cream to standard treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.
Researchers concluded the 15% lysine cream can significantly improve wound healing but noted that larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.



DIETARY SOURCES OF LYSINE:
Good sources of lysine include foods that are rich in protein, such as:
*Meat, specifically red meat, pork, and poultry
*Cheese, particularly parmesan
*Certain fish, such as cod and sardines
*Eggs
*Soybeans, particularly tofu, isolated soy protein, and defatted soybean flour
*Spirulina
*Fenugreek seed
*Brewer's yeast, beans and other legumes, and dairy products also contain lysine.



HEALTH BENEFITS OF LYSINE INCLUDE:
• Wound healing – Lysine is often recommended for supporting the healing of sores and wounds because of its benefits to collagen formation and immune function.*
• Some evidence indicates lysine can be beneficial for maintaining healthy gum and lip tissues.*
• Promotes immune health – lysine provides nutritional support to help your body maintain its natural defenses.*
• Skin health – This amino acid is known to promote collagen formation, which in turn benefits the health and elasticity of skin.*
• Bone Health – lysine promotes calcium absorption, which is needed to maintain strong bones and teeth



HERE ARE FOUR IMPRESSIVE HEALTH BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
1. Lysine may protect against and treat cold sores by blocking arginine:
Cold sores, or fever blisters, are symptoms of an infection, often appearing on the lip or the corners of your mouth as fluid-filled blisters that can cause discomfort, such as tingling, pain, and burning.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which can hide nerve cells near the base of your brain.
In times of stress or if your immune system is weakened, HSV-1 can trigger the development of a cold sore.


2. Lysine may reduce anxiety by blocking stress response receptors:
Lysine may play a role in reducing anxiety, though more research is still needed to support this.
One 2003 study found that it blocked receptors involved in stress response.

Researchers observed that rats given lysine had reduced rates of stress-induced loose bowel movements.
Lysine may also be able to help people with schizophrenia, a mental disorder that disrupts an individual’s perception of the outside world, resulting in changes in thought and behavior.


3. Lysine may improve calcium absorption and retention:
Lysine may help your body hold on to calcium by increasing calcium absorption in your gut and helping your kidneys hold on to the mineral.
Your body needs calcium to keep your bones strong, especially as you age.


4. Lysine can promote wound healing by helping create collagen
Lysine can improve wound healing in your body.
Lysine helps you form collagen, a protein that acts as a scaffold and supports and gives structure to skin and bones.
Lysine may also act as a binding agent, increasing the number of new cells in a wound.



HOW TO STORE LYSINE:
Lysine supplements should be stored in a cool, dry place that does not receive direct sunlight.
Be sure to avoid storing your supplements in an area that could become overly hot or cold.
Do not Lysine store In the bathroom.
Discard lysine supplements after one year or as indicated on the packaging.



WHAT IS LYSINE USED FOR?
Lysine is an essential amino acid, a building block of proteins, and is involved in many biological processes in the body.
Essential amino acids are necessary for human health, but are not synthesized in the body and must be obtained from the diet.

Lysine is used to treat cold sores (herpes simplex labialis), increase alkalinity in the body (metabolic alkalosis), improve bone density, and boost athletic performance.

Lysine plays a vital role in many processes including:
*Synthesis of carnitine, a compound that is involved in converting fatty acids into energy
*Absorption of calcium
*Formation of collagen, the protein in bone and connective tissue such as skin, cartilage, and tendons
*Production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes
*Herpes simplex viral proteins are rich in arginine, another amino acid, which promotes viral replication.
*Lysine inhibits viral replication by blocking the activity of arginine because it uses the same pathways as arginine.
Studies show that regular intake of lysine may prevent cold sore outbreaks, or reduce their frequency and severity, but may not improve the healing of sores.

Lysine lowers the pH levels in the body and restores acid-base balance in metabolic alkalosis.
Some studies suggest lysine may help muscle tissue recovery and some athletes use it as a protein supplement.
Lysine helps calcium absorption, but there aren’t any studies that support its use in preventing bone loss (osteoporosis).

Good dietary sources of lysine include animal products including red meats, pork and poultry, eggs, cheese, and other dairy products, and certain types of fish such as cod and sardine.
Vegetable sources include soy, legumes, spirulina, and fenugreek seeds.
Lysine supplements are available as oral tablets and capsules, and topical formulations.

-Suggested uses of lysine include:
*Herpes simplex labialis caused by the herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1)
*Metabolic alkalosis
*Enhancement of athletic performance



WHAT DOES LYSINE DO?
*Treatment of cold sores:
Cold sores are a symptom of an infection, usually appearing on the lips or corners of the mouth.
They appear as fluid-filled blisters that can cause discomfort, such as tingling, pain, and burning.

Plus, they can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
If you're stressed or your immune system is weakened, HSV-1 can trigger the development of cold sores.

Lysine supplementation can help prevent the HSV-1 virus from reproducing.
It is thought that lysine may block another amino acid called arginine, which HSV-1 needs in order to multiply and thrive.
Some studies suggest that lysine may reduce the duration and frequency of cold sores, however, this evidence is inconsistent.


*Reduce anxiety and stress:
Lysine plays a role in reducing anxiety and stress.
One study showed that lysine blocks receptors involved in the stress response.


*Improve symptoms of schizophrenia:
Lysine may also help people with schizophrenia, a mental disorder that disrupts an individual's perception of the outside world, often resulting in an inability to understand be realistic.

Although research is still in the early stages, there is evidence that lysine can improve symptoms of schizophrenia in conjunction with prescribed medication;


*Improve calcium absorption:
Lysine can help your body keep calcium.
It is believed that lysine increases calcium absorption and helps the kidneys retain the mineral.

A study in 30 women, 15 healthy people, and 15 people with osteoporosis found that calcium and lysine supplements reduced the amount of calcium in the urine; Lysine is responsible for protecting bones and it also plays a role in controlling calcium transport in the body.

Lysine is needed for the formation of collagen, a protein that acts as a scaffold, supporting and giving structure to skin and bones; Lysine itself also acts as a binding agent, increasing the number of new cells at the wound site.
It even promotes the formation of new blood vessels.


*Lowering blood pressure:
A study in 50 adults with lysine deficiency and hypertension found that lysine supplementation significantly reduced blood pressure; Treat diabetes: One study found that lysine may help reduce blood sugar reactivity in people with diabetes.

However, this issue needs to be studied more clearly; Other benefits such as: Promotes healthy skin growth, prevents osteoporosis with calcium supplements, controls blood pressure, treats shingles, prevents plaque buildup in arteries, helps with movement Encourages recovery after intense training



HOW EFFECTIVE IS LYSINE?
Limited studies in client-owned cats have been performed, but there is anecdotal evidence that lysine works to suppress the symptoms of feline herpes virus.



HOW IS LYSINE GIVEN?
Lysine is given by mouth in the form of a powder, crushed tablet, chewable tablet, or paste/gel.
Mix the powder in a small amount of food unless otherwise directed.
This medication can take up to a few weeks before full effects are noted, but gradual improvements are usually noticeable after a few days.



WHAT IF I MISS GIVING MY PET LYSINE?
If you miss a dose, give it when you remember, but if it is close to the time for the next dose, skip the dose you missed and give it at the next scheduled time, and return to the regular dosing schedule.
Never give your pet two doses at once or give extra doses.



FOODS WITH LYSINE:
You can buy lysine supplements, but those with liver or kidney disease should not take them without consulting a doctor.
Pregnant and lactating women should use caution.

Lysine supplements can also interfere with one type of antibiotic (Aminoglycoside).
Another reason to pass on lysine supplements is that taking a single amino acid in supplement form can negatively affect metabolism.

Lysine can also put a burden on the kidneys and affect growth in children.
While there are numerous warnings about taking lysine as a supplement, lysine from food sources is considered safe.
Some people seek out spirulina and fenugreek seeds to boost their lysine intake, but your local supermarket has many sources of lysine, including these:

1. Meat and poultry:
Beef, pork, and poultry are all good sources of lysine.
To promote heart health, most people should choose lean cuts and keep serving sizes small.

2. Cheese:
Almost all cheeses are high in protein and calcium but also high in fat and cholesterol.
The cheese with the most lysine is parmesan.
Just one tablespoon of grated parmesan provides 2 grams of protein and 1 gram of fat.

3. Fish:
Many health experts favor fish as a source of healthy protein.
Cod and sardines are especially high in lysine.

4. Eggs:
Eggs are an inexpensive protein source, although they are high in cholesterol.
The American Heart Association says that most adults can eat an egg a day without harm.

5. Soybeans
Vegans and vegetarians need not worry.
Tofu is a great source of lysine.
If you aren't a tofu fan, you can also get lysine from soy protein and soybean flour.

6. Legumes
Legumes are another protein powerhouse, especially for those on plant-based diets.
Choose from beans, peas, lentils, peanuts, and more.



10 HEALTH BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
Here are the 10 health benefits of lysine.

*Vital for proper growth:
Lysine produces carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy.
Carnitine carries long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria to produce energy and transports the generated toxins outside the cells.

*Lysine promotes wound healing:
Lysine speeds up wound healing and is required for collagen formation—a protein that gives structure to the skin and bones.

*Lysine prevents herpes simplex virus (HSV):
Lysine may help prevent eruptions of cold sores and herpes affecting the genital area.
It has antiviral activity and prevents HSV replication.

*Lysine prevents osteoporosis:
Because lysine helps the body absorb calcium, the amount of calcium lost in urine is minimized.
Absorption of calcium may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis.

*Lysine boosts athletic performance:
Lysine, when taken as a protein supplement, may help athletes’ muscles recover from stress.

*Lysine iIncreases muscle mass:
A study has shown that lysine may help with muscle loss and enhance strength in older women.

*Lysine relieves stress:
Research suggests that consuming wheat with added lysine reduces stress and anxiety.
Lysine may help reduce cortisol levels in women, and in combination with medications, may be beneficial in controlling symptoms of schizophrenia.

*Pain management:
Lysine serves as an anti-inflammatory agent through inhibition of a compound called cyclooxygenase.

*Diabetes management:
Studies have shown that lysine may be beneficial in reducing blood sugar, although there isn’t sufficient evidence to prove this claim.

*Lysine reduces blood pressure:
A study that included 50 adults with lysine deficiency and high blood pressure concluded that lysine supplements reduced blood pressure.



WHY YOU NEED LYSINE:
Since there are 21 different amino acids, tracking how much you are getting of each one would be a difficult task.
If you are getting adequate protein, you are probably getting enough lysine.
Adults need about 7 grams (g) of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight, so a person weighing 160 pounds would need 56g.

Lysine plays several roles in the body, including two very important ones:
*Lysine helps the body create collagen, which is present in bones and connective tissues such as skin and cartilage.
*Lysine produces carnitine, which converts fatty acids into energy in a process that also lowers cholesterol.
*Lysine is sometimes combined with another amino acid, arginine.

Scientists say that the two amino acids use the same pathways in the body.
Therefore, taking arginine might lower your lysine levels.
As an essential amino acid, lysine is important to health.

1. Muscle Strength
Athletes have used some amino acids, including lysine, in supplement form to increase muscular strength.
Research has failed to prove that lysine improves muscle strength more than strength training alone.
One study of older adults showed that taking a combination of three amino acids, including lysine, improved lean body mass.

2. Bone Health
Lysine can help the body absorb calcium, and it can reduce the amount of calcium lost in your urine.
Researchers have theorized that lysine could prevent osteoporosis, but they have found no evidence that this is true.

3. Mouth Health
Lysine supplements have been used as a treatment for cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus and for canker sores.
Researchers have not found conclusive evidence that lysine is effective for these problems.

4. Anti-anxiety Effects
Some studies have looked at whether supplements of lysine and arginine could reduce anxiety.
In two studies, the subjects showed reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol.



GOOD SOURCES OF LYSINE:
Lysine is concentrated in a number of plant- and animal-based foods, including:
*Red meat
*Fish
*Pork
*Poultry
*Cheeses, like parmesan
*Eggs
*Milk
*Spirulina
*Brewer’s yeast
*Lentils
*Beans
*Peas
*Soy products like soybeans and tofu
*Fenugreek seed



HOW TO TAKE LYSINE:
Most people get enough lysine through their diet.
However, taking lysine supplements could be helpful for people who don’t eat a lot of lysine-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, and beans or for those who are trying to manage a specific condition.

Lysine supplements are most commonly available as capsules and powders.
You can take lysine on its own or you can take it alongside other amino acids, like arginine.



DOSAGE OF LYSINE:
Most lysine supplements come in tablets that have between 500mg and 1,000mg of lysine per dose.
How much you take and for how long depends on body weight and what condition you’re hoping to help.
Usually, lysine supplements are used in doses up to 3,000mg a day for up to one year.
Lysine has been determined to be likely safe in doses up to 3,000mg a day for up to one year and up to 6,000mg a day for up to eight weeks.



SOURCES OF LYSINE:
Lysine is an amino acid found in various protein foods, so most people can get all the lysine they need through their diet.
Since lysine is so widely available in food, taking a food-first approach to getting enough of it is recommended.
Lysine supplements would only be required if recommended by a healthcare professional due to an underlying health issue.
Some people, like those who follow a vegan diet, may have difficulty getting enough lysine.

Food
The best sources of lysine come from animal foods, but it can also be found in some plant-based proteins.
The best way to ensure you're getting enough lysine in your diet is to eat a variety of protein foods, including both animal and plant sources.
The recommended daily intake for lysine is 35 milligrams per kilogram (kg) of body weight.

Non-vegan food sources of lysine include:
*Meat
*Chicken
*Dairy products
*Eggs
*Fish
*Shrimp
*Shellfish

Vegan food sources of lysine include:
*Beans
*Wheat germ
*Lentils
*Nuts
*Seeds
*Soy
*Spirulina
*Supplements

Lysine supplements are available in various forms, including:
*Capsules
*Chewable
*Powders



OTHER POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
Like all amino acids, Lysine is a building block for protein in your body.
These proteins help produce hormones, immune cells, and enzymes.
Lysine may have several benefits in addition to those discussed earlier.
Here are other areas where lysine may benefit your health:

*Eye health:
A 2022 study found that lysine may help dry eye.

*Diabetes:
One 2017 study showed that lysine may help reduce blood sugar response in people with diabetes.

*Blood pressure:
A study in 50 adults with lysine deficiency and high blood pressure found that lysine supplements significantly reduced blood pressure.
Adequate lysine is essential for maintaining your health, and lysine supplements may benefit certain people and conditions.

*Top food sources and supplements
Lysine is found in foods naturally high in protein, including meat and dairy products, and in smaller amounts in plant foods.



FOOD SOURCES OF LYSINE INCLUDE:
*Meat: beef, chicken, and lamb
*Seafood: mussels, prawns, and oysters
*Fish: salmon, cod, and tuna
*Dairy products: milk, cheese, and yogurt
*Legumes: soy, kidney beans, and chickpeas
*Nuts and seeds: pistachios, pumpkin seeds, and cashews

If you’re prone to cold sores, taking 1 g of lysine daily or using a lysine-containing gel may be worth a try, but remember that it’s best to speak to a healthcare professional first.



BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
Lysine is required for important processes such as:
*Growth
*Tissue repair
*Collagen formation
*Calcium absorption
*Antibody, hormone, and enzyme production
*Most people get plenty of lysine through their diets.
*Some people—like athletes, those who are being treated for extensive burns, and those following a vegan diet—may not take in enough lysine through their diet alone to meet their needs.

Supplementation of lysine might help make up for that.
Plus, some studies suggest that taking lysine in supplement form may benefit certain medical conditions.


-Lysine may Prevent Herpes Flares:
Lysine supplements may benefit people who have recurrent infections caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
To replicate, HSV needs the amino acid arginine.
Lysine blocks HSV from using arginine, which prevents the virus from reproducing.
For this reason, taking high doses of supplemental lysine could help reduce the recurrence of HSV lesions like cold sores and genital sores.


-Lysine might Reduce Anxiety:
When combined with the amino acid arginine, lysine may help improve anxiety symptoms.
This may be because the body requires amino acids like lysine and arginine for the production of neurotransmitters—chemical messengers that allow nerve cells to communicate.
Low amino acid intake could lead to an imbalance in neurotransmitters, which could lead to anxiety.


-Lysine may Prevent Mouth Sores:
Lysine is important to collagen formation.
Collagen may be able to help heal mucosal wounds, which are wounds like sores that affect the moist lining of the inside of your mouth.
Taking lysine supplements can help promote collagen production, in turn, decreasing and preventing sores and inflammation (mucositis) from things like radiation or chemotherapy.


-Lysine may Help Lower Blood Pressure
If your diet is low in lysine, taking a lysine supplement may help reduce blood pressure.


-Lysine might Improve Symptoms of Schizophrenia:
Schizophrenia is a mental health disorder that can cause people to hear voices or see things that aren’t there.
One study showed that when used alongside the schizophrenia medication risperidone, daily supplementation with 6g of lysine (two 1-gram capsules three times a day) for eight weeks led to improvements in schizophrenia symptoms.


-Lysine may Increase Muscle Strength:
Some evidence suggests that lysine-rich diets protect against protein breakdown and improve muscle strength.



BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
As a natural disease-fighting agent, Lysine benefits the human body in a variety of ways, many of which are only recently undergoing research.


1. Supports a Healthy Gut:
An extremely common problem that millions of people have, many of whom aren’t even aware of it, is leaky gut syndrome.

This condition is the permeating of your digestive tract lining, allowing larger-than-intended particles to get out of your digestive system and into the rest of your body.
This causes allergic reactions, low energy, joint pain, autoimmune diseases and thyroid disease.

A form of Lysine known as poly-L-lysine very recently was found to have anti-inflammatory effects on the lining of your gut, hopefully leading to more extensive research on how this amino acid may help improve the health of this lining and possibly prevent leaky gut.

Although not necessarily directly linked to leaky gut syndrome, Lysine has also been found to suppress pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas, another important part of the digestive system.


2. Reduces Diabetes-Related Problems:
One of the most difficult things patients with diabetes experience is an increased risk for infection and other diabetes-related conditions.
In the past several years, much attention has been given in this context to the large presence of advanced glycation end products, referred to as AGEs for short.

These AGEs are part of the aging process in the body in all people, but they’re in very high concentrations in diabetic patients.
They’re implicated in many health conditions linked to diabetes, leading scientists to study therapies that involve stopping AGEs from collecting in large numbers.

Studies suggest that one of the Lysine benefits for diabetics may be to prohibit the formation of AGEs in those with diabetes by preventing specific paths of glycation that lead to these products, helping to stave off infection.
Thus, the addition of L-lysine benefits those following a diabetic diet plan if lysine foods are included.


3. Increases Absorption of Calcium:
Consuming Lysine is associated with better absorption of calcium, which leads some to believe that it can help people with or at risk for osteoporosis.

No studies have been done to date on the link between Lysine and osteoporosis, but because of the important role calcium plays in bone health, logic suggests it may be a beneficial nutrient to supplement those with brittle bones.
In fact, calcium is good for more than just your bones.

Consuming appropriate amounts of calcium is associated with:
*healthy weight
*cancer prevention
*PMS symptom reduction
*dental health
*nerve and muscle health
*the prevention of diabetes
Athletes often take L-lysine as a protein supplement to improve performance.
This, too, may be related to the way L-lysine causes your body to absorb calcium.


4. May Decrease Outbreak and Frequency of Cold Sores:
If you’ve heard of Lysine before, it’s probably in conjunction with a natural cold sore remedy.

Cold sores are a result of the herpes simplex-1 virus, also referred to as HSV-1, and around 67 percent of people under 50 are infected with the virus, even if they never display symptoms.
While research is inconsistent on the subject, most individuals who use Lysine to treat cold sores find it to be very effective.

Some studies support that Lysine can help reduce the number of HSV outbreaks someone has, while others say that outbreaks happen at the same frequency but last a shorter period of time.
Experts generally agree that Lysine is unlikely to completely stop outbreaks altogether but may aid in lessening their severity and/or frequency.

One study using a cream combining Lysine with herbs and zinc found that 87 percent of patients saw their cold sores go away by day six of treatment.
This is significant because these outbreaks usually last about 21 days.

The way this nutrient may fight cold sores is not entirely clear, but one such reason may be the way that it interacts with arginine, another amino acid that’s produced in small amounts within the body.

Arginine has been shown to increase the replication rate of herpes virus cells, and high amounts of Lysine in the body decrease the activity of arginine because they work against one another.


5. Reduces Anxiety and Other Psychological Symptoms:
Along with eating foods high in B vitamins, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, you can also try increasing your Lysine intake to minimize anxiety.

Because Lysine may help your body absorb calcium, which is another beneficial nutrient for anxiety sufferers, this may be one of the primary ways in which it helps remedy anxiety.

In addition to helping you absorb calcium more efficiently, Lysine behaves like a serotonin receptor antagonist.
That’s a wordy phrase that means Lysine partially binds to serotonin receptors in order to partially prevent anxiety responses.


6. May Help in the Treatment of Cancer:
Researchers continue to discover more ways that nutrients found in our food and in nature may potentially target malignant cells without killing good ones.
In 2007, scientists at Florida State University studied the effects of “lysine conjugates” on damaged strands of DNA, like the ones found in cancer.

Basically, this substance can locate a damaged strand by identifying “cleavage” in it (a damaged spot) and cause the rest of the strand to cleave (tear apart) as well.

The cell is usually unable to repair this damage, leading to apoptosis, the death of cells.
The more you learn about lysine, the more you realize how fascinating the potential of this treatment is and how it works alongside specific types of light.

The cancer-killing ability of lysine conjugates are only activated when exposed to particular types of light, which allows researchers, and potentially doctors, to inject or place the treatment into the most concentrated location of cancer cells and activate them at their most potentially effective spots.
The scientists conducting the FSU study found results ranging from 25 percent all the way to 90 percent of destroyed cancer cells, which is astounding.



BIOLOGICAL ROLES OF LYSINE:
The most common role for lysine is proteinogenesis.
Lysine frequently plays an important role in protein structure.
Since its side chain contains a positively charged group on one end and a long hydrophobic carbon tail close to the backbone, lysine is considered somewhat amphipathic.

For this reason, lysine can be found buried as well as more commonly in solvent channels and on the exterior of proteins, where it can interact with the aqueous environment.
Lysine can also contribute to protein stability as its ε-amino group often participates in hydrogen bonding, salt bridges and covalent interactions to form a Schiff base.

A second major role of lysine is in epigenetic regulation by means of histone modification.
There are several types of covalent histone modifications, which commonly involve lysine residues found in the protruding tail of histones.

Modifications often include the addition or removal of an acetyl (−CH3CO) forming acetyllysine or reverting to lysine, up to three methyl (−CH3), ubiquitin or a sumo protein group.
The various modifications have downstream effects on gene regulation, in which genes can be activated or repressed.

Lysine has also been implicated to play a key role in other biological processes including; structural proteins of connective tissues, calcium homeostasis, and fatty acid metabolism.
Lysine has been shown to be involved in the crosslinking between the three helical polypeptides in collagen, resulting in its stability and tensile strength.

This mechanism is akin to the role of lysine in bacterial cell walls, in which lysine (and meso-diaminopimelate) are critical to the formation of crosslinks, and therefore, stability of the cell wall.
This concept has previously been explored as a means to circumvent the unwanted release of potentially pathogenic genetically modified bacteria.

It was proposed that an auxotrophic strain of Escherichia coli (X1776) could be used for all genetic modification practices, as the strain is unable to survive without the supplementation of DAP, and thus, cannot live outside of a laboratory environment.
Lysine has also been proposed to be involved in calcium intestinal absorption and renal retention, and thus, may play a role in calcium homeostasis.

Finally, lysine has been shown to be a precursor for carnitine, which transports fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they can be oxidised for the release of energy.

Carnitine is synthesised from trimethyllysine, which is a product of the degradation of certain proteins, as such lysine must first be incorporated into proteins and be methylated prior to being converted to carnitine.

However, in mammals the primary source of carnitine is through dietary sources, rather than through lysine conversion.
In opsins like rhodopsin and the visual opsins (encoded by the genes OPN1SW, OPN1MW, and OPN1LW), retinaldehyde forms a Schiff base with a conserved lysine residue, and interaction of light with the retinylidene group causes signal transduction in color vision.



NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF LYSINE:
Lysine is an essential amino acid in humans.
The human daily nutritional requirement varies from ~60 mg/kg in infancy to ~30 mg/kg in adults.

This requirement is commonly met in a western society with the intake of lysine from meat and vegetable sources well in excess of the recommended requirement.

In vegetarian diets, the intake of lysine is less due to the limited quantity of lysine in cereal crops compared to meat sources.
Given the limiting concentration of lysine in cereal crops, it has long been speculated that the content of lysine can be increased through genetic modification practices.

Often these practices have involved the intentional dysregulation of the DAP pathway by means of introducing lysine feedback-insensitive orthologues of the DHDPS enzyme.
These methods have met limited success likely due to the toxic side effects of increased free lysine and indirect effects on the TCA cycle.

Plants accumulate lysine and other amino acids in the form of seed storage proteins, found within the seeds of the plant, and this represents the edible component of cereal crops.

This highlights the need to not only increase free lysine, but also direct lysine towards the synthesis of stable seed storage proteins, and subsequently, increase the nutritional value of the consumable component of crops.

While genetic modification practices have met limited success, more traditional selective breeding techniques have allowed for the isolation of "Quality Protein Maize", which has significantly increased levels of lysine and tryptophan, also an essential amino acid.

This increase in lysine content is attributed to an opaque-2 mutation that reduced the transcription of lysine-lacking zein-related seed storage proteins and, as a result, increased the abundance of other proteins that are rich in lysine.

Commonly, to overcome the limiting abundance of lysine in livestock feed, industrially produced lysine is added.
The industrial process includes the fermentative culturing of Corynebacterium glutamicum and the subsequent purification of lysine.



DIETARY SOURCES OF LYSINE:
Good sources of lysine are high-protein foods such as eggs, meat (specifically red meat, lamb, pork, and poultry), soy, beans and peas, cheese (particularly Parmesan), and certain fish (such as cod and sardines).

Lysine is the limiting amino acid (the essential amino acid found in the smallest quantity in the particular foodstuff) in most cereal grains, but is plentiful in most pulses (legumes).
Beans contain the lysine that maize lacks, and in the human archeological record beans and maize often appear together, as in the Three Sisters: beans, maize, and squash.

A food is considered to have sufficient lysine if it has at least 51 mg of lysine per gram of protein (so that the protein is 5.1% lysine).
L-lysine HCl is used as a dietary supplement, providing 80.03% L-lysine.
As such, 1 g of L-lysine is contained in 1.25 g of L-lysine HCl.



HEALTH BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
The human body needs lysine for healthy functioning.
Lysine is a crucial component of proteins that play a role in helping body tissue grow and recover from damage.



OTHER BENEFITS OF LYSINE INCLUDE:
*helping the body absorb calcium, iron, and zinc
*promoting collagen growth
*helping produce enzymes, antibodies, and hormones
*supporting the immune system

When people do not get enough lysine, they may experience the following symptoms:
*fatigue
*poor concentration
*irritability
*nausea
*red eyes
*hair loss
*anorexia
*inhibited growth
*anemia
*problems with the reproductive system



HEALTH BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
*Treating herpes
Lysine might help control the herpes virus.
As a result, lysine supplements may reduce the number and frequency of cold sore outbreaks, for which the herpes simplex type 1 virus is responsible.

Lysine can also help with the treatment of genital herpes.
Some sources recommend that people with a history of herpes infections take at least 1,000 milligrams (mg) of lysine supplements a day.
Smaller amounts than this were found to be ineffective.


*Lowering blood pressure
According to one small-scale study, lysine can help reduce high blood pressure in people whose dietary intake of this amino acid is insufficient.
However, more research is necessary before experts can determine whether or not lysine is an effective treatment for high blood pressure.


*Treating diabetes
The results of a small study on 12 healthy volunteers suggest that lysine can slow the rise in blood glucose levels after eating.
This discovery could lead to effective treatments for people with diabetes, but there is still a need for more research.



SOURCES OF LYSINE:
Lysine is present in many different foods.
The primary sources are animal products, such as meat and dairy products.
For vegetarians and vegans, legumes and wheat germ are good sources of this amino acid.

The following foods will help people meet their daily recommended intake of lysine:
*red meat
*chicken
*eggs
*fish, such as cod or sardines
*beans
*lentils
*Parmesan
*cottage cheese
*wheat germ
*nuts
*soybeans
*brewer’s yeast
*spirulina, a type of algae that manufacturers compress and sell in tablet or powder form
Most people, including vegetarians, get enough lysine from their usual diet and do not need to take supplements.



BENEFITS OF LYSINE:
Due to the functions that lysine supports in the body, researchers are interested in the potential of lysine supplements for:
*preventing loss of lean muscle mass and mobility issues in older adults
*relieving anxiety
*preventing bone loss and osteoporosis by helping the body absorb calcium
*promoting the healthy growth of skin
*treating shingles
*moderating blood pressure
*preventing plaque buildup in arteries
*supporting hair growth
*building muscle in bodybuilders
*helping athletes recover from intense workouts



BIOSYNTHESIS OF LYSINE:
Two pathways have been identified in nature for the synthesis of lysine.
The diaminopimelate (DAP) pathway belongs to the aspartate derived biosynthetic family, which is also involved in the synthesis of threonine, methionine and isoleucine, whereas the α-aminoadipate (AAA) pathway is part of the glutamate biosynthetic family.


DAP PATHWAY OF LYSINE:
The DAP pathway is found in both prokaryotes and plants and begins with the dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) (E.C 4.3.3.7) catalysed condensation reaction between the aspartate derived, L-aspartate semialdehyde, and pyruvate to form (4S)-4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(2S)-dipicolinic acid (HTPA).
The product is then reduced by dihydrodipicolinate reductase (DHDPR) (E.C 1.3.1.26), with NAD(P)H as a proton donor, to yield 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate (THDP).

From this point on, four pathway variations have been found, namely the acetylase, aminotransferase, dehydrogenase, and succinylase pathways.
Both the acetylase and succinylase variant pathways use four enzyme catalysed steps, the aminotransferase pathway uses two enzymes, and the dehydrogenase pathway uses a single enzyme.

These four variant pathways converge at the formation of the penultimate product, meso‑diaminopimelate, which is subsequently enzymatically decarboxylated in an irreversible reaction catalysed by diaminopimelate decarboxylase (DAPDC) to produce L-lysine.

The DAP pathway is regulated at multiple levels, including upstream at the enzymes involved in aspartate processing as well as at the initial DHDPS catalysed condensation step.
Lysine imparts a strong negative feedback loop on these enzymes and, subsequently, regulates the entire pathway.


CATABOLISM OF LYSINE:
As with all amino acids, catabolism of lysine is initiated from the uptake of dietary lysine or from the breakdown of intracellular protein.
Catabolism is also used as a means to control the intracellular concentration of free lysine and maintain a steady-state to prevent the toxic effects of excessive free lysine.

There are several pathways involved in lysine catabolism but the most commonly used is the saccharopine pathway, which primarily takes place in the liver (and equivalent organs) in animals, specifically within the mitochondria.
This is the reverse of the previously described AAA pathway.

In animals and plants, the first two steps of the saccharopine pathway are catalysed by the bifunctional enzyme, α-aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase (AASS), which possess both lysine-ketoglutarate reductase (LKR) and SDH activities, whereas in other organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, both of these enzymes are encoded by separate genes.

The first step involves the LKR catalysed reduction of L-lysine in the presence of α-ketoglutarate to produce saccharopine, with NAD(P)H acting as a proton donor.
Saccharopine then undergoes a dehydration reaction, catalysed by SDH in the presence of NAD+, to produce AAS and glutamate.

AAS dehydrogenase (AASD) (E.C 1.2.1.31) then further dehydrates the molecule into AAA.
Subsequently, PLP-AT catalyses the reverse reaction to that of the AAA biosynthesis pathway, resulting in AAA being converted to α-ketoadipate.
The product, α‑ketoadipate, is decarboxylated in the presence of NAD+ and coenzyme A to yield glutaryl-CoA, however the enzyme involved in this is yet to be fully elucidated.

Some evidence suggests that the 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase complex (OADHc), which is structurally homologous to the E1 subunit of the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDHc) (E.C 1.2.4.2), is responsible for the decarboxylation reaction.
Finally, glutaryl-CoA is oxidatively decarboxylated to crotonyl-CoA by glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (E.C 1.3.8.6), which goes on to be further processed through multiple enzymatic steps to yield acetyl-CoA; an essential carbon metabolite involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA).

FRUITS, MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
Macadamia integrifolia is an Australian tree with holly-like leaves that grows well in a moist organic soil and can withstand temperatures as low as −4.4 °C (24 °F).
Seedlings bear in 5–7 years.
The fruit is borne in a case enclosing an extremely hard spherical nut. The kernel is whitish, sweet and eaten raw or roasted.

The flowers are white to cream and the leaves are in whorls of three.
Propagation is by seed, grafting or air layering.
It is grown commercially.

Common names of the trees are the Australian nut or the Queensland nut.
Species that are “smooth shelled macadamia” are called Macadamia integrifolia and “rough shelled macadamia” are called Macadamia tetraphylla.
Macadamia ternifolia is also the name used for M. integrifolia.

Macadamia integrifolia is native to Australia where it grows in rain forests and close to streams.
Macadamia tetraphylla is native to Southeastern Queensland and Northeastern New South Wales.



OIL, MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
Macadamia nut oil content ranges from 65% to 75% and sugar content ranges from 6% to 8%.
These factors result in variable colors and texture when the nuts are roasted under the same conditions.
Macadamia nut oil is liquid at room temperature.

The refined oil, Macadamia nut oil, is clear, lightly amber-colored with a slightly nutty smell.
Macadamia nut oil has a specific gravity of 900–920 and a flash point of over 300 °C (572 °F).
Oil accumulation does not commence until the nuts are fully grown and the shell hardens.

It accumulates rapidly in the kernel during late summer when the reducing sugar content decreases.
The composition of mature, roasted and salted macadamia nuts is shown.
As with many oil seeds, the protein is low in methionine.

Fresh kernels contain up to 4.6% sugar, mostly non-reducing sugar.
Macadamia nut oil consists of mainly unsaturated fatty acids and is similar in both species, although the proportion of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids appears to be slightly higher in M. integrifolia (6.2:1 compared with 4.8:1).

The fatty acid composition and the absence of cholesterol may lead to the promotion of macadamias as a high-energy health food.
The major volatile components in roasted macadamia kernels are apparently similar to those found in other roasted nuts, although little detailed information is available.

FATS IN MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
Macadamia nut oil contains different types of fat, including saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat.
More specifically, the oil contains:
Oleic acid (approximately 55-67%), a monounsaturated fat that can improve cardiovascular health when used in place of saturated fats or refined carbohydrates.

Palmitoleic acid (approximately 18-25%), a monounsaturated fatty acid that may have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and cholesterol metabolism.
Palmitic acid (approximately 7-9%), a saturated fatty acid that may increase LDL cholesterol and have a negative effect on heart health.

Stearic acid (approximately 2-5%), a saturated fatty acid that can decrease LDL cholesterol (although not as effectively as unsaturated fats).
Linoleic acid (approximately 1-4%), or omega-6 fatty acids, these polyunsaturated fats are sometimes associated with weight loss, although evidence is lacking.

You'll also consume some polyunsaturated fat with consumption of Macadamia nut oil.
Research has shown that these essential fatty acids can help lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease.
Nutrition experts recommend that you get 3-10% of your daily calories from polyunsaturated fat.

The saturated fat in Macadamia nut oil (stearic acid) may have a beneficial effect on heart health, but in general, health experts recommend that we decrease our intake of saturated fat and consume mono- and polyunsaturated fats instead.
There is no carbohydrate or protein in Macadamia nut oil.



HEALTH BENEFITS OF MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
According to fans of the product, Macadamia nut oil benefits the skin and hair and can provide anti-aging advantages to people who use it. Specifically, Macadamia nut oil is used topically to:

*Soften and moisturize aging skin
*Heal mild wounds
*Provide antioxidant benefits
*Soften hair and produce a shinier appearance

Some of these applications are supported by scientific evidence, but very few studies have been conducted on the cosmetic uses of Macadamia nut oil.
However, a recent review of related literature found that the fatty acid composition of Macadamia nut oil has potential in the cosmetic industry.

Macadamia nut oil can also be used for cooking.
Replacing saturated fat, such as lard or butter with an unsaturated fat such as Macadamia nut oil, may boost heart health.

Macadamia Nut Oil is made up of about 80% mono-unsaturated fatty acids.
With its high levels of palmitoleic acid, Macadamia nut oil penetrates the skin easily while leaving behind a protective film, making it ideal for delicate skin.

Macadamia nut oil is also very rich in oleic acid, which has emollient properties. It makes the skin soft, supple, and more radiant.
Macadamia nut oil moisturizes and nourishes dry skin and prevents the peroxidation of cellular lipids.




MACADAMIA NUT OIL HEALTH BENEFITS:
*Heart health improves with monounsaturated oils:
Macadamia nut oil contains one of the highest levels of monounsaturated fats amongst all food oils, and at 84%, is even higher than Olive Oil.
And while Macadamia nut oil may sound bad to have high levels of fat, it is the type of fat that matters.
These types of fats (monounsaturated) actually help to lower the bad type of cholesterol (saturated).

This is great for heart health because LDL cholesterol (the bad type) contributes to plaque in the arteries, and the HDL cholesterol (the good type), carries the LDL type back to the liver, where it is broken down and passed through the body.
This lowers your bad cholesterol and results in less chance of heart disease or stroke.

Macadamia nut oil gives great results for your skin
The great thing about using macadamia nut oil for your skin is it can be taken internally or topically for great results.
Each drop is rich in essential fatty acids, such as palmitoleic acid, which helps prevent premature aging, and Oleic Acid, which helps to prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), making it perfect for moisturizing dry, sensitive skin.

Macadamia nut oil is also high in phytosterols, which are the building blocks of our cellular membrane and structure.
Phytosterols work the same way that cholesterol does in our skin, which is one of the reasons why macadamia nut oil is known to help repair the skin’s barrier function.

Healthy Hair is given an extra boost with macadamia nut oil
Hair follicles produce natural sebum which contains palmitoleic, one of the aforementioned fatty acids.
As we grow older, our body produces less and less of this substance, and as a result, our hair begins to lose its strength and shine.

As macadamia nut oil contains a high proportion of this omega-7 monounsaturated fat, it gives the hair an extra boost, either when ingested or rubbed into the hair directly.


*Macadamia nut oil contains natural antioxidants:
Macadamia nut oil is also very high in natural antioxidants and contains Omega 3 and Omega 6, which can have a powerful effect on the overall health of the body.

Antioxidants fight off free radicals, dangerous atoms in the body which have a spare electron and want to attach to something.
They are dangerous because once they attach to you, they can corrupt your DNA, causing cancer.
A healthy balance of antioxidants can reduce cancer risk, slow the aging process and lessen the risk of vision loss due to cataracts and macular degeneration.

Macadamia nut oil is a great source of fiber to increase energy levels
Like most nuts, macadamia nuts are a reliable source of fiber and calories.
Just a dozen nuts (30 grams) contain about 10 percent of your daily fiber needs.

Fiber is important in your daily diet because Macadamia nut oil not only aids digestion but also slows the rate at which sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Their high-calorie content also gives a boost of energy “on the go”, perfect if you don’t have time to stop for a meal.

Highly stable to oxidation, Refined Macadamia Nut Oil offers exceptionally good emolliency and it absorbs well into the skin.
Macadamia nut oil will not stain clothing, making it an ideal massage or tanning oil while divinely imparting a slightly nutty aroma.
Macadamia nut oil is a light amber, mobile liquid.

Macadamia nut oil helps nourish the skin and works as a great moisturiser.


3. Macadamia nut oil Prevents Premature Wrinkles:
Macadamia nut oil also contains a rare antioxidant called squalene that helps prevent premature formation of wrinkles on your skin, by shooting up the regeneration of skin keratinocytes.

Apart from palmitoleic acid, another acid in macadamia nut oil that helps keep the skin hydrated and supple is linoleic acid.
Macadamia nut oil benefits baby skin, mature skin, dry skin, hence it is a useful ingredient in eye creams and lip balms as it has great levels of hydration.

So, the moisturisation that Macadamia nut oil provides transforms your lifeless hair into fresh and healthy-looking hair without weighing it down.


6. Macadamia nut oil Hydrates the Scalp and Regenerates Scalp Skin:
Macadamia nut oil has the ability to regularise the oil production of the scalp, hence keeping the scalp and hair moisturised at all times.
As mentioned earlier, Macadamia nut oil contains linoleic acid that helps restore skin barrier function, while oleic acid regenerates scalp skin, softens it by moisturisation and nourishment.

PRODUCTION AND EXTRACTION OF MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
The Macadamia tree is an evergreen tree that belongs to the plant family Proteaceae, which is indigenous to Australia and can grow to 12 metres in height.
Macadamia nut trees have been a major small-holder crop in Kenya for the last 30 years.
The tropical climate found around the equator in Kenya, along with the fertile soils found in the Kenyan highlands, makes for ideal Macadamia growing conditions.

Fairoils conducts all macadamia processing at our Athi River facility, south of Nairobi, Kenya.
The very hard exterior shell of the Macadamia nut is cracked (and retained) to extract the oil-rich kernel.
Fairoils then cold presses on purpose-built oil presses to produce a pure & natural macadamia nut oil.

Macadamia nut oil is double-filtered before being stored in large stainless-steel tanks capped with nitrogen, to preclude oxidation.
Kenya is a major food-grade kernel exporter into the US & Europe.
The very selective nature of the export industry means a large portion of nuts are rejected.

Fairoils provides these farmers a valuable second income stream by offering them a market for their rejected nuts.
The main harvest season in Kenya is from March to August, but often kernel exporters hold large volumes of nuts allowing for rejected kernels to be available until October/ November.

The macadamia kernel has a very high oil content yielding 58% to 60% of oil by weight. Macadamia nut oil contains one of the highest levels of monounsaturated fats amongst all food-grade oils including Olive Oil.
Macadamia nut oil is rich in essential fatty acids and also contains Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 7.



HEALTHY FATS OF MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
Macadamia nut oil has one of the highest concentrations of monounsaturated fats (oleic acid) of available oils.
This incredible omega-9 fat, oleic acid, helps maintain a healthy heart. In fact, Macadamia nut oil's considered the gold standard for optimizing the health of our internal environment.
Macadamia nut oil is so high in monounsaturated fats (84-85% by weight) that it even surpasses extra virgin olive oil (65-74% by weight).



IDEAL RATIO OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS, MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
Macadamia nut oil has a perfect ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids, 1:1.
Our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate an equal balance (1:1 ratio) of linoleic acid (Omega-6) to alpha linolenic acid (Omega-3) essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Junk food, rampant vegetable oil use, and the feeding of grain to food animals (even fish) have resulted in our current consumption ratios rising to a scary 20:1 ratio.



GREAT FOR COOKING, MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
Macadamia nut oil has an extremely high smoke point (410 degrees), which means it's excellent for stir-fry and baking.
Olive oil has a much lower smoke point (325 degrees or less) and Macadamia nut oil degrades when used in cooking.
Macadamia nut oil has a sweet buttery taste, is resistant to oxidation, and is extremely high in vitamin E (four times higher than olive oil) making it the ideal heart-healthy, performance-enhancing, fat.



BENEFITS OF MACADAMIA NUT OIL:
Macadamia nut oil is cold pressed from the nut of the macadamia tree, an evergreen with white to pink and purple flowers, which is native to Australia.
Most of the commercially cultivated Macadamia ternifolia trees are now located in Hawaii and East Africa.
The macadamia nut oil is high in omega 7, palmitic acid (22%) which is excellent for treating dry, mature and damaged skin.

Macadamia nut oil's hydrating effects are long lasting and the moisture is retained for many hours.
If used on its own, Macadamia nut oil may feel a little heavy with its oily, protective barrier on the skin.
Macadamia nut oil can be combined in massage blends and skincare formulations with one of the lighter oils, such as apricot or grapeseed, to reduce heaviness and increase absorption.


The rich, ‘cushiony’ feel of Macadamia nut oil is a quality that is particularly useful where a heavier cream is desired, such as highly emollient creams and sun lotions.
Its ability to leave a silky, non-greasy finish also makes Macadamia nut oil popular in hair products for smoothing the cuticle and leaving a lustrous shine.

As far as nuts go macadamia nuts are king because they are highest in healthy monounsaturated fats and lowest in inflammatory omega-6 fats.
Macadamia nut oil is an extremely stable oil, with a longer shelf life than many other cold pressed oils.
The stability, together with its emollient quality and similarity to human sebum, make Macadamia nut oil a popular ingredient in cosmetics, especially skincare formulas.

Macadamia nut oil is not only nutritious in terms of its oils, but in its host of vitamins – A, B1, B2, B6, C and E – and its mineral content.
Macadamia nut oil’s phytosterol content is attributed with aiding skin recovery, reducing itchiness and inflammation (like a ‘natural cortisone’).

Macadamia integrifolia is native to Australia where it grows in rain forests and close to streams. Macadamia tetraphylla is native to Southeastern Queensland and Northeastern New South Wales. The oil content ranges from 65% to 75% and sugar content ranges from 6% to 8%. These factors result in variable colors and texture when the nuts are roasted under the same conditions.[2] Macadamia oil is liquid at room temperature. The refined oil is clear, lightly amber-colored with a slightly nutty smell. It has a specific gravity of 900–920 and a flash point of over 300 °C (572 °F).[3] Oil accumulation does not commence until the nuts are fully grown and the shell hardens. It accumulates rapidly in the kernel during late summer when the reducing sugar content decreases. The composition of mature, roasted and salted macadamia nuts is shown. As with many oil seeds, the protein is low in methionine. Fresh kernels contain up to 4.6% sugar, mostly non-reducing sugar. The oil consists of mainly unsaturated fatty acids and is similar in both species, although the proportion of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids appears to be slightly higher in M. integrifolia (6.2:1 compared with 4.8:1). The fatty acid composition and the absence of cholesterol may lead to the promotion of macadamias as a high-energy health food. The major volatile components in roasted macadamia kernels are apparently similar to those found in other roasted nuts, although little detailed information is available.[4] Uses in food Macadamia oil can be used for frying due to its high heat capacity along with other properties useful as an edible oil:[citation needed] It contains up to 85% monounsaturated fats It has an unrefrigerated shelf life of one to two years It has a smoke point of 210 °C (410 °F) Has a flashpoint of over 300 °C (572 °F) Nutritive value (g/100g) of macadamia nuts roasted in oil and salted.[4] Macadamia oil contains approximately 60% oleic acid, 19% palmitoleic acid, 1-3% linoleic acid and 1-2% α-linolenic acid. The oil displays chemical properties typical of a vegetable triglyceride oil, as it is stable due to its low polyunsaturated fat content.[9] Macadamia oil (or macadamia nut oil) is the non-volatile oil collected from the nut meat of the macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) tree, a native Australian nut. It is used in food as a frying or salad oil, and in cosmetic formulations as an emollient or fragrance fixative. What is Macadamia oil? Macadamia oil is pressed from the macadamia and is prized for its high smoke point (410d degrees) as well as being high in monounsaturated fats. This oil is produced in small amounts in Hawaii with larger production in Australia. In addition to culinary uses macadamia oil is also used in cosmetics and personal care products. Where To Buy Macadamia Oil You can find this oil at special food stores. Whole Foods Market sometimes stocks it. you can also purchase it online at Amazon.com Macadamia Oil. Substitute for Macadamia oil If you don't have macadamia oil you can susbstitute avocado oil (smoke point 520F) The health benefits of macadamia oil Cooking and eating Topical skin application Natural hair conditioner Summary If you buy something through a link on this page, we may earn a small commission. How this works. Macadamia oil is a clear, light-yellow liquid that comes from pressed macadamia nuts. It is a healthful oil that people use for cooking, and there may also be health benefits of using pure oil to moisturize the skin and condition the hair. Macadamia nuts grow on macadamia trees, which are native to Australia. Similarly to olive oil, macadamia oil is a liquid at room temperature. People use this oil in cooking and health and beauty applications. Macadamia oil is rich in nutrients, including healthful fatty acids and potassium. For this reason, many people believe that macadamia oil has a range of health benefits. In this article, we discuss three uses of macadamia oil and their potential health benefits. 1. Cooking and eating Macadamia oil can substitute for other oils in many dishes. A person can use macadamia oil as a substitute for other oils in many dishes. With a higher smoke point than some other oils, such as olive oil, it is perfect for sautéing, roasting, and grilling. Its mild flavor also makes macadamia oil a good choice for baked goods or as an appropriate base for salad dressings and marinades. Benefits Macadamia oil offers several potential health benefits when a person uses it in cooking and as part of a balanced and healthful diet. These include: Heart health Consuming macadamia oil may support heart health. It has high levels of monounsaturated fat. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), monounsaturated fats can lower levels of bad cholesterol, which, in turn, can reduce a person’s risk of heart attack and stroke. Antioxidants Macadamia oil is a source of antioxidants. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, free radicals in the body can cause oxidative stress. This may play a role in aging and the development of a number of diseases, including cancer. Consuming antioxidants, however, may help counter these free radicals. Macadamia oil is also rich in oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid that has antioxidant properties. A 2016 study in rats suggests that taking oleic acid supplements may help protect against the effects of oxidative stress. Other studies indicate that oleic acid consumption may have a beneficial effect on cancer and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings. Vitamin E Macadamia oil also contains substances called tocotrienols, which are part of the vitamin E family. Research indicates that vitamin E and tocotrienols are potent antioxidants that may protect against cancer and a variety of other health conditions, including cardiovascular and neurological diseases. 2. Topical skin application Macadamia oil is an ingredient in many skin care products, but can a person also apply the pure oil directly to the skin. It is important to test the oil on a small area of the skin first. Although macadamia oil is generally safe, some people may develop a rash after applying it directly to the skin. People with tree nut allergies should avoid using macadamia oil. Benefits Macadamia oil is a common ingredient in skin care products. Some people claim that there are health benefits to applying macadamia oil to the skin. These benefits include moisturization and the prevention of wrinkles and skin damage. However, the evidence for these benefits is largely anecdotal or indirect. The vitamin E present in macadamia oil has many properties that may benefit a person’s skin. For example, it absorbs easily, making it a good moisturizer for very dry skin. However, be aware that applying macadamia oil directly to the skin may clog pores and lead to breakouts of acne. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can damage the DNA in a person’s skin. Test tube studies suggest that applying vitamin E to the skin may protect against this damage.

Similarly to using olive oil, a person can take a small amount of the oil and rub it directly into their hair. It is generally best to let the oil soak into the hair for a short amount of time before rinsing out the excess. Benefits People who use macadamia oil as a hair conditioner claim that it can help: strengthen hair smooth hair add shine make hair more manageable Again, the evidence for these benefits is largely anecdotal. Summary People often overlook macadamia oil for cooking, but it is a healthful source of unsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants. Macadamia oil also has a higher smoke point than many other fats and oils, including olive oil. This makes it a good choice for sautéing, roasting, and grilling. Some people also use pure macadamia oil as a skin moisturizer and hair conditioner, claiming that topical application has a number of health benefits. However, most of the evidence for these benefits is largely anecdotal or indirect. Macadamia oil is generally safe to use in both cooking and on the hair and skin. However, people with nut allergies should avoid using macadamia oil. A range of pure macadamia oil and macadamia oil-containing products are available to buy online. Macadamia Oil for Hair Benefits Risks How to use Effectiveness vs. other oils Takeaway If you buy something through a link on this page, we may earn a small commission. How this works. Overview According to some, macadamia oil can calm, smooth, and add shine to hair when topically applied. Macadamia oil comes from the nuts of macadamia trees. It has a clear, light yellow appearance. Unlike coconut oil, it’s liquid at room temperature. Macadamia oil is rich in fatty acids and potassium. Its concentration of palmitoleic acid, in particular, makes it a popular ingredient in cosmetic products that are meant to smooth skin and hair. Macadamia oil is popular in its pure, cold-pressed form as a cooking oil and as a hair-styling product. Macadamia oil is also found in hair masks, skin lotions, and face creams. What are the benefits? Macadamia oil can strengthen hair Macadamia oil penetrates hair more efficiently than some other oils, like mineral oil. Mineral oil can build up on your scalp. Over time, it can make your hair feel heavier and look duller. But vegetable and fruit oils (for example, coconut oilTrusted Source) have been found to penetrate the hair follicles more effectively. Macadamia oil shares this property. When macadamia oil binds to the hair shaft and infuses it with fatty acids, your hair follicles may be left stronger and healthier. Macadamia oil also contains antioxidants, which help hair to recover from environmental exposure to things like pollutants in the air. Macadamia oil can smooth hair The emollient qualities of macadamia oil can help smooth hair, giving it a shinier appearance. Anecdotally, hair that’s treated daily with macadamia oil may hold its sheen and become glossier over time. Macadamia oil can make curly hair more manageable Macadamia oil is especially popular for curly hair. Curly hair types can be especially vulnerable to damage from the environment. Curly hair that’s dried out and damaged is very hard to style and can break easily. But macadamia oil helps restore moisture to the hair shaft, locks it in, and adds natural protein to the hair. Curly hair that’s properly moisturized is easier to untangle and style. Are there any risks? Macadamia oil is a safe ingredient for almost everyone to use on their hair. If you’re allergic to tree nuts, it’s possible that you’ll have an allergic reaction to macadamia oil. However, the oil contains less of the tree nut proteins that trigger a reaction, so there’s also a chance that you won’t react to it. Otherwise, using macadamia oil for long-term hair treatment shouldn’t cause problems with your hair or scalp. If you have a history of allergies or are concerned about an allergic reaction to macadamia oil, do a patch test of the oil on your skin before trying a full application. Put a small amount on a dime-sized spot on the inside of your arm. If there’s no reaction in 24 hours, it should be safe to use. If you do develop allergy symptoms, discontinue use. Using macadamia oil as a treatment You can use macadamia oil on your hair using several methods. You might want to start by trying pure macadamia oil on your hair to add shine after blow-drying or straightening it. It’s not a good idea to apply macadamia oil to your hair before heat styling because the oil may damage your hair if it’s heated above a certain temperature. Take a dime-sized dollop of virgin, cold-pressed macadamia oil. Rub it between your palms and then smooth it throughout your hair. Pay careful attention to getting the oil to the ends of your hair to help repair split ends and damage. Pure macadamia oil can be purchased in a small amount specifically for this purpose. Shop for these products here. You can also purchase or make your own deep-conditioning hair mask using macadamia oil. Mix macadamia oil with a fresh avocado and let it sit on your hair for 15 minutes. Then rinse your hair well. This may thoroughly moisturize your hair while restoring essential proteins. If you’d rather buy something than make your own, shop online for hair masks now. Shampoos and conditioners that contain macadamia are also easy to purchase online. Does it work? Macadamia oil should make hair look shinier and stronger within one application. If you continue use, the consistency of your hair may change to be healthier and easier to maintain. For curly hair and natural hair types, macadamia oil may be an especially valuable tool to combat frizz and flyaways. But we don’t have solid clinical evidence to understand the mechanism that makes macadamia oil work. Macadamia oil vs. other oils Macadamia oil contains high concentrations of palmitoleic acid. This makes it unique in comparison to the other tree nut and plant oils, many of which are richer in linoleic acid. Macadamia oil is much more expensive to purchase and use than coconut oil, avocado oil, and Moroccan oil. While it promises similar results, we have less research to tell us how macadamia oil influences hair strength and health. Compared to other popular hair oil treatments, macadamia oil is one of the lesser studied plant oils. It would appear, though, that macadamia oil is one of the more efficient treatments for curly or natural types of hair. The takeaway Macadamia oil is rich in fatty acids that bind to hair and make it stronger and easier to manage. For certain hair types, macadamia oil may very well be a “miracle ingredient” that hydrates hair without making it appear heavy. But the evidence we have about macadamia oil and how well it works is almost completely anecdotal. We need more information to understand how macadamia oil works and who it works for. If you’d like to try topical macadamia oil, there is very little risk of an allergic reaction, even if you have a tree nut allergy. But discontinue use of any product if you experience hives, a fever, raised skin bumps, or clogged pores after treatment. The Top 4 Health Benefits of Macadamia Oil Jun 14 You’re standing in the grocery store staring at eight rows of shelves trying to decide which bottle of cooking oil to buy. Do you stick with olive oil? Branch out to avocado oil? Try your hand at MCT oil? And then, you see it... Macadamia oil. Macadamia nuts are delicious, and, as it turns out, the many benefits of the vitamins and minerals in macadamia nuts are passed down to its oil. No wonder they’re the highest ranked healthiest nut. From its role in supporting skin and heart health to other ways you can use this amazing oil, here's why it should be in your kitchen (and maybe bathroom cabinet as well). Table of Contents Infamous Macadamia Nuts Top 4 Health (And Beauty) Benefits of Macadamia Oil Few, If Any, Side Effects Are You a Believer? Nutrition of Macadamia Nuts If you've ever visited Hawaii, you probably picked up that brown box of chocolates with gold writing. Who knew those chocolate-covered macadamia nuts were nearly a superfood, right? Macadamia nuts originated in Australia but were transplanted to Hawaii in 1881 (thank you, William Purvis). It took a while to raise healthy enough trees to produce nuts to commercially harvest a viable crop. But the commercial industry eventually took off in 1934. Nowadays, 90% of macadamia nuts come from Hawaii [*]. Nutritional Information Macadamia oil is essentially just as healthy as whole nuts, minus small amounts of the fiber and protein. But all the healthy fats are pretty much squeezed out in their oil. Here’s a snapshot of the calorie profile from one ounce (28 grams) of whole roasted macadamia nuts [*]: Yes, they pack some calories but are totally worth it because they’re loaded with important vitamins and nutrients like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and manganese [*]. Top Benefits of Macadamia Oil 1. Provides Quality Fats Nuts are high in healthy fats -- especially macadamia nuts. That’s what sets them apart from other foods. They’re made up of nearly 60% monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fats have been shown to have a number of health benefits, including [*]: Supports weight loss Research has shown that dietary fat can support reduced appetite and suppressed caloric intake [*]. This means that subjects had a lower tendency to overeat calories when they consumed more fat. With high levels of fat, adding macadamia oil to your cooking (or morning coffee) may keep you fuller for longer periods of time, reducing the chances that you might overeat. Promotes heart health Monounsaturated fats help lower cholesterol and decrease triglycerides (fat in the blood) with its high content of oleic acid. This helps to essentially rebalance the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and may support a reduced risk of heart disease [*]. Improves insulin sensitivity A study conducted on 162 healthy men and women substituting a diet high in saturated fats for monounsaturated fats found they had improved insulin sensitivity without affecting insulin secretion levels [*]. Provides antioxidants Macadamia oil possesses vitamin E, which is not only an essential nutrient for eye health [*], but also a powerful antioxidant that combats free radicals in the body [*]. Below is the nutrition label for FBOMB's Cold Pressed Macadamia Oil. Made with just the oil from macadamia nuts and vitamin E, you can see how macadamia oil can be a great source of these antioxidants. Macadamia oil nutrition This oil also contains tocotrienols. According to research, these antioxidants may support a reduced risk of some cancers [*]. 2. Improves the Appearance of Skin We can all agree that having great skin as a side effect of eating healthy is a huge bonus. In addition to having high levels of oleic acids which are important for heart health, macadamia oil is also high in palmitoleic acid. This is an omega-7 fatty acid. Research has shown that palmitoleic acid may support skin health and hydration. and improve skin elasticity when consumed [*]. You can also put it on your skin to hydrate it. Win/win! 3. Moisturizes and Deep Conditions Hair Palmitoleic acid isn't just good for your skin. It's also great for your hair. Apply the oil directly on your hair and scalp to moisturize your locks and boost shine while reducing dandruff. You don't have to buy expensive deep conditioner products ever again. 4. Boosts Flavor While Cooking Have you tasted macadamia nuts? The flavor is buttery, nutty, and unreal. So obviously one of the biggest benefits of cooking with macadamia oil is the flavor! With a rich taste that lends itself to marinades and dressings, it's delicious chilled and drizzled over a crisp cold salad. The smoke point of macadamia oil is 407°F, which is about double the smoke point of olive oil at 207°F [*]. That means it’s a great cooking oil and doesn’t burn as easily. This oil excels when you grill or sauté with it. Side Effects of Macadamia Oil There are few, if any, side effects of this oil, and the ones that do exist are typically experienced by those who overindulge a bit too much. If you limit yourself to a couple of tablespoons per day, you shouldn't experience any issues. Constipation Allergic Reaction Weight Gain: While loaded with healthy fats, a caloric surplus invariably leads to weight gain. If you're concerned about consuming macadamia oil, check with your doctor or medical practitioner. Incorporate Macadamia Oil into Your Daily Diet Macadamia oil (like the nut) is nearly a superfood and easy to cook with. It’s loaded with quality fats, antioxidants, and fatty acids and, at the very least, it tastes amazing. Not sure if you'll like it? Try FBOMB’s 100% Pure Macadamia Oil in small portion sizes. 5 proven health benefits of our macadamia oil Olivado’s extra virgin Macadamia oil is made from the highest quality nuts from Australia’s sunshine state, Queensland. Here are 5 ways macadamia oil can enrich your diet and lifestyle. HOME BLOG 5 PROVEN HEALTH BENEFITS OF OUR MACADAMIA OIL AUTHOR The Olivado TeamDATE October 11, 2017 Share Tweet Pin Email Macadamia nuts are some of the most sought-after in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. As well as being delicious, they are packed with nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. As well as a food source, their husks can be used for fertiliser, the oil is used for a variety of products in the cosmetic industry, and the rest can be used as animal feed. Indigenous to Australia, it wasn’t until the late 19th Century that the nut was grown outside of Queensland, when William H. Purvis brought the nut to Hawaii. Even then it was well into the 20th Century before an industry started to grow around this remarkable food. But it’s not simply a tasty snack. There are surprising health benefits to the macadamia nut that add to a healthy lifestyle. Macadamia nuts Heart health improves with monounsaturated oils Our cold-pressed extra virgin macadamia oil contains one of the highest levels of monounsaturated fats amongst all food oils, and at 84%, is even higher than Olive Oil. And while it may sound bad to have high levels of fat, it is the type of fat that matters. These types of fats (monounsaturated) actually help to lower the bad type of cholesterol (saturated). This is great for heart health, because LDL cholesterol (the bad type) contributes to plaque in the arteries, and the HDL cholesterol (the good type), carries the LDL type back to the liver, where it is broken down and passed through the body. This lowers your bad cholesterol and results in less chance of heart disease or stroke. Macadamia oil gives great results for your skin The great thing about using macadamia oil for your skin is it can be taken internally or topically for great results. Each drop is rich in essential fatty acids, such as palmitoleic acid, which helps prevent premature aging, and Oleic Acid, which helps to prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), making it perfect for moisturising dry, sensitive skin. Macadamia oil is also high in phytosterols, which are the building blocks of our cellular membrane and structure. Phytosterols work the same way that cholesterol does in our skin, which is one of the reasons why macadamia oil is known to help repair the skin’s barrier function. Macadamia not oil for hair Healthy Hair is given an extra boost with macadamia oil Hair follicles produce a natural sebum which contains palmitoleic, one of the aforementioned fatty acids. As we grow older, our body produces less and less of this substance, and as a result, our hair begins to lose its strength and shine. As macadamia oil contains a high proportion of this omega-7 monounsaturated fat, it gives the hair an extra boost, either when ingested or rubbed into the hair directly. Macadamia oil contains natural antioxidants Macadamia oil is also very high in natural antioxidants and contains Omega 3 and Omega 6, which can have a powerful effect on the overall health of the body. Antioxidants fight off free radicals, dangerous atoms in the body which have a spare electron and want to attach to something. They are dangerous because once they attach onto you, they can corrupt your DNA, causing cancer. A healthy balance of antioxidants can reduce cancer risk, slow the ageing process and lessen the risk of vision loss due to cataracts and macular degeneration. Macadamia oil is a great source of fibre to increase energy levels Like most nuts, macadamia nuts are a reliable source of fibre and calories. Just a dozen nuts (30 grams) contain about 10 percent of your daily fibre needs. Fibre is important in your daily diet because it not only aids digestion, but also slows the rate that sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream. Their high calorie content also gives a boost of energy “on the go”, perfect if you don’t have time to stop for a meal.

What can compare to the sweet, buttery mac nut’s tender embrace? As far as nuts, seeds, and pseudo-nuts go, its fatty acid profile is unparalleled. Throw a handful into a bowl of Greek yogurt, along with blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries (or any berry, really), and you’ve got yourself a rich, masterful dessert with minimal linoleic acid. And it’s got good amounts of magnesium, manganese, thiamine, copper, and iron. Pack a baggy full and you’ve got yourself the perfect trail food for day long hikes. Suffice it to say, they’re my go-to snack when I’m feeling a bit peckish throughout the day. But that’s not why I’m here today – to extoll the virtues of the macadamia nut. I tend to get a little carried away when it comes to those little mouth bombs of satiety, so I apologize. Today’s post concerns the mac nut’s lifeblood: macadamia oil. I know what I’ve said about seed oils in the past, but this is different. I liken the concept of macadamia oil to that of olive oil; they are inherently, obviously, blatantly fatty foods, and extracting said fat isn’t a stretch, nor does it require industrial solvents and complex processes (they may do so to increase production and efficiency, but you can crush a mac nut and leave an oily residue; you can’t do the same for a kernel of corn to produce corn oil). In fact, the layman extracts his own virgin, first-press macadamia oil every time he bites into one. You can feel the macadamia oil droplets oozing out of the obliterated nut mass and into your mouth. Being the most energy (specifically, fat-derived energy) dense nut of all, it’s totally saturated with the stuff. Macadamia oil imparts a mild, buttery, rather macadamia-y flavor to foods, but it’s mild enough to use for homemade mayonnaise. It is highly shelf-stable and resistant to heat-induced oxidation; in one test, it bested rice bran oil, walnut oil, sesame oil, almond oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and hazelnut oil in an oxidative potential test. Of all the seed and nut oils, macadamia oil withstood temperatures up to 120 degrees C (about 250 degrees F) without significant oxidation. It also excelled at the shelf stability test, being the only oil tested that exceeded the manufacturer’s given “best-before” date. I rarely expect companies to be totally accurate, but to be completely wrong in the opposite direction is a nice surprise! Keep your macadamia oil in a dark bottle and in the fridge, or a cool dark place, and I bet it’ll stay fresh even longer. I’m still wary of doing any heavy duty sauteeing or high heat grilling using macadamia oil as the primary fat, but it looks to be pretty stable as far as oils go with a smoke point of anywhere between 210 and 234 degrees C (410-453 degrees F), depending on who you ask. Macadamia oil owes its stability mostly to its extremely low omega-6 fatty acid content (the lowest of all traditional cooking oils, next to coconut oil), high monounsaturated fatty acid content (it runs over 80% MUFA, mostly oleic acid, which is higher than olive oil’s content), and a decent portion of saturated fat (around 16%, which is pretty good for a nut oil). Omega-6 linoleic acid is the most unstable, so having almost none of it makes macadamia oil superior to most. Macadamia oil also contains varying amounts of antioxidants which appear to confer some antioxidative (surprise, surprise) support. One study of vitamin E in Hawaiian cultivars found that while the tocopherol content was basically nonexistent, comparatively higher amounts of tocotrienols (T3) were detected in samples of macadamia oil extracts, including appreciable amounts of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-tocotrienols (no delta-tocotrienols were found). Though the bioavailability of tocotrienols after oral ingestion is lower than that of tocopherols, tocotrienols are more potent antioxidants. Besides, we should be focused on reducing oxidation of the fat we’re about to consume, rather than consume oxidized fats and then try to mitigate the damage by consuming antioxidants. Tocotrienols in macadamia oil seem to achieve that. Consider that walnut oil contains some of the highest levels of tocopherols and yet is the most prone to rancidity and oxidation. Don’t think that tocotrienols are totally useless orally, though; orally ingested tocotrienols have evinced bioavailability in a number of tissues and organs. That same study also found that macadamia oils are rich sources of squalene, a naturally occurring antioxidant present in human skin surface lipids that protects us from sun-induced lipid peroxidation. It’s primarily used in our bodies to synthesize both cholesterol and vitamin D, but its role in macadamia nuts may be to prevent oxidative damage – kinda like how it does to our skin cell lipids. At any rate, it’s a complex relationship, the one between fatty acid profile, antioxidant content, and stability, but it can be said with reasonable certainty that monounsaturated fats are more stable than polyunsaturated fats, and antioxidants play some role in oxidative protection of fats.

The reagents used in this invention included Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate, magnesium hydroxide, and water.

Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate is commonly used as a source of magnesium or for the acetate ion in chemistry experiments.
One example of Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate is when magnesium acetate and magnesium nitrate were both used to perform molecular dynamics simulations and surface tension measurements.
In the experiment the authors found that the acetate had a stronger affinity for the surface compared to the nitrate ion and that the Mg2+ strongly repelled away from the air/liquid interference.
They also found that the Mg2+ had a stronger tendency to bind with the acetate ion compared to the nitrate.

One of the more prevalent uses of Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate is in the mixture called calcium magnesium acetate (CMA).
Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate is a mixture of calcium acetate and magnesium acetate.
Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate is thought of as an environmentally friendly alternative deicer to NaCl and CaCl2.
Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate also acts as a powerful SO2, NOx, and toxic particulate emission control agent in coal combustion processes to reduce acid rain, and as an effective catalyst for the facilitation of coal combustion.

Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate has been found to cause a conformational change in Escherichia coli enzyme Primase.
In this experiment Mg(OAc)2, MnCl2, CaCl2, NaOAc, LiCl, MgSO4 and MgCl2 were all compared to see what effect they had on the Escherichia coli enzyme Primase.

Magnesium Hydroxide is available under the following different brand names: Milk of Magnesia.



USES and APPLICATIONS of MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE:
As an antacid, Magnesium Hydroxide is used for the temporary relief of heartburn, upset stomach, sour stomach or acid indigestion.
As a laxative, Magnesium Hydroxide is used for the relief of occasional constipation by promoting bowel movements for 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
Magnesium hydroxide can be used as an antacid or a laxative in either an oral liquid suspension or chewable tablet form.

Magnesium Hydroxide can also be used topically as a deodorant or for the relief of canker sores (aphthous ulcers).
Magnesium hydroxide can be used as an antacid or a laxative depending on the administered dose.


As a laxative, Magnesium Hydroxide works by increasing the osmotic effect in the intestinal tract and drawing water in.
This creates distension of the colon which results in an increase in peristaltic movement and bowel evacuation.
Magnesium hydroxide can be used as an antacid or a laxative in either an oral liquid suspension or chewable tablet form.


Additionally, magnesium hydroxide has smoke suppressing and flame retardant properties and is thus used commercially as a fire retardant.
Magnesium Hydroxide can also be used topically as a deodorant or for the relief of canker sores (aphthous ulcers).
Magnesium hydroxide is marketed for medical use as chewable tablets, as capsules, powder, and as liquid suspensions, sometimes flavored.


These products are sold as antacids to neutralize stomach acid and relieve indigestion and heartburn.
Magnesium Hydroxide also is a laxative to alleviate constipation.
As a laxative, the osmotic force of the magnesia acts to draw fluids from the body.


Some magnesium hydroxide products sold for antacid use (such as Maalox) are formulated to minimize unwanted laxative effects through the inclusion of aluminum hydroxide, which inhibits the contractions of smooth muscle cells in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby counterbalancing the contractions induced by the osmotic effects of the magnesium hydroxide.


Magnesium hydroxide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Magnesium hydroxide is used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation.
Magnesium hydroxide is also used as an antacid to relieve indigestion, sour stomach, and heartburn.


Magnesium Hydroxide is used for a short time to treat occasional constipation.
Magnesium Hydroxide is a laxative (osmotic-type) that is thought to work by drawing water into the intestines, an effect that helps to cause movement of the intestines.


Magnesium Hydroxide is also used to treat symptoms caused by too much stomach acid such as heartburn, upset stomach, or indigestion.
Magnesium Hydroxide is an antacid that works by lowering the amount of acid in the stomach.
Magnesium Hydroxide treats occasional constipation.


Magnesium Hydroxide works by increasing the amount of water your intestine absorbs.
This softens the stool, making Magnesium Hydroxide easier to have a bowel movement.
Magnesium Hydroxide also increases pressure, which prompts the muscles in your intestines to move stool.


Magnesium Hydroxide belongs to a group of medications called laxatives.
Magnesium hydroxide is used to treat constipation and acid indigestion.
Magnesium hydroxide is available over-the-counter (OTC) and as a generic.


Magnesium Hydroxide is, after aluminium hydroxide, the most widely used antacid active.
Magnesium Hydroxide is used in both suspension and powder formulations, usually in combination with aluminium hydroxide.
Magnesium Hydroxide has a high acid-binding capacity and reacts rapidly to neutralize gastric acid.


The ingestion of pure magnesium hydroxide antacids leads to undesirably high pH values in the stomach, which can, in turn, stimulate acid production.
For this reason Magnesium Hydroxide is recommended that magnesium hydroxide is combined with aluminium hydroxide in antacid formulations.
Combination products also overcome the laxative effect of magnesium hydroxide as this is compensated for by the mild obstipative effect of aluminium hydroxide.


A solution of magnesium hydroxide with antacid and laxative properties.
Milk of magnesium exerts its antacid activity in low doses such that all hydroxide ions that enter the stomach are used to neutralize stomach acid.
This agent exerts its laxative effect in higher doses so that hydroxide ions are able to move from the stomach to the intestines where they attract and retain water, thereby increasing intestinal movement (peristalsis) and inducing the urge to defecate.


-Other uses for this medicine:
Magnesium hydroxide is also used as an antacid with other medications to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach.
Magnesium Hydroxide may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.


-Pharmacodynamics:
As an antacid, magnesium hydroxide suspension neutralizes gastric acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form magnesium chloride and water.
Magnesium Hydroxide is practically insoluble in water and does not have any effect until it reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. There, Magnesium Hydroxide decreases the direct acid irritant effect and increases the pH in the stomach leading to inactivation of pepsin.
Magnesium hydroxide enhances the integrity of the mucosal barrier of the stomach as well as improving the tone of both the gastric and esophageal sphincters.


-Precursor to MgO:
Most Magnesium Hydroxide that is produced industrially, as well as the small amount that is mined, is converted to fused magnesia (MgO). Magnesia is valuable because it is both a poor electrical conductor and an excellent thermal conductor.


-Medical:
Only a small amount of the magnesium from magnesium hydroxide is usually absorbed by the intestine (unless one is deficient in magnesium).
However, magnesium is mainly excreted by the kidneys; so long-term, daily consumption of milk of magnesia by someone suffering from kidney failure could lead in theory to hypermagnesemia.
Unabsorbed magnesium is excreted in feces; absorbed magnesium is rapidly excreted in urine.


-Antacid:
As an antacid, Magnesium Hydroxide is dosed at approximately 0.5–1.5 g in adults and works by simple neutralization, in which the hydroxide ions from the Mg(OH)2 combine with acidic H+ ions (or hydronium ions) produced in the form of hydrochloric acid by parietal cells in the stomach, to produce water.


-Laxative:
As a laxative, magnesium hydroxide is dosed at 5-10 g, and works in a number of ways.
First, Mg2+ is poorly absorbed from the intestinal tract, so it draws water from the surrounding tissue by osmosis.
Not only does this increase in water content soften the feces, it also increases the volume of feces in the intestine (intraluminal volume) which naturally stimulates intestinal motility.
Furthermore, Mg2+ ions cause the release of cholecystokinin (CCK), which results in intraluminal accumulation of water and electrolytes, and increased intestinal motility.
Some sources claim that the hydroxide ions themselves do not play a significant role in the laxative effects of milk of magnesia, as basic solutions (i.e., solutions of hydroxide ions) are not strongly laxative, and non-basic Mg2+ solutions, like MgSO4, are equally strong laxatives, a mole for mole.


-Other niche uses:
Magnesium hydroxide is also a component of antiperspirant.[20] Magnesium hydroxide is useful against canker sores (aphthous ulcer) when used topically.


-Waste water treatment:
Magnesium hydroxide powder is used industrially to neutralize acidic wastewaters.
Magnesium Hydroxide is also a component of the Biorock method of building artificial reefs.
The main advantage of Mg(OH)2 over Ca(OH)2, is to impose a lower pH better compatible with that of seawater and sea life: pH 10.5 for Mg(OH) 2 in place of pH 12.5 with Ca(OH)2.


-Fire retardant:
Natural magnesium hydroxide (brucite) is used commercially as a fire retardant.
Most industrially used magnesium hydroxide is produced synthetically.
Like aluminum hydroxide, solid magnesium hydroxide has smoke suppressing and flame retardant properties.
This property is attributable to the endothermic decomposition it undergoes at 332 °C (630 °F):
Mg(OH)2 → MgO + H2O
The heat absorbed by the reaction retards the fire by delaying ignition of the associated substance.
The water released dilutes combustible gases.
Common uses of magnesium hydroxide as a flame retardant include additives to cable insulation, insulation plastics, roofing, and various flame retardant coatings.


-As food additive:
Magnesium Hydroxide is added directly to human food, and is affirmed as generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
Magnesium Hydroxide is known as E number E528.



PREPARATION OF MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE:
Treating the solution of different soluble magnesium salts with alkaline water induces the precipitation of the solid hydroxide Mg(OH)2:
Mg2+ + 2 OH− → Mg(OH)2

As Mg2+ is the second most abundant cation present in seawater after Na+, Magnesium Hydroxide can be economically extracted directly from seawater by alkalinisation as described here above.

On an industrial scale, Mg(OH)2 is produced by treating seawater with lime (Ca(OH)2).
A volume of 600 m3 (160,000 US gal) of seawater gives about one tonne of Mg(OH)2. Ca(OH)2 (Ksp = 5.02×10−6) is far more soluble than Mg(OH)2 (Ksp = 5.61×10−12) and drastically increases the pH value of seawater from 8.2 to 12.5.

The less soluble Mg(OH)2 precipitates because of the common ion effect due to the OH− added by the dissolution of Ca(OH)2:
Mg2+ + Ca(OH)2 → Mg(OH)2 + Ca2+



MECHANISM OF ACTION OF MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE:
The suspension of Magnesium Hydroxide is ingested and enters the stomach.
According to the amount ingested, Magnesium Hydroxide will either act as an antacid or a laxative.
Through the ingestion of 0.5-1.5 grams (in adults) Magnesium Hydroxide will act by simple acid neutralization in the stomach.

The hydroxide ions from the magnesium hydroxide suspension will combine with the acidic H+ ions of the hydrochloric acid made by the stomachs parietal cells.
This neutralization reaction will result in the formation of magnesium chloride and water.

Through the ingestion of 2-5 grams (in adults) the magnesium hydroxide acts as a laxative in the colon.
The majority of the suspension is not absorbed in the intestinal tract and will create an osmotic effect to draw water into the gut from surrounding tissues.

With this increase of water in the intestines, the feces will soften and the intraluminal volume of the feces will increase.
These effects still stimulate intestinal motility and induce the urge to defecate.
Magnesium hydroxide will also release cholecystokinin (CKK) in the intestines which will accumulate water and electrolytes in the lumen and furthermore increase intestinal motility.



HISTORY OF MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE:
On May 4, 1818, American inventor Koen Burrows received a patent (No. X2952) for magnesium hydroxide.
In 1829, Sir James Murray used a "condensed solution of fluid magnesia" preparation of his own design[11] to treat the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Marquess of Anglesey, for stomach pain.

This was so successful (advertised in Australia and approved by the Royal College of Surgeons in 1838) that he was appointed resident physician to Anglesey and two subsequent Lords Lieutenant, and knighted.
His fluid magnesia product was patented two years after his death, in 1873.

The term milk of magnesia was first used by Charles Henry Phillips in 1872 for a suspension of magnesium hydroxide formulated at about 8% w/v.
Magnesium Hydroxide was sold under the brand name Phillips' Milk of Magnesia for medicinal usage.
USPTO registrations show that the terms "Milk of Magnesia" and "Phillips' Milk of Magnesia" have both been assigned to Bayer since 1995.
In the UK, the non-brand (generic) name of "Milk of Magnesia" and "Phillips' Milk of Magnesia" is "Cream of Magnesia" (Magnesium Hydroxide Mixture, BP).



WHY IS MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE PRESCRIBED?
Magnesium hydroxide is used to treat occasional constipation in children and adults on a short-term basis.
Magnesium hydroxide is in a class of medications called saline laxatives.
Magnesium Hydroxide works by causing water to be retained with the stool.
This increases the number of bowel movements and softens the stool so it is easier to pass.



MINERALOGY:
Brucite, the mineral form of Mg(OH)2 commonly found in nature also occurs in the 1:2:1 clay minerals amongst others, in chlorite, in which it occupies the interlayer position normally filled by monovalent and divalent cations such as Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+.
As a consequence, chlorite interlayers are cemented by brucite and cannot swell nor shrink.

Brucite, in which some of the Mg2+ cations have been substituted by Al3+ cations, becomes positively charged and constitutes the main basis of layered double hydroxide (LDH).
LDH minerals as hydrotalcite are powerful anion sorbents but are relatively rare in nature.

Brucite may also crystallize in cement and concrete in contact with seawater. Indeed, the Mg2+ cation is the second most abundant cation in seawater, just behind Na+ and before Ca2+.
Because brucite is a swelling mineral, it causes a local volumetric expansion responsible for tensile stress in concrete.
This leads to the formation of cracks and fissures in concrete, accelerating its degradation in seawater.

For the same reason, dolomite cannot be used as construction aggregate for making concrete.
The reaction of magnesium carbonate with the free alkali hydroxides present in the cement porewater also leads to the formation of expansive brucite.

MgCO3 + 2 NaOH → Mg(OH)2 + Na2CO3
This reaction, one of the two main alkali–aggregate reaction (AAR) is also known as alkali–carbonate reaction.

-As food additiveuses of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH):
Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is added directly to human food, and is affirmed as generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is known as E number E528.


-Waste water treatment uses of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH):
Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) powder is used industrially to neutralize acidic wastewaters.

Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is also a component of the Biorock method of building artificial reefs.
The main advantage of Mg(OH)2 over Ca(OH)2, is to impose a lower pH better compatible with that of seawater and sea life: pH 10.5 for Mg(OH)2 in place of pH 12.5 with Ca(OH)2.


-Fire retardant uses of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH):
Natural Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is used commercially as a fire retardant.
Most industrially used Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is produced synthetically.

Like aluminum hydroxide, solid Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) has smoke suppressing and flame retardant properties.
This property is attributable to the endothermic decomposition Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) undergoes at 332 °C (630 °F):
Mg(OH)2 → MgO + H2O

The heat absorbed by the reaction retards the fire by delaying ignition of the associated substance.
The water released dilutes combustible gases.
Common uses of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) as a flame retardant include additives to cable insulation, insulation plastics, roofing, and various flame retardant coatings


-Laxative uses of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH):
As a laxative, Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is dosed at 5–10 grams (0.18–0.35 oz), and works in a number of ways.
First, Mg2+ is poorly absorbed from the intestinal tract, so Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) draws water from the surrounding tissue by osmosis.

Not only does this increase in water content soften the feces, Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) also increases the volume of feces in the intestine (intraluminal volume) which naturally stimulates intestinal motility.

Furthermore, Mg2+ ions cause the release of cholecystokinin (CCK), which results in intraluminal accumulation of water and electrolytes, and increased intestinal motility.
Some sources claim that the hydroxide ions themselves do not play a significant role in the laxative effects of milk of magnesia, as alkaline solutions (i.e., solutions of hydroxide ions) are not strongly laxative, and non-alkaline Mg2+ solutions, like MgSO4, are equally strong laxatives, mole for mole.


-Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is precursor to MgO
Most Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) that is produced industrially, as well as the small amount that is mined, is converted to fused magnesia (MgO).
Magnesia is valuable because it is both a poor electrical conductor and an excellent thermal conductor.


-Medical uses of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH):
Only a small amount of the magnesium from Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is usually absorbed by the intestine (unless one is deficient in magnesium).
However, magnesium is mainly excreted by the kidneys; so long-term, daily consumption of milk of magnesia by someone suffering from kidney failure could lead in theory to hypermagnesemia. Unabsorbed magnesium is excreted in feces; absorbed magnesium is rapidly excreted in urine


-Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) as a fire retardant:
Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is a fire retardant material that is characterized as being: inorganic, non-halogenated, and can also function as a smoke suppressant.
Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) works to release water vapor when it absorbs heat (an endothermic reaction), and this dilutes surrounding the flammable oxygen gas.
Additionally, the resulting char and magnesium oxide layer helps to add further resistance to fire.

-Other cations
*Beryllium hydroxide
*Calcium hydroxide
*Strontium hydroxide
*Barium hydroxide



PREPARATION OF MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE (MDH):
Treating the solution of different soluble magnesium salts with alkaline water induces the precipitation of the solid hydroxide Mg(OH)2:
Mg2+ + 2 OH− → Mg(OH)2
As Mg2+ is the second most abundant cation present in seawater after Na+, Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) can be economically extracted directly from seawater by alkalinisation as described here above.

On an industrial scale, Mg(OH)2 is produced by treating seawater with lime (Ca(OH)2).
A volume of 600 m3 (160,000 US gal) of seawater gives about 1 tonne (2,200 lb) of Mg(OH)2. Ca(OH)2 (Ksp = 5.02×10−6) is far more soluble than Mg(OH)2 (Ksp = 5.61×10−12) and drastically increases the pH value of seawater from 8.2 to 12.5.

The less soluble Mg(OH)2 precipitates because of the common ion effect due to the OH− added by the dissolution of Ca(OH)2:
Mg2+ + Ca(OH)2 → Mg(OH)2 + Ca2+



HISTORY OF MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE (MDH):
On May 4, 1818, American inventor Koen Burrows received a patent (No. X2952) for Magnesium hydroxide (MDH).
In 1829, Sir James Murray used a "condensed solution of fluid magnesia" preparation of his own design to treat the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Marquess of Anglesey, for stomach pain.

This was so successful (advertised in Australia and approved by the Royal College of Surgeons in 1838) that he was appointed resident physician to Anglesey and two subsequent Lords Lieutenant, and knighted.
His fluid magnesia product was patented two years after his death, in 1873.

The term milk of magnesia was first used by Charles Henry Phillips in 1872 for a suspension of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) formulated at about 8% w/v.
Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) was sold under the brand name Phillips' Milk of Magnesia for medicinal usage.

USPTO registrations show that the terms "Milk of Magnesia" and "Phillips' Milk of Magnesia" have both been assigned to Bayer since 1995.
In the UK, the non-brand (generic) name of "Milk of Magnesia" and "Phillips' Milk of Magnesia" is "Cream of Magnesia" (Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) Mixture, BP).



SURFACE MODIFICATION OF MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE (MDH) TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE:
Surface modification of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is an essential step in enhancing the performance of this flame retardant.
Traditional methods of surface modification involve the use of surfactants or coupling agents, but recent research has focused on the use of macromolecular surface modifiers.

These modifiers have shown promising results in improving the mechanical properties of materials.
One of the main challenges with Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) as a flame retardant is its poor compatibility and tendency to reunite dispersion.
This can lead to difficulties in achieving a uniform dispersion in organic polymers.

To overcome this issue, surface modification techniques aim to improve the surface properties of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH), enhancing its compatibility with the polymer matrix.

Surface modification can be achieved through various methods, such as chemical grafting, physical adsorption, or coating.
These techniques aim to modify the surface of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) particles, making them more compatible with the polymer matrix and improving their dispersion.

The use of macromolecular surface modifiers has gained attention in recent years.
These modifiers, such as polymers or copolymers, can be grafted onto the surface of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) particles, creating a protective layer that improves compatibility and dispersion.

This modification can also enhance the mechanical properties of the materials by reducing the negative impact of high filling volumes of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH).
Additionally, surface modification can also involve the incorporation of functional groups onto the surface of Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) particles.
These functional groups can enhance the interaction between the flame retardant and the polymer matrix, further improving compatibility and dispersion.
