8 Best Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplements 2025: Benefits, Reviews and Prices

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Most people in the United States consume less than recommended amounts of vitamin D . An analysis of data from the 2017–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found that average daily vitamin D intakes from foods and beverages were 4.3 mcg in men, 3.8 mcg in women, and 5 mcg (200 IU) in children aged 2–19 years ( NHANES 2017 - 2018 ). What Is Vitamin D? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning that it dissolves in fats and oils and can be stored in your body for a long time. Vitamin D is important to the body in many ways. It helps the body absorb calcium from food and supplements. Muscles need it to move, for example, nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and every body part, and the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body. Vitamin D Market Size The Global Vitamin D Market size was ...

Ivermectin and Fenbendazole in the Treatment of Psoriasis? A Case Series of 13 Patients (2025)

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition affecting approximately 7.5 million individuals in the United States, with significant economic, physical, and psychological burdens. This case series reports on 13 patients who experienced notable improvements in psoriasis symptoms following treatment with ivermectin and/or fenbendazole, antiparasitic agents repurposed for this indication. Cases were derived from self-reported testimonials shared on social media platforms. Treatment durations ranged from 3 days to 3 months, with dosages varying between 6 mg ivermectin twice daily and combinations with fenbendazole. Rapid resolution of skin lesions was observed in most cases, with some achieving near-complete clearance. While these anecdotal reports suggest potential therapeutic efficacy, controlled clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings and elucidate underlying mechanisms. Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by hyperproliferation...

A meta-analysis of 3 studies (C19early 2025) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may significantly lower risk with  viral clearance . One study shows significant benefit. Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 83% [6‑97%] lower risk . Results are consistent with early treatment being more effective than late treatment. A study, published in Nature ( Takeda 2022 ) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection even at lower concentrations.

Is Your Shampoo Making You Sick?

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
You may be mistakenly comforted by the perceived oversight by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over chemicals used in the manufacture of everyday products. For instance, the FDA prohibits the use of mercury , chloroform and nine other substances in your personal care products. However, once you know the European Union (EU) prohibits the use of more than 1,300 chemicals in their personal care products, you may not feel as protected — and you would be right. The number of chemicals restricted by the FDA is even more ridiculous when you consider there are over 84,000 different chemicals in use in your personal care products and only 1% of those have been evaluated for safety in humans. (1) The difference between chemical use in the EU and the U.S. is that in the EU manufacturers must prove chemicals are not a health hazard before they are allowed in products, whereas in the U.S. they can be added without mandatory safety testing and only removed after enough people hav...

9 Best Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D3 and K2 Supplements 2025

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and Vitamin K2 are vitamin and minerals that are vital to several bodily processes. Though they occur naturally in a variety of foods, many people take supplements to help increase their intake. Benefits and uses 1. May support bone health Calcium is the main mineral in your bones, which hold more than 99% of your body’s calcium stores. Your body is constantly regenerating its bone tissue, so it’s important to consume an adequate amount of this mineral daily ( bones.nih.gov ). Magnesium plays a key role in converting vitamin D into its active form, which aids calcium absorption ( Trusted Source ). Therefore, you can minimize your vitamin D requirement by making sure you’re also getting enough magnesium. Research has confirmed higher magnesium intake helps reduce your risk of vitamin D deficiency by activating more of it.  A  groundbreaking 2017 review  compiled over 80 studies that show vitamin D3 and K2 together might be greater than...

12 Best Zinc Supplements for Senior 2024

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Zinc is a powerful immune nutrient known for its benefits for providing immune health support and inflammation reduction as well as for improving cold and respiratory symptoms, wound healing, acne reduction, and lowering the risk of age-related diseases. Research on atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus suggests that zinc deficiency may contribute to low-grade systemic inflammation. Although zinc may fall last on an alphabetical list of minerals, some people go to it first as a cold remedy. Taken in lozenge form, these products may boost the immune system and may shorten the duration of a cold, according to some studies. Zinc deficiency is common in seniors, which may negatively impact the immune system and increase the likelihood of COVID-19. Its deficiency can play an essential role in the aging process and cause the nervous system’s degenerative diseases. In the United States, about 12 % of the population is probably at risk for zinc deficiency, and as many as 40% of the elderly hav...
