What is Ester C and bowel tolerance?

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions
Ester C is a buffered form of Vitamin C, which is easier on the stomach than other C's (ascorbic acid). If you decide to use Ester C or any of the other buffered form of C (calcium ascorbate or sodium ascorbate), you will be able to provide a much higher dosage than you would with ascorbic acid. If you are providing a buffered form of C, you might want to start out with 500 mg and increase the dosage (splitting the dosage to twice per day) until you determine the bowel tolerance.

What's an Ester?

Beginners Steroids FAQs
A Steroid Ester refers to the chain of carbons attached to the steroid molecule at the 17th position. The longer the chain, the greater the time taken for the steroid to be released into the bloodstream. Testosterone propionate, for example, is a relatively short chain ester and therefore makes the parent hormone fast acting and requiring more frequent injections. The opposite is the case for longer chain esters e.g. enanthate, cypionate, undecanoate.

How is the amount of Glucosamine and Ester C calculated against the human equivalent amount?

arthrix for dogs and cats treats arthritis dysplasia and inj...
Glucosamine: A mature individual (say 175 lbs) should take about 1500 mg glucosamine per day, so that is about 8.5 mg per pound per day. We add 150 mg per approx. 15 to 20 lbs of animal weight, which is about 7.5 to 10 mg per pound per day. These are approximate figures, but you can see the comparison is pretty good. Ester C: A mature individual (say 175 lbs) should take about 500 mg Ester C per day.

Question: What is the difference between Tachyphaxis and Tolerance?

FAQ's
Answer: Tachyphlaxis means rapidly diminishing response. It is common with the amphetamine type compounds. These compounds cause displacement of transmitter (NE) from the storage vesicles. There appears to be only a certain of amount transmitter available for this type of release. When these stores are depleted the response to these agents is also reduced. This diminished response can occur within hours/days, dose to dose. Whereas tolerance is a long term reduction (adaptation) in response ie.

What causes irritable bowel syndrome?

Health Information
The digestion and propulsion of nutrients and fluids through the gastrointestinal system (GI) is a very complicated and very well organized process. The GI tract has its own intrinsic muscles and nerves that connect, like an electrical circuit, to the spinal cord and brain. Neuromuscular events occurring in the GI tract is relayed to the brain through neural connections, and the response of the brain is also relayed back to the gastrointestinal tract.

WHAT IS INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease refers to the condition that results when cells involved in inflammation and immune response are called into the lining of the GI tract. This infiltration thickens the bowel lining and interferes with absorption and motility (the ability of the bowel to contract and move food). With abnormal ability to contract and abnormal ability to absorb, the bowel's function is disrupted.

HOW IS INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE DIAGNOSED?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The first step in pursuing any chronic problem is a "metabolic database." This means a basic blood panel and urinalysis to rule out more biochemically widespread problems (such as liver disease or kidney disease) which could be responsible for the signs.

WHAT CAUSES INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Unfortunately, the causes of inflammatory bowel disease are not well understood. Usually, a cause is not found. The basic theory is that "something" is leading to a chronic stimulus of inflammation. This could be an allergy against a food protein, the continuing presence of a parasite, inflammatory products produced by the normal bacteria living in the intestine or there may be an underlying problem with the immune system in affected individuals.

HOW IS INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE TREATED?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The cornerstone of treatment for inflammatory bowel disease is suppression of the inflammation. In milder cases of large intestinal inflammatory bowel disease, the immunomodulating properties of metronidazole (Flagyl) might be adequate for control but usually prednisone is needed. Prednisone will work on inflammatory bowel disease in any area of the intestinal tract. In more severe cases, stronger immune suppression is needed (as with cyclosporine or azathioprine).
