MDP Guard Softgels By Perque Overview & Drug Interactions

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is involved in a variety of functions, including regulating brain activity and behavior, relaxation, and sleep. GABA is endogenously produced in the brain from the amino acid glutamate and is responsible for inhibiting the activity of nerve cells in the brain and central nervous system. GABA is a popular dietary supplement and is used to help reduce anxiety and improve sleep, but more research is needed to determine its safety and effectiveness.

Algin is a type of polysaccharide that is extracted from brown algae and also made naturally by some types of bacteria. It is most commonly referred to as sodium alginate. It is used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a variety of products. In food, algin is commonly used as a gelling agent to create a variety of textures. In manufacturing, algin is used as a binding and disintegrating agent in tablets, and as a binding and demulcent in lozenges. It has been studied for potential health benefits, such as reducing cholesterol levels and improving digestive health.

Beeswax, produced by bees to construct honeycombs, starts out white but changes to yellow or brown when mixed with pollen oils. It is used orally for hyperlipidemia, peptic ulcers, diarrhea, hiccups, and pain, and topically for anal fissures, burns, diaper rash, hemorrhoids, oral mucositis, radiation dermatitis, and fungal skin infections. In the food industry, white beeswax and beeswax absolute serve as stiffening agents, while in manufacturing, they act as thickeners, emulsifiers, and stiffening agents in cosmetics, and as fragrance ingredients in soaps and perfumes. The composition of beeswax varies among bee families and breeds. Some studies suggest that very-long-chain fatty alcohols from beeswax may lower cholesterol and affect LDL metabolism. Mixtures of honey, beeswax, and olive oil may inhibit bacteria growth, and beeswax with NSAIDs may protect against NSAID-induced ulcers.

Glycerol, also known as glycerin or glycerine, is a colorless and odorless liquid that is widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is a sugar alcohol and is also naturally occurring in the body. Glycerol is primarily used as a humectant in commercial products, which helps substances to retain moisture. It is also commonly used in food products as a sweetener and a thickening agent, and is also an ingredient in many cosmetics and personal care products, such as soaps and lotions, to help keep skin hydrated. Glycerol has a variety of medicinal uses, including as a laxative. Additionally, it is purported to help improve athletic performance by improving endurance and delaying the onset of fatigue. Glycerol can be used as a drug masking agent and is therefore banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Turmeric is a commonly used spice and a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). It is native to India and other parts of South Asia and is known for its bright orange-yellow color and its warm, slightly bitter flavor. In traditional medicine, turmeric is believed to have a number of health benefits due to its high content of antioxidants and other compounds, such as curcumin. It is thought to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and it is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including joint pain, digestive problems, skin disorders, and respiratory infections. Most dietary supplements that utilize turmeric standardize their products based on a specific amount of curcumin (curcuminoids) per dose. Additionally, turmeric supplements are often paired with black pepper extract (piperine) to improve oral absorption.
