🛡️ What is Lauricidin® good for?

Lauricidin® contains monolaurin, a compound derived from lauric acid that’s commonly used to support general immune wellness.

🔬 Research has explored monolaurin’s antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi, though more human studies are needed to confirm its benefits when taken as a supplement.

As part of a seasonal wellness routine, Lauricidin is often paired with nutrients like zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D.

Support your wellness with science-informed choices!

Alcohol “helping your heart” was never the full story.

If you’ve been told “a glass of red w**e is good for you,” save this and send it to someone who still believes that myth. 👉

The newer science is a lot less flattering:
Even one drink a day is linked to higher cancer, cardiovascular, liver disease, and early death risk. A lot of the old studies were biased by “healthy drinkers” and “sick quitters.” What looked like a benefit was often just bad data.

I used to hear the same red w**e logic all the time.🍷
Now the honest takeaway is simpler - if your goal is better health, alcohol is not the shortcut.
You are the CEO of your body.

The question is: are your choices helping you long term?

What’s your take - are people finally ready to hear this?

You are the CEO of your body. The choices you make can affect the people who love you, too.

One of the best things you can do for your family is take care of your health—so you can be there for them, not become dependent on them. If you’re drinking, consider cutting back or stopping. Alcohol leads to liver disease, cancer and other things.

Your health is yours to lead. Make choices today that help you show up for the people you love.

High ferritin may be a sign of iron overload or inflammation—and it can be easy to miss if ferritin isn’t included in routine testing. 💉

High ferritin may be a sign of iron overload or inflammation—and it can be easy to miss if ferritin isn’t included in routine testing.💉

In this video, Dr. Merkle explains hemochromatosis, why ferritin levels matter, and how testing can help guide next steps.

🩸Talk with a qualified healthcare professional about what your results mean and whether blood donation is appropriate for you.
Save this for later, and share it with someone who may find the conversation useful.

High copper levels can be worth investigating—but a single result doesn’t tell the whole story. Symptoms can have many causes, so discuss your results with a healthcare professional and ask whether follow-up testing is appropriate before making changes to your diet or supplements. 💉🩸

Save this as a reminder to look at the full picture, not just one lab value.

Your brain is the most sensitive organ to deficiencies!

If this hit home, drop a comment — and save this for the next time you catch yourself overthinking.

The truth is, warning signs show up way before things get serious.
Bruising, slow healing, swollen joints, cracked heels. Low energy, bad digestion, brain fog, mood changes. Changes in skin, nails, eyes, or tongue.

None of that is a diagnosis.

It’s a signal to look closer, test, and stop guessing.

The body usually whispers first.

The people who win are the ones who notice early.

What warning sign do you see most often?

Lab Marker of the Week: Vitamin D

Vitamin D is often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," but it's actually a hormone that plays a vital role in many of the body's physiological processes.

While it's best known for supporting bone health, adequate Vitamin D is also essential for:

• Immune system function
• Muscle strength and recovery
• Cardiovascular health
• Healthy inflammatory response
• Mood and cognitive function

Low Vitamin D levels are common and may contribute to symptoms such as:

• Fatigue
• Muscle weakness or aches
• Frequent illness
• Low mood
• Slow recovery from exercise or injury

Many factors can influence Vitamin D status, including:
• Limited sun exposure
• Geographic location and season
• Age
• Skin pigmentation
• Diet and nutrient absorption

At Science Based Nutrition, we believe that optimizing Vitamin D status is about more than supporting healthy bones, it's about promoting whole body wellness through personalized, data driven care.

Because when it comes to long-term health, even one nutrient can have a widespread impact

Lab Marker of the Week: Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)

LDH is an enzyme found throughout the body, including in the:

• Heart
• Liver
• Muscles
• Kidneys
• Lungs
• Red blood cells

Its primary role is helping cells produce energy. Because LDH is present in so many tissues, elevated levels can serve as a general indicator that the body is experiencing cellular stress, tissue damage, or increased cell turnover.

Elevated LDH may be associated with:

• Inflammation
• Tissue injury
• Intense physical stress or exercise
• Liver dysfunction
• Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown)
• Certain chronic health conditions

One of the challenges with LDH is that it is a non-specific marker. An elevated result doesn't tell practitioners exactly where the issue is occurring, but it can indicate that further investigation may be warranted.

From a clinical perspective, LDH is often evaluated alongside:

• AST and ALT
• CRP
• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Ferritin
• Other organ-specific markers

When viewed in context, LDH can help identify underlying physiological stress that may not be obvious from symptoms alone.

At Science Based Nutrition, we believe that even broad markers like LDH can provide valuable clues when interpreted as part of a comprehensive health assessment.

Because prevention starts with recognizing subtle changes before they become larger concerns.
