One of the subjects that seems to pop up on this board is losing hair after gastric bypass surgery. I never experienced hair loss after my RNY surgery. I am 28 months post-op. I attribute this to a supplement that I take called Juvenon. This supplement contains 1000 mg of amino acid Acetyl L-Carnitine and 400 mg of Alpha Lipoid Acid. It also contains 300 mg of Biotin. I have been taking this supplement for over 10 years primarily because it helps my lung function (around a 200 point improvement in my peak flow). I have noticed that it also has the property of halting my hair loss due to aging and and also stopped my hair from turning white. That is why I recommended this product. It helps to restore the mitochondria in my cells, allowing my cells to be better manage oxygen. This supplement is sold over the internet as an anti-aging supplement. While rummaging through reams of old research today, I came across an interesting article. Red meat contains high levels of the amino acid L-carnitine. Apparently there was a study published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings that determine supplemental L-carnitine provides significant cardioprotective properties to patients that had previously had heart attacks. When compared to patients taking a placebo, those taking L-carnitine had a 27% reduction in all cause mortality, including a 65% reduction of ventricular arrhythmias (the most serious kind) and a 40% reduction in angina. All results were statistically significant. So eating red meat is good for your heart. It contains both Protein and high levels of the amino acid L-carnitine. http://acsh.org/2013/04/amino-acid-found-in-red-meat-may-benefit-heart-attack-patients/
