Description

Rosemary Supreme™ was developed by Dr. Walter Schmitt and Dr. Michael Lebowitz. It took a while to source a raw material that consistently tested well and performed clinically too. This distinguishes it quality-wise from the common kitchen rosemary and other brands of capsules that have stearic acid or rice powder added and didn’t go through kinesiological quality control testing. The source is also organically grown.

Rosemary contains three antioxidant substances with potentially beneficial properties for our health: rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, and ursolic acid.

Rosemary is a powerful antioxidant, a cardioprotective and neuroprotective agent that helps estrogen degradation. It also helps in many autoimmune disorders. Rosmarinic acid impacts estrogen breakdown in a positive way. Estradiol and estrone are detoxified via pathways that can be protective or carcinogenic, especially to tissues such as the breast and prostate. Rosmarinic acid has been shown to direct the metabolism of these estrogens toward the protective 2-hydroxy estrone pathway and away from the carcinogenic 4-hydroxy estrone and 16-hydroxy estrone pathways. Any female or male patient with personal or family history of estrogen driven cancers should be evaluated for rosemary. Dietary administration of an extract from rosemary leaves enhances the liver microsomal metabolism of endogenous estrogens and decreases their uterotropic action in mice.

Rosmarinic acid also has important antioxidant effects. In the arachidonic acid cascade it shifts the production of the highly inflammatory leukotriene B4 toward the production of prostaglandin E2. It inhibits the complement system, the inflammatory activity driven by the innate immune system.

Carnosic acid, and its metabolite carnosol also have antioxidant properties including neuroprotective effects in the brain. Carnosic acid, a catechol-type electrophilic compound, protects neurons both in vitro and in vivo through activation of the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway via S-alkylation of targeted cysteines on Keap1. These effects include increasing reduced glutathione and protecting against middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion.

Carnosol has been shown to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-ã (IFNã) induced nitrite production by mouse peritoneal cells by more than 50%. Nitric oxide and the further production of peroxynitrate and nitrite have DNA damaging and carcinogenic effects. (Ref: Marion Man-Ying Chan, Chi-Tang Hoc and Hsing-I Huang, Effects of thre dietary phytochemicals frm tea, rosemary, and turmeric on inflammation-induced nitrite production.

Carnosol performs this antioxidant activity by decreasing nitric oxide production via inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-êB) promoter activity. These activities provide possible mechanisms for its anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive action. Carnosol, an antioxidant in rosemary, suppresses inducible nitric oxide synthase through down-regulating nuclear factor-êB in mouse macrophages.

Ursolic acid has been found to reduce muscle atrophy and to stimulate muscle growth in mice. Ursolic acid has potential use as a cardioprotective compound.

If you utilize Dr. Lebowitz protocols see if a weakening of any of the 3 of the estrogen vials in the biochemical/hormone kit are negated by Rosemary. It may also negate the weakening of any of the chemical composites (industrial and environmental 1 and 3, chemical and inhalant, pesticides 1,2, and 3, dental, food additives, etc.) Also strengthening in the clear would be an indicator.

If you use Dr Schmitt’s protocols the following are AK indicators that may need Rosemary Supreme:

1. Weakness induced by homeopathic 4-OH estrone or 16-OH estrone negated by rosemary.
2. Weakness induced by homeopathic inflammatory cytokines (especially TNF-alpha and interferon-gamma) negated by rosemary.

NOTE:

Rosemary may affect the blood’s ability to clot, and could interfere with any blood-thinning drugs you are taking. Be sure to consult your doctor if you are taking Plavix, Coumadin, or Aspirin or any other type of blood thinner.

Rosemary may interfere with the action of ACE inhibitors in high blood pressure medications like: Monopril, Vasotec, Zestril, Capoten or any other such medications.
