Amidst a huge supplements boost in the U.S. this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, clinical experience and scientific literature remain key when making recommendations for patients. According to a recent study, nearly half of Americans have begun adding more supplements as a part of their wellness regime, part of an overall huge supplements boost in the U.S. that is not expected to level off post-COVID, as exemplified in the top chiropractic supplements articles from this year.

The top chiropractic supplements articles from 2021 on the Chiropractic Economics website included the topics of what supplements chiropractors and nutritionists take, new concussion treatment supplements and breakthroughs, combining L-arginine and L-citrulline to improve circulation, N-acetyl cysteine possibly protecting patients against COVID-19 according to new research, and healing the gut-brain access with supplements.

“The result can be brain fog, memory issues, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety,” wrote Robert Silverman on patients with gut-brain access issues. “In the other direction, stress hormones such as cortisol can cause dysbiosis and intestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.”

5. Heal your gut and supercharge the gut-brain axis with supplements

The gut-brain axis is the bidirectional link between the central nervous system (CNS) and the enteric nervous system (ENS). Also known as the body’s “second brain,” the enteric nervous system is the extensive network of 100 million nerve cells that line the full length of the gastrointestinal tract. Although the main role of the ENS is digestion, the messages that travel back and forth between it and the CNS also affect the immune system, cognition and mood — more than enough reasons for DCs to tell patients to heal your gut issues.

Your brain is the foremost nutrient-dependent and energy-demanding organ in your body. It weighs about three pounds and has the consistency of Jell-O. An injury to the brain can quickly become a threat to your body’s health on a systemic level … Every year more than 3.8 million concussions are reported; many more go unreported and undiagnosed. More than 500,000 kids every year are treated in an emergency room for sports-related concussions.

2. Combining L-arginine and L-citrulline to improve circulation

By TINA BEYCHOK
One of the more interesting research findings regarding L-arginine and L-citrulline is that combining them can significantly increase efficacy in the production of nitric oxide, even at a lower dose than from either amino acid alone. A number of animal and human studies appear to show this effect. A 2019 review article in the journal Nutrients reported on the state of research regarding the use of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline to improve blood pressure.

1. Studies show N-Acetyl Cysteine supplement can possibly protect patients against COVID-19

By TINA BEYCHOK
N-acetyl cysteine is a precursor of the amino acid L-cysteine that has proven to be a very powerful antioxidant, both in vivo and in vitro.1 It works by moderating mucus secretions, which is one of the major ways in which COVID-19 can be transmitted. It also stimulates the biosynthesis of glutathione, which helps fight off disorders associated with free radicals, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma.
