Health Equity Accreditation Plus Builds on Core Equity Standards, Distinguishes High-Level Organizations and Proves Feasibility of Enhanced Standards

WASHINGTON - September 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) today announced that nine health care organizations have earned accreditation in the first cohort of the NCQA Health Equity Accreditation Plus program. 

As an advanced evaluation program, Health Equity Accreditation Plus builds on NCQA's foundational Health Equity Accreditation framework to address inequities in care by: 

• Partnering with community-based organizations.
• Offering resources that support clinical and social needs.
• Collecting data on community social risk factors and patients' social needs.
• Making clear to members and patients how their data is used, shared and protected. 

The nine organizations that augmented earning Health Equity Accreditation by also achieving Health Equity Accreditation Plus are:

• Aetna Better Health of Michigan, Inc. 
• Geisinger Health Plan 
• Health Net of California, Inc.   
• Hennepin Healthcare

TEWKSBURY, Mass. - September 26, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL) has partnered with ISOtopic Solutions to release the new stable isotope-labeled and unlabeled Crude Lipid Yeast Extracts. These are designed to render hundreds of fatty acids and lipids for use in MS lipidomics research and development.

Andrew Percy (Ph.D.), CIL's MS 'Omics Product Manager and Senior Applications Scientist for Mass Spectrometry, states: "These analytes are broadly dispersed across a multitude of metabolic classes and pathways. This represents the largest panel of stable isotope-labeled standards commercially available in a single mix for targeted profiling and relative quantification of the lipidome."

Andrew goes on to say: "A major benefit of the stable isotope-labeled lipid yeast extract is that the fatty acids and lipids are uniformly ¹³C-labeled at high isotopic enrichment. ¹³C labeling provides superior isotopic stability and analytical reliability as compared to ²H (or deuterium) labeling."

Gerrit Hermann (Ph.D.), founder and CEO of ISOtopic Solutions, states: "Up to now, the lack of suitable internal standards has been one of the major limiting factors to achieve absolute quantitation in the field of lipidomics. The use of internal standards is a prerequisite to ensure high precision and accuracy, as well as to correct for errors introduced during sample preparation procedures. However, due to the high number and structural diversity of lipid molecules, it is almost impossible to ensure molecule-specific stable isotope-labeled internal standardization. This explains why class-specific internal standards have been used to date. This U-¹³C-labeled lipid yeast extract might enable these shortcomings to be overcome. In fact, these U-¹³C-labeled yeast cell extracts have already been widely used in microbiological metabolism studies, including targeted quantitative metabolite profiling."

Overall, these lipid yeast extract mixes (Cat nos. L-ISO1 and L-ISO1-UNL) are well suited for researchers performing MS lipidomics and integrative MS 'Omics (involving lipidomics). Both of these products are available exclusively through CIL. To learn more about these new Crude Lipid Yeast Extracts, as well as the established Metabolite Yeast Extracts (Cat nos. ISO1 and ISO1-UNL), please visit isotope.com.

SEATTLE - September 26, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

For millions of people, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is a painful and uncomfortable condition that interrupts their life on a daily basis and can leave them feeling discouraged and defeated. In fact, up to 30 percent of Americans suffer from GERD, or heartburn, and many of those patients resort to taking antacids or medications in order to manage it. Often, prescription medications for GERD can lead to side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, chronic vitamin b12 deficiency, osteoporosis and fundic gastric polyps.

While taking prescriptions for GERD is a common option for those who suffer from the condition, many people find themselves wishing there was a more natural way to relieve the symptoms. This is where GerdLi comes in. GerdLi is the world's first natural antacid supplement and was created via a custom physician-engineered formula using the rinds of citrus fruits. GerdLi helps to alleviate the symptoms of GERD the natural way, in use with lifestyle modifications and as an alternative to antacids.

By incorporating GerdLi into an already healthy lifestyle, those who suffer from GERD will experience relief. They can be assured that they're adding something natural into their regimen that will, in the long-term, help them manage their GERD and ultimately feel better.

What is GERD and how does GerdLi help?

GERD is a condition that develops when stomach acid enters the esophagus and causes troublesome symptoms and complications. It is often referred to as heartburn, and those who have GERD will typically feel pain or discomfort after consuming certain foods or drinks. GERD is a clinical diagnosis or a diagnosis that is made by a patient after relaying their symptoms. If the case is more severe, testing can be done or if the diagnosis is inconclusive. Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and weight loss mainly, are done to help manage GERD. However, many people still find themselves on prescription medications.

Created as a natural alternative to prescription medications like antacids, GerdLi is a supplement for those looking to manage their GERD more naturally. GerdLi uses D-limonene, a compound derivative that is sourced from citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, mandarins and limes. D-limonene works to decrease stomach acid content, which in turn helps reduce heartburn. 

Origins and creation

The process of creating GerdLi began in 2017 and took nearly three and a half years to materialize. Dr. M, the physician who developed GerdLi, was fueled by his own personal interest and experience with chronic GERD leading to esophagitis. Dr. M had been hospitalized twice in the last four years for severe esophagitis - once in 2016, and one more recently in November 2020. He was then diagnosed with LA grade D esophagitis, which affected his ability to eat due to pain.

"Although my case is a severe example, there are millions of people who are affected by GERD," he said. "Instead of having to take medications for life, many like myself wish there would be a natural alternative. I created GerdLi to find a natural option for those who suffer from GERD and may feel as though prescription-strength medication is their only choice." 

Feeling better with GerdLi

GerdLi is simple to use and the capsule is small, which makes it easy to swallow. Dr. M said by adding GerdLi into a healthy lifestyle plan, people will see results quickly. Most people who have taken GerdLi have noticed an improvement in their acid reflux symptoms within two to four weeks. 

It's recommended that users take one 500-milligram soft gel capsule twice daily for a total of 1,000 milligrams. Users should not take more than four capsules within 24 hours. There are no known side effects or reactions to GerdLi noted by trial participants, as Dr. M said the supplement is very safe. GerdLi is specially manufactured in a facility registered by the Food and Drug Administration to ensure the highest quality, and it is made from the highest potency, specially sourced D-limonene.
