[Re-Start Co., Ltd.] [Doctor survey on nutrition and health] 79% of doctors recognize iron deficiency as a cause of mental illness, what nutrients should we actively take in? Many people are sick or pre-sick due to nutrient deficiencies or overconsumption
Re-Start Co., Ltd. Press release: September 27, 2024 [Doctor survey on nutrition and health] 79% of doctors recognize iron deficiency as a cause of mental illness, what nutrients should we actively take in? Many people are sick or pre-sick due to nutrient deficiencies or overconsumption. A large number of doctors think that it is a good idea to use a test kit that allows them to check their nutritional status at home and send the results to a specialist. New release of micro blood sampling test kit for infant medical institutions Re-Start Co., Ltd. (location: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Hisaya Taniuchi), which provides ferritin testing services and molecular nutritional medicine healthcare services, conducted a survey on “nutrition and health” targeting doctors. . A person’s body and health condition change depending on the various nutrients ingested through food. Additionally, although there have been indications about the relationship between nutrition and mental health in early childhood, such as developmental disorders, the current state of affairs is that general clinical medicine does not fully understand this. So this time, Re-Start Co., Ltd. ( http://www.re-start.co.jp/
https://www.prizma-link.com/press ) Internet research [Number of people surveyed] 1,003 people [Survey target] Monitors who answered that they were doctors when responding to the survey [Research source] Re-start Co., Ltd. ( http://www.re-start.co.jp/ ) [Monitor provider] PRIZMA Research [Research company and Results monitor analysis and summary by re-start] The method for extracting survey subjects from the monitor was to distribute a web survey under the title “Nutrition and Health” to 25,000 people in the medical profession category, receive responses from 7,000 people, and select the final survey from 7,000 people who answered that they were doctors. These are the survey results from 1,003 people who answered all questions. Among the final response monitor group, 76% had studied molecular nutrition*1, which is a much higher percentage than the total number of general clinicians. This is thought to be due to the fact that doctors who are knowledgeable about “nutrition and health” proactively responded by recognizing that mental and physical disorders are caused by latent nutrient deficiencies, resulting in high points. On the other hand, many general clinicians who do not incorporate nutritional therapy are thought to lack insight into the relationship between nutrients and health, such as mental health, because they focus on symptomatic medication treatment and conventional classical nutrition. Therefore, there may be different opinions. The survey results showed that 88.7% of doctors were positive about the usefulness of blood test kits that allow blood to be collected at home. Based on the results of this survey, Re-Start Co., Ltd. has begun selling test kits for medical institutions that incorporate nutritional therapy that can analyze blood nutrients by collecting a small amount of blood from infants, children, and the elderly for whom intravenous blood sampling is difficult. I will do it. *1 Molecular nutrition: Analyzing blood using molecular biology reveals deficiencies in proteins necessary for amino acid production, vitamins and trace elements necessary for enzyme function, and identifies deficiencies in individual nutrients. , nutritional therapy that optimizes metabolism and improves health by administering optimal amounts of deficient nutrients [Mini blood sampling ferritin test exclusively for medical institutions!

According to a doctor who is knowledgeable about nutrition, the nutrients that should be ingested for good health are “protein,” “vitamin B,” and “iron.” First, I would like to ask you about the nutrients you should take for good health.

More than 60% of people answered that protein is a nutrient that they should
consciously consume for their health. Also, many people think that they should be conscious about taking B vitamins and iron. Ferritin is a type of iron-binding protein that stores iron in the body and releases it when necessary, such as in the production of hemoglobin and brain neurotransmitters closely related to mental health.The amount of ferritin in the blood is measured. This allows you to know if there is a latent iron deficiency, and rather than a hemoglobin test, which is an indicator of anemia, it is possible to more accurately determine the iron deficiency state by analyzing it together with the body inflammatory response (CRP). So, when we asked the question, “When performing a regular blood test, please select the item that is closest to the rate at which ferritin is measured.” “Less than 10% (25.9%)” “About 30% (58.7%)” “About 50% (13.2%)” “More than 70% (2.2%)” This is the answer. It was shown that there are still very few cases in which ferritin values, which are standard in Europe and the United States, are measured during blood tests. Many people suffer from malfunctions due to nutrient deficiencies or
overconsumption! ?

If you include those who answered “very many” and “many,” it seems that there are a large number of people who are sick or pre-sick due to lack or overconsumption of specific nutrients. Therefore, when we asked the question, “To what extent do you intervene with questions, tests, and guidance regarding various nutrients during your medical treatment?” More than 70% of the respondents answered “Intervening in almost all patients (26.0%)” “Actively intervening (51.5%)” I answered. It was shown that doctors who are knowledgeable about nutrition are more likely to conduct interviews and tests on nutritional status through blood tests and other methods. Iron deficiency can also lead to mental illness! ? What is the reason?

Regarding the percentage of respondents who said yes, the results were as follows. ・“Anemia symptoms (81.0%)” ・“Decrease in immune function (76.8%)” ・“Decrease in cognitive ability (73.9%)” ・“Increased feeling of fatigue (76.9%)” ・“Mental disorder (79.9%)” It has been shown that a large percentage of physicians who are knowledgeable about nutrition are aware of the various disorders caused by iron deficiency. Therefore, we asked those who answered “I am aware” in detail about why iron deficiency leads to mental illness. ■Why iron deficiency leads to mental disorders ・When hemoglobin in red blood cells decreases, oxygen supply to cells decreases (20s/male/Saitama Prefecture) ・Anemia is thought to lead to a feeling of sluggishness and fatigue in the body and brain, which in turn affects mental health (30s/male/Gifu Prefecture) ・Because neurotransmitter synthesis is not performed properly (50s/male/Niigata Prefecture) ・Symptoms such as anemia rob you of your vitality and make you more prone to mental disorders (50s/male/Miyagi Prefecture) It has been shown that the main reason for this is that the synthesis of neurotransmitters is not carried out properly, and symptoms such as anemia lead to physical and brain sluggishness, which also affects mental health. How about a service that allows you to send test kits you perform at home to a specialist?
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/50117/6/50117-6-97dab98ede4cb1886dc5a7dedd465a95-650×450.png When asked, “What do you think about test kits that allow you to easily self-check your nutritional status at home?”, over 80% of people answered “I think it’s very good (31.3%)” “I think it’s good (56.2%)” I answered. Many people seem to like test kits that allow them to easily check their nutritional status at home. By creating a biochemically optimal nutritional environment, analyzing nutritional deficiencies such as proteins, vitamins, trace elements, and fatty acids, and replenishing the optimal amount, we can improve the “individual life cycle” that may be the root cause of poor health. There is a field of “molecular nutrition” that aims to repair “chemical imbalances and deficiencies” and maintain further health through restoring health and improving diet. How many people have studied it?
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/50117/6/50117-6-429b3402fbda2205a1077b191efb10fb-650×450.png So, when we asked the question, “Have you ever studied molecular nutrition professionally?”, over 70% of the respondents answered “Yes (76.4%)” I answered. This time’s monitor selection was a question on “nutrition and health,” so it seems that those who had studied molecular nutrition answered positively. Finally, when we asked the question, “What do you think about a service that allows people who are unable to visit their desired medical institution to send test results conducted at home directly to a specialist?” “I think it’s very good (33.6%)” “I think it’s good (55.1%)” I answered. ■About a service that allows you to send home test results directly to a specialist [I think it’s very good] ・I can manage my physical condition (40s/male/Tokyo) ・Easy and convenient (40s/Male/Gunma Prefecture) – Leads to early resolution (40s/male/Tokyo) ・Lowering the hurdles to seeing a doctor (50s/male/Chiba Prefecture) [I think it’s good] ・Necessary to improve self-medication (30s/female/Kanagawa Prefecture) ・Because the test can be done efficiently and the results can be seen for both parties (40s/Male/Kanagawa Prefecture) ・Due to a shortage of doctors (man in his 50s/Nagasaki prefecture) ・It is easy for the doctor in charge of treatment to understand the nutritional status (50s/female/Shiga Prefecture) It turns out that the service that allows you to send the test results you take at home to a specialist is good for a variety of reasons, including the fact that it’s easy and convenient and allows you to manage your own health. [Summary] Iron deficiency can lead to not only physical health but also mental health problems! Self-administer using test kits The results of this survey revealed that it is necessary to consciously ingest protein, B vitamins, and iron for good health. Although many doctors answered in this survey that many people are sick or pre-sick due to lack of specific nutrients, they do not conduct interviews, tests, or provide guidance regarding various nutrients during medical treatment. Many general clinicians currently do not fully consider nutritional status in their diagnosis. In addition, iron deficiency not only affects the body, such as anemia, but also leads to mental illness, so it is necessary to know your own iron content in order to stay mentally and physically healthy, so check your nutritional status at home. It has been shown that a large number of doctors are positive about the test kits that can be used. In addition, nearly 90% of respondents had a positive attitude regarding the demand for a service that allows people who are unable to visit their desired medical institution to send test results directly to a specialist at home. Why not use a test kit that you can easily check at home, not only for your physical health but also for your mental health? For physical and mental health management, “Easy ferritin test at home!” ”

[The cause of painful physical and mental disorders may be a lack of nutrients such as ferritin, protein, and vitamins] A possible cause of mental illness is thought to be a decrease in the synthesis of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, due to a potential lack of nutrients. Latent iron deficiency occurs when there is insufficient ferritin, an iron protein that stores iron, the most important mineral for body and brain metabolism, and releases iron when needed, resulting in dizziness, sluggishness, palpitations, and depression. Symptoms such as irritability, irritability, etc. appear both physically and mentally. However, ferritin is not a standard item in regular blood tests, and even if it is tested, the results are considered normal if they are within standard values. This is because the standard value is a statistical value, and since half of Japanese women are iron deficient, the parameter itself is low, so it is not the ideal value. However, if ferritin shows a high value, inflammation is suspected, so CRP (C-reactive protein), which tests the inflammatory response in the body, is also tested at the same time, making it possible to evaluate the appropriateness of the ferritin value. When iron deficiency is combined with protein or vitamin deficiencies, the risk of unexplained complaints and mental illnesses such as depression increases. Analyze your nutritional deficiencies through blood test kits available at home or at work. [Ferritin test at home! ] When using standard test kit *4
