Questions about Paw Paw
Cell-Reg™
Q:
Why should I avoid supplementing with Co-Q10 or products that support
the thyroid while taking Paw Paw Cell-Reg?
A: Taking Co-Q10 or thyroid products may decrease the effectiveness
of Paw Paw Cell-Reg. Co-Q10 and thyroid stimulating-products increase
the mitochondrial ATP energy production. Compounds called acetogenins,
found in the Paw Paw Cell-Reg, act by decreasing this energy production.
Taking both products would have a counteractive effect. It is not dangerous
to take the products together, but they are both less effective.
Q:
Could I separate the time between the time I take Co-Q10 (or thyroid
support products) and Paw Paw Cell-Reg? For example, could I take Co-Q10
in the morning and Paw Paw at night?
A: NSP suggests avoiding these products altogether while taking Paw
Paw Cell-Reg.
Q:
What about antioxidants? Should I avoid those as well?
A: Taking large amounts of strong antioxidants (Vitamin A, Vitamin C,
Vitamin E, SOD, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Grapine®, etc.) may decrease
the effectiveness of Paw Paw Cell-Reg. Generally, antioxidants are beneficial
because they quench free radicals and damaging oxygen species in our
cells. With a buildup of free radicals and reactive oxygen species,
the cell will undergo a process of programmed cell death. It may be
beneficial for this to occur in certain individuals. Taking a multivitamin
and mineral should be fine.
Q:
Which products complement Paw Paw Cell-Reg?
A: Nature’s Noni (Juice or capsules), Immune Stimulator and Protease
Plus complement Paw Paw Cell-Reg.
Q:
Can I continue to take products like E-Tea® and Pau D’Arco?
A: Yes.
Q:
Can I take Paw Paw Cell-Reg with medications?
A: There are no known interactions between Paw Paw and prescription
drugs. As mentioned above, thyroid supporting herbs or drugs (i.e. Synthroid)
may have a counterproductive effect. However, NSP does not recommend
that you stop taking any thyroid drugs, unless you are under a physician’s
supervision.
Q:
Can I take more Paw Paw Cell-Reg than the label recommendations (one
capsule with food four times daily)?
A: No, NSP does not recommend exceeding label recommendations. Paw Paw
is known to cause nausea and vomiting when taken in higher doses. It
will not work better in higher amounts.
Q:
I occasionally feel some minor stomach upset after taking the Paw Paw
Cell-Reg. Can I do anything to help reduce this?
A: Although some people tend to be more sensitive to the product than
others, NSP recommends taking the Paw Paw with some food, to decrease
the incidence of stomach upset. Ginger can also be used with Paw Paw
Cell-Reg. Ginger has been used for more than 2,000 years and it has
a history of use in reducing occasional stomach upset.
