2921. Head & Spinal Cord 11)Thoracis Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a group of disorders that occur when blood vessels or nerves in the space between your collarbone and your first rib (thoracic outlet) are compressed. This can cause shoulder and neck pain and numbness in your fingers.

What are the types of thoracic outlet syndrome?

Neurogenic TOS occurs when the nerves leading from the neck to the arm (the brachial plexus) is compressed. More than 90 percent of cases are neurogenic.

Venous TOS occurs when a vein is compressed, leading to upper body thrombosis. Five percent of cases are venous.

Arterial TOS occurs when an artery is compressed. Only about 1 percent of cases are arterial.

Sometimes, the venous and arterial syndromes are known together as vascular thoracic outlet syndrome.

# Symptoms

Thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms can vary depending on the type. When nerves are compressed, signs and symptoms of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome include:

Numbness or tingling in your arm or fingers

Pain or aches in your neck, shoulder, arm or hand

Weakening grip

Signs and symptoms of venous thoracic outlet syndrome can include:

Discoloration of your hand (bluish color)

Arm pain and swelling

Blood clot in veins in the upper area of your body

Arm fatigue with activity

Paleness or abnormal color in one or more fingers or your hand

Throbbing lump near your collarbone

Cold fingers, hands or arms

Hand and arm pain

Lack of color (pallor) or bluish discoloration (cyanosis) in one or more of your fingers or your entire hand

Weak or no pulse in the affected arm

The recommended supplement for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome are: Platinum Turmeric, Magnesium Glycinate, Nootropic Brain & Focus

1. Platinum Turmeric

Platinum turmeric, a specialized form of turmeric, which has higher concentration of curcumin, making it more potent and effective in reducing inflammation and relieving pain associated with TOS. It is believed that the anti-inflammatory properties of platinum turmeric may help reduce the compression on the nerves and blood vessels in the thoracic outlet, thereby alleviating the symptoms of TOS.

Additionally, Dr. Sous Platinum Turmeric incorporates other essential nutrients, such as glucosamine, piperine, Boswellia extract (frankincense), and several other extremely advantageous natural extracts. Black pepper's main element, piperine, has been demonstrated to block a process in your body that removes compounds like curcuminoids, promoting improved absorption.

Natural extracts have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to remedy illnesses. We harness and advance these natural extracts in modern times for optimal bioavailability and effectiveness.

Suggested Use: Take two (2) capsules once a day as a dietary supplement. For best results, take 20-30 min before a meal or as directed by your healthcare professional.

2. Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium Glycinate is a form of magnesium that is highly bioavailable and easily absorbed by the body. Magnesium itself is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, blood pressure regulation, and energy production. Studies have suggested that magnesium deficiency may contribute to muscle pain and spasms, which are common symptoms in individuals with TOS. By supplementing with Magnesium Glycinate, individuals with TOS may potentially experience a reduction in muscle pain and spasms, as well as improved nerve function. Furthermore, Magnesium Glycinate has been shown to have a calming effect on the nervous system, which may help alleviate the stress and anxiety that often accompany TOS.

Additionally it is also used as a natural sleep vitamin that helps calm the brain, to help the body relax and fall and stay asleep. By doing this the body is able to be rejuvenated.

3. Nootropic Brain & Focus

Nootropic Brain & Focus Formula contains a blend of amino acids, including Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE Bitartrate), L-Glutamine, L-Tyrosine, and GABA. These amino acids play crucial roles in neurotransmitter synthesis and brain health. DMAE Bitartrate is known for its potential to improve memory and cognitive function by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain. While Nootropic Brain & Focus Formula is primarily designed to support cognitive function, it may also have potential benefits for individuals with thoracic outlet syndrome. This condition involves compression of nerves or blood vessels in the thoracic outlet, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the upper extremities. Although the direct effects of this nootropic formula on thoracic outlet syndrome have not been extensively studied, some of its ingredients, such as L-Glutamine and L-Tyrosine, have been associated with reducing inflammation and supporting overall nerve health. As a result, individuals with thoracic outlet syndrome may experience some relief from their symptoms when using Nootropic Brain & Focus Formula.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take two (2) veggie capsules once a day. For best results, take 20-30 min before a meal with an 8oz. glass of water or as directed by your healthcare professional
