Res-Q CellPower, Antioxidants, and Heart Health

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Res-Q CellPower provides a unique combination of powerful antioxidants, such as astaxanthin, Co-Q10, Lycopene, Lutein, and Selenium, and the highly-stable antioxidant in the fat-soluble form of Vitamin C, known as ascorbyl palmitate. The antioxidants in Res-Q CellPower are added to salmon oil, which serves as a base for the ingredients.

As suggested by name Res-Q CellPower, Res-Q CellPower promotes cell health, and helps maintain healthy cells by neutralizing free radicals. Excessive amounts of free radicals, as is the case from smoking and pollution, may cause harm to healthy cells.

Antioxidants promote cell health by neutralizing free radicals. Antioxidants are important to the health of the cells in our body, and everyone needs antioxidants for health balance. Co-Q10 is also utilized for energy production within the “power-plant” of the cell.

Antioxidants also help maintain healthy arteries, and are important to those on a cholesterol control program, or anyone interested in heart health. Healthy arteries are the means of supplying blood flow to the heart, and keeping arteries in their already healthy condition is so important to continual heart health care.

Omega-3 News: Omega-3s and Cholesterol

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Are you taking a statin medication for cholesterol?

If so, you should be taking an omega-3 supplement.

A randomized placebo-controlled clinical study revealed that adding 4 grams of omega-3 EPA/DHA to statin drug therapy, can reduce triglycerides by almost 30%!
   
Obviously statin drugs are not enough.  Adding beneficial nutrients to a statin drug improves the outcome.
   
Taking omega-3 EPA and DHA did not raise the LDL cholesterol, and it is interesting to note that after 8 weeks of supplement use, the LDL particle size was larger in the group taking omega-3. It is thought that the size of cholesterol (the size of the LDL), may be important to know, just like the amount of cholesterol, the cholesterol number (Example: LDL, non-HDL, and Total Cholesterol) is important to know.   A larger cholesterol-size may be less likely to harm the arteries, then a smaller cholesterol-size.

Protect your aging heart.

Protect your aging heart.

The effects of aging on the heart can lead to death.

Everyone ages.

Resveratrol has been shown in a recently released study to inhibit the effects of aging on the heart, helping to maintain a healthy heart function.

Since heart health is most important with respect to living a long ,healthy life, natural ingredients that would help play a role in keeping the heart young, fighting the toll that age takes on the heart, would be fundamental to achieving a longer mortality, and staying in good health.

The amounts of resveratrol used in studies that demonstrate the health benefits of resveratrol are not attainable from diet. Only from a resveratrol extract, can you obtain a concentrated amount of this natural phytochemical found in red grape skins, and red wine. It would take anywhere from 50-100 or even more glasses of red wine to equal the amount of resveratrol found in Res-Q Resveratrol, Red Wine Extract.
