How does Res-Q 1250 compare to leading brands of fish oil?

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Market Research Report

We examined Res-Q 1250 and compared Res-Q 1250 with all the major brands that we could find at the local pharmacy, grocery store, discount stores, and on the internet. We discovered that people are paying far more for their omega-3’s at the store, and even online. For example, one name-brand product that we examined contained less EPA and DHA per capsule than one Res-Q 1250 capsule. The bottle also contained 100 capsules. Res-Q 1250 contains 200 capsules. In fact, it took 14 of these fish oil capsules to equal the amount of EPA and DHA in 6 Res-Q 1250 Capsules.

It took 14 fish oil capsules to equal 6 Res-Q 1250 Capsules! (more…)

Antioxidants and Living Longer!

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Smoking increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease
Antioxidants can help us live longer. Everyone can benefit from antioxidants, but if you are a smoker, it may be even more important to take antioxidants. It was recently reported that older adults who smoke have an increased risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Of course, quitting smoking would be the best thing to do.

Free radicals harm the brain
Clinical studies on Alzheimer’s disease show a connection between free radicals and Alzheimer’s disease. Free radicals, which are by-products of normal bodily processes, can be harmful in excess quantities. Free radicals can be triggered by pollution and smoking.

Smoking triggers excess free-radical production.
Free radicals attack cells. The attacked cells attack more cells causing a chain reaction of damage to the body. This happens because free radicals are missing an electron and steal electrons from other atoms, then those atoms are missing electrons. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by lending an electron or by otherwise stabilizing the free radicals so the free radical does not harm the body.

Modern diets lack antioxidants
Diets lacking sufficient fruits and vegetables may lack antioxidants. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants can benefit health and increase longevity. Studies show that using multiple antioxidants works better than using just one antioxidant. Studies show that antioxidants can help maintain a healthy brain.

Antioxidants help maintain a healthy brain
One of our best antioxidant products is Res-Q CellPower. Another great antioxidant product that helps protect the brain from free radicals is Res-Q Resveratrol. Research shows that using the ingredients in both products together would produce maximum benefits for the health of the brain. Res-Q Multi, our heart healthy multivitamin, contains vitamins, minerals, heart-healthy ingredients, and a variety of antioxidants also.

More About Melatonin…

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Double-blind placebo controlled study.

According to a study published in The Journal of Sleep Research, melatonin users felt more refreshed in the morning, and fell asleep faster than non-melatonin users. The relevance of using melatonin in this study is that melatonin is the key chemical responsible for our sleep cycle.
 
The study was conducted on patients with “Delayed sleep phase syndrome.” Delayed sleep phase syndrome is a sleep disturbance of the circadian rhythm. Patients with delayed sleep phase syndrome can’t seem to fall asleep quickly, and when they do fall asleep, it’s not until the middle of the night or early morning, regardless of what time they get up.

Is the Triglyceride Form of Omega-3 Better than Ethyl Ester?

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

No. The truth is that ethyl esters perform just as well in the body as triglycerides do. 

In a twelve week randomized crossover study, an ethyl ester concentrate of EPA and DHA was compared with a triglyceride-based fish oil. Both preparations reduced triglycerides by 50%.1 It is the level of omega-3 essential fatty acids consumed daily that is imperative to attaining results, and NOT whether the supplement is in a triglyceride form or an ethyl ester form.

As mentioned by Vascular Health and Risk Managment, “A 50% ethyl ester concentrate of EPA–DHA (“Himega”) was compared with a triglyceride-based fish oil in 13 hypertriglyceridemic persons in a twelve week randomized crossover study (Simons et al 1990). Both preparations lowered triglycerides by 50% in doses of 2 g/day or 4 g/day.” (more…)

Omega-3 News: Pregnant Women and Baby’s Vision

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
 

High DHA Supplement

Res-Q’s omega-3 supplements provide more omega-3s for less. Safe to take when pregnant and breastfeeding, Res-Q’s omega-3 supplements can be recommended when other supplements cannot. Studies show that omega-3 is so beneficial that the idea of not obtaining omega-3 when pregnant may cause more harm than good.

Due to water pollution, pregnant women cannot obtain enough omega-3 from fish due to concern over heavy metals. The Res-Q omega-3  dietary supplement is a purified, safe form of omega-3. Metals and oxidative impurities are removed through a specialized purification process.    

A new study shows more DHA is better. By comparing vision at four months of age, and dividing the infants into multiple groups, a new study sheds light on the subject of just how much omega-3 pregnant women need. Babies fed a higher dose of DHA compared with a lower dose of DHA, had better vision.
      
Omega-3 fats promote visual development in babies and are a very beneficial supplement for women to take on a regular basis.The study determined that one gram of DHA was better than the typical dose used, which is far less. 
     
How much omega-3s do I need?  
Since the optimal amount of omega-3s remains to be established, pregnant and nursing women should consult their doctor for dosage recommendations and for administration to children under one year of age. It is still very important to work closely with your doctor regarding dietary requirements for infants, and make sure that your doctor knows what supplements you take. As we learn more, we continue to share information with physicians and customers.Visit us online at

What about omega-3 eggs as a source of DHA?

Monday, January 5th, 2009

 

There is not enough omega-3s in omega-3 eggs. Don’t think that you can skip taking an omega-3 supplement. You need to take an omega-3 supplement derived from a fish source to obtain a beneficial level of omega-3 fatty acids.   

We looked at a brand-name omega-3 egg with DHA. We compared the amount of DHA to the DHA supplement in Res-Q 1250.
