Omega-3 from fish oil, given to adults with dyslexia, improved scotopic vision, the type of vision, pertaining to the rods of the retina, and used during dim-light conditions.  DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, is found in the rod cell membranes. The rods of the retina are used to see when there is very little light. 

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in retinal cell membranes. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. (more…)

Complete Heart Health Part VII: What is Lpa?

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

How Does Resveratrol Help Blood Sugar Metabolism?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Resveratrol’s unique ability to affect specific sirtuins, referred to as a “class of proteins”1 is the reason for resveratrol’s anti-aging health benefits. However, according to a new study conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and published in Endocrinology,  resveratrol’s stimulation of sirutins located in the brain of overweight and diabetic mice helps regulate excess blood levels of sugar and insulin. This research reveals insight into exactly how resveratrol behaves.

This is not the first study to help elucidate the mechanism behind how resveratrol may help improve blood sugar metabolism. Scientists believe that resveratrol, a natural component of the red grape skins and red wine, which is also made from the red grapes, may be beneficial for the health of those with Type II diabetes.

Res-Q Resveratrol is a high-quality resveratrol supplement containing resveratrol in its most biological active form.

According to Environmental Health News, “Results from a newly published laboratory study show the compound may slow the development of protein clumps – called amyloid fibrils. The fibrils – made of beta-amyloid protein – ultimately aggregate into the distinctive plaques commonly found in Alzheimer’s patients.”

It is resveratrol that has been shown in a recent study to play a unique role in maintaining the structure and function of the brain. Res-Q Resveratrol, a high quality resveratrol supplement can be purchased by calling 1-800-26-ALIVE.
