You Asked: What are the Benefits for Adults with ADD and ADHD taking omega 3?

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
The omega-3 fatty acids help support a normal brain function. Adults take Res-Q 1250. A lot of studies in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have been conducted on children. However, adults may obtain the same results. Some of our customers tell us that their children pay attention better, sit and focus longer than they used to. 
   
Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been found in these children. Since omega-3 has to be converted into EPA and DHA, supplementation with a potent grade of EPA/DHA is necessary, because the body gets a direct supply of EPA and DHA. Therefore, supplementation may help correct the deficiency.

If a poor dietary intake or a poor ability to metabolize omega-3 into active omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA is happening, then supplementing the diet with a direct source of EPA and DHA, such as Res-Q 1250, would be beneficial to restore levels.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important to the brain development, health, structure, and function of the brain which is comprised of fats. It has been suggested that the type of fat consumed can affect the function of the brain. Only from specific fatty fish can we obtain a sufficient amount of the good omega-3 fats from diet. Due to the fact that children don’t like fish, fish is not consumed often enough, and safety issues surround fish consumption, if you are looking for a very good supplement to give your child, a pure, safe omega-3 fatty acid supplement would be very beneficial to supplement the diet to help ensure that omega-3 is obtained. Your brain relies on omega-3 fatty acids for proper health, and function.

Omega-3 News: Omega-3 and Memory

Res-Q 1250 Capsules and Liquid Lemon Res-Q 1250 helps combat mild memory loss
associated with aging

In a recent study, the omega-3 fatty acid DHA increased production of a protein that promotes brain health.

The latest information on omega-3 shows us what omega-3 does in the brain. DHA encourages the production of a protein called LR11 that promotes a healthy brain. LR11 helps maintain a healthy brain by reducing the “amyloid precursor protein”, a harmful protein involved in beta-amyloid plaque formation.

This study suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA, plays a role in the brain to help maintain a healthy brain and even may help fight off the mild memory loss associated with aging that is common to all of us as we grow older.

Help combat mild memory loss associated with aging with Res-Q 1250, our highly potent, highly purified, safe and effective omega-3 supplement, rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

Purchase Res-Q 1250 or call 1-800-26-ALIVE for more information.

Resveratrol is good for the brain

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
j0234673Resveratrol, a phytochemical found in the skin of red grapes, and red wine, has powerful antioxidant abilities and numerous known cardiovascular benefits as demonstrated by science.

By taking Res-Q Resveratrol, maximum benefits are provided that can not be achieved from drinking a glass or two of red wine and without the side effects of alcohol.

As an antioxidant, resveratrol supports a healthy brain, cells, and blood vessels by neutralizing free radicals. Over time the effects of excess free radicals may lead to poor health, mild memory loss associated with the natural process of aging, and even poor arterial health.

A study published in Nueroreport showed resveratrol’s great potential to actually help maintain healthy brain function as we grow older. “The combination of resveratrol and vitamin C and/or E was more effective in protecting the cell than was any of these three antioxidants alone.”

This study points out the importance of using more than one antioxidant product. By using multiple antioxidants you are maximizing your brain health potential. Resveratrol’s powerful antioxidant properties and multiple health benefits, makes resveratrol a “must have” in your antioxidant regimen.
