A Major Risk Factor for Heart Disease: High Cholesterol

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

High cholesterol leads to heart disease. In fact, high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and the higher your cholesterol is, the greater your chance of developing atherosclerosis, fatty deposits formed from cholesterol that collect in the arteries and restrict blood flow. According to the American Heart Association, “As blood cholesterol rises, so does risk of coronary heart disease.” 

However, this major risk factor is a risk factor that you have the power to change! (more…)


Complete Heart Health Part VII: What is Lpa?

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Lpa is an independent predictor of the risk of cardiovascular disease.  Similar to LDL cholesterol, Lpa is a lipoprotein that contains cholesterol and can be damaging to the arteries. The Lpa is a tiny particle that circulates in the blood. These small particles of cholesterol are thought to be very damaging to the arteries if levels are elevated. 

Res-Q HDL+ may help maintain Lpa at its normal level in order to help keep Lpa from rising.  Niacin helps lower the secretion of apo B containing Lipoproteins and improves cardiovascular health. (more…)


New All-Natural Ways to Lower Your Cholesterol

Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin supports cholesterol.

Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin supports cholesterol.

It was recently reported on the news that a diet low in carbohydrates reduced cholesterol levels. This diet may have been successful while others failed, because vegetable sources were used. Sometimes low carbohydrate diets can tend to be high in animal products which contribute to the intake of dietary cholesterol.

Many people struggle to maintain a normal cholesterol level. Dietary fluctuations could cause a good cholesterol number to increase.
 
However, the right natural products help maintain a cholesterol level that is already normal. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin is a safe, all-natural product that contains an ingredient that is known to lower LDL cholesterol levels by blocking the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the digestive tract.
   
Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without the added niacin. For complete heart health benefits, please take Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin, in conjunction with Res-Q 1250, our potent omega-3 supplement.

For more information on Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin and Res-Q 1250, visit us online at http://www.myresqproducts.com/, email us at sales@n3inc.com, or call one of our friendly Res-Q Consultants at 1-800-26 ALIVE.

What are Lipoproteins?

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

The liver surrounds cholesterol with protein so that the cholesterol is able to be travel through the bloodstream, producing a lipoprotein to carry the blood fats called lipids.

High Density Lipoprotein
The high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is the “good cholesterol” that excess cholesterol sticks to. HDL takes cholesterol from the blood to the liver for disposal. You don’t want this number to be low because this is “good cholesterol.” Therefore, a high number of HDL is good. Niacin has been shown in clinical studies to increase HDL cholesterol levels. Res-Q HDL+ contains the best kind of niacin. For the best results, take Res-Q HDL+ along with Res-Q 1250.

Low Density Lipoprotein
The low density lipoprotein is the LDL cholesterol. Too much of the LDL cholesterol is associated with heart disease. A lower number is better. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin contains plant sterols. Clinical studies show that plant sterols reduce LDL. Plant sterols are popular for this reason. For the best health, take Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin along with Res-Q 1250, our primary product for cholesterol well-being.

Plant Sterols and Heart Disease

Thursday, February 26th, 2009
Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available with niacin.

Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available with niacin.

In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration approved a health claim for plant sterols and heart disease. The FDA states that “Foods containing at least .65 grams per serving of plant sterol esters, consumed twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 grams, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” A one caplet serving of Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin (Res-Q LDL-x2), contains .65 grams of plant sterols, taken twice a day with meals, equals a daily total intake of 1.3 grams of plant sterol esters. The FDA further acknowledges that “the scientific evidence established that including plant sterols in the diet helps to lower blood total and LDL cholesterol levels.”

 Plant Sterols are an active ingredient in Res-Q LDL-x2. Res-Q LDL-x2 works in conjunction with Res-Q 1250 to promote good cardiovascular health by promoting circulation and cholesterol well-being. The plant sterols in Res-Q LDL-x2 reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol and inhibit the re-absorption of body-produced cholesterol. (more…)


Recent News: Are cholesterol concerns on the rise?

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

It seems that more people need help for their cholesterol. According to USA Today, “80% of men older than 50 and women older than 60 should be taking a cholesterol-lowering drug, raising the total for whom the drugs are recommended to 44.7 million. That’s an increase of more than 11 million people.”

With cholesterol concerns increasing, natural products may be in big demand. Our live call-in radio shows help people by offering diet and weight management advice in addition to all-natural dietary supplements.

For some people, natural solutions could mean less medication. We advise our customers not to stop their medications on their own. By not making any changes, the results of taking the Res-Q products can be measured. Some of our customers have not started medicine yet. The results of taking Res-Q products can be seen after 6-8 weeks. As always, continue to work with your doctor.

The Total Cholesterol number consists of HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides (blood fats) and LDL (cholesterol). By addressing multiple factors, Res-Q products provide combined benefits. Res-Q 1250 is effective for triglyceride reduction. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin contains a well-known ingredient that helps encourage LDL reduction. Use Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin and Res-Q 1250 for the best benefits. Res-Q HDL+ may be used to help promote HDL, the good cholesterol. That’s 44 million people, that, with the right information, have the power to change their life.

What is metabolic syndrome?

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

“Metabolic syndrome refers to a cluster of risk factors for diabetes and heart disease — including abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides (another type of blood fat). The syndrome is typically diagnosed when a person has three or more of these conditions.”1

Recently, it was reported that having metabolic syndrome increases the risk of future kidney problems. Metabolic syndrome also increases your risk of cardiovascular health problems.

HDL – The Artery Wall Defenders

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Studies show that risk for arterial health problems (build up on the artery wall) is directly related to the HDL number, the good cholesterol called high density lipoprotein. In fact, even those with a good cholesterol number, are at risk when their good cholesterol number declines. What is too low of an HDL? Is it below 40 or below 50? While mixed opinions remain regarding what the magic number is for too low of an HDL for men and women, one piece of information remains consistent: a higher HDL is better for your heart health.

As reported in the Journals of the American Heart Association, “Studies show that for every 1-mg/dl rise in HDL-C )1 milligram HDL-C per 1 deciliter of blood, the risk for developing cardiovascular disease decreases by 2% to 3%.”

HDL, the good cholesterol promotes a process known as “reverse cholesterol transport.” This process has been compared to a mop that helps to absorb excess cholesterol on the arterial wall and sweeps it back to the liver for disposal through normal bodily functions. Clinical studies have linked potent fish oils, meaning the fish oils rich in omega-3 content, and niacin with successful results. Take Res-Q HDL+ with Res-Q 1250 to help maintain a healthy HDL number.

 

Weight loss has also been linked with raising the HDL. For extra support with your weight loss program, try Res-Q TrimSystem, our weight loss aid. Test, Call 1-800-26-ALIVE NOW for more information.


Complete Heart Health Part V: Oxidized Cholesterol

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Which is more harmful “cholesterol” or “oxidized cholesterol” ?

Antioxidants help inhibit the oxidation process which makes cholesterol harmful to the arteries. In fact, the medical reports that the doctors read, report that oxidative stress has been linked to arteriosclerosis in postmenopausal women. The importance of antioxidants for heart and cholesterol health can not be underestimated.

For this reason, we recommend using Res-Q CellPower, an antioxidant supplement, for those taking Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin and Res-Q 1250 to continue to maintain their cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range, because the reason we watch our cholesterol levels is to promote the health of our arteries.

Why is omega-3 good for arteries?

Friday, August 29th, 2008

 

Res-Q 1250 is available as capsules or liquid.

Res-Q 1250 is available as capsules or liquid.

Is it the cholesterol number?

 

A recent review of a multitude of clinical studies conducted on omega-3 reported that omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oils called EPA and DHA can change cholesterol into subtypes of cholesterol that are less as likely to stick to your arteries.

 Omega-3’s can change LDL cholesterol.

Our family of Res-Q customers are simply ecstatic about their results when their doctors looked at their arteries.

Res-Q 1250, our omega-3 supplement, is designed to encourage arterial health and elasticity, the real reason that we watch our cholesterol in the first place. (more…)
