What are Vitamins?

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Vitamins are essential. Vitamins must be obtained from the diet because the body either does not produce the vitamins or the vitamins are not produced in large amounts.

Vitamin A is good for vision, immune system, plus growth and development. Vitamin A helps maintain a normal cell function called differentiation that is common to everyone.

Vitamin C is good for immune system, cholesterol health, arterial health, and wound healing. Vitamin C encourages collagen. Collagen is a protein that holds the cells in place, and promotes healthy, flexible, blood vessels.  (more…)

Vitamin C and Heart Health

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Vitamin C can help maintain healthy arteries. Arteries consist of collagen and citamin C encourages collagen, a material that is important to the structure of the arteries. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant that helps maintain the health of the arteries by minimizing the oxidation of the cholesterol. Our circulatory system consisting of the heart and blood vessels is the very reason that we are alive.

 One of the reasons that we watch our cholesterol number and diet is to help slow down the deposits on the artery wall that form over time blocking the arteries and restricting blood flow. It would be a smart approach to do good things for our arteries before this damage occurs and put the same amount of focus on prevention as we do with treatment.

Why does Res-Q Multi have high percentages (RDA) of B Vitamins?

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Blood levels of homocysteine are related to blood levels of Vitamin B12 and Folate. One Serving (3 caplets) of Res-Q Multi contains 800 micrograms of folic acid and 500mcg of Vitamin B12 in order to provide the right amount to help maintain a healthy homocysteine level.  The amounts of folic acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 in Res-Q’s multivitamin are safe levels that do not exceed the upper limits for safe, vitamin intake-levels. If the percentages of daily value are greater than or equal to 100%, it means that the supplement meets the minimum daily requirements for that vitamin needed to prevent disease realted to vitamin deficiency.  If the percentage is less than 100%, it does not contain enough of that vitamin to meet daily requirements. The RDA is NOT a maximum intake level.   View Label Below:

Do vitamin deficiencies increase your risk of disease?

Res-Q Multi Supplement FactsMaintaining a healthy homocysteine level may improve the health of your cardiovascular system.  

 

A meta-analysis of clinical studies involving 1,114 people and 12 trials, revealed that taking folic acid supplements containing at least .5 milligrams (500 micrograms) and adding a similar amount of Vitamin B12 can reduce homocysteine levels by at least 25%.

Based on the evidence presented in these studies, this amount of reduction in homocysteine would reduce the average homocysteine level of the Western diet enough to improve cardiovascular health mortality rates and have an impact on the well being of the population. This is the reason for the amounts of folic acid and Vitamin B12 that we have included in the Res-Q Multi.

Some people supplement their diet with a multivitamin to ensure their needs are met. Res-Q Multi is a multivitamin specifically formulated to meet both cardiovascular health and general health needs.

How much folic acid and Vitamin B12 do you obtain everyday from your daily diet?

Complete Heart Health Part IV: Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Health

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Is elevated cholesterol the only thing that can harm arteries?  

Res-Q Multi

According to the British Medical Journal, studies now show a connection with arterial health problems and elevated blood homocysteine.

The American Heart Association also has information on homocysteine. Many medical journals now have information and studies on homocysetine.

However, in 1969, when Dr. McCully first suggested that homocysteine may be a new cause of heart disease, he was shunned, just as new original ideas often are. Now more studies have emerged and we can now see that certain vitamins play an important role in promoting healthy arteries and a healthy cardiovascular system by helping the metabolism of homocysteine, “a new possible cause of heart disease.” (more…)

Low Levels of Vitamin D Associated with Heart Risk

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Recent studies show that those with low levels of Vitamin D have increased cardiovascular health risks.

After ten years, the Health Professionals Follow Up Study published in the June issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, showed a relationship between insufficient levels of Vitamin D and risk of heart attack compared with those with sufficient levels. This information shows that Vitamin D deficiency may jeopardize cardiovascular health. (more…)

Res-Q Multi is a Heart-Healthy Multivitamin

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Res-Q Multi Res-Q Multi is not only a complete multivitamin, but it is also a heart-healthy formula. Specifically developed to support cardiovascular health, the daily  dosage of 3 caplets provides the desired level of nutrients, vitamins and minerals for optimal support of a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. Res-Q Multi supports a healthy cardiovascular system, helps maintain healthy arteries, encourages heart function, and maintains homocysteine health.

General Health Benefits of Res-Q Multi: support of a healthy immune system and cell function, energy, nervous system health and the antioxidants found in Res-Q Multi promote good health.

Maintaining a healthy homocysteine level is good for cardiovascular health
 Homocysteine is an amino acid produced within the body for beneficial chemical reactions important to the function of the body. However, if proper nutrition is not provided to process, break down and convert this amino acid, then homocysteine levels could climb. Research shows a connection between elevated homocysteine levels and poor arterial health. Res-Q Multi contains the correct levels of Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and folic acid as identified in clinical studies to help the body convert homocysteine.

A multivitamin is one of the top five supplements commonly recommended by famous doctors. Of all the supplements that you take for good health, a multivitamin should definitely be one of them. As healthy as we try to eat, we know that we may not be getting the minimum amount of what we need daily for good health.

Vitamins and minerals are important for maintaining good health. Vitamins are essential for health, normal growth and activity of the body. Vitamins must be obtained from our diet because our body does not produce them or they are not produced in large enough amounts. Minerals are naturally occurring chemical elements that our body utilizes in order to maintain proper health.

Unlike some low-potency multivitamins found in stores where you pay for very low levels of nutrition, Res-Q Multi is a pure, and potent multivitamin, with a focus on heart health that delivers a proper level of nutrition for maximum health.
