Take Us to Heart! The Top Five Best Vitamin and Mineral Supplements to Help Prevent Heart Disease

Monday, June 7th, 2010

When I talk about heart disease, I like to mention up front something that many people do not realize: heart disease is mostly preventable. I say “mostly” because there is a small number of risk factors that increase your chances of getting heart disease  that cannot be changed: race, sex, age, genetics and family history. But there is a much larger list of  factors associated with heart disease can be changed. For example:  

  • Quit smoking
  • Limit alcohol intake
  • Manage stress
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Exercise routinely
  • Cut back on foods high in saturated and trans fats
  • Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fiber and fish

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…)

Res-Q LDL-x2 promotes reduced absorption of dietary cholesterol, circulation, cholesterol health and arterial health. Res-Q LDL-x2 contains safe and natural ingredients such as policosanol and plant sterols that address dietary cholesterol in the digestive tract.  Res-Q LDL-x2 is a nice addition to any cholesterol health supplement-regimen.

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. Clinical studies show that plant sterols and red yeast rice  reduce LDL.

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…)

What are the ingredients in Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin?

Friday, December 19th, 2008
Call toll free 1-800-26-ALIVE
 Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without niacin.

 Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin contains plant sterols, policosanol, and No-Flush niacin. 

 Plant sterols, called “phytosterol esters” occur naturally in many plants and foods, but not at a level which reduces cholesterol. Only from supplementing the diet with a sufficent level of plant sterols can you achieve maximum benefits for cholesterol well-being. Plant sterols inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the digestive tract providing the additional benefit of working on the dietary portion of cholesterol. 

Policosanol is an all-natural extract from the sugar-cane plant. Although policosanol is derived from sugar cane, it is from the waxy coating of the sugar cane, and therefore does not contain any significant amount of carbohydrates. Policosanol is also safe for diabetics. (more…)

The Basic Starter Pack

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

N3OCEANIC offers a more complete approach to cholesterol care with additional emphasis on total cardiovascular health. The products in our basic starter pack offers multiple benefits for cardiovascular health. Including in this package is lots and lots of extra free product to help introduce the first time customer to the cholesterol care offered by the Res-Q product line.

When reordering, ask to put these specific products on your convenience plan, and continue to save and enjoy the benefits of automatic delivery: consistent usage, savings, and continual results.

Here is some more information about the products including in our basic starter pack:

Res-Q products should be used in combination for optimal cardiovascular health. For example, Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin (also available without Niacin) is formulated to work with Res-Q 1250 and Res-Q Cell Power to achieve complete cholesterol well-being.

Res-Q 1250 is a highly purified and potent form of omega 3, that provides adults with the proper balance of essential heart healthy omega 3- fatty acids to support circulation, arterial elasticity, encourage the reduction of triglycerides, balance inflammation, maintain cholesterol levels already within normal range, and further cholesterol health benefits when used along with Res-Q LDL-x2. For example, triglycerides are a part of your total cholesterol number.

Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin: Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin is a more comprehensive formulation of No-Flush Niacin, plant sterol esters, and policosanol to provide more complete benefits for cardiovascular health such as promoting circulation, and maintaining healthy veins and arteries. Additionally, Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin contains an ingredient (plant sterols) to addresses the dietary portion of cholesterol. No-Flush Niacin encourages vasodilation which promotes expanded (relaxed) blood vessels supporting healthy blood flow to the heart.

Res-Q CellPower: Res-Q Cell Power helps maintain healthy veins and arteries, and supports a healthy cardiovascular system. Antioxidants (compounds that fight free radicals) help keep cholesterol from oxidizing, and encourage cholesterol in its already healthy state. Cholesterol that has been oxidized and chemically altered becomes harmful to healthy arteries.

Res-Q CellPower includes Co-Q10 in addition to many other powerful antioxidants. It is very important to supplement the body’s own production of Co-Q10 when on any cholesterol health program. Co-Q10 (a powerful antioxidant), and cholesterol partially share the same production pathway in the liver. CoQ10 helps maintain healthy muscles and supports heart function by promoting cellular energy within a healthy heart muscle.

Res-Q HDL+, our no-flush form of Niacin, consisting of 6 molecules of Niacin surrounding one molecule of Inositol, is formulated for use with Res-Q products, and has multiple unique cardiovascular benefits. Niacin has been shown in clinical studies to increase HDL (the good cholesterol) levels, and promote circulation. Expanded (relaxed) blood vessels allow more room for blood flow. Niacin encourages the production of larger more buoyant lipoproteins. Smaller, more compact cholesterol particles are more harmful to healthy arteries than larger, fluffier, more buoyant cholesterol particles. The size of the cholesterol is an additional factor in heart health. The HDL number, also known as the “good” cholesterol, is a part of your total cholesterol number. The good cholesterol helps carry cholesterol away from artery walls. In fact, the amount of good cholesterol (HDL) to total cholesterol may be more valuable to know than knowing only the total cholesterol number.
