Niacin Benefits

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Res-Q HDL+Res-Q HDL+ provides niacin in a special form of niacin commonly referred to as no-flush niacin.  Some of the health benefits of Res-Q HDL+: improved circulation, better cardiovascular health, and promotion of HDL, the good cholesterol that picks up excess cholesterol in the bloodstream and carries it away. 

One of the health benefits of niacin is the reduced secretion of apoB containing lipoproteins: VLDL, LDL, and Lpa. By promoting the reduction of excess lipoproteins such as Low Density Lipoprotein also known as LDL cholesterol, niacin benefits the health of the arteries. (more…)

Plant Sterols and Heart Disease

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…)

 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…)

How Does Policosanol Work?

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without niacin.

Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without niacin.

Over 90 scientific abstracts on policosanol reveal the safety and health benefits of policosanol. In fact, policosanol may be used with omega-3 supplements made from fish oils to help maintain a cholesterol level that is already normal.
   
In a clinical study, policosanol did not have a direct effect on the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA Reductase. Policosanol promoted LDL cholesterol binding, processing and degradation in the liver. It is proposed by researchers that policosanol may work in the liver at an earlier step in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. The exact mechanism is not fully understood.
  
However, we do know that Policosanol does not directly inhibit the same enzyme in the liver that statins work on, and is gaining recognition and increased popularity for this reason, especially as people turn to supplement use to seek new, safe solutions to better their health and longevity. Many clinical trials to determine the efficacy of policosanol compared policosanol with low-dose statin drugs. (more…)
