Res-Q Probiotic helps maintain good health


We are living things. We consist of living things as well. In the digestive tract lives many living things called microorganisms. Some of this is good bacteria and some of this is bad bacteria that can make us sick, cause disease, or make us unhealthy. To help protect ourselves from bad bacteria, we can supplement the diet with good beneficial microorganisms that encourage a healthy balance of life in our digestive system. Probiotics are good microorganisms that provide health benefits to those who take them. Probiotics help maintain good health and wellness by providing good bacteria to help encourage bacterial balance in our digestive system. Microorganisms promote an immune response when crossing the barriers into the internal environment. Our immune system must then seek out and destroy the harmful invaders to protect us from harm. Certain types of bacteria can provoke an immune response and increase inflammation. Since good bacteria and bad bacteria compete for space in your digestive system, the good bacteria helps keep bad bacteria in check, which in turn helps maintain a healthy immune function. The specific probiotic strains in Res-Q ProBiotic support a healthy immune response, and have been shown in clinical studies to have many types of beneficial health effects on the functioning of the immune system. Antibiotics are known to destroy the good beneficial bacteria thus increasing the need to supplement with probiotics to restore intestinal balance when taking antibiotics.

Does No-Flush Niacin help HDL ?


Healthy cholesterol known as HDL, helps carry cholesterol away from the artery wall. Having a high good cholesterol number called HDL is good for cardiovascular health. Niacin has been shown in clinical studies to increase HDL. Because No Flush Niacin is simply niacin that is arranged around a molecule of inositol, it is possible to obtain all of the same cardiovascular health benefits of Niacin without side effects. Many of our customers have reported health benefits such as good cholesterol, HDL, from the use of Res-Q HDL+. Also, a german study on No-Flush Niacin and lipoproteins, categorized into groups by cholesterol type, reported a 24% increase in HDL in one of the study groups of people taking inositol nicotinate, another name for “No-Flush” Niacin, in conjunction with clofibrate. Furthermore, According to Alternative Medicine Review, “Welsh and Eade found IHN more effective than niacin in its hypocholesterolemic, antihypertensive, and lipotropic effects.” IHN refers to “Inositol Hexanicotinate.”, another technical term for the “No-Flush” form of Niacin. If you ask me if Res-Q HDL+, our No-Flush Niacin works or not, I would say, “Try it!!” You will never know unless you try it. For more information, call a Res-Q consultant by dialing 1-800-26-ALIVE.

Res-Q All Essential Enzymes promotes good digestion


Our ancestors ate raw, uncooked foods containing enzymes to help digest those foods. Today, we eat modern, processed, cooked foods lacking enzymes. Our body must produce enzymes in order to digest the foods we are eating. Supplementing the diet with enzymes puts less demands on the body to manufacture digestive enzymes, and helps maintain healthy organ function as we age. The production of digestive enzymes may decline with age. Taking digestive enzymes can help with the type of indigestion common to us all. Enzymes help speed the digestion process, and promote the digestion of foods that we consume, so we can get more from what we eat. Res-Q All Essential Enzymes combines several different kinds of enzymes for the healthy digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from the foods that we eat.

Res-Q TrimSystem features safe and effective fat burners


Increasing the metabolic rate is important for weight loss. The metabolism becomes sluggish in overweight and obese subjects placed on low calorie diets. Res-Q TrimSystem is an ephedra-free product, a safe product containing only the finest, high quality, raw materials for supporting the rate of metabolism. The raw materials are tested and have science standing behind them. The Res-Q product is manufactured in accordance with current good manufacturing practices, FDA regulatory guidelines for safe manufacturing of supplements.

Manufactured with a proprietary process, Forslean is a patented extract of the roots of the plant Coleus forskohlii, a perennial herb with fleshy fibrous roots that grows in the wild in warm subtropical areas. Unlike some other types of fat burners, Forslean works differently by directly activating the release of body fat while bypassing the need for direct hormonal activation in order to do so. Since Forslean works at a later step in the process of releasing fats to be used as energy, Forslean can safely and effectively burn fat and calories, and promote lean body mass.

Citrus aurantium is an immature fruit extract also known as Bitter orange, Seville orange, or Sour orange. Bitter orange (citrus aurantium) is made from from the peel of this citrus fruit. Unlike ephedra, Bitter orange has a shorter half life, and safely encourages the breakdown of fat for energy. Affecting only select cell surface receptors achieves the same results of fat burning yet without the side effects. Unlike harsh stimulants, the fruit extract contains a family of organic compounds that do not readily cross the blood-barrier, resulting in less stimulation of the central nervous system. Therefore, this fruit extract provides the benefits of fat burning without the high occurrences of side effects. According to a clinical study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, “..acute CA ingestion increases metabolic rate while not affecting the cardiovascular indices of heart rate and blood pressure.”
We also use green tea leaf extract. Green tea, made from tea leaves of Camellia sinesis, contains active components called flavonols that have potent antioxidant (free radical scavengers) abilities that promote good health and wellness. Weight loss claims are now being made by retailers of green tea. Green tea extract supplements have been shown to be effective in clinical studies. A study published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that absorption of flavanols from green tea supplements was superior to that of green tea beverages. Furthermore, green tea beverages may contain sugar which would go against the purpose of a weight loss regimen. The components that comprise green tea may work together having a synergistic effect to help combat weight gain, help prevent body fat formation, help you burn more fat and calories, and increase energy expenditure.

Triglycerides Versus Ethyl Esters: Fact or Fiction?

FACT: Researchers in Norway found that when 14 healthy male volunteers took equivalent amounts of omega-3 as ethyl esters or glycerol esters (triglyceride form), the absorption from both forms of omega-3 was just as good. As reported in the medical journal, “Thus, after administration twice daily for 14 days, the amounts of EPA and DHA in total serum lipids and in serum phospholipids were essentially identical for the two ester forms of the n-3 fatty acids.” [i]


FACT: Another human study comparing the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of ethyl esters or triglycerides, showed that both were well absorbed and had produced results. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, “This study showed that n-3 fatty acids in fish oil given as ethyl esters or triglycerides were equally well absorbed.”[ii]

FACT: A 14 day study of 101 people taking 5.1 grams per day of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA as ethyl esters showed beneficial results. The beneficial metabolites of fish oils are the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Results are dependent on the amount of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) consumed. [iii]

Res-Q 1250 offers an ethyl ester form of omega-3 which is appropriate for encapsulation (Res-Q 1250 Capsules), and a triglyceride form (Res-Q 1250 Liquid) which is appropriate for a liquid product. Both products are equally effective. Both products are formulated to provide similar levels of EPA/DHA which is necessary for desired results, and to last just as long when taken as directed, providing the same economic value to our customers.

Why should I take Co-Q10 ? ( Res-Q CellPower )



It is possible for people to not have sufficient levels of Co-Q10. Co-Q10 declines with age, and many prescriptions may deplete it. An essential part of the cardiovascular program, Co-Q10 provides tremendous heart benefits. We suggest Res-Q CellPower (Co-Q10) for everyone. It is a good idea to supplement the body's own production of Co-Q10, with a Co-Q10 supplement to ensure that you have enough Co-Q10 in your body to improve your overall cardiovascular health. Co-Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that provides cellular energy to all your cells, including your heart. Antioxidants fight free radicals. Free radicals can cause cellular damage. Free radicals are made by our body. Co-Q10 is an ingredient found in Res-Q CellPower, a combination of antioxidants to encourage the health of the arteries.

Res-Q 1250 is good for eyesight


Res-Q 1250 promotes vision health. Taking a high potency omega-3 supplement (Res-Q 1250), helps keep eyes in their already healthy condition. A systematic review and meta-analysis examining information from over seven databases, and over 9 studies, including randomized controlled trials, revealed that a high intake of omega-3 decreases the likelihood of developing a specific kind of eye health problem related to aging, later in life. The findings are published in the June Issue of Archives of Ophthalmology.


To help maintain a healthy eyesight, take Res-Q 1250, our pure, potent omega-3 supplement. Res-Q 1250 is intended to supplement the diet; the diet low in specific types of fatty fish typically provides little, or no omega-3. Furthermore, Res-Q 1250 maintains the good omega-3 fatty acids that provide the benefits of omega-3 consumption without the dangers associated with fish. This is due to a very specialized refinement process that utilizes the finest technology to deliver a superior product in freshness, potency, and purity.
