Vitamin News: Vitamin D and Mental Health

There is a direct relationship between Vitamin D levels and mental ability. Studies show that low levels of Vitamin D are associated with poor cognitive performance while high levels of Vitamin D are linked to high scores on cognitive performance tests. Health experts now believe that the intake level of Vitamin D should be higher.

Vitamin D may support brain function by influencing brain proteins associated with learning, memory, motor control, and maternal and social behavior. It is also thought that Vitamin D supports increased levels of glutathione, which works as an antioxidant.

Vitamin D may also support mood. A study on Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D3, inclusive of a group of people supplementing with 800 I.U. of Vitamin, D3, provided beneficial brain health benefits. Vitamin D3 is the more effective form of Vitamin D.

One serving of Res-Q Multi, our heart-healthy multivitamin complex, provides 800 I.U. of Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, a potent and natural form of Vitamin D3.

AMA recommends Vitamin D testing

The American Medical News, a news publication for physicians published by the American Medical Association, is encouraging physicians to perform Vitamin D testing!

Natural Vitamin D intake from both dietary sources and sunlight could be a lot less than we think, thus increasing the risk of vitamin deficiency. Therefore, testing may be an important way of uncovering Vitamin D deficiencies.

Supplementing a healthy diet with additional vitamins can help protect against vitamin deficiencies and increase vitamin levels.

Res-Q Multi is a heart-healthy multivitamin that contains Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D3.

Vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol, is the best form of Vitamin D because it is the same form that the human body makes. However, due to the necessity of sunscreen to protect the skin from skin cancer and damaging burns, and the long winter months spent inside, our bodies may not be making enough.

New All-Natural Ways to Lower Your 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.

Res-Q 1250 and Mental Health: Part I

The Omega-3 Fatty Acid EPA is Important to Mental Health

The increased prevalence of mental illness and the surge of new medications may indicate a greater need for prevention and the need to focus on the health of the brain.

Res-Q 1250, our high-potency omega-3 supplement, helps maintain a healthy mood. We include a healthy balance of both EPA and DHA, the building blocks of the brain, the majority of which is comprised of fats. Res-Q 1250 is effective because it is a direct source of the omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA, the very same active ingredients that are identified in clinical studies published in the medical journals. Res-Q 1250 contains more EPA and DHA per capsule for less.

EPA Study
Patients diagnosed with major depression disorder were given the fatty acid EPA, medication, or EPA plus medication for 8 weeks. The combination of treatment with the omega-3 fatty acid EPA plus the medication was “significantly better” than either treatment alone. In conclusion, omega-3 supplements containing EPA are beneficial to the health of the brain. Furthermore, the fatty acid EPA is as important as DHA for complete mental health.

Vitamin D and Weight Loss

Researchers from The University of Minnesota reported that having a higher vitamin D level prior to going on a diet, produced a greater amount of weight loss. Increasing Vitamin D levels increased weight loss and body fat reduction under the skin of the belly. Findings from the new study were presented at The Endocrine Society’s Annual Meeting in June, 2009, in Washington D.C.

Intake of Vitamin D may be important if you are overweight. Low levels of circulating Vitamin D are observed in obesity. The reason for the low levels of circulating Vitamin D could be partly due to accumulation of Vitamin D inside fat cells. Furthermore, Vitamin D may promote a healthy body by slowing fat cell growth.V

Vitamin intake may be important when dieting. When dieting, caloric intake is drastically reduced which can consequently result in reduced vitamin intake and increased risk of vitamin deficiencies.

Res-Q Multi, our heart-health multivitamin, is intended to supplement the diet. Res-Q Multi provides a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and additional heart-health ingredients.

The Vitamin D found in Res-Q Multi is in the form of Vitamin D3, called cholecalciferol, the more biologically active, natural form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is preferred due to its efficient ability to raise blood levels of Vitamin D.

Omega-3 News: Omega-3 Reduces Blood Pressure

Omega-3 News: Omega-3 Reduces Blood Pressure

Intake of omega-3 improved both weight loss and blood pressure. The new study just published in the Journal of Nutrition, reinforces once again, the amazing cardiovascular health potential of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. In fact, in this particular study, those obtaining a higher daily intake level of omega-3 fatty acids had better results with blood pressure than those obtaining their omega-3 fatty acids from the cod fish, which provides a lot less omega-3 per 150 grams. Although many studies have linked omega-3 with blood pressure, this population group was on an energy-restricted diet. Reductions occurred in both systolic and diastolic pressure. In other words, improvements were seen in both the top and bottom number. Since there can be many causes of high blood pressure, it is still important to continue to work with your doctor on a treatment plan.
Omega-3 supplements are now recommended by many doctors to improve heart and artery health. Made from omega-3 rich fish from the sardine and herring family, Res-Q 1250 is a potent, pure, and natural omega-3 dietary supplement that provides the proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular health.

Diabetics benefit from taking Vitamin C

Image from health-pictures.com


It is very important to maintain a healthy blood sugar level, rather than an elevated one. Elevated blood sugar can damage the blood vessels. Therefore, maintaining a healthy blood sugar level can help maintain healthy blood vessels.


Diabetics can benefit from Vitamin C intake. In a recent diabetic study, normalizing the blood sugar with insulin therapy was not enough to repair the damage that was done to the blood vessels. However, when Vitamin C was given in addition to the therapy, the blood vessels were better!

Since high-sugar foods like fruits contain Vitamin C, ensuring that diabetics receive enough Vitamin C daily to promote heart health can be challenging when maintaining a healthy blood sugar level with diet. Since elevated blood sugar and not getting enough Vitamin C can jeopardize the health of the arteries, getting enough Vitamin C and lowering the blood sugar may be one of the most important things that diabetics can do to help their arteries.

Res-Q products can help maintain arterial health. When used as part of the diet, Res-Q 105 Max is an all-natural supplement that can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level helps maintain healthy arteries. Both Res-Q CellPower, our antioxidant supplement, and Res-Q Multi, our heart-health multivitamin, contain Vitamin C. Res-Q CellPower provides an optimal blend of antioxidants that promote blood vessel health. Res-Q Multi provides complete vitamins, minerals, and heart-healthy ingredients for optimal health.

Res-Q Supplement News: Older Adults May Suffer from Malnutrition

Since low levels of vitamins are linked with increased risk of disease, it is important to receive proper nutrition in order to maintain good health and increase the chances of living longer, and feeling better. Therefore, older adults should eat as healthy as they can, and supplement the diet with a potent multivitamin.

According to a new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Not getting enough sleep can raise your blood pressure.

Why are we not getting enough Vitamin D from diet?

Studies show that Vitamin deficiencies are more common that you might think.

Milk, one of the most potent dietary sources of Vitamin D, does not give you enough Vitamin D, and is in the form of Vitamin D2, which is not as effective at maintaining Vitamin D levels as Vitamin D3, so you may have less Vitamin D in your bloodstream that you realize.

Since daily fish consumption is not recommended, due to the environmental issues with fish, getting enough Vitamin D3 to truly benefit your health could be more challenging than you think.

Many people limit the number of eggs that are consumed weekly or daily due to watching the cholesterol level, thus limiting the amount of nutrition that is consumed daily, such as Vitamin D3. Also, eggs have suboptimal levels of Vitamin D3 to begin with.

Many people may not get enough sunlight all year round in order for their body to produce enough Vitamin D3. In the winter months, we get less sunlight than we do in summer. The use of sunscreens has increased with the education of the health risks associated with UV rays. Blocking certain UV rays, also blocks the production of Vitamin D3. Could this be the reason that people are Vitamin D deficient?

Low levels of Vitamin D have been linked with health problems, thus supporting the need to ensure enough dietary intake of Vitamin D. Supplementing the diet with Vitamin D in the more biologically active form of Vitamin D3, as found in the Res-Q Multi heart-health multivitamin can help ensure enough Vitamin D intake and help maintain a healthy Vitamin D level.

Taking the recommended daily dose of Res-Q Multi provides 200% of the recommended daily value for Vitamin D3. Res-Q Multi is a heart-healthy multivitamin intended to supplement the diet. Taking Res-Q Multi helps ensure adequate daily vitamin intake in order to promote good health and wellness as well as optimal cardiovascular health.

Low Levels of Vitamin D linked with disease.

Vitamin deficiencies have been linked with disease. Vitamin D deficiencies may be more common than you think. Testing your blood levels of Vitamin D may be a good idea. Low levels of Vitamin D have been linked with multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Type I diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and poor insulin sensitivity.

Supplementing your diet with a high quality multivitamin is always a good idea. Res-Q Multi, our heart-healthy multivitamin, is intended to supplement the diet in order to help prevent nutritional deficiencies. Supplementing the diet with Res-Q Multi, a multivitamin formula that contains Vitamin D3, can help ensure adequate intake of Vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is the natural form of Vitamin D, and the best form recommended by leading authorities, health experts and doctors.

The best kind of Vitamin D is found in Res-Q Multi

If you think you are getting enough Vitamin D in milk, think again. First of all, the amount of Vitamin D found in the average glass of milk is only a small fraction of the total minimum amount that you need every day in order to stay healthy. Secondly, the form of Vitamin D commonly added to our milk supply in the form of Vitamin D2, also known as ergocalciferol, is an inferior form. Vitamin D2, a form commonly found in some vitamin supplements, milk, and cereal is the synthetic form of the vitamin and is not as effective at maintaining blood levels of Vitamin D. Therefore, you may be getting even less than you think. Additionally, some health experts now feel that this synthetic form of the vitamin, which was approved by the FDA years ago to fortify milk and cereal in order to help combat rickets, does not work the same way as the Vitamin D that is synthesized naturally by our bodies. The new research suggests that Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D2 really should not be used anymore. Researchers believe that this form of Vitamin D may actually block Vitamin D receptor activation and not provide the same health benefits that we associate with Vitamin D.

Vitamin D3, however, also known as cholecalciferol, is a more natural, desirable form of Vitamin D, the same form synthesized by our bodies from sunlight and the better of the two forms. Vitamin D3 is preferred over Vitamin D2, due to Vitamin D3’s ability to maintain blood levels of Vitamin D.

A multivitamin should contain Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D3 in order to provide the required health benefits. Res-Q Multi, a heart-healthy multivitamin, contains Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D3. Three caplets of Res-Q Multi provide 800 I.U. of Vitamin D3, which is 200% of the RDA.

Res-Q News: Res-Q CellPower now has more Co-Q10!

N3 Oceanic, makers of the Res-Q brand products, is pleased to announce that we have increased the amount of Co-Q10 in Res-Q CellPower to 100mg per capsule, giving our customers more for their money.

The health benefits of Co-Q10 are of utmost importance. Co-Q10 helps the heart muscle and every muscle in the body. Since Co-Q10 is a very effective antioxidant, Co-Q10 encourages arterial health. Anyone on a cholesterol-lowering regimen can benefit from taking Co-Q10. Since Co-Q10 and cholesterol share the same production pathway, it is important to replenish the body’s supply of Co-Q10, in turn benefiting cardiovascular health, which consists of both the heart and the arteries. Since CoQ-10 production requires extensive nutritional demands, and declines with age, the body's ability to produce sufficient amounts of it are often unpredictable. That's why supplementing with Co-Q10 is so important. Anyone can benefit from Co-Q10 supplementation.

When on any cholesterol lowering regimen, 100-200 mg of Co-Q10 per day, is beneficial. 2 capsules of Res-Q CellPower’s antioxidant blend now provides 200 mg of Co-Q10, instead of 100mg. There is not any need to supplement with additional Co-Q10.

Res-Q CellPower will provide more nutritonal value for less cost. When you compare the combined costs of all of the different ingredients, when sold seperately, you will see the value, health benefits, and savings that Res-Q CellPower has to offer. Not only does Res-Q CellPower provide the optimal dose of Co-Q10, but Res-Q CellPower also provides other heart-health antioxidant ingredients such as Vitamin C, Selenium, Lycopene, and more.

Res-Q Products and the Immune System

Vitamins are very important for immune system health.

Vitamins have a direct effect on the function of the immune system. If you do not eat a very healthy diet every day, a diet containing vitamins, then your immune system may be at risk. Res-Q Multi is not only a complete multivitamin supplement, Res-Q Multi is specifically formulated for cardiovascular health. Not only do you achieve the immune system support benefits from Res-Q Multi, but you also have the right levels of vitamins for cardiovascular health. Unlike Res-Q Multi, many of the multivitamin supplements sold in the grocery stores do not even come anywhere close to providing the right levels of vitamins for cardiovascular health as shown in clinical research studies.

If the digestive tract is not healthy, then your immune system may not be healthy.
You may not be getting the absorption that you need to receive the benefits of the vitamins. The following Res-Q Products aid in cleansing the digestive tract, reducing the amount of waste and toxins, and improving vitamin absorption: Res-Q Land n Sea Fiber, Res-Q ProBiotic, and Res-Q All Essential Enzymes. By using these Res-Q products, you can help maintain a healthy, clean digestive tract thus allowing for better absorption of your other Res-Q supplements. Did you know that immune system function is directly influenced by probiotics, the micro-life in the digestive tract?

Res-Q CellPower also supports a healthy immune system. Res-Q CellPower is an antioxidant supplement that provides Vitamin C in the fat-soluble form and is stabilized in a base of salmon oil for enhanced delivery. The salmon oil naturally contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin, which is well known as being a powerful antioxidant. The salmon oil is further enhanced with additional antioxidants such as Lutein, Lycopene, and Co-Q10 that you may not be getting from your other supplements. Antioxidants help support the immune system by helping to promote immune cell health. Free radicals may decrease the number of immune cells. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, stabilizing the free radicals so harm is not caused. Res-Q Resveratrol is an additional antioxidant that you can take with Res-Q CellPower for additional support of the immune system.

How does the omega 3 in Res-Q 1250 compare to flaxseed oil?

There is not any EPA/DHA in flaxseeds. Res-Q 1250 is a direct source of EPA and DHA, the beneficial omega-3 fats that are necessary for cholesterol health benefits.

The milligrams of omega-3 that you see on the flaxseed label are not in the form of EPA and DHA. Only a very small percentage of this plant based omega-3 flaxseed can be converted for use by the body into the active clinically recognized omega-3 metabolites called EPA and DHA.

In Summary
As far as a source of omega-3, fish sources are still the best way to get any useful amount of omega-3. Res-Q 1250 is derived from open sea fish that are rich in omega-3. The oil from these omega 3 fish is then purified and extracted to produce a potent, safe source of omega-3 and a beneficial heart healthy level of omega-3 that can not be obtained from diet alone.

Res-Q Sleep promotes all-natural sleep due to the proprietary blend of ingredients. By combining the right combination of all-natural herbs together with melatonin we can produce an excellent product to help you sleep better. Unlike other products, the combination of multiple ingredients produces a complete product with a synergistic effect which yields consistent results for people with various sleep issues.

Melatonin which is produced by the brain, may help you to fall asleep faster, improve sleep quality, and facilitate the sleep/wake cycle. Melatonin production is triggered by darkness and is what makes us feel sleepy. Those who work nights, may need a little extra help falling asleep during the day. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, “In clinical trials, melatonin has been shown to accelerate adaptation to night work…”

Res-Q Sleep also contains the herb Griffonia. The herb Griffonia supports the natural process of sleep by providing a beneficial essential metabolite that the body needs in order to allow the brain to promote sleep and reduce occasional anxiety. Directly providing the essential metabolite, bypasses the need for the body to make it. An oral dose is well-absorbed into the bloodstream to help maintain healthy sleep. If occasional stress and anxiety is causing you to stay awake, and you just can’t seem to wind down, this herb may help you relax and unwind so that you can begin to fall asleep.

Res-Q Sleep also contains the herb Valerian for additional support. As reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, “A recent randomized, double-blind study of 202 patients with nonorganic insomnia found that after 6 weeks of treatment, valerian was as effective as the benzodiazepine oxazepam.”

Res-Q Sleep contains four different herbs and is enhanced with melatonin to create a great all-natural sleep aid. We know that everyone responds differently to natural products. By combining multiple herbs, the effectiveness is greater and we can produce the best all-natural sleep supplement possible to help a broad range of customers sleep better naturally.

If you need some extra support with the natural process of sleep, why not try Res-Q Sleep. Res-Q Sleep is a natural supplement for help with occasional sleeplessness.

Since this is a supplement for sleep, you can expect to the product to go to work right away the first night that you take it.

ProBiotics are also referred to as “Friendly Bacteria”, or “Friendly Flora.” The balance of bacteria in the digestive tract is thought to affect the delicate balance of the immune system because different bacteria affect the immune system in different ways.

This natural balance of life in the gut can be disturbed by use of antibiotics which destroy the good bacteria, and increase yeast growth. Bad microorganisms, or bad bacteria that is not friendly can offset the balance of the friendly, happy life in the gut, and make us sick. This is why Probiotics help us to stay healthy and well.

Friendly bacteria support the immune system and promote good health and wellness by providing healthy bacteria to help in the fight against illness and also by deterring inflammation in the bowel. Probiotics are the friendly fighters, fighting for our good health.

The practice of using probiotics and the thought that probiotics are good for us has been around for years. It is only in more recent years that we are able to analyze them and perform clinical studies to learn more about how and why probiotics help our health. For example, due to the stress that athletes undergo, the immune system can become compromised increasing susceptibility to illness. In a placebo-controlled clinical study on the effect of Probiotics, the duration of the cold symptoms was reduced in the group that took a Probiotic supplement versus those that took the placebo pills. Supplementing the diet with Probiotics may help us to feel better and stay well longer. In fact, today, the demand for Probiotic supplements has increased reflected by the increased spending on Probiotic supplements.

Friendly bacteria also support regularity by helping reduce occasional bouts of diarrhea. Ever notice intestinal upsets are easily brought on after we ate something? Good bacteria helps keep our digestive tract healthy and functioning well. A recent 2009 news article pointed out that studies on lactose intolerance, and diarrhea indicate that you need one to ten billion bacteria daily in order to have results. Your yogurt may not be providing this amount. Yogurts may not even list the amounts. Most yogurts have approximately only one billion live cells in an 8oz serving. Res-Q ProBiotic formula is manufactured with 20 billion live cells to provide you with the full benefits of probiotics. Res-Q Probiotic is Res-Q's daily probiotic supplement. Res-Q Probiotic is a multiple-strain formula for more complete health benefits.

Res-Q 1250 and Bone Health

Res-Q 1250 helps keep
healthy bones
healthy.

Health
Res-Q 1250, a pure, potent omega-3 supplement, may help maintain a healthy bone weight and strength, which is common to everyone. The essential fatty acids EPA and DHA are beneficial for the bones. Res-Q 1250 provides the proper balance of the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA for good health.

Aging
Res-Q 1250 is beneficial to maintain good bone health during aging. A diet that includes the proper balance of fats in the diet, Vitamin D, and calcium may help keep bones healthy as we age. If you are taking calcium for bone health, then you should also take an omega-3 supplement. “Several studies evaluating n-3 PUFA ranging from 3 to 6 g/day showed a modest, but rather consistent beneficial effect of these fatty acids in joint disease.”2 Taking 6-8 Res-Q 1250 capsules per day provides 4-6 grams of these omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. It can easily take 12 capsules or more of store-bought fish oil supplements to equal this amount of omega-3.

Bones
Res-Q 1250 may help maintain a healthy bone structure. You may already understand that calcium is part of the bones, but did you know that the omega-3 fatty acid EPA enhanced intestinal absorption of calcium, and increased bone calcium content? Furthermore, inflammation and a diet rich in saturated fat have been implicated in osteoporosis. Supplementing the diet with the omega-3 fatty acids helps restore the proper balance of fats in the diet, and helps counter inflammation that is common to everyone. “One mechanism by which these fatty acids prevent osteoporosis may involve inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-2, and TNFa…”1

Next time you drink your milk, take your Res-Q 1250.

Why take that many Res-Q 1250 capsules per day?

One of the most commonly asked Res-Q questions is, “Why do you take so many Res-Q capsules per day?”

The answer is, “Because this is what works.”

Res-Q 1250 is highly concentrated. Even if you took one capsule a day of the most concentrated marine oil product on the market like Res-Q 1250, you would still get a better value for your dollar. It would take 12 capsules of the typical low-potency fish oil capsules to equal 6 capsules of Res-Q 1250.

Res-Q 1250 delivers health benefits that you can't get by taking one capsule of fish oil. I usually ask, “What health benefit are you interested in?” For example, taking 6 Res-Q 1250 capsules per day can reduce triglycerides. The triglycerides are an important part of the total cholesterol. If the triglycerides are high, then the total cholesterol number will also be high, and a lot of people are looking at their total cholesterol number as well as their triglyceride number.

Scientific research shows that you need 3 grams of these omega-3 fatty acids per day, which is equal to 3,000 milligrams. Taking just one or two fish oil capsules per day is not even going to come close to this amount.

As published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, “Fish oil can have a therapeutic role in the treatment of marked hypertriglyceridemia (>750 mg/dL). Effective doses of omega-3 fatty acids range from 3 to 5 g/d, which can only be obtained consistently by supplementation.” - AHA Scientific Statement, Circulation, a Journal of the American Heart Association.

As published in the research notebook of the January/February 2003 issue of the Food and Drug Administration’s Consumer Magazine, “People who have elevated triglycerides may need two grams to four grams of EPA and DHA per day provided as a supplement, according to the new guidelines.”

How does Res-Q 1250 Compare to Cod Liver Oil?

Res-Q 1250 is specifically formulated to provide the proper levels of EPA and DHA for cardiovascular health. Cod liver oils are fish oils from the cod fish. The cod liver oils that I have seen are often used for their Vitamin A content, and therefore limit their recommend daily dosage to only one teaspoon a day, which provides only a little omega-3. Vitamin A intake is often controlled because exceeding excess limits are harmful, and a little omega-3 is just not effective.

Res-Q 1250 provides cardiovascular health benefits that most fish oils can not provide. Most fish oils that I have seen do not provide enough omega-3 to be effective. Multiple reports show that 3,000 milligrams or more of omega-3 fats in the form of EPA and DHA are necessary for specific cardiovascular health benefits such as reducing triglycerides. The triglycerides comprise the total cholesterol. Therefore, the triglyceride number affects the total cholesterol number.

Res-Q 1250 is effective at reducing triglycerides, because it is a potent omega-3. Most fish oils do not provide 3,000 milligrams of EPA and DHA in a daily dosage. One cod liver oil capsule that I saw was so low in omega-3 content, that it was difficult to determine how many capsules would equal our product. The amounts of omega-3 found in the oil can vary greatly per capsule. The total milligrams of the fish oil is not helpful in determing omega-3 content and potency.

Since Res-Q 1250 is not derived from fish livers, it does not contain Vitamin A or Vitamin D. With Res-Q 1250, there isn’t any reason to be concerned about getting too much. An effective amount of omega-3 can be provided to achieve specific health benefits such as help with occasional pain reduction, and triglyceride reduction. Without a safe and potent omega-3 product like Res-Q 1250, specific health benefits of omega-3 supplementation simply would not be attainable from fish oil.

Summary:
Unlike many other fish oil products, Res-Q 1250 provides the proper levels of omega-3 for cardiovascular health.

What are Lipoproteins?

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.

Our Basic Starter Pack provides first-time buyers with the optimal cholesterol-health benefits in just 60 days or your money back.

Res-Q Resveratrol: Is it the new Anti-Aging Supplement?

Why is resveratrol getting so much attention?

Resveratrol, an antioxidant phytochemical found in red wine and the skins of red grapes, is getting a lot of attention lately as the new good health supplement. Red wine gets so much attention for cardiovascular health, ever since the one glass per day rule came out. Since then, researchers have been studying resveratrol, naturally occuring in red wine, and red grape skins, to learn more about it. However, the red wine grape skin extract supplement, Res-Q Resveratrol, provides the health benefits of resveratrol without the side effects of the alcohol.

Resveratrol has anti-aging potential. Resveratrol produces the same health benefits as being on a low-calorie diet. Resveratrol may promote living longer, staying internally younger longer, and being healthier longer. Resveratrol provides longevity, energy, and good health benefits by providing the same health benefits associated with cutting calories, yet without the cutting of the calories. Resveratrol does all of this by activating the SIRT1 gene. Activating the SIRT1 gene has been shown to produce the same effects of calorie restriction.1

Now, what does this mean?

Resveratrol has the same health benefits as a calorie-restricted diet. Being overweight may jeopardize good health, and is linked to a higher risk of many health problems. Reducing calorie intake (eating less calories) and increasing calorie output (moving around more) produces weight loss. However, calorie restriction is also associated with better health and living longer. Mice on a high fat diet that took resveratrol as a supplement were healthier and enjoyed running on their treadmills more. In other words, the health benefits that are produced by cutting calories are the same health benefits produced by resveratrol yet without cutting the calories. This news makes resveratrol the new good-health supplement of this century.

Res-Q Mg: Magnesium and Cardiovascular Health

Magnesium is one of the most heart-healthy nutrients to help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system in tip-top shape.

The circulatory system relies on the heart and magnesium helps the heart to function. Magnesium helps maintain good cardiovascular health by benefiting circulation, blood function, and heart function. Magnesium is a mineral that helps maintain a healthy function of the body, promotes blood flow to the heart, and supports a normalized heart rhythm. Magnesium also helps provide the heart with the energy to pump blood. Magnesium is a good supplement to take for heart health.

The circulatory system is so important. By circulating blood, nutrients flow to every cell and every organ in the body. If the cardiovascular system is not healthy, then the entire body is not healthy.

Res-Q Mg, a magnesium supplement, belongs to the heart-healthy line of Res-Q products. For cardiovascular health, we suggest taking 3 Res-Q Mg caplets daily. Take at least one Res-Q Mg caplet for general health benefits.

Using Res-Q products in combination targets multiple aspects of cardiovascular health for a more complete health. Since Res-Q Mg helps heart function, Res-Q Mg may be used in addition to Res-Q Orosine, our dietary supplement that promotes heart cell renewal. Using Res-Q Mg in addition to Res-Q Orosine will provide a more complete care for the heart muscle and better results.

Become a platinum member and receive a free bottle of Res-Q Mg, or choose from a selection of other Res-Q products. Platinum members receive 50% off retail price. On 4-07-09, platinum members received the best price on Res-Q Mg, only $8.00 per bottle. Platinum members receive free shipping on orders of $150.00 or more. To become a platinum member, call 1-800-26-ALIVE to sign up and for details.

What are Vitamins?

Res-Q Multi is a heart-healthy multivitamin supplement that contains a complete range of vitamins and minerals. 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. Res-Q Multi is intended to supplement the diet.

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.

Vitamin D is good for immune response, insulin secretion, stress response, cell function, and muscle function. The Vitamin D in Res-Q’s multivitamin supplement, Res-Q Multi, is in the form of the well-known Vitamin D3, called cholecalciferol.

Vitamin E supports the immune system by promoting a healthy immune response.

B Vitamins are good for metabolism. Vitamin B1, Thiamin, helps the nervous system and the metabolism of glucose into energy. Vitamin B2 helps red blood cell formation, body tissue maintenance, skin and eye health, fat metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and energy production. Vitamin B3 is good for the skin, the nervous system, digestive tract function, and helps the body to use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy. Vitamin B6 supports the immune system function, protein metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and blood sugar function. Vitamin B12 works with Folic acid to produce red blood cells. Vitamin B12 also helps maintain nerve sheaths.

Can I take Res-Q Mg if I have high blood pressure?

Yes, Res-Q Mg has been used by many patients and Res-Q customers with high blood pressure. Res-Q Mg is Res-Q’s heart-healthy magnesium supplement intended to supplement the diet to provide better levels of magnesium for ideal cardiovascular health* It is safe for patients with high blood pressure. Upon speaking with Dr. Vagnini, cardiovascular surgeon, best selling author, and medical director of two large centers in New York, here is what Dr. Vagnini had to say about magnesium:

“It is one of my key nutrients used in the management of blood pressure. Higher doses of magnesium have been used and react as a natural calcium channel blocker to dilate the arteries and therefore naturally lower the blood pressure.”

Magnesium is reported to regulate calcium flow within cells, and work with calcium in the production of energy. Magnesium promotes a steady heart rhythm, heart function, heart energy, and is an important mineral that the heart needs.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It is recommended that you work with a doctor on a treatment plan for high blood pressure, and review all supplements with your physician who is most familiar with your medical history, prior to use. Those with kidney failure should not take supplements such as magnesium without discussing with physician first.

Vitamin C and Heart Health

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. Although maintaining a healthy cholesterol level is important, vitamins are equally important to heart health. 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.

Vitamin C can help to maintain arteries that are already normal. For example, arteries consist of collagen, and Vitamin 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. Vitamin C is found in Res-Q CellPower, and Res-Q Multi. Res-Q CellPower is an antioxidant supplement that encourages healthy arteries. Res-Q Multi is a heart-healthy multivitamin supplement. Supplementing a healthy diet helps ensure that nutrient intake is met on a day to day basis.

Res-Q Sleep Liquid: Relaxation for good, quality sleep.

Res-Q Sleep Liquid’s ability to help maintain a normal sleeping pattern is attributed to the combination of the proprietary blend of ingredients found in the Res-Q formula.


There are many different species of the herb Scutellaria, also referred to as Skullcap. Scutellaria lateriflora, American skullcap, a member of the mint family, is a safe and effective herb commonly used by Native Americans for calming purposes, and continues to be very popular today, found in many European and American supplements. The herb has been shown to be effective in studies. When used in combination with Valerian, the results are greater, promoting tranquility and drowsiness.

Valerian is an herb that grows in Europe. The roots of the herb Valerian are used for the ability to calm and relax supporting restful sleep. In a placebo-controlled study, Valeriana officinalis improved the amount of time that it takes to fall asleep, and the quality of sleep. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, 89% of the people that took Valerian slept better demonstrating the potential of a natural herb to promote better sleep. No side effects were observed in the study.

Matricaria recutita, or German Chamomile, native to Europe and western Asia, is quite popular. Chamomile belongs to the daisy family. The flowers of the popular herb Chamomile have been used for centuries in natural health for a variety of reasons. Chamomile is included in Res-Q Sleep Liquid for its sedative, and relaxing health benefits. Research on Chamomile demonstrated Chamomile’s ability to encourage sleep indicated by the amount of time that it takes to fall asleep.

The seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia encourages sleep by assisting with the body’s natural synthesis of a beneficial amino acid that helps maintain a beneficial brain chemical level necessary to help regulate the sleep/wake cycle.

Melatonin occurs naturally in the human body and plays a critical role with regard to when to fall asleep and wake-up. Melatonin also occurs in animals, and is found in tiny amounts in food. It is important that the melatonin used to supplement the diet is the synthesized form of melatonin which is the pure form used for the safe manufacturing of supplements. Res-Q Sleep Liquid uses melatonin in this safe, beneficial form. Melatonin levels can be out of balance from age, time zone changes, the winter months, daylight exposure, working nights, and for other reasons. Melatonin supplements have been shown in studies to sufficiently raise melatonin levels and promote better quality sleep.

Res-Q Sleep Liquid uses the preferred water-extract of these safe, and effective herbs in order to provide the best quality product. The precise dosage of the liquid is administered as a spray. Simply spray into the mouth. Res-Q Sleep Caplets are also available, for those that prefer caplets instead of a liquid spray. For questions or to order Res-Q Sleep, call 1-800-26-ALIVE.

Why Sleep Matters

In support of National Sleep Awareness Week (March 1-8), we at Res-Q would like to educate you on the importance of a good night’s sleep.

So many of us take a good night’s sleep for granted; In fact, many people glamorize how little sleep they get each night, as if running on only three hours makes them stronger or tougher.

Unfortunately the opposite is true. Chronic lack of sleep, by most experts, is now considered dangerous. In fact, “untreated sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes and other chronic diseases,” according to the National Institutes of Health. (1)

In a recent report by The Division of Sleep Medicine of Harvard Medical School, “going without adequate sleep carries with it both short- and long-term consequences:” (2)

“In the short term, a lack of adequate sleep can affect judgment, mood, ability to learn and retain information, and may increase the risk of serious accidents and injury. In the long term, chronic sleep deprivation may lead to a host of health problems including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even early mortality.”(3)

The National Sleep Foundation recently polled a group of people on how they felt each morning. The reason being that this data almost always corresponds with the amount of sleep people get. When they asked readers how they typically feel when they wake up, the results were alarming.

“Over half of respondents replied that they wake up feeling "slightly groggy," while around 38 percent replied "exhausted." Only almost 9 percent said they feel "well-rested."”(4)

A good night’s sleep is crucial. And we at Res-Q strongly suggest taking measures to address any sleep issues you may have.

There are few options to address the problem. One such option is prescription drugs. This, however, tends to lead to dependency and a host of other negative health issues and harmful side effects.

Another healthier, safer option is Res-Q Sleep. It’s one of the only all-natural sleep remedies on the market today that works to address several specific sleep issues. It helps those who have trouble falling asleep and those who have trouble staying asleep during the night. It also works as a calming agent, designed to ease restless sleepers into a gentle sleep. And because it’s all-natural, there is no threat of waking up in the morning groggy or disoriented.

For more information on how to purchase Res-Q® Sleep, please call a product consultant at 1-800-26-ALIVE (1-800-262-5483), or visit http://www.myresqproducts.com/.

Plant Sterols and Heart Disease

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. Res-Q 1250 provides the proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids for good cardiovascular health. Since the total cholesterol number consists of both the triglycerides, and the LDL cholesterol, it is a good idea to take Res-Q LDL-x2 and Res-Q 1250. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin is the first choice for complete cardiovascular health. However, Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without Niacin for those who request Res-Q LDL-x2 without niacin. We recommend that our first-time buyers purchase our Basic Starter Pack which includes many extra Res-Q products for free as a bonus!

Res-Q 1250: A pure omega-3 supplement

Res-Q 1250 is a pure omega-3 supplement. In order to produce a pure omega-3 supplement, Res-Q 1250’s oil undergoes an extensive purification process to ensure that the harmful mercury and other environmental pollutants that are known to exist in fish in harmful levels are removed. Furthermore, to ensure a pure omega-3 supplement, the product is tested to ensure that it meets manufacturing specifications.

Fish may contain mercury and other harmful pollutants which is a concern when eating fish. Res-Q 1250 undergoes an exceptional multi-step purification process to ensure removal of the harmful levels of these pollutants. The proprietary technology of our purification process ensures that the strictest testing specifications for heavy metals, environmental contaminants and oxidative impurities are met. You have to be careful. Warnings have been issued by health agencies that not all fish oils conform with the industry guidelines, and some oils may contain the same levels of mercury as fresh fish.

Res-Q 1250 meets and exceeds fish oil industry standards for purity. A pure omega-3 supplement needs to meet manufacturing specifications for environmental pollutants to ensure purity. Res-Q 1250 meets exceptional manufacturing standards for purity, meeting current legislation standards of both European and American industry standards as well as Global standards.

Furthermore, Res-Q 1250, a pure omega-3 supplement, meets exceptionally high quality standards for purification of fish oils as adopted by the council for responsible nutrition which are: PCB’s are less than .09 mg/kg, lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic are less than .1mg/kg (ppm). This is a good test reading for an omega-3 supplement. Res-Q 1250, a pure omega-3 supplement, exceeds the mercury testing standards of max .1 ppm, meaning less than one tenth of one part per million. One part per million is a unit of proportion equal to 10-6 or .000001. The mercury test means that it is very safe, pure omega-3 supplement that is free of the harmful levels of mercury found in fish, and that you hear about on the news. Res-Q’s mercury test is truly the best!

More DHA for healthy babies

Omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA, play a role in producing healthy babies. Mom’s diet is so important to unborn babies, since healthy babies rely on Mom’s nutritional diet. Healthy babies also rely on DHA from breast milk. If Mom is deficient in DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, then the baby will be deficient in DHA! Omega-3 fatty acids like DHA, are good beneficial fats that promote brain development. In fact, the majority of the brain is fat of which DHA represents a portion of the brain. A new randomized controlled clinical trial shows that more DHA is better for healthy babies. As reported in medical news, “Investigators observed an 80% reduction in the proportion of baby girls with significant mental delays when they had a diet rich in docosahexaenoic acid.”1 Another type of omega-3 fatty called ALA, seen in various foods, and formulas, is not a direct source of DHA, the fatty acid used in this study. Babies that were delivered early were divided into two groups. Of the group of premature babies that received the high-DHA diet, the baby girls performed better on mental tests at 18 months, than those on the standardized diet. The better mental performance is linked to the breast milk from Moms that were supplementing with approximately 1,000 milligrams of DHA! However, to ensure that the babies in the high-DHA group received the same amount of DHA, a DHA-fortified formula was provided when needed.

Make sure that you and your baby are getting enough DHA! Res-Q 1250 is a high potency, omega-3 DHA and EPA formulation which is available in two forms: soft gelatin capsule or liquid. We recommend that pregnant women work with their physician regarding supplement intake and for how to administer to children under the age of one year. Although the women in the study had to take six omega-3 capsules, it takes only four Res-Q 1250 capsules or two teaspoons of Res-Q 1250 Liquid to get the same amount. The Res-Q 1250 oil is derived from open sea fish from the sardine and herring family, fish that are the best source of DHA. For quality control, the Res-Q 1250 oil is further refined through a multi-step purification process including molecular distillation and testing to produce only the best quality omega-3 supplement. Oils produced in this manner are stripped of the mercury in fish, and that is the only kind of omega-3 that is safe. Res-Q 1250, a pure and potent omega-3 supplement, can be purchased online at http://www.myresqproducts.com/ or by telephone: 1-800-26-ALIVE.

Am I getting enough magnesium?

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. Essential for good health, magnesium is needed for more than three hundred biochemical reactions in the body. Magnesium helps maintain muscle and nerve function. Magnesium is obtained through foods and/or supplementation.

Magnesium is sometimes found in certain foods at small levels that are far below the RDA. The RDA is a reference number developed by the Food and Drug Administration to help consumers determine if a food contains a lot or a little of a specific nutrient. If a food contains the minimum amount of what we need every day, then it meets the RDA number, and is listed on the bottle label as 100%. However, this is the minimum amount that you need to stay healthy and prevent deficiency. Extra magnesium may be beneficial for diabetics and those with heart-health issues, which is why many of our customers take three Res-Q Mg caplets per day. Therefore, supplementing with magnesium is a good idea. According to the National Institute of Health, “Data from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey suggest that substantial number of adults in the United States fail to consume recommended amounts of magnesium.”

Add Res-Q Mg, our magnesium supplement to your supplement regimen. Res-Q Mg belongs to the heart-healthy line of Res-Q products.

Recent news about elevated blood sugar:

Recent news reports on an observation that those with elevated levels of sugar in the blood, have poor mental performance.

Could this be the “sugar fog” that I have always heard of?

According to a recent article in The Washington Post, “Researchers found that patients with higher levels of hemoglobin A1C (a measure of average blood glucose levels over 2 to 3 months) had significantly worse results while doing cognitive tasks that tested memory, speed and the ability to manage multiple tasks at the same time. Higher A1C levels were also associated with lower scores on a test of global cognitive function.”

The connection between mental performance and high blood sugar is yet another good reason to get blood sugar levels tested. Elevated AIC levels, common in diabetics, is the result of having too much sugar in the bloodstream due to poor blood sugar management. People with diabetes have problems metabolizing carbohydrates. The AIC test is a very good test to take to determine how well your body can metabolize sugar. The danger of high blood sugar is a good reason for people with elevated blood sugar levels to start to do something about it. Diabetics should talk to their physician about regular blood sugar testing, and a diabetic diet! Res-Q 105 MAX, a dietary supplement containing natural ingredients may be used as part of the diet to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Res-Q 105 MAX is a dietary supplement that contains a combination of all-natural active ingredients that promote blood sugar metabolism, a normal function of the body common to everyone. Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level can be a challenge, even when on a healthy diet plan. Res-Q 105 MAX can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet. Res-Q 105 MAX contains pumpkin pentose, a fairly exclusive ingredient that is getting recognized for its ability to support a healthy AIC level when used as part of the diet. Discuss use of Res-Q 105 MAX and the AIC test with your physician.
