What is Res-Q 1250?


Res-Q 1250, an omega-3 supplement, is a direct supply of the EPA and DHA that you need for good health and wellness. Our diets tend to be very deficient in the vital essential fatty acids: EPA and DHA. Therefore, the brain is starved for EPA and DHA, the building blocks of brain material.

Omega 3 fatty acids are one of the most effective clinically studied ingredients. These active components of omega-3 promote the reduction of triglycerides, increase circulation, encourage the reduction of inflammation, and aid in the repair of new cells and tissues. Our customers report great success maintaining their triglycerides.

We also have a variety of other heart healthy products. To acquire additional information regarding all of our products please contact a consultant at 1-800-262-5483. If you have a comment, testimonial, or question, please feel free to submit it by clicking on the comment link below this posting.

One more reason to take resveratrol...




We know that resveratrol has been shown in studies to dramatically increase the lifespan, maintain health, promote good cardiovascular function, and slow aging. Now, there is one more reason to take resveratrol.


Research shows that resveratrol is safe for diabetics. Recent research on resveratrol reveals that it may help the normal function of blood sugar metabolism, helping blood sugar to get into the cells.


It is important to understand that if you are seeking help with maintaining a healthy blood sugar level, Res-Q 105 is the primary product to use.
However, considering the recent news about resveratrol, Res-Q Resveratrol could be used in conjunction with Res-Q 105 as a supportive product.


Although resveratrol is best known for cardiovascular health and anti-aging effects, there are multiple side benefits to taking resveratrol. This new news is just one of them.


Although, Res-Q 105 is our main product to support blood sugar metabolism, we have many secondary products which can be used as part of the diet along with Res-Q 105 to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Why not do everything you can to help your body to naturally maintain a healthy blood sugar level? You have nothing to lose but your health. Unless you are including supplementing your good diet plan to include all of the right combination of nutrition supplements to help support blood sugar metabolism, then you are not doing everything in your power to help naturally maintain a healthy blood sugar level as part of your diet plan. Take control over your health today.

Res-Q 105 , encourages blood sugar metabolism.

Res-Q Resveratrol, good to take along with Res-Q 105.

Complete Heart Health: Part I

Healthy Arteries: it is more than just cholesterol, the role of inflammation in arterial health

The Res-Q product line offers a more complete approach to total cardiovascular health. We know that cardiovascular health is about more than just cholesterol. There are other areas that should not be ignored. These other areas of cardiovascular health are gaining more attention and should be inclusive of our cholesterol lowering regimen.

By examining multiple factors for good heart health, we can offer our customers more ways to help maintain healthy arteries and a strong heart, for a more complete, total look at cardiovascular health: the big picture. Cholesterol is only one piece of the puzzle.

You may be aware of the importance of having healthy cholesterol levels. You may even be aware of the role that cholesterol plays with regard to maintaining healthy arteries, but are you aware of the role of inflammation with regard to heart health?


Although there are many topics and many ways to help maintain healthy arteries, let’s look at the topic of inflammation. In 2005, medical news reported that C-Reactive protein may be comparable to LDL cholesterol as an indicator of recurrent coronary events. One report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested maintaining “CRP levels less than 2mg/L” in addition to maintaining healthy LDL cholesterol numbers. The reduced rate of arterial build up was attributed to reductions of both inflammation (crp) and cholesterol (LDL).

According to the American Heart Association, “C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation. It’s been suggested that testing CRP levels in the blood may be an additional way to assess cardiovascular disease risk.”

Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help balance out the inflammatory response produced by the body. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, concluded that taking enough omega-3 from fish oil, decreased production of an inflammatory protein and compound involved in the inflammatory immune response. This means that supplementing with omega-3 can help correct and balance the body’s inflammatory response helping to balance out excess inflammation.

You may already realize the role that inflammation plays in our health, such as those everyday aches and pains, but do you know that inflammation is also a villain to healthy arteries?


It seems that more is involved in maintaining healthy arteries, than just maintaining a cholesterol level that is already within normal range. As mentioned in Time Magazine, Chronic inflammation can “destabilize cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries.” The article also pointed out that people with normal cholesterol levels were having heart attacks.

The research shows us that anyone maintaining cholesterol levels already within a normal range, can improve their cardiovascular health by adding Res-Q 1250, our pure and potent source of the omega-3 fatty acids to their cholesterol regimen, and possibly add years to their life.

To help maintain healthy arteries, research suggests that maintaining a healthy inflammation level, is just as important as maintaining a healthy cholesterol level, especially in high risk populations and for those taking statin medications.
