Protection from the sun in
a Pill?
A natural oral supplement
called FernBlock® is derived from
the fern plant Polypodium leucotomos, which has
been used as a sunburn remedy by native people
for centuries. For the first time, researchers
have created a unique oral formulation of
sun-protective compounds from this natural
extract. You can find out more about this
new "pill" at:

Protection
The
causes of cellulite include the stress hormone cortisol, gender differences in fat storage, and
metabolism in the top layer of fat and the structure
of connective tissue in these areas, as well as
fluid leakage from small capillary
in these areas.
To be effective, a topical cream for cellulite
would have to address all of these causes and
its use would have to be continued to maintain
benefit.
Life Extension Foundation claims that they have identified
seven
compounds that may be especially promising as a
multimodal approach to correct the underlying
causes of cellulite. All seven of these
compounds are in a new Cream called "Cellulite Suppress
Formula". More information can be

Pill Energy
| Pill energy mostly refers to
the quick energy one gets from taking
stimulating pills. Nowadays, however,
there are nutritional supplements (pills) that
helps ones body to produce healthy sustained energy. This healthy sustained energy
would more appropriately be called "Human body energy". |
|
|
|
|
The
most valuable thing you can give your cells is
energy,"
according to Robert Crayhon, a nutritionist who devoted
years of study and clinical practice to the use of
carnitine and its better absorbed and more active form,
acetyl-l-carnitine. "It is the single most remarkable
nutrient I have used in my nutrition practice
over
the past twelve years," |
|
Crayhon
states.
Gradual decline in the ability to produce
energy in the
mitochondria is one of the hallmarks of aging. It is a
vicious circle: low energy production leads to overall
dysfunction and thus plays a significant part in many
aging-related
disorders; aging itself leads to lower and lower |
|
energy
production. It is hard to say which comes first. Do we
have less
energy
because we have aged, or have we aged because we produce
less energy? The only answer seems to be "both." We also
know that higher energy output
correlates highly with
health and younger physiological age.
Symptoms of carnitine |
|
deficiency
include low ability to exercise, with rapid onset of
fatigue, weakness
and muscle pain. How sad that in the elderly this is
disregarded, since "general weakness" and low
energy are
considered to be part of "normal aging."

Alleviate Congestive Heart Failure with CoQ10 |
|
Congestive heart failure is a
condition in which there is weakening of heart muscle
function so that the heart can
|
|
not pump normally which causes
fluid to back up and cause swelling or edema in the
liver, lungs, the lining of the
intestine and the lower legs and feet.
Dr. Langsjoen has observed poor
absorption of conventional CoQ10 in patients with
advanced congestive heart failure. The patients who
are the most ill and have the lowest plasma CoQ10
levels show minimal improvement because of their
inability to absorb CoQ10. It is Dr. Langsjoen's
assumption that the fluid retention or edema in the
intestine and liver in these |
|
critically ill patients
has been responsible for this poor absorption. Up
until about one year ago, all supplemental
CoQ10 in the world has been in its oxidized or
ubiquinone form. In this oxidized
state, CoQ10 is stable, bright orange in color, and only
fat-soluble. It is this property of being only
fat-soluble that is responsible for the difficulty with
CoQ10 absorption in patients with edema in the
intestines.
Keneka Corporation of Japan has succeeded in making a better
form of CoQ10, a stable |
|
ubiquinol formulation which is better absorbed by
the intestine.
Supplementing with the new ubiquinol form of CoQ10 produced a
gradual improvement in heart muscle function in
congestive heart failure patients.
Supplemental ubiquinol represents a major scientific
advance in the 50-year history of CoQ10 research.
ubiquinol has dramatically improved absorption in
patients with severe heart failure.
>> What You Need
To Know |
You probably haven’t heard about
D-ribose. But you will. It’s that good. Every
cell in the human body makes some of this simple
sugar molecule, but only slowly and to varying
degrees, depending on the tissue. The liver,
adrenal
glands, and fat tissue produce the
most—enough to serve their purpose of making compounds
involved in the production of hormones and fatty acids.
But, tissue elsewhere has little.
According to Stephen T. Sinatra, MD, and James C.
Roberts, MD, Individuals with coronary artery
disease and persistent symptoms remain in a chronic
state of energy depletion, constant fatigue, weak,
with their heart function progressively worsening.
|
|
These individuals will almost certainly advance
into congestive heart failure without
improvement of the energy state of their heart.
Restoration of their energy pool can only be
accomplished through the pathway of
energy
metabolism regulated by the availability of
D-ribose.
The effect of D-ribose supplementation on maintaining
energy levels
can not be overstated. Any tissue that relies
heavily on aerobic energy metabolism, such as
the heart and muscles, will be severely affected
by any amount of oxygen deprivation. The problem
is ATP drain. The solution is to give it back!

After a
heart attack, there is a limited window of time
to restore cellular energy production. Failure to
rejuvenate blood-deprived cardiac cells results in
catastrophic heart
muscle damage.
New studies
reveal how a low-cost nutrient can protect against cell
damage that occurs during a
heart attack and
help rejuvenate heart
muscles that have suffered injuries from previous
ischemic (no blood flow) events.
|
|
Supporting “Cardiac Rejuvenation”
Cardiologists are slowly recognizing
specific nutrients play a vital role in preventing and
treating heart
disease—particularly ischemic
heart disease
(caused by coronary artery occlusion) that underlies
most heart attacks.
When deprived of blood flow, the injured
heart muscle
becomes flabby and unable to pump blood efficiently.
|
|
The sharp drop in ATP (adenosine
triphosphate) levels experienced by
heart muscle cells
during the obstruction of blood flow, and the long delay
in restoring those levels to normal even after blood
flow returns is critically important after a
heart attack. This
so-called ischemia-reperfusion injury is now known to be
the major culprit that produces long-term
heart damage in
survivors of heart
attacks, rendering tissue inordinately vulnerable to
free-
|
|
radical damage produced by the
oxygen-rich (yet life-saving) re-flow of blood into the
injured area. In fact, one researcher this year
referred to the heart
mitochondria (the site of all that ATP production) as
“the gates of life and death!” Clearly, helping
heart muscle cells
to recover rapidly from a cardiac event is a major
priority in preventing long-term damage.

Vitamin D’s Crucial Role in
Cardiovascular Protection
|
Emerging research suggests that
propionyl-L-carnitine and PEAK ATP™ may protect cardiovascular
health by preventing endothelial dysfunction, restoring healthy
endothelial function, and optimizing the energy available to
cardiac and vascular cells.
PEAK ATP™ also works
|
|
synergistically with propionyl-L-carnitine to protect
cardiovascular function while promoting enhanced
cellular energy for people with conditions ranging from
chronic fatigue syndrome to erectile dysfunction.

Preventing endothelial dysfunction |

Health-conscious adults
regularly monitor their cardiovascular risk factors—such
as cholesterol, glucose, and homocysteine—in order to
reduce their risk of debilitating cardiovascular
disease. Now, intriguing new research
suggests that vitamin D may play an essential yet
overlooked
|
|
role in staving off heart disease.
Vitamin D deficiency may eventually be added to the list
of causative factors that contribute to cardiovascular
disorders.
