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 to yourself
is 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!

High blood pressure
signifies an abnormal tendency for the body’s arteries to
constrict. This is true of arteries in the arms and legs, the
brain, the heart, and other areas. The ability to correct this
abnormal effect may be essential to controlling blood pressure.
This
insight dates back to 1980, when Dr. Robert Furchgott of the
State University of New York conducted experiments on |
|
rabbit
arteries, trying to decipher how arteries control their state of
constriction or tone. Entirely by accident, he
noticed that
arteries constricted
when their
inner linings were removed. Dr. Furchgott theorized that the inner lining, or endothelium, is
necessary to permit the normal dilating behavior of arteries,
and that a damaged endothelium prevents this phenomenon. |
|
Because of nitric oxide’s extremely short life of no
more than 10 seconds, a constant supply is required to
keep arteries dilated and relaxed. Any drop in nitric
oxide production causes arteries to constrict.
Cholesterol abnormalities, high blood pressure,
inflammation, high blood sugar or diabetes, a high-fat
diet, and sugary, refined foods all impair the
endothelial cells’ ability to produce nitric |
|
oxide.
Metabolic syndrome has the same effect, leading to
repeated damage to the artery linings that triggers
atherosclerotic plaque formation, or “endothelial
dysfunction.” When arteries are lined with even a
microscopically thin layer of plaque, they are less able
to produce nitric oxide, yielding even more injury.

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.
