The American
Chemical Society released a study revealing bountiful health benefits
associated with resveratrol, a compound found naturally in red wine. In order
to get the same amount of resveratrol in red wine as you would in Isotonix® Resveratrol, the average person would need to
consume three bottles of wine a day. The ingredient Isotonix Resveratrol uses in
its supplements is Resveravine®, which is a more concentrated form of
resveratrol, and it ensures that the body reaps the benefits of resveratrol
without the ill effects from three bottles of wine.
Studies of numerous species have shown that a reduction in calories has been
linked to a longer lifespan. The SIRT-1 gene activates a critical component of
calorie restriction in mammals and promotes fat metabolization. Dr. David
Sinclair of Harvard Medical School published a study in the May edition of Cell
Metabolism found that resveratrol may also help with healthy cell function
throughout the aging process. Dr. Sinclair found resveratrol works by acting on
the SIRT1 gene, a gene that is believed to control the function and longevity of
cells. There is evidence that resveratrol may be a calorie restriction mimetic,
a compound that mimics the effects of calorie restriction by targeting metabolic
and stress response pathways affected by calorie restriction, but without
restricting caloric intake, which may be helpful in promoting a longer lifespan.
By promoting healthy SIRT-1 activity, resveratrol promotes healthy mitochondrial
function and supports energy expenditure.

Bilberry and Eye Health
Author: kerriwhatley
Bilberry is found in our new product Prime Vision Eye Health Formula. This product helps promote healthy vision, macular density, as well as supporting healthy eye tissue and blood flow while helping to maintain eye health during the aging process.
It is believed that anthocyanins are part of the reason why bilberry is considered effective in providing essential nutrient to protect eyes from eyestrain and fatigue, and also helps in improving circulation to the eyes. Anthocyanin is used to help build strong healthy capillaries that transfer nutrients to the eye muscles and nerves. Along with anthocyanin, bilberry also contains vitamins A and C. Vitamin A helps to promote sharp vision where vitamin C is there to construct collagen that is needed for regeneration of tissue cells and healthy blood vessels.
Presence of vitamins A and C in anthocyanin helps prevent free radical damage to eyes due to aging, pollution, toxins, by fighting free radical damage with its antioxidant properties. This plays a huge role in the bilberry eye health and its positive effects. Bilberry is known to improve the micro-circulation and regeneration of the retinal purple, with this it also improves your vision.
The active components of bilberry, flavonoid anthocyanosides, are powerful antioxidants with a particular affinity for the eye and vascular tissues. Bilberry supplementation supports healthy vision. Bilberry’s effectiveness for promoting night vision is contradictory, though some research has suggested that bilberry supplementation promotes healthy night vision. Bilberry acts as an antioxidant. It appears to promote healthy circulation, particularly to the small capillaries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the eyes. Anthocyanosides, which is also a pigment, helps to regenerate a pigment in the retina which is essential for the eye to adapt to light.

One Spice Fits all Imbalances
Dr. John Douillard, DC

India has among the lowest rates of prostate, breast, colon and lung cancer in the world.
Some researchers attribute these numbers to the regular consumption of a common household spice, which has also been shown to offer support for cognitive function and inflammation. The best part? Chances are, this spice may already be in your cabinet.
A cancer diagnosis can feel like a death sentence, with 1.4 million new cases of cancer per year resulting in more than 500,000 deaths per year in the U.S. While this is still a life-threatening diagnosis, new research may give hope.*
This research has scientists amazed at how a simple spice can promote healthy cell replication, and even support the health of patients undergoing chemotherapy.
This is only one small role this spice plays in promoting optimal health.* For thousands of years inAyurveda, this common spice was used for physical pain, liver ailments, healthy skin, mental clarity, intestinal health, bile flow and fat metabolism.
Keep reading for a taste of other incredible benefits offered by turmeric, plus one super-simple tip for boosting its absorption.
Turmeric Supports Healthy Cell Replication
Recently, in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a very large study revealed that many cancers are not detected during a routine colonoscopy. What was once an insurance plan to screen for colon cancer, offering a 90 percent reduction in the risk of death, now can only afford a 60-70 percent mortality risk reduction (1). This means that, while we should still use colonoscopies as a screening tool, we have to take action to offset the risk of colon cancer in other ways as well.
In one study, curcumin, the extract of turmeric, out-performed Western drugs in supporting healthy cellular replication and repair, along with supporting natural and timely cell death, called apoptosis (2,3).
One research team wrote, “Curcumin appears to possess all of the desirable features of a desk-designed, multi-purpose drug.”
Cognitive Support
Perhaps one of our biggest concerns as we age is to somehow protect ourselves from the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric has at least 10 neuro-protective actions that support healthy cognitive function (5).
Because the brain is predominately fatty tissue, fat-soluble toxins may accumulate in the brain and cause damage. As a fat-soluble substance, turmeric may have an affinity for chelating (removing) fat-soluble toxins out of the deep tissues.
Turmeric crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it may attach to neurotoxins, such as beta amyloid plaque, and support healthy antioxidant activity (6).
A Healthy Inflammatory Response
Inflammation may start in the gut because of an irritated and compromised intestinal wall. The most common cause of this is most likely stress. Stress receptors line the gut and, when we are under a lot of stress, the intestinal mucous membranes produce excessive reactive mucus. This reactive mucus may compromise absorption and detoxification pathways in the gut, leading to congestion in the body’s lymphatic system, which also lines the gut.
Turmeric supports the mucosa of the gut, thins the mucus, and supports the flow of bile. In addition to breaking down nutritional fats that we need, bile is also our body’s primary immune response in the gut to emulsify toxic chemicals and other fat-soluble toxins that you may have ingested. These include heavy metals, parasites, pesticides, candida, fungi and more.
Increase Absorption of Turmeric by 2000 Percent
One of the problems with turmeric is that it is fat soluble, which makes it more difficult to absorb. That is why many of the studies have been done on curcumin, which is the extract of turmeric, and easier to absorb. So for the past ten years, much research has gone into finding ways to boost the absorption of turmeric, with some good success.
While modern herbal extracts have potent therapeutic value, it is difficult to match the blueprint of the original plant. In addition, the body may build a tolerance to an extract. Whole herbs, while not as potent as extracts, have a sustainable effect. In Ayurveda, whole herbs are combined with other whole herbs and spices to boost function, which can be as potent as today’s modern extracts.
For example, in 1998, researchers at St. John’s Medical College in Bangalore, India found that turmeric taken with black pepper—both common ingredients in curry—increased the absorption of turmeric by an astonishing 2000 percent, with no adverse effects!
What is interesting is that in India, curry powder is loaded with turmeric, peppers and other spices. Turmeric is added to many dishes in India, and during the cooking 
process, the turmeric is naturally extracted and concentrated. Boiling and cooking helps naturally break down the turmeric in such a way that the absorption of medicinal grade constituents, like curcumin, are greatly enhanced.

The average person in India eats about 2 to 2.5 grams of turmeric a day—that’s about four to six capsules of turmeric a day—almost every day of their lives. Interestingly, India has among the lowest rates in the world of prostate, breast, colon and lung cancer. Some researchers believe this may be due to the quantity of turmeric consumed on a regular basis.

Vitamin D Deficiency Increases Risk of Death in Adults
Author: willllamas
There’s new evidence showing that adults over 60 with low vitamin D levels have a greater risk of serious illness and death than those with higher levels. The study also showed the same number doubles with regards to adults as they age, especially in the are “frail” (unintentional weight loss, muscle weakness, slow walking, low fitness levels and exhaustion).
The study, conducted at Oregon State University by nutritional epidemiologist Dr. Ellen Smith, looked at a nationally representative group of adults over 60 years old. The results showed that these adults with low vitamin D levels had a 30% greater risk of death than people who had higher levels. When looking at adults considered frail, the risk of death doubled from there.
“What this really means is that it is important to assess vitamin D levels in older adults, and especially among people who are frail,” said lead author Ellen Smith of Oregon State University. “Older adults need to be screened for vitamin D.”
As adults age many lack vitamin D for two reasons: decrease in milk consumption and a shortage of sun. Because milk is one of the primary sources of vitamin D for most people, when adults limit their consumptions, their vitamin D levels decrease. The same is true about the sun. The risk of melanoma (skin cancer) increases with age so many older adults try to get as little sun as possible. While limiting skin cancer risk, they are in turn shorting themselves on the necessary vitamin D. There is a happy medium between the two by getting ample but limited sunlight.
The additional benefits of vitamin D are extensive. Vitamin D’s main purpose is to keep bones strong, which is a major reason to maintain healthy levels of it as we age. It is calcium’s partner in crime by allowing maximum absorption during consumption.
According to Dr. Irwin Rosenberg of Tufts University, “adults between 50 and 70 should be getting 400 IU (international units, the measurement usually used on vitamin D labels) of D per day. Once you’re over 70, the recommendation goes up to 600 IU daily.” This is why for many adults, supplementation of vitamin D is recommended.

Vitamin C Increase
Author: oliviamungal
The recommended dietary allowance, or RDA, of vitamin C is less than half what it should be, scientists argue in a recent report, because medical experts insist on evaluating this natural, but critical nutrient in the same way they do pharmaceutical drugs and reach faulty conclusions as a result.
The researchers, in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, say there’s compelling evidence that the RDA of vitamin C should be raised to 200 milligrams per day for adults, up from its current levels in the United States of 75 milligrams for women and 90 for men.
Rather than just prevent the vitamin C deficiency disease of scurvy, they say, it’s appropriate to seek optimum levels that will saturate cells and tissues, pose no risk, and may have significant effects on public health at almost no expense — about a penny a day if taken as a dietary supplement.
“It’s time to bring some common sense to this issue, look at the totality of the scientific evidence, and go beyond some clinical trials that are inherently flawed,” said Balz Frei, professor and director of the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, and one of the world’s leading experts on the role of vitamin C in optimum health.
“Significant numbers of people in the U.S. and around the world are deficient in vitamin C, and there’s growing evidence that more of this vitamin could help prevent chronic disease,” Frei said.
“We believe solid research shows the RDA should be increased,” Frei said. “And the benefit-to-risk ratio is very high. A 200 milligram intake of vitamin C on a daily basis poses absolutely no risk, but there is strong evidence it would provide multiple, substantial health benefits.”
An excellent diet with the recommended five to nine daily servings of fruits and raw or steam-cooked vegetables, together with a six-ounce glass of orange juice, could provide 200 milligrams of vitamin C a day. But most Americans and people around the world do not have an excellent diet.
Even at the current low RDAs, various studies in the U.S. and Canada have found that about a quarter to a third of people are marginally deficient in vitamin C, and up to 20 percent in some populations are severely deficient — including college students, who often have less-than-perfect diets. Smokers and older adults are also at significant risk.
Even marginal deficiency can lead to malaise, fatigue, and lethargy, researchers note. Healthier levels of vitamin C can enhance immune function, reduce inflammatory conditions such as atherosclerosis, and significantly lower blood pressure.
A recent analysis of 29 human studies concluded that daily supplements of 500 milligrams of vitamin C significantly reduced blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, and directly attributes to an estimated 400,000 deaths annually in the U.S.

Yoga while you shop??
Yoga at the Mall
by Yoga Journal
J.C. Penney might be the next unconventional place to offer yoga classes, according to a recent article in the Dallas Business Journal.
CEO Ron Johnson said yoga classes are among the changes that he hopes will transform the image of the store. Other changes will be wider aisles, couches, and coffee bars to draw in customers.
The mall-within-a-mall model is designed to boost sales and allow the department stores to offer a diverse selection. “In our new environment, there are no limits to the type of products we can carry,” Johnson said during the company’s second-quarter earnings presentation..
J.C. Penney isn’t the first retailer to offer yoga classes to bring in customers. Lululemon Athletica stores have been doing it for years. Fred Segal partnered with YogaPoser at the beginning of the year to offer yoga classes. Even bank branches are jumping on the yoga bandwagon.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin Shown to Reduce the Risk of Cataracts
Author: willllamas
By definition, a cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. Cataracts plague over 20 million Americans above age 40 and 5 percent of adults over 80. Traditionally, Vitamin E has been the predominant nutrient used to relieve stress from eye cells and protect against cataracts. In recent times, however, studies have indicated that the powerful antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin are also helpful in protecting eyes from developing cataracts.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, which are pigments that the body can turn into Vitamin A. Carotenoids, primarily found in vegetables, have traditionally been known to act as antioxidants and promote a healthy immune system. Lutein and zeaxanthin are also the only carotenoids actually found in the lens of the eye.
In numerous clinical studies, participants who consumed the greatest amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin have been found to have an 18% lower risk of developing cataracts. The carotenoids showed that they protected the eye from normal oxidative stress that causes cataract growth.
In another study, eye cells were exposed to different nutrients. After the designated 30 day period, the cells exposed to a lutein and zeaxanthin combination had not been damaged at all. The other untreated cells showed normal deterioration. When the lens in the eye breaks down, cataracts form.
Although nutrition and medication will not cause cataracts to recede, nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin can help reduce the risk of cataract damage. Most people don’t get enough lutein and zeaxanthin from diet alone, so supplementation is recommended.

Antioxidants Could Lower the Risk of Pancreatic Cancer
Author: willllamas
A diet high in antioxidants could lower the risk of pancreatic cancer by two thirds, according to a new study. After monitoring the diet and health of participants, a clear relationship emerged. Although preliminary research, this is an important stepping stone in cancer prevention research.
In the study conducted by Dr. Andrew Hart in the UK, the long-term health of more than 23,000 people ages 40 to 74 were tracked. After 20 years, results showed that participants who consumed greater amounts of three antioxidants, (selenium and vitamins C and E) were 67 percent less likely to develop pancreatic cancer compared to those with the lowest intake.
This research is the first to show significant results linking the two even though much research is being conducted looking at the relationship between diet and cancer. “Over the years there have been many attempts to find dietary causes for cancer,” said Dr. Vincent Vinciguerra, of the Monter Cancer Center in Lake Success, N.Y. “It is estimated that 35 percent of cancers are related to carcinogens in the diet. Antioxidants have been the subject of numerous trials because in theory they could be instrumental in the prevention of carcinogenesis.”
With about 250,000 deaths worldwide a year, pancreatic cancer research is more important than ever. Besides diet, other risk factors associated with pancreatic cancer are genes, smoking, and type 2 diabetes. Antioxidant-rich foods include many fruits and vegetables as well as whole grains and seafood. Supplementation of vitamin C and E is also recommended to go hand-in-hand with a healthy diet.

Whey Protein
Author: kerriwhatley
Whey-protein-rich ingredients may improve blood vessel function in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Researchers from the University of Connecticut in the British Journal of Nutrition report that the consumption of proprietary whey-derived bio-active peptides resulted in an increase in flow-mediated dilation (FDM) of between 1 and 1.5%.
While the clinical significance of the results is uncertain, Dr. Jeff Volek and his co-workers note that reduced FMD is reported to be a forecaster of future adverse cardiovascular events with every 1% decrease in FMD linked with a 12% increase in risk.
A randomized double blind study supported by Glanbia, looked at 21 volunteers with an average age of 55 and average BMI of 27.8. The average FMD of the volunteers at the time of enrollment was 3.7%. Applicants were randomly assigned to consume a single 5 gram dose of NOP-47 or a placebo, and cardiovascular responses were measured for 2 hours after intake.
Results showed that NOP-47 consumption was linked with an increase in FMD to 4.6% after 30 minutes and up to 5.1% after 2 hours, compared to increase to only up to 4.3% in the placebo group. This result indicated that the peptides were quickly absorbed and enhanced endothermic-dependent dilation in older adults, said researchers.
Commenting on the potential mechanism, the researchers said that the changes were independent of circulating associative compounds, like nitric oxide (NO), which did not change during the time of the experiments:
“Future investigation is warranted in individuals at an increased CVD risk to further elucidate potential health benefits and the underlying mechanisms of extracts derived from whey”
