Grape Seed Good For Hearth Health

tary modifications are usually one of the first recommendations made by health care providers when someone is diagnosed with pre-hypertension or metabolic syndrome. But while adopting a healthier diet may seem easy, many people find it difficult to change their old eating habits. Now two new studies indicate that adding a grape seed extract supplement, which is high in beneficial polyphenols, may help people at risk to improve their cardiovascular health.

In two newly published human clinical studies conducted by the University of California, Davis researchers have concluded that a patented grape seed extract may help lower blood pressure in individuals with pre-hypertension, and may reduce post-meal glycemic response as well as LDL concentrations in individuals diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. These studies build on an already solid body of scientific evidence of grape seed extract’s cardiovascular benefits.

Representatives from Polyphenolics will be on hand to discuss the findings during Engredea 2013 at Booth 451.

Reducing blood pressure among pre-hypertensive adultsHypertension affects approximately 60 percent of Americans, and remains a major cause of death in the U.S. It is currently estimated that 31 percent of adults over age 18 are pre-hypertensive. It has been suggested that eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables promotes lower blood pressure in part because of the phenolic compounds contained by plant products.

In the results of a randomized double blind, placebo-controlled study, published in theJournal of Pharmacy and Nutrition Sciences, UC Davis researchers describe how grape seed extract significantly lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure among 32 pre-hypertensive adults after just eight weeks. “This study showed that the extract when administered orally at a dose of 300 mg daily resulted in a significant reduction in blood pressure,” commented lead researcher C. Tissa Kappagoda, professor, director, Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, UC Davis.

While acknowledging that the study was small, the researchers commented that this is evidence that the polyphenolic compounds present in grape seed extract, “could form the non-pharmaceutical basis for managing hypertension.” They added that supplementation could be a means for stemming the short- and medium-term results of a poor diet.

EVEREST Earth & Sea Formula is perhaps the most comprehensive Daily Formula and one of the  most unique traits is it is one of the most advanced array of antioxidants on the market including grape seed extract, resveratrol, coQ10, etc.

Natural Biology Meta-Analysis on New Omega 3 Researh

At Natural Biology we are a big big time believer in the benefits of Omega 3, particular in the western diet since we consume far more Omega 6 than Omega 3 - sometimes as much as 10 times more and proper ration should be 1 to 1.  At Natural Biology we spent 10 years sources Omega 3 solutions and came up with two we are confident are as good as it gets.  Like other supplements Natural Biology places the emphasis on purity, potency, and efficacy - this is how your body absorbs and utilizes a supplement - or does it just store or eliminate it.  Natural Biology's Norwegian Omega 3 and Arctic Ocean Krill Oil are two of the most outstanding supplements for Omega 3 on the market today.

New Meta-Analysis

Bedsores are a common problem with critically ill patients.  Professor Singer of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University lead a team of scientist to investigate patients with bedsores which are caused by constant pressure on the skin due to lying or sitting down for prolonged periods.  One of Natural Biology's major meta-analysis observations and themes is human beings are designed to move, to stay in motion, to expel and inhale energy through exercise, diet, supplements, air, and rest.

The study consisted of 40 randomly selected critically ill patients.   The control group was given 8 grams of fish oil daily through their food.  After only 3 weeks these patients began to experience less pain,  lower levels of inflammation throughout the body - and overall health condition was measured to have a 20-25% improvement.  The researches discovered a modification in the expression of a group of molecules associated with leukocytes, or white blood cells, in the direction of the wound, which could explain the improved healing.

Researches also noted a decline, a rather significant decline in the amount of C-reactive protein, in the blood.   C-reactive protein is associated with inflammation and linked to viral and bacterial infections, rheumatic diseases, tissue inure, and necrosis.

CoQ10 Supports Congestive Heart Failure

New data is just in that shows how CoQ10 supports patients with congestive heart failure (scientist from Tulane University).   Natural Biology does meta-analysis of major clinical trails and bases all Natural Biology supplements on the meta-analysis thereof - thus Natural Biology's theme "In nature not all things are equal, some are superior - and supported by science."

The first associated improvement was indicated by the improvement in the ability of the heart to pump blood,  along with general heart scores - this according the the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

CHF, or Congestive Heart Failure, is the leading cause of mortality in the world, and in particular the United States.  The meta-analysis of this study demonstrates how CoQ10 may benefit patients - and it also suggest that patients with less significant CHF may also benefit.

Test during these trails consisted of 60mg to 300mg of CoQ10 over a 2 to 24 week period.   The meta-analysis is the most comprehensive we are aware of which takes in 13 studies to make these conclusions.  

In the United States,  many people are taking CoQ10 because of the use of statin drugs used the lower cholesterol because CoQ10 is depleted from the body during the use of statin drugs.

NATURAL BIOLOGY ON THE VALUE OF ANTIOXIDANT ORAC & EFFICACY

Present study was carried out to standardize the oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) assay for the estimation of antioxidant value of botanicals indigenous to Indian subcontinent by taking Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) and an Ayurvedic proprietary polyherbal formulation (PHF) as a representative standard. The ORAC assay for ethanolic and aqueous (Organic Amla-C®) extracts of Amalaki and PHF were carried out using 96-well flat optical bottom clear black plates by the use of sensitive florescent multiple plate reader and fluorescein as a probe, vitamin C was used as a reference standard. The assay was found to be simple, versatile, reproducible, and can be widely used for estimating the total antioxidant activity of the herbs and propriety PHF. The study also highlights Amalaki and Himalaya PHF as rich sources of antioxidants. The antioxidant activities of Amalaki extracts were found to be slightly more than vitamin C and similarly the antioxidant activity of Himalaya PHF was comparable to that of vitamin C (in terms of total ORAC values). ORAC means Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity and it is the method used to measure the potency of an antioxidant.  Most of the time it is a useful measurement however just because something has a high ORAC  does not mean it has a high efficacy - how it works in humans.   Often lab ORAC test do not mean that the ORAC's effectiveness was tested in humans in clinical trails.   Natural Biology only uses well-studied antoxidant that have passed both human efficacy results as well as good ORAC values. Natural Biology uses the following high ORAC antioxidants that have equally high efficacy results: Alpha Lipoic Acid Resveratrol - from French Red Wine Grape Extract CoQ10 Pomegranate Extract Green Tea Extract Grape Seed Extract Acaii Extract Goji Berry Extract Noni Extract Gingo Biloba Querceting Gluatamine Antioxidants Beyond the Hype - Harvard Study  Red Wine and Cancer Prevention: The Facts

Natural Biology | Norwegian Omega 3

Not all fish oils are created equal, some are superior and supported by good science.  Natural Biology spent over 10 years before we endorsed a fish oil.   We partnered with Omega Protein because they started offering Manhaden single source fish oil with not only high amounts of DHA and EPA but it is the only fish oil with naturally occurring DPA which is the missing link - thus making DHA and EPA uptake more efficient and improving the efficacy of fish oils.   Here's video of the people who catch and process our fish oil - pretty cool

Natural Biology Hot List

From time to time, people ask me "what's hot."   From my perspective,  I immediately ask myself are they asking which ingredients are getting "buzz" regardless of the health benefits or are they asking me which ingredients have a growing body of research to support serious health change - because you actually took the right ingredient, at the right amount, with the proper purity and potency - and followed the guidelines for use.   I apologize immediately if that sounds negative but I think it is positive because I firmly believe after hearing story after story for the past 10 years - good supplements change one's life for a brighter future.

One story always comes to mind.  There was a 70 year old couple who were literally bed ridden, starting first on Okinawa Coral Calcium, and then began to add the EVEREST Protocol - and within six months this couple was playing Alta Tennis a few times each week.   Another story is of a Mother who for over 7 years had seen doctor after doctor,  took anti-depressants, had not cooked breakfast for her kids for 7 years nor could she clean her own house.   She started the EVEREST Protocol out of desperation and within 2 weeks was getting up driving her kids to school, cooking them breakfast, and cleaning her house.   She called me and asked me "What the hell is going on, I feel great for the first time in a long time."

While those stories are precious in their own right, day after day, we hear people telling us they get sick less, they have more energy, they are sleeping soundly, and just have a strong overall sense of well-being - and feel younger than their age.  In my own case, at 59 I have not had a cold or the flu in over ten years - and I feel 30 feet off a roof a year ago - broke several ribs and a shoulder - and I have recovered faster than the physicians said I would and I've taken all the right supplements to support my injury and reduce the inflammation and pain.  Now I just take the EVEREST Protocol which meets my growing needs of a demanding life, age, and stress levels.   I feel much younger than my age.   People tell me I look younger than my age, but I'd like to look ever younger - ha ha.

Here's my Natural Biology Top 10 List...

• 1.  Okinawa Coral Calcium - Marine Grade SMP 44 Quality
• 2.  Resveratrol - extracted from French Red Wine Grape Extract yielding no less than 5% trans-resveratrol which is not the mainstream market (do not take polygonum cuspidatum)
• 3.   Green Tea Extract - no other ingredient has been studied more and the health benefits amazing
• 4.   Omega 3 - I really like 1000mg of Krill Oil Daily but I also like Norwegian Omega 3 which contains not only DHA and EPA but DPA - the missing link in most fish oils.  
• 5.  CoQ10 - for energy and cardiovascular health this antioxidant is amazing.  
• 6.  Siberian Rhodolia Rosea - this adaptogen helps your body adapt to stress, increases energy, stimulates libido, and no serious supplement should be without it.  (EVEREST Earth & Sea Formula)
• 7.  Chorella - this blue green algae has naturally occurring vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants and helps the body clear toxins.
• 8.  Vitamin D and Vitamin C - most people take far too less of both of these essential vitamins for building a strong immune system and most American have serious Vitamin D deficiencies.   This does not mean one does not need Vitamin A or the B Vitamins and increasingly Vitamin K - but we tend to get a lot of these vitamins in food sources.
• 9.  Whey Protein Isolate -  there is no better method to insure you are getting all the amino acids in your diet, both the required 8 and the non-essential which also boost good health.
• 10.  Probiotics - this is the good bacteria that helps build a healthy digestive system.   Some estimate that 80% of your immune system starts in your gut and eating out and poor food sources destroy healthy bacteria in your gut - good probiotics restores balance.  

Conclusion:  Take Natural Biology's EVEREST Protocol, add Ultra Probiotics, and use our Micro Whey - and you have a comprehensive and complete supplement store with 5 products that will meet 90% of people's need for a path to excellent health.   Of course, here are a few other pointers:

• Exercise - walk daily
• Stress Management - meditation, breathing exercises, prayer, etc.
• Diet - eat the  Mediterranean diet . If you are over-weight, consider a gluten free diet. 
• Socially Active - have an active social and family life
• Natural Biology Supplements - Balanced, Comprehensive, Affordable

Natural Biology Emerging Evidence for Vitamins & Health

In the past 100 years vitamins have been found to play a vital role in the health and wellbeing of human beings;  however, the full benefits of many vitamins or micro-nutrients has yet to be discovered.    This is a new and exiting field of science and Natural Biology is committed to be a significant research think tank for the world of natural vitamins including all micro-nutrients and macro-nutrient which include vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, Omega 3s, enzymes, probiotics, glyconutrients, phytonutrients, and adaptogens.   While Natural Biology incorporates herbs into our formulations from time to time, herbs overall are just coming into their own and markets are catching up realizing fresh and medical benefits are forthcoming if the process, testing, and research continues.

There are good many of major university studies that validate the link between the consumption of high quality supplements and health, and there are not many areas that do not show great promise.

In recent years Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Resveratrol, Co-Q10, and a number of antioxidants have been backed by solid science and clinical studies - using human beings not just rats in labs.   For example scientist have discovered high doses of Vitamin D could result in reduce menstrual cramping in women who have severe problems.   The challenge is for the medical community to come to grips with these reality and work closely with vitamin experts who understand quality and efficacy.    We are in the early pioneer days of exploring these realities and the promise supplements offer.

Natural Biology remains committed to provide high quality solutions to supplements at family prices - and education on top of these effective protocols.   Make sure and visit our main website www.naturalbiology.com and sign up for TRANSCEND - our Newsletter about Mind/Body/Soul and the world of Natural Vitamins.

The Biology & Science of Natural Biology

Natural Biology is the ultimate natural vitamin supplement company of Natural Science. 

Why?

NATURAL BIOLOGY 7 BIOLOGY STATEMENTS in Easy to Understand Terms

1. Natural Biology supplements are 100% natural and made fresh and are guaranteed for purity and potency.
2. Natural Biology uses micro-nutrients from the best source in the world; however, all are processed and tested in the USA under the most stringent standards.
3. Natural Biology uses orthomolecular modeling developed by Dr. Linus Pauling where the correct potency is used in each formula to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate cell activity -thus a higher efficacy.  
4. Natural Biology uses only ingredients that have extensive support from a meta-analysis of university research and does not use buzz items that may be market hot but have poor evidence to support claims. 
5. Natural Biology believes more in the actual supplement means one can achieve the ultimate supplement plan by taking less.  Other companies recommend 40-60 capsules or tablets per day to achieve a balanced and comprehensive supplement plan whereas Natural Biology has perfected the EVEREST Protocol that consist of 7-10 units per day and clearly exceeds the benefits in every sense of more extensive protocols.  
6. Natural Biology practices progressive formulation which means all formulations are updated as ingredients improve and research demonstrates better methodologies.  This also improves efficacy because the more advanced formulations change a little bit over time which keeps the orthomolecular activity high - thus improved absorption and efficacy.
7. Natural Biology offers custom style high end supplements at family prices.  Simply put, you get more for less.   Most supplement companies have low cost and some of their most expensive products have huge mark-ups or cheaper products consist solely of cheap Chinese imports - where quality is suspect.

In nature all things are not equal, some are superior - and proven by science.
