available, in a convenient liquid extract.
Who might benefit from this supplement? Anyone needing antioxi-
dant protection as well as those looking for enhanced immunity,

aging” supplement regimen.
More specifically, this herbal supplement might benefit: Those
who desire protection against everyday toxins--dietary, environmen-
tal and chemical. Those with current health problems, those under
high amounts of stress, smokers or those exposed to second-hand
smoke, and anyone who lives or is exposed to a toxic lifestyle. Those

the most powerful.

Magnesium helps keep heart
arteries healthy
Higher magnesium levels reduce
artery calcification
Earlier studies found magnesium may pre-
vent plaque buildup in arteries, but these
studies were done in the laboratory, and/or
on animals. Doctors had little evidence of its
effect in humans.
Now they do. In this recent study, 2,695
participants, aged 42 to 64, without cardio-
vascular disease, reported their diets and
underwent X-ray CT scans to measure coro-
nary artery calcification and abdominal aortic
calcification, two key areas where plaque
builds up.
Doctors adjusted for differences in health
and family histories, lifestyle, and other fac-
tors, and found that a 50 mg increase in total
magnesium per day lowered chances of
coronary artery calcification by 22 percent
and chances of abdominal aortic calcification
by 12 percent.
Comparing those with the most magnesium
in the diet to those with the least, chances
for having any coronary artery calcification at
all were 58 percent lower, and for any
abdominal aortic calcification at all, 34 per-
cent lower. Women seemed to benefit most
from better levels of magnesium in the diet.
This study was published in JACC
Cardiovascular Imaging; 2014, Vol. 7, No. 1,
59-69.
If it seems you have been hearing a lot
about the benefits of magnesium recently,
you are correct. We have written about it fre-
quently in this publication, and there is more
later in this issue.
This is one reason we modified the ratio of
magnesium to calcium in the new, improved
Willvite Formulation. The old formula had
500 mg of magnesium and 1,000 mg of cal-
cium per four tablets, or a 2:1 ratio. The new
Willvite formula has an increased level of
magnesium, 600 mg, and a reduced level of
calcium, 800 mg., per four tablets. This
results in a 1.33:1 ratio of calcium to
Magnesium.
The general consensus, now, is that we
need a bit less supplemental calcium and a
more supplemental magnesium. The new
Willvite formula is designed to satisfy these
new guidelines.
Need to lose weight? These
nutrients help reduce and keep
weight off
Probiotics
Earlier studies have found overweight peo-
ple have less healthy bacteria in the gut than
those who are healthy-weight.
What would happen if we corrected that
situation by providing probiotic supplementa-
tion to overweight people who are trying to
lose weight?
In this study, 125 overweight men and
women ate a calorie-controlled diet for 12
weeks, followed by 12 weeks of weight
maintenance. During the entire time, partici-
pants took lactobacillus rhamnosus or a
placebo.
After the first 12 weeks, while there was no
effect in men, women in the probiotics group
had lost 10 pounds, compared to six pounds
for placebo. Over the next 12 weeks, the
placebo group reversed their progress while
the women taking probiotics continued to
lose more body weight and fat mass.
Doctors don’t know why the men didn’t
respond to probiotics, but suggest the dose
may need to be higher or the study period
increased. Probiotics may alter the perme-
ability of the intestinal wall, keeping inflam-
matory molecules from entering the blood-
stream and helping prevent a chain reaction
leading to glucose intolerance, obesity, and
type 2 diabetes, doctors said.
The dose is only one factor that might need
to be examined. Another question is whether
the results would have been even better if a
different strain of probiotic was used--or, bet-
ter yet, a high potency blend of several
strains?
As you know, dosage is important when it
come to probiotic supplements. Some of the
friendly bacteria is destroyed as it travels
through the upper part of our digestive sys-
tem. This is why it is important to start with a
high number of microorganisms. This ensures
that a decent amount survives at the point of
activity.
It is also important to realize that there are
many different types and strains of these
“friendly bacteria,” and we do not really
know which ones are best for various condi-
tions. This is why many prefer to utilize high
potency blends, or mixtures, of different
known types and strains.
Many products of this type are avaialable,
with high potency blends guaranteed for the
shelf life of the product. Here are some
