and increases the overall antioxidant capacity of the blood.
The powerful antioxidants in Green Tea may help fight the free
radicals that contribute to skin, lung, and stomach cancer as well as
contribute to lowered blood pressure and LDL cholesterol. Green
Tea is rich in a type of polyphenol called catechin. Catechins are 40
to 200 times more effective in seeking out and destroying free radi-
cals than Vitamin A, C and E. These catechins include four major
polyphenols including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epicatechin
gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC) and epicatechin (EC). Of these
compounds EGCG is the most abundant in green tea and has gener-
ated the most interest. Peer?reviewed scientific research has consis-
tently shown that EGCG is a potent antioxidant, deactivating health-
damaging free-radicals. By virtue of its antioxidant effects EGCG has
been shown to exert a number of beneficial activities, such as reduc-
ing inflammation, and normalizing cell and tissue functions. In pro-
moting cardiovascular health EGCG has been shown to inhibit free-
radical activity in the arteries, improving coronary circulation. Other
studies have shown that ECGC has a benefit in normalizing blood
glucose and protecting the pancreas from oxidative damage, as well
as in boosting metabolism and burning fat. Green tea catechins and
ECGC in particular have also been shown to naturally support detox-
ification and the elimination of toxic substances from the body while
protecting the liver.
Grape skin and grape seed extracts are anti-inflammatory and
radioprotective. They are abundant in a group of polyphenols called
procyanidins. Procyanidins are strong antioxidants, lipid peroxidation
inhibitors, and free radical scavengers. Procyanidins have antimuta-
genic effects, meaning they can counteract environmental mutagens,
which are thought to be one of the causes of chronic degenerative
diseases. Procyanidins also increase circulation making them helpful
for conditions such as venous insufficiency (a condition in which the
veins have trouble sending blood from the legs back to the heart). A
placebo controlled study showed that treatment with procyanidins
improved venous functionality and reduced pain, cramps, edema
and paresthesias (tingling). Due to procyanidins positive effects on
circulation, grape skin and seed extracts are helpful for numerous
vision disorders. Studies show treatment with procyanidins from the
extracts increase resistance to glare, decrease ocular stress from pro-
longed activity at a computer and improve contrast sensitivity, retinal
function and sensitivity in myopia (nearsightedness).

Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical
Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical
A popular first-aid remedy for trauma, injuries.
Arnica is the pre-eminent remedy for trauma, injuries, and acci-
dents and is a common part of first aid kits and home medicine cab-
inets. This topical oil is massaged into painful tissue that has been
traumatized from an accident, athletic event and overexertion.
Massage Therapists and Chiropractors commonly use arnica oil on
muscle and joints that are problematic in order to disburse congest-
ed fluids in a painful area.
It is thought that Arnica works as a fluid transport stimulating herb.
It moves interstitual fluids through ischemic tissue. Ischemic tissue is
tissue that has diminished oxygen content because of restricted
blood and fluid flow. This action by Arnica on the painful tissue
helps it heal and stop the pain cycle. As a result of the increased cir-
culation, cellular waste is removed, bruises clear up, pain diminish-
es, tissue heals, tissue oxygenates and recovery time is significantly
reduced.
Athletes find arnica reduces potential for injury, reduces recovery
time from injury and bruising.
Arnica Topical Oil is great for the daily bumps and bruises
inevitable in life and especially childhood. It is safe for kids.
Phyto-Tech™ Arnica Oil 1:6 Topical contains the following: Arnica
montana Flowers (Wild Harvested), Sage Essential Oil, Extra Virgin
Cold Pressed Olive Oil,
Note: First extracted in alcohol and oil to maximize potency, then
the alcohol is removed.
Special Note: Most Arnica on the market is “Mexican” Arnica. This
is commonly Heterothica inuloides, an adulterant and is not true
Arnica. The Vitality Works Arnica products are made from the true
European Arnica montana.
Cautions: Do not apply to open wounds, ulcerations or on areas
prone to bleeding; Do not take internally; Discontinue use if very
sensitive skin results in a rash.
Complimentary Formulas and Single Herbs:
Phyto-Tech™ MuscleGesic, an oral formula for muscle and general
body pain, inflammation
Phyto-Tech™ Comfrey Root 1:3 (to promote healing of breaks,
fractures, sprains, cuts, lesions)
Phyto-Tech™ Valerian Root 1:2 (for severe pain)
Phyto-Tech™ St. John’s Wort 1:2 (if nerves are very sensitive or
painful)
Dosage: Massage into effected areas as needed. Repeat 2-3 times
per day or as needed.
Arnica works best if applied in full concentration to the problemat-
ic area. It is less effective if applied all over the body as massage oil.
Use a different oil for a massage (i.e. almond oil) and arnica on the
painful area.

Nutrients reduced oxidative
stress, lowered chances of heart
disease
L-carnitine
Flexible arteries with smooth inner wall lin-
ings reduce chances for heart disease, so
keeping plaque from building up along coro-
nary artery walls is essential to good heart
health. Doctors said a common factor in
heart disease is the oxidative damage from
free radicals that accelerates plaque buildup.
In this study, 39 older adults with at least
one major coronary artery half-blocked by
plaque took 500 mg of l-carnitine twice per
day or a placebo. After 12 weeks, signs of
oxidative cell damage increased for placebo
by 5 percent but decreased for l-carnitine by
10 percent.
Levels of a powerful antioxidant, superox-
ide dismutase, declined for placebo by 12
percent yet rose 39 percent in the l-carnitine
group. Finally, a detoxifying enzyme that sup-
ports antioxidant defenses decreased 7 per-
cent for placebo but increased 11 percent for
l-carnitine.
(A note from Don Goldberg: There was some
misleading media reporting on carnitine
recently. If you are interested, we have posted

Vitamin D
In this study, doctors measured vitamin D
levels in 14,641 adults and followed up for
13 years. Those with the highest circulating
levels of vitamin D were less likely to have
died from any cause compared to those with
the lowest levels. Looking at specific diseases,
compared to those with the lowest levels,
those with the highest levels of vitamin D
were less likely to have cardiovascular dis-
ease, a heart attack, or a respiratory disease
of any kind. Those with the highest vitamin
D levels were also 76 percent less likely to
have died from any respiratory disease.
Doctors said, contrary to other studies,
there was no link to cancer for those with the
highest levels of
vitamin D.

Lower Cholesterol Naturally
Plant-based nutrients improve lipids
in four weeks
Chlorella helped those with mildly
elevated cholesterol levels
Recent research supports the idea that
healthy diets and certain foods can reduce
chances of heart problems. In this study, 68
men and women with total cholesterol levels
from 200 to 250 mg/dL took a placebo or 5
grams of chlorella, divided into three doses,
one with each meal of the day.
After four weeks, while there were no sig-
nificant changes for placebo, those taking
chlorella had 1.6 percent lower total choles-
terol, 10.3 percent lower triglycerides, an 11
percent decline in very-low-density lipopro-
tein, or VLDL, the “bad” cholesterol, and a 4
percent increase in HDL, the “good” choles-
terol. Circulating levels of lutein, zeaxanthin,
and alpha-carotene, all important antioxi-
dants, also increased.
Discussing their findings, doctors said the
cholesterol-lowering effects may be due to
the high fiber, high antioxidant content of
chlorella, and that the differences between
the placebo and chlorella groups in the study
indicate, “True supplement effects.”

Potassium, an important
everyday nutrient. improves
circulation and supports
women’s health.
Improving blood vessel function
Keeping the blood vessels relaxed and flexi-
ble may slow or prevent cardiovascular dis-
ease, and increasing potassium may help. In
this study, 35 men and women, aged 21 to
44, alternated between high- and low-potas-
sium diets for six days each, while maintain-
ing a calorie-controlled diet.
Comparing the high-potassium diets to the
low, during the high-potassium phases, blood
flow was much better, and one sign of devel-
oping cardiovascular disease significantly
decreased.
Doctors said the findings suggest that potas-
sium affects the smooth-muscle lining that
runs along blood vessel walls, possibly by
increasing nitric oxide, a powerful relaxant,
which helps dilate the blood vessels and
increase blood flow.
Stroke and longevity in women
Many older women do not get the recom-
mended amount of potassium from foods
such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Doctors
said prior studies found potassium lowered
blood pressure and wanted to test the effect
of potassium on stroke and longevity.
In the study, researchers measured potassi-
um in the diets of 90,137 postmenopausal
women who had not had a stroke, and fol-
lowed up for an average of 11 years. Overall,
the women got an average of 2,611 mg per
day from foods, far below government rec-
ommendations of 4,700 mg of potassium per
day.
Women with normal, untreated blood
pressure who got the most potassium in the
diet were less likely to have any kind of
