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
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.

Keep Blood Vessels Flexible; A
Link To Longevity
Vitamin K2 In Women
In the first study on long-term vitamin K2
supplementation and cardiovascular health,
227 healthy postmenopausal women took
180 mcg of vitamin K2 – menaquinone 7 per
day, or a placebo. After three years, while the
placebo group had an increase in blood ves-
sel stiffness, women who took vitamin K2
saw an average 33 percent improvement in
blood vessel flexibility.
Discussing the findings, doctors said it was
remarkable that the women taking vitamin
K2 not only did not experience the typical
age-related stiffening of the arterial walls, but
also saw measurable improvements in vascu-
lar elasticity across the entire circulatory sys-
tem compared to the placebo group. Arterial
flexibility has a direct link to longevity.

Antioxidant Vitamins
This review of 20 studies covering 1,909
people measured the effects of taking the
antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and beta-
carotene, alone or combined, on arterial stiff-
ness, compared to placebo.
Healthy people of any age who had taken
any one of these antioxidants alone or
together in any combination, for any length
of time, had lower chances of developing
arterial stiffness compared to placebo.
Doctors also saw improvement among those
with existing arterial stiffness who took vita-
mins compared to placebo.
Overall, combining results from all 20 stud-
ies, taking antioxidant supplements reduced
the chances for cardiovascular disease by 4.7
percent. Doctors concluded that taking
antioxidant vitamins has a small, protective
effect on arterial stiffness.

Garlic Lowers Blood Pressure
Benefits Especially In Those With
Hypertension
All forms of the supplement are effective
In this review of 17 garlic studies,
researchers analyzed the combined effects of
garlic powder, aged garlic extract, and garlic
oil supplements on blood pressure. Doses in
the placebo-controlled studies ranged from
300 to 900 mg of garlic per day, providing
1.8 to 5.4 mg of allicin, the active compound
in garlic doctors believe may be responsible
for the blood pressure benefits.
Overall compared to placebo, those who
took garlic supplements saw systolic and
diastolic blood pressure decline by 3.75 and
3.39 mmHg, respectively. Looking at a sub-
group of those with elevated blood pressure,
systolic blood pressure declined by 4.4
mmHg on average.
Discussing their findings, doctors said it
may be the antioxidants in garlic that coun-
teract oxidative stress that damages blood
vessels, or that garlic may help blood vessels
relax and dilate, lowering blood pressure.

Beating the Common Cold
Pycnogenol® Helped Manage
Symptoms, Shorten Duration
Natural remedy effective at first signs of a
cold
When the 70 adult men and women in this
study first felt cold symptoms, they began to
take 50 mg of Pycnogenol twice per day.
Doctors compared their experience to 76
other similar adults who did not take
Pycnogenol when cold symptoms set in. Both
groups took their usual good care in manag-
ing their colds.
Colds lasted an average of 3.1 days for the
Pycnogenol group compared to 4.2 days for
those taking no treatment. For workdays lost,
those taking Pycnogenol were out of work an
average of 0.55 days compared to 0.67 days
for the no-treatment group. The Pycnogenol
group also had to rely less on over-the-
counter cold remedies than the no-treatment
group, and had fewer upper respiratory com-
plications as well, suggesting that Pycnogenol
helps manage symptoms and reduces the
duration of the common cold.
