results for the Pycnogenol group.
For blood vessel flexibility and oxidative
stress, it was a different story. While there
was no change for those who did
not
take
Pycnogenol, those who were in the
Pycnogenol group saw an impressive 66 per-
cent improvement in blood vessel flexibility
and a 20 percent improvement in signs of
oxidative stress.

Pycnogenol is an extract of the bark of
French maritime pine. It consists of a family
of chemicals known as oligomeric proantho-
cyanidin complexes, or OPCs.
Similar substances are found in Grape Seed
extract, red wine, highly colored fruits, etc.
Many of the benefits attributed to OPC’s is
similar to what you may have associated with
“bioflavonoids,” especially relative to circula-
tion and heart disease.
Omega-7 – the new good fat on
the block.
Early studies of omega-7, or palmitoleic
acid, have found lipid and inflammation ben-
efits. In this first placebo-controlled study, 30
adults with abnormal lipid levels and mild
systemic inflammation took 220.5 mg of
omega-7 per day or a placebo while main-
taining their regular diets.
After 30 days, compared to the start of the
study, those taking omega-7 saw the inflam-
matory factor high-sensitivity C-reactive pro-
tein decline by 44 percent, triglyceride levels
decline by 15 percent, and LDL—the “bad”
cholesterol—levels drop by 8 percent.
HDL—the “good” cholesterol—levels
increased by 5 percent compared to place-
bo.
Doctors see omega-7 fatty acids as a new
good fat that helps control and metabolize
lipids, and keeps them from accumulating
in the liver.

premenopausal women took 1,000 mcg of
vitamin K1 per day or a placebo.
After four weeks, the hormones that regu-
late insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control
had improved much more in the vitamin K1
group than for placebo, and two hours after
eating, insulin and blood sugar levels had
increased for placebo while declining for
those who took vitamin K1.
Discussing the findings, doctors said taking
vitamin K1 for four weeks had beneficial
effects on glycemic status and insulin sensitiv-
ity in pre-diabetic and premenopausal
women.

Chinese Red Ginseng
Chinese Red Ginseng
Ginseng is the premier adaptogenic, immune-modulating herb.
Chinese Red Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is more “stimulating” or
warming than American Ginseng.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those suffering from
fatigue, burn-out, frequent illness, depression. Red Chinese Ginseng
is thought to increase vigor, energy, vitality and resistance to illness
and environmental or external stress. It is often the preferred adap-
togenic herb for the elderly.
Supplemental Information:
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng increases vigor, energy, vitality
and resistance to illness and environmental stresses. It is best for
those who are depleted and are low on passion in life. It is also
indicted for those working too hard and are afraid of burn out. Red
Chinese Ginseng will increase the stress hormone ACTH from the
pituitary that helps the body adapt to stress. When stress is initiating
the breakdown on one’s innate weakness (genetic, constitutional,
predispositional tendencies), Red Chinese Ginseng will help the
body to cope and therefore assist in many chronic diseases, especial-
ly if debilitating and wasting.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng is not for those in their prime
of life who are full of fire, the Type-A personality. It is for those who
used to be that way and are now not what they used to be. It helps
in the aging process to stay alert, youthful, energetic and adaptive to
environmental changes. It is immunomodulating and keeps the
immune system firing on all levels.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng is a tonic for the 21st century
with the fast paced life style that creates accelerated wear and tear.
It gives more mileage to the body.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng should be considered for
depression in the elderly who might not be chemically depressed in
a St. John’s Wort way (serotonin), but need some energy to process
life with more passion and enjoyment. It is synergistic with Ginkgo
for the elderly.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng is a more yang or
warming and stimulating ginseng than the American.
Eleuthero Root (sometimes referred to as Siberian Ginseng)
is not a true Ginseng and is considered neutral, not warming
or cooling.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng contains 333 mg of imported
Chinese Red Ginseng per 30 drops.
Dosage: 15-45 drops, 2-3 times per day It is best used as a long
term tonic (1-3 months and longer).

Chlorophyll Extract
Chlorophyll
Often considered the “blood” of plants, chlorophyll is structurally
similar to hemoglobin. It has a protective and detoxifcation
action.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those with heavy metal
toxicity and those looking for cleansing and detoxification properties.
Those with bad breath and body odor. Those suffering from fatigue
and those with slow healing wounds.
Phyto-Tech™ Chlorophyll provides 100 mg Chlorophyll, from
Mulberry leaf, per 30 drops.
Dosage: 15-30 drops in water or juice, 1-2 time daily, or as need-
ed
Supplemental Information:
Chlorophyll is the sunlight collecting molecule in plants that gives
them their green pigment. Plants use chlorophyll to collect light
needed for photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis Chlorophyll mol-
ecules have the ability to convert solar energy into chemical energy
by manufacturing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
Chlorophyll is often referred to as the “blood” of plants.
Interestingly, Chlorophyll molecules are structurally very similar to
human hemoglobin molecules. The difference between the two
being that Chlorophyll carries Magnesium at its center and hemoglo-
bin carries iron at its center. Like iron, Chlorophyll helps the body
build red blood cells and thus increases oxygen availability. It ener-
gizes and revitalizes the body and is helpful for fatigue, shortness of
breath, asthma, altitude sickness and intense physical exertion.
Chlorophyll acts as an internal deodorizer and is helpful for peo-
ple with halitosis (bad breath) and body odor. It can be used as an
aid to reduce digestive tract odor from a colostomy or ileostomy and
also fecal odor caused by incontinence. It can also help for foul
smelling gas. Chlorophyll cleanses and nourishes the intestinal tract
and is healing to the mucosal lining. It can also be helpful for consti-
pation.
Chorophyll is an excellent whole body cleanser. It not only detoxi-
fies the digestive tract, but also facilitates cleansing of the blood and
liver and assists in the chelation of heavy metals. It is capable of neu-
tralizing harmful oxidants and may reduce oxidative damage from
certain carcinogens. It also has the ability to form tight molecular
complexes with carcinogens and in doing so blocks the body’s
absorption of them. In a placebo controlled study conducted in
China Chlorophyll supplementation was found to decrease DNA
damage caused by aflatoxin, a liver carcinogen produced by fungus
in moldy grains and legumes. Scientists hope that in populations
with unavoidable dietary aflatoxin exposure Chlorophyll supplemen-
tation could significantly reduce the risk of developing liver cancer.

This is a standardized Cinnamon Bark complex in a liquid filled
veggie cap.
Historically, Cinnamon has been used for various gastrointestinal
problems. More recently, interest has centered on the research
showing that Cinnamon can help normalize blood sugar control.
This is of major interest to those with type 2 diabetes.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those with blood sugar
regulation problems, including type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and
cholesterol related conditions.

Bark (alcohol extract), 75 mg of Cinnamon Bark (supercritical carbon
dioxide extract, standardized ro 40 mg Cinnamaldehydes.
According to Natural Standard Integrative Medicine database,
“Cinnamon may be used for various medical conditions (77;?78). In
a survey of parents in Germany determining the use of complemen-
tary and alternative medicines in children with type 1 diabetes in
four pediatric diabetes centers (located in Leipzig, Berlin, Stuttgart,
and Bonn), 5.6% reported using cinnamon for this indication (79).
Cinnamon has been touted as having a positive effect on postprandi-
al glucose metabolism (80). Its ability to lower blood sugar in individ-
uals with diabetes has been discussed (81). Naturally occurring com-
pounds found in cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), including chromi-
um and polyphenols, may improve insulin sensitivity (82). Human
data suggest that cinnamon exhibits "sweet" properties and may be
used in strategies for reduction of sugar intake (83).
Each two liquid filled veggie caps contain 250 mg of Cinnamon
Bark (alcohol extract), 75 mg of Cinnamon Bark (supercritical carbon
dioxide extract, standardized ro 40 mg Cinnamaldehydes.
Also available in a vegetarian capsule form. Each veggie capsule
contains 410 mg of certified organic Cinnamon Bark.
The Cinnamon used in Phyto-Tech™ Cinnamon supplements is
Cinnamomum cassia, the species utilized in research. It is certified
organic and vegetarian.

Nutrients improve women’s
metabolic function--thyroid and
blood sugar.
Zinc and selenium improve thyroid
function
Zinc and selenium help the body produce
thyroid hormone, and doctors wanted to see
if taking supplements would help women
with low thyroid function, or hypothyroidism,
where the metabolism slows, leading to
weight gain and fatigue.
In this study, 68 overweight or obese
women with hypothyroidism took 30 mg of
zinc gluconate, alone or with 200 mcg of
selenium yeast, per day, or a placebo. After
12 weeks, while there were no changes for
placebo, both the zinc and zinc/selenium
groups saw improvements in the two thyroid
hormones that help regulate the rate of ener-
gy the body uses.
Doctors said the findings suggest zinc alone
or with selenium has a beneficial effect on
thyroid function in overweight or obese
women with hypothyroidism.
Vitamin K1 improves insulin
sensitivity, blood sugar control
Doctors wanted to test the effects of vita-
min K1 (phylloquinone) on blood sugar
metabolism and insulin sensitivity in pre-dia-
betic women. In this study, 82 pre-diabetic,
