Some of the most powerful, broad-spectrum antioxidants are
those found in plants. This supplement contains a blend of
several of the most potent plant-derived phyto-antioxidants
available, in a convenient liquid extract.
Who might benefit from this supplement? Anyone needing antiox-
idant protection as well as those looking for enhanced immunity,
those with cardiovascular problems, stress, and concerns about envi-
ronmental pollution. It is also an essential component of any “anti-
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
who are at risk to the various degenerative diseases associated with
aging, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impair-
ment, Alzheimer’s disease, immune dysfunction, cataracts, and mac-
ular degeneration. Those who want to live a longer, healthier life.

derived (phyto) antioxidants. Most health problems are either direct-
ly or indirectly related to oxidative (free-radical) damage. While vita-
mins and minerals (vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium, for example)
are antioxidants, it is now recognized that phytoantioxidants, rich in
a broad spectrum of flavonoids, polyphenols, anthocyanidins, etc are
the most powerful.

Berry 4:1, Mangosteen Extract, Goji Berry Extract, Pomegranate

Omega-3 Oils Improves Health
The results from this study published in the
Journal of Functional Foods; November,
2014, indicate a health benefit from fish oil
supplementation. But what does this really
mean?
First, let’s look at the report:
“Lipids store energy in the body, but oxida-
tion can degrade these fat-like molecules,
increasing chances for health problems. In
this study, 160 healthy adults took 3 or 6
grams of salmon oil along with a multivita-
min, or 6 grams of salmon oil alone, per day.
One gram of salmon oil provided 80 mg
each of EPA and DHA. After 16 weeks, while
there was no change in the 3-gram group,
both 6-gram salmon oil groups had signifi-
cantly lower levels of oxidized lipid byprod-
ucts. As signs of oxidation decreased, polyun-
saturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels in red
blood cells increased, suggesting salmon oil
may help preserve health.”
There were actually three groups of adults
in the study. One group supplemented with
3 grams of salmon oil along with a multivita-
min. Another group supplemented with 6
grams of solmon oil, again, with a miltivita-
min. The third group also took 6 grams of
salmon oil, but without a multivitamin.
So it can be said we are looking at two
things--first, the effect, if any, of salmon oil
supplementation and the effect of different
dosages, and, second, the effect of a multivit-
amin supplement in combination with
salmon oil.
The term “salmon oil,” in this context is
meaningless without some indication of the
EPA and DHA (omega-3) content of the oil.
Fortunately, this information was provided.
The daily intake of EPA/DHA in the 3 gram
per day group was, in fact, 480 mg and the
intake of EPA/DHA in the six gram groups
was 960 mg per day.
The first conclusion would be that the ben-
efits of fish oil, or omega-3 fatty acids is dose
dependent. Benefit was seen at the higher
does, but not at the lower dose.
This is important, because we have access
to a variety of fish oil and omega-3 products,
with varying potencies. It should be noted
that the amount of EPA/DHA in the higher,
six gram dose in the study was noticeable
lower that a standard two softgel dose of an
EPA/DHA concentrate such as Nordic
Natural’s Ultimate Omega product.
(Two softgels of Ultimate Omega, approxi-
mately two grams of oil, provides 1100 mg of
EPA/DHA or 1280 mg of total Omega-3 fatty
acids.)
It would be very informative, now, it the
authors compared the results of two grams of
EPA/DHA concentrate versus six grams of
“salmon oil.”
What about the question of why the “mul-
tivitamin” seemed to have no effect? Well,
without more information on the nature of
that “multivitamin” it is impossible to draw
any conclusions. I tried to find the original
article, but could not no locate it. If anyone
can help me on this, please contact me.

Addendum: At the deadline for submitting
this publication to the printer, I was still
unable to obtain the full article. I did learn
that there was a fourth experimental group, a
placebo group.
It should also be pointed out that the ben-
efits observed from the higher dose fish oil
supplementation was characterized by a
reduction in oxidative stress. Somewhat sur-
prisingly, there was not a similar anti-inflam-
matory marker benefit.
As I mentioned earlier, not knowing more
about the “multivitamin” used in the study
makes it impossible to draw any conclusions
about that.
This is interesting, because the title of the
paper, in the “in press,corrected proof,” says
“Fish oil and multivitamin supplementation
reduces oxidative stress by not inflammation
in healthy older adults: A randomised con-
trolled trial.” Odd that they should say that
when the abstract clearly states “Relative to
placebo, both 6 g salmon oil groups dis-
played significantly lower F2-isoprostane lev-
els at endpoint. . . .”
