Willner Chemists: The Nutritional Supplement Professionals
Who would benefit from this supplement?
• Those suffering from allergic rhinitis, hay fever, asthma, and
sinus congestion.
Ingredients:
Phyto-Tech™ Allergy Complex contains the following herbs:
Nettle Leaf, Eyebright Herb, Yerba Santa Leaf, Turmeric Root,
Lobelia Herb, Ambrosia Herb.
Dosage: Preventative:
Begin use 2-4 weeks before the onset of the allergy season by
taking Allergy Complex 2 times per day. This will increase
resistance to pollens before they even start. Keep taking
throughout the allergy season. Results can vary from a
percentage decrease in reactivity to complete eradication of
symptoms.
Complimentary Formulas:
• Many herbalists feel that allergies are a symptom of liver
deficiency, and recommend taking Phyto-Tech™ Liver
Support along with Allergy Complex.
• Eyebright, Nettle and Ambrosia are anti-histamine in
action. Yerba Santa helps decongest. Tumeric treats liver
deficiency which almost all hay fever is a symptom of. By
treating the underlying constitutional predisposition, Phyto-
Tech™ Allergy Complex can work deeper.
(Note: Ambrosia is also known as ragweed. The leaf extract
inhibits histamines caused by the pollen of this plant. One is
not allergic to the leaf)

Antiox Phyto Blend
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.
1 fl oz - Product Code: 57551
Who might benefit from this supplement?
• Anyone needing antioxidant protection as well as those
looking for enhanced immunity, those with cardiovascular
problems, stress, and concerns about environmental
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, environmental 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 impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, immune
dysfunction, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
• Those who want to live a longer, healthier life.
Phyto-Tech™ Antiox Phyto Blend is a mixture of powerful
plant-derived (phyto) antioxidants. Most health problems are
either directly or indirectly related to oxidative (free-radical)
damage. While vitamins 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.

shwagandha is a traditional Ayurvedic
medicine that helps the body maintain
metabolic balance. It has been shown to be
of value in many areas: Anxiety, Insomnia,
Infertility, Sexual Function, Cognitive
Performance, Physical Performance and
Stamina, Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic
Properties, Immune Function, etc.
New studies appear on a regular basis. It
seems that “Anti-Aging” can be added to the
above listing. One of the primary factors in
cell aging is the length of telomeres; the
protective end-caps on each strand of DNA.
Each time the cell reproduces, telomeres
shorten, eventually leading to improper
reproduction and cell death.
Telomerase is the naturally occurring
protein that slows or stops telomere
shortening, an anti-aging effect. In the lab,
doctors exposed human cells to ashwagandha
root extract and saw a 45 percent increase in
telomerase activity.
(Reference 2: Scientific Research; 2016, Vol.
7, No. 4)
In addition, another recent study seems to
confirm the beneficial action of Ashwagandha
on mental function. It significantly improved
cognitive performance and reaction times
compared to placebo.
(Pingali, Pharmacognosy Res 2014).
In this study, among men and women with
mild cognitive impairment (average age of 50)
they found that taking 300 mg of
ashwagandha root extract twice daily
(providing a total daily dose of 600 mg
containing 30 mg of withanolides) for 8
weeks significantly improved many aspects of
immediate and general memory, executive
function, sustained attention, and information
processing speed compared to placebo
(which showed lesser improvements). Most
improvements were not significant relative to
placebo after 4 weeks and required 8 weeks.
There was no significant effect on visuospatial
processing, i.e., drawing images from
memory and comparing rotated images
(Choudhary, J Diet Supp, 2017)
Ashwagandha, Anti-Aging and Cognitive
Performance
I
n this study, 60 adults with metabolic
syndrome who were overweight or obese,
or who had type 2 diabetes, took a placebo
or 100 mg of CoQ10 per day. After eight
weeks, insulin levels had declined for CoQ10
while increasing for placebo. Insulin
resistance-when the body does not use
insulin efficiently to metabolize glucose-
decreased for CoQ10 while increasing for
placebo. And the cells responsible for
producing insulin functioned better in those
who took CoQ10. Total antioxidant capacity
in the CoQ10 group improved significantly
while the placebo group had declined.
Discussing the findings, doctors said
compared to placebo, people with metabolic
syndrome who took 100 mg of CoQ10 per
day had better insulin levels, less insulin
resistance, greater antioxidant capacity, and
fewer signs of chronic inflammation.
