Omega-3’s Shown to Extend Life
in Women!
I
n the largest study of omega-3s and
longevity, doctors measured EPA and DHA
levels in 6,501 women, aged 65 to 80 at the
start of the study, and followed up for 15
years.
The doctors used what they call the
"omega-3 index," which measures the total
concentration of EPA and DHA in red blood
cells. After accounting for differences in
lifestyle, including physical actvity, smoking,
and history of heart and circulatory disease,
women with the highest levels of omega-3
were 20 percent less likely to have died from
any cause compared to women with the
lowest omega-3 levels.
How Much Supplementation is
Needed to Move from the
Lowest Level to the Highest?
Doctors estimated that it takes a combined
total of 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA per day to
raise omega-3 levels from the lowest in the
study-3.6 percent-to the highest, 7.1 percent.

Properties:
Traditionaly, this combination of herbs can be thought to
exert the following properties: Adaptogen, Adrenal Tonic,
Immuno-Modulating, Mood Enhancing, Anti-Depressant
Indications:
Adrenal Adaptogen Complex is a balancing adaptogenic
formula indicated for those who are overworked,
overstressed, and find themselves feeling tired, overwhelmed
and burnt-out most or all of the time. It is also helpful for
those who haven’t hit the wall yet, but live fast-paced, high-
stress lifestyles and want to avoid breakdown and burnout.
Adrenal Adaptogen Complex will increase the body’s
resistance to physical, mental, and environmental stress, and
help to defend against diseases and disorders caused by
overstress. The herbs used in the formula are highly
adaptogenic and work synergistically to moderate the stress
response, not by blocking it altogether but by balancing it
out. In other words, they enable the body to respond more
appropriately to stress without over-exaggerating the
response. This prevents adrenal overstimulation and protects
the adrenals from breakdown and exhaustion. Adaptogens
act positively on glucose metabolism as they stimulate the
liver to convert glycogen to glucose, enhance entry of glucose
into the cell, and enhance utilization of glucose within cells.
Regular use of Adrenal Adaptogen Complex will help
normalize stress hormone levels, lessening ones
predisposition to stress, decrease over-reactions during the
stress response, and provide protection against the effects of
long-term stress. In addition, energy and vitality will be
restored, and mood and emotional well-being will improve.
Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) has been used in
Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years and is
indicated for those with fatigue, physical weakness,
compromised immunity, and poor work capacity and
concentration. Pharmacologically, Eleuthero tonifies, displays
anti-stress activity, increases lymphocyte count, and has an
immunomodulatory effect on the cellular immune system.
Studies show that Eleuthero increases endurance, reduces the
alarm phase of the stress response, prevents stress-induced
illness and disease, supports adrenal function, and enhances
T-cell activation and immune system function. Formerly
known in the U.S. as Siberian Ginseng, Eleuthero is not a true
ginseng, but it does belong to the same family of plants.
Compared to true ginseng, Eleuthero is non-heating and
milder in its stimulatory effects.
Ashwagandha is used preventively to avoid burnout and
breakdown and restoratively to help strengthen those who
are already mentally and/or physically depleted. It has
positive effects on chronic fatigue syndrome, depression,
debility, and recovery from wasting diseases. Ashwagandha is
one of the most important herbs of Ayurveda and is known as
“Ayurvedic” Ginseng. It is indicated for similar conditions as
Ginseng, but it is not heating, Yang, or stimulating like
Ginseng. Many scientific studies have been conducted that
support Ashwagandha’s adaptogenic and anti-stress activity.
It’s been found to be effective at increasing physical
endurance, preventing gastric ulcers brought on by stress, and
reducing the rise of stress hormone levels in the blood.
Ashwagandha also has cognitive effects and can increase
intellect and memory. Several studies indicate it slows stops
and reverses neuritic atrophy and synaptic loss, and thus has
been used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s.
Ashwagandha also displays GABA-mimetic, anxiolytic and
anti-depressant properties and can help stabilize mood in
those with anxiety and depression.
American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is native to North
America and was used in traditional indigenous medicine by
tribes such as the Cherokee, Creek, Iroquois, Menominee,
