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)

antioxidants are those found in plants. This

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.

associated with aging, including cancer, cardiovascular
disease, cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, immune
dysfunction, cataracts, and macular degeneration.

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.

mega-3 supplementation has grown
complicated. Perhaps this is an
inevitable result of success. You are faced with
a daunting array of products fish oil, EPA,
DHA, Krill Oill, etc. There is some debate as
to exactly what health conditions benefit from
fish oil, or omega-3 supplementation.
Triglycerides or cholesterol, for example. . . or
both? What is most important, however, is the
fact that there are many potential benefits to
increased fish and fish oil (omega-3)
consumption, with few if any downsides. The
following studies provide a few examples of
the over-all benefits of omega-3
supplementation.
In one recent long-term study, doctors
tracked the vitamins and supplements in
22,035 men and women, aged 39 to 79, and
followed up for 22 years.
Overall, compared to those who did not
take any supplements, those who took
omega-3 supplements were 26 percent less
likely to die from coronary heart disease
(CHD).
Doctors also measured those whose only
supplement was omega-3, and found they
were 17 percent less likely to die from CHD
compared to those who took no supplements
at all.
In a final finding, chances of surviving CHD
were greater in those who consistently took
omega-3, and in those who began taking
omega-3 during the study period, but the
survival benefit disappeared in those who
stopped taking omega-3.

Omega-3 Supplements Reduce Coronary Heart Disease
This is significant, as it highlights the fact
that even though we may not know exactly
how it does what it does, it does it! Safely
and inexpensively.
In another recent study, this favorable
benefit to risk ratio is further highlighted.
In this study, the goal was to examine the
efficacy and safety of adding omega-3 fatty
acids to statin therapy (rosuvastatin) in
patients with elevatred triglycerides that
did not respond to the statin treatment.
The study was multicenter, randomized,
double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
After a 4-week run-in period of
rosuvastatin treatment, the patients who
had residual hypertriglyceridemia were
randomized to receive rosuvastatin 20
mg/d plus omega-3 fatty acids 4 g/d
(ROSUMEGA group) or rosuvastatin 20
mg/d (rosuvastatin group) with a 1:1 ratio
and were prescribed each medication for 8
weeks.
Here is what they found. A total of 201
patients were analyzed (mean [SD] age,
58.1 [10.7] years; 62.7% male). After 8
weeks of treatment, the percentage change
from baseline in triglycerides (TGs) and
non HDL-C was significantly greater in the
ROSUMEGA group than in the rosuvastatin
group (TGs: -26.3% vs -11.4%, P < 0.001;
non HDL-C: -10.7% vs -2.2%, P = 0.001).
In the linear regression analysis, the lipid-
lowering effect of omega-3 fatty acids was
greater when baseline TG or non-HDL-C
levels were high and body mass index was
low. The incidence of adverse events was
not significantly different between the 2
groups.
Implications: In patients with residual
hypertriglyceridemia despite statin
treatment, a combination of omega-3 fatty
acids and rosuvastatin produced a greater
reduction of TGs and non-HDL-C than
rosuvastatin alone.
