Chlorella Supplementation Improves Cholesterol,
Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure
D
octors in this study reviewed 19
placebo-controlled trials of chlorella
covering male and female adults of varying
health status. The studies varied in dosage
and length, with doctors finding studies
lasting eight weeks or more, using doses of
chlorella higher than 4 grams per day, having
the most significant benefits.
On average overall, those taking chlorella
saw decreases in total cholesterol of 9.09 mg
per deciliter of blood (mg/dL); LDL
cholesterol lower by 8.32 mg/dL; fasting
blood sugar levels decrease by 4.23 mg/dL;
systolic blood pressure down by 4.51 mmHg,
and diastolic blood pressure decrease by 1.64
mmHg.
Commenting on the findings, doctors said
chlorella was more effective in unhealthy
subjects than in healthy ones for improving
blood pressure and total cholesterol.

Throat Spray
A soothing, healing spray for sore and irritated
throats.
1 fl oz - Alcohol Free Spray - Product Code: 56957
Who might benefit from this herbal supplement?
• Those with sore and irritated throats due to sickness or
over-use; those whose throats are raw and sore from
lecturing, yelling, singing, excessive talking, dry air, etc; those
with sore throats due to cold or flu.
Ingredients:
Phyto-Tech™ Throat Spray contains the following: Fresh Osha
Root, Echinacea angustifolia Root, Propolis, Thyme Herb,
Fresh Spilanthes Flower, Fresh Ginger Root, Licorice Root,
Aloe Vera, Vegetable Glycerin, Deionized Water, Organic
Honey, Natural Flavors (Raspberry and Mint)
Throat Spray can be used as a preventive measure, i.e. before
lecturing, flying on airplanes, contact with sick people, etc, or
at the first onset of a respiratory illness.
For colds and flu, Throat Spray is a powerful and immediate
lung white blood cell stimulant (Osha, Propolis). Phlegm is
loosened with Licorice and the lungs are opened with Osha.
Thyme is specific for throat infections while Propolis coats
and helps create an immune barrier. General immunity is
stimulated with Echinacea and Spilanthes. Both of those
herbs also increase saliva, which pH corrects the mouth and
throat to prevent bacteria penetration. As long as saliva and
healthy mucus cover the throat, microorganisms such as Strep
and influenza will have a harder time penetrating tissue and
moving into the body. Licorice, Aloe Vera and honey help to
coat mucosal tissue like the throat as demulcents. Ginger
increases blood supply to the respiratory tract to bring in
innate immunity and help resolve an infection.
Throat Spray may be helpful to athletes, asthmatic and those
exposed to high altitudes as Osha will increase oxygen
uptake. It is great for high altitude sports. Osha brings blood
into the capillaries of the lungs, thus facilitating oxygen
uptake via hemoglobin.

Indications:
Thyroid Complex is a complex formula that provides
nutritional support for the thyroid gland, stimulates hormone
production, and restores normal metabolic balance in the
body. The thyroid hormones are responsible for the body’s
use of energy, known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). They
are also critical for cell respiration and the production of ATP
energy, and are required for normal growth and
development, protein synthesis and energy metabolism.
While a blood test can be used to test for low thyroid activity,
thyroid tests are commonly normal yet one still has the
symptoms of low thyroid. These symptoms include fatigue,
running cooler than others (feeling cooler in your body), cold
hands and/or feet, sluggish bowels, and slow digestion.
The amino acid L-tyrosine is a precursor to the thyroid
hormone Thyroxine (T4) and helps stimulate the thyroid
gland. Zinc is needed to convert T4 into the active hormone
Triiodothyronine (T3) and low levels of zinc have been shown
to contribute to hypothyroidism. The Ayurvedic herbs
Ashwagandha, Gotu Kola and Bacopa all have stimulating
effects on the thyroid and support the body’s production of
thyroid hormones. Ashwagandha is restorative and
rejuvenating for those experiencing burn-out, weakness, and
fatigue. It’s known as the “Ayurvedic” Ginseng and can give
additional Chi or energy and help one adapt to stress. Gotu
Kola stimulates the thyroid and physical and mental energy
and will help with fatigue, confusion, and general lethargy.
Bacopa enhances memory, learning and concentration while
reducing anxiety and stress.
The trace mineral Iodine is required for the production of the
thyroid hormones that regulate the metabolic energy of the
body and set the basal metabolic rate (BMR). Most of the
iodine in the body is concentrated in the thyroid. Iodine must
be obtained regularly from the diet, as the body does not
store the mineral and eliminates it quickly. Potassium iodide
is a source of iodine that can be easily taken up by the
thyroid gland.
Kelp and Bladderwrack are forms of algae that are rich in
iodine and other important vitamins and minerals including
calcium, magnesium, potassium, niacin, riboflavin, and
choline. They also contains algin, a polysaccharide which has
been used to help pull out intestinal toxins and heavy metals.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is involved in metabolism and
is essential for the body to utilize carbohydrates, proteins,
