Page 72 The Willner Window Product Reference Catalog, Fall 2018 Since 1911 • Willner Chemists: The Nutritional Supplement Professionals through the liver will get cleaned out on an accelerated level. At the same time Liver Support will help to prevent the liver from degenerating by arresting liver necrosis and bringing down elevated liver enzymes if elevated. It is a specific for hepatitis C. Liver Support will decrease how the liver breaks down naturally occurring cortisone, thereby systemically decreasing inflammation. It will also decrease hepatic portal congestion that occurs from too much fat in the diet (Red Root) and thereby decrease sticky blood and lymph. It can help decrease hemorrhoids, pelvic congestion, fatty sticky stools and all the symptoms that result from thick blood. As a treatment for liver deficiency or liver stagnation, Liver Support can facilitate a healing on a constitutional level for an array of symptoms including, PMS, headaches, indigestion, hayfever, poor fat and protein digestion, fatigue or chronic fatigue syndrome. Leaky gut syndrome is a combination of events. Liver Support can help by increasing gut digestive acidity and antibacterial function to help remove some causative factors behind leaky gut syndrome. Contra-indications and Cautions: Pregnancy; Alcohol or drug addiction (be careful as an acute healing crisis can manifest); Do not use if already acutely detoxing, especially if acutely detoxing from addictions such as alcohol. Be careful if liver enzymes are elevated by going slowly. Aggressive detoxification and herbal liver stimulants may increase the rate of metabolic breakdown of some medications, especially those medications that are broken down in the liver. This can create an undesirable situation where medications are not working (i.e. beta blockers, anti- depressants) and detoxification would be contraindicated. One may need to adjust the dosage of such medications while working with their health care professional. Lobelia 1:2 Medically, Lobelia is known as a parasympathomimetic.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements S pecial cells in the retina of the eye, called cones, respond to colors in bright light. These cones can begin to fail-part of a group of eye diseases called retinitis pigmentosa (RP)-in adolescents and young adults, often leading to blindness by age 40. In this study, 80 children, average age nine, with different genetic types of retinitis pigmentosa, took age-adjusted doses of vitamin A less than or equal to 15,000 IU per day, or did not take vitamin A. Doctors followed up four to five years later and found children taking vitamin A had nearly 50 percent slower annual loss of cone function compared to those not taking vitamin A: 6.9 percent vs. 13.2 percent. Doctors said treating retinitis pigmentosa in childhood appears to have greater benefit than in adulthood, where other studies have found only a 17 percent slower annual loss of cone function for those taking vitamin A.

As we have pointed out over the years, there are times when supplemental vitamin A is more efficacious than its carotenoid precursor. This is important because due to somewhat misplaced fears, many supplement companies have replaced _all_ of the vitamin A in their supplements with beta-carotene. In Willvite, for example, 25% of the total vitamin A dose is provided by actual, preformed, vitamin A. During pregnancy, it is advisable to limit your daily intake of preformed vitamin A to less than 5-8,000 IU or as advised by your doctor. - Don Goldberg. Vitamin A Prevents Childhood Retinitis Pigmentosa Willner Chemists Product Recommendations by Don Goldberg For those who need more or additional vitamin A, not beta- carotene, it is available from various suppliers at Willner Chemists. One example is Solgar , with a dry vitamin A 5,000 IU tablet Product Code: 42595 Another example is vitamin A 10,000 IU, as the palmitate, in a softgel from Source Naturals Product Code: 45124 L ow levels of vitamin D cause muscles to atrophy and impair the ability to contract properly. In this study during the 2015 National Football League season, doctors studied 214 skilled position athletes, 78 percent of whom were African American. Vitamin D levels in the African American players averaged 29.5 nanograms per milliliter of blood (ng/mL) compared to white players at 34.0 ng/mL. During the season, 11 of the 13 players that missed a game due to injury had low vitamin D levels. Players with vitamin D levels below 32 ng/mL were 86 percent more likely than players with at least 32 ng/mL to have a lower extremity strain or core muscle injury, and were also three times as likely to pull a hamstring muscle. Doctors said regularly screening levels and supplementing with vitamin D could help prevent injury not only in professional athletes, but in the general population, 40 percent of which may be deficient in vitamin D. Reference: Arthroscopy Journal; April, 2018, Vol. 34, 1280-5 In the past, most vitamin supplements contained no more than 400 IU of vitamin D. Higher levels were reserved for “prenatal” supplements. No more. Because of the increased recognition of vitamin D’s health benefits and widespread deficiency, the recommended daily intake is twice that, or more. Most physicians are including vitamin D status as part of routine blood screening. When Willner Chemists last reformulated the multivitamin Willvite, the amount of vitaminn D was increased from 400 IU to 800 IU.
