Page 72 The Willner Window Product Reference Catalog, Winter 2019 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 Astaxanthin is one of the carotenoids, and is thought to have strong antioxidant properties. U ltraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun and other sources can damage the skin, reducing its biological barrier function. In a recent study, 23 healthy Japanese men and women, aged 30 to 59, took 4 mg of astaxanthin per day, or a placebo. At the beginning of the study, doctors tested participants' skin to determine the smallest amount of UVR that would induce reddening, yet still fully recover within 24 hours. After nine weeks, skin in the astaxanthin group could be exposed to UVR longer without reddening, compared to placebo. Those taking astaxanthin also retained more skin moisture in the area exposed to UVR. In areas not exposed to UVR, the astaxanthin group also saw improved skin texture compared to placebo. Reference: Nutrients; 2018, Vol. 10, No. 7, 817 In another study, the effect of supplemental collagen, hyaluronic acid and various antioxidants was tested. The skin loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid with age, creating wrinkles, sagging, discoloration, and dryness. In this study, 60 healthy men and women took a daily liquid collagen supplement, or a placebo. After 90 days, while the placebo group had not changed, those taking the collagen supplement saw skin elasticity increase by 7.5 percent, and skin texture improve. Participants reported being able to see and feel improvements to the skin. Discussing the findings, doctors said the bioactive peptides in collagen, plus other antioxidants, may help protect the skin from the effects of aging, and improve skin health.

Nutrients Protect Against Skin Damage Willner Chemists Product Recommendations by Arnie Gitomer Astaxanthin 4 mg. by Jarrow Product Number: 59891 Astaxanthin 4 mg. by NOW Product Number: 60039 Astaxanthin 4 mg., VEGAN by Healthy Origins Product Number: 66306 P eople with high cholesterol levels may take statin drugs to manage the condition, but some still have elevated levels of triglycerides, the most common type of blood fat. Doctors wanted to see if omega-3s could lower triglycerides in those with elevated levels who were taking statin drugs. Participants in the study took the statin drug rosuvastatin for four weeks. Then the 201 who still had elevated triglycerides continued on rosuvastatin alone, or added 4,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per day. After eight weeks, the omega-3 group saw a 26.3 percent drop in triglycerides, compared to 11.4 percent for rosuvastatin alone. To more accurately predict chances of heart disease, doctors are beginning to total the two types of "bad" cholesterol--LDL and VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein)--as a percentage of total cholesterol, excluding HDL, the "good" cholesterol. After the eight week study period, those in the omega-3 group saw a 10.7 percent decline in non- HDL cholesterol levels compared to a 2.2 percent drop for rosuvastatin alone. Discussing the findings, doctors said omega- 3s appeared to provide the greatest benefit in those whose triglyceride levels or non-HDL cholesterol levels were highest, and whose body mass index scores were low.
