It is not possible to make a direct dose comparison to “160 mg liposterolic extract.” Clinical and traditional evidence, however, would suggest the recommended 60 drop dosage, above, is equivalent to the 160 ml liposterolic dose. *Saw Palmeto contains several types of active compounds: sterols (such as beta-sitosterol), flavonoids (such as Isoquercitrin), water soluble polysaccharides, and fatty oils. This combination of botanicals exert antiandrogenic, antiestrogenic and antiinflammatory effects, all of which contribute to its action agains BPH. Ethanolic (alcohol) extracts contain all of the above. For this reason, many prefer a full spectrum extract.

Silver Colloid Complex A combination containing Colloidal Silver 15ppm, Olive Leaf, and Wild Oregano Oil 1 fl oz - Product Code: 56972 1 fl oz Spray - Product Code: 57021 Silver Colloid 15 - 4 fl oz - Product Code: 557039 Ingredients: Phyto-Tech™ Silver Colloid Complex contains the following: Colloidal silver 15ppm, Olive Leaf, Wild Oregano Oil (70% Carvacrol), Deionized Water, Pure Grain Alcohol, Non-GMO Soy Lecithin. There is an ongoing and unresolved debate over whether colloidal or ionic silver particles are more effective at killing pathogens. Studies show both as begin effective for the conditions discussed here. At the same time, there is some debate over whether or not the marketing claims for Colloidal Silver are overly enthusiastic. Silver Colloid Complex addressed both of these concerns. It employs a combination of both colloidal and ionic particles with a size of 15 ppm. A small particle size is important for the body to be able to absorb and circulate. With particle sizes larger than 30 ppm, a condition called argyria can occur. Argyria causes a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin, other organs, deep tissues, nails and gums. In addition, Silver Colloid Complex is combined with Olive Leaf and Oregano Oil for added immune power. Olive Leaf is known for its effectiveness in fighting infections and supporting overall immunity. The key active ingredients of Olive Leaf are the iridoide monoterpenes or oleuropein. It is a powerful anti-microbial for bacteria and viral infections. Oleuropein is converted into elenoic acid in the body which may prevent viruses and bacteria from replicating. Oregano Oil is an anti-microbial that has an immediate impact on acute germ inundation. It is a broad spectrum and powerful. Research has found the phenol Carvacrol to be the active compound in Oregano Oil that gives it its powerful ability to kill bacteria, fungus, candida, and parasites. Phyto-Tech™ Silver Colloid Complex can be used on a daily basis as a preventative against illness, or it can be used once one is ill to support the body and speed healing. It is a broad- spectrum anti-microbial that can be taken internally for colds, flu, coughs, candidiasis, and parasites.

People in low- and middle- income countries often have low levels of vitamin C, which doctors believe may increase chances for disease. In what may be the first study of its kind, doctors measured vitamin C levels in 948 men and women, aged 53 to 84, in Linxian, China. After an average of 16 years of follow-up, compared to those with the lowest levels, those with the highest levels of vitamin C were 25 percent less likely to have died from any cause. Good vitamin C levels reduced chances of dying from stroke or cancer by 28 percent, and by 35 percent for heart disease. Those with normal levels of vitamin C-at or above 28 micromoles per liter of blood-were 23 percent less likely to have died prematurely, and 38 percent less likely to have died from heart disease.

Muscles lose mass and strength with age. In this study, 42 people, aged 65 to 82, took a placebo or 12 mg of astaxanthin, 10 mg of tocotrienol vitamin E, plus 6 mg of zinc per day for four months. During the first three months, participants took an exercise training program lasting 40 to 60 minutes per day, three times per week. Over the four-month study, while muscle strength did not improve for placebo, those in the supplement group saw a 14 percent increase in muscle strength. The supplement group also saw a 40 percent increase in endurance and an 8 percent increase in mobility.

Fiber in the diet stimulates the growth of good bacteria in the gut, such as the probiotic bifidobacteria, but most Americans do not get enough daily fiber. In this study, 51 healthy adults with inadequate fiber in the diet took a placebo or 15 grams or 25 grams of resistant maltodextrin fiber (Fibersol -2) per day, in alternating phases.* After three weeks, while there was no change during the placebo phase, those taking the 25-gram dose of fiber saw a 38 percent increase in fecal bifidobacteria probiotic counts. Participants in the high dose group also saw an average increase of 29 grams in the weight of waste compared to the start of the study. Discussing the findings, doctors said either dose of fiber (15g or 25g) was safe and brought participants above the daily requirement for fiber in the diet, and that adding resistant maltodextrin fiber to the diet appears to have significant health benefits.
