Page 87 Since 1911 • Willner Chemists: The Nutritional Supplement Professionals enhances the effects of these neurotransmitters on the brain and improves cognitive functions (thinking, analyzing, evaluating, calculating and planning), learning, attention span, and memory and work productivity. Rhodiola also relieves fatigue and normalizes mood in depressed individuals, and has antioxidant properties that help protect the nervous system from oxidative damage. By stimulating cognitive function, improving resistance to stress and fighting free radicals, Rhodiola can have immediate effects on cognitive function and memory and can also provide long- term support to help preserve future brain functions. A study involving 56 healthy male and female physicians working the night shift (age 24-35) were given 170 mg of Rhodiola extract for 6 weeks. Their mental performance was evaluated using tests to determine speed of visual and auditory perception, attention capacity, and short-term memory. A significant improvement in mental performance tests was observed in the treatment group during the first two-week period. Another double-blind, placebo controlled study involving 60 foreign students at a Russian high school showed that supplementation by the students with Rhodiola resulted in a decrease of mental fatigue and situational anxiety and an increase in physical work capacity, coordination, kinesthetic sensitivity, and general well-being. For athletes or anyone seeking to enhance physical performance, Rhodiola has been shown to improve strength, endurance, cardiovascular measures, coordination and recovery time. In one study, 42 master level competitive skiers were given either Rhodiola rosea extract or placebo 30- 60 minutes before a 20 km race on skies that involved carrying a rifle and shooting targets at stops. The athletes receiving Rhodiola showed a significant increase in shooting accuracy, less arm tremor, better coordination, and their heart rates returned to normal more quickly. Rhodiola has also been found to have cardio protective and anticancer benefits and can increase fertility in both men and women. In 1986 it was discovered that the chemical composition that sets Rhodiola rosea apart from other species of Rhodiola are three cinnamyl alchohol-vicianosides identified as rosavin, rosin and rosarin. The term rosavins is used to include all three of these chemical compounds. Rosavins are known as the marker compound that differentiates true Rhodiola rosea extract from other Rhodiola species.

Saw Palmetto Berry 1:3 Perhaps the most researched, most effective herb for treating an enlarged prostate (BPH). Liquid - 1 fl oz - Product Code: 57006 60 Liquid Veggie Caps - Product Code: 67450 Who might benefit from this herbal supplement? • Men with an enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Ingredients: Phyto-Tech™ Saw Palmetto Berry 1:3 contains Certified Organic Saw Palmetto Berries (Serenoa repens), Pure Grain Alcohol, Deionized Water. Each 30 drops contains 333 mg.

Saw Palmetto is the well known herb for swollen or enlarged prostate, commonly called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Symptoms of BPH range from difficult urination, dull ache, impotence, difficulty maintaining an erection, waking to urinate, urgency to urinate and precancerous blood chemistry such as elevated PSA’s. It is thought that Saw Palmetto inhibits dihydrotestosterone, the compound that causes prostate cells to multiply excessively. * Many herbalists consider Saw Palmetto to be a valuable male tonic to help maintain prostate health as men age. Prostate inflammation is common in men over 50, especially those with a diet high in animal products and trans fatty acids. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. Prostate cancer is the male equivalent to uterine and ovarian cancer in women. Some believe that chronic BPH is a precursor to prostate cancer in some men. Saw Palmetto can be used as a preventative mens’ tonic herb to help avoid the swelling in the first place. If one has BPH already, Saw Palmetto can reduce the inflammation to normalize the prostate. . . . continued on page 88 Important Notice: The information given here is designed to help you make informed decisions about your health, and the proper use of dietary supplements.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements Alpha Lipoic Acid Reduced Glucose and Triglycerides in Gestational Diabetes G ood vision depends on the carotenoids: lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin to protect the macula of the eye from damaging light rays. When these pigments are low, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can occur. Children of parents with AMD are 45 percent more likely than others to also develop AMD. In this study, 130 healthy offspring of AMD parents participated, with doctors measuring carotenoids at the center of the macula—the fovea, which is the area responsible for sharp central vision, and where carotenoid concentrations must be high. Forty-one percent had low foveal carotenoid levels and thinner foveas than those with good macular carotenoid levels.

In this study, 60 pregnant women, aged 30 to 32, diagnosed with gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, took a placebo or 100 mg of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) per day. After eight weeks, fasting glucose levels declined to 84 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) from 101 for ALA, and to 95 from 100 for placebo, with 70 to 100 the normal range. Long-term average glucose (A1C) improved more for ALA than placebo, and triglycerides decreased for ALA while increasing for placebo. Doctors measured the ratio of triglycerides to HDL (the good) cholesterol, a measure that predicts heart disease and diabetes, which improved for ALA, but not for placebo.
