Echinacea Triple 1:2.1 A blend of three forms of Echinacea, helpful to those with colds, flu, immune deficiency and infections. 1 fl oz - Product Code: 56994 1 fl oz Alcohol Free - Product Code: 57052 Who will benefit from this supplement? The indications for Phyto-Tech™ Echinacea Triple are basically the same for Echinacea. This product is designed for those who prefer a combination of the three different forms of Echinacea to maximize the efficacy and “diversify” some of the active constituents. Echinacea, of course, is best known as an immune builder for immune deficiency and for its ability to prevent or ameliorate an upcoming cold, flu or infection when used at the first sign of the condition. The larger doses shown below reflect this purpose. Echinacea is not thought to kill microbes by itself. Instead, it stimulates the immune system to do it. It supports the healthy innate immune response. This is why one does not need to be apprehensive about taking Echinacea in the presence of auto-immune disorders. Ingredients: Phyto-Tech™ Echinacea Triple contains fresh Echinacea angustifolia Root, fresh Echinacea purpurea flowers, dry Echinacea angustifolia root, fresh Ginger root, pure grain alcohol and purified water. Dosage: Acute: 3-5 droperfulls and up to 1 teaspoon (5-6 dropperfuls) every 2-3 hours when on the edge of illness. Long Term Tonic: 30-90 drops, 1-3 times per day or as needed, in juice or water. Elderberry Recent research shows this herb may be especially effective for those with influenza virus infections. 1 fl oz - Product Code: 57026 Who can benefit from this supplement? • Those who suffer from influenza and similar viral infections, as well as those with cardiovascular disease and vision problems. Elderberry is rich in flavonoids, anthocyanins and other phyto-antioxidants. Phyto-Tech™ Elderberry supplies one of the most effective herbs to use against the flu. Studies suggest this herb shortens the duration of flu symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, headache, sore throat, cough and body aches. Elderberry has proven to be effective agains numerous strains of influenza. Elderberry can be used during an active flu episode (combined, perhaps, with Oregano Oil, Echinacea- Goldenseal, or Phyto-Tech™ Immune Acute Complex). It can also be used as a preventative to avoid getting sick during the flu season. Elderberry 1:2 liquid extract is a very concentrated source of anthocyanins, the purple pigments that function as powerful antioxidants, along with the flavonoids quercetin and rutin, vitamin A and vitamin C. The extract can be taken on a long term basis to increase one’s resistance to illness and help rebuild a strong immune response. Elderberry also benefits the cardiovascular system. Those with poor night vision will be helped by Elderberry, as it is thought to help regenerate rhosopsin, the pigment in the retina that is responsible for both the formation of the photoreceptor cells . . . continued on page 42 Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements Important Notice: The information given here is designed to help you make informed decisions about your health, and the proper use of dietary supplements.

Healthy Pupil Constriction and Dilation E vidence is increasing that populating the gut with good bacteria after birth has a long-term programming effect on health and immunity. In this study, 149 infants under four months old received a placebo formula or a prebiotic mixture of inulin oligosaccharides. After six months, the prebiotic group showed higher total bifidobacterium counts, and higher proportions of bifidobacterium to total bacteria, compared to placebo. Stools in the prebiotic group were also softer, suggesting prebiotics had a beneficial effect on total daily amounts of crying. Infections also resolved more quickly in the prebiotic group. Discussing the results, doctors said inulin oligosaccharides were well-tolerated and beneficial to infant gut microbiota, and that the shorter duration of infections, in particular, suggest a possible interaction between healthy gut flora and immunity.

People on computers tend to blink less than while reading print, drying the eyes and contributing to strain. In this study, 32 healthy adults with video screen eye fatigue took a placebo or 120 mg of anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract powder per day. After six weeks, compared to placebo, those taking bilberry had smoother constriction and dilation of the pupils, clearer vision, less watery eyes, and less eye fatigue. Discussing the findings, doctors said one of the symptoms of video-screen eye strain is a decrease in pupil constriction and dilation. “Pupillary constriction increases the depth of focus and contributes to the expansion of the clear vision region,” doctors said, meaning smooth constriction increases the range of distance people can clearly see.
