NATURE'S SUNSHINE SUPER OMEGA 3 EPA (60) 15% OFF (INTERNET ONLY) $16.95
[Circulatory]. Omega-3 fatty acids are one of four basic fats that the body derives from foods. While many of the other fats are harmful, omega-3s benefit the body and are especially good for the heart. Nature's Sunshine Super Omega-3 EPA is a source of two fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. The body uses omega-3 fatty acids as one of the primary components of cell membranes. Omega-3s are also beneficial to the structural system and to the skin. Nature's Sunshine Super Omega-3 EPA softgels contain approximately 1000 mg fish oil, with a ratio of 33:16 EPA to DHA (380 mg EPA, 190 mg DHA) per softgel. Nature's Sunshine also includes lemon to significantly reduce the aftertaste from fish oil and to reduce gas.

Nature's Sunshine Vitamin A & D [Vital Nutrition]. Vitamin A was the first vitamin to be discovered. It is essential in maintaining good vision and promoting normal growth. It occurs in animal tissues as retinol but in plants as carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. This vitamin is necessary for the health of epithelial cells and the immune system. It is also required for the digestion of protein. It is essential for lactation, reproduction and the formation of steroid hormones. It is used to form the cells lining the digestive, respiratory, reproductive and urinary tracts and in all tissue linings of the body. It is also vital for healthy skin and is a famous antioxidant. It is best absorbed when taken with oil or fat. Each Nature's Sunshine capsule contains 10,000 IU of vitamin A derived from fish oils, or 200 percent of the Daily Value.
Vitamin D works synergistically with vitamin A. It plays a role in absorbing and regulating calcium and phosphorus. This vitamin helps the body synthesize protein and helps build strong bones, teeth and skin. It is vital to the health of the nervous system and kidneys. It can be derived from the sun’s action on oils secreted and reabsorbed by the skin. But if skin is tan or older, it is less capable of producing vitamin D. Each capsule of Nature's Sunshine Vitamin A & D contains 400 IU of vitamin D, which is 100 percent of the Daily Value.|||114235044734291065|||Natures Sunshine Weekly Specials3/14/2006 07:00:00 AM|||Nicole Bandes||| Dr. Mercola has been a long time proponate and well respected advocate of healthy living and true health care (most of us buy sick care from insurance companies).

Fish-Free Fatty Acids
Natures Sunshine Flax Seed Oil with Lignans [Circulatory, Immune]. Several scientific studies show that consumption of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) can benefit the heart. Flax Seed Oil is a rich source of these EFAs. It also contains lignans—substances known to stimulate immune activity—and linoleic acid, another essential fatty acid. These two fatty acids are termed “essential” because the body cannot manufacture them. EFAs are precursors to prostaglandins.
Until recently, experts believed the best sources of omega-3 were fish oils. While fish oils are a good source, flax seed oil contains twice as much omega-3 essential fatty acids as fish oil products, without the fishy aftertaste. Each softgel capsule contains omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids plus lignans.
Take 1–2 softgels with a meal three times daily.
Benefits:
• Aids in the construction of healthy cell walls.
• Keeps saturated fats mobile in the bloodstream.
• Maintains already-normal stickiness of blood platelets.

Each capsule contains 450 mg hawthorn berries.|||114106427790192863|||Natures Sunshine Weekly Specials2/23/2006 05:17:00 PM|||Nicole Bandes||| The recommended daily allowance (RDA) levels for vitamin B12 should be increased by 500 per cent, according to Danish researchers - a recommendation which, if taken up, could lead to reformulation of multivitamins that contain small quantities.The current RDA in Europe is only 1 micrograms for adults, while the US dietary reference intake (DRI) is 2.4 micrograms. In order to correct all vitamin B12-related variables a RDA of 6 micrograms is needed, according to research published in the January 2006 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Vol. 83, pp. 52-58).
Vitamin B12, found in meat, dairy products and eggs, is essential for life, working with folate in the production of red blood cells, as well as helping the body in the use of fatty acids and certain amino acids. “When establishing the RDA, a major concern is to ensure the minimum of the vitamin required to avoid the risk of developing vitamin deficiency,” wrote lead researcher Vakur Bor. The current study calculated dietary and supplemental intake of vitamin B12 for 98 post-menopausal women with an average age of 57 using three-day diet records, a method that does not rely heavily on memory and widely believed to give the most valid estimated of intake.

Nature's Sunshine's Liquid B12 Complete provides 1000 mcg of B12; Niacin 10 mg; B6 1.0 mg, 50; Vitamin B2 (as Riboflavin) 0.85 mg; and Vitamin B1 (as Thiamine) 0.75 mg. RDA is the government's recommendations for bare minimum amounts to prevent extreme deficiency diseases such as rickets and scurvy. What the RDA neglects to consider is the non-life threatening health concerns that arise from vitamin deficiencies.

Compounds isolated from licorice root may help prevent cavities, according to researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles. In test tube studies, the scientists showed that an extract from a plant root that is used to make licorice candy and other products contains at least two compounds that appear to be potent inhibitors of Streptococcus mutans, a major cause of dental caries. Their study is scheduled to appear in the Feb. 24 print version of the Journal of Natural Products, a monthly peer-reviewed joint publication of the American Chemical Society and the American Society of Pharmacognosy. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/01/060123163400.htm

The Pritikin diet, rich in high fiber, whole grains, vegetables and fruit, has been shown to decrease blood pressure and oxidative stress, and to increase levels of nitric oxide.
The effect of this kind of diet can be very dramatic. Research shows that at least 50 percent of people going through the three-week, high-fiber, low-fat diet program are no longer clinically defined as diabetic after three weeks.
The diet does not reverse damage such as arterial plaque, at least not in the short term. It may be that long-term adherence to the diet may reverse atherosclerosis.
Diabetes currently affects over 200 million people worldwide, and 2.5 to 15 percent of annual health budgets are spent on diabetes-related illnesses.
