Carlson Niacin Time – 500mg of Niacin with No Flush/ Time Release October 28, 2010 2 Comments
Carlson Niacin Time (500 mg)
Carlson Niacin Time (500 mg) – No flush/ time release is finally back in stock after several months from manufacturer.
Niacin is a type of B vitamin. It is water-soluble, which means it is not stored in the body. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means you need a continuous supply of such vitamins in your diet.
Niacin is involved in the proper metabolism of fat and fat-like substances such as cholesterol and often prescribed as a treatment for elevated total cholesterol, high trigylcerides and other types of lipid disorders. However, Niacin taken in a single 500mg dose often causes flushing or itching.
Carlson Niacin-Time contains niacin prepared by a patented method to minimize these unpleasant side effects. With many people there is absolutely no flush, and the amount needed is sometimes less than needed with other forms of Niacin. Each Niacin-Time tablet provides a gradual release of 500mg over a period of 5 to 7 hours for sustained absorption. See more details.
Fish Oil Benefits Patients with Early Heart Failure October 19, 2010 No Comments
Fish oil has significant benefits for those that suffer from early heart failure according to a new study presented at the annual meeting of the Heart Failure Society of America.
The study was led by Dr. Mihai Gheorghiade of Northwestern University in Chicago examined 93 patients experiencing early heart failure. These patients were given between 850 and 882mg of fish oil everyday for one year.
The patients were monitored through monthly checkups. It was found that patients who took fish oil showed improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction, exercise capacity and hospitalization for heart failure.
“Whether this intervention will have similar effects for patients with other etiologies, more advanced stages of heart failure, or for patients who are not on evidenced-based therapy remains unknown,” Gheorghiade explained in his presentation.
“I am hoping that further studies will be conducted to assess the effects of this potentially important therapy on left ventricular function and clinical outcomes in other patients.”

Fish Oil Benefits Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors August 30, 2010 No Comments
New Research to appear in Journal of Nutrition (September 2010) finds that fish oils and diets rich in omega-3 compounds can help improve the health of people with risk factors such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high cholesterol levels, and abdominal fat commonly known as metabolic syndrome which increases the risk of heart attack and diabetes.
The study examined the effects of placing 117 people with metabolic syndrome on four different diets (a diet high in saturated fat, a diet high in monounsaturated fat, a diet low in fat and high in complex carbs such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and a low-fat diet high in complex carbs that was supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids).
The researchers found that participants on those diets rich in monounsaturated fat or low-fat, high complex carbs and omega-3 fatty acids had lower triglycerides than those in the other two groups.
“It would be interesting to extend out studies beyond 12 weeks to confirm the longer-term effects of dietary fat interventions on cardiovascular risk factors in metabolic syndrome,” according to the researchers.

Fish Oil Enhances Green Tea Effects on Alzheimers Disease in Animal Studies July 30, 2010 No Comments
Fish oil, when combined with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)—a polyphenol and antioxidant found in green tea, may affect chemical processes in the brain associated with Alzheimers disease, according to a study published in Neuroscience Letters. This study, which used an animal (mouse) model of Alzheimers disease, builds on previous research linking the disease to peptides (amino acid chains) called beta-amyloids and laboratory studies suggesting that EGCG decreases memory problems and beta-amyloid deposits in mice.
Researchers from the University of South Florida divided Alzheimer’s disease-model mice into five feeding groups. During a period of 6 months, each group was fed one of five diets: fish oil only; high dose EGCG; low dose EGCG; low?dose EGCG and fish oil; or a regular diet (control). The researchers observed that low dose EGCG alone did not reduce the Alzheimer’s disease-related chemical processes in the brain. However, the mice fed the combination of fish oil and EGCG had a significant reduction in amyloid deposits that have been linked with Alzheimer’s disease.
Further research is necessary, however, to determine if the combination of fish oil and EGCG affects memory or cognition, and whether it might have potential as an option for people at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Super Fisol – Enteric Coated Fish Oil by Nature’s Way
Fish oil supplement intake was found to be associated with a lower risk for breast cancer according to a study published in the July issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
“Use of nonvitamin, nonmineral ’specialty’ supplements has increased substantially over recent decades,” write Theodore M. Brasky, from Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues. “Several supplements may have anti-inflammatory or anticancer properties. Additionally, supplements taken for symptoms of menopause have been associated with reduced risk of breast cancer in two case-control studies there have been no prospective studies of the association between the long-term use of these supplements and breast cancer risk.”
“[T]his is the first prospective study to report on the association of specialty supplements with breast cancer risk,” the study authors conclude. “Our finding of a reduced risk of breast cancer with use of fish oil warrants further study of this agent, focused particularly on timing of exposure and dose, as well as on mechanisms of action that might explain differences by tumor stage or histologic type.”
The study was funded by The National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute.

Nutrition for your Eyes – Veggies, Fruits, Fish and Supplements for Sharp Vision June 15, 2010 No Comments

Carlson Labs Vitamin A-C-E with Selenium and Zinc
Ultimate DHA Eye contains almost 800 mg DHA with Lutein and Zeaxanthin
We bring you some nutrition tips for healthy eyes based on an article by Evelyn Theiss, The Plain Dealer.
Good nutrition for eye health goes beyond carrots and their beta carotene, doctors now say, and the addition of some key nutrients can help avoid two leading causes of vision loss and blindness — age-related macular degeneration and cataracts — and aid conditions such as dry eyes.
The key nutrients include lutein (it helps with night vision), zeaxanthin (it protects the eyes from ultraviolet damage and prevents free-radical damage to the retina and lens), omega-3 oils (the DHA in them prevents retinal damage), zinc (good for preventing macular degeneration) and vitamin A (helps our night vision, but excessive doses can be toxic.)
Lutein, especially, is crucial when it comes to eye health as we age — it is present in the macula of the retina and helps us discern fine details. We are born with a certain amount, but since the body doesn’t produce it, the amount of lutein in your eyes depletes with age — so the only way to get it is by ingesting it.
Ideally, at least nine servings total of fruits and vegetables a day are recommended for your eyes and your general health, particularly green leafy vegetables.Yet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said less than 15 percent of the population consumes even five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
People who eat fish more than four times a week have a lower risk of macular degeneration than those who consume it less than three times a month. Omega-3 fatty acids are known to improve blood circulation to the eye.
Improving your nutrition is not necessarily easy. Take baby steps if you need to and consider taking supplements in case you decide to boost your totals using supplements.
The main nutrients shown to help you keep your eyes healthy as you age are those with the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin; essential fatty acids (omega-3s in particular); vitamins A, B, C and E; and zinc.
In the Age-Related Eye Disease Study, the National Eye Institute (of the National Institutes of Health) found that the combination of daily supplements to bring down the risk or progression of age-related macular degeneration is: 500 mg of vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E, 15 mg of beta carotene, 80 mg of zinc oxide and 2 mg of copper, also known as cupric acid. For the second ARED study now under way, the level of zinc has been cut back to 25 mg.
As always, it’s best to talk to your doctor for advice before starting a new regimen.
Heart Health Key Nutrients – Plant sterols, Omega-3, Red Yeast Rice and CoQ10 June 3, 2010 No Comments
Here are some tips to complement your omega-3 intake for healthy heart with additional key nutrients.
Phytosterols or Plant Sterols
Simply stated, phytosterols are the “fat” of plants. The major phytosterols found in nature are beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. The typical daily diet contains 100-300 mg of phytosterols.
At usual levels of consumption, phytosterols have little effect on blood cholesterol concentration. However, because phytosterols share structural similarities with cholesterol, they bind to sites in the intestines that would be used for cholesterol binding were they not blocked. Dietary consumption of phytosterols in the 1200 mg per dose range has been shown to reduce intestinal and biliary cholesterol absorption and helps to retain healthy cholesterol levels that are already within normal limits.
Red yeast rice and CoQ10
Combine the proven cardiovascular benefits of Omega-3 (at least 1 gm of DHA and EPA) with the lipid-metabolizing red yeast rice and the antioxidant power of CoQ10 to support healthy blood lipid levels, including cholesterol and triglyceride levels, in healthy individuals.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), a stable metabolite of DMSO, is a biologically active sulfur that supports healthy connective tissue.
Nature’s Way Hydraplenish is Biocell Collagen (Type II) naturally providing Hyaluronic Acid and Chondroitin with added MSM.
“Arthritis is a debilitating disease that profoundly impacts the lives of millions of Americans on a daily basis,” says John H. Klippel, M.D., president and CEO, Arthritis Foundation. The message from Arthritis Foundation for May which is the Arthritis Awareness Month is that “Moving is the best medicine“.
From an inflammation management perspective and support joint cartilage rebuilding and support, certain science based natural supplements may work for long term use compared to NSAID pain relief medications. However, please consult with your doctor before starting any supplementation program to make sure there are no interactions. The most common natural supplements include:
- Glucosamine and Chondroitin
- MSM which is a bioactive sulfur
- Collagen (Type II) that is predominant in cartilage
- Hyaluronic Acid (Joint Fluid)
- Omega-3 fish oil
- Green-Lipid-Mussel Extract
- Borage oil
These can help to manage inflammation and reduce debilitating pain. With pain relief comes the ability to keep moving and keep up good blood circulatory health which is so essential for arthritis management. Each person is unique and some combination of these supplements can help with pain relief in a synergistic manner. Having said this, we agree with the Arthritis Foundation that “Moving is the best medicine”. Supplements and pain relief medications play only a supporting role in keeping you physically active longer!
Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Pregnancy May 1, 2010 No Comments
Featured Products
Nordic Naturals Baby’s DHAAt no other time of a woman’s life is she more concerned about good nutrition than during pregnancy. As a practicing obstetrician, one of the commonest questions I am asked is what should a pregnant woman eat to make sure her baby gets off to the best start in life. Scientific research continues to expand our knowledge of nutrition in pregnancy, and perhaps the most important recent development in this field is the role played by omega-3 fatty acids in the development of a healthy baby.
Omega-3 fatty acids are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are indispensable for human growth and development, yet are not synthesized by humans. These must be obtained from the diet, specifically from either fish or flaxseed oil. However, a “normal” adult diet is severely deficient in these critical nutrients.1 This imbalance is primarily the result of an American diet, which consumes less fish, grass-fed meat, and free-ranging poultry than was consumed decades earlier. This deficiency in omega-3 intake is compounded by the fact that after a woman’s first pregnancy, her maternal stores become depleted, rarely returning to pre-pregnancy levels. Subsequent pregnancies continue this depletion.
This lack of an essential nutrient is important, as Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to be a critical component for both neurological and early visual development of the baby. With approximately 60% of the brain composed of lipids, these types of compounds make up almost 20% of the total brain fatty acids. Recently published research has confirmed that adding these nutrients to the diet of pregnant women can definitely have a positive effect on visual and cognitive function of the child, with effects measurable up to the age of four.
Omega-3 fatty acids may also have positive effects on the pregnancy itself. One of the most feared medical complications of pregnancy is pre-eclampsia, also known as toxemia. Pre-eclampsia, which complicates approximately 5-10% of all pregnancies, is a leading contributor to maternal mortality, preterm delivery, fetal growth retardation, and perinatal mortality. Women with lower storehouses of omega-3 fatty acids have much more risk of developing pre-eclampsia. Whether supplementation can decrease the risk of pre-eclampsia is currently under study.
An even more important benefit is the role of omega-3 fatty acids in preventing pre-term labor and delivery. Women with lower amounts of omega-3 fatty acids have a higher risk of preterm labor, and supplementation with this vital nutrient has been shown to decrease the risk of this often catastrophic pregnancy complication. Omega-3 fatty acids may also lower the risk of post-partum depression, as well as the well-known benefits for preventing heart disease.
Fortunately, there are now easy ways to supplement a pregnant woman’s diet with this essential nutrient. One might think that eating more fish would be a simple, natural way to get more omega-3. However, due to increased mercury pollution caused by coal burning power plants, the levels of mercury in fish are getting dangerously high. The FDA has issued advisories that limit the amount of fish that is safe for a pregnant woman to consume. Specifically, large “predator” type fish such as swordfish, (fresh) tuna, shark, and mackerel are not considered safe for pregnant women. Canned “light” tuna is OK in moderation. Mercury is a potent neural toxin, and may be responsible for cognitive delays and other types of brain damage. Developing babies are the most vulnerable to this type of toxin.
A safer option may be vitamin supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids. In addition to the fish oil capsules sold in health food stores, at least two brands of pre-natal vitamins contain omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also available in some types of infant formula. For breast-feeding mothers, supplementation would be recommended so the nutrients can pass to the baby in the breast milk.
Research into the role of this important nutrient is continuing, and all of the benefits may not be known for years, especially given the long time required to study the effects of brain development. However, the data so far seems to be encouraging, indicating a benefit for both mother and baby at this critical time of life. Pregnant moms have always wanted to give their babies every advantage in life, and one way to contribute is with good nutrition during pregnancy. Omega-3 fatty acids can be an important, maybe even a critical, addition to a pregnant woman’s diet.

Pure Fish Oil: Nordic Naturals’ 3rd Party Science Debunks Myths April 20, 2010 No Comments
Nordic Naturals
Pure fish oil manufacturer Nordic Naturals’ 3rd party science debunks purity, processing and freshness myths in the marketplace
PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 20, 2010 – Watsonville, CA
Pure fish oil manufacturer Nordic Naturals, with years of science and research backing its fish oil production, debunks processing, purity, and freshness myths currently found in the marketplace with 3rd party science and research.
One myth says “Heat used in fish oil manufacturing causes excess oxidative damage (rancidity) and creates inferior oil.” The fact is that all fish oil needs to be processed and purified in order to remove contaminants and meet minimal laws and standards such as California’s Proposition 65. These laws and standards are set to protect consumers and this process always requires heat, be it high heat or low heat.
The important point is that heat itself does not cause oxidation — it only affects the rate of oxidation. Low heat is acceptable and used by many quality manufacturers today. Oxidative damage (rancidity) can be avoided by manufacturing in a vacuum, in a nitrogen-rich, oxygen-free environment, and in the absence of free radical catalysts such as iron and copper. Nordic Naturals utilizes a proprietary multi-patented manufacturing process that produces the purest and freshest fish oil products which far exceed the stringent Norwegian Medicinal Standard and European Pharmacopeia Standard limits. (http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Retailers/Third-Party_T …)
Another myth says “Cold pressed oil of a food grade nature is superior.” The fact is cold-pressed fish oil still requires the use of heat processing to separate the oil from the fish body and strip the raw material of its impurities and meet minimal standards for fish oil (http://www.ifosprogram.com). In other words, fish oil can never be a “whole food” because it must, by its very nature, go through several manufacturing processes in order to become oil. Nordic Naturals is GMP certified with product coming from a Food Grade Facility that is in compliance with dietary supplements standards.
“Nordic Naturals has always been a research driven company where processing technology and product formulations are driven by the latest developments. We have been privileged that without solicitation, leading research institutions such as Harvard, Georgetown and Columbia universities as well as the National Institute of Health have chosen our products for many clinical studies,” says Joar Opheim, MBA, and Norwegian born founder. “Additionally, Nordic Naturals was ranked #1 out of the top 10 fish oil brands in Norway for the highest concentration, freshness and purity, which speaks to our dedication to provide consumers with the best possible fish oil products.”
“The internet has created a wonderful environment where information and opinion is only a key stroke away however it also makes it easy for anyone to publish content while rushing to put a product on the market. When looking for nutrition information, we encourage everyone to do full product research and to look for third party research and laboratory testing for purity and freshness to be certain they are getting a nutritional supplement that meets its marketing claims,” says Dr. Joseph C. Maroon, Neurological Surgeon, researcher and author.
Dr. Joseph Maroon, a board certified neurosurgeon has become one of the nation’s leading advocates of fish oil and has recently authored two books, “Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-inflammatory” and “The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life.”
Fish Oil and Red Yeast Rice Studied for Lowering Blood Cholesterol April 16, 2010 No Comments

Nordic Naturals Omega LDL – Pure Fish Oil with Red Yeast Rice and CoQ10
In a recent issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings (July 2008), a group of researchers from Pennsylvania studied the use of fish oil and red yeast rice as an alternative approach to treating high blood cholesterol for patients who are unable or unwilling to take statins – a widely prescribed medication (e.g. Crestor, Zocor etc.) for lowering cholesterol.
Researchers followed 74 patients with high blood cholesterol who met standard criteria for using statin therapy. Patients were randomly assigned to either the alternative treatment group or the statin group and followed for three months.
The alternative treatment group participants received daily fish oil and red yeast rice supplements, and they were enrolled in a 12-week multidisciplinary lifestyle program that involved weekly 3.5-hour educational meetings led by a cardiologist, dietitian, exercise physiologist and several alternative or relaxation practitioners. Red yeast rice is the product of yeast grown on rice. A dietary staple in some Asian countries, it contains several compounds known to inhibit cholesterol production.
The statin group participants received 40 milligrams (mg) of Zocor (simvastatin) daily, as well as printed materials about diet and exercise recommendations. At the end of the three-month period, participants from both groups underwent blood cholesterol testing to determine the percentage change in LDL cholesterol.
The researchers noted that there was a reduction in LDL cholesterol levels in both groups. The alternative treatment group that used fish oil and red yeast rice experienced a 42.4 percent reduction, and the statin group experienced a 39.6 percent reduction. Members of the alternative therapy group also had a substantial reduction in triglycerides, another form of fat found in the blood, and lost more weight.
“Our study was designed to test a comprehensive and holistic approach to lipid lowering,” notes the study’s lead author, David Becker, M.D., a Chestnut Hill Hospital and University of Pennsylvania Health System cardiologist. “These results are intriguing and show a potential benefit of an alternative, or naturopathic, approach to a common medical condition.”

Nordic Naturals Baby DHA – Safe Supplementation for Infants March 23, 2010 No Comments
Baby Dha
Nordic Naturals purity and safety is unparalleled that they have bravely introduced a DHA formula for infants 5 – 35 lb.
This is just in time as new clinical study shows that Omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) when added to infant formula may improve the visual acuity of the infants. Doses of 0.32 and 0.64 % DHA led to improvements in eye health of infants, compared to infants fed non-supplemented formula, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
DHA, which constitutes approximately 40% of the brain, supports brain development during the last trimester of pregnancy when the unborn child’s demand for neurological growth increases greatly. After child birth, the infant continues to need adequate DHA source from breast milk or supplementation for proper development of the brain, eyes, and nervous and immune system.
Nordic Naturals Baby DHA:
- Supports the proper development of the brain, eyes, and nervous and immune systems in babies 5–35 lbs*
- Supports learning and language abilities*
- With added natural vitamin D3 for further support of healthy development*
- The measured dropper makes it easy to add to formula or food.
Dosage depends on baby weight. The following table is provided as guideline:
Suggested use for infants:
| Body Weight | Dose | |
| 5–10 lbs. | 1 ml | |
| 11–20 lbs. | 2 ml | |
| 21–25 lbs. | 3 ml | |
| 26–35 lbs. | 4 m |
