Fish and fish oil receive increasing amounts of media attention as scientific evidence continues to provide information on their potential health benefits, the most notable being their ability to support normal heart function. In fact, the heart-health benefits of fish oil are so compelling, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated that, “Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.”
In addition to its profound heart-health benefits, fish oil also plays a fundamental role in the development and maintenance of brain and nervous functions such as preservation of memory and mental clarity.

Fish oil has also been shown to maintain a healthy blood pressure. In addition to profound heart- health benefits, fish oil also plays a fundamental role in the development and maintenance of brain and nervous functions such as preservation of memory and mental clarity.*

In 2002 the FDA approved supplementation of DHA in infant formula. Potentially important in fetal and infant neural development, DHA has been shown to be incorporated into brain and retinal cell membranes—particularly during the third trimester and early infant life. Fish oil supports the eyes and helps early development of vision.*

White Oak Complex…..My Hero Product….in Canada only

by Shop Talk Notes on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 7:25pm

White oak bark, black walnut hulls, queen of the meadow leaf, marshmallow root and mullein leaf in a gelatin capsule.

This combination of herbs work synergistically together to give the body essential elements that aid in the healing and strengthening of bones, muscles and cartilage.

It has been found to speed healing of bruises, help relieve sore joints and muscles due to injury or arthritic symptoms, strengthen connective tissue and reduce swelling.

It is also a powerful analgesic and pain reducer for irritable bowel syndrome, crohns, and colitis. It also has anti-fungal properties and may be beneficial for some forms of Lupus.

When used with a Complex Calcium formula it is very effective in relieving any pain including headaches and migraine headaches. This powerful combination of Calcium Complex Formula and White Oak has been successfully used for post-surgical pain therapy and therapy for injury due to accidents.

Note: This is important….I personally have used this for Post surgical pain management since I am hyper-sensitive to prescription and over the counter pain medication and have been my entire life. Many people have used this product in circumstances that required pain medication such as morphine to replace this prescription successfully. Using this product with Calcium Magnesium Chelate, is non-addictive, and very effective without any side-effects……I use it always this way……if you change the dosage of white oak you will not get the same results…..6 White Oak Plus Capsules with 1-2 tsp of Calcium Magnesium Chelate dissolved in water. You may take this dosage every 3-4 hours for pain, or migraines. The only statement is you will have more bowel movements because of the magnesium..it will pass.

Osteo Essentials®

by Shop Talk Notes on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 7:59pm

Glucosamine AJF™ (Advanced Joint Formula) is a special formulation of several natural ingredients that have been found to contribute to joint health. Glucosamine stimulates the body’s manufacture of collagen, the protein portion of the fibrous substance that holds joints together and provides shock-absorbing cushion. Chondroitin sulfate is synergistic with glucosamine. The combination is a popular and well-established nutritional formula that millions of people have found to be a beneficial addition to their supplement programs. Devil’s claw and shark cartilage extract have also been added. Glucosamine AJF is an exclusive formula and the perfect product to help nourish the skeletal system!*

It’s common practice to take for granted how the body accomplishes the demands we place on it until the day that extreme discomfort forces you to evaluate and measure each movement and position. As a person ages, the cartilage that cushions the joints often loses its ability to support healthy cellular growth. In addition, the synovial fluid which lubricates these joints also deteriorates. This condition, called osteoarthritis, often leads to rough bones that rub together and cause distress with every twist or bend. Over time, the only option you have is to use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These preparations may cause side effects like slowing down the body’s rate of cartilage replacement and actually destroying cartilage.

Other side effects include: gastrointestinal tract damage, hemorrhaging, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), edema (fluid retention) and sometimes kidney and liver damage. After these products no longer are effective, you can choose to: 1) live with it or 2) undergo radical medical procedures like joint replacement surgery. This is where an orthopedic surgeon replaces your hip or knee with a metal one. The procedure is complicated and the recovery time extensive.

Research Brief

Moveable (synovial) joints in the skeletal system are characterized by the presence of a cushioning layer of cartilage on the ends of where the bones meet. This cartilage layer reduces the friction between the bones and allows for easier movement of the joint. Cartilage is a tough but resilient connective tissue that is constantly rebuilding to compensate for the mechanical stresses put on the joint. In addition, the joint is surrounded by tough layers of connective tissue that hold the joint together and also secrete a fluid that bathes the cartilage pads to reduce friction further. However, accumulated wear and tear on the joints results in the breakdown and thinning of the cartilage, causing pain, inflammation, and loss of motion.* Cartilage is composed of molecules known as proteoglycans, which are deposited within a matrix of collagen fibers. This complex traps water and helps give cartilage its flexibility, resiliency, and resistance to compression. Proteoglycans are a combination of protein and carbohydrate molecules. The most important of these is glucosamine, an amino-sugar. Higher levels of glucosamine within the cartilage-producing cells (chondrocytes) is critical for production of adequate amounts of proteoglycans. Chondroitin is another molecule that is involved in the production of proteoglycans.*

FAQs Q: What is the glucosamine in this product derived from? A: The glucosamine is derived from chitin.

Q: Will the glucosamine build up in my body?A: Glucosamine is water soluble, so it is eliminated daily.
