Thursday, April 30, 2009 Why I do What I do My name is Steve Bruner - Founder of Natural Biology. I still work everyday and I really enjoy formuating great supplements. My goal is to always figure out how to push the envelop. Today is exciting time to be in the supplement industry. Most companies continue to do business the way they've always done business but I believe there's a much better model for supplements than exist. Today is an exciting time to be in the supplemetn business - micro-nutrients are better than they've ever been - and university research is outstanding. > moreWednesday, April 29, 2009 Dalhousie University cancer researcher shows common virus kills cancer stem cellsApril 26, 2009 “Human reovirus, a common virus that does not cause disease, effectively targets and kills cancer stem cells in breast cancer tissue… [and] stimulates the anti-cancer immune system.” Halifax, Nova Scotia - Dalhousie Medical School cancer researcher Dr. Patrick Lee has proven that a common virus can infect and kill breast cancer stem cells. This breakthrough finding was published March 17 in Molecular Therapy, the prestigious journal of the American Society of Gene Therapy. [“Oncolytic Reovirus Effectively Targets Breast Cancer Stem Cells. > moreWednesday, April 29, 2009 Low Dose Opioid Blockers Naltrexone and Naloxone May Aid Problematic-Pain Relief, Research Review FindsApril 23, 2009 “Low doses of opioid antagonists have been postulated to “reset” the opioid-receptor system for a period of time, which seems analogous to how rebooting a malfunctioning computer clears memory, refreshes the software, and often restores normal function.” According to an evidence review from Pain Treatment Topics (http://Pain-Topics.org), opioid antagonists like naloxone and naltrexone - which block opioid drugs from activating their receptors - may be surprisingly helpful for relieving difficult-to-treat pain conditions. > moreWednesday, April 29, 2009 Critical Alert: The Swine Flu Pandemic The critical point about Swine Flu in the USA are: 1. Keep your hands washed and clean at all times. Hand to hand contact is the number one way Swine Flu is spread. 2. If you get sick, stay at home. If you get real sick immediately go to see a physician. 3. Take Vitamin D and try to get some sunshine each day. Many Natural Biology products have very high amounts of Vitamin D - Vitamin D itself, EVEREST Earth and Sea Formula, Med Factors, and Okinawa Coral Calcium. 4. Consider staying home more often until the panic passes. > moreTuesday, April 21, 2009 Featured Product: ACAI used in Everest Earth and Sea Formula™ ACAI 5:1 POWDER EXTRACT Origin Amazonian Region of South America Description The acai tree grows in the Brazilian Amazon and produces a small, round dark purple fruit with pulp and a seed.

However, premature aging also comes down to cellular damage, brought on by oxidative stress from free radicals that are constantly being formed through countless biochemical reactions in our bodies. One of the secrets to slowing down aging is to aggressively combat this oxidative damage with long-acting antioxidants. Lipoic acid is one of the most potent, versatile and longer-acting antioxidant vitamins known. Of all the major antioxidant vitamins only lipoic acid possesses the unique ability to work in both water-soluble and fat-soluble environments in the body. > moreThursday, April 16, 2009 Vitamin deficiency asthma 'link' Asthma affects 5m people in the UKA low intake of vitamins A and C could raise the risk of asthma, a team which reviewed 40 studies carried out over the past 30 years has said. A Nottingham University-led team found people with a low intake of vitamin C had a 12% increased risk of asthma, the Thorax journal reported. For vitamin A the raised risk was less clear cut, the team said, but there was still a significant association. Asthma UK and the Medical Research Council said more research was needed. There has been a lot of confusion over the link between vitamins and the condition, which affects five million people in the UK. > moreTuesday, April 14, 2009 Alpha-carotene is part of the carotenoid family, and is one of the most abundant carotenoids in a healthy diet. Your body can convert alpha and beta-carotene into vitamin A for the maintenance of healthy skin and bones, good vision, and a robust immune system. Because the body converts alpha-carotene to vitamin A, alpha-carotene is called a precursor to vitamin A, or a provitamin A compound. As a precursor to vitamin A, alpha-carotene is only about half as effective as beta-carotene, another well-known carotenoid. However, alpha-carotene may be even more effective than beta-carotene in its role as an antioxidant. > moreTuesday, April 14, 2009 I. Introductory Remarks Phytochemicals, ie, are complex chemicals found in plants, notably in fruits and vegetables — with the focus on the phytochemicals rather than on their sources. This review is not comprehensive, it is simply a first attempt at classification of phytochemicals that have attracted my attention. Many phytochemicals have not been included. Isoprene Phytochemicals with antioxidant properties tend to be brightly colored because they contain chromophores, ie, a series of alternating single-bonded and double-bonded carbons. Isoprene is often the building block of such units. > moreTuesday, April 14, 2009 Insositol is present in Natural Biology's EVEREST Earth & Sea Formula™. Like Choline, Inositol may be helpful in lowering an individual's cholesterol levels. However, Inositol has been found to be helpful in other areas as well, including the promotion of healthy hair, the prevention of eczema, and as an aid in the redistribution of body fat. Should you take supplemental doses of inositol? According to some sources, taking supplemental inositol can increase the effectiveness of both choline and Vitamin E. Inositol is part of the vitamin B complex. It promotes healthy brain development and function, and works closely with choline to move fats out of the heart and liver. > more |
