Resveratrol in Wine Kills Cancer Cells
West Palm Beach, FL (NewsMax) March 19, 2009 — Newsmax Media Inc.
Biotivia Bioceuticals Resveratrol to be Featured on Life and Leisure Television on 24th March 2009
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 19, 2009 — Multi-Media Productions (USA), Inc. announces that Biotivia Bioceuticals will be featured on Life and Leisure Television on March 24th 2009.
Red Wine Extract Resveratrol ‘Could Hold The Key’ To Weight Loss And Muscle Gain
A new commercially available supplement based on red wine extract from Biotivia Bioceuticals LLC (www.biotivia.com) could hold the key to weight loss, according to cutting edge research. Biotivia Bioceuticals LLC has based its natural weight loss supplement on the so-called “miracle molecule” Resveratrol, which has been linked with weight loss, improved health and resistance to diseases of obesity and old age.
Urgent Health Alert Warning: A Resveratrol Supplement containing a compound called Tween is a possible health hazard
Another day, another resveratrol scam. This latest one is not only irresponsible but may be hazardous to your health as well. A Resveratrol reseller has begun adding the industrial chemical Polysorbate 80 to their product. The company claims that this chemical, also known by the trade name Tween and Tween 80, increases bioavailability of the resveratrol contained in the company’s supplement. There is absolutely no evidence to support this claim. Tween is not intended to be used for this purpose and can be toxic at high doses easily consumed in such supplements. It is commonly used in industrial detergents, shampoos and degreasers and for the remediation of toxic wastes. There is no evidence that Tween in any way enhances resveratrol bio activity or any other beneficial property. Given its chemical properties there is no reason to believe that it would enhance resveratrol. It is an emulsifier whose function is to break down fats and grease. Resveratol is not a fat, although it is soluble in oil. Consequently Tween use in a supplement merely for marketing purposes is an outrageous and irresponsible violation of product safety and common sense. However the bigger issue is that Tween has been associated with severe side effects in humans.
Dr. Joseph Maroon’s new book the Longevity Factor is now available!
Dr. Joseph Maroon, distinguished Neurosurgeon and Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, has completed his landmark publication on resveratrol and its potential for improved health and longevity. The book may be obtained on Amazon or
at your local book shop. This book represents the most current and authoritative work on longevity. We can not recommend it highly enough.
Harvard Prof’s Ties to Supplement Maker Questioned
Another medical researcher is under fire for questionable financial ties. According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, David Sinclair, a professor at Harvard Medical School sat on the scientific advisory board of supplement maker Shaklee Corp., where he helped promote a product that claimed life-extending properties. Sinclair left his seat on the Shaklee board after the Journal raised questions about his support of the company’s Vivix Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic.
Harvard Anti-Aging Researcher Quits Shaklee Advisory Board
A prominent anti-aging researcher quit the scientific advisory board of a dietary-supplement maker after six months.
Astragalus
An herbaceous perennial plant of the pea family, astragalus is most commonly used for its longevity properties, its immunostimulatory activity and its seemingly remarkable ability of restoring suppressed immune systems activities. The most remarkable property of the Astragaloside IV molecule is its ability to stimulate the production of telemerase, the enzyme that protects and promotes cell telemeres. This is why this rare and expensive compound was selected as the principal ingredient in Bio Quench. These telemeres are thought to be the ultimate limit on cell life span. Used to strengthen the immune system over time, build resistance to illnesses, astragalus may be a useful complementary treatment during chemotherapy, immune deficiency syndromes and radiation therapy. For providing additional short term immunity boost, echinacea may be used with astragalus.
Antioxidants for Young Age
If we fail to remember everything from high school biology may, we forget the exact definition of an antioxidant. Yet, we do remember one thing that antioxidants are good for our well being and super antioxidants such as Bio Quench and Bio Span are orders of magnitude more potent and efficacious than the conventional ones such as vitamins C, E and A. The super fruits Mangosteen, Pomegranate, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Goji Berry are the new generation of super nutrients. Bio Quench contains all of these as well as resveratrol.
Natural Antioxidant Supplements
These days, it is practically impossible to get though the day without hearing anything about antioxidant supplements. Super antioxidants such as Bio Quench containing the advanced free radical quenchers pomegranate, grape seed extract, resveratrol, goji berry, alpha lipoic acid and mangosteen are the newest health phenomena to hit the news.
