Urgent Health Alert Warning: A Resveratrol Supplement containing a compound called Tween is a possible health hazard

Friday, January 9th, 2009

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.

Astragalus

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

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

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

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.
