1 The World s Best Multis and Longevity Enzymes Success begins with good health. Al Amatuzio President and CEO, AMSOIL INC. JULY 2013 Omega-3 Still Making News The myriad benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in our diets are well established. These powerhouse nutrients are reported to help protect us from heart disease and diabetes, reduce out-of-control inflammation and the pain of arthritis and many other health problems. Research continues to determine even more benefits of these nutrients. An article in the May, 2013 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) reports omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) benefits memory and reaction time in healthy young men and women. In other words, DHA supplementation impacted the processes of perception, memory, judgment and reasoning in the men and women in the study. These memory-related cognitive domains are the building blocks of more complex cognitive functions or behaviors that are common in everyday life, according to the researchers. Thus, young healthy adults may benefit cognitively from increased consumption of DHA. Neither DHA nor EPA is manufactured in the body naturally, so it needs to be consumed from oily fish, such as albacore tuna, mackerel, herring, wild-caught salmon; or nuts, such as walnuts. These memory-related cognitive domains are the building blocks of more complex cognitive functions or behaviors that are common in everyday life. Study: Significant Improvement in Memory According to the AJCN article, New Zealand researchers randomly split a group of 176 adults between the ages of 18 and 45 into two groups. The first group received 1.16 grams of DHA daily for six months, while the second group received a placebo at the same treat rate. Tests evaluating episodic and working memory, attention, reaction time of episodic and working memory, and attention and processing speed were administered before and after the treatment period. Episodic memory refers to the ability to recall specifics of past events. Benefits Differ for Men, Women At the end of the study, those who received DHA showed improvement in the reaction time of episodic and working memory. A gender-specific analysis of the results revealed a significant improvement in episodic memory had occurred in women who received DHA and in the reaction time of working memory in men who received the compound. This gender-specific result was unexpected and unique to the study, the authors said. DHA supplementation significantly improved the reaction time of episodic memory in men and women. However, the accuracy of episodic memory was improved in women, and the reaction time of working memory was improved in men.

How Inflammation Harms YOUR Body Inflammation is the root cause for just about every major physical problem that affects the human body, according to Russell Blaylock, MD.

Inflammation is the normal response of the body to injury and infection and a major component of healing.

2 How Inflammation Harms YOUR Body Inflammation is the root cause for just about every major physical problem that affects the human body, according to Russell Blaylock, MD. Blaylock discusses the impact of chronic inflammation in the human body in his online newsletter the Blaylock Wellness Report. Inflammation is the normal response of the body to injury and infection and a major component of healing. The redness, warmth, swelling and pain that characterize inflammatory reactions all are evidence that the immune, circulatory and hormonal systems are actively working to boost the efficiency of the body s defenses and speed the repair of damaged tissue. However, inflammation that continues beyond its normal limits causes a number of types of illness, according to Blaylock.* It is often an unwelcome feature of immunesystem dysfunction, for example, and a major component of musculoskeletal problems. Some of the things that promote out-of-control inflammation in the body are poor diet; lack of exercise; too little sun in the winter; chronic stress; chronic exposure to viruses, bacteria, yeasts or parasites; hidden allergens from food or the environment; and mold toxins. What is Silent Inflammation? Silent inflammation often does not cause pain. Unlike inflammation that lets us know we are injured, inflammation that is beyond its useful purpose can travel throughout the body causing damage unchecked because it does not cause the pain reaction of acute inflammation that results from an injury. Why Reduce Silent Inflammation? Research shows that reducing silent inflammation can help your body in many ways. You will think and feel better, look younger, healthier and more vibrant. Reducing silent inflammation in the body can help prevent heart problems; lower the risk of other conditions such as Type II diabetes, Alzheimer s, depression and other neurological problems; reduce or improve autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis; and help reduce the screaming pain of fibromyalgia, migraines, arthritis and chronic pain syndromes. That s a lot of benefit just by focusing on the reduction of silent inflammation in your body. Inflammation measures are better guides for predicting both heart attack and stroke risk than cholesterol levels even LDL cholesterol, according to Blaylock. Poor Diet Increases Inflammation Poor diet is a primary cause of inflammation. Americans eat 50 times the amount of omega-6 fats as needed for health. That includes corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, peanut and soybean oils. These fats suppress natural immunity while they dramatically increase inflammation. Excessive consumption of meats, soybean products and trans-fats also increase inflammation in the body. How to Reduce Inflammation Changing the diet can change the whole body, researchers tell us. Foods that can help reduce silent, out-of-control inflammation in the body include some white meats, such as chicken and turkey, a diet rich in vegetables with some fruits and adding nutritional supplements. Other ways to help reduce inflammation include daily exercise, stress reduction and taking nutritional supplements that provide anti-inflammatory relief, such as high-quality fish oil. ALTRUM offers several anti-inflammatory supplements that can help manage inflammation, as well as improve overall nutrition.* ALTRUM products that may help moderate inflammation are Ultra Omega-3 and Nutritional Oils (DUO and DNO), Vitamin C-600 Formula with Rosehips (VBO20), Stress Management System (VBO10), Phytonutrients (DPN), Joint Formula (DJF), Vision Power (DVP) and Longevity Enzymes (DZM).* Visit the ALTRUM website at for in-depth information -on all of the ALTRUM nutritional supplements. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

These Nutrients MAY HELP Improve Your Memory A new study finds that supplementation with three B vitamins can improve gray-matter maintenance in older men and women at risk of dementia.

5 These Nutrients MAY HELP Improve Your Memory A new study finds that supplementation with three B vitamins can improve gray-matter maintenance in older men and women at risk of dementia. Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid supplementation provided maintenance in the areas of the brain that are affected by Alzheimer s disease. The trial was described in an article published online on May 20 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study by researchers at the University of Oxford found subjects who received these B vitamins experienced less total gray-matter loss and showed significant reductions in atrophy in the areas of the brain most affected by Alzheimer s than those who received a placebo. ALTRUM Stress Management System (VBO10) is loaded with B-complex vitamins that are essential for proper function of the nervous system. Vitamin C, zinc, choline and inositol in this formula help the body to absorb the nutrients in the B vitamins, as well as help protect the immune system and may help relieve the impact of stress.* A.J. s Brain Power (DBP01) brings you the power of ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo comes from the ancient ginkgo biloba tree. It has been shown to help improve brain function and memory, slow aging, enhance energy, balance mood, enhance heart health, inhibit blood clots, improve visual acuity, improve glucose function, enhance healing, promote youthful skin, subdue allergic reactions, reduce fatigue and improve circulation. Gingko is effective because it restores capillary integrity and improves circulation, making it easier for each cell to receive the necessary nutrients. A.J. s Brain Power contains a full 60 mg of concentrated ginkgo biloba leaf extract in a base of the rejuvenative herbs gotu kola, schizandra and ginger.* Ultra Omega-3 (DUO01) is a concentrated omega-3 formula that provides an ideal source of the highest quality EPA and DHA essential fatty acids from premium molecular-distilled marine lipids from fish oils. These essential fatty acids have been well-documented to improve almost every function of the human body. And new research indicates even more benefit for brain health. Since the body cannot manufacture these fatty acids, they must be consumed through foods such as cold water fish, nuts and flax.* ALTRUM Ultra Omega-3 provides the highest quality omega-3 fatty acids available through its patented cold-press process of molecular distillation. Memory Focus (DMF01) provides vital brain nutrients to renew and rejuvenate your brain function. Research proves brain cells need specific nutrients to maintain optimal function. Without an adequate intake of these nutrients, focus weakens and mental sharpness dulls. ALTRUM Memory Focus provides the highest quality, proven brain nutrients. It is formulated in the right dosages so the nutrients it provides may protect the brain s function against the effects of aging, stress and free-radical damage. It may also help control inflammation and promote normal blood flow to the brain.* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
