LUTEIN & ZEAXANTHIN PROTECT YOUR EYES


Lutein and zeaxanthin are yellow carotenoids(pigments) found in marigold flower, green leafy vegetables and eggs. In nature , carotenoids protect plants from too much sunlight. Without this protection, plants would burn up under the sun. In the same way, when you consume lutein and zeaxanthin supplements, it protects your eye tissues from sun damage.
How Lutein and Zeaxanthin work?
They are the only carotenoids found in the macula and lens of your eyes. They protect your eyes in 2 ways. Firstly, they act as nature's sunglasses by filter harmful blue light from the sun. Secondly, thy act as antioxidant which protect eyes from free radical damage.
For best result, lutein and zeaxanthin should be taken in combination with antioxidants such as betacarotene, vitamin C ,vitamin E, selenium and zinc.

Why choose Xangold? Xangold is a clinically proven lutein and zeaxanthin which can increase density of macular pigment significantly.

VIAGRA SAID TO BOOST THAT LOVING FEELING.


Impotence drugs such as Viagra may do more than help men physically have sex - they may also boost levels of feel-good hormone, US researchers reported on Thursday.
Viagra, known generically as sildenafil, raised levels of the HORMONE OXYTOCIN in rats, the team at the University of Wisconsin - Madison said in a report published in the Journal of Physiology.
The hormone is involved in nursing and childbirth but also in ORGASM and feelings of SEXUAL PLEASURE. And it seems Viagra and related drugs act on the part of the brain that controls the release of oxytocin, said Wisconsin physiology professor Meyer Jackson.
Viagra, made by Pfizer Inc, is an inhibitor of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5, it blocks this enzyme, which in turn breaks down other compounds. This increases blood flow in the muscles but it also affects a brain structure known as the posterior pituitary. This , in turn, boost oxytocin, at least in the rats. It probably does the same thing in people, Jackson said.
Oxytocin has been known for years to be involved in labour, and it is the hormone that causes the "let-down" of milk in lactating mothers. Only in recent decades has it been found to have a function in men - in sexual arousal and function.
This could suggest other uses for Viagra and related drugs, Jackson said - perhaps promoting social bonding.

Scientists believe macula helps protect retina from harmful blue light. As you age, macula degenerates causing poor eyesight.

CATARACT: Caused by clumping of protein in the lens of your eye. Over time, the cataract grows larger blocking your vision.

GLAUCOMA: Happens when fluid pressure inside your eyes slowly increase, damaging your optic nerve.

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY: Happens when diabetes damages the tiny blood vessels near your retina.


ARE YOU AT RISK?

:Excessive sun exposure
:Smokers
:Overweight
:Diabetes, High Cholesterol, Heart disease
:Menopause
:Age above 40
:Family history


WHAT ARE THE EARLY SIGNS?

COMBINATION OF TURMERIC EXTRACT AND BLACK PEPPER FOR MORE EFFECTIVE RESULTS


Curcuminoids is not soluble in water and it is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream and once there,it is rapidly metabolized. This may be the reason why most people do not obtain all the benefits curcuminoids have to offer when they take supplements that contain turmeric alone.


Studies show that when a small amount of piperine (patented Bioperine US Patent 5,972,382) which is extracted from black pepper, is combined with turmeric extract in a capsule, the absorption of curcuminoids into the bloodstream is dramatically increased(2000%). Besides enhancing absorption of curcuminoids into bloodstream, piperine also helps by inhibiting the enzymes that breakdown curcuminoids, which makes curcuminoids stay in the body longer and in higher quantities for maximum effectiveness.


New evidence suggests Turmeric, a bright yellow colour curry spice can prevent many diseases. A growing body of research indicates that curcuminoids, the active components in Turmeric could be used to prevent a wide range of illness from colorectal cancer to Alzheimer's disease to arthritis and skin disorders. Studies have shown that curcuminoids has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cholesterol lowering properties. And it is also a natural COX-2(anti-inflammatory agent) inhibitor for relieving pain and a promising anti-cancer agent. Scientists have also noted that curcuminoids support healthy blood sugar metabolism and offer a promise to fight diabetes.


Research activity on curcuminoids has increased dramatically over the past few years and to-date hundreds of papers have been published.


To enjoy the full benefits of Curcuminoids, ask your pharmacist today for a formulation that specially combines Turmeric Extract with patented Bioperine and Black Pepper extract.

INTRODUCING ZYBAN: THE FIRST AND ONLY NON-ADDICTIVE, NON NICOTINE ORAL TABLET FOR EASY AND EFFECTIVE SMOKING CESSATION


Brand name is Zyban and the active ingredient is Bupropion. Zyban tablets are indicated for the treatment of nicotine dependence as an aid to smoking cessation. The efficacy of Zyban in the treatment of nicotine dependence has also been demonstrated in populations of smokers with stable cardiovascular disease and /or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and in smokers who have previously attempted to quit.


How Zyban act ? In smoker's brain, dopamine(a type of body's neurotransmitter) is associated with cravings for nicotine. Zyban will reduce the URGE by control the activity of dopamine in brain. Beside this, Zyban will also reduce WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS of smoker by control the activity of another body's neurotransmitter called Noradregenic neurons. Noradregenic neurons is associated with nicotine withdrawal symptoms.


How about safety profile of Zyban? In clinical trials, the most common side effects were dry mouth and insomnia. Side effects were generally mild and transient. Insomnia may be minimized by avoiding bedtime doses and allowing at least 8 hrs between successive doses. Zyban demonstrated a low rate of discontinuation (8% for Zyban vs 6% for placebo). Zyban is contraindicated in patients with a seizure disorder or a current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa. Because the use of bupropion is associated with a dose-dependent risk of seizure, clinicians should not prescribe doses over 300mg/day for smoking cessation. The risk of seizure is also related to patient factors, clinical situation and concurrent medications, which must be considered in selection of patients for therapy with Zyban


Price of Zyban 150mg 60 tablets per box is about RM300. The duration of treatment is about 2 to 3 months. Hence, smokers will spend about RM600-RM900 for treatment. In the long run, it is much more cheaper than cigarettes.


For further info, smokers should discuss with their pharmacist or doctor.


My advice to smokers is SMOKING DOES NOT INVOLVE THE SMOKER ALONE.

HOW TO LOWER YOUR CHOLESTEROL LEVEL NATURALLY?


Many think the best way is to reduce intake of fatty foods. However, it is discovered that only 20% of cholesterol comes from your food. The majority 80% is produced within your body- by your liver! Hence, it is important to manage the cholesterol created by your own liver.


What is Octacosanol? Octacosanol is a natural product purified from sugarcane wax. Octacosanol combined with other fatty acids, have been heavily researched in Cuba over the past 10 years for its cholesterol-lowering benefits.


How Octacosanol works? Octacosanol works by blocking production of cholesterol in your liver. Octacosanol reduces activity of an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in cholesterol production in your liver. As a result, the production of cholesterol in your body is decreased. It also speeds up clearance of LDL(bad) cholesterol from your blood.


Is Octacosanol proven? Octacosanol combined with other fatty acids, have been shown in numerous studies to effectively reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, increase HDL cholesterol and reduce LDL/HDL ratio. In fact, some studies showed that it does this as effectively as statins, a type of cholesterol-lowering drug.


Is Octacosanol safe? Octacosanol is a very safe supplement, as supported by extensive clinical studies. Though derived from sugarcane, it contains no sugar as it is extracted from waxy substance found in stem of sugarcane. It is suitable for long term use.


Tips to lower your cholesterol level


1)Take Octacosanol daily, and eat foods high in fiber such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains


2)Avoid foods high in saturated fat. Choose low-fat dairy products


3)Choose fish and lean meats as source of protein.


4)Exercise at least 30 minutes,3 times a week.

WHY MEN GO BALD?


Scientists believe a male sex hormone called dihydrotestoterone(DHT) is a key factor. As you age ,DHT starts to build up around your hair folicle. DHT causes hair folicle to shrink until it no longer produces hair. This process slowly depletes your stock of hair leading to permanent hair loss. Studies showed balding man have high levels of DHT in their scalp.
Will it happen to YOU? The best way to predict is to look at your male relatives on both sides of the family. If they are balding, ask them when it started ! It can begin as early as in your 20s. By age 50, 50% of men would already have noticeable hair loss.
Why choose SABALSELECT ? SABALSELECT is a natural extract of Saw Palmetto berries produced under patent by Italian company, Indena. SABALSELECT works in the same way as finasteride, the drug use for male pattern baldness, but with fewer side effects. It blocks formation of DHT in your scalp. This prevents shrinkage of your hair follicles and keeps your hair from further thinning. Under this patented process,SABALSELECT contains 17 types of fatty acids for optimum synergistic effect.
It takes a while for hair to thin, so it will also take time to reverse the process. SABALSELECT can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. Beside this, SABALSELECT is also effective for men's vitality as it keeps the prostate healthy.
