p05_NGDORenew Life specializes in digestive health and when ever they introduce a new product to their line it is pure quality.  They are known first and foremost for their cleansing program, which starts with the First Cleanse (15days) for first timers all the way to a more advanced seven channel of elimation cleanse, which is called Cleansmart (30days).  They also have cleanses that work on specific parts of the body, for example the Liver Cleanse or the Lung Cleanse.   They have special FibreSmart formulas, Ultimate Probiotics, digestive enzymes, and colon soother products for people with IBS. 

Now Renew Life has come out with what is being called the Ultimate Fish Oil.  They are of superior quality and have been compared to Nordic Naturals or Eskimo 3 Enzymatics fish oils.  In fact the Norweigian Gold Ultimate Fish Oils exceed world standards for fish oil quality and purity.  Most of us know why we take fish oils, but just to re-cap and re-fresh fish oils nourish the whole body because of their essential fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.  They promote healthy skin, brain, heart, nervous system, joints and they help reduce excess inflammation in the body. 

What are the advantages with Norwegian Gold Fish Oils?

  • They are enteric coded to ensure that they are delivered directly to the intestines.  When this happens you getstomach-diagram 3x the absorption.
  • They included the the fat digesting enzyme called lipase for easy digestion and to eliminate burping up fish oil.
  • They have a one a day serving! 
  • They really mean quality and purity.  Norwegian Fish Oils are sourced from sustainable wild and unthreatened fish found in cold pristine waters.  These waters are naturally lower in toxins such as: PCB’s, mercury and pesticides.
  • Their testing and certification consistantly receives a 5 star raiting by the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program.
  • All their fish oils are encapsulated in natural fish-derived gel caps!

How Much Fish Oil Do you Need?

  • For someone with no health concerns it is recommended to take a combined dosage of 1000mg of EPA and DHA.  This dosage is to maintain tissue health, skin, brain and joints health etc.
  • For someone with heart problems, unhealthy arteries, high cholesterol, joint pain, low mental acuity or other health conditions it is recommended to take a dosage as high as 4000mg of EPA and DHA.

Resveratrol is an antioxidant that is found in the skin of red grapes and is a constituent of red wine.  There are many antioxidants out there, but they all specialize in different things.  It is most recommended to take a few of them and not limit yourself.  For example, if you are already using Grape Seed extract you can take Resveratrol too!  Think of a school and all of its parts.  There are many people that make things happen.  There is the guidance counsellor, the principal and teachers.  Imagine if we thought, I already have a Mathematics teacher so I do not need an English teacher.   While they are both teachers they do completely different things; this is the same thinking when it comes to antioxidants. 

What does Resveratrol do?

Life Extension: Resveratrol is about life extension while still maintaining the quality of life.  No one wants to live until 100 if it means they are still falling apart.  Therefore, the benefit of Resveratrol is to improve the quality of life as well as the longevity.  Dr. Sinclair from Harvard found that Resveratrol tops the list to slow down the aging process.  He found that mice fed with Resveratrol along with a healthy fat diet (coconut oil) far better than the control group which had the same diet, but minus the Resveratrol.  The experimental group were: skinnier, younger looking, had healthier skin, and they could run twice as fast. 

Neuodegenerative Disease: In 2008 researchers at Weill Medical College of Cornell University reported that dietary supplementation with Resveratrol reduced plaque formation in animal brains.  Plaque formation leads to Alzeimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. 

Where to get Resveratrol?

There are many to choose from on the market and it is hard to know which one to pick.  If you are having trouble deciding, you can rely on the Alive Resveratrol; it is of excellent quality.  The Alive Brand is extracted from the polyphenols of 100% red grapes from France. 

As always you can come to Alive Health Centre or if you are in Alberta there is Morning Sun, and if you are in Toronto you can find Supplements Plus!  Hope to see you soon!
