In a recent study, researchers found the participants who consumed higher than average amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in fish oil supplements, were less likely to have high blood pressure.

The results were adjusted for age, weight, gender, exercise and several other measures, and were based upon sample groups from countries all over the world. Nearly five thousand men and women took part in the study, which makes it one of the largest studies of its kind.

The report, featured in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation, cited that even small reductions in blood pressure can have significant long-term effects on health. Researchers contend that these findings may help combat the increasing number of those suffering from the illness.

The clear consensus of this study seems to strongly indicate that supplementing your diet with a high-quality fish oil can benefit your heart health.




A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition tracked the effects of fish oil supplementation in overweight adults engaged in new exercise regimens. The findings may have a dramatic impact on our current understanding of maintaining weight and long-term heart health.

The three-month study included 75 overweight adults. Participants who added fish oil supplements to their diet and exercised lost more fat than other participants. Not only that, but the fish oil was determined to be responsible for improved cholesterol levels and blood vessel function. Of significance, those involved in the study who took sunflower oil instead of fish oil did not experience nearly the same degree of health benefits.

This was the first clinical study to examine the effects of Omega-3 supplementation with fish oil and exercise on weight loss and cardiovascular health.

Recently, much attention has been devoted to the long-term health of companion animals.  More and more pet parents are seeking ways to supplement their dog’s new, healthier diets. 

Just like humans, dogs are subjected to environmental pollutants that can take a toll on their health.  In the home, they are exposed to household cleaners, the impurities of tap water, herbicides and even to repeated use of prescription medicines.  All of these elements can have a negative impact on their bodily organs and immune system.

To address the potential harmful effects of low-quality foods and environmental factors, we’ve developed a powerful supplement to address the needs of dogs.

Advanced Daily Supplement provides essential nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients (plant-based nutrients), and antioxidants, all of which have demonstrated abilities to help promote immunity, vision, energy, bone and skin health, and general well-being. 

Advanced Daily Supplement contains optimal levels of multi-functional vitamins, including A, C, and D, as well as vital B vitamins thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B12), and the cobalamins (B12).   Additionally, we’ve included a wide array of multi-functional minerals, including calcium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, iron, copper, manganese and iodine.  Other ingredients include the plant-based compound beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to support immunity, and the antioxidant N-Acetyl-Cysteine, shown to support healthy liver function, and respiratory and neurological health. 

This proprietary formula also includes barley grass, a “green food” found to increase levels of “friendly” bacteria (probiotics), improve energy and digestion, reduce bad breath, and promote healthy skin and coats.  And last but not least, Advanced Daily Supplements for Dogs has a delicious roast beef flavor that your furry friends will love – so your pup will be happy to take his or her multivitamin, every single day!

Remember, anything you can do now to help bolster their immune systems can have long-term benefits on their future health. 





Dark Chocolate For Your Heart

Want a healthier heart? Perhaps you should eat more dark chocolate! Researchers report that six weeks of daily consumption can lead to improved blood vessel health. Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, which has demonstrated cardio-protective and antioxidant effects in other studies. By relaxing the blood vessels, blood flow throughout the body is improved. Physicians caution that you should use dark chocolate as an occasional treat, and not a dietary staple. Additionally, they noted that the strongest effect was from consuming cocoa that was without sugar, and that milk chocolate did not have any beneficial effect.
