Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are considered one of the "good" fats importantfor cellular, heart and metabolic health. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) andDocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are two types of fatty acids that help maintain a healthyheart and circulatory system. Additionally, fish oil also helps maintain triglyceridelevels already within a normal range. The FDA has approved the following healthclaim for Omega-3 Fatty Acids: “Consumption of Omega-3 Fatty Acids may reducethe risk of coronary heart disease. FDA evaluated the data and determined that,although there is scientific evidence supporting the claim, the evidence is not conclusive.”

Omega 3 Fish Oil Research reveals that Omega-3fatty acids, known as EPA andDHA, help protect and supportoverall heart health. Theseacids are found in particularlyfatty, cold water fish such assalmon, mackerel and herring,which are found in this supplement. Omega-3 fishoils also help contribute togood blood circulation.

Flax Seed OilVegetarian source forOmega-3 Fatty Acids that promotes a healthyinflammatory response,Joint and Cardiovascularhealth.

Salmon OilResearch published in the prestigious AmericanJournal of Clinical Nutrition points out that supple-menting with Salmon Oil (the richest source ofEPA & DHA) keeps blood flowing free, vessels flexible

and helps protect peoplefrom heart attacks.

But superior heart healthisn’t all. Numerous studies in peer reviewedpublications prove thatOmega-3 supplementsthat are high in EPA andDHA can help people withdepression, PMS, arthritisand other inflammations,such as migraines. They’realso important duringpregnancy, nursing andinfancy when a baby’seyes, nerves and brain aredeveloping.

VITAMIN D3

www.MasonVitamins.com

Vitamin D “The Sunshine Vitamin” is HOT!• At the 18th annual meeting and clinical congress for the American

Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) held in May 2009, the consensus was very clear. Dr Neil Binkley noted that the current national recommendations from the Food and Nutrition board of 400 to 600 IUs is simply not enough. Experts recommend somewherebetween 1500 to 2600IU daily and it is considered a very safe vitamin.

• Pediatricians recommended 400IU vitamin D dose for children.

Why D3?Vitamin D comes in twodifferent formulations.

Vitamin D2, also calledergocalciferol; and

Vitamin D3, also calledcholecalciferol.

D2 (synthesized byplants) is a far

inferior form of VitaminD that does not getabsorbed into the

human body well. This isa phenomenon called

bioavailability, or in thiscase simply Vitamin D

Absorption.

D3 is synthesized byhumans and is a more

potent form. Moreimportantly, it is better

absorbed by the humanbody.

So if you take Vitamin D, make it D3.

CHOLESTEROLWhether you just found out or you already knew that your bad cholesterol levels were high, you areconcerned and you have good reason to be. We've all heard about the fact that excessive LDL (bad) cholesterolcan be an indicator of increased risk of getting heart disease, the leading cause of death in America! Whenyour bad (LDL) cholesterol levels sky rocket, it is no laughing matter. Ignored, this can lead to severe healthproblems including stroke, kidney damage, diabetes mellitus, and even death. Sadly, statin drugs have thepotential for many negative side-effects including fatigue, dizziness, depression, impotence, liver damage,and more. The good news is - Mason offers safe and effective solutions to maintain and regulate normalhealthy levels of cholesterol.

Lecithin is a special kind of modified fat that acts as anemulsifier, which allows fats and water to mix. Lecithinhelps dissolve fats and cholesterol in the blood.

In addition to the common side effects such as headaches, nausea and fever, other statin side effects can be much more serious. Two of the most troubling statin side effects include extreme muscle pain and muscle disease(statin induced myopathy), and serious liver problems. Anyone with liver disease or prior liver issues probablyshould not take statin medications, and all of the statin manufacturers warn against it. Much research has shownthat statin side effects could also include sexual dysfunction and performance problems, as well as memory loss,personality changes and irritability.

Other concerns regarding prescription cholesterol lowering drugs:1) While cholesterol lowering drugs do lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, they have limited effect on HDL

(good) cholesterol, and no effect on triglycerides (fats), an equally important heart disease risk indicator.2) Statin medications decrease your body's supply of CoEnzyme Q10 (Co Q-10), which is an essential

nutrient for heart strength and function.

Garlic may have positive effects in preventingcardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack or stroke. Garlic helps to prevent atherosclerosisthrough the actions of its sulfur compounds andits ability to reduce the fatty substances, such ascholesterol, found in the bloodstream. It promotesthe regression of fatty deposits in blood vessels, a major cause of atherosclerosis, and can evenhelp reverse arterial blockages caused by the collection of plaque. Garlic significantly lowersblood levels of triglycerides which have beenassociated with an increased risk of heart attack.It also works as an immune system stimulantwhich helps the body fight bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

Immune support is important throughout the year, but particularly during times of seasonal change. A healthy immune system can help your body fight cell-damagingfree radicals in your body. Free radicals—which are produced from things like carexhaust, smoking, even your own body—can contribute to the premature aging ofcells. Immune support can come from several types of supplements, particularlyantioxidants that can help you structure a personal healthy aging plan according toyour needs.

EchinaceaThere are several herbs that act as immunos-timulants, botanical medicines that help yourbody fight off illness by bolstering its naturaldefenses. Echinacea is the best-known ofthese herbs and the one with the most scientificevidence behind it. This North Americanplant kicks your immune system into highgear. Echinacea can stop a cold, influenza,or bacterial infection before it can spread inthe body. It can also shorten the duration andlessen the symptoms of the infection, accordingto some doctors.

ZincAccording to a studyconducted by WorldHealth OrganizationZinc supplements canreduce the incidence ofchildhood pneumoniaby up to 41%.

Echinacea & GoldensealNatural Defense buildersfor Cold Season care.Goldenseal containsimportant alkaloids,including hydrastineand berberine, whichcontribute to a healthyimmune system.

Vitamin CVitamin C promotes antioxidant protection and is one of theleading vitamins for immune support. At the 60th AnniversaryMeeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, andImmunology (AAAAI), it was reported that 12 healthy subjectswho took one gram of vitamin C a day for two weeks showeda boosted immune system response during that time. What'smore, when they looked at responses in four of the patients, theyfound that in two of them, the response to vitamin C took placewithin five hours. According to the researchers this might meanthat taking a vitamin C tablet at the first sign of a cold couldachieve an effect quickly enough to ward off that cold.

Consistent use of multivitamins and other key supplements can promote good health and help prevent disease,according to a comprehensive new report released by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN). The reportfound that ongoing use of multivitamins (preferably with minerals) and other single-nutrient supplements (likecalcium or folic acid) demonstrated quantifiable positive impact in areas ranging from strengthening the immunesystem of highly-vulnerable elderly patients, to drastically reducing the risk of neural tube birth defects such asspina bifida.Women who consume multivitamins and/or dietary supplements during a weight-loss program may have reducedappetite (Br J Nutr. 2007; (1):1-11). Researchers from Laval University conducted two studies: a comparison ofthe characteristics between vitamin and/or dietary supplement consumption and non-consumption, and theeffects of multivitamin and mineral supplementation during a weight-reducing program. Overall, vitamin and/ordietary supplementation consumption and multivitamin and mineral supplementation had an appetite-relatedeffect on women during a weight-reducing program, although lower body weight and fat was more detectable in men.

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in the U.S. and the third most commonmalignancy in US women. Much research is being done on the prevention of colon polyps, which is thought to bethe first step in the development of colon and rectal cancer. A large study by Dr. J. Baron revealed that calciumsupplementation was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of recurrent colon and rectal polyps. Thisstudy used 1200 milligrams of calcium over a four-year period and found a 15% reduction in polyp recurrence.This reduction was seen within the first year of the study.

In a second well controlled intervention study, Dr. Baron found reason for continued optimism regarding calciumand colon cancer prevention. In this study, 803 men and women who had a prior colon polyp were givencalcium (1200 milligrams) or placebo and followed for 4 years. The investigators measured levels of vitamin D inthe study participants and found that the benefit of calcium on polyp prevention was seen in individuals withhigher levels of vitamin D.

In a new survey study by the American Cancer Society, they found an association between higher calcium intakeand a lower risk of colon cancer for both men and women, while vitamin D might help cut risk in men. Theassociation was strongest in people who took supplements, rather than getting these nutrients fromfoods. McCullough and her colleagues studied more than 10,000 men and more than 66,000 women who werealready participating in an American Cancer Society study of nutrition and cancer prevention. The participantswere all between 50 and 74-years old when they enrolled in the study in 1992 and 1993. People who took calciumsupplements had about a 30% lower risk of developing colon cancer than people who did not take supplements.
