| Many common nutrients and formulas that abound today were once specialty products, known only to those who were willing to read overlooked or little-known research. Allergy Research Group® introduced many of these to doctors and consumers, such as CoQ10, pure Organic Germanium, and the whole spectrum of antioxidant nutrients. Here are today's new, innovative and powerful nutrient formulas, that don't yet fit into a 'category'. As always, Allergy Research Group® obtains raw materials from the finest sources and strives to make their products as free of allergens as possible. * Description of LipoFlow EDTA Liquid - Essential Phospholipids from Allergy Research Group®: LipoFlow EDTA offers primary support for the health of the circulatory system. An optimal circulatory function can benefit every cell in the body. The function and structural integrity of cells depends utterly on good circulation, for the delivery of life-giving nutrients and for the removal of metabolic wastes. Cells in the liver, the heart, the brain, the immune system - in fact, all cells in the body - cannot thrive without good circulation. One basic key to good circulation is healthy lipid levels. * LipoFlow EDTA contains Essential Phospholipids (EPL). The constituents of EPL are natural substances that are absolutely crucial for human health and well being. There is a vast amount of research into EPL, going back over 40 years. Clinical studies of EPL conducted in Europe show that EPL may play an important role in normalizing LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and serum triglycerides, and in supporting healthy HDL cholesterol levels. Other highlights of the research include EPL's potential ability to reverse pathological tissue accumulation from vascular walls, substantially lower cardiovascular risk ratios and increase peripheral brain circulation. For people with angina pain, it may optimize reactive platelet aggregation and increase exercise tolerance. * LipoFlow EDTA contains a blend of highly refined phospholipids (phosphatides). The phospholipids in LipoFlow EDTA are 70% phosphatidylcholine, and 30% phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine. It also contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, primarily the essential linoleic and linolenic fatty acids. The EPL in LipoFlow EDTA is made through a proprietary and costly procedure from natural soy lecithin, but it is not the same as soy lecithin or phospholipids available in pill form. The special process used to make EPL allows it to spontaneously form microscopic cellular structures whose walls are very similar in construction to the actual cell membranes found in the human body. These are the components that form the outer membrane of every living cell. * Phospholipids are vital to basic biological processes. They play roles in cellular energy production, cellular DNA information flow to RNA and to other proteins, intracellular communication (signal transduction), and in maintaining cell membrane integrity. The essential polyunsaturated fatty acids in LipoFlow EDTA can 'fluidize' the cellular membranes, warding off the decline of cellular membrane repair function. This is of key importance in keeping our cells youthful, and supports the function of the liver, and the circulatory, nervous and immune systems. * How does EPL differ from regular phospholipids? In order to be absorbed into the lining of the small intestine, regular phospholipids need to be digested by the pancreatic enzyme phospholipase. The resulting compound (lysolecithin) then needs to be re-acidified back to phosphatides before it can use the lymphatic system to finally arrive in the blood stream. By contrast, EPL has a liposomal structure. Liposomes are tiny cell like structures, in the nanometer size range, that can get through the acidic stomach and then easily absorb from the intestinal tract. The oral delivery system of EPL offers both protection and delivery of their valuable nutrients, approaching the intravenous level of assimilation. * The liposomal structure used in LipoFlow EDTA is the key to EPL's effectiveness. Recent clinical tests have verified that EPL passes through biological membranes directly into the blood stream, effectively bridging the intestinal barrier. LipoFlow EDTA is a nutritional supplement which not only offers the true health benefits of phospholipids, but also inherently contains its own transport mechanism! It is an enhanced form of concentrated beneficial phospholipids, optimized for absorption, and easy to take. * EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a man-made amino acid that is used to remove toxic heavy metals from the body. EDTA is usually delivered intravenously because oral administration is inefficient, delivering only about 5% EDTA into the blood stream. Although time-consuming and expensive, intravenous chelation with EDTA has a low occurrence of side effects, whereas oral doses larger than 500 mg often result in diarrhea. However, when EDTA is encapsulated in EPL microspheres, as in this product, even large doses (2 grams or more) do not produce diarrhea, and over 90% of the EDTA enters the blood stream. * Some believe EDTA can also offer cardiovascular benefits, although the research largely consists of case reports and descriptive studies. The more rigorous studies are considered too small to be conclusive. Enough evidence and interest has accumulated, however, for the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, both components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to launch the first large-scale, multicenter study to determine the safety and efficacy of EDTA chelation therapy for individuals with coronary artery disease. * Several theories have been suggested as to how EDTA chelation might benefit cardiovascular conditions: it may directly remove calcium found in fatty plaques that block the arteries, causing the plaques to break up; it may stimulate the release of a hormone that in turn causes calcium to be removed from the plaques or causes a lowering of cholesterol levels; or it may work by reducing the damaging effects of oxidative stress on the walls of the blood vessels, which could reduce inflammation in the arteries and improve blood vessel function. It is hoped that the NIH study, when concluded, can shed some light on these questions. * References available upon request. Allergy Research Group®, Inc. |
