Top Selling Benefits NutaWay Products & Your Health
Overview
Nutraceuticals are natural, bioactive chemical
compounds that have health promoting, disease
preventing or medicinal properties. Nutraceuticals
are usually products with standardized herbal
extracts.
Doctors
today are finding an increased need of safer
treatment options available for their patients
so that they can manage their health without
adverse effects for as long as needed. Similarly,
consumers are deeply concerned about how their
health care is managed, administered and priced.
They are frustrated with the expensive, so-called
high-tech, disease-treatment approach predominant
in modern medicine. The consumer is seeking
complementary or alternative beneficial products.
Nutraceuticals has become increasingly popular
in western world and according to the data:
-
More than half of the
adult population in the United States consumes
some type of dietary supplement. (Griffith
and Thompson, 1998).
-
Sales of nutraceutical products
at the retail level increased from an estimate
of 500 million dollars to approximately
5 billion dollars in 1999, more than double
the amount compared to sales just two years
before (Foster and Tyler 2000; Karch 1999).
-
The growth of the nutraceutical-supplement
industry continues at approx. 30% per year
(Foster and Tyler, 2000).
-
About one third of the
adult U.S. population uses medicinal herbs
as some form of alternative therapy (Foster
and Tyler, 2000; Miller and Murray, 1998).
-
Complementary and Alternative
Medicine (CAM), which includes herbal therapy
as one of its key components, has become
an important source of health care for many
people in the U.S. (Skidmore-Roth 2001;
Pierce 1999). In a study conducted in a
Boston hospital, the use of CAM increased
25% between 1990 and 1997 (Eisenberg, 1998).
-
In a survey conducted
between 1998 and 1999, about 49% of American
adults, some 100 million people, tried remedies
from plants. Of these, 25 million individuals
(24%) considered themselves regular medicinal
herb consumers (Castleman, 2001).

A Major Reason for Impaired Mobility & Increased
Suffering
Impaired and
painful mobility resulting from Osteoarthritis
and related conditions resulting from cartilage
degeneration in joints is a problem affecting
millions of people from different age groups.
Long-term therapy with NSAIDs causes severe
undesirable effects. In view of this, there
is a need for safer & effective treatment
option.

and joint pain.
BPH,
an Increasing Problem in Adult Males
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH),
is a condition that affects approximately 5
to 10 percent of males at age thirty and increases
in incidence to eventually affect more than
90 percent of men over eighty-five years of
age.
The
Role of Prostacare (Saw Palmetto)
Numerous double-blind studies have
shown an extract of Saw Palmetto (BPH-Care)
to significantly improve the signs and symptoms
of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Roughly
90 percent of men with mild to moderate BPH
experience some improvement in symptoms during
the first four to six weeks of therapy. All
major symptoms of BPH are improved, especially
increased night time urination (nocturia). The
clinical evidence in favor of Saw Palmetto (BPH-Care)

Cardiac
Problems & the Risk Factors?
The researchers
estimated that at least ninety of every one
hundred heart attacks are caused by nine controllable
risk factors:
- Increased lipid levels
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes Back

- Abdominal Obesity
- Lack of Physical Activity
- Smoking.
- Low Fruit Consumption
- Low Vegetable Consumption
- Alcohol Intake
The Role
of Cardiocare in Cardiovascular Protection
Garlic,
the ingredient in Cardiocare has been widely
researched and holds undeniable clinical support
for an excellent role in cardiovascular protection.
The benefits of garlic along with its safety
due to natural source make it a compulsory preventive
measure in people demonstrating any of the established
risk factors for a possible cardiac event.for e
Cholesterol
Control, a Challenging Task
Hypercholesterolemia is a widespread problem
and a big challenge for healthcare professionals.
They have to keep cholesterol at desirable levels
while ensuring the safety of the patient for
a longer period. This becomes a difficult task
as the commonly used treatment options are not
safe especially in the long-term.
The Role of Colestocare
(Policosanol)
Policosanol, a novel cholesterol lowering
agent derived from rice wax, not only promises to be at least
as effective as statins, but in several studies
has shown no negative effect of any clinical
or laboratory parameter. Policosanol has recently
been one of the most widely researched molecule
and the clinical data already available makes
it one of the most promising new discoveries. ent for New Div Tag Goes Here
Hepatic
Disorder, a Growing Concern Back
to Top
Liver,
a vital organ in our body is continuously under
threat by viruses, toxins from edibles and certain
drugs. Liver needs protective and regenerative
support, with a greater need while the patient
is suffering from diseases like hepatitis, cirrhosis
or any other liver disorder.
The
Role of Hepatocare (Milk Thistle)
Scientific studies suggest that active
substances in Hepatocare (Milk thistle) protect
the liver from damage caused by viruses, toxins,
alcohol, and certain drugs. The chemical components
of Hepatocare (milk thistle) are referred to
as true hepato-protective or liver friendly.
The capability of Hepatocare (Milk Thistle)
to protect the liver and enhance its function
is largely due to its ability to inhibit certain
factors, which result in liver damage.Content for New Div Tag Goes Here
Cold
& flu, a Common Problem
Common
cold & flu, no matter how simple it sounds,
remains one of the common health ailments affecting
a huge population. Since commonly caused by
virus, antibiotics do not work, and antihistamines
remain the most frequently prescribed medicines
bringing in a range of undesired effects. There
is a need for a treatment, which can be used
at the onset of symptoms to control the cold
& flu problem at an early stage.
The
Role of Immunocare (Echinacea)
Echinacea
has been the subject of over 350 scientific
studies examining its immune-enhancing and infection-fighting
properties. Echinacea have also been shown to
activate white blood cells and promote enhanced
function. Clinical studies have demonstrated
effectiveness in a number of infectious conditions.
In general, Echinacea appears to offer benefit
for all infectious conditions, especially the
common cold and upper respiratory tract infections.
Cerebral
Vascular Insufficiency: The Main Cause of Impaired
Mental Performance
Cerebral
vascular insufficiency is extremely common among
the elderly, resulting in impaired mental performance
with symptoms including short-term memory loss,
vertigo, headache, ringing in the ears, and
depression.
The
Role of NEUROCARE

free radicals to cause:
- Premature ageing
- Hardening of arteries
- Stiffening of the joints
- Arthritis
- Formation of eye cataracts
- Phlebitis, edema & leg swelling
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Increased susceptibility to cancers
The
Role of Oxicare (Grape Seed Extract)
Grape Seed Extract is a natural substance that
has a concentrated source of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin
(PCOs) complexes are known for their free radical
scavenging and antioxidant activity. The antioxidant
activity of Oxicare (Grape seed Extract), PCOs
is considered to be much greater than that of
vitamin C, vitamin E & beta-carotene. This
extraordinary free radical scavenging activity
with its complete safety being a natural medicine
makes Oxicare (Grape Seed Extract) the first
choice when an antioxidant is needed.
Depression,
One of the Widely Prevalent Problem
Hectic
lifestyle has resulted in mild to moderate depression
becoming one of the most frequently encountered
health concern. There is a need for a treatment,
which relieves the patients from depression
bouts, but is devoid of side effects so common
with standard antidepressant drugs.
The
Role of Senticare
Senticare (St. John’s Wort) have
been shown to produce significant antidepressant
effects in numerous double-blind studies involving
over two thousand patients with mild to moderate
depression. The quality of this research, particularly
the studies since 1989, has been judged as acceptable
by even the strictest criteria. Most patients
begin reporting effects within the first two
weeks. The significant antidepressant effect
coupled with unmatched safety makes St. John’s
Wort a treatment of choice in mild to moderate
depression.ntent for New Div Tag Goes Here
Diarrhea
A major reason of mortality in children and
concern in adults
Diarrhea can be a temporary problem caused
by an infection or use of antibiotics, or a
chronic problem like an intestinal disease.
Regardless of the underlying reason, diarrhea
is a leading cause of illness and death amongst
children in Pakistan, as well as major health
concern for adults.
The
Role of Probiotics
A probiotic is an organism which contributes
to the health and ability to fight illness by
maintaining the balance of intestinal flora.
Probiotics are rapidly emerging as a safer and
better alternative to antibiotics in treating
diarrhea worldwide. The potential advantages
of probiotics can be attributed largely to multiple
mechanisms with which probiotics inhibit pathogens
and restore normal gut health. Content or New Div Tag Goes Here
