Diabetics - Pycnogenol Delays Glucose Uptake

A new study to be published in an upcoming edition of the journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice reveals that French maritime pine tree extract known as Pycnogenol© (pic-noj-en-all) delays the uptake of glucose from a meal 190 times more than prescription medications, preventing the typical high glucose peak in the blood stream after a meal. The study revealed the pine bark is more potent for suppressing carbohydrate absorption in diabetes than synthetic prescription alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Read more here.

 

Echinacea Being Studied by NIH

The Iowa Center for Research on Botanical Dietary Supplements at Iowa State University, created by the National Institutes of Health, is dedicated to researching Echinacea and will be receiving significant funding from the NIH to do so. The center hopes to find something like a fingerprint of the biologically active chemicals in the herb. Read more here.

 

Biofeedback Explained

Biofeedback is a technique in which people are trained to improve their health by learning to control bodily processes that normally occur involuntarily, such as heart rate blood pressure, muscle tension, and skin temperature. Biofeedback is an effective therapy for many conditions, but it is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, tension headache, migraine headache, chronic pain, and urinary incontinence.

Dear Quantum,

 

Greetings,

 

I am writing to thank you for a wonderful product. I received two samples of the Buzz Away towelettes in the mail. I put it to the test today as I took my two breaks at work.

 

The first break I walked for 15 minutes.  Our building is located next to 3 fields  The morning walk was terrible with gnats, mosquitoes..etc.

 

The second walk was wonderful. I wiped the towelette on my face and neck (where I can't stand gnats). Not one insect bothered me!

 

I will definitely will be using this item this summer!  I love the fact the it is a natural product

 

Maxine K.
