Res-Q Legacy Meets Legend

Omega-3s, also called essential fatty acids or “good fats”, are derived from various animal foods, seafoods, and algae. Research has shown that they are essential for supporting a healthy heart, brain, and the body’s natural inflammatory response system. Res-Q omega-3s are sourced from fresh, coldwater fish and are intended to provide your body with the necessary building blocks for optimal overall health.

There is substantial evidence that taking fish-sourced omega-3s helps your body in numerous ways. The two main omega-3s that are derived from fish are ecosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Why You Need EPA: EPA supports a balanced inflammatory response throughout the body and promotes cardiovascular function. Recent research indicates that chronic inflammation is considered to be a major trigger for disease.

Why You Need DHA: DHA is the most abundant omega-3 in the brain and retina. Cells in your body use it to communicate with each other. DHA is important to brain development and function.

So why do we combine both omega-3s? Research points to a lesser chance of heart disease and reduction in high blood pressure. Plus, a lowering in triglyceride levels in an average of 3 to 6 months.

There is a plant-based omega-3 called ALA, but the benefits occur after your body converts it to EPA and DHA. The conversion process of ALA is not nearly as efficient as getting EPA and DHA directly from fish oil, as your body may be busy converting other fats, like omega-6. On average, only 1 to 10 percent of ALA is converted to EPA and 0.5 to 5 percent is converted into DHA.

So, what is an omega-6?

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is high in omega-6 fatty acids compared to essential omega-3s. Omega-6s are found in vegetable oils, corn, soybean oils, and various seeds. The National Library of Medicine found that excessive amounts of omega-6 can increase the chances of cardiovascular, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases. Balancing omega-3 and omega-6 levels is critical in optimizing a healthy lifestyle.

DID YOU KNOW?

About 60% of the brain is made of fat, and half of that fat is comprised of omega-3 fatty acids. However, if you do not get the proper amount of omega-3s in your diet, your brain cells will begin to build with non-healthy fats.

So, why is this important? The fatty membrane of your cells enables electrical impulses to be conveyed and aids in the transfer of informationcontaining chemicals between neurons. An omega-3 rich membrane is very fluid and maximizes the speed in the transfer of information. A non-healthy membrane is rigid and can lead to the disruption of the informationsharing process in your brain.

That’s why regular consumption of omega-3s helps to insure optimal brain functionality.

Supplementing with omega-3s is one big step toward supporting heart health, brain health, joint comfort, and more. Just two Res-Q 1250 capsules contain the same number of omega-3s as about 3.5 cans of tuna!

What Makes Res-Q Omega-3s U nique?

All of the Res-Q omega-3 products are created to be the superior choice in the natural supplement industry. They have more eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) than almost every other brand. Potency matters when you want results.

EPA and DHA are two scientificallyproven omega-3 fatty acids shown in hundreds of clinical studies to support total body wellness, including heart, brain, joint, eye, blood sugar and mental health. Omega-3s also act as an anti-inflammatory. Poor maintenance of body inflammation is recognized as a major contributor to chronic disease.

A big contributor to the quality of our supplements is the freshness. Our omega-3s are processed in Norway using state-of-the-art technology. They are guaranteed to be fresh with no fishy smell, taste or aftertaste. We use an antioxidant blend to maintain freshness.

Our omega-3 oil is made from wild fish or calamari harvested out of deep ocean waters by fisheries that meet strict environmental standards and

adhere to sustainable fishing practices. Our fish and marine oils are Friend of the Sea certified. Criteria for this certification are well managed sources of fish oil and fishmeal ingredients, traceability, and social accountability. To ensure purity in each batch, we use a third-party laboratory to test all of our omega-3 products. All Res-Q fish and marine oil is certified to be free of environmental toxins, including heavy metals. Each is also certified to contain the amount of omega-3 fatty acids listed on the label, ensuring full potency.

We believe in the power of choice! That’s why we carry a wide range of omega-3 products to address various health concerns and cater to personal preferences. We offer ethyl ester, triglyceride and re-esterified triglyceride forms. Each form differs in the way your body processes the omega-3, which then affects the amount of EPA and DHA needed. However, they all lead to the same long-term health benefits.

Res-Q Legacy Meets Legend

You’re about to meet Frank Luber. You likely don’t know him, but you may have heard his voice on radio… and he’s met at least one of your idols. Frank was lucky enough to begin his dream career in the radio business at age 18, starting at WASL (now WYRE) in Annapolis. Having helped initiate radio station WCBM nearly 32 years ago, he’s met and interviewed an impressive number of celebrities, from Marlon Brando to The Beatles, to Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, and more.

If you’re wishing you’d chosen a different career path right about now, let’s take a look at Frank’s journey to success! In 1968, Frank began as a weekend anchor and field reporter for Channel 13 WJZTV, contributing to the channel’s skyrocketing success to #1 in Baltimore.

In August of 1963, Frank covered footage of the March on Washington, when Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his, “I Have a Dream” speech. Standing next to Frank was none other than Marlon Brando, with whom he discussed social justice.

In 1988, he met the forthcoming owner of WCBM, Nick Mangione, Sr., in Little Italy when WFBR was for sale. After Mr. Mangione expressed an interest in maintaining Talk Radio in Baltimore, Frank helped broker negotiations for WCBM.

Frank was immediately brought on board to begin the start-up of WCBM All Talk Radio in Frank interviewing The Beatles in 1964

Baltimore. He began co-hosting with Joe Lombardo for two years, followed by another two years with co-host, Tom Marr. In 1993, Frank began a 27-year working relationship with Sean Casey for one of the longest, if not the longest, running morning shows in Baltimore history. Sean also works directly with Res-Q, hosting radio shows for years. When Res-Q started advertising on WCBM nearly 25 years ago, Frank felt compelled to try their products, starting with Res-Q 1250 omega-3. He felt the benefits right away and quickly added LDL-XQ10 red yeast rice in order to lower his cholesterol and avoid statins.

His doctor was blown away by the results. Frank accomplished perfect cholesterol levels in 3 months, encouraging his wife to follow suit. Frank informed his cardiologist and family doctor about the Res-Q line of products, particularly 1250 omega-3 and LDL-XQ10. Recent blood tests continue to show exceptional results.

Frank swears that Res-Q 1250 even helped extend his dog’s life! Shortly thereafter, his doctors mentioned hearing great things about Res-Q, and eventually got on board themselves!

In the years following, Frank has been enjoying partial retirement with his wife, Susan, taking the opportunity to travel whenever they can.

Frank continues freelancing with WCBM, recording radio ad spots, voiceovers, and other projects. He maintains his contribution to the news even still, writing for WorldTribune.com in Washington, DC.

Through the radio station, Frank was able to enjoy over 20 cruises and land excursions, reaffirming their love of the sea. But since quarantine, they’ve decided to stay stateside to see what our own country can offer.

Now, Frank and Susan are looking forward to planning their next trip—with their Res-Q regimen in tow!

Quality Omega-3s Cholesterol:

What’s the Connection? &

Omega-3s contribute to nearly every facet of health, but are particularly important when it comes to cholesterol and heart health. In order to achieve health benefits, you need quality omegas at the proper dose.

Res-Q 1250 is essential to our health. Pure, high potency omega-3 fatty acid promotes heart, eye, brain, and bone health. It also helps reduce total cholesterol levels.

Elevated cholesterol coupled with inflammation is a dangerous combination. An endless cycle, cardiovascular inflammation makes arteries more susceptible to damage from cholesterol. In turn, elevated LDL cholesterol can seep into the arterial wall and lead to damage, increased inflammation, and, ultimately, plaque. Omega-3s, specifically EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), soothe inflammation, helping to break the cycle.

Omega-3s are also medically recognized for reducing elevated triglycerides, which account for one-fifth of your total cholesterol number, and have been linked to increased risk of heart disease. The problem? Poor quality fish oil does not contain effectual amounts of the critical omega-3s proven by research (4 g EPA/DHA daily) for cholesterol health. This is why Res-Q has focused for almost 37 years on providing pure, effective, and concentrated omega-3 supplements.

Of the nine Res-Q omega-3 formulas, how can you choose? Overwhelming research shows EPA and DHA omega-3s work best when used in tandem. However, a higher EPA to DHA ratio is best to support a cholesterol health protocol. Res-Q’s O3 MAX and 1250 varieties were designed with this in mind.

A Closer Look

This chart displays Res-Q omega-3 products formulated with a higher EPA to DHA balance for support of reduced inflammation, and optimal cholesterol and heart health.

Values are a per serving measurement

“I recommend Res-Q 1250 because its potent omega-3s help to lower cholesterol, support a healthy mood, and lower inflammation, ultimately reducing your risk of many chronic health conditions.”

Are you working to improve your cholesterol profile? For best results, take one of these Res-Q omega-3s in addition to LDL-XQ10 red yeast rice. Need proof?

Q+A Let’s Talk About CBD! with

Dr. J

Our content writer questioned Dr. Melissa Josselson, ND about the who, what, where, when, and why of CBD. This is what the Doctor said:

How long has CBD been around? Longer than we think?

CBD was discovered in 1940, although humans have been cultivating cannabis sativa for well over 5,000 years. Experiments were conducted in the 1940s and 1950s to test the various extracts of cannabis. Research into CBD’s therapeutic oils gained momentum in the 1980s, when scientists began to research CBD’s effect on epilepsy. CBD oil as we know it, has become widely available in the last few years. Its mass marketing and widespread use coincided with the legalization movement in 2018.

How can CBD improve sleep?

Research has shown CBD can improve both falling and staying asleep. While more research needs to be conducted about specific mechanism of actions, there are two main areas that have come into focus thus far. CBD may lower cortisol levels and decrease inflammation. Elevated cortisol and inflammation (and accompanying pain) in the body can contribute to insomnia.

Anxiety disorders and other mental health disorders can have devastating impacts on overall health and well-being, how does CBD address these?

CBD has been shown to have a positive effect on mood disorders, including anxiety and depression. Animal research offers evidence that the anxiolytic, or anxiety-lowering, and anti-depressive effects of CBD involve the serotonin receptor 5-HT1A. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with mood disorders, including anxiety and depression.

Some research has linked CBD with several benefits for heart health, can CBD lower high blood pressure?

Some studies have suggested that CBD can lower blood pressure. A 2020 study found that CBD may have vasodilatory effects in human and rat arteries. The authors suggested CBD may improve blood flow as it widens blood vessels, which can lower blood pressure. A study in 2017, found that a single dose of CBD lowered blood pressure in individuals who were at rest and under stress.

Can CBD be helpful for relieving anxiety and depression in people who have a dependence on certain drugs?

CBD has shown promise in benefiting issues associated with substance abuse. In one study, individuals that received CBD medication reported less craving after being exposed to the drug cues compared with individuals receiving placebo. In addition, the same individuals that received CBD reported less anxiety after being exposed to drug cues compared with individuals who received placebo. While more research is needed, CBD may be a helpful strategy to help curb addiction.

The World Health Organization has stated that there has been no evidence of public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD, could you highlight the importance of a pure CBD product?

All CBD products are not created equal. The purity and quality of a CBD product can impact the results you feel and its overall health benefits. Many products contain synthetic ingredients or toxins, which can lead to undesirable side effects and harmful impacts on health. Thus, it’s critical to choose a pure CBD product.

Dr. Melissa Josselson, ND earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh. She then earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree (N.D.) from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ, a 4-year graduatelevel naturopathic medical school and one of five accredited schools in the U.S.
