Power E Complex

May 17, 2010 — Long-term, regular use of vitamin E supplements (600 IU”s per day) appears to reduce, by 10%, the risk of chronic obstructive lung disease or COPD in women, according to a new study.

The risk reduction for women on vitamin E supplements (Power E Complex) was equal in people who smoked — the primary risk factor for getting COPD — and people who didn’t, says Anne Hermetet Agler, a PhD candidate at Cornell University and lead author of the study involving women.

Besides acting as a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E is involved in immune system functioning and signaling between cells and other processes in the body. Everything you always wanted to know about Vitamin E

Note from Dr. Marcus Ettinger: Absorption and utilization of Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) is both dose dependent (less is actually more – 400-600 IU’s per day)  and dependent on the levels of HDL’s (good cholesterol) in the blood.  Since women naturally have a higher concentration of HDL’s then men, women will naturally receive more protection from vitamin E supplementation then men.  Below is a recommendation of what I have personally done to help raise HDL levels.

In 21 years of practice and running thousands of lipid panels, I have found that the only way to naturally boost HDL levels, in most people, is to increase the level of Omega 3 fatty acids (ALA, EPA and DHA – Omega 3,6,9), along with adding a high concentration of phospholipids (Non GMO – Lecithin Granules – 2 Tbsp per day ) and cardiovascular exercise (30-45 minutes, 3-4 days/week).

Q: Have there been reports of help with atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, or pulmonary hypertension? I appreciate all the details of ingredients on your website. Also, anything on results with rheumatoid arthritis? I’m investigating Mangosteen and/or Goji for these conditions. I’ve read mangosteen can prevent atherosclerosis, but am wondering if can help with a-fib, cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension – also rheumatoid arthritis which my son has. Also, can Mangosteen (and/or Goji) clear up plaque buildup in our arteries (that we probably don’t even know is there?) Thanks

A: Dear Gayle,

I haven’t read any studies directly relating Goji or Mangosteen in the treatment of those conditions. They do possess plenty of antioxidants which help the body protect and heal itself.

I have had PVC’s since 1995 and have kept them under control with 400IU d-alpha tocopherol, 120mg CoQ10 and 1tblsp wheat germ oil per day.

Read this book (Stop Arthritis – How I defeated it Naturally). It will give you valuable information on arthritis. ISBN 1-58939-426-7. I had the privilege of writing the forward for the book. Also check this out – “Responsibility”.

Sincerely,
