ALTRUM Prostate Formula Special Edition
 In the May ALTRUM News you’ll learn why A.J.’s Prostate Formula is one of the most popular products for men in the ALTRUM line of nutritional supplements. Every man at some time in his life probably will experience prostate problems. The most common prostate problem for men over the age of 50 is prostate enlargement, known as Benign (non-cancerous) Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH.) According to statistics, by age 60, more than one-half of men have BPH; by age 85, the number climbs to 90 percent.
| Some of the annoying symptoms are: • a hesitant, interrupted, or weak stream of urine
• leaking • urgency • frequent urination, especially at night • reduced sexual function
|
| |
 All of these symptoms can impact your quality of life. That’s why it’s so important to protect your male health. The nutrients in A.J.’s Prostate Formula help stop the onset of or help reverse the effects of BPH. *

CoQ10 Energizes Your Cells |
 Research supports the use of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements to improve the long term health of millions of people who suffer from degenerative diseases associated with aging. That's good news for your heart, muscles, brain, liver, pancreas, kidneys, gums, skin, eyes, immune system and overall health.
CoQ10 is a fat soluble compound best known for its vital function in the production of energy inside cells. It is concentrated in the part of the cell that churns out energy, the mitochondria. CoQ10 also acts as a powerful antioxidant.
Your Heart and CoQ10
Cardiologist, congestive heart failure (CHF) researcher and CoQ10 expert, Peter H. Langsjoen, MD, FACC says: "The heart muscle uses more energy than any other organ in our bodies." Skeletal muscle, the brain, the liver and gum tissue also consume a lot of energy. These organs and tissues require maximum amounts of CoQ10 for the greatest possible energy production for the best health.
What causes CoQ10 deficiency?
Age is a major factor in the development of CoQ10 deficiency. Moreover, elderly people who take statin drugs (used to treat high cholesterol levels) are at an even higher risk of the devastating effects of CoQ10 deficiency. Tissue concentration of CoQ10 drops dramatically with age. One study found: |
-
Heart muscle wall 72 percent decrease in CoQ10
-
Skin (epidermis) 75 percent decrease
-
Adrenal Gland 47 percent decrease
-
Kidneys 35 percent decrease
-
Liver 10 percent decrease
|
Should you supplement with CoQ10?
After 24 years of treating patients with congestive heart failure, Dr. Langsjoen is convinced middle aged people should supplement CoQ10 as a preventative measure.
|
He says it is important to tell your doctor if you are taking CoQ10 because it has been found to enhance the effectiveness of some medications resulting in the need for lower doses. Dr. Langsjoen has seen patients with congestive heart failure who supplement with CoQ10 experience a "gradual lessening of the requirement for many cardiac medications that occurs with the improvement in heart muscle function." He also reports no known side effects or drug interactions among patients who supplement with CoQ10. By using supplemental CoQ10 preventively and therapeutically, a growing body of research shows that you can avoid the long term adverse effects of decreased cellular energy production and impaired antioxidant function.
ALTRUM Coenzyme Q10 (DEQ) provides 30 mg per capsule of CoQ10, a proven cell energizer to help strengthen the heart, support the immune system, keep gums healthy and give you renewed vitality and energy. *
ALTRUM CoQ10 is made from the best form of CoQ10 available. It’s the highest quality source derived from fermentation and consists only of the natural trans configuration, the same as produced by humans. The ALTRUM CoQ10 is a completely natural liposomic fat soluble delivery system clinically shown to increase CoQ10 levels up to four times and is three to four times better absorbed than chewable CoQ10 tablets.
Some therapeutic forms of CoQ10 advertise that theirs is better because they process the CoQ10 into micro beadlets making it watersolubleto get it into the bloodstream quickly. However, there is a cost to this type of processing: the CoQ10 is not retained by the body as effectively. This spikes the CoQ10 up in the blood for three to six hours, but then drops off quicker than the fat soluble Liposomic Q Sorb form of CoQ10 in ALTRUM.
The Liposomic Q Sorb CoQ10 used in the ALTRUM CoQ10 is fat soluble. It is best for daily use because it acts like a “time release” CoQ10 and is delivered like food. Even though it takes longer to assimilate, it persists in the bloodstream for more than 24 hours. This insures there is always enough for the heart and other vital organs. *

AGGRAND – Raise Your Crop Yields
Farmers often face tough odds. Timing and weather conditions can make or break the season.
AGGRAND user Richard Ward beat the effects of bad timing and weather to harvest the highest corn yield he’d ever had using AGGRAND 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer and Natural Liquid Lime on his farm in Seaman, Ohio.
Ward faced especially bad odds last year. He planted his annual corn crop late, in a field that had been used to graze cattle and hadn’t been fertilized in 47 years. No sooner had he planted and fertilized with AGGRAND 4-3-3 than it began to rain. Days of hard rain were followed by weeks of high temperatures (above 100 degrees F) in southern Ohio.
During the hot spell, Ward decided to use a higher concentrate of AGGRAND 4-3-3 and AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime because he knew he could only fertilize once. “I only needed to fertilize once,” Ward said. “The corn never stopped growing.”
Look online at the AGGRAND News Winter 2007 edition for Ward’s complete story and photos of his unusually large ears of corn. While you’re there, check out the many benefits of using AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers. AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers have been approved as organic materials for commercial growers.
AGGRAND Price Adjustment
Effective June 3, 2008, AGGRAND Natural Organic Fertilizer (NOF) and AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash (NKP) will cost more.
The sharp increase in the price of chemical fertilizers has increased demand for natural and organic alternatives, creating an unprecedented demand for the raw materials necessary in the formulation of AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers and driving up costs. In addition, bottles, packaging, etc. used to make AGGRAND products all are affected by the rising cost of oil. AGGRAND makes every effort to maintain the lowest prices possible and has delayed raising prices for as long as possible. However, increased costs of raw materials and packaging have forced AGGRAND to implement a minimal price adjustment, effective June 3. Even with a minimal price adjustment, AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer remains the best and most cost-effective choice on the market, providing a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers that provides superior results.
ALTRUM Health Tip - Nuts for Long Life
Studies show that eating one-quarter cup of nuts five times a week can add years to your life. Tree nuts and peanuts (though technically a legume) are high in beneficial fats, antioxidants and other protective phytochemicals. One study found that women who ate natural peanut butter five or more times a week had a 21 percent reduction in diabetes risk. A nut-rich diet can lower LDL cholesterol by about one-third – the same amount achieved with some statin drugs. Eat a variety – walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc. – to get a greater number of protective phytochemical compounds. Following this recommendation can add 2.5 years to your life.
Our Philosophy
At ALTRUM, we strongly believe aging need not equate with “winding down.” Except for cases where chronic disorders exist, there is no reason to accept anything less than optimal health and vitality in our later years. Most chronic disorders can be avoided if a conscious daily “self care” regimen is implemented early enough in life. ALTRUM provides the very best in nutritional supplements to rejuvenate, regenerate and renew.*
