Goodelements.com Super Supplements Featured in L.A. Parent for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Goodelements.com super supplements have been featured in L.A. Parent due to the Company’s commitment and support of funding for breast cancer research. The article highlighted the company’s donation of proceeds from supplements sales in the month of October to the Susan G. Kormen Foundation and the important work they are doing to get people involved with the cause.

Through the foundation’s website, average people can help support breast cancer research by signing up for walks, donating to research funds or purchasing items from companies (such as the super supplements from goodelements.com) that donate a portion of their proceeds to the foundation. Doctors and researchers can also use the site to look for grants or submit proposals to fund new research endeavors.

We are truly proud to be associated with such a wonderful foundation, and continue our support for organizations that help promote health and wellness in all areas of life. We look forward to participating again next year.

Lower Your Blood Pressure with Vitamin C

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

January 2, 2009

Are you a young woman who took your Good Elements Essentials or Renewal today? If so, then you enjoyed some Vitamin C – which is linked in a new study with lower blood pressure in young women.

This “strongly suggests that vitamin C is specifically important in maintaining a healthy blood pressure,” lead author Dr. Gladys Block, of the University of California, Berkeley, told Reuters Health.

Previous research linked high plasma levels of vitamin C with lower blood pressure among middle-age and older adults, typically those with higher than optimal blood pressure readings, Block and colleagues report in the Nutrition Journal.

The current study involved 242 black and white women, between 18 and 21 years old, with normal blood pressures, who were participants in the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study. Further analyses of vitamin C and blood pressure changes over the previous year, “also strongly suggested that the people with the highest blood level of vitamin C had the least increase in blood pressure,” Block said.

Since these findings infer a possible association between vitamin C and blood pressure in healthy young adults, Block and colleagues call for further investigations in this population.
