 A.C. Grace Company Expands UNIQUE Product Line With Launch of PURE Omega Krill Oil!
Big Sandy, TX – A.C. Grace Company announced the introduction of UNIQUE OMEGA™ Krill Oil – containing PURE oil from Antarctic Krill, providing an optimal combination of Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and critical antioxidants to support heart and joint health. Unlike fish oil, the Omega-3 fatty acids in UNIQUE OMEGATM Krill Oil are absorbed and carried to the body’s cells in phospholipid form. Phospholipids form the structural basis of cell membranes and are effectively utilized by the body.
“Our customers, including Doctors worldwide who have been using and recommending our UNIQUE E® Vitamin E products for nearly a half-century, asked us to provide an UNIQUE Omega product that they could include in their suggested supplementation protocols,” says Lyn Capps, President of A.C. Grace. “Our product research team found that PURE oil extracted from the Antarctic Krill species Euphausia Superba is rich in Omega-3, mainly in the phospholipid form, and has been found to have antioxidant potency up to 48 times higher than fish oil in terms of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values.”
“The inclusion of UNIQUE OMEGA™ Krill Oil to our product line fits perfectly into our long-standing dedication to PURITY and natural-source products for the maximum benefits to the user. We are thrilled to be able to provide this product to our customers!” Capps continued.
Benefits attributed to Omega-3 include reduced risk and improved treatment outcomes regarding cardiovascular disease and inflammatory joint diseases. Better brain and central nervous system development, improved cognitive functioning, and improved skin health are additional benefits. Research indicates that even more Omega-3 benefits for individuals will be identified and that greater intake can lead to better general health.
In addition, A.C. Grace Company supports the cooperative for sustainable Krill harvesting and management in the Antarctic Ocean. A patented Eco-Harvesting fishing system allows the fishing equipment to remain under water while a continuous stream of water flows through the hose, bringing the Krill live and fresh directly into the factory vessel, which allows for processing of fresh raw material with superior product quality.
“I beta-tested UNIQUE OMEGA™ Krill Oil and experienced results never experienced with standard fish oil Omega-3 products,” stated Jim Harper, President of The Road Back, and author of 13 books about helping people get off psychoactive drugs. “We plan to include this fantastic product in our protocols and congratulate A.C. Grace Company for expanding their product line outside of the Vitamin E market. We know their products are the best available.”
A.C. Grace Company was founded 1962 and is well-known as the Standard in the Vitamin E industry. They have been providing thousands of healthcare professionals in all fields of practice, their patients and consumers worldwide, a line of PURE Multi-E products for nearly a half-century. The company also provides extensive education about the “Truth About Vitamin E by Application Based Science” through mailings and on their website.

Nuclear Disasters: How To Reduce Damage From Exposure To Radiation |
Nuclear disasters:
How can we reduce damage from exposure to radiation?
The world has been watching in horror as the third explosion rocked the earthquake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan. Radioactive material has been leaking out and the anxiety of exposure became a reality after the USS Ronald Reagan, which was conducting disaster relief missions, moved away from the area. Low levels of radiation from airborne radioactivity were detected in Seventeen US Navy helicopter crew members aboard the ship. The events unfolding out of control in Japan bring memories of two other major nuclear accidents in the last 32 years.
The Chernobyl accident in Ukraine took place approximately twenty five years ago, the result of an unauthorized experimental procedure. The resulting fire in the core of the reactor burned for 10 days and released clouds of radioactive smoke and dust that entered the jet stream and were spread to many areas around the world contaminating food, water and air and causing adverse health effects.
The Three Mile Island accident took place in 1979 in the Nuclear Generating Station in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. It was the most significant accident in the history of the American commercial nuclear power generating industry, resulting in the release of radioactive gases.
Is the risk of exposure to radiation decreasing?
At the height of the cold war the major concern was the use of nuclear weapons in a war followed by nuclear accidents like the ones in Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. The end of the cold war was accompanied by the increase in countries and organizations with access to nuclear technology and increasing numbers of nuclear plants for production of energy to substitute for oil. The tragedy in Japan indicates even the best plans may not be sufficient to fully protect against major earthquakes and other natural phenomena. On balance, it is difficult to argue that the risk of exposure is lower today than fifty years ago. Whether higher or lower, however, the current events show that the risk remains and is real.
What can be done to protect from the harmful effects of exposure to radiation? Tocotrienols show major promise.
The US Government has been concerned that population centers and military forces are at risk of exposure to radiation from radiological or nuclear terrorist attacks. Depending on the level of exposure, the effects range from nausea/vomiting to immune system compromise to death. One particularly devastating effect of nonlethal radiation exposure is damage to the immune system which results in infections and death. Exposure to high doses of radiation affects the ability of the body to produce red blood cells and causes major oxidative stress which increases the risk of major chronic diseases and death.
The Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) in Bethesda MD is responsible for developing radioprotectants which are not only effective but also safe for use in large populations. For instance, Amifostine, commercially marketed for use in radiation therapy, is unsuitable for large populations because it has major toxicity.
Two members of the natural vitamin E family, gamma-tocotrienol and delta–tocotrienol are showing great promise as radioprotectants. In its evaluation, AFRRI demonstrated that gamma-tocotrienol administered subcutaneously to mice 24 hours prior to exposure to sub lethal doses of radiation increased survival by over 75% compared to controls. Even at lethal doses of radiation, gamma-tocotrienol dosed mice showed a survival of over 40%. Delta tocotrienol appears to offer similar protection to radiation. The exciting research on these promising compounds continues. The world is waiting and watching.

 A.C. Grace Company Sponsors Speakers at 2009 A4M Show in Las Vegas!
Leading Vitamin E company provides NEW findings based on Application Based Science to support the use of Vitamin E!
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) 25, December, 2009 – A.C. Grace Company, producers of UNIQUE E® products, known as the highest quality Vitamin E supplements available, sponsored two scientists specializing in their fields of Vitamin E research in workshops at the 17th Annual World Anti-Aging Congress and Exposition put on by A4M in Las Vegas, Dec. 10-12.
“Our goal was to provide NEW findings based on Application Based Science to support the use of vitamin E with focus on the TYPE of vitamin E to use, DOSAGE to use, and USE (oral or topical), to enable doctors and nutritionists address condition specific health issues,” stated Lyn Capps, President of A.C. Grace Company.
“We were happy to present two speakers at this year’s show: Barrie Tan, PhD, who spoke about the effectiveness of Annatto Tocotrienols working cooperatively with Mixed Tocopherols to provide the full-spectrum of benefits Vitamin E can offer (abstract available here); and Robert Stuart, PhD, who discussed extensive tests carried out to show how Natural Vitamin E works faster and more effectively than synthetic forms of Vitamin E as it carries across the blood-brain barrier (abstract available here).”
“The interest in Annatto Tocotrienols and PURE, NATURAL Vitamin E products is higher this year than in previous years,” said Capps, “it seemed like everyone attending the show came by our booth to discuss our product line of UNIQUE Vitamin E supplements.”

 Harold & Arlene Brecher list UNIQUE E® as most pure Vitamin E in their book Forty Something Forever!
In their most recent book, Forty Something Forever -- A Consumers Guide to Chelation Therapy and other Heart Savers, Harlod and Arlene Brecher provide the following comment about UNIQUE E®:
"The exceptional [Vitamin E] product, recommended by many holistic doctors (none of whom have any financial interest that we know of) is produced by the A. C. Grace Company [1100 FM 2911], Big Sandy, Texas 75755 - 1-800-833-4368.
"What makes the Grace Company's Vitamin E unique? It is entirely natural, far more potent than chemically altered products, and Certified by Assay to have a reliably uniform dosage potency in each [capsule]. That's good enough for us."
