Ray & Terrys Supplementation Quiz - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    If you suffer from jet lag, which nutrient might help?

    • Vitamin C

    • Melatonin

    • Phosphatidylcholine

    • Alpha Lipoic Acid

    Correct Answer
    A. Melatonin
    Explanation
    Often called the "sleep hormone," melatonin levels decrease with age and contribute to the sleep issues that affect many older adults. Sleep deprivation for a prolonged period of time can lead to stress and depression of immune function.
    But the positive effects of melatonin on the body are far greater than merely promotion of sleep.

    Where does resveratrol come from?

    • Grape seeds

    • Pulp of green grapes

    • Skin of red grapes

    • Grape leaves

    Correct Answer
    A. Skin of red grapes
    Explanation
    Resveratrol is a natural compound that is found in the skin of red grapes. It is a type of polyphenol that acts as an antioxidant and has been associated with various health benefits. Resveratrol is also present in other plants, such as peanuts and berries, but it is most commonly associated with red grapes and red wine. The skin of red grapes contains a higher concentration of resveratrol compared to the pulp or seeds, making it the primary source of this compound.

    • Vitamin E

    • Iron

    • Plant sterols

    Correct Answer
    A. Iron
    Explanation
    Ray & Terry recommend the use of supplements such as policosanol, vitamin E and plant sterols to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Excess iron may actually contribute to heart disease.

    Which of these nutrients helps support healthy prostate function?

    • Policosanol

    Correct Answer
    A. Saw Palmetto
    Explanation
    Saw palmetto has been used historically to support healthy urinary and prostate function. It blocks the 5-alpha reductase enzyme from turning testosterone into DHT and may help block the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. Saw Palmetto is one of the natural ingredients found in Ray & Terry's Prostate Support.

    • Policosanol

    Correct Answer
    A. Policosanol
    Explanation
    Derived from sugar cane, policosanol plays a role in maintaining normal levels of HDL ("good" cholesterol) and helps to inhibit the oxidation of LDL ("bad" cholesterol). Policosanol is an important component of Ray & Terry's Cholesterol Therapy.

    Which supplement may enhance resveratrol absorption?

    • Glucosamine

    • Phosphatidylcholine

    • Vitamin C

    • Grape Seed Extract

    Correct Answer
    A. Phosphatidylcholine
    Explanation
    Research suggests taking resveratrol with lecithin can enhance absorption; therefore, if you take a lecithin-derived Phosphatidylcholine supplement (such as Ray & Terry's PC), we recommend that you take it at the same time as resveratrol to enhance absorption.

    • Grape seeds

    • Lab-engineered chemicals

    Correct Answer
    A. Japanese Knotweed
    Explanation
    Japanese Knotweed is the most common source of supplemental resveratrol. Resveratrol is a natural compound found in certain plants, and Japanese Knotweed is known to have high levels of this compound. It is often used as a supplement for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While resveratrol can also be found in grape seeds and beet extract, Japanese Knotweed is the most abundant and easily accessible source of this compound. Lab-engineered chemicals are not a common source of supplemental resveratrol.
