Multi Action Vitamins™
Healthy Life™
Reinforce and expand the benefits of your “daily multi” supplement with the incredible qualities of resveratrol, grape seed extracts and rare trace minerals.
Why take a mere multi-vitamin/mineral (MVM) combination when you can give it a powerful whole health focus and boost your health to an even higher level?
We have created here a formulation with ingredients that:
-
take care of your daily vitamin needs
-
revitalize your whole metabolism, decreases insulin resistance
-
protect the cardio-vascular system
-
retard brain aging
-
activate the life extension gene
-
fight inflammation
-
help control free radicals
-
improve the fat burning metabolism
-
improve work, play and athletic performance
-
lower the incidence of flu and colds.
Take two capsules in the morning, like any other vitamin, or one capsule with two major meals a day, or when feeling fatigued for additional immediate effects. (The MVM gives an energy boost and the resveratrol scavenges damaging free radicals after the meal.)
This formula contains not only the normally seen vitamins and minerals but also rare trace minerals, practically never included sugars (carbohydrates) and choline in order to truly complete the full spectrum of essential nutrients.
Additionally it contains ingredients that enhance the intended effect of the primary components by increasing their bio-availability and speeding the noticeable effect.
Who needs to take a “Multi-vitamin/mineral formula (MVM)” ?
-
Everybody who does not eat a 100% organic diet consisting mostly of fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains and fish. (Analyses have shown that non organic raised produce is often depleted of trace minerals.)
-
All who want more vitality and energy and consider good health to be more than surviving through an eight hour work day.
-
People interested in maximally slowing down the onset of chronic diseases.
-
Athletes, people involved in extra strenuous projects, whether physical or mental.
-
All who have special needs such as during pregnancy, illnesses, stressful situations, recovering from trauma or surgery, older individuals.
-
Essentially all people since it is virtually impossible to obtain a full complement of vit D, K, trace minerals, selenium, zinc, folic acid, chromium, etc.
Vitamin/Mineral Mix
This is a very up to date and comprehensive formula of daily multiple vitamins and minerals. It not only strives to give the full 100% daily value for essential nutrients, but it also takes into consideration the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences. It includes several significant conditionally essential ingredients that optimize health but for which there is no established daily value yet. Choline, for example, is of great importance to the brain but is not considered to be an essential nutrient by the government offices (although there is ample evidence to support this use). Over 19 of the present components are at 100% DV, exceptions being only required minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium for which such large amounts are needed that making them available in a daily multiple vitamin/mineral would be impractical (see Calcium AM and PM and some of our other products). The vitamin A content is purposely less than 100% DV since this has been found to be a safer amount. Vitamin K, available usually only in the mid range DV’s is present here in full amounts.
Resveratrol
-
Warning needs to be given that most of the data on resveratrol comes from animal studies and some conclusions may not be applicable to humans. However, the body of studies is so overwhelming that Resveratrol in all likelihood will remain one of the most significant healing substances to date.
-
Resveratrol is a so called phenolic compound found in grape skins, mulberries, and certain nuts, largely responsible for the so called “French paradox” which observes that the French in spite of eating relatively large quantities of fat have much less heart disease than would be expected.
-
It is a powerful cardiovascular protector through its anti-oxidant effects, favorable changes in lipid metabolism, desirable changes in blood clotting and platelet aggregation, arterial vasodilation mediated by Nitric Oxide release, induction of the expression of cardio-protective proteins, insulin sensitization and lower levels of inflammatory markers.
-
It is active against tumor cells. Resveratrol, for example, inhibits proliferation of human pancreatic cancer cells, and breast, prostate and kidney cells; however, the exact mechanism of action is not known.
-
The anti-oxidative activity may be important in ameliorating Alzheimer’s disease
-
In animal studies Resveratrol was able to substantially reduce the amount of nerve cell damage after a stroke.
-
Resveratrol activated the longer life, longevity gene, SIRT1. The good news is that it increased the life span of the organism by 70%, an effect seen only with severe calorie restriction. The bad news is that these studies were done only in yeast and rats. Recent news was made by showing that rodents being put on a disease creating diet were not showing any of the expected effects of the excesses when Resveratrol was added to their daily regimen. (in other words they could get away with their indiscretions.)
-
Resveratrol lessens substantially the number of flu and colds. In animal studies it directly inhibited the replication of the influenza virus.
-
Resveratrol has been shown to be safe and non toxic even when taken in large amounts.
-
Resveratrol significantly enhances athletic performance due to its beneficial effect on mitochondria, the power houses of the cells. In animal studies mice fed Resveratrol behaved like trained athletes even though they had not trained any harder then their control counterparts” according to the researchers involved.
-
This formulation contains standardized amounts of trans- resveratrol the form of Resveratrol credited with activating the longevity gene in mammals. At 40mg per capsule this is probably one of the highest amounts available today. (One capsule contains the approximate trans Resveratrol amount found in 30 liters of wine.
Grape Seed Extracts
-
The multiple polyphenols in grape seed extracts act synergistically with Resveratrol although they have powerful actions on their own. 905 of the polyphenols are so called proanthocyanadins
-
They are significant anti-oxidants-50x stronger than vitamin C and 20x stronger than vitamin E
-
They maintain bone structure especially in the jaw
-
They help the sugar metabolism by lowering or eliminating insulin resistance.
-
The polyphenols of grape skins reverse brain cell damage and aging
-
Grape seed extracts seem to enhance recovery after a heart attack
Trace Minerals
Have been included in this formulation because our soils are so depleted of trace minerals due to a chemically based agriculture that supplementation is required. The lack of trace nutrients is all the more vexing since practically no function in the body can progress properly without adequate amounts of trace minerals. We are offering a full spectrum of ionic trace minerals that is low in sodium and free of toxic heavy metals. These trace minerals have been obtained from the Great Salt Lake, an inland sea, where the washout from the rivers, weather, and other geological processes have produced a combination of salts that are ideal for the human physiology. The trace mineral mix is standardized and guaranteed to contain magnesium, boron (!), selenium, lithium, chloride, and more than 70 other trace elements.
Trace amounts of the gem stone emerald have been added in order to utilize the subtle physiological qualities inherent in this natural form of chromium. Traditionally emerald has been associated with energizing the solar plexus, the seat of essential will and metabolic life forces.
Bio-dynamic herbal preparations
The scientist R. Steiner pointed out that a finely dispersed mixture of the six herbs yarrow, chamomile, oak, nettles, dandelion and valerian greatly increase the absorption and utilization of trace and macro minerals. They also strengthen the life energy and reinvigorate tired physiological and metabolic forces.
Bioperine® used in this formulation is a patented form of piperine, an extract of black pepper. It has powerful thermogenic effects increasing the general bio-availability of nutrients from the intestine, increasing their absorption by more then 60%. (Selenium levels are increased by Bioperine® 30%; vitamin B6 levels by 250% !; coenzyme Q levels by 30%; and vitamin C by 200%). It stimulates the release of digestive enzymes, is anti-inflammatory and increases the GI blood flow. It stimulates Central Nervous System activity in the brain stem, improves breathing, and has pain relieving actions.
It was known in traditional medicine as a nerve tonic.
Bioperine and its thermogenic effect: Piperine increases the blood circulation to the intestine. It is involved in the stimulation and secretion of epinephrine from the adrenal gland. This leads to the production of heat energy.
Cellular studies showed an increase in the activity of mitochondrial enzymes, ATPases, which release stored energy from ATP. Piperine has a thermogenic effect that can be characterized as diet induced thermogenesis. While Bioperine is thermogenic, it is also a thermonutrient – a substance that stimulates metabolism and thermogenesis in conjunction with increased nutrient absorption.
Bioperine and nerves: Bioperine is a stimulant and nervine. The stimulating activity has been postulated to occur in the brain stem controlling vital centers such as respiratory, circulation and the biological cycle of sleeping and waking. Piperine, for example, reverses respiratory depression. Piperine increases pain relieving beta-endorphins in the brain. Endorphins dull the sense of pain and reduce the effects of trauma. They lessen the sense for hunger and thirst and increase our sex drive.
Bioperine and the gastro-intestinal tract:
-
Increases the amount of mucosal pancreatic secretions.
-
Reduces gastric acid secretions and ulcerations.
-
Interacts directly with the cells of the small intestine increasing their ability to absorb amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine and valine. The probable mechanism is stimulation of the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme. This cycle is important in the absorption of various other amino acids, other peptides and trace elements. The effect on GGT is extremely important in detoxification processes in the body. In related observations it was found that administration of piperine prevents depletion of glutathione (a crucial substance) probably in part by increasing the absorption of the sulfur containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. People with good health had reportedly higher concentrations of glutathione.
5M™ Pentas™
This interesting combination of five salts and trace minerals from slate, porphyry, apatite, and sulfur has an important energetic role. Interpreting the research done by R. Steiner one can say that it conveys a sense of stability in one’s body, of inner confidence and mental clarity.
Glyco Pentas ™ is a unique, proprietary blend of all eight glyco-nutrients (complex sugars) needed by the body to significantly support well being, energy, cell repair and the immune system. Glyconutrients are a new class of nutrients that are usually missing to some degree in the average diet. The body needs the following eight sugars in order to properly function: glucose, galactose, fucose, mannose, xylose, N-acetyl-neuramic acid, N-acetyl glucosamine, and N-acetyl-galactosamine. While under ideal and unstressed conditions the body can physiologically synthesize all other sugars from glucose, this may not occur at all or may only partially occur when there is a psychological or physical stress in the organism. Thus these eight sugars as a group can be called conditionally essential.
Glyconutrients are vital to the communications between cells and improve all bodily functions including the immune system, anti-oxidant function and tissue repair. In this product, all eight glyconutrients are offered together in order to maintain a healthy immune system, strong connective tissues; nutritionally support the fight against inflammations, fibromyalgia, diabetes, recurrent infections, auto immune diseases, obesity/metabolic syndrome and other chronic illnesses.
These glyconutrients have been energetically enhanced through the Pentas™ process and include a valuable natural silica plus Raftilose, a natural prebiotic, which increases bioavailability and improves intestinal absorption and function.
