The fat trapper- Chitosan

Sun, 03 May 2009 15:45:22 +0000

Chitosan is an all natural product which is derived from the polysaccharide chitin which is found in shrimps, crabs and other shell fish. Chitosan attaches to fat in the stomach before is metabolized: it binds to the fat and becomes a non-digestible gel which the body cannot absorb. It is then eliminated by the body. Chitosan is best taken 1/2 hour before a meal.

Amino Acids the building bocks of the human body

Amino acids are to protein as individual blocks are to a wall. Because protein is made up of Amino acids they have been called the " building blocks" of the human body. Our muscles, cartilage, bones, organss, skin and even hair are constructed from proteins. There are approximately 80 Amino acids occuring in nature, of these 22 are necessary for proper growth and functioning of the human body. A nmber of these are called essential Amino acids because the body cannot syntesize them and is dependent upon food intake for their availability. We use only the finest purest ingredient in formulating our Amino acid complex and our separate Amino acid tablets and capsules. Amino acid complex - One easy to take tablet contains a balanced blend of all essential Amino acids. Each tablet is formulated to provide a properly proportioned mix of these essential building blocks.

Sub-lingual B12

Vitamin B-12 is important in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. and the disersal if Vitamin A. It is necessary for the production and regeneretion of red blood cells, the normal metabolism of nerve tissue and the syntesis of methioline an dcholine. A vitamin B-12 deficency has been reported as a factor in pernicious anemia as well as many nervous disorders, mental disturbances and motor-coordination difficulties. Beneficts Anyone who has ever received an injection of Vitamin B-12 from their physician may remember how good they felt afterwards ( Vitamin B-12 is an energy "booster " and a fatigue fighter). The problem These same people have probably also noticed that they don't get the same positive results when they take Vitamin B-12 supplemente orally. This is because many people lack one or more of the mucoproteins ( intrisic factor) necessary for the absoption of oral B-12 via the interstinal tract. Even if a person were to take a large dosage of oral B -12 absorption would probably be very low.As matter of fact it has been fairly well established that irrespective of the amount of B-12 taken orally, only approximately 1.2% of that is absorbed. As result, until fairly recently, the only highly effective administration of vitamin B-12 was through an injection given by a medical doctor. The solution The health conscious individual can now obtainthis vital nutirent through daily supplementation of Sub-liongual Vitamin B-12.The correct way to take Sublingualo B-12 is to place the pleasant, berry tasting, sugar free lozenge under your tongue and allow it to dissolve ( approximately five minutes). It is readily absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the buccal cavity under the tongue, thereby eliminating the intrisic factor problem. this same process is used by many people with heart problems that must take nitro-glycerene. The most recent clinical tests revealed a 137% increase in the blood serum B-12 after administration of the sublingual Vitamin B-12! Our sublingual Vitamin B-12 is available in 2000mcg per tablet ( lozenge) dose. We reccomend one per day tablet for most people.

L-Glutamine

L-Glutamine is big news recently as it has been found to be very useful to regulate intestinal function when taken with food. Can help reduce irritation and some types of allergic reaction in the gut [especially helpful for pain associated with ibs]. As a nutrient it is required by every cell in the body. It is now back in force having been overlooked for a long time. Traditionally used by athletes and body builders to increase muscle mass and lose weight. It is found on the market in powder form and capsules, we feel the capsule form is the better one - it has a longer shelf life once open and no unpleasant taste. L-Glutamine 500 MG. Natural Amino Acid CONTAINS NO YEAST, SOY, CORN, WHEAT, BARLEY, STARCH, SUGAR, MILK, COLORING OR PRESERVATIVES EACH CAPSULE CONTAINS: L-Glutamine 500 mg Other Ingredients: Magnesium Stearate and Gelatin Capsule. SUGGESTED USE: Take one or more capsules daily as a dietary supplement.

Co-enzyme Q10

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:01:06 +0000

Co-enzyme Q10 is made within the body, but production falls, as we get older. It is an essential catalyst for energy metabolism. It is also a powerful antioxidant that counteracts harmful free radicals in the body. CoQ- 10 is also found in foods, in particular raw meat, but cooking and pro-cessing tends to destroy it.This substance is particularly popular in Japan, where it is estimated that approximately 6 million people take a supplement daily. the benefits of co-enzyme Q10 are only now beginning to receive the level of recognition they deserve. The History of Co-enzyme Ql0 Co-enzyme Q10 is an essential element in ATP synthesis - the body's basic source of cellular energy. Properties Co-Q-lO plays a very important role at a very fundamental biochemical level as a carrier in a process known as the 'electron transport' chain. This process occurs with each cell and is the method by which the body produces energy. Research There has been extensive research done on Co-Q-10, since the early 1960's, all over the world, particularly in Japan from the mid seventies. It was recognised early on as an important supplement, but it couldn't be produced economically until the latter 1970's. Contra-indications/Precautions There are no known drug interactions or other contra-indications with Co-Enzyme Q-10. The Benefits of Co-Q-l0 Cardiovascular disease: A 75% reduction in the body's Co-Q-10 level leads to the heart ceasing to function properly. Blood pressure: It complements the action of blood pressure reducing drugs. < Gum disease: It has been shown to restore gum health by pre-venting the progress of gum diseases such as Pyrrohea and gingivitis, and increasing the rate ofgum healing. Weight loss: Research has shown that some overweight people have low Co-Q-10 levels. Tissue Hypoxia: A condition leading to conditions such as stomach ulcers. Co-Q-10 has been shown to be effective against this condition. Studies with mice increased their lifespan by 50% with Co-Q-10 supplementation, and extended the youthfulness and ability to ward off infection. Energy booster: Co-Q-10 has been shown to stimulate energy production in people feeling tired or run down. Unfortunately, as we get older the body's levels of co-enzyme Q10 begin to diminish, which is something scientists are yet to ex-plain. However, the implications of this on our well-being are a lot clearer - reduced energy levels and a greater risk of free radical damage. And age isn't the only factor that affects the body's levels of this key nutrient. Strenuous exercise can also deplete levels of co-enzyme Q10, which is why it's now also a popular supplement with athletes.
