| FOOD NUTRIENTS |
| nutrient | description - function | general usage |
| Alpha Lipoic Acid | Alpha Lipoic Acid provides more potent antioxidant activity then Vitamins C and E.
It helps prevent healthy cells from getting damaged by unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals. It also assists the B-vitamins in producing energy from the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats consumed through foods.
Plays an integral role in cellular energy production and is a valuable immune system booster. | 100 - 200mg per day |
| L-Carnitine | L-Carnitine is an amino acid-like compound that helps the body produce energy.
It transports fatty acids then converts the fat into energy which the heart, muscles and other body tissues can efficiently utilize.
Carnitine plays a crucial role in metabolic functioning. | 250mg 2-3 times daily |
Co Q10
(ubiquinone) | The body naturally produces CoEnzyme Q10 and is found in every human cell and in all living organisms. Co Q10 works with enzymes to break down and convert food into energy.
It is particularly abundant in high-demanding cells, such as those found in the heart. It appears to support the heart muscle's strenuous efforts to beat 100,000 times a day.
Without adequate levels of this enzyme, the heart muscle can become weaker and less efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.
It also has powerful antioxidant properties to boost the immune system, inhibit artery-clogging plaque buildup and potentially-fatal blood clots. CoEnzyme Q10 helps provide the spark that generates the body's energy on a cellular level. | 60mg
1-2 times daily |
| Colostrum | Colostrum is the "pre-milk" that female mammals secrete prior to producing their milk. It contains beneficial immunoglobulins (antibodies) to help maintain immune support, gastrointestinal health as well as improving exercise performance and recovery.
Bovine Colostrum contains a wide variety of "immune factors" which may be effective against various viruses, bacteria, yeast and other invaders.
There are no known adverse side effects, however those individuals with milk allergies should avoid Colostrum. | 1,000mg 1-2 times daily |
| Chondroitin | Chondroitin is a natural component of the cartilage that "cushions" joints. Chondroitin sulfate helps to block the enzymes that can destroy this crucial tissue.
It can increase joint mobility, possibly slow cartilage loss and assist the body in rebuilding cartilage in some arthritis sufferers.
Chondroitin should not be taken by persons taking blood thinners or a daily aspirin. Use under a doctor's supervision only. | 400mg 2-3 times daily |
| Evening Primrose Oil | Extracted from the Evening Primrose Plant. The therapeutic power contained within the seed oil is an essential fatty acid (EFA) called gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) which has anti-inflammatory and other healing actions.
Taken internally, the body converts GLA into prostaglandins which help regulate various body functions and control inflammation. Cell membranes also rely on the presence of GLA. Evening Primrose Oil, may help to: relieve the discomfort of PMS, menstruation, endometriosis and fibrocystic breasts.
It minimizes premenstrual breast tenderness, irritable bowel flare-ups and carbohydrate cravings. As the body ages, it loses the ability to convert dietary fats in to GLA. Taking Evening Primrose Oil can help to compensate for GLA deficiencies. | 1,000mg 1-2 times daily |
| Flaxseed Oil | The essential fatty acids (EFA), in flaxseed oil are its key healing components. The body needs the EFA's to function properly, but can't manufacture them on its own.
Flaxseeds also contain omega-6 fatty acids and are a rich source of lignans, substances that appear to positively affect hormone-related problems. Flaxseed oil may also help to: lower cholesterol, protect against heart disease and control high blood pressure; treat acne, eczema, psoriasis, sunburn and rosacea;
promote healthy hair and nails; treat menstrual cramps, female infertility and endometriosis; fight prostate problems, male infertility & impotence. Generally, the EFA's work throughout the body to help protect cell membranes. | 1,000mg 2-3 times daily |
| Glucosamine | Glucosamine plays an important role in maintaining cartilage health. It may help to relieve the common symptoms of osteoarthritis: pain, stiffness, & swelling.
Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers report improvements as well. By protecting and reinforcing cartilage, Glucosamine may help to prevent the symptoms of cartilage that has dried out and gradually broken down over time, cracked and flaked off.
When joints are deprived of the cushioning, cartilage provides, painful stiffness and inflammation can develop. Glucosamine appears to protect and strengthen the cartilage around joints, particularly in the knees, hips, spine and hands.
Glucosamine also appears to slow the development of mild to moderately severe osteoarthritis. | 500mg 2-3 times daily |
| Grape Seed Extract | Grape Seed Extract is a powerful antioxidant containing natural, active flavonoids known as OPC (oligomeres procyanodoliques) Proanthocyanidins.
In addition to neutralizing hazardous free radicals, it is particularly valuable for cardiovascular health by protecting the walls of the arteries, capillaries and veins, as well as inhibiting the actions of damaging enzymes to reduce the formation of plaque.
It is beneficial in reducing varicose veins, elevated blood pressure levels, edema (fluid retention) and other common circulatory conditions. | 300mg daily |
| Lycopene | Lycopene provides the red color to tomato products and is one of the major carotenoids. Many recent epidemiological studies have implicated Lycopene in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Scientists hypothesize that Lycopene can positively influence cholesterol metabolism because of its antioxidant properties. Replenishment of the body's Lycopene supply can help bolster the body's defense mechanisms, resulting in greater protection of the body's enzymes, DNA and cellular lipids.
Lycopene eliminates a particularly destructive form of oxidation called free radicals. It is more than twice as powerful as beta-carotene at quenching free radicals. Lycopene is also one of the most abundant carotenoids in human blood serum and is the most abundant carotene in prostate tissue. | 10mg once daily |
| MSM | MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), an organic sulfur compound, is contained in minute amounts in everyone's blood and most foods.
Like other sulfur compounds, it is a necessary building block for proteins, especially those found in the hair, muscles and connective tissue of the joints and skin.
Taken in conjunction with Glucosamine, MSM may be useful for treating chronic back pain resulting from muscle strain or ligament sprain. Some people have found MSM more effective than antihistamines for allergies.
If you are on a blood thinner (anticoagulant), such as aspirin or warfarin (coumadin), consult with your doctor before taking MSM because it can occasionally have a blood-thinning effect. | 1,000mg to 3,000mg daily |
| Omega-3 Fatty Acids | Omega-3 Fatty Acids are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from fish oils...especially Salmon, Tuna, & Mackerel.
The two most potent forms of omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). Studies have demonstrated beneficial effects including lowered serum cholesterol, decreased serum triglycerides and reduced platelet aggregation.
Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids appears to have a valuable cardioprotective effect. It may also help maintain healthy breast tissue and prevent breast cancer. in addition, fish oils demonstrate anti-inflammatory actions, including decreased joint stiffness and swelling.
Studies also suggest fish oils may be effective in treating psoriasis, Raynaud's disease, lupus and relieving menstrual cramps. | Take EPA 300mg & DHA 200mg, 1-2 times daily |
| Papaya Enzyme | Papaya is naturally-rich with powerful 'proteolytic' enzymes which can increase the rate of metabolic action in the body and assist digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fat.
These digestive enzymes include: Papain and Protease - assist protein digestion; Alpha Amylase - assists starch digestion; Lipase - assists fat digestion; Cellulose - major constituent of fruit and vegetable fiber, assists the digestion process.
With its potential for stimulating metabolic activity. Papaya is also being used successfully in weight-control diets. | NO specific daily amount |
| Pine Bark Extract | A natural complex of several potent antioxidants, particularly OPC (proanthocyanidins) flavonoids and nutritive organic acids, providing protective cardiovascular properties and diverse health benefits including:
Antihistamine-like action, improving absorption of Vitamin C, boosting immunity, reducing inflammation, strengthening blood vessel walls, lowering blood pressure & improving circulation. | 30mg to 90mg, 2-3 times daily |
| Soy Isoflavones | Soy Isoflavones are powerful plant substances that have numerous health benefits. Two important isoflavones in soy - Genistein and Daidzein appear to protect against hormone-related disorders such as breast cancer and endometriosis.
Research findings suggest that soy isoflavones may also inhibit cancer-causing enzymes, provide antioxidant protection, and enhance the immune system. Preliminary studies show that regular consumption of soy foods or supplements may protect against hormone-related cancers of the breast and endometrium.
Although more research is needed, researchers speculate that the isoflavone Genistein may block a protein which promotes the growth and proliferation of tumor cells; reduces heart disease risk by lowering harmful cholesterol. Because of their estrogen-like effects, pregnant or nursing women should not take soy isoflavone supplements. | 50mg to 100mg, 1-2 times daily |
