SPIRULINA

SPIRULINA (Arthrospira Platensis)

Spirulina is microscopic blue-green algae whose cells form the shape of a perfect spiral coil (thus, the name Spirulina, or little spiral). It contains the most remarkable concentration of functional nutrients ever known in any food, plant, grain, or herb.

BENEFITS OF SPIRULINA

Spirulina and Weight Loss - a non-meat product that contains the highest
protein content, along with all the essential nutrients and amino acids, without the unnecessary carbohydrates or fats.
Spirulina and Cholesterol
- Contains Gamma-Linoleic Acid (GLA), which is found uniquely on mother's milk; it promotes heart health and lowers blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Spirulina and Diabetes
- Spirulina has been found to have significant positive effects on people suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Reports indicate that spirulina has the ability to reduce blood sugar levels in the body after 6 to 8 weeks of intake.
Spirulina and Cancer
- Spirulina has long been established to have cancer fighting ingredients and helps boost the immune system.

PINKISH GLOW

 
The Secret to a Pinkish White Skin 


PREMIUM FORMULATION

LYCOPENE is what gives rose its pinkish colour. It’s also naturally found in human skin but gets depleted over time. Lycopene belongs to the family of intensely coloured anti-oxidants known as Carotenoids, which are found within the lipid layers of the skin. It plays a major role in skin health and influences the colour of your skin. Lycopene may be the best free radical scavenger among carotens - it is at least twice as effective an antioxidant as beta carotene.

Health Benefits
• Fighting Cancer – Several studies that eating vegetables rich in lycopene, such as tomatoes or tomato-based products, may reduce the risk of getting cancer. Carotenoids work to protect against cancer and aging-related diseases by acting as an antioxidant to counteract damaging effects of free radicals in tissue.
• Preventing heart diseases – lycopene is found to prevent oxidation of lipids and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and reduced the risk of a person developing atherosclerosis and coronary heart diseases.
• Keeping skin healthy - lycopene may help reduce the damage to the skin caused by UV light during and after sun exposure. Lycopene has the ability to quench free radicals, which are highly reactive compounds that are formed in the body from normal metabolism. As well as from environmental pollutants and radiation.


L-GLUTATHIONE (reduced)

Health Benefits
• Anti-Oxidant – prevent oxidative stress in most cells and help to trap free radicals than can damage DNA and RNA
• Protects tissues by neutralizing free radicals, improves the system, prevent liver and kidney damage.
• Regulation of cellular events - including gene expression, DNA and protein synthesis, cell growth and immune response.
• Increase energy, improve circulation, slow ageing and protect the skin
• Helps counteract the toxic effects of excessive consumption of alcohol and many of the toxic effects of cigarette smoking.


ALPHA LIPOIC ACID

Health Benefits
• ALA works together with Vitamin C & E. Important for growth, helps prevent cell damage and helps the body rid itself of harmful substances.
• ALA may relieves symptoms ( such as pain, burning, itching, tingling and numbness) of peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes.
• ALA lowers blood sugar level and prevents kidney damage associated with diabetes.
• Useful in the treatment of chronic hepatitis by relieving stress on the liver and helps eliminate body toxins.


VITAMIN E / TOCOPHEROL

Why do we need Sodium Ascorbate?
The GLO Gene is absent in many people, scientists believe that this happened around 60 million years ago. The absence of this gene makes us unable to biosynthesize specific enzyme L- gulonolactone oxidase. This is an end stage liver enzyme that bio-converts blood glucose to Ascorbate, this means our bodies cannot produce any Ascorbate. In the long term, a lack of Ascorbate causes our bones to dissolve and teeth to fall out in other words sub-clinical scurvy and a tendency to development of cancer.

Ascorbic Acid is produced in large quantities in almost all animals, e.g. 6 grams a day in a goat, or up to 100grams daily if the goat is stressed. But it is not Ascorbic Acid that our body requires, rather a SALT of Ascorbic Acid. A daily supplementation of Ascorbate several times a day is a simple way to make up for this genetic defect.

Ascorbate is also essential for the hydroxylation of the amino acid Proline which forms hydroxyproline - a major component of collagen. Collagen is an essential structural protein in the body accounting for around a quarter of all the protein in our bodies and is critical to the structural integrity of our bodies.

Linus Pauling PhD (Twice Nobel Laureate) stated "It is highly probable that most people in the world would only receive 1- 2% of the amounts of Ascorbate that would keep them in the best of health".
Robert F Cathcart MD, another medical pioneer who has had great success with Ascorbate, successfully treating over 25,000 patients with large doses, often as high as 150gms per day healing all kinds of chronic degenerative disease.

Dr Klenner UMD FCCP began his Ascorbate studies in the 40's and treated 30 or 40 patients a day in North Carolina until his death in 1984, treating many degenerative diseases. He also found that treating with Ascorbate during pregnancy resulted in a much healthier mom and baby. If a mother takes high dose of Ascorbate in addition to other measures such as folic acid and avoiding cigarettes and alcohol, she will deliver an extremely healthy baby and studies have shown the labour will be quicker and less painful. Giving the child 1 gram of Ascorbate per day up until the age of 10 will bypass all regular childhood diseases including measles, mumps, chicken pox etc as well as common airborne infections.

FIBERICH

 
FIBERICH is a 100% psyllium seed husk that comes from the crushed seeds of the plantago ovata plant.
Psyllium is a natural fiber grain, not related to wheat, that yields 60 to 70 percent soluble fiber, eight times that of oat bran.
BENEFITS:
PROMOTES A HEALTHY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. 
FIBERICH helps eliminate constipation and regulates bowel movement. It can be used regularly, as opposed to harsh stimulant laxatives which should only be used occasionally. It is helpful in chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis, hiatus hernia and diabetes.
HELPS LOWER CHOLESTEROL LEVELS.
FIBERICH binds with cholesterol secreted in bile acids and excretes it before it is absorbed in the bloodstream. Taken as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.

HELPS YOU STAY FIT. 
FIBERICH adds volume to your meals without adding calories, and helps stave of hunger to keep you feeling full longer. Soluble fiber adds bulk to the stomach and absorbs water to form a gel-like substance which produces softer stools.
AIDS IN BLOOD SUGAR MANAGEMENT.
FIBERICH slows down digestion to allow the gradual release of glucose. The slower the digestion of carbohydrates, the slower the increase in blood sugar level because less insulin is needed.
HELPS PREVENT DISEASES. 
FIBERICH acts like a "sponge" that has the ability to absorb toxins in the colon by creating a spongy, gelatinous mass in the bowels. By swelling about 35 to 50 times its size and absorbing water, it breaks down and moves toxic waste matter stuck in the folds and crevices of the bowel. The intestines require an adequate amount of bulk in order for peristalsis to occur. This spongy effect stimulates peristalsis, the rhyth­mic muscular contractions in the bowel that are responsible for the evacuation process. Through this process, a harmful bacterium that survives on human waste passes through the intestines and is eliminated.

GRAPE SEED

 
Grape seed extract and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) clearly possess remarkable antioxidant properties. Their effects on reducing free radical damage and oxidative stress suggest that they may be particularly effective in reducing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and a number of the chronic diseases associated with aging. It is 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E. It is an antiallergenic or antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and it strengthens blood vessels, improves skin and aids in circulation. Researchers have discovered that Grape Seed Extract can help defeat the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which stops the hair follicle growth cycle. Grape Seed Extract can help stimulate healthy hair growth.
