X-Action Reloaded
(60 caps)
Benefits:
* May help increase blood flow, thereby supporting the entire circulatory
system.
* Provides powerful support for sexual health.
* May support male glandular function.
* Provides natural, drug-free support.
Age, stress and other factors can affect intimacy and put strain on an otherwise-healthy relationship. Men’s X-Action Reloaded supports male sexual health and vitality, which can lead to greater intimacy and stronger relationships.
This formula contains a proprietary blend that offers support for male sexual health in three ways: ingredients support blood flow, sexual desire and prolonged sexual response. Erectile function is principally mediated by relaxation of smooth muscle and increased blood flow within the corpus cavernosum. Smooth muscle relaxation is caused by increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP is triggered by the production of nitric oxide (NO). Pomegranate, l-arginine and epimedium leaf extract all produce the catalyst for NO, the enzyme nitric oxide synthase.
Once sexual response is achieved, the body releases an enzyme
phosphodiesterase type V (PDE-5). This enzyme reverses cGMP and causes the male
sexual response to subside. A single icariin compound found in epimedium leaf
extract has been shown to inhibit PDE-5, thus prolonging the sexual response.
This formula contains l-arginine, damiana leaf, muira puama stem extract,
oatstraw extract, saw palmetto fruit, epimedium leaf extract standardized for
icariin content, maca root extract, pomegranate fruit extract, yohimbe root bark
extract and DHEA.

Boosting the Immune System
Fall and winter tend to hit us hard. This season, get your
immune system in shape before it is assaulted. Or if it’s too late, there’s no
reason you can’t give your immune system a much-needed boost with NSP’s newest
products to support immunity.
Sunshine Heroes Elderberry
Immune
Fall and winter months can be especially challenging for children. Their
immune systems are not fully developed; their picky diets often lack the
vitamins and nutrients they need to stay healthy; and schoolrooms are full of
potential trouble spots. Sunshine Heroes Elderberry Immune to the rescue!
Elderberry Immune children’s soft chews provide key vitamins and minerals that
play essential roles in building and maintaining healthy immune function.
Ingredients: vitamin D3, vitamin C, zinc, elderberry fruit extract,
astragalus root, echinacea
root extract, reishi mushroom and maitake mushroom. Elderberry Immune also
contains the beneficial Sunshine Heroes Protector Shield Blend.
Elderberry D3fense
Elderberry D3fense is a unique blend specifically formulated to support the
immune system. It contains a healthy dose of vitamin D3, which mounting research
indicates strengthens the immune system, along with elderberry fruit extract and
Echinacea purpurea. Elderberry D3fense also contains willow bark extract, which
contains for its immune-supporting qualities; and royal jelly, a nutrient-dense
substance secreted by the honey bee and containing fats, carbohydrates, amino
acids and vitamins.

immunity. Now you can take your defense wherever you go. Solstic Immune is the

Zinc Cold & Flu
A natural homeopathic medicine in quick-dissolving lozenges!
Just as the seasons change to fall and winter and cold air sets in, our
bodies go into immune battle mode to fight germs and stay healthy. Almost
invariably, many of us catch a cold and experience sore throat, stuffy nose and
coughing.
Now you can minimize your cold “down time” with Zinc Cold & Flu lozenges. The
mineral zinc boosts the immune system. It also coats the mouth and throat,
preventing some germs from taking up residence there. When unwanted invaders
can’t get a strong foothold in the mouth or throat, they often struggle to
proliferate, and you come off conqueror.
Zinc Cold & Flu homeopathic lozenges feature zinc gluconate and zinc acetate
(2x). They dissolve quickly and are easy for children to take. For best results,
use at the first sign of a cold to help reduce duration, severity and minor
discomfort of cold symptoms.
This product is recommended for adults and children 3 years of age and older.
Take one lozenge every 3–5 hours until symptoms are relieved. For children under
3, consult your health care professional.
Active Ingredients: Zincum gluconium (zinc gluconate) 2x, Zincum acetium (Zinc
acetate) 2x. Other ingredients include ascorbic acid, mannitol, natural orange
flavor and stevia leaf extract.
New Formula Thai-Go®
Antioxidant Drink: Stronger, Better, Tastier
Able to Leap to the Aid of Your Immune and Circulatory Systems in a Single Day
In July, NSP strengthened its formula for best-selling Thai-Go by adding
açai berries and pomegranate juice to the mix. These two fruits have been
increasing in popularity in the marketplace and are known for their powerful
immune-system benefits and antioxidant capabilities. Açai berries contain
anthocyanins. They support blood flow and help maintain cholesterol levels
already within the normal range. Açai berries may also support the body’s
natural cleansing functions.
Pomegranate fruit contains polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins, all of which are beneficial antioxidants. It may support cholesterol and blood pressure levels already within the normal range and may facilitate getting oxygen to the heart.
NSP sent samples of our new Thai-Go formula to Brunswick Labs for testing, and
they found that the ORAC score* of the new formula is nearly 14% higher than the
original, powerful Thai-Go. So it’s even more effective at neutralizing free
radicals and supporting the immune system.
*ORAC is a measure of the antioxidant capacity of a food or beverage

Nature’s
Fresh Laundry Soap
Clean Clothes without all the
Extras
Doing laundry is something none of us can avoid. No matter what size your
household is, chances are you have clothes in the washer at least a couple of
days a week. But what else goes into your washer?
Laundry detergents typically contain all sorts of chemistry lab ingredients.
These may include dioxane, phosphates, linear alkyl sulfonates, ammonia,
chlorine and more. Wow. There’s nothing natural about these ingredients. Some of
them can be quite harmful to humans and to the environment. Do you really want
this stuff in your family’s clothing?
Nature’s Fresh Laundry
Soap is all-natural, concentrated (2x), low-sudsing, scent free soap.
The plant-based cleaning agents gently clean fabrics and effectively remove dirt
and stains. Its neutral pH means it is as close to water as you can get. And it
is safe
and effective for washing in all temperatures. This product is suitable for use
in high efficiency (HE) washing machines.
Contains: purified water and 100% natural anionic
coconut kernel oil-based surfactant. (50 fl. oz.)
Nature’s Fresh Fabric Brightener
and Oxygen-Powered Stain Remover
Give Your Laundry a Brightening Boost. Nature’s Fresh Fabric Brightener uses the power of oxygen to brighten fabric, eliminate odors and remove stains, without the toxicity of hazardous and toxic bleaching agents. This brightener is safe for colored fabrics and most water-washable items and surfaces. Use in the washer for everyday brightening, or use as a concentrated solution for tougher stains. Safe on all fabrics.
Contains: sodium percarbonate and sodium carbonate. (3.2 lbs)
What are Sodium Percarbonate and Sodium Carbonate?
- Sodium percasrbonate is a blend of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide; it
breaks down into sodium carbonate, oxygen and water. As a fabric brightener,
sodium percarbonate works by releasing oxygen, which breaks the bond of
chromophore (the part of a molecule that has color), changing the molecule to
either have no color or reflect color outside the visible spectrum.
Sodium carbonate, sometimes called soda ash or washing soda, is
a sodium salt. It softens the calcium salts found in hard water, which interfere
with the cleaning actions of laundry soaps.
What About Chlorine Bleach? - The fabric
brightening properties of chlorine bleach also rely on the release of oxygen to
break chromaphores. But ther is one important difference. In water, chlorine
breaks into oxygen and hydrochloric acid, which is highly corrosive and toxic.
Nature’s Fresh Dryer Sheets
Soft and Fresh the Natural Way We all love the softness of laundry that’s fresh out of the dryer. A cozy sweatshirt or your favorite towel feels great when it’s super-soft, not scratchy. But typical dryer sheets are loaded with chemicals and perfumes that can irritate people with sensitive skin. And many of the fragrances can be overwhelming. Plus some dryer sheets can actually leave a coating on your lint screen that makes it clog and may cause ventilation problems for your appliance.
Nature’s
Fresh Dryer Sheets are made from all-natural, biodegradable bamboo
fiber. These dryer sheets are free from harmful softening agents and strong
chemical fragrances. They simply soften and help freshen your clothes and linens
naturally while they remove static. Enjoy a light Sunshine Blend Essential Oil
fragrance (lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit). (50 6x8")
SOME OF THE CHEMICALS FOUND IN POPULAR FABRIC SOFTENERS
AND DRYER SHEETS:
* Benzyl Acetate: linked to pancreatic cancer
* Benzyl Alcohol: Upper respiratory tract irritant
* A-Terpineol: Can cause fatal edema, and central nervous system damage
* Ethyl Acetate: A narcotic on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste List
* Chloroform: Neurotixic, anestetic and carcinogenic
* Lanalool: A narcotic that causes central nervous system disorders
* Pentane: A chemical known to be harmful if inhaled
Nature’s Fresh Dish Soap
Refreshing, Natural Suds
Nature’s Fresh Dish
Soap is free from unfriendly cleaning agents such as phosphates and
chlorine that are commonly found in dish soaps. Enjoy the fresh citrus scent of
Sunshine Essential Oil Blend as you wash your dishes. This blend of citrus
essential oils
not only helps clean and break up grease, its citrus scent lifts your spirits
while you wash. Also, use as a hand soap.
Contains: purified water, coconut oil-derived surfactants and 100%
pure Sunshine Essential Oil Blend [lemon oil, (Citrus limonum), lime oil (Citrus
aurantifolia), orange oil (Citrus sinensis) and grapefruit oil (Citrus paradisi)].
(28 oz)
BY COMPARISON - A leading dish soap contains
the following ingredients: triclosan, water, magnesium, sodium dodecylbenzene
sulfonate, ammonium laureth sulfate, lauryl polyglucose, lauramidopropylamine
oxide, SD Alcohol 3A, sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium chloride, fragrance,
pentasodium pentetate, sodium bisulfite, quaternium 15, D&C Orange 4.
Need some help deciphering the ingredients?
*Triclosan is used in many liquid soaps fo its antibacterial properties and
the fact that it degrades very slowly, making it quite effective in killing
germs because it stays on the dish or your hands after rinsing and drying, but
also making it terrible for our environment. Also kill our immune systems.
* SD Alcohol 3A is a grain alcohol and considered potentially toxic. There is
some evidence it causes cancer.
* Sodium xylenol sulfonate is a chemical thought to be carcinogenic. It can
cause eye and skin irritation, diarrhea, vomiting and contact dermatitis.
* Quaternium is a preservative.

NSP Introduces Two New Products
Krill Oil: Krill are tiny crustaceans that are a critical food source for whales, seals, penguins, and other ocean animals. Antarctic Krill oil provides a highly bioavailable source of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
· Supports cardiovascular and brain health
· Strengthens cell membranes allowing better transfer of nutrients and wastes in and out of the cells
· Provides joint and skin support
· Is a natural source of antioxidant carotenoids
CO-Q10- 50 mgs: New 50 mg coenzyme Q-10 is eight times more bioavailable than standard Co-Q 10. Our patented lipid blend increases bioavailability because it prevents the crystallization of the product. Nature’s Sunshine Products has exclusive rights to this formulation. Health benefits include:
Reduces oxidative stress in all cell
Supports health of heart, kidneys, liver, and pancreas
Supports energy production
Improves the gum when there is periodontal disease
CoQ10 deficiencies are being discovered in a wide range of problems including heart diseases, diabetes, immune deficiency, obesity, high blood pressure, gum disease, ulcers, allergies, reduced mental function, and muscular dystrophy. Of course, energy efficiency also improves physical endurance and performance.
"Insufficient serum blood levels and tissue deficiencies of CoQ10 have been demonstrated in a wide variety of cardiovascular diseases, including angina pectoris, aortic valvular disease, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), mitral valve prolapse, and even in individuals following coronary artery bypass surgery. In addition, research has consistently confirmed a strong correlation between the severity of heart failure and low blood and tissues levels of CoQ10. This should come as no surprise, since the heart requires the highest amount of ATP activity in order to support its constant aerobic function (pulsation). Thus, sufficient levels of CoQ10 are essential for a healthy heart and critical for a failing heart." (Source: HART Toolkit, 1999 www.herballure.com)
As we age, CoQ10 levels begin to drop and the heart muscle has to make do with less CoQ10. This creates a condition of low performance, much like an automobile trying to run on 60‑octane fuel. When the muscle has insufficient energy, some fibers become weak or die. Without 100% function, the most important muscle in the body becomes compromised and begins to fail usually preceded by noticeable changes in heart activity. Congestive heart failure is always associated with the heart's decreased pumping ability and reduced levels of coenzyme Q10.
Important note: Statin drugs and Red Rice Yeast deplete Co-Q 10 levels so always supplement with at least 100 mg. of daily CoQ 10 if you use either of these products.
Supplementing with CoQ10 has no known side effects, even in high doses.

THE RISK OF TOO LITTLE VITAMIN D
Researchers may be worried about high doses of folic acid and selenium, but when
it comes to vitamin D,
they worry that we're getting too little.
"The vitamin D studies are all coming back with
good news," says Reinhold Vieth, a professor of nutritional sciences and of
laboratory medicine and patho-biology at the University of Toronto.
Vieth is one of a growing number of experts who argue that the current
Recommended Dietary Allowances for vitamin D should be higher. The RDAs for
adults range from 200 IU (if you're 50 or younger) to 600 IU (if you're over
70). Most multivitamins have 400 IU (the RDA for people to 70).
"I flat-out recommend that people take 1,000 IU
a day all the time," says Vieth. "There's no downside."
BONES & MUSCLES
The strongest evidence for higher intakes
comes from trials that gave older people vitamin D (often with calcium) to
prevent bone fractures or falls or to boost muscle strength.
"Trials that gave people only 400 IU a day did
not show an effect," says Bess Dawson-Hughes, director of the Bone Metabolism
Laboratory at the Jean Mayer U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition
Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.
"Trials that had positive results gave people bigger doses."
How much vitamin D is enough? "For the average older person, it's 800 to 1,000 IU a day," says Dawson-Hughes, who is also past-president of the National Osteoporosis Foundation. "That's the average amount needed to get the 25 hydroxy vitamin D blood level up to 75 nanomoles per liter."
That's the level that lowers the risk of
breaking a hip or other bone (but not the spine, which isn't affected by vitamin
D). "It's also the ballpark minimum for improving muscle performance and
preventing falls," adds Dawson-Hughes.
It's easy to see how vitamin D could prevent fractures. Researchers have long
known that it boosts bone mineral density, in part by helping the body absorb
calcium from foods.
But muscle? "Biopsies show enlarged fast-twitch
muscle fibers in people who are treated with vitamin D," explains Dawson-Hughes.
Stronger muscles helps explain why trials have found a 35 percent lower risk of
falls in older people who are given 800 IU a day of vitamin D. But that's not
the whole story.
"Vitamin D may also be affecting balance because we know it has effects in the brain," suggests Dawson-Hughes. "There are vitamin D receptors just about everywhere you look in the brain."
Vitamin D's impact on bone and muscle is backed
by the strongest evidence, and that's enough to recommend that people take 1,000
IU a day. In the meantime, studies examining the vitamin's impact on other
diseases are coming fast and furious.
"The whole field is blowing open," says Dawson-Hughes. "It's very exciting."
BEYOND BONES
A month doesn't go by without new reports that vitamin D may lower other risks:
• Cancer. There's some evidence that people with higher blood levels of
vitamin D have a lower risk of cancers of the breast and prostate. But overall,
says Dawson-Hughes, "there's much more evidence for colon cancer."
For example, men in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study and women in the Nurses' Health Study who had higher blood vitamin D levels in 1993 had roughly half the risk of colon cancer over the next 8 to 11 years than those with lower blood leve1s.
But in 2006, the Women's Health Initiative reported that the roughly 18,000 women who were randomly assigned to take vitamin D (400 IU a day) for seven years had no lower risk of colon cancer than the 18,000 who took a placebo. End of discussion? No.
"The dose wasn't high enough and people weren't taking their pills enough," says the University of Toronto's Reinhold Vieth. Virtually all of the women had blood vitamin D levels lower than 75 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). In fact, when researchers looked at all the women, whether they were told to take vitamin D or the placebo, those with levels under 31 nmol/L had 2 ½ times the risk of those with at least 58 nmol/L. "There was a substantial reduction in colon cancer as blood levels of vitamin D went up," Vieth notes. But the drop wasn't related to whether women were told to take vitamin D, he adds, because "the dose was trivial and people weren't compliant enough."
• Diabetes. After reviewing a number of studies, experts estimated that people with higher blood levels of vitamin D had a 64 percent lower risk of diabetes than people with lower levels.
"Vitamin D is needed for optimal insulin secretion," says Tufts' Bess Dawson-Hughes. "And vitamin D may also influence responsiveness to insulin."
• Periodontal disease. When researchers used probes to poke around more than 77,000 teeth in 6,700 people aged 13 to 90, the gums of those whose blood vitamin D levels averaged 100 nmol/L were 20 percent less likely to bleed than the gums of those whose levels averaged 32 nmol/L.
"The evidence on gingivitis and tooth loss suggests that vitamin D influences oral health by decreasing inflammation," explains Dawson-Hughes.
And in a trial that gave 145 older people a
placebo or 700 IU a day of
vitamin D enough to
raise their blood
levels from 71 to 112 nmol/L the vitamin D takers had 60 percent lower risk of
tooth loss..
• Mental function. A few small studies have suggested that low vitamin D blood levels are linked to poor scores on thinking and memory tests. ''It's looking like low vitamin D contributes to poor mental function in the elderly," says Dawson-Hughes .
• Arthritis. In 1996, researchers reported that people who had osteoarthritis in their knees were three times more likely to get worse if they had low blood vitamin D levels. But a recent study didn't find a link..
"There's a large vitamin D trial at Tufts to see what happens to osteoarthritis of the knee," says Dawson-Hughes. Scientists are putting 144 people with arthritis in their knees on either vitamin D (2,000 IU a day) or a placebo for two years .
• Multiple sclerosis. When researchers compared blood vitamin D levels of 257 Army and Navy recruits who were later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis to the blood levels of 514 recruits who remained free of the disease, the risk of MS was 62 percent lower in those with the highest vitamin D levels (they averaged 99 nmol/L).
"There's research on a number of autoimmune diseases, but so far, multiple sclerosis is the most highly linked to vitamin D," says Dawson-Hughes.
Why would one
vitamin affect so many systems?
"A lot of different tissues have the ability to make the
vitamin D hormone because
it's a signaling molecule, The quality of communication between cells is
determined by the vitamin D because it's the raw material for the message
",explains Vieth. In contrast, there's no shortage of raw material to make other
hormones.
"Testosterone and estrogen, for example, are made from cholesterol, which E circulates in the bloodstream in abundance, so you don't have to worry about supply," says Vieth. "Circulating levels of cholesterol are about 5 million nanomoles per liter, but for vitamin D, they're about 100 nanomoles per liter."
It's plausible that vitamin D could matter so
much because the body can make it from the sun's ultraviolet light, which was
never scarce when humans were evolving. "Throughout most of evolution we lived
in the tropics," explains Vieth.
Still, what researchers are learning about folic acid and selenium raises the
question: Should people worry about taking too much vitamin D? "If you're
talking about vitamin D toxicity, you're talking about gross excess," says
Vieth. "I tend to be pretty blase about vitamin D toxicity because it has always
been industrial scale goof-ups when somebody makes a mistake and adds a
milligram instead of a microgram to foods or supplements."
Vieth recently gave mega-doses ranging from 4,000 to 40,000 IU a day of vitamin D to 12 patients with multiple sclerosis. 1 5 After 28 weeks, their blood levels rose to an average of 386 nmol/L, but extensive blood tests found no problems. "We raised the vitamin D to very high levels and nothing happened," says Vieth.
It's easier to get 1,000 IU of vitamin D from a
supplement than from fortified foods or from sunlight
Vitamin D only causes
toxicity if it raises levels of calcium in the blood.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Shoot for a total of 1,000 IU a day of
vitamin D3 (cholecaliferol) from your multivitamin plus an extra vitamin D
supplement combined. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is only about half as potent.
If you want to know your blood vitamin D level, make sure your doctor test 25-hydroxyvitamin D. The levels should be at least 75 nmol/L (or 30 ng/L) and ideally 90 to 100 nmol/L (36 to 40 ng/L). “But for that to happen, you have to saturate all the vitamin D carriers in the bloodstream,” explains Vieth. “Less than one-fourth of the carrier proteins are normally occupied so you have to throw in huge excesses to overwhelm the system.”
Could vitamin D have some unexpected adverse effect at lower doses?
So far, the only clue on the horizon comes from a study of Finnish smokers in which men with higher blood levels of vitamin D had a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. But those results might not apply to non-smokers. For example, a study of roughly 46,000 US men and 75,000 US women found that higher vitamin D intakes were linked to a lower risk of pancreatic cancer. And Finland is so far north that it may be unusual. “Vitamin D levels go up and down in Scandinavian,” notes Vieth.
“They’re never in a steady state, as they should
be.” And he adds, studies show lower overall cancer rates and death rates in
people with higher vitam D levels in their blood. In any case, Vieth has urged
the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine to raise the Upper
Level-the highest safe dose to take regularly-for vitamin D. “The UL should be
10,000 IU, rather than the current 2,000 IU.
In the meantime, says Vieth, taking 1,000 IU a day would raise the average
person’s blood level of vitamin D to 75 nmol/L.
Forget, cancer, forget everything-the evidence of bone alone directs people to
get 1,000 IU a day,” he argues. “How many reasons do you need?”

Vitamin D3 (60 caps)
November 2007
NATURE’S SUNSHINE OFFERS NEW AND IMPROVED PRODUCTS
VITAMIN D3: The body
manufactures Vitamin D through sun exposure, which makes it difficult to obtain
adequate amounts of vitamin D during cloudy or winter months. Vitamin D comes in
two forms, D2 and D3. Of the two, D3 is more bioactive.
In the body, vitamin D is responsible for maintaining normal blood
levels of calcium and phosphorus and for helping to build strong bones.
Vitamin D works with other vitamins, minerals and hormones to promote bone
mineralization. Additionally, research shows that vitamin D may help support a
healthy immune system.
NSP new product,
Vitamin D3 contains 2,000 IU natural vitamin D3 derived from lanolin
harvested from the wool fat of sheep from New Zealand and Australia. These
animals are certified BSE-free.
Nature’s Sunshine has improved Cardio Assurance by adding Vitamin K2 and resveratrol to this already powerful formula. Blood Pressurex now contains a unique form of grape seed extract containing an array of bioflavonoids, antioxidants and polyphenols, including resveratrol. And SugarReg now contains cinnamon extract, which appears to have a positive effect on blood glucose levels. To learn more about any of these products, click on the following Fact Sheet links:
Silver Shield with Aqua Sol Technology (8-09)
The number of bacteria, yeast and fungi that surround us is alarming. We need a
means of defense—a coat of armor—to protect ourselves and support our immune
systems.
Silver Shield with Aqua Sol Technology provides 14 ppm of silver that stays
suspended in purified deionized water to guard you from the microscopic foreign
invaders that surround us. Recent studies by major universities have shown
Silver Shield with Aqua Sol Technology to be effective against a wide array of
body invaders.
Silver products have been marketed for decades. The problem with earlier
versions is that high amounts of silver were needed to be effective. At times,
this led to toxic levels in the body. However, NSP’s patented Aqua Sol
Technology uses a nano-sized core of elemental silver with a silver oxide
coating, which passes through the body unmetabolized, meaning that it does not
produce toxic metabolites. According to experts, much of the ingested Silver
Shield is excreted within 24 hours.
* NSP’s Aqua Sol Technology—the manner in which silver particles with an
interior of elemental silver and an exterior of ionic silver oxide is placed in
a colloidal suspension in water—has recently been patented.
* 83 scientific studies have been conducted using Silver Shield with Aqua Sol
Technology.
“This is one of the most exciting products in the entire NSP line. You could
build an entire successline with this one product. It’s powerful and effective.
In fact, since I attended a Silver Shield educational meeting in June, sales in
my successline have nearly doubled. Silver Shield has rejuvenated my business.”

...Your simple foundation for super nutrition (8-07)
by Darlyn Britt
Nature’s Sunshine introduces
Super Trio, a
convenient daily packet program that helps you maintain your body’s health with
vital nutrition and supplements.
Super Trio contains our
brand-new, exclusive Super
ORAC antioxidant formula, our
Super Supplemental
without Iron and Super
Omega-3 EPA.
Super Trio provides super
nutrition in a simple way. Everyone needs vitamins, minerals, essential fatty
acids and antioxidants for daily health. These nutrients provide wonderful
benefits for the heart and circulatory system, the brain, the skin and bones,
for the whole body! Super Trio provides significant amounts of the nutrients
needed every day in two daily packets that you take morning and night.
Super Trio offers these health benefits:
* Provides your body with 100 percent or more of current daily requirements for
12 essential vitamins, plus significant amounts of 13 important minerals.
* Contains two important carotenoid antioxidants, lutein and lycopene, which
have been linked to eye health and prostate health, respectively.
* Offers extra amounts of essential B-vitamins for energy.
* Supports the cardiovascular system, especially the heart.
* Helps keep cell membranes flexible.
* Scavenges free radicals that occur naturally as well as those caused by
pollution, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet light and radiation. Antioxidants benefit
virtually every organ and body system because they mop up damaging free
radicals.
Antioxidants quench free radicals in the body, helping to protect cell membranes
and DNA from damage. Super ORAC combines powerful nutrients and foods that have
been shown to have a very high ORAC value (a measure of the antioxidant
capability of a food or supplement). These include decaffeinated green tea
leaves, mangosteen pericarp, turmeric root, quercetin, resveratrol and more. One
capsule provides the same antioxidant strength as one serving of Thai-Go®.
Each box provides a one-month supply of Super Trio when you take the recommended
two packets a day. That’s an investment of less than $2.00 a day for better
health and well-being.
Start Sharing Super Trio Today!
Super Trio is simple to take: it’s just three pills, twice daily in convenient,
cellophane packets.
You can add other products like a probiotic or digestive enzymes to this and
that would help you better assimilate everything.
