Nutrients

Vitamin A - stimulates immune system, protects against free radical damage caused by toxins and radiation. Vitamin C - protects against free radical damage; aids in growth and repair of body tissue, prevention of infection; helps build up the immune system, and helps fight cancer. It works best with bioflavonoids, found in natural foods but rarely in synthetic supplements. Vitamin E - protects against free radical damage, protects against heart disease, alleviates fatigue, alleviates leg and muscle cramps, reduces PMS, helps preserve tissues. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - aids in digestion of carbohydrates and sugar; improves nervous sytem function, stamina, ability to concentrate, and mental attitude. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) - affects growth and reproduction; promotes healthy skin, vision, healthy kidney function; metabolizes carbohydrates, fats and protein. Vitamin B3 (niacin) - affects nervous system and brain function, reduces migraines; helps digestive system, reduces cholesterol and triglycerides; needed to make sex hormones and other hormones. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) - aids in cell building, conversion of fat and sugar to energy, wound healing; reduces stress, increases stamina. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) - aides in assimilation of protein and fat, acts as a natural diuretic (water elimination), enhances energy metabolism in muscles. Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) - aids in red blood cell formation, builds up nervous system, increases energy. Vitamin B15 (pangamic acid) - Russian athletes found that pangamic acid increased oxygen to the cells and thus increased their endurance, stamina and speed. Their muscles simply worked better. Folic acid - aids in utilization of sugar and amino acids (from proteins), prevention of certain birth defects, red blood cell formation. Biotin - promotes healthy skin and hair, helps control fungus (yeast), works with insulin in glucose (sugar) utilization. Inositol - aids in fat and chlesterol metabolism, promotes artery health, hair growth. Choline - works on the cell membranes, improves nerve transmission and brain function, hormone production. Vitamin K - affects proper blood clotting. Calcium - helps build strong bones, teeth and muscles; promotes healthy nervous system; has a calming effect. Potassium - regulates water balance and heart rhythms, aids in clear thinking by sending oxygen to the brain, works as an allergy treatment, and relieves insomnia and anxiety. Magnesium - improves nerve and muscle functioning, helps relieve cramps and PMS, aids in bone formation, regulates heartbeat. Phosphorus - aids in bone formation, improves kidney and heart function, lessens arthritis pain, promotes growth and body repair, aids in fat and starch metabolism. Chromium - affects sugar metabolism. Selenium (antioxidant) - helps prevent free radical damage. Some of the benefits of Risotriene: Turns fat into energy using natural lipolytics Decreases cholesterol, especially LDLs, or 'bad' cholesterol, up to 40% with corresponding decreases in triglycerides. Helps to regulate blood sugar - a safe superfood for diabetics and those with hypoglycemia. Decreases degenerative diseases by combating free radicals which can lead to heart attack, stroke and cancer. Contains over 70 antioxidants including tocotrienols, slowing the aging process. The least active tocotrienol antioxidant is 40-60 times more potent than vitamin E (alpha tocopherol). Essential fatty acids help produce and balance hormones and protect the skin from wrinkling. Bolsters energy and stamina due to high amounts of highly absorbable super B vitamins like pangamic acid, the Russians' secret. Some of the compounds can have over 10 times greater antioxidant activity than pycnogenol®. Why we need nutrients - We are getting sicker quicker! As a nation, we are getting progressively sicker. According to the October 1996 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 100 million people, or over 1/3 of Americans, have some type of chronic illness. There are 40 million with arthritis alone. Our number one killer is heart disease. In 1900, only 1/7 of the population died of it, but now almost 1/2 of the population have heart and artery problems severe enough to kill them. Autopsies on children raised on the typical American diet show that they have preconditions for heart disease by the time they are nine years old. Our number two killer is cancer. Sixty-four (64) our of 100,000 died of cancer per year in 1900, which now 202 of 100,000 die of it per year. [1] The lifetime risk of cancer is now one in three, and of those who get cancer, 80% die of it. This is in spite of all the supposed advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
