Cellular Build

December 14, 2005 at 10:45 am · Filed under Herbal Formulas, Immune, Intestinal

Cellular Build [Immune, Intestinal] provides the body with dietary sources of nucleotides—the building blocks of DNA and RNA, which store our genetic information. Whenever a cell divides, the body needs nucleotides to make a complete copy of DNA for the new cell. At times of stress, the need for new cells increases, which requires millions of nucleotides. The synthesis of new nucleotides requires considerable time and energy for an already-stressed body. Dietary nucleotides support cell multiplication and optimal health. Nucelotides are especially important in areas of the body where rapid cell division occurs, such as in the intestinal system, where the lining of the gastrointestinal tract renews itself about once a week. Here, Cellular Build may enhance digestion, improve the uptake of nutrients, promote the growth of beneficial flora, support enzyme activity, and in general, support the intestinal system. Cellular Build also contains the immune-enhancing and intestinal tract-supporting nutrients astragalus and fructo-oligosaccharides, plus milk thistle.Take 1 capsule twice daily.

Nature’s Hoodia Formula

December 6, 2005 at 3:39 pm · Filed under Herbal Formulas, Weight Loss

Nature’s Hoodia Formula [Weight Management]. Used for centuries by the San tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert to reduce hunger, Hoodia gordonii was first studied by the South African national laboratory in a study of indigenous foods. When researchers fed this succulent plant to animals, the animals began to lose weight. After years of study, scientists now theorize that Hoodia appears to affect the brains of laboratory animals by making the stomach feel full and reducing the desire to eat.
Nature’s Sunshine has combined Hoodia gordonii with other natural ingredients that may help in your weight-management efforts. Nature’s Hoodia Formula contains a blend of Hoodia gordonii, Caralluma fimbriata, dry apple cider vinegar, Garcinia cambogia, l-carnitine, gymnema leaves, chromium, marshmallow root and psyllium hulls. Take 1–2 capsules between meals.

Benefits:
• Offers safe, caffeine-free, non-stimulant weight management support.

Metabomax EF

November 22, 2005 at 9:37 am · Filed under Herbal Formulas, Weight Loss

MetaboMax EF® [Weight Management] is a nourishing, caffeine- and ephedra-free weight-loss formula. It promotes the burning of stored fat by increasing metabolism—the rate at which the body uses calories for energy. This safe, effective formula supports weight loss, increased energy and appetite suppression. The ingredients in MetaboMax EF® combine for a powerful, fat-burning combination:• Lotus Leaf Extract and Green Tea Extract helps to suppress appetite and promote lipolysis (the process of breaking down fat into free fatty acids and glycerol). Lipolysis must take place before fat can be burned.• Fructus aurantia (synephrine) stimulates lipolysis in body cells.• Garcinia contains hydroxycitric acid, which inhibits the conversion of some calories into fat for storage in the body. Garcinia also helps suppress appetite and promotes energy.• L-Carnitine plays an essential metabolic role; it makes less fat available for deposition in the body. L-carnitine improves body composition by promoting lipolysis and lean muscle deposition.• Cordyceps, eleuthero root and chromium boost energy and buffer the effects of stress.• Bee pollen, spirulina, vitamin E and kelp leaves and stems nourish and support the body through the rigors of dieting and weight loss.

Benefits:
• Helps promote weight management.
• Contains no ephedra or caffeine.
• Increases metabolism.
•Suppresses appetite.
• Boosts energy levels.
