Vitamin B12 works in blood and nerve cells.* Neurological function,
such as brain, spinal and optic nerves, and proper blood cell
functioning require vitamin B12.* For the heart, vitamin B12 helps
maintain healthy homocysteine levels in the blood.* It also helps
restore energy levels.*
Methylcobalamin is the active, functional form of vitamin B12 and
the sublingual delivery ensures better utilization* (most B12 vitamin
supplements are cyanocobalamin and rely on conversion for use). There
are many reasons to supplement with methylcobalamin; vegetarians,
seniors, people with gastrointestinal concerns, post medical
procedures, and those with the genetic susceptibility to low vitamin
B12 all can benefit.*
Vitamin H, or biotin, assists in the metabolism of fatty acids and utilization of B-vitamins. Biotin is essential for gluconeogenesis (glycogen synthesis) and for fatty acid synthesis.
Chromium is an essential nutrient and clinical research in humans reports that chromium picolinate helps to support healthy blood levels of sugars and fats, as well as the development of lean muscle tissue, particularly in people who don’t get enough through diet.* Unfortunately, many Americans fail to consume chromium rich foods. Each capsule of Chromium Picolinate provides 200 mcg of elemental (actual) chromium.
CinSulin® is a water soluble cinnamon extract, developed with assistance from noted cinnamon researcher Dr. Richard Anderson. The makers of CinSulin® recommend a total daily intake of 250 mg.
GluControl™ is a clinically formulated blend of nutrients designed to be used along with a balanced diet to support healthy blood sugar levels.* Both the combination and form of nutrients make GluControl uniquely better. Vitamin C (fat and water soluble forms); natural vitamin E (both d-alpha and mixed tocopherol); N-acetyl-cysteine, the ‘ready-to-work’ form of the amino acid cysteine and the proven plant favorite, quercetin, provide widespread cellular protection.* These antioxidant nutrients protect healthy blood vessels and promote circulation and capillary integrity.* The standardized herbal extracts of cinnamon (CinSulin®), bitter melon and goats rue, help improve and stabilize metabolic balance.* These herbs have been used for centuries and, more recently, boast positive results in clinical research trials.* And vanadium, from vanadyl sulfate, continues to be investigated for its metabolic role as a trace mineral.
Native to Indian tropical forests, gymnema sylvestre is a well used herb in traditional Indian, or Ayurvedic, healthcare. Numerous clinical studies support its beneficial role in carbohydrate metabolism. Complementary Prescriptions offers gymnema sylvestre standardized to 24% gymnemic acids.
A Natural Defense Against the Hidden Causes of Food Intolerance
Some people can tell when a particular food they ate disagreed with
them and they will avoid it, while others have been eating foods that
have been slowly eroding their health without noticing it because they
have become used to the low grade inflammation in their GI tracts. Many
common symptoms are really the result of the lectin interactions with
our immune systems. An example of a common lectin that many have heard
of is gluten or gliadin. Some of the post-meal reactions to lectins are:
• Headaches, brain fog, lack of concentration
• Skin problems such as itchiness, eczema, and acne
• Water retention, puffiness around the eyes, extremities
• Bloating – a very common symptom
• Easy weight gain and stubborn weight loss
• Chronic fatigue and post-meal fatigue
• Chronically clearing throat and excess mucous
• Respiratory symptoms like chronic, (non-illness) coughing
• Joint stiffness and pain (particularly in the morning)
• Urinary weakness or chronic inflammation or infection
• Abdominal pain and gas with meals, excessive belching (lectins can also lower the HCL levels impairing digestion)
• Gastric reflux and upset stomach
• Irritable bowel and spastic colon
• Hyperactivity
• Sinus problems, itchy nose, congestion and post-nasal drip
• Insulin shifts affecting blood sugar balance
Lectins are specialized proteins commonly found in fruits,
vegetables, and seafood, and especially in grains, beans and seeds.
They are not degraded by stomach acid or proteolytic enzymes, making
them virtually resistant to digestion. Certain lectins consumed in
everyday foods can bind to cells in the gut and to blood cells,
initiating an inflammatory response and contributing to such problems
as digestive disorders, weight gain, post-meal fatigue and immune
challenges. Lectin Lock™ is a unique blend designed to “lock up”
problematic lectins and safely escort them out of the body. Take with
every meal for better health now as part of a program of prevention for
the future.
