ABC's To A Healthy Life

• Vitamin Pak

What Makes It Different?
The Vitamin Pack – Combines Vitality Multivitamin with Calcium Complete™ to deliver 24 essential nutrients from the optimum sources and in the right combinations with this new breakthrough in mineral form for maximum absorbability and antioxidant protection. The addition of Calcium Complete helps you get the additional minerals you need for strong bones and teeth, as well as proper muscle and heart activity.*

The Scientific Difference

Essential for a vibrant life, better health, and more energy
Vitamins and minerals help prevent disease and provide crucial support to most body functions, including growth and energy production. Vitality Multivitamin and Mineral provides the ideal levels of nutrients based on your unique age and gender requirements.

Delivers nutrients Just Like Nature™
This new breakthrough in delivering nutrients, binds minerals to organic compounds to mirror the way they are naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods.
Proven by science to be up to 10 times more available for absorption than the competition†
Traditional mineral forms can crystallize in the intestines, making them difficult to absorb. This technology helps keep minerals soluble in the intestine—where nutrient absorption takes place
Protects antioxidant vitamins from free radical damage up to 5 times better than the leading brands†
Traditional mineral forms can cause an increase of free radicals, robbing the antioxidants in your multivitamin (vitamins A, C, and E) of some of their potency before they can be absorbed. this new deivery system guards the minerals, reducing their ability to generate excess free radicals.
We challenge our competitors to produce any evidence contrary to these scientific findings
Oligo was developed by our scientists and verified by leading researchers in the field. We challenge all vitamin and mineral supplement manufacturers to perform their own test and see how their supplements stand up against this new technology.

Why Is That Important?
All the nutrients in the world won’t do you any good if your body can’t use them. The Vitamin Pack has been formulated using the most bioavailable nutrient sources—often multiple sources—all in research-recommended amounts to help you get the nutrients you need every day. It also offers one thing no other multivitamin in the world can offer—this new deliverysystem of binding nutrirents to organic compounds. This amazing breakthrough promotes maximum mineral solubility while protecting the potency of your antioxidants. In fact, no other mineral form is more available for absorption than these.
The result is more energy and better health—a difference you can actually feel.

It Works Because…
The minerals in supplements crystallize during digestion, which inhibits absorption. In addition, minerals also tend to trigger free radicals during digestion. This cascade of free radicals can “use up” the antioxidants in your multivitamin (vitamins A, C, and E), rendering them nearly useless.

This new technology binds minerals to organic compounds (fructose and amino acid) to mirror the way minerals are naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods. This binding process not only keeps the minerals more available for the body to absorb, it also guards the minerals—disarming their ability to generate massive amounts of free radicals. As a result, more of the critical nutrients you need for better health are available for use every day.

• Fiber

What Makes It Different?

Fiber drinks, bars, and cereals are made with psyllium husk fiber and other sources of fiber as well as a proprietaary blend of herbs, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Why Is That Important?

Psyllium husk fiber has been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease by helping to reduce both total cholesterol and LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol. † It also helps promote regularity and it helps collect and sweep away toxins for a healthier digestive tract. Our fiber is the only company that offers the proprietary blend of psyllium husk, herbs, vitamins, and antioxidants found in this Fiber. You can’t find it anywhere else!

It Works Because…

As the soluble fiber in psyllium husk absorbs liquid while moving through the digestive tract, it also absorbs cholesterol and bile acids, allowing them to pass out of the body instead of being absorbed by the intestines. The result is a natural lowering of blood cholesterol levels. †

In addition, Our Fiber helps promote a healthy digestive tract with an exclusive blend of herbs, vitamins, and antioxidants:

•Aloe vera leaf —helps promotes regularity
•Burdock root—well-known soothing agent
•Ginger root—reduces gas
•Peppermint leaf—helps soothe indigestion
•Licorice root—helps Calm the stomach
•Grape seed—powerful antioxidant that helps protect the digestive tract
•Green tea—helps support a healthy metabolism
•Vitamin A—helps enhance immunity
•Vitamin C—powerful antioxidant
•Vitamin E—free radical fighter

*This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. † Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of Fiber drink provides 3.4 grams of this soluble fiber.

 

• Coldwater Omega-3

What Makes It Different?

Coldwater Omega-3 derives its power from the research-recommended source of omega-3s—pure coldwater fish. Coldwater Omega-3 also includes the ideal balance of DHA and EPA (2:1) at the right dose (930 mg) in just two little capsules that make supporting optimal health easy for anyone to swallow.

Why Is That Important?

Omega-3s are a family of unsaturated fatty acids that are critical for the normal production and functioning of cells, muscles, nerves, and organs. Fatty acids are also required for the production of hormone-like compounds that help regulate blood pressure, heart rate, and blood clotting. And because the human body cannot create these fatty acids on its own, they must be obtained through diet and supplementation.

Although omega-3 fatty acids have been recognized as essential to normal growth and health since the 1930s, awareness of their specific health benefits has dramatically increased in the past few years. Omega-3s are now linked to a variety of benefits, including the support of:

•Brain health—omega-3s naturally support cognitive health, including mental acuity1 and mood *
•Eye health—omega-3s naturally support proper vision2 as well as eye stamina*
•Cardiovascular health—omega-3s have been shown to help reduce triglycerides3 and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease†

It Works Because…

Omega-3s from coldwater fish are some of the most beneficial natural nutrients. While coldwater fish are not the only source of omega-3s, they are the preferred choice for two key reasons:
1. Concentration—the concentration of omega-3s is higher in coldwater fish than almost any other source, giving you more benefit in fewer capsules.
2. Ideal form—DHA and EPA are the forms most easily used by the body. Many plants contain ALA omega-3s, which the body can convert to EPA and to a lesser extent DHA, but the process is extremely slow and inefficient.

All the Benefits Without the Contaminants
While coldwater fish are the ideal source for omega-3s, many health specialists warn against eating fish more than 2–3 times a week because of the potential risk of mercury or PCB contamination. The fish oil in Coldwater Omega-3 comes from salmon caught in Alaska using American fishing boats, and is made, purified, and inspected in the U.S.A. to contain no contaminants or allergens such as wheat, corn, milk, yeast, egg, glutens, artificial colors or flavors, or added sugar or starch.

What Does It Take to Get the Same Level of Omega-3s?
To get the same levels of DHA and EPA found in Coldwater Omega-3 (660 mg DHA, 270 mg EPA) you would have to consume one of the following amounts of fish every day:š

•84 oz. of tilapia
•31 oz. of clams
•21 oz. of lobster
•21 oz. of scallops
•18 oz. of cod
•18 oz. of haddock
•18 medium-size raw oysters
•12 oz. catfish
•10 oz. tuna
•10 sardines
•6 oz. of trout
•3 oz. of salmon

* This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. † Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. A daily dose of Vitality Coldwater Omega-3 (2 softgels) supplies 930 mg of EPA and DHA.

• Cholesterol Heart Health Supplement

What Makes It Different?
Colesterol Heart Health is the first heart supplement that helps reduce the risk of heart disease by combining plant phytosterols and omega-3 fatty acids with CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid to naturally reduce cholesterol levels for a healthier heart and life.†‡

Why Is That Important?
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that the combination of eating a high-fiber diet and supplementing with phytosterols is just as effective at lowering cholesterol as a popular alternative—without the side effects. In fact, independent clinical studies show phytosterols may help reduce cholesterol by up to 29%! In addition, independent clinical studies also show omega-3s may help reduce triglyceride levels by up to 26%!†‡

Coenzyme Q10 (more commonly known as just CoQ10) is key component in the cell’s ability to generate energy. Ninety-five percent of the human body’s energy is generated this way. Those organs with the highest energy requirements—such as the heart and the liver—have the highest CoQ10 concentrations.

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a fatty acid found naturally inside every cell in the body. It’s needed by the body to produce the energy for our body’s normal functions. It is believed that alpha lipoic acid has the ability to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up. Alpha lipoic acid also increases the formation of glutathione.

It Works Because…
Phytosterols are ingredients found naturally in plants that have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol. They are so similar, in fact, that it is difficult for our bodies to distinguish the two. As a result, phytosterols can take the place of cholesterol during digestion and help safely block cholesterol absorption in the intestine, so it doesn’t enter the bloodstream. Unfortunately, phytosterols are not easily absorbed on their own and need to be consumed with fat. That’s where omega-3s come in. Omega-3s not only help enhance the solubility of phytosterols without the downsides associated with typical fats, they have also been shown to help maintain healthy triglyceride levels, which support optimal heart health (triglycerides are a type of blood fat). The result is lower cholesterol and a healthier cardiovascular system—naturally. †‡ Research on phytosterols and omega-3s has been published in multiple prestigious publications, including:

•Journal of the American Medical Association, 2003
•American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000
•GISSI Study, 2002
•Circulation, 2001

In the body, CoQ10 levels tend to fall as we age, This Supplement helps maintain CoQ10 levels necessary for proper organ function, while alpha lipoic acid helps fight the damaging effects of free radicals.*

† Foods and supplements containing at least .65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily intake of at least 1.3 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. A daily dose of Cholesterol Heart Health (4 softgels) supplies 2.0 g of plant sterol esters.

‡Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving provides 165 mg of EPA and 110 mg of DHA omega-3 fatty acids.
