The Burning Question

Why do we….

Age?

Get Sick?

Get Diseases?

Our Health Outlook Is Not Good

According to the U.S. World Health Organization:

Male Female

The average life expectancy is: 75 years 80 years

The healthy life expectancy is: 67 years 71 years

Total years spent in sickness is: 8 years 9 years

Additionally:

•80% of adults 65 years or older will get at least one degenerative disease

•50% of adults 65 years or older will get two or more degenerative diseases

Today’s Health Reality

Medical evidence suggests that 80 – 90 % of degenerative diseases involve free radical damage and the resultant oxidative stress and inflammation caused to our cells.

Degenerative Disease is Leading Cause of Premature Death:

• Heart Disease (17 M*)• Cancer (8.6 M*)• Stroke (5.5 M*)• Respiratory Disease (3.7 M*)• Diabetes (990 K*)

Free Radicals AreCaused By:

• Normal Cellular Respiration

• Stress

• Radiation from the sun

• Pollution & smog

• Alcohol & tobacco

• Metabolizing food

• Strenuous Exercise

• Pesticides

Am I Getting The Nutrients I Need?

American Medical Association Recommends Supplementation

USDA surveyed 16,000 Americans. Found not one person obtained 100% of essential nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin E, and zinc.1

Children didn’t obtain enough essential nutrients such as folate, vitamin C, and calcium.2

What Has Happened To Our Food?

The Need For High Quality Supplements

But how do you know how to choose a high quality supplement?

and nutrient poor foods and can also counter the damaging effects of Free Radicals to help prevent degenerative disease.

The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) established during WW II set the standard for minimum nutrient intakes

necessary to prevent deficiency diseases such as scurvy and rickets but these standards do little to address the OPTIMAL nutrient intakes necessary to PREVENT chronic diseases.

A high quality supplement can provide the nutrients needed to fill in gaps from poor diet

Are You Getting What You Pay For?

Yale study tested 257 vitamins. Only 49 had adequate ratios of nutrients. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, New Haven Hospital

54% of supplements tested did not disintegrate properly. J. Pharm Pharmaceut Sci

An estimated 25% of commercially available products may contain steroids, stimulants, binders, fillers, dyes or other contaminants.
