What are you doing about your health? Did you know approximately 40% of North Americans are currently taking a multi-vitamin. What many do not realize is that they might be causing more harm than benefit.
Synthetic vitamins are included in many brand name supplements today and could be dangerous to your health. Did you know that taking the synthetic form of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can actually thicken the arterial walls of the heart by as much as 2.5 times, which can lead to heart disease? Other synthetic forms of Vitamins A, E, B, etc. can be potentially just as dangerous. Most supplement products on the market today use synthetic vitamins rather than whole vitamins straight from vegetables and fruits. Synthetic vitamins are much cheaper to manufacture and market.
Introducing: The Greatest Vitamin in the World
The Greatest Vitamin in the World uses only the highest quality of vitamins and minerals combined with other scientifically proven nutrients to support your body nutritionally.
Whole Food Vitamins are Non-synthetic
Vitamins are essential for the normal metabolism, growth and life of your body. According to research, because of nutrient-deficient foods in our diets today. every individual should take a multi-vitamin. Many people with cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other serious diseases may have been able to avoid these illnesses if they had received proper nutrition.
In order for the body to absorb and use a vitamin, all of its parts must be present. Not all vitamins are good fpr you. Taking fractionated or synthetic form of a vitamin, such as ascorbic acid, your body must first supply the missing parts of the whole food complex. It does this by robbing your collagen tissues for the missing elements. This process could leave you more depleted.
Fractionated vitamins can produce a drug-like reaction in the body and have been shown to increase the risk of cancer, birth defects and heart disease. Synthetic vitamins can increase the activity of nerve cells and stimulate a feeling of euphoria and temporary increase in energy, while incurring long-term damage to the body. The whole food vitamins in our formula supply the individual cells with the nutrients they need to flourish.

Begin the Antiaging Process
Aging is a phenomenon, which occurs in all living things.1

Yet, that process occurs much too rapidly for most people in America.2 Our current stressful lifestyles, environmental pollutants and toxins, and lack of proper nutrition all combine to speed us toward early aging. Add to that the constant bombardment of free radicals and there is little wonder as to why we seem to age so quickly! Free radicals—unstable and highly reactive atoms that cause cellular damage and malfunction—are created as the result of stress, chemicals in the environment, stimulants, and countless other lifestyle factors.3 Free radicals accelerate the aging process leaving many of us tired, achy, and wrinkled - when we should be in the prime of life!
While aging itself is not an illness, it is a process of continual degeneration, yet aging is not synonymous with poor health. One can have vitality and zest for living whether 30 or 60! In fact, a healthy lifestyle and supplying the body with the proper nutrition can enhance the aging process and fuel the body so it will perform even better as you age.
There is a group of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes called antioxidants that help to protect the body from the formation of free radicals.4 Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that can cause damage to cells, impairing the immune system. Free radical damage is thought by scientists to be the basis for the aging process as well.
There are a number of known free radicals that occur in the body. They may be formed by exposure to radiation and toxic chemicals such as those found in cigarette smoke, overexposure to the sun’s rays, or various metabolic processes.
Free radicals are normally kept in check by the action of free radical scavengers that occur naturally in the body. These scavengers neutralize the free radicals. A certain enzyme serves this vital function. The enzyme is known as superoxide dismutase (SOD).5 The body makes this as a matter of course. This enzyme gets overburdened due to the amount of free radicals that we are exposed to. There are also a number of nutrients that act as antioxidants, including vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, and the mineral selenium. Certain herbs have antioxidant properties as well.
Although many antioxidants can be obtained from food sources such as sprouted grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, it is difficult to get enough of them from these sources to hold back the free radicals constantly being generated in our polluted environment.
Grape seed extract and pine bark (OPCs) are naturally occurring substances present in a variety of food and botanical sources. They are unique flavones that have powerful antioxidant capabilities and excellent bioavailability. Clinical test suggest that OPC’s may be as much as fifty times more potent than vitamin C in terms of bioavailable antioxidant activity.6 In addition to their antioxidant activity, they strengthen and repair connective tissue, including that of the cardiovascular system. They also moderate allergic and inflammatory responses by reducing histamine production.

The Four Aces: Antioxidants
There has been a lot of research has been done to show that an improved lifestyle including healthier eating, exercise and proper nutrient levels can help nutritionally support your body in so many ways.
Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person's life, normal cells divide more rapidly until the person becomes an adult. After that, cells in most parts of the body divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells and to repair injuries.
Icreased intake of vitamin C and other anti-oxidants, especially from fruits and vegetables, could be extremely beneficial. The main antioxidants are known as the 4 "ACES" for provitamin A, vitamin C vitamin E and selenium
Another greatly researched nutrient for nutritionally supporting your body in a fantastic way is with Garlic. Many other studies have shown that Beta Carotene and other antioxidants have a great impact in nutritionally supporting your body.
Start taking care of your body so that you can live your life to the fullest!
Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
Having healthy glucose sugar levels can be very important to experiencing a healthy lifestyle. When you have healthy blood sugar levels, your body should be producing and properly using insulin.
Chromium is an essential trace element that is required for the body to have normal insulin function.1 When the body has a chromium deficiency it can produce conditions such as impaired glucose metabolism, high blood sugar levels, lower HDL levels, among others. If your diet is high in refined sugars and refined grains like white bread, you actual intensify the chromium depletion in the body. Check out the graph from the study.2
Gymnema sylvestre studies show an amazing effect on supporting healthy blood glucose levels.3 Researchers believe that Gymnema sylvestre may play a key role in helping the body nutritionally support healthy beta cells, which plays a vital role in the production of and secretion of insulin into the body. No other herb has been shown to nutritionally support healthy beta cells as much as Gymnema sylvestre. Gymnema sylvestre is also known to nutritonally support a healthy body fat ratio and healthy cholesterol levels!4
Improve your diet, exercise and nutritionally support the body by eating healthy foods and as many raw foods as possible.

Healthy Body Weight
Healthy body weight is an increasing issue among Americans today. Healthy body weight is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We will show from the research below, improving your diet and exercise are the most important things you can do to improve your metabolism and help your body shed the unwanted fat.1
Lets look at some of the most researched and powerful nutrients:
CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)
A study published in The Journal of Nutrition (December 2000, V12) established that the natural dietary supplement conjugated linoleic Acid (CLA) reduces body fat in people with body weight challenges.2
Garcinia Cambogia
Another supplement essential for weight loss is natural organic acid extract from the rind of the Malabar tamarind called Garcinia cambogia. This compound has been associated with nutritionally supporting healthy body weight by a gradual decrease in body fat and other weight management benefits, such as suppressing hunger cravings. A study performed by Katts, et al, concluded the adminstration of Garcinia cambogia reduced deposition of body fat and promoted increased weight loss in human subjects.3 Citrin K is a proprietary formula proven to suppress appetite and inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the liver. Citrin K also supplies potassium, which plays a major role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and heartbeat.

Cardiovascular Health
Maintaining cardiovascular health is one of the most important priorities for wellness! The most vital aspects of maintaing cardiovascular health includes having a good nutrient rich healthy diet, plenty of physical activity, and watching your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Additionally, through research we know that specific nutrients can help nutritionally support coronary health and cardiovascular health. A special form of garlic extract (AGE) could nutritionally support cardiovascular health in a couple of ways.
Vitamins C and E, and daily consumption of folic acid, vitamin B(12), vitamin B(6), vitamin B-3 (niacin), and chromium are shown to nutritionally support coronary and cardiovascular health, to help you live a life of wellness and feeling good.
Additionally, minerals have been proven to be the most bioavailable and better absorbed by the body in the amino acid chelated form. This form leaves no waste or toxins in the body, such as calcium citrate or carbonate, which can cause additional stress.
Make sure you're eating healthy food, getting regular check-ups with your doctor, exercising, resting, and doing activities that make you smile.
