This liquid form is more quickly absorbed into the bloodstream enabling herbs to begin working faster. It may also be rubbed onto the chest and throat to be absorbed through the skin. CLA ~ Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring polyunsaturated fatty acid present in many foods, particularly beef and dairy products, and can be synthesized from linoleic acid. CLA has attracted much interest since the discovery that it has anticarcinogenic and body fat-lowering effects, plus it may also reduce cholesterol. CLA increases the feeling of fullness and decreases the feelings of hunger. When taking a combination of an herbal anti-cellulite and CLA, cellulite is greatly reduced…the appearance of the skin improves significantly and thigh circumference is reduced. This is just one of the many weight management products that NSP offers! Co-Q10, 60 Softgel caps, 100mg Benefits: How It Works: Co-Q10 is a vitamin-like substance present in every cell in the body. It is vital for cellular energy, cardiovascular health and longevity. Co-Q10 is required for energy production in the mitochondria of the cell where carbohydrates and fatty acids are converted into energy (ATP). This energy-making process fuels most metabolic processes. As an antioxidant, Co-Q10 scavenges free radicals, reducing oxidative stress on cells throughout the body. It protects cardiac cells, prevents lipid oxidation and promotes the regeneration of vitamin E, another antioxidant. Co-Q10 especially contributes to the health of the heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas. It also supports already-normal-range blood pressure levels. Co-Q10 material is often marketed in a crystalline state, which is less-absorbable by the body. Nature’s Sunshine uses a patented lipid blend to keep Co-Q10 from crystallizing, and it yields maximum bioavailability. A double-blind human clinical trial showed that this form of Co-Q10 was at least eight times more readily absorbed by the body than competing (crystalline) products. Calcium, Liquid ~ is a tasty nutritional supplement that provides enhanced calcium absorption and utilization by combining bioavailable forms of calcium with nutrients required for optimum assimilation. In addition, Liquid Calcium may also help to buffer an acidic body pH which is a common element of and may be a contributing factor to the development of degenerative and auto-immune diseases. Unlike other liquid calcium supplements, NSP’s Liquid Calcium does not taste “chalky” or “gritty” and it’s naturally-sweetened, tropical fruit flavor can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Each tablespoon serving of Liquid Calcium provides 500mg Calcium (phosphate, citrate, lactate), 200mg Magnesium (oxide), 200IU Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) and 1.5mg Zinc (gluconate). Calcium/Magnesium, SynerPro ~ is a great source of calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and boron. This popular combination provides nutrients that support the structural system and aids in the maintenance of teeth, bones, tendons and skin. Calcium is the most plentiful mineral in the body, with about 99% stored in bones and teeth. Calcium is important for muscle operations, nerve conduction, parathyroid hormone function, Vitamin D metabolism, and is needed for healthy bones, hair, nails, skin and other connective tissues. Magnesium, also found in bones, is essential for calcium absorption. Magnesium helps nerves to relax after having been stimulated by calcium, thus promoting a healthy balance of muscle and nerve function. NSP’s Calcium/Magnesium is made up of Calcium (di-calcium phosphate, amino acid chelate), Vitamin D (fish oils), Phosphorus (di-calcium phosphate), Magnesium (magnesium oxide), Zinc (zinc oxide), Copper (copper gluconate) and Boron (amino acid chelate) is a base of cruciferous vegetables and herbs. Calcium Plus Vitamin D ~ is a balanced calcium supplement providing a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, which is generally accepted as effective.

Candida Clear ~ is a 14-day cleansing program consisting of two packs (the Candida Clear Combo pack and the Candida Clear Enzyme pack). The Combo pack is formulated with natural ingredients like Pau D’Arco, Caprylic Acid and Oregano, which have been shown to help balance the colonization of Candida. The Enzyme pack contains a proprietary blend of enzymes specially combined to provide support to the intestinal tract. Candida’s cell wall is composed of a variety of components, including carbohydrates and proteins. It is theorized that the cell wall may be vulnerable to the digestive action of the carbohydrolytic and proteolytic enzymes found in this formula. Candida Albicans is a natural part of the body’s gut flora; however, certain factors can lead to Candida overgrowth, requiring a solution to help balance Candida. Start your cleanse today! Caprylic Acid Combination ~ is designed to help fight Candida Albicans & relieve the symptoms that an overabundance of this yeast in the body causes. The capsules are enteric-coated so ingredients will not be dissolved until they reach the intestinal tract. Each preservative-free capsule provides 300mg of Caprylic Acid along with the benefits of the other parasite fighting herbs of Black Walnut and Elecampane. Also contains Red Raspberry. Capsicum ~ ~ has long been used as a stimulant to increase circulation & cardiovascular activity, while at the same time lowering blood pressure & aiding in the prevention of heart attack & stroke. It has been used for cold hands/feet, cold stages of fevers, varicose veins, gastrointestinal problems (bleeding ulcers, colic, dyspepsia, flatulence, diarrhea), protecting the lungs from free radical damage, arthritis, chronic fatigue, mild depression, gastric ulcers, vascular headaches, impotence (resulting from venous insufficiency), infections, kidney problems, menstrual complaints, respiratory conditions (asthma, pleurisy), thyroid dysfunction, is an excellent gargle for hoarseness & sore throats, helps the body from carcinogenic (cancer causing) & toxic chemicals.

Those with gastrointestinal disorders, kidney disorders or are pregnant should avoid capsicum in certain instances. Capsicum & Garlic w/Parsley ~ focuses its action primarily on the circulatory system by enhancing circulation, strengthening cardiovascular function, normalizing blood pressure & reducing blood cholesterol levels. It also helps stimulate perspiration, increases the production of digestive fluids, combats infection and has been commonly used for arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, asthma, chronic chills, colds, coughs, fever, heart arrhythmia, hemorrhoids, hypertension, impotence, indigestion, parasites, poor circulation, rheumatism, skin eruptions, varicose veins & worms. Carbo Grabbers ~ the typical American diet is dominated by refined carbohydrates such as breads, cereal, pastas and today’s assortment of “breakfast bars”. Unfortunately, such a diet wreaks havoc on blood glucose (sugar) and insulin levels within the body. In order to compensate for the rapid boost in glucose levels caused by the digestion of refined carbohydrates, the pancreas secretes large amounts of insulin, which transports glucose into cells to be burned for energy or stores as glycogen or fat. Over time, the continual elevation of insulin levels to combat spiking glucose levels can cause the cells to become resistant to insulin – insulin resistance is the most common cause of Type 2 Diabetes. In light of this dilemma, Nature’s Sunshine has introduced Carbo Grabbers, a powerful dietary supplement designed to help reduce the negative effects of carbohydrate intake by blocking carbohydrate digestion. Carbo Grabbers employs an extract from the white kidney bean, which inhibits amylase (a starch-digesting enzyme) activity, thereby reducing the digestion and subsequent absorption of dietary starches. In ancient times, the white navy bean was used in the treatment of diabetes to reduce blood glucose levels, as well as to stimulate urine flow and the flushing of toxins from the body. In Germany, this bean is approved for infections of the urinary tract and for kidney and bladder stones. Clinically proven, Carbo Grabbers is made from a portion of the white kidney bean; just one gram prevents the absorption of over 500 grams of dietary starch (or over 2,250 calories). Cardio Assurance ~ offers a powerful blend of ingredients that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and help prevent circulatory disorders. The herbs, vitamins and essential nutrients in Cardio Assurance help protect the heart and blood vessels from damage, strengthen cardiovascular function, reduce blood pressure and serum cholesterol and lower homocysteine levels to prevent coronary artery disease and heart attack. Contains Hawthorn berries, Ginkgo Biloba, Red Clover, Capsicum, Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 & b12, Choline Bitartrate and Taurine (an amino acid). Carotenoid Blend ~ is a powerful antioxidant supplement providing a wide variety of carotenoids. Taking an assortment of carotenoids like that found in NSP’s Carotenoid Blend helps to ensure optimum health benefits, since controlled studies indicate that carotenoids work synergistically with one another. Carotenoids protect cells against UV radiation, destroy oxygen free radicals, enhance immune response, appear to help reduce the risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration, improve wound healing, may help protect against cardiovascular diseases and have demonstrated anti-cancer activity (research suggests that carotenoids may offer protection against breast, colorectal, lung, prostate & uterine cancers). Each capsule of Carotenoid Blend contains Alpha-carotene, Astaxanthin, Beta-carotene, Cryptoxanthin, Lutein, Lycopene, Phytoene, Phytofluene, Zeaxanthin and Hibiscus flowers. Cascara Sagrada ~ is widely known for its laxative effects. Cascara helps to eliminate accumulated toxic waste & is effective at restoring healthy form & tone to the colon, it stimulates bile production, is beneficial for digestive & liver problems (esp. enlarged liver) & exhibits antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus II (genital herpes) & vaccinia virus (cowpox) in cell cultures.

Studies confirm that the individual ingredients and the combinations of some of the ingredients of Cellular Energy promote energy, improve motor performance of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle plus the possible retardation of oxidative stress and aging and elongation of life span are possible benefits. Key ingredients include CoQ10, L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamins B1, B2, E, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Zinc, Manganese and Magnesium. Cellu-Smooth with Coleus ~ the breaking down or thinning of subcutaneous (under the skin) connective tissue structures that support the skin is a major contributor to the development of cellulite, along with the accumulation of subcutaneous fat. Both conditions lead to the enlargement of fat cells located beneath the skin’s surface, causing affected areas to have the characteristic “orange peel” appearance known as cellulite. The breakdown of connective tissue also impairs healthy circulation, which can cause congestion of lymphatic fluids and metabolic wastes. Thus, cellulite is often accompanied by a feeling of heaviness and tightness in affected areas (especially the legs), as well as tenderness of the skin when pinched, pressed or vigorously massaged. In addition, varicose veins are commonly found in conjunction with cellulite, since both conditions are caused largely by the weakening of supporting connective tissues. Cellu-Smooth is an herbal formula designed to help reduce the appearance of cellulite, while also improving skin health and tone. Cellu-Smooth naturally and safely enhances circulation to affected areas, strengthens connective tissue structures and improves detoxification. In addition, Cellu-Smooth supports healthy thyroid function (esp. hypothyroidism) and increases the breakdown and elimination of excess fat stores in the body. NSP’s Cellu-Smooth contains Coleus forskohlii, Bladderwrack, Ginkgo biloba, Milk thistle, Rhodiola root extract and Rhododendron root.

Each capsule provides a 500mg proprietary blend of Artichoke leaves, Phytosterols, Inositol Nicotinate, Resveratrol & Policosanol. Chondroitin ~ Chondroitin sulfate is one of the main substances that make up the structural components of joint cartilage (along with collagen & water). The body naturally manufactures small amounts of Chondroitin sulfate for the purpose of drawing and maintaining fluids within joint cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate supplementation helps stimulate joint repair by promoting the production of substances required for healthy joint function and by reducing pain and inflammation. NSP’s Chondroitin contains 300mg of Chondroitin sulfate in each preservative-free capsule. (Chondroitin is more effective when taken with Glucosamine) Chromium, GTF ~ Chromium stimulates enzymes, which are a part of glucose metabolism and is the primary mineral involved in insulin production; it is a key component of GTF (glucose tolerance factor), a substance which enables cells to absorb glucose (blood sugar) to burn for energy; it improves the effectiveness of insulin & its ability to monitor glucose, preventing both diabetes (elevated blood sugar & low blood sugar). Chromium is also required for carbohydrate metabolism, esp. sugars, and for protein synthesis, it increases HDL cholesterol while reducing overall cholesterol level. Chromium bay also play a role in the cardiovascular disease mystery. Each tablet of NSP’s Chromium, GTF provides 500mcg of chromium, from chromium amino acid chelate & chromium nicotinate, in a base of horsetail, red clover and yarrow…making it a wonderful source of trace minerals.

Also, by enhancing insulin sensitivity & promoting a healthy balance of insulin & glucagon, Collatrim Plus helps to re-establish the body's normal thermogenic process. Coral Calcium ~ is from old coral reefs washed up on the shores of Japan. Coral-derived calcium is an ideal "alkalizing" supplement. Fossilized coral has been found to be a plentiful source of easily-absorbed calcium, magnesium & other acid-buffering minerals. Coral was one of the first "antacids" used by ancient man to relieve acid indigestion/heartburn. Fossilized coral actually contains nearly 70 different minerals and trace minerals, with calcium found in the highest concentration and in the proper 2 to 1 ratio with magnesium. Coral-derived calcium supplements have a better absorption rate then many other calcium supplements since the calcium in coral is quickly bioavailable to the body. Coral minerals are naturally chelated (bound to a carrier molecule) which makes the minerals both readily absorbed and biologically functional (able to be used by the body). Each serving of NSP's Coral Calcium supplies 325mg of coral-derived calcium, 163mg of coral-derived magnesium. In addition, NSP's Coral Calcium provides an array of plant-derived minerals & trace elements obtained from Montmorillonite clay.

Additional benefits include deodorizing the urine, strengthening the bladder & kidneys, relieving low back pain & reducing water retention. Nutritionists recommend drinking organic, unrefined cranberry juice, which can be obtained for a good health food store, as most supermarket brands contain high amounts of added sugar and water. D3, Vitamin ~ the body manufactures Vitamin D through sun exposure, which makes it difficult to obtain adequate amounts of Vitamin D during cloudy or winter months. Vitamin D comes in two forms (D2 & D3). Of the two, D3 is more bioactive. In the body, Vitamin D is responsible for maintaining normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and for helping to build strong bones. Vitamin D works with other vitamins, minerals and hormones to promote bone mineralization, is responsible for maintaining normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and for helping to build strong bones. Additionally, research shows that Vitamin D may help support a healthy immune system. NSP’s Vitamin D3 contains 2,000 IU natural Vitamin D3 derived from lanolin harvested from the wool fat of sheep from New Zealand and Australia. These animals are certified BSE-free. DHA ~ is an omega-3 fatty acid, is a major component of the human brain, serves as a building block of brain tissue, is the primary structural fatty acid in the gray matter of the brain as well as in the retina of the eye, thus DHA is essential for healthy brain development and mental function and is important for nerve signal transmission in the brain, eyes and nervous system. Research has also revealed a strong inverse correlation between the levels of DHA in red blood cells and cardiovascular disease, confirming its cardio-protective (heart-protecting) effects. DHA must be obtained either from the diet…cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, cod and tuna fish is the best source, or from supplements. Recent data show a correlation between low blood levels of DHA and certain behavioral and neurological disorders (in children & adults) such as dementia, depression, memory loss and visual problems. Each NSP soft gel capsule of DHA provides 250mg of DHA and 50mg of EPA. NSP also adds lemon oil to reduce the aftertaste of fish oil. DHEA-F ~ is a female DHEA combination is a mixture of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone and the herbs wild yam, star root & chaste tree concentrate. The herbs are known to have beneficial effects on female health and enhance the activity of DHEA. Dandelion ~ a common garden weed, contains vitamins, minerals, protein, pectin’s and other catalytic substances which help the liver and gallbladder filter out toxins and purify the blood. Dandelion stimulates the kidneys to eliminate toxins through the urine, assists cell metabolism, increases bile secretion in the liver, inhibits bile duct inflammation, cirrhosis, dyspepsia with constipation, gallstones, hepatitis, jaundice, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and restrict the development of an enlarged or swollen liver. In essence, all glands associated with digestive function respond quickly and effectively to Dandelion. Dandelion provides viscous fiber, which absorbs toxins from the bowel, balances intestinal flora, lowers serum cholesterol, reduces bowel transit time and soothes digestive tract tissues. Dandelion is also a source of bitter flavonoids, which purify the blood, increases urine flow, relieve inflammation and muscle spasms and provide a mild laxative action. This herb is especially beneficial for spleen ailments, for eliminating uric acid buildup and has been used to treat acne, age spots, eczema, frequent urination, gout, heartburn, psoriasis, rheumatism, urinary disorders, chronic joint complains, including gout and osteoarthritis and edema resulting from high blood pressure and heart weakness. Dieter’s Cleanse ~ according to Dr. Mandell, MD (the father of the field of bioecologic medicine), people’s bodies today contain a veritable “chemical cocktail”, derived from exposure to food additives, oxidized fats and preservatives; heavy metals such as aluminum, cadmium, lead and mercury; industrial chemicals; fumigants, fertilizers and insecticides; and the residues of prescription medications, anesthetics and other drugs. Unfortunately, the current level of chemicals in food and water, as well as circulating in the indoor and outdoor environment, has profoundly negative effect on peoples resistance to disease. Internal detoxification is one of the quickest and best ways to reverse damage caused by chronic exposure to contaminants. Through the use of herbal cleansers, purified water, certain fasting diets, etc., the body’s natural detoxification and healing functions can be enhanced and accelerated. Not only does this type of cleansing promote general health and mental clarity, but it may also serve as a key factor in the prevention of chronic diseases associated with toxic build-up including Alzheimer’s, arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, obesity, Parkinson’s and yeast infections. NSP’s Dieter’s Cleanse is an easy-to-use, complete cleansing program designed to promote the healthy elimination of toxins and waste materials. Detoxifying the body allows for better nutrient absorption, which in turn, promotes greater health and wellness. Dieter’s Cleanse also helps improve glandular function, provides nutritional support for the liver, plus…eliminating accumulated fluids and wastes before starting any weight-loss program helps to ensure optimum results. NSP’s Dieter Cleanse consists of Bowel Build, GTF Chromium, Enviro-Detox, LBSII, Liver Cleanse Formula, Master Gland and SF. Dulse Liquid ~ is a relatively unknown red seaweed that is, like most seaweeds, a rich source of vitamins, minerals, protein and other important nutrients. Dulse contains one of the highest concentrations of iron of any known food source (as suggested by its rust-red color). Dulse also provides Vitamin A (as beta-carotene), C, B’s, calcium, chromium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. Despite its variety of beneficial nutrients, Dulse is primarily used for its exceptionally concentrated iodine content. Iodine is a trace mineral that is essential for the development and functioning of the thyroid gland. Iodine is necessary for regulating the body’s production of energy, stimulating metabolism and the burning of excess fat, and promoting healthy physical and mental growth and development. Healthy functioning of the thyroid gland also influences circulatory activity; the functioning of the nervous system and muscles; the condition of the hair, nails, skin and teeth; the conversion of beta-carotene to Vitamin A; the absorption of carbohydrates from the intestines; and the synthesis of protein and cholesterol. Iodine deficiency leads to hypothyroidism and/or the development of an enlarged thyroid gland or goiter, dry hair, sluggish metabolism, obesity, slowed mental reactions, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, breast cancer, tremor, heart palpitation, rapid pulse, hardening of the arteries and some birth defects. NSP’s Dulse Liquid is an alcohol-free extract of Dulse; each serving (1 ml) provides 225 mcg of natural iodine in a glycerin base. Vitamin E Complete with Selenium ~ for decades Vitamin E has been regarded as one of the most popular single-ingredient dietary supplements. Ongoing research has substantiated Vitamin E’s potent antioxidative ability to treat chronic and degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) has a higher bioavailability than synthetic Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol). NSP’s Vitamin E Complete with Selenium contains all 8 Vitamin E compounds plus Selenium to support immune and circulatory health. Selenium is a trace mineral that works together with Vitamin E as an antioxidant. Low levels of selenium have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, asthma, endemic goiter, sudden infant death syndrome, multiple sclerosis as well as cervical dysplasias in women. Selenium levels also appear to be severely depleted in individuals suffering from liver disease, especially cirrhosis and hepatitis. Each softgel capsule of NSP’s Vitamin E Complete with Selenium provides 400 IU natural Vitamin E, including 30mg tocopherols (alpha, beta, delta & gamma) and 5mg mixed tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta & gamma) in a base of soybean oil and annatto (a natural food coloring & antioxidant agent). E-Tea ~ has been formulated according to the Essiac tea formula, revered for inhibiting tumor growth and treating cancer. When these 4 powerful herbal extracts are combined, they act synergistically to inhibit and potentially destroy benign growths and tumors, stimulates the production of antibodies, purifies/detoxifies the blood, alleviates pain, promotes faster healing of wounds, enhances energy levels, eliminates diarrhea, enhances immunity, repairs the liver, pancreas and kidneys as well as detoxifying the body by ridding it of metabolic waste and it even lowers cholesterol. It is suppose to increase cellular metabolism by normalizing blood chemistry and to rebuild the immune system and T-cells by regulating hormonal balance. E-Tea has been used extensively with all types of cancer as well as AIDS, chronic acne, diabetes mellitus, inflammatory skin conditions, leukemia, liver problems, lupus, multiple sclerosis, thyroid disorders, stomach ulcers, viruses, and numerous degenerative diseases. NSP’s powerful E-Tea formula consists of Burdock, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm and Turkey Rhubarb. Echinacea ~ directly enhances the immune system & fight bacteria, viruses, fungi and tumors. With the overuse of antibiotics and increasingly resistant microbes, echinacea is a viable alternative. Avoid Echinacea if you are allergic to daisies. Avoid goldenseal during pregnancy but is safe after childbirth. Echinacea/Goldenseal ~ is a popular duo for combating infections providing a two-fold approach to restoring health. While echinacea directly improves immunity, stimulating the activity of infection-fighting cells, goldenseal increases the flow of mucus to neutralize and wash away foreign invaders. Echinacea has been proven to increase the immune system’s production of interferon (the substance which fights viral infections in the body) as well as increase production of T-cells and other white blood cells, which fight bacterial toxins. Taking echinacea at the first sign of cold or flu can arrest the problem and shorten the duration of symptoms. Echinacea is quite effective/beneficial for abscesses, blood poisoning, boils, chronic infections, diphtheria, fungal problems, gangrene, gingivitis, inflammation, laryngitis, malaria, meningitis, pyorrhea, sinusitis, skin disease (applied externally for acne, herpes, psoriasis), Streptococcus, swollen glands, tonsillitis, typhoid, slow-healing wounds, venereal disease and post-viral fatigue syndrome. Golden Seal has been used for improving appetite, relieving liver/stomach problems, repel insects, is great for treating watery eyes (probably allergies), helps tone mucus membranes, aids ear, eye, nose & throat problems, stomach/intestinal disorders, prostate/vaginal complaints, stops internal bleeding, prevents hemorrhaging, helps tighten the tiny capillaries which can cause red eyes when the eyes are irritated, soothes eye inflammation, treats eye infections, reduces fever & inflammation associated with glandular swelling & sinusitis, relieves gingivitis, increases the secretion of digestive enzymes/fluids (esp. bile), helps with gastrointestinal infections (E. coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Shigella), helps heal damaged tissues resulting from acne, eczema, rashes, smallpox and other sores/wounds and makes an excellent mouthwash for healing sores in the mouth and gums. Some doctors recommend Goldenseal for treating ulcers in the uterus and vagina as well as for gynecological problems such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, pelvic inflammatory disease, postpartum hemorrhage and yeast infections. Echinacea/Goldenseal Liquid ~ is quite effective for strengthening the immune system as both herbs are considered “natural antibiotics”. Common uses are bronchitis, colds/flu, infection, strep throat, swollen glands, tonsillitis, aids stomach and intestinal disorders and other immune and respiratory problems. The liquid form is particularly beneficial for children and for the elderly, but may need to be mixed with juice to dilute the bitter taste. Only Echinacea and Goldenseal roots are used as scientific studies show other parts of the plants have less immune-stimulating effects. NSP’s Echinacea/Goldenseal combines two species of Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia). A 5ml serving provides 125mg of the Echinacea root blend and 125mg of Goldenseal root in a glycerin base. Ultimate Echinacea ~ Echinacea is now considered one of the best-known and safest immune strengtheners available. This humble annual herb has been shown to fight bronchitis, colds, flu, infection, strep throat and other immune and respiratory problems. Take Echinacea at the first sign of cold or flu can arrest the problem and shorten the duration of symptoms. The mechanism by which echinacea strengthens the immune system to counter bacterial and viral infections is remarkable. It is a natural antibiotic, anti-fungal, mild anesthetic properties; it keeps the lymphatic system operating efficiently; is a blood and lymph cleanser and has been shown to be quite effective against strep; is useful for blood poisoning, chronic infections, fungal problems, gingivitis, laryngitis, pyorrhea, sinusitis, skin disorders, swollen glands, tonsillitis, post viral fatigue syndrome and is even being studied as a possible treatment for HIV and AIDS. NSP’s Ultimate Echinacea is a combination of 3 powerful Echinacea’s ~ Echinacea Purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pallida in an alcohol-free glycerin base. Excellent for the kids, adults, elderly and animals! Elderberry D3fense ~ provides nutrients, which encourage a greater sense of wellness, especially during the change of seasons…a time when both the immune and respiratory systems often become overwhelmed. This excellent combination helps strengthen and maintain immunity and healthy respiratory function, working to prevent colds, flu, respiratory infections and ear and throat problems. NSP’s Elderberry D3fense is made up of Elderberry, Echinacea, Royal Jelly and Olive Leaf. Eleuthero ~ commonly known as Siberian Ginseng, is a distant relative of Asian Ginseng (Panax Ginseng). According to Chinese medicine, regular use of Eleuthero was believed to increase longevity and vitality, improve general health, provide energy, restore memory and relieve tension and stiffness in the soft tissues and joints.

Lecithin helps protects cells from damage by oxidation (which may explain why lecithin makes up the protective sheaths around the brain), helps rebuild brain cells, increases brain function, is an essential part of nerve transmission and neurotransmitter production and it actually crosses the blood-brain barrier, creating an instant reaction. Although it is a fatty substance, lecithin acts as a fat emulsifier, breaking down cholesterol and fat and helping to prevent these substances from sticking to the walls of arteries and vital organs. Lecithin causes fats, such as cholesterol, to be dispersed in water and removed from the body, is known to help prevent arteriosclerosis and helps protect the body against heart disease. Lecithin also assists in fighting infection, building the body’s resistance against disease by enhancing the colon’s absorption of Vitamin A and the liver’s absorption of Vitamin B1, improving energy, slowing the again process and aiding in the repair of liver damage resulting from alcoholism. Lecithin is obtained mostly from soybeans but also from brewer’s yeast, fish, grains, legumes and wheat germ. Many nutritionists recommend taking Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) along with lecithin.

Caution: Individuals with Crohn’s disease or bleeding disorders, those with extreme allergies to fungi or fungal spores and individuals taking blood-thinning medications including aspirin and warfarin, should not use this product. Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult their healthcare provider before using this product. Cardiovascular disease and stroke are the 1st & 3rd leading causes of death in the United States. Nearly twice as many women in the USA die of heart disease and stroke as from all forms of cancer (including breast cancer). While men exhibit a greater risk of heart attack (caused by the blockage of blood circulation to part of the heart muscle) than women, strokes (caused by the blockage of blood circulation to the brain) affect about 40,000 more women than men each year, with over 60% of all stroke deaths occurring in women. A major part of healthy blood circulation involves the constant balance between the process of blood clotting and fibrinolysis, the breaking down of fibrin (the insoluble protein that forms the essential portion of a blood clot). If normal fibrinolysis is impaired or reduced, as often happens as part of the aging process, abnormal blood clot formation occurs. Most heart attacks and strokes are caused by a small blood clot lodged within a blood vessel that blocks blood flow to either the heart or brain. Thus, it is important to take steps to help maintain normal fibrinolysis and healthy blood circulation to reduced the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.

Altho DHEA has many positive qualities, it may cause unwanted side-effects in some individuals since it can be converted into testosterone & estrogens in the body - these hormones are not recommended for individuals who are at risk of breast, prostate, ovarian or uterine cancers or prostate problems. SAM-e ~ is a natural substance found throughout the body that is synthesized from the amino acid methionine (with the help of folic acid and Vitamin B12). Tissue levels of SAM-e are typically low in the elderly and in individuals suffering from depression, osteoarthritis and various liver disorders. Not surprisingly, SAM-e has been credited with slowing and even reversing the progression of osteoarthritis, relieving depression and decreasing alcohol-induced liver damage. In fact, SAM-e has been used as a prescription drug in Europe for over 20 years for both depression and osteoarthritis and preliminary research shows that SAM-e may provide beneficial effects for fibromyalgia. SAM-e has very few, if any, serious side effects (occasional nausea & gastrointestinal disturbance) and virtually no toxicity. However, individuals with bipolar (manic) depression should not take SAM-e unless under medical supervision. Thus far, SAM-e has been shown to be one of the safest treatments currently available for osteoarthritis and depression as well as certain types of heart and liver disease. NSP’s SAM-e contains 200mg of SAM-e in each enteric-coated tablet. The enteric coating prevents SAM-e from prematurely breaking down in the bottle and also provides for optimal absorption of SAM-e in the small intestine. NSP’s SAM-e contains no artificial colors or sodium lauryl sulfate (a common ingredient found in other SAM-e supplements). SC Formula ~ combines the immune-stimulating benefits of shark cartilage and Reishi mushroom.

Each capsule of NSP’s SC Formula contains 400mg of shark cartilage and 175mg of Reishi mushroom.

Each capsule contains Arginine, Damiana, DHEA, Epimedium sagittatum, Muira puama, Oatstraw, Saw palmetto and Yohimbe bark extract. Xylitol ~ is an all-natural substance that looks and tastes like regular table sugar (or sucrose) but has 40% fewer calories and 75% few carbohydrates. Plus, unlike regular sugar, Xylitol produces only a minimal insulin response, making it an ideal sweetener for diabetics, hypoglycemics and individuals on low-calorie or low-carbohydrate diets. Xylitol also behaves like sugar in most recipes, with the exception that it does not caramelize like sugar. Furthermore, both the FDA and the World Health Organization have deemed Xylitol safe for use as a food supplement. Xylitol is a polyol (or sugar alcohol) derived from the plant fiber, hemicellulose. Xylitol is found in many foods, including berries (esp. raspberries), plums, cauliflower, lettuce and mushrooms. Xylitol is also produced by the body as part of normal glucose metabolism and has a low glycemic index of 7. Numerous studies conducted over the past 20 years have found that Xylitol provides several healthy benefits; prevents tooth decay & cavities, reduces dental plaque formation & gingivitis, promotes the remineralization (or rebuilding) of tooth enamel, stimulates saliva production and may help reduce abnormal dryness of the mouth. Eating Xylitol-sweetened food or chewing Xylitol-sweetened gum or mints inhibits the growth of bacteria responsible for tooth decay. NSP also carries Mouthwash with Xylitol…excellent! By improving oral health, Xylitol may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Other health benefits of Xylitol are the reduction in episodes of acute otitis media (short-term inflammation and/or infection of the middle ear) and the prevention of osteoporosis. Some first-time users of Xylitol may experience an initial mild laxative effect that will subside with continued use as the body’s digestive enzymes adjust to regular Xylitol intake. Xylitol is not recommended for pets, particularly dogs! Nature’s Sweet Life Xylitol Bulk sweetener is made from non-genetically modified (non-GMO) corn. This product is gluten-free and does not contain any corn residue. Nature’s Sweet Life Xylitol Gum freshens breath, cleans teeth and promotes dental health with all the flavor and none of the harmful effects of sugar-laden gum. Chewing gum after a meal stimulates the production of saliva, which washes the teeth and neutralizes harmful acid produced by bacteria. Regular use of Xylitol has been shown to help reduce dental plaque-the first stage of cavity development, tartar formation and tooth staining, and promotes better oral health. Nature’s Sweet Life Xylitol Gum contains Xylitol, gum base, natural flavor (cinnamon oil, green tea, peppermint oil or spearmint oil), vegetable glycerin, gum arabic, soy lecithin and beeswax. Nature’s Sweet Life Xylitol Mints help freshen the mouth and actually help promote oral health. Lactic acid, the most damaging acid for your teeth, is produced by the fermentation of sugar by bacteria. However, bacteria can’t ferment Xylitol, which results in less tooth-destroying acid and promotes an inhospitable environment for unwanted microorganisms. Nature’s Sweet Life Xylitol Mints contain Xylitol, calcium lactate, magnesium stearate, gum arabic, natural flavor (lemon oil, peppermint oil or berry flavor) and glazing agent (beeswax). XyliBrite Toothpaste ~ many toothpastes are laden with chemicals, preservatives, sweeteners, artificial colors and fluoride, which has been linked to health issues. NSP’s XyliBrite Toothpaste contains Xylitol, which promotes oral health & makes the mouth less hospitable to microbes and it cleans & polishes teeth with baking soda & silica. The best part? It’s safe to swallow!!! XyliBrite is an all-natural toothpaste with no artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, fluoride & does not promote tooth decay! NSP has flavored this with natural spearmint, cinnamon & anise, leaving your mouth fresh & minty! Recommended Use: apply a small amount to toothbrush & brush for 1-2 minutes, then rinse. Brush with XyliBrite between meals. For added protection, rinse with NSP’s Xylitol Peppermint Mouth Wash…your mouth will be really fresh & clean! Yeast/Fungal Detox ~ millions of bacteria reside in the gastrointestinal tract of healthy individuals. A large percentage of these bacteria are beneficial organisms (microflora) that keep the bowel functioning normally and discourage the overgrowth of Candida albicans yeast and other undesirable bacteria and fungi. Unfortunately, the overgrowth of candida yeast can result in a complex medical syndrome known as chronic candidiasis or the “yeast syndrome”. Facters that contribute to candida overgrowth include decreased digestive secretions, impaired immunity, nutrieint deficiency, diabetes, impaired liver function, many prescription drugs (especially antibiotics and steroids such as estrogen, progesterone and cortisone) and poor diet (i.e. high intake of refined sugar/carbohydrats, dairy products and mold and yeast-containing foods, including alcoholic beverages, bread, cheeses, dried fruits, mushrooms and peanuts). A wide variety of symptoms affecting virtually every system of the body have been attributed to candida overgrowth, with typical symptoms including allergies (i.e. nasal congestion, sinus problems, skin rashes), chemical sensitivities, depression, digestive disturbances (i.e. abdominal pain, belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, heartburn, indigestion), fatigue, headaches, immune system malfunction and a general sense of “feeling sick all over”. NSP’s Yeast/Fungal Detox is a nutritional formula designed to enhance immune function, promote liver health and inhibit the growth and facilitate the detoxification of candida yeast and other pathogenic (disease-causing) fungi. Yeast/Fungal Detox contains herbs and nutrients with proven antifungal and immune-enhancing activity as well as the ability to improve liver function and promote detoxification, two critical factors in the successful treatment of yeast and fungal overgrowth. NSP’s Yeast/Fungal Detox formula consists of Selenium, Zinc, Oregano, Caprylic acid, Echinacea, Sodium propionate (propionic acid), Sorbic acid, Garlic and Pau d’arco. Zinc ~ is an important element in the healthy absorption and function of vitamins, especially the B-complex vitamin. Zinc is involved in digestion and metabolism, is essential to the functioning of more than 200 human enzymes (including those necessary to synthesize DNA & RNA), is the building block of cellular membranes, is essential for tissue growth/maintenance/repair (a zinc deficiency will slow skin healing), is vital for normal joint performance, helps eyes to adjust in darkness, helps fight macular degeneration, is vital to a healthy immune system, helpful with auto-immune disorders (including arthritis), has anti-viral properties, helps reduce the problems of diabetes and increases the healing of surgical wounds and ulcers (including gastric ulcers). Zinc deficiency can hamper growth and healing, can lead to abnormalities of sense and perception (loss of smell or taste), increased risk of infection, lethargy, malfunctioning sex glands and poor appetite. Marginal zinc deficiency is actually common in this country due to the amount of extensively processed foods consumed (food processing destroys zinc). The prostate gland requires 10 times more zinc than any other organ in the body…an enlarged prostate may very will be the result of a zinc deficiency. Men who have prostate problems or men who would like to prevent them, should consider adding zinc supplements to their diet (along with B6, because B6 increases the body’s ability to absorb zinc). NSP’s Zinc is chelated. Information on this site is provided for the sole purpose of education and is not meant to substitute the advice provided by a competent health care professional.

Odlična namirnica za prevenciju ateroskleroze. - štiti od bolesti srca- vitamin B6, folna kiselina i karoteniod lutein, koje sadrži brokula, poboljšavaju zdravlje arterija i sprječavaju bolesti srca i moždani udar. - pomaže kod mršavljenja- brokula je idealna namirnica za mršavljenje. Sadrži vrlo malo kalorija, ali puna je nutrijenata. Zbog velikog udjela vlakana i vode, brokula brzo izaziva osjećaj sitosti. Brokula je bogata i proteinima, koji su bitni za izgradnju mišića i sagorijevanje masnih naslaga. Jedna čaša brokule sadrži tri puta više proteina nego čaša riže, ali pet puta manje kalorija. - sprječava alergije- brokula sadrži velike količine folne kiseline i flavonoida kaempferola, koji imaju protualergijsko djelovanje. Istraživanja su pokazala da folna kiselina regulira imunološki odgovor organizma. Zbog toga, brokula je poznata kao hrana koja sprečava astmu i alergije. - dobra je za kosti- brokula je dobar izvor kalcija i vitamina K, koji su bitni za zdravlje kostiju i prevenciju osteoporoze. - čisti organizam- brokula sadrži glukorafanin, glukonasturtian i glukobrasicin. Ova tri sastojka, koji su prirodno prisutni u brokuli, pomažu eliminaciji toksina iz našeg organizma. Lan je prirodni biljni izvor visokih koncentracija esencijalnih masnih kiselina (od čega je većina višestruko nezasićenih), dijetalnih vlakana, esencijalnih aminokiselina, te brojnih drugih vrijednih nutrijenata. Lan sadrži linolnu (omega-6), oleinsku (omega-9), te palmitinsku masnu kiselinu, a više od polovice masnoća sadržanih u lanu, čini alfa linolenska kiselina (omega-3), što laneno sjeme čini najbogatijim biljnim izvorom omega-3 masnih kiselina (dvostruko većim od ribljeg ulja). Sjemenke su također najbogatiji biljni izvor lignana, važnih antioksidanasa. Redovito korištenje sirovog lanenog ulja ima širok spektar ljekovitog djelovanja. Neka od njih uključuju djelovanje na: - stanice raka, naročito rak dojke, jajnika i prostate - mozak, te preventivno na pojavu moždane kapi - aterosklerozu - srčane tegobe, posebice pojavu srčanog infarkta, te aritmije - hipertrofiju prostate - upalu mokraćnog mjehura - nastanak žučnih kamenaca - probavu (blaga laksativna svojstva, sjemenke imaju snažnije djelovanje od ulja) - artritis i bolove u zglobovima - metabolizam masnoća u tijelu - simptome ekcema, psorijazu, akne, glatkoću i blistavost kože - simptome menopauze - imunitet i slobodne radikale Ako redovito konzumirate limun, možete spriječiti bolesti poput laringitisa, bronhitisa, gripe, prehlade, artritisa, visokog krvnog tlaka, bakterijskih infekcija, bubrežnih i žučnih kamenaca, a prema najnovijim istraživanjima i raka! Razlozi zbog kojih svakodnevno trebate popiti čašu vode s limunom: - Limun čisti jetru i stimulira njezin rad. - Prirodni je antiseptik i antioksidans. Sprečava gripu, prehladu i mnoge vrste infekcija. - Pomaže kod kolika i želučanih tegoba. - Limun je odlično sredstvo protiv peruti i masne kose. - Voda sa limunom pomaže probavi, jer je njezin sastav sličan želučanoj kiselini. - Limun potiče stvaranje enzima u jetri. - Voda sa limunom normalizira rad crijeva i olakšava njihovo pražnjenje. - Limun sprečava gingivitis i stomatitis. - Pomaže u snižavanju krvnog tlaka i povećava razinu dobrog (HDL) kolesterola. - Limun alkalizira organizam. - Voda sa limunom razblažuje mokraćnu kiselinu, a time pomaže kod artritisa i gihta. - Limun pomaže eliminirati višak sluzi iz organizma. - Sprečava grčeve i bolove u mišićima. - Limun regulira rad metabolizma. - Štiti od stresa i depresije. - Smanjuje rizik od moždanog udara. - Sprečava nastanak bubrežnih i žučnih kamenaca. - Limun štiti od osteoporoze. - Voda sa limunom pomaže mršavljenju. - bogat izvor nutrijenata- sadrži molibden (mineral u tragovima), dijetalna vlakna, folnu kiselinu i mangan, bogat mineralima poput željeza, magnezija, bakra i cinka - ima niski glikemični indeks- istraživanja glikemičnog indeksa namirnica su pokazala, da slanutak ima niski glikemični indeks (28-32) - proteini- slanutak je važan izvor makro nutrijenata, sadrži puno proteina. Kuhani slanutak sa povrćem i cjelovitim žitaricama poput riže je odličan visoko-proteinski nemasni obrok. - kolesterol- dijetalna vlakna, koja sadrži slanutak pomažu u snižavanju kolesterola u krvi na takav način, da se vežu uz žučne kiseline u tankom crijevu i sprečavaju njihovu re-apsorpciju - dijabetes- slanutak sprečava nagli porast šećera u krvi nakon jela i zbog toga je idealna namirnica za dijabetičare. Znanstvena istraživanja potvrđuju da redovito konzumiranje slanutka može spriječiti dijabetes - bolesti srca- redovito konzumiranje slanutka može smanjiti rizik od koronarne bolesti srca. - djeluju antiupalno- zahvaljujući kapsaicinu, čili ima antiupalna svojstva. Kapsaicin snažno blokira supstanciju P, koja je povezana s upalnim procesima u organizmu. Redoviti unos čilija može služiti kao odlična prevencija artritisa - sprečavaju bol- najnovija istraživanja potvrđuju da čili učinkovito smanjuje bol izazvanu artritisom, psorijazom i dijabetičkom neuropatijom. - potiču zdravlje kardiovaskularnog sustava- pokazalo se da ljute papričice smanjuju razinu kolesterola i triglicerida te sprečavaju stvaranje krvnih ugrušaka. Kulture koje široko primjenjuju čili imaju puno manji postotak srčanih bolesti, moždanog udara i tromboze. - poboljšavaju probavu- ljuti okus stimulira apetit i poboljšava probavu. Hrana koja se dobro probavlja daje tijelu neophodne nutrijente i energiju, dok hrana koja se ne probavlja dobro, stvara toksine. Zbog toga, prema ayurvedi, dobra probava je ključna za naše zdravlje. - ojačava imunitet- žarkocrvena boja čili papričica svjedoči o visokom sadržaju beta-karotena, ili pro-vitamina A. Samo nekoliko žličica čilija dnevno daje tijelu ekstra doze vitamina C i A koje su bitne u prevenciji infekcija. - sprečavaju rak prostate- istraživanja raka prostate su pokazala da kapsaicin djeluje kao pravi “ubojica” stanica raka. Nakon četiri tjedna terapije kapsaicinom, kod većine životinja zaustavljen je rast stanica raka prostate, a veličina tumora je značajno smanjena. Za prevenciju raka prostate preporučuje se uzimati 400 mg kapsaicina tri puta tjedno. - potiču mršavljenje- ljuti okus koji imaju čili papričice, povećava termogenezu - stvaranje topline u organizmu. Proces termogeneze zahtjeva potrošnju dodatnih kalorija, što rezultira gubitkom masnih naslaga. - sprečavaju čir na želucu- dugo se vremena pogrešno smatralo da unos ljute hrane uzrokuje čireve na želucu. Danas je potvrđeno da ljute papričice ne samo da ne uzrokuju čireve, nego ih sprečavaju zato što ubijaju štetne bakterije i stimuliraju stvaranje zaštitnih želučanih sokova. - pomažu kod dijabetesa tipa 2- redoviti unos čilija može spriječiti dijabetes tipa 2. Studija objavljena u American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, govori o tome da redoviti unos čilija smanjuje potrebu organizma za lučenjem inzulina kojim se smanjuje razina šećera u krvi nakon obroka. - bogata je dijetalnim vlaknima - sadrži osam esencijalnih aminokiselina - bogata je mineralima – sadrži fosfor, magnezij, željezo, cink, bakar i mangan - bogata je flavonoidima, posebice rutinom - smanjuje razinu šećera u krvi, povoljna je za dijabetičare - otkriveno je da heljda smanjuje visoki tlak i kolesterol - ne sadrži gluten, zbog toga je pogodna za alergične osobe - održava zdravlje kardiovaskularnog sistema - smanjuje rizik od raka - Cikla je tradicionalni lijek za leukemiju. Ovo povrće sadrži aminokiselinu betain, koja ima antikancerogena svojstva. Terapija ciklom, koja podrazumijeva svakodnevno uzimanje soka od cikle ili sirove ribane cikle, ima pozitivan učinak na leukemiju i mnoge druge vrste raka. - Redovito konzumiranje cikle pomaže protiv bolesti, uzrokovanih oksidativnim stresom. - Vlakna, koja sadrži cikla, mogu smanjiti razinu kolesterola u krvi i do 40%. - Poznato je da cikla normalizira krvni tlak. - Cikla pomaže u očuvanju elastičnosti arterija. Redovito konzumiranje cikle može spriječiti proširene vene. - Iako količina željeza, koju sadrži cikla, nije jako visoka, njegova kvaliteta je izvanredna. Željezo iz cikle je moćno sredstvo za čišćenje organizma od toksina i izgradnju krvi. Upravo zbog toga cikla je efikasna u liječenju mnogih bolesti, uzrokovanih toksinima. - Cikla se posebice preporučuje trudnicama zbog visokog sadržaja folne kiseline. Folna kiselina može spriječiti mnoge bolesti u novorođenčadi. - Sok od cikle stimulira rad jetre i žuči i sprečava zatvor. - Sok od cikle u kombinaciji sa sokom mrkve je odličan lijek za giht, bolesti bubrega i žučnog mjehura - Poznato je da cikla može pomoći i kod mnogih drugih bolesti: glavobolje, zubobolje, dizenterije, krstobolje, kožnih problema, menstrualnih bolova itd. Provedena istraživanja su pokazala, da jabučni ocat pomaže ojačati srce, stabilizirati razinu šećera u krvi i smanjiti rizik od mnogih vrsta raka. Ocat tjera toksine iz organizma i potpomaže mršavljenju. Postoji mnogo bolesti, koje možete liječiti sa jabučnim octom. Neke od njih su: - artritis - visoki krvni tlak- kalij, koji se nalazi u jabučnom octu, blagotvorno djeluje na srce i snižava krvni tlak. - mršavljenje- nije moguće smršaviti, ako vaš metabolizam ne radi dobro . Jabučni ocat čisti organizam i potpomaže probavi i na takav način utječe na metabolizam, koji sagorijeva masnoće, u mjesto toga da ih talože u tijelu. - karcinom- ocat se može koristiti za prevenciju i liječenje karcinoma, jer sprečava rast kancerogenih stanica. - zatvor- jabučni ocat sadrži pektin, koji pomaže radu crijeva i sprečava zatvor. - zaštita od raka- eterična ulja, koja sadrži peršin, posebice myristicin, štite od raka, posebice raka pluća, što je potvrđeno u istraživanjima. Myristicin također aktivira enzim glutathione-S-transferase, koji pomaže molekuli glutationa da se veže uz oksidirane molekule, koje bi inače uzrokovale štetu u tijelu. Zbog eteričnih ulja, koje sadrži, peršin ima kemo-zaštitni efekt, tj. neutralizira djelovanje kemijskih tvari, koje mogu biti opasne za naše zdravlje, poput kancerogena benzopirena (nalazi se u dimu cigareta) i drugih. - bogati izvor antioksidansa- flavonidi, koje sadrži peršin, posebice luteolin, djeluju poput antioksidanata, vežući se za slobodne radikale i na takav način sprečavajući njihovo štetno djelovanje na organizam. U istraživanjima se pokazalo, da ekstrakt peršina povećava antioksidacijski kapacitet krvi. Osim flavonida, peršin je odličan izvor vitamina C i A (posebice karetonoida i beta-karotena), koji imaju važnu ulogu u zaštiti našeg organizma od mnogih bolesti. Vitamin C ima mnogo različitih funkcija. On je glavni antioksidant u našem tijelu, koji neutralizira djelovanje opasnih slobodnih radikala. Kako već znamo, visoka koncentracija slobodnih radikala povezana je sa cijelim nizom bolesti, uključujući rak, dijabetes, astmu, aterosklerozu itd. Vitamin C također ima izvanredna anti-upalna svojstva, zbog čega je odličan u liječenju svih vrsta artritisa. Osim toga, vitamin C je važan za rad našeg imuniteta. Redoviti unos ovog vitamina može spriječiti česte gripe, prehlade, upale grla i uha. Beta-karoten je također važan antioksidant. Dijete, bogate beta-karotenom smanjuju rizik od pojave ateroskleroze, dijabetesa i raka crijeva. Kao i vitamin C, beta-karoten povoljno uteče na astmu, osteoartritis i reumatoidni artritis. U našem tijelu beta-karoten se pretvara u vitamin A – nutrijent, koji igra važnu ulogu u radu našeg imuniteta. - za zdravlje srca- peršin je dobar izvor folne kiseline. Folna kiselina je bitna za mnoge procese, koji se odvijaju u našem organizmu, ali najviše je poznata po ulozi, koju igra u zdravlju kardiovaskularnog sistema. Folna kiselina pomaže pretvoriti homocystein u dobroćudnu molekulu. Homocystein je potencijalno opasna molekula, koja može direktno oštetiti krvne sudove. Visoki nivo homocysteina povećava opasnost od moždanog i srčanog udara kod ljudi sa aterosklerozom ili bolešću srca. Zbog toga se ljudima, koji pate od ovih bolesti, preporučuje hrana, bogata folnom kiselinom. - zaštita od heumatoidnog artritisa- hrana, bogata vitaminom C, poput peršina, pruža zaštitu od reumatodinog artritisa. U istraživanju, rezultati kojeg su bili objavljeni u Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, sudjelovalo je preko 20000 osoba. Svi sudionici su bili zdravi i nisu bolovali od artritisa. Jedan dio sudionika slijedio je dijetu, bogatu vitaminom C, dok drugi dio – običnu dijetu. Istraživanje je trajalo nekoliko godina i potvrdilo je, da kod ljudi, koji su konzumirali hranu bogatu vitaminom C, rizik od pojave artritisa je bio smanjen u tri puta. - najveća dobrobit sastoji se u tome da štiti krvne stanice i žile od upalnih i oksidatvnih procesa- oštećenje krvnih žila visoko reaktivnim molekulama kisika je ključni faktor, koji povećava rizik od kardiovaskularnih bolesti, uključujući infarkt i aterosklerozu. Oksidativno oštećenje također uzrokuje nepoželjne upale i oksidativni stres, koji povećava rizik od začepljenja krvnih žila. Jedinstveni sastav češnjaka, koji sadrži cijeli niz sumpornih spojeva, štiti nas od oksidativnog stresa i upala. Češnjak također utječe na razinu triglicerida i općenito, kolesterola u krvi. Osim toga, što štiti naš krvni sustav od začepljenja, češnjak sprečava stvaranje krvnih ugrušaka, zahvaljujući jednom posebnom sastojku, koji se zove ajoen. Vrlo impresivna je sposobnost bijelog luka pri smanjenju krvnog tlaka. Pretpostavlja se da alicin u sastavu češnjaka blokira aktivnost angiotensina, što sprečava nepoželjnu kontrakciju krvnih sudova i rast krvnog tlaka. Ljekovito djelovanje češnjaka na kardiovaskularni sustav je također povezano sa visokim sadržajem vitamina C, vitamina B6, selena i mangana. - antiupalna svojstva- osim na krvožilni češnjak djeluje i na naš koštani, mišićni i dišni sustav. Kao diallyl sulfide, tako i thiacremonone u sastavu bijelog luka pokazuju anti-reumatska svojstva. Češnjak je također izazvao poboljšanja kod upala, uzrokovanih alergijama. Druga istraživanja, koja povezuju gojaznost sa upalnim procesima u organizmu, potvrđuju, da spojevi sumpora, koji sadrži češnjak, mogu sprečiti upalne procese, koji potiču formiranje stanica masti. - antibakterijska, antimikrobna i antivirusna svojstva- jedan od sastojka češnjaka - ajoen - pokazao se posebno učinkovitim u liječenju gljivice candida albicans. Nedavna istraživanja češnjaka potvrdila su njegovo djelovanje na bakteriju Pseudomonas aeruginosa, kao i na mnoge druge bakterije. Posebno zanimanje liječnika izaziva djelovanje bijelog luka na bakterije, koje su postale rezistentne na moderne antibiotike. - prevencija raka- pokazalo se, da redovito konzumiranje većih količina češnjaka značajno smanjuje rizik od pojave mnogih vrsta raka. Dok umjereno konzumiranje ove namirnice može poslužiti za prevenciju samo dvije vrste raka - rektuma i bubrega. kardiovaskularni sistem- indijski oraščić sadrži puno manje masnoće, nego ostali orašasti plodovi (zbog čega je posebno pogodan kao dio dijete za mršavljenje). Dvije trećine masnoća u Indijskom oraščiću su nezasićene masne kiseline. 75% tih nezasićenih masnih kiselina čini oleinska kiselina (nju sadrži i maslinovo ulje) poznata po svom blagotvornom utjecaju na zdravlje srca. dijabetis- nezasićene masne kiseline, koje sadrži Indijski oraščić, blagotvorno utječu i na dijabetes, pomažući sniziti nivo triglicerida i štiteći od daljnjih komplikacija povezanih sa visokom razinom šećera i kolesterola. Redovno konzumiranje Indijskih oraščića značajno smanjuje rizik od pojave dijabetesa tipa 2. antioksidansi- indijski oraščić je odličan izvor antioksidanata. Antioksidanti su skupina različitih prirodnih spojeva koji u organizmu čovjeka igraju važnu ulogu zaštite od štetnog djelovanja slobodnih radikala. Slobodni radikali su molekule koje imaju nespareni elektron i stoga su izuzetno reaktivni. Slobodni radikali danas se povezuju s nastankom bolesti krvožilnog sustava, sivom mrenom, rakom, bolestima zglobova i brojnim drugim poremećajima zdravlja. bakar- indijski oraščić je bogat bakrom, koji igra važnu ulogu u zdravlju našeg organizma. Bakar sudjeluje u cijelom nizu fizioloških procesa organizma, uključujući apsorpciju željeza, borbu sa slobodnim radikalima, razvoj kosti i vezivnih tkiva, proizvodnju melanina – pigmenta, koji koži i kosi daje njihovu prirodnu boju. magnezij- indijski oraščić sadrži visoke količine magnezija, koji je neophodan za rad našeg organizma. Magnezij je iznimno važan za metabolizam, igra ulogu u formiranju kostiju, proteina, masnih kiselina, grušanju krvi, opuštanju mišića itd. Redovni unos magnezija može zaštiti od visokog tlaka, grčeva u mišićima, glavobolje, kroničnog umora. mršavljenje- često se preporučuje uzimati Indijski oraščić kao dio zdrave dijete za mršavljenje. Indijski oraščići ne sadrže kolesterol, bogati su dijetalnim vlaknima i daju puno energije. Umjereno konzumiranje ove namirnice tokom dijete daje osjećaj sitosti i zadovoljstva prevencija žućnih kamenaca- redovito konzumiranje Indijskih oraščića značajno smanjuje rizik od pojave žučnih kamenaca. Ova činjenica je potvrđena istraživanjem, u kojem je sudjelovalo više od 80 tisuća žena, koje su redovito konzumirali orašasto voće. zdravlje zubiju i usne šupljine- indijski oraščić čuva zdravlje zub i desni na takav način da uništava bakterije, koje uzrokuju karijes, bolesti desni, akne, tuberkulozu i druge bolesti. - njeguje stanice, kožu, kosu, zglobove - obnavlja živce - potiče rast i život - jača ođas - vitalnu energiju organizma - obnavlja krv - jača imunitet - pomaže u izgradnji i obnavljanju tkiva - poboljšava plodnost, regulira rad hormona - potiče dug život, pomlađuje organizam - poboljšava memoriju - donosi osjećaj sreće i zadovoljstva - čisti organizam - pospješuje eliminaciju toksina - poboljšava okus hrane - podmazuje i ovlažuje tkiva organizma - poboljšava apetiti i probavu - sprečava grčeve - djeluje kao blagi laksativ - poboljšava metabolizam - regulira krvni tlak - potiče proces probave - stimulira apetit - poboljšava rad mozga - daje dobar okus hrani - donosi osjećaj zadovoljstva - poboljšava rad srca - čisti organizam - pomaže dobiti na težini mršavijim osobama - sprečava stvaranje krvnih ugrušaka - stimulira apetit - poboljšava rad probave - poboljšava okus hrane - daje bistrinu umu - pomaže u liječenju gojaznosti, loše probave, viška vode u organizmu - poboljšava cirkulaciju - posjeduje anti-mikrobna svojstva - djeluje protiv parazita - pojačava znojenje i eliminaciju toksina iz organizma - čisti krv - pomaže kod kožnih bolesti - eliminira krvne ugruške - posjeduje antimikrobna svojstva – djeluje protiv bakterija, gljivica, virusa i parazita - sprečava nagomilavanje toksina u organizmu - poboljšava rad probave - čisti krv - stimulira apetit - poboljšava rad jetre - potiče mršavljenje - poboljšava izgled kože - smanjuje mučninu - pomaže u zaustavljanju proljeva, znojenja i krvarenja - izaziva konstrikciju krvnih sudova i koagulaciju krvi - posjeduje anti-upalna svojstva - pomaže zacjeljivanju rana i ozljeda - ima umirujuća svojstva - pročišćava krv
