We do eat a lot of vegetables in our family, but how many people eat 7-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day? That's why the BioBasics is so important to us.
My
kids mix a scoop of the BioBasics with organic apple juice. Randy mixes
his with filtered water. I mix mine with ¼ cup apple juice, ¼ cup aloe
vera, (sometimes other goodies like MSM crystals) and the rest filtered
water. We shake vigorously (it comes with a shaker cup) and drink quickly!
We know we are set for the day.
It's funny, sometimes I think I have forgotten to take my vitamins, because
I am drinking them for breakfast!
A word of caution: start out with one scoop at a time with your favorite
juice. There is no added sugar or flavoring so we don't recommend serving
it for a social drink! It is something that we now totally like; especially
because of what is does for our bodies.
Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Vanessa, came in while I was working
on this script and said, "You know, Mom, since I have been drinking the
BioBasics I just feel stronger and healthier."
I know what she means. That feeling of well being is so important and
really lacking in so many teenagers today. I am grateful for many things
and the BioBasics is definitely one of them!
I started out with the Proanthenols and what a difference that one product has made for me. Once I started feeling better I guess I started taking it for granted which must be human nature. When I ran out of Proanthenols I didn't think much about it until 3 days later when my symptoms all returned. I continue to take the Proanthenols saturation dose because that is what works for me.
Antioxidants are
so important and effective in combating free radicals and protecting every
cell in our bodies. Proanthenols Bio Complex is a highly potent nutraceutical
that provides 50 times the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and 20 times
that of vitamin C. Proanthenols contains the powerful antioxidant, oligomeric
proanthocyanidins (OPCs). OPCs support our body's natural fight against
the effects of oxidation, which has been implicated in the aging process.
At the cellular level, Proanthenols provides a missing electron for imbalanced
oxygen molecules. This instability is what causes the browning of an apple
or the rusting of metal.
"The average life expectancy of many species has been increased by more than 20% by adding antioxidants to the diet . . . "
"Very few individuals, if any, reach their potential maximum life span; they die instead prematurely of a wide variety of diseases - the vast majority being free radical diseases."
Dr Denham Harman, M.D., PhD.
University of Nebraska College of Medicine.
The OPCs in Proanthenols
BioComplex, unlike other OPCs were discovered by the world renowned Dr.
Masquelier, at the University of Bordeaux, France after years of painstaking
lab research. His patented formula (U.S. Patent No. 4.698,360) is safe
and effective. It is a unique blend of pine bark and grape seed extracts
termed Masquelier's Real OPC™. These high-quality OPCs are extracted exclusively
by Berkem Laboratories in France (the leading edge extractor of this pharmaceutical
grade 100% residue free and 100% bioavailable OPC) and are certified in
writing to guarantee authenticity.
Independent studies have shown Dr. Masquelier's Original OPCs to be up
to eight times more effective at removing free radicals than grape seed
extracts.
"I firmly believe that free radicals will be the major health issue in the years to come, and that scavengers of free radicals will play a decisive role in many important aspects of health."
Jacques Masquelier,
PH.D. Professor Emeritus University of Bordeaux.
I take the Proanthenols 3 times a day because I have found that is what
helps me the most. Generally recommended is a dose of 100mg per 100 pounds
of body weight.
As a teacher and a parent, I am aware of the problems with ADD/ADHD today
and understand deeply the concerns of having children on the stimulant
drugs that are in widespread use today. A US patent was awarded to Dr.
Masquelier's important OPC invention for treating Attention Deficit /
Hyperactivity Disorder (U.S. Patent #5719178). I have seen wonderful and
encouraging results by providing supplements to both children and adults
alike that deliver nutrition to the cells, enhancing the immune system
and supporting normal bodily functions.
Another patent was awarded for the Prevention and Treatment of Heart Disease and Strokes (US Patent #5,720,956). OPC's support healthy structure and function of the heart and blood vessels. Again, the Masquelier original OPC's has 50 years of scientific research and human studies done through scientific institutions, hospitals, and universities by doctors and other medical professionals.
I now take Digestive
Formula every time I eat something whether it be a rice cracker (one Digestive
Formula) or a full-blown meal (2-3 Digestive Formula). It has meant such
a difference to me that my husband has been known to turn around and come
home to get the Digestive Enzymes if we are eating out and I have left
them behind. I do carry them with me now at all times!
I could go on about the importance of enzymes but let me just say that
we are not getting the enzymes in our food that we need. Eating cooked
food (heat destroys enzymes) and food that has been processed or stored
has created a need for supplementing this important life force for modern
man.
As we age we find we have even a greater need for enzymes. Enzymes insure
that we have proper digestion of the foods we eat and the supplements
we take. Is your body running on the proper fuel?
"A diet high in protein causes predominance in the intestine of proteolytic putrefactive bacteria which product highly toxic compounds, some of which are absorbed . . . the toxins cause or aggravate many disease states. Auto-intoxication arising from the intestine is a common occurrence and, if eliminated, health status may be expected to improve dramatically."
Dr. Alan Immerman Professional Papers
Most people would like to feel better, yet are settling for mediocre health.
I kept searching because I have had the desire for better health since
I was a small child. My mother tells me I screamed non-stop as a baby
and was an angry toddler prone to temper tantrums. I was not breast fed
and started early on a hard to digest enzyme deficient diet overworking
my digestive organs. By the time I reached grade school I had all kinds
of allergies.
"…Enzymes can withstand no cooking, boiling, frying, roasting, stewing, broiling or pasteurizing. Cookery destroys them to the extent of not 99% but 100%!"
Dr. Edward Howell (medical researcher and biochemist)
Is your Body Demanding Food Enzymes?
Digestive Formula Digestive Enzymes has worked so well for me because
they are dual phase enzymes supporting the digestion of food in both the
acid environment of the stomach and in the more alkaline intestines, by
using time-released enzymes and special buffering agents released in the
stomach and intestinal phases.
"The length of one's life in inversely proportional to the rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential of an organism. But the increased use of food enzymes promotes a decreased rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential, and thus, results in a longer, healthier and more vital life."
Dr. Edward Howell Enzyme Nutrition
I was literally starving my body because the few nutrients from the food I ate were not properly released and absorbed into my body.
Could enzymes be the missing link in your nutrition program? Find out for yourself how digestive enzymes can benefit you by aiding in the absorption of food. Remember by gaining the maximum nutritional value from the food you eat and the supplements you take you will be supplying your body with the fuel it needs to get you where you need to go!
If the above makes sense to you, maybe you would like to try Digestive Enzymes.
