NUTRITION INDEX

Below is information of some of the key ingredients found in the True Essentials products.

Alpha Lipoic Acid - an antioxidant that is water and fat soluble. ALA plays a role inregenerating other antioxidants back to their active states.

Antioxidant Fruit and Vegetable Blend – a proprietary blend of 30 fruit and vegetableconcentrates each rich in antioxidant properties

Arginine – an amino acid that assists in wound healing, stimulating immune function, helping remove excess ammonia from the body and promoting secretion of severalhormones, including, insulin, glucagons, and growth hormones

Beta Sitosterol - organic compounds found in plants that have a function in reducingblood levels of cholesterol

Borage Oil – (evening primrose oil) contain gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that the body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). PGE1 has anti-inflammatory properties and may also act as a blood thinner and bloodvessel dilator.

Boron – appears to play a role in the metabolism of magnesium, vitamin D, copper,phosphorus, and calcium. Appears to play a role in joint and bone health.

Boswellia - strong anti-inflammatory characteristics and reduces pain associated with connective tissues and the organs these tissues protect

Carnitine - needed to release energy from fat. It transports fatty acids into mitochondria,the powerhouses of cells.

Condroitin Sulfate - forms the ground substances found in the extra cellular matrix of all connective tissues. It supports connective tissues in several ways: 1) Increases transport of nutrients into the cartilage cells. 2) Stimulates cartilage cell growth and development. 3) Inhibits protolytic enzymes that breakdown cartilage. 4) Acts as anti-inflammatory substance to protect young and older cartilage cells.

Cranberry– rich in phyto-chemicals identified to assist in urinary tract health

L-Cysteine – an amino acids that contains sulfur and helps to maintain the structure of proteins in the body.

Flower Pollen - collected from the various plant flowers, contains fat, carbohydrates, protein, and some vitamins and minerals.

Glucosamine – works with Chondroitin Sulfate to construct the extra cellular matrix of all connective tissues except body fluids. It stimulates the synthesis and metabolism of proteins required for new collagen development and repair of old cartilage, bone, tendons and ligaments. It also acts as an antioxidant to protect connective tissue cells from oxidative damage.

Glutamine - an amino acid involved in many metabolic processes. It is converted to glucose when needed, a fuel source for the intestinal cells, and is important for immune function.

Grape Seed Extract – rich in proanthocyanidins, are a class of nutrients belonging to the flavonoid family. Proanthocyanidins have antioxidant activity and play a role in the stabilization of collagen and maintenance of elastin.

Green Tea Extract – green tea, non-fermented black tea, contains active constituents identified as Polyphenols. Polyphenols may be associated with reducing the risk of cancer, stimulating the immune system, and may also promote cardiovascular health by reducing the stickiness of platelets.

Hyaluronic Acid - HA binds water and is the basis of all body fluids. Thus, HA hydrates the skin, all other body cells and lubricated all moveable body parts such as the joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and muscle. It is the fluid part of blood, cerebral spinal, joints, the eyes, tears and sweat.

Inositol – one of the B vitamins, required for proper formation of cell membranes. Inositol affects nerve transmission and helps in transporting fats within the body.

Lutein - an antioxidant in the carotenoid family (a group of naturally occurring fatsoluble pigments found in plants). It is the primary carotenoid present in the macula, the central area of the retina. Lutein may act as a filter helping to protect the macula from light.

Lycopene – is a carotenoid found primarily in tomatoes and has potent antioxidant capabilities. It has been found to assist in prostate health.

Methionine - is one of the essential amino acids and supplies sulfur and other compounds required by the body for normal metabolism and growth.

DMAE Bitartarate -(2-dimethylaminoethanol) is a chemical produced in the brain and may increase levels of the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

MSM-(Methylsulfonylmethane) an organic sulfur-containing compound found naturally in fruits, vegetables, grains and in animal protein. Plays an important role in cell metabolism and in the development of new Collagen II or connective tissues cells. It also has pain relieving characteristics associated with arthritic, immune modulation in autoimmune disorders, and in muscle repair.

Pygeum– is associated with prostate health Saw Palmetto – widely research and associated with prostate health.

Silica - contains a large number of loosely bound electrons that are available to help neutralize potentially dangerous free radicals.

Spirulina – contains carotenoids and is rich protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Taurine - an amino acid-like compound and a component of bile acids, which are used to help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins.

Vanadium – a trace mineral and may play a role in bone and teeth health.
