LifePak & Antioxidants Powerful Antioxidant Protection Protects free radical damage helps ensure healthy cell renewal Protects from other free radical damage

LifePak & Antioxidants Many types of antioxidants must work together (in synergy) to afford effective protection from free radical damage. Antioxidant Defense System

LifePak Antioxidants Vitamin C Vitamin E Selenium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese Alpha-Lipoic acid Phytonutrients: -Carotenoids -Flavonoids, incl. Catechins

LifePak Antioxidant Studies The first multivitamin/mineral supplement that has been clinically proven to promote antioxidant protection Two double-blind studies Abstract published in FASEB J. 13(4): A546 (cross-over study)

LDL Oxidation LDL are prone to oxidation by free radicals. Antioxidants can improve LDL s resistance against free-radical oxidation.

LifePak Studies: Conclusions LifePak improved antioxidant status. LifePak increased LDL s -resistance against free-radical -oxidation, and thus, may have -cardiovascular benefits. LifePak is safe and well-tolerated.

Common Nutrient Deficiencies vitamins A and E the bone minerals calcium and magnesium trace minerals iron particularly for women--, and zinc. vitamin D, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B 6, folate, vitamin B 12, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and chromium.

LifePak B-Vitamins Balanced according to physiological needs Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body like fat-soluble forms Thiamin (vitamin B 1 ) Riboflavin (vitamin B 2 ) Niacin Vitamin B 6 (pyridoxine) Folic Acid Vitamin B 12 Pantothenic Acid Biotin

LifePak Trace Elements Top quality sources provide optimum bioavailability and tolerance Many trace elements work as cofactors to form antioxidant complexes in the body Zinc Iron Copper Chromium Manganese Molybdenum Selenium Yeast

Chelates & Bioavailability Bioavailability = the body s ability to utilize a nutrient = absorption + tissue uptake + metabolic functions. Amino acid chelates and organic salts tend to have the highest bioavailability and solubility of all mineral forms. Amino acid chelates and organic salts are often better tolerated than inorganic mineral salts. H 2 C O=C NH 2 Me O C=O O H 2 N CH 2

Bone Nutrition: Calcium Calcium (Ca) is the major bone mineral, and it promotes strong bones and helps slow bone loss. -Calcium intake: 55% of men and 78% of women do not meet the RDA! -Calcium RDA = RDI (DV): 1,000 mg/day -1 glass of milk = 300 mg calcium = 30 % DV -LifePak has 500 mg Ca = 50 % DV

Calcium Absorption During childhood we are able to absorb up to 75% of the calcium we consume, but as growth slows, so does the calcium absorption rate. Teens absorb 20% - 40% of ingested calcium, and adults, on average, absorb around 15%.

Bone Nutrition Calcium alone is not the answer!

Calcium alone is not the answer! -Magnesium Like Calcium (Ca), a structural component 60 % of body s Magnesium (Mg) is in bone Magnesium supplementation increases BMD -Vitamin D helps regulate Ca, Mg, and bone metabolism -Vitamin K promotes Ca incorporation into bone

Bone Loss During Menopause Postmenopausal women lose bone mineral density in two phases. The early bone loss is rapid and commences during irregular menstruation, then is attenuated within six years after the onset of menopause. The second bone loss commences after the attenuation of the first bone loss. *J Bone Min Res 1998;13(8):1350-1.

Cardiovascular Health Key Cardiovascular Nutrients Vitamin E Vitamin C Vitamin B 6, folate, vitamin B 12 Carotenoids Flavonoids Magnesium and calcium

Homocysteine B6, B12, and folic acid help maintain normal, low blood levels of homocysteine. Homocysteine is a byproduct of methionine metabolism.

LifePak Phytonutrients LifePak provides a broad spectrum of: Carotenoids (lutein, lycopene, beta-carotene) Flavonoids (citrus bioflavonoids, curcumin, grape seed extract, cabbage & broccoli extracts) Equivalent to antioxidant benefit of 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables

Normal Glucose Metabolism Maintains blood sugar levels already within the normal range -High antioxidant nutrients vitamins C & E -Significant amounts of alpha-lipoic acid, magnesium zinc chromium

Immune Function Key Immune Nutrients Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin E Vitamin B 6 Zinc Selenium These nutrients have been shown to improve immunity of populations at risk of deficiencies.

LifePak Advantages LifePak health benefits: 1. antioxidant protection 2. common nutrient deficiencies 3. bone nutrition 4. cardiovascular health 5. glucose and insulin metabolism 6. immune function 7. promotes general well being
