Nutritional Support for Cholesterol & Blood
	A-F Betafood ® A- F Betafood contains beet juice - a rich source of betaine. Betaine has been shown to be an effective lipotrophic agent. Lipotrophic agents promote the healthy transportation and use of fats, and help to reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver. Vitamin A supports proper fat storage activity. Vitamin F complex is intimately involved in the healthy metabolism of blood fats. The vitamins and synergistic cofactors naturally found in A- F Betafood support healthy blood flow before and after meals.*
	Antronex ® Antronex contains Yakriton - a bovine liver fat extract discovered in the 1920 ’s by Japanese researchers. Yakriton supports healthy liver function by enhancing blood-filtering activities, thereby promoting the liver’s natural detoxifying efforts. Histamine is released from cells when tissues become challenged. Yakriton can help balance histamine production.*
	Betacol® A member of the liver and digestive support family of products, Betacol enhances the cleansing function of these organ systems and supports their shared roles in metabolizing fats.*
	Garlic Garlic enjoys a long history of supporting healthy cardiovascular function and can help maintain normal blood lipid levels. Garlic is beneficial in maintaining the healthy flow of blood throughout the circulatory system. Garlic also proves a powerful protector against cell damage from free radical assault. Sulfur containing compounds such as those found in garlic can help maintain healthy cell growth and division.*
	Betafood® Betafood® Contains Beet Root Powder, Dried Beet Leaf, And Naturally Occurring Betaine. Beet greens are a source of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), iron, vitamins A and C, and beta-carotenes. Both the tops and the root of the beet contain folic acid , a vitamin essential for maintenance and repair of the gastrointestinal tract. Folic acid deficiencies can result in neural tube defects in infants. Both beet tops and tubers also have potassium, helping to balance the high sodium intake of most Americans. Adequate potassium is needed for proper muscle functioning and blood pressure control. Beets are also a good source of betaine, a substance being recognized for its role in cardiovascular and liver health.*
	Cataplex® A The Standard Process vitamin A product, like the other Standard Process products, is an extract from numerous whole foods, giving a broad pattern of nutritional factors. There was a report from South America a few years ago, saying that vitamin A helped lower cholesterol levels. American investigators did some checking. They said no, someone had made a mistake, vitamin A does not have cholesterol-metabolizing properties. We investigated and found that in South America the doctors were using vitamin A made from beef kidney fat. In the United States, doctors were using vitamin A made from fish liver oil. So vitamin A products have numerous functions, depending on their source.
	Cholaplex ® Health care professionals continue to emphasize the need for people in every age group to increase the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet. One of the reasons they promote this idea so vigorously stems from the fact that these types of foods contain vitamins and minerals essential to numerous metabolic processes inside the body. While Americans as a whole are becoming more and more aware of the need to exercise regularly and make better food choices in order to support healthy levels of cholesterol in their blood, many still neglect to get enough of these important nutrients on a daily basis. This is especially true for older Americans, since the B vitamins become more difficult to absorb as we age. Research suggests that reducing some types of fat in the bloodstream can help keep the circulatory system healthy. The riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, and iodine in Cholaplex work together to support efficient metabolism of blood fats - including cholesterol. Lecithin from soy beans, choline from choline bitartrate and niacin from niacinamide help to reduce cholesterol and saturated fat in the blood and arteries. Riboflavin, from riboflavin 5- phosphate and organ meats, assists in metabolizing fats and serves as the intermediary in transferring electrons during oxidation- reduction reactions. Vitamin B6 from pyridoxal 5- phosphate, organ meats, soy beans, and wheat germ promotes red blood cell formation. Iodine from prolamine iodine (iodine bound to zein, which is corn protein) enhances cardiovascular activity by increasing vascular sensitivity to nerve impulses.*
	Garlic Garlic has been recognized as a spice, a food, and an herbal folk remedy around the world for centuries. Sometimes called the “four thousand year-old health food,” garlic has been used for a variety of health conditions—and modern science is now proving what folklore has known intuitively. Today hundreds of scientific studies report the powerful health-giving benefits of garlic. Garlic can help maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system and also has tremendous value as an anti- oxidant that can protect the body against free radicals.*
	Hepatrophin PMG ® The liver is the site where a great number of cleansing and metabolic functions occur. The products of digestion and other materials pass through the liver before entering the general circulation to nourish the body. Hepatrophin PMG contains Protomorphogen™ extracts - uniquely derived nucleo- protein mineral extracts that support healthy cellular repair, replication, and division. The bovine liver PMG ™ extract in this product helps keep the liver in a good state of repair to support healthy liver function.*
	Livaplex ® Livaplex is primarily a liver support product that works to promote healthy enzyme production in the liver. These enzymes help the body naturally convert potentially harmful substances into less toxic compounds. Healthy liver function breaks down toxins to promote free blood flow. This helps keep the head clear of that "full" feeling.*
	Phytolyn™ Kale and brussel sprouts contain phytonutrients that protect cells from free radicals - highly unstable molecules that can disturb normal cells and genetic material. The nutrients in these Brassica vegetables also stimulate the body ’s natural cleansing systems, including the enzymes that detoxify body wastes.*
	Soy Bean Lecithin Soy lecithin is a phospholipid, a phosphorous-containing fat whose key constituent is Choline, a substance that is crucial for a variety of basic metabolic functions and structures. For instance, it is a component of the major neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Lecithin is necessary for fat transport, enzyme control, and, in the cell membrane, as a carrier of hormone messages. Until recently dietary choline was considered to be unnecessary. However, nutritional scientists are reconsidering this assumption and reevaluating choline as an essential nutrient. Soy Bean Lecithin perles also contain pure, unrefined soy oil, a source of linoleic and alpha linolenic essential fatty acids. These fatty acids are needed for many body functions including utilization of oxygen and growth, the immune response, and are also required in everything from cell membranes to healthy skin and hair. They are also necessary to form prostaglandins, powerful, short-acting hormone-like molecules that regulate body chemistry.*
	SP Green Food Over the years, the familiar statement "don't forget to finish your vegetables" has evolved from a loving reminder to a thoroughly researched, national health recommendation for people of all ages. Nutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, enzymes, and hundreds of other substances necessary for normal growth and development, a healthy immune system, antioxidant protection, and for cleansing our bodies from all kinds of toxins. Both the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health recommend eating a minimum of five fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Recently, the National Foundation for Cancer Research endorsed an even greater amount of five to nine servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Unfortunately, people at any age find it difficult to reach even the minimum requirement, with children topping the list. While we all need certain nutrients to maintain our bodies, children rely on them even more to grow and develop healthy bodies and minds. The next best thing to actually eating five to nine servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily is to help support the diet with supplements made from natural, whole foods, containing nutrients in their natural form - complete with all of their synergistic co-factors.
