Cells CRAVE Chlorella!! 

Recently on the Dr. Oz show guest Dr. Mecola gave some insight to Chlorella.  The discussion was around how Chlorella is amazing for daily detoxification, especially mercury.  This is vital due to the fact the AIR is FULL of MERCURY and concerns of fish having mercury as well.  What is Chlorella?? Chlorella are tiny, single-celled green micro algae found in “fresh-water phytoplankton that float on the water’s surface soaking up sunshine and converting it into green energy power cells!  Why take Chlorella?  These fast-growing, microscopic green energy cells are not only packed with chlorophyll; chlorella contains concentrated levels of protein (with all the essential amino acids) and essential fats, along with complex carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals including antioxidants, carotenoids (especially lutein for the EYES) and nucleic acids. Researchers in Japan and Korea are finding that chlorella intake has a positive effect on blood cholesterol, blood sugar and appetite control. Studies show that chlorella also has the power to remove toxins from the body which can be helpful for preventing cancer.  Dr. Oz also recommended to add cilantro, parsley and mint to your diet to aid in flushing toxins OUT!

Dr. Oz Fat Busters Green Coffee Bean Extract: Renew Life Brand Simply Trim

Categories: Antioxidants, Belly Fat, Blood Sugar, Hot products, Insulin Sensitivity, Weight Loss

Dr. Oz talked about the Green Coffee Bean extract as one of the most amazing ingredients for losing weight fast all over the body. Dr. Oz is all about Fat Busters as he is on a mission to help people lose weight. Sounds too good to be true, but with the research to back it up along with the fact it is safe Green Coffee Bean extract is something that can help millions who are in desparate need of fat loss.

Green Coffee Bean Extract Highlights:

Green Coffee Bean Extract

Green Coffee Bean Extract

  • Green coffee bean extract refers to coffee in its rawest, purest form. The unroasted seeds, or beans, of coffea fruits may slow glucose absorption and stop fat from accumulating all over your body.
  • In a new study, participants who took the supplement did not exercise nor did they change their diet, yet they lost over 10% of their body weight on average and 17 pounds in 22 weeks.

Simply Trim by Renew Life contains Green Coffee Bean Extract and it is of excellent quality with no binders or fillers.

Non-medicinal ingredients : Vegetable capsules (Hypromellose, water) Excipients: None

On the label you will see Svetol® which is a decaffeinated green coffee bean extract rich in a health-promoting antioxidant called chlorogenic acid. It is one of the few weight loss products backed by scientific research.  The chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol that is important for plant metabolism which has the same effect on humans.  It speeds up the metabolism by slowing down the release of glucose into the blood.  When this happens the body uses fat cells for energy instead of sugar.

Research also shows that Svetol® will reduce the size of fat cells within our adipose tissue. This positively changes body composition and metabolism by increasing the muscle-to-fat ratio.

Study using Simply Trim

A double blind clinical study of 50 subjects showed the following: After 8 weeks of consuming either 400 mg of Svetol® or a placebo with no change to diet and exercise habits, the Svetol® group showed a reduction of body weight of 5.7% or an average weight loss of 11 lbs. This is twice as much as the placebo group. Perhaps even more exciting is that the Svetol® group showed an increase in lean to fat mass ratio of 4%. Lean body mass is what determines your basal metabolic rate, so an increase in lean muscle mass corresponds to an increase in metabolism. SIMPLY TRIM delivers 400 mg of Svetol®, the therapeutic dosage.

Dr. Oz Talks About Alpha Lipoic Acid Helps to Prevent Diabetes on Monday March 26th

Categories: Anti-Ageing, Antioxidants, Blood Sugar, Diabetes

Do  you suffer from nasty sugar cravings? Do you often crash after you eat your lunch or feel like you are dragging yourself through the afternoon?  Many of us are struggling just to get through the day all because of the vicious cycle of sugar! At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus, we have been recommending the potent antioxidant Alpha Lipoic Acid for healthy skin, fighting free radicals and other health benefits.  Today Dr. Oz has talked about Alpha Lipoic Acid again and is recommending it to  help balance blood sugar.  Alpha Lipoic Acid is often deemed to be the near perfect antioxidant as it is both fat soluble and water soluble thus able to pass through any cell protecting us from free radicals.

One of the most important ways of beating diabetes is to know your numbers.  Dr. Oz wants North Americans to take charge of their health and being informed is the first step.

Once you know your numbers of course diet and exercise are always key to all health goals, but then there are additional things you can do to improve your blood sugar such as taking Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon Extract or PGXDr. Oz discussed today that Alpha Lipoic Acid helps lower your blood sugar; he recommends to take 300mg per day and then increase to 500mg.

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the fatty acids that is produced in our cells.  It is also found in some foods such as spinach.  We are always in shortage of this wonderful antioxidant and therefore it is important to supplement with it.

Dr Oz also recommends Phase 2 White Kedney Bean Extract.  He said:Take White Bean Extract: Often times, when you’re stressed out you reach for carbs that increase weight gain. The supplement white bean extract inhibits the enzyme alpha-amylase, which blocks the absorption of carbs and reduces your chance of developing excess belly fat. You can start out by taking 500mg of white bean extract each day before a big meal and then increase it up to twice daily.”

Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid:

  • Works together with other antioxidants to work more efficiently such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E
  • Anti-Ageing
  • Helps ease degenerative diseases
  • Protects cells from free radicals
  • Used in treatment of liver disease
  • Converts glucose into energy

VEGA – All in One Nutritional Shake!

Categories: Anti-Ageing, Antioxidants, Brain Health, Cancer, Cholesterol, Cleansing, Digestive Health, Enzymes, New Products!, Omega 3's, Probiotics, Protein Shakes

Vega Whole Meal Replacement is NEW and Improved.  It was already a top notch product, but by staying true to their roots, Sequel Naturals is never afraid to build on their foundation.  Brendan Brazier is always on top of the health curve providing you with the best ingredients to help nourish the body!

What is New about VEGA All in One Nutritional Shake?

  • Superior nutritional profile
  • A one-scoop complete serving
  • Better digestibility
  • Improved taste and texture

Highlights On VEGA One Nutritionals Profile:

  • 1000 ORAC Antioxidant Blend: they created an all-new super-fruit blend featuring maqui, acai, goji and other berries to give you a broader range of phytonutrients with over 2 times more antioxidants per scoop.
  • Green Blend: they broadened the spectrum of greens by adding chlorophyll-rich, nutrient-dense superfoods such as kale, broccoli, spinach and alfalfa, along with chlorella, to boost the nutritional profile of Vega One with 20% more greens per scoop (for a total of three full servings of veggies per scoop!)
  • Protein: they boosted their complete protein blend with SaviSeed protein, greatly increasing the tryptophan content (an essential amino acid). Vega One now boasts 15% more protein per scoop.
  • Omega-3 (and Fiber!): we added white chia—renowned for its Omega-3 content—to bump our Omega-3s per scoop up by 20%. Chia is also one of the best-quality sources of fiber, rounding out the fiber profile of Vega One nicely.

One of the Biggest concerns in the past was the taste!  It was never the best tasting stuff, but no question the quality and nutrition was there.  This is what they have to say regarding the improvements of the TASTE!

  • Improved Taste and Texture:
  • Good-for-You Can Taste Good, Too: Beloved as it was for its nutritional profile, the number one complaint about Health Optimizer we heard loud and clear over the years was how (not so delicious) it tasted. Our research was resounding proof that the next generation of Health Optimizer needed a taste overhaul. Even some of our most loyal Vega fans admit to blending Health Optimizer into smoothies—just to make it palatable. Vega One offers premium nutrition AND great taste in the same scoop, but it can also be blended for those adventurous consumers
  • Ingredients Impact Flavor: After tasting every ingredient in Health Optimizer individually, we discovered a few elements that stood out in all the worst (tasting) ways. We replaced some vitamins and minerals in our blend with more expensive, neutral-tasting sources.
  • On-the-go Portability: Delivering exceptional nutritional value on-the-go has been one of the cornerstones of Vega formulation. Our research told us the taste of Health Optimizer was a barrier to the very portability it was designed for—Vega One is so delicious mixed with water alone, you’ll never have to sacrifice taste for travel again.

Why Keep Taking VEGA?  Because their roots are still the same…

Good for your body and the planet, Vega One Nutritional Shake is the clean, plant-based choice to fuel your healthy, active lifestyle—without compromise. Made from natural, whole food ingredients, Vega One is a convenient, all-in-one supplement, packed with:

  • 50% daily intake of vitamins and minerals
  • 15 g protein
  • 6 g fibre
  • 1.5 g Omega-3
  • Antioxidants
  • Probiotics
  • Greens

Formulated by Brendan Brazier, professional Ironman triathlete and bestselling author on performance nutrition, Vega One is still free from dairy, gluten and soy, and contains no added sugar, artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners.

Available in Berry, Chocolate, Vanilla Chai and Natural flavour
