Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) Contrary to popular belief, the body does need fat. However it must be the right kind. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) must be supplied through diet or supplementation. Otherwise known as polyunsaturates, EFAs improve the skin and hair, reduce blood pressure, aid in the prevention of arthritis, and lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A deficiency of EFAs can lead to an impaired ability to learn and recall information. The most common EFAs are Omega-3 (fresh deepwater fish, fish oil, flaxseed oil) and Omega-6 (raw nuts, seeds, legumes, unsaturated vegetable oils such as borage, primrose, sesame and soybean). Oils should be taken in their pure state or in supplement form, since subjecting them to heat will change their structure and transform them into a trans-fatty acid. In your "Fab Four Kit", you can choose from: Max EFA, a combination of Omega-3's and -6's, Prim Royal, a combination of two important polyunsaturated fatty acids that are commonly taken by women who suffer from PMS and or menopausal symptoms.

Antioxidants Antioxidants are natural compounds that help protect the body from harmful free radicals, which can cause damage to every living cell in the body. Free-radical damage impairs the immune system and can lead to infections and various degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants protect against free radical damage. With free radicals constantly being generated in our already polluted environment, it is essential to supplement with an antioxidant. In your "Fab Four Kit", you can choose from: Co-Enzyme Q10, the spark the produces energy at the cellular level for the prevention and treatment of heart and circulatory diseases. Grapeseed Synergy, helps protect against damaging free radicals and is a natural protection against aging. Vitamins and Minerals Today's lifestyle makes it very difficult for the body to obtain all of the vitamins and minerals required for a properly balanced diet. Therefore, supplementation is highly recommended. Vitamins are essential to life. They contribute to good health by regulating the metabolism and assisting the biochemical processes that release energy from digested food. The majority of vitamins are either water-soluble or fat-soluble and they are both essential for the proper functioning of the body. Water-soluble vitamins must be taken into the body daily since they cannot be stored and are excreted within four to twenty-four hours (vitamin C and B-complex vitamins). Oil soluble vitamins can be stored for longer periods of time in the body's fatty tissue and the liver (vitamins A, D, E and K). Minerals are necessary for the proper composition of body fluids, the formation of blood and bone, the maintenance of healthy nerve function, and the regulation of muscle tone, including the muscles of the cardiovascular system. Since all enzyme activities involve minerals, they are essential for proper utilization of vitamins and other nutrients. Chromium Mineral (Chromagic): Chromium is involved in the metabolism of glucose and is needed for energy. It is vital in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and proteins. It also helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels when combined with proper insulin use. Enzymes Known as the "sparks of life", digestive enzymes break down food particles for storage in the liver or muscles. This stored energy is later converted by other enzymes for use by the body when necessary. Enzymes are often divided into two groups: Digestive Enzymes ­ the three main categories of digestive enzymes are: AMYLASE for breaking down sugars (carbohydrates); PROTEASE for helping digest protein; and LIPASE aids in the digestion of fats. Metabolic Enzymes ­ the activities of all of the body's organs, tissues, and cells, such as energy production and detoxification are governed by metabolic enzymes. These enzymes are the "workers" that build the body from proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Their specific work is found in the blood, organs and tissues. As powerful as they are, enzymes cannot act alone and should be paired with co-enzymes, in order for them to be fully active. The most important co-enzymes are the B-complex vitamins (Stress Forte), vitamin E (Nutri-E) and zinc (Zinc Loz). In your "Fab Four Kit", you will find: Ultrazyme, which contains AMYLASE, PROTEASE and LIPASE. This product is strongly suggested for those Free radicals are a significant factor in aging and disease development. Antioxidants remove free radicals from our body and, as a result, reduce associated signs of aging. Resveratrol, the antioxidant found in red wine, promotes healthy aging.
