There are many different types of inflammation. However, the two most common types of inflammation are acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is of short duration, which could be anything from a few minutes to a few days. Such inflammation is caused by foreign substances entering the body, or by physical damage. A viral infection may also precipitate acute inflammation.

Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, is long lasting. It may persist for weeks, months or even years. Chronic inflammation may be brought on by acute inflammation or it may be the result of an auto immune disease.

Two other, less common types of inflammation are sub-acute inflammation and granulomatous chronic inflammation. Sub-acute inflammation has clinical features of both acute and chronic inflammation – it is an intermediary stage between the two. Granulomatous chronic inflammation is a special type of chronic inflammation that is associated with tuberculosis and some lesser known diseases.[1]

When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body’s white blood cells are released into the blood or affected tissues in an attempt to rid the body of foreign substances. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause leakage of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. The inflammatory process may stimulate nerves and cause pain.[2]

Nopalea® (No–pah lay’ uh) blends antioxidant-rich Nopal cactus superfruit with naturally sweet Agave nectar to bring you a deliciously unique concentrated wellness drink. Harnessing the power of betalains, a rare and powerful class of antioxidants that flourishes in the Nopal fruit, Nopalea® delivers scientifically proven health benefits.

If inflammation is the problem, Nopalea® is the solution, because of the betalains. When you drink Nopalea, you take these betalains into your system, where they begin to restore your vitality on a cellular level. By helping the body reduce the toxins surrounding your cells and enabling essential nutrients to reach each cell, the betalains in Nopalea® can reduce the inflammation in your body that leads to disease.

"My wife consistently fights inflammation. Her wedding ring hasn’t fit for four years due to inflamed fingers. After taking Nopalea, her ring can now slide on easily. This stuff really works!" - Jon B. - Flagstaff, AZ

Vitamins and Minerals

June 16th, 2009

Did you know that your body needs essential nutrients? These nutrients come in different forms, vitamins and minerals. Do you know how to tell them apart?

Vitamins and minerals are needed for growth and good health. Most of the vitamins and minerals your body needs are found in the food you eat. That’s why it’s important to eat a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables. However, most of us do not abide to a healthy diet.

Vitamins are chemical compounds and minerals are chemical elements. They are nutrients for the human body that are contained within food substances. Vitamins control the chemical reactions within the body to convert food into energy and living tissue. They help the body use the energy nutrients, maintain normal body tissue, act as a regulator, and are only needed in small amounts.

Vitamins are organic compounds that can either be fat soluble—easily absorbed by the body, or water soluble—not easily absorbed.

Water soluble vitamins include vitamin C, folic acid and the eight B-complex vitamins. These can pass through your system quickly so be sure to replenish them often during the day by eating nutritious but small meals.

Fat soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E and K and beta-carotene. Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body tissues. They need the presence of fatty acids to be used efficiently by your body. To avoid depletion of fat soluble vitamins, be sure to include healthy fats like avocado and oils like olive, corn and sunflower.

Minerals can help you build strong bones… help promote blood platelet health to heal wounds and injuries… and give you tons of energy. The most common and critical minerals include calcium, copper, chromium, boron, iodine, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, selenium, vanadium and zinc.

Nutritional experts recommend getting most of your vitamins and minerals from your diet, but supplementation is also a simple way to boost your overall health.

It’s good to remember that each vitamin and mineral meets specific body needs. A vitamin cannot substitute, or stand in for, a mineral and vice-versa. So it’s important to get the proper nourishment of vitamins and minerals on a daily basis, if not through diet, than through supplementation.

It’s been stated that the lack, or deficiency of, one of these vitamins and/or minerals can sometimes interfere with another vitamin or mineral’s function or effectiveness. It’s also possible, if a vitamin or mineral deficiency continues, the person can incur a related disease such as beriberi, pellagra, rickets, and scurvy. Conversely, too much of some minerals and vitamins can bring on a toxic condition.

Before taking any supplements, it’s always best to confer with your doctor or health professional. If that’s been done, and you’re looking for the vitamin and mineral supplements that are right for you, click on the following link to check out TriVita’s Products.

Vitamin B-12

June 15th, 2009

TriVita has several vitamin b-12 supplements, and people always wonder which supplement is right for them. In TriVita’s latest Weekly Wellness Report, Brazos Minshew, TriVita’s Chief Science Officer, answers the all important question, "Which B-12 supplement is right for you?"

In order to keep the integrity of his answer, I’ve decided to post the answer in its entirety.

Question: TriVita has several Sublingual B-12 supplements. Which one should I take?

Answer: It depends on your needs.

Need for Vitamin B-12
Vitamin B-12 is an essential nutrient: You cannot thrive without it. You need Vitamin B-12 to make healthy blood, healthy nerves and a healthy brain. Vitamin B-12 insufficiency is implicated in a number of common conditions: from allergies and ADHD to bipolar disorder and Alzheimer’s disease. Along with iron and Vitamin C, Vitamin B-12 is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies among seniors. You may actually be protected from a shrinking brain with healthy levels of Vitamin B-12.

There are three ways of looking at "need" in Vitamin B-12:

  1. Disease. If your blood levels are low in B-12 you may be diagnosed with a medical condition called pernicious anemia. This is a serious health condition that is often caused by the inability to properly absorb B-12.
  2. Complete B-12 metabolism. Is the B-12 you are taking doing what it is supposed to do? If so, your homocysteine levels will be low. If not, your homocysteine levels will be high – even though your blood levels of B-12 are also high. B-12 along with folate, Vitamin B-6 and biotin are still needed as long as homocysteine levels are too high.
  3. How you feel. Are you mentally sluggish? Do you feel better when you take B-12? If so, you can continue to take B-12 simply to feel better because there is no toxicity associated with taking B-12.

Types of B-12

Vitamin B-12 is made from the mineral cobalt by beneficial bacterial in the soil and inside living organisms. When scientists make Vitamin B-12 for use in supplements, it is done in the same way. The "parent" form of B-12 is cyanocobalamine (cyan- means blue: the color of cobalt). Cyanocobalamine nourishes your entire body, and your liver uses cyanocobalamine to make other forms of Vitamin B-12. One of the major "children" of cyanocobalamine is methylcobalamine. Methyl-B12 is used in detoxification, especially homocysteine detoxification.

There are many other types of B-12. However, as long as you have cyanocobalamine, your body will make the other types as it needs them. The exception to this rule occurs when a person has been poisoned with toxins such as mercury and lead or when a genetic imbalance prevents them from completely converting B-12.

The type of B-12 for you

Most people over 30 need to take a B-12 supplement. The only certain way to get B-12 into your system quickly (besides injecting it) is to absorb it sublingually, under your tongue. Even people under 30 may take B-12 if they feel stressed, suffer from allergies or asthma, are sad, blue or tired. Vitamin B-12 is also helpful in people with ADHD and other nervous disorders – not as a medical treatment, but as a support for healthy blood, nerves and brain.

TriVita’s Sublingual B-12 is awesome in these circumstances. Or you may want to step up to TriVita’s Super Sublingual B-12 which is faster-acting and longer-lasting – with three times the Vitamin B-12. If your homocysteine levels are high, or if you have a family history of heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, or Alzheimer’s disease, HCY Guard may be best for you.

This should help you see the need for Vitamin B-12 as well as give you the tools you need to decide which one(s) you need!

One thing you can do, is take control of your health. It’s something you can decide to do. It’s your decision!

According to Brazos Minchew’s report, you should use Sublingual B-12 or Super Sublingual B-12 if:

  • You are over 30
  • You have any type of digestion issue
  • You have low energy
  • You have poor moods
  • You need to improve your memory

And he suggests that you should use HCY Guard if:

  • You have elevated levels of homocysteine
  • You are exposed to environmental toxins
  • You have low kidney function
  • You need detoxification

To learn more about TriVita’s Sublingual Vitamin B-12, and/or HCY Guard, go to our TriVita products web site. There are additional links and plenty of information on all of the TriVita products.

Vitamin D

June 11th, 2009

Vitamin D is found in many dietary sources such as fish, eggs, fortified milk, and cod liver oil. The sun also contributes significantly to the daily production of vitamin D, and as little as 10 minutes of exposure is thought to be enough to prevent deficiencies.

The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. Recently, research also suggests vitamin D may provide protection from osteoporosis, hypertension (high blood pressure), cancer, and several autoimmune diseases.[1]

In a recent study, a team of European researchers has demonstrated that higher levels of vitamin D are associated with improved cognitive function in middle-aged and older men.

The study compared the cognitive performance of more than 3,000 men aged 40 to 79 years, and found that those with higher levels of vitamin D performed consistently better in a test that assesses an individual’s attention and speed of information processing.

The experiment took into account factors such as depression, season and levels of physical activity.

"Previous studies exploring the relationship … produced inconsistent findings, but we observed a significant, independent association between a slower information processing speed and lower levels of vitamin D," says lead author Dr. David Lee from the University of Manchester School of Translational Medicine.[2]

Since vitamin D is primarily synthesized in the skin following sun exposure, and not many people get enough exposure to sunlight on a daily basis, and because of our fast paced lifestyle, nutritional supplements may be the best means to receive this all important vitamin.

TriVita has developed VitaCal-Mag D, which provides five forms of chelated calcium, over 20 bone-fortifying vitamins and minerals, 100% RDI of Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin D, within Chlorophyll-coated tablets that protect the valuable nutrients, which are time-releasing for optimal absorption.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea

June 3rd, 2009

Harnessing the power of betalains, a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus, TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ delivers scientifically proven health benefits.

According to Marcelle Pick, NP OB/GYN, "our bodies weren’t designed for modern life. We’re sitting ducks to a daily barrage of toxins, infectious agents and stress, seen and unseen. This kind of demand requires a lot of support to maintain your immune’s system resilience. Our go-go lifestyle just doesn’t make room unless we pay attention - to everything: what we breathe, eat, drink and absorb and feel. It all has a pro- or anti-inflammatory effect, and for most of us, the factors are skewed toward inflammation."[1]

Nopalea™ combines its betalains with other anti-toxic ingredients to combat these poisons where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies.

By increasing the activity of CYP-2E1, a special enzyme that neutralizes daily toxins, Nopalea™ protects your cells and vital organs-especially your liver-against the carcinogens, hormone disruptors, respiratory toxins, developmental toxins and neurotoxins that are responsible for one-quarter of all the world’s diseases.

When toxins assault your system-or when injury or infection strikes-your body responds with a complex biological process commonly referred to as inflammation. If this inflammation goes unchecked, it can lead to a wide variety of disorders, from stroke to arthritis to heart disease.

Dr. Pick continues, "many experts now see inflammation as arising from an immune system that’s out of control. When you catch a cold or sprain your ankle, your immune system switches into gear. Infection or injury triggers a chain of events called the inflammatory cascade. The familiar signs of normal inflammation - fever, pain, swelling - are the first signals that your immune system is being called into action."

"In a delicate balance of give-and-take, inflammation begins when pro-inflammatory hormones in your body call out for your white blood cells to come and clear out infection and damaged tissue. These agents are matched by equally powerful, closely related anti-inflammatory compounds, which move in to begin the healing process once the threat is neutralized."

Sometimes your own natural anti-inflammatory process is not powerful enough to overcome the inflammation. In other words, the inflammation is more powerful than your natural anti-inflammatory compounds. With said, we need a more powerful anti-inflammatory agent to help our bodies fight the inflammation. And that’s where Nopalea™ comes in.

Nopalea™ specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly.[2] Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

Nopalea’s betalains are not just working inside your body. Your skin is a miraculous covering that protects you from harm. Pollution, toxins, radiation and other potentially damaging influences are kept out of your body by your skin; vital organs are protected inside. One of the first signs of aging is thin, sagging, withered skin that is easily damaged.

Nopalea™ rushes to these damaged areas to shore up your protective layer. The betalains in Nopalea fill in the gaps of your cells (including the cells in your skin) and return them to the firm, robust nature of young cells - at any age. By providing a healthy environment for the cell, betalains keep it from withering.

Today, you can start harnessing the power of the Nopal cactus and its antioxidant-rich healing properties. Click on the Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ link to learn how.

Sonoran Bloom

June 2nd, 2009

Sonoran Bloom

Hippocrates became famous for his treatment of disease in accordance with natural laws. In fact, although Hippocrates is called the Father of Medicine, modern medical science completely ignores the self-evident laws of health laid down by him, which state:

Only nature heals, providing it is given the opportunity to do so;
Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food;
Disease is an expression of purification;
All disease is one.

What did Hippocrates mean when he said that "all disease is one?" I just wonder if he was referring to inflamation? After all, according to medical professionals, "inflammation is a process by which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses."[1]

According to scientific research, when toxins assault your system-or when injury or infection strikes-your body responds with a complex biological process commonly referred to as inflammation. If this inflammation goes unchecked, it can lead to a wide variety of disorders, from stroke to arthritis to heart disease.

The Nopal cactus has been called a superfruit. That’s because its powerful antioxidant betalains have been known to boost the health and well-being of all who drink in its powers.

But don’t just take our word for it. See what the scientific research community has to say.

  • "Effect of Opuntia ficus indica on symptoms of the alcohol hangover." (Wiese J, McPherson S, Odden MC, Shlipak MG. Arch Intern Med. 2004 Jun 28;164(12):1334-40.)

Immune System Boost

  • "Betalains a betacyanin pigment purified from fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica induces apoptosis in human chronic myeloid leukemia Cell line-K562." (Phytomedicine. 2007 Nov;14(11):739-46.)

TriVita’s Nopalea™ (made from the Nopal cactus) specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly.[2] Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

If it’s true what Hippocrates says, "all disease is one", and if the majority of diseases are in some way related to inflamation and toxins, doesn’t it make sense to try TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™, which has the powerful antioxidant betalains.

"The whole body pain I have been experiencing now for about a year and a half is gone!"

"Just wanted to thank you for Nopalea™. I have noticed so much difference already since I started taking Nopalea™. The whole body pain I have been experiencing now for about a year and a half is gone! My joints were swollen so much that I have not even been able to wear my original wedding ring for 4 years. I finally can now. Thanks so much."
Pathrecy B. – Flagstaff, AZ

If inflamation is the problem - Nopalea™ may be the solution.

Vitamin Supplements

May 31st, 2009

The life expectancy of people has increased considerably during the last 50 years. To make sure that your senior years are lively ones it’s imperative that you lead a healthy lifestyle through a balanced nutritional diet. It’s also vital to get enough sleep and exercise on a regular basis. Taking nutritional supplements plays an important role in reducing the risk of disease as well as supplying the body with anti-aging nutrition, improving its energy and health.

Finding the proper vitamin supplement that fits your needs can be difficult. Not all vitamin supplements are the same. For example, all-in-one or one-a-day type vitamin supplements are not the best source of vitamins and minerals. They cram all the required vitamins and minerals into just one small tablet. In all reality, it’s a great marketing concept, but a waste of time and money.

It’s imperative to be aware of the fact that the nutritional requirements of men and women does differ from one another. Be sure to find out which vitamin supplements are right for your sex. It’s been stated by several nutrition experts that women 30 years and older need to take supplements containing nutrients that help stabilize the female hormones, whereas men ideally need nutrients that benefit prostate health. Whether male of female, you will not find the proper nutrients in an all inclusive multiple vitamin.

To ensure that you’re taking the proper vitamin supplements it’s wise to seek the advice of a nutritional expert. If you do not know one, surf the Internet in the area of nutrition, or nutritional supplements. There are plenty of web sites that offer great products and free advice about what vitamin supplements your should be taking. Make sure you research the pros and cons of any vitamin supplements before spending your hard earned money.

You can learn all about nutritional vitamin supplements by going to TriVita website.

Looking for vitamin supplements? TriVita has a full array of vitamin supplements to choose from.

Omega Prime

May 29th, 2009

Omega Prime

To many, it’s a known fact that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) have plenty of positive affects on the human body. Nutritionists and medical professionals would probably all agree that eating foods, like salmon, tuna, and mackerel are more healthy than eating any type of meat. Unfortunately, a lot of people do not like fish.

According to experts, and a new study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there are three primary reasons for a high ranking of omega-3 deficiency as a risk factor for preventable death:

  1. Omega-3s are proven to prevent stroke, second heart attacks, and sudden cardiac death, which is responsible for half of all heart-related deaths.
  2. Omega-3s appear to reduce depression, which is linked to heart disease and suicide.
  3. Omega-3s are critical to proper immune function.

The study revealed "that a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet causes up to 96,000 preventable deaths annually in the United States." The researchers also went on to say that "low omega-3 intake ranked as the sixth greatest killer, responsible for about 84,000 preventable deaths in 2005."

Causing 84,000 preventable deaths, low omega-3 intake was found a greater risk factor than high intake of trans fatty acids (82,000 preventable deaths), found in hydrogenated vegetable oils (Danaei G et al. 2009).

What is the recommended daily requirement of omega-3 fatty acids?

Most world health authorities recommend taking 500mg or more per day, and the American Heart Association recommends that heart patients take 1,000mg per day under medical supervision.

If fish is your best source of EPA and DHA’s, and your not a fish eater, how else can you get this all important polyunsaturated fat?

Many brands of omega-3 oils and supplements are available in grocery stores and vitamin shops. If you choose fish oil, be sure the brand you select is mercury free. TriVita’s Omega Prime is a supplement that I suggest, and one gives you the needed fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Before taking any supplements, first and foremost, ask your health professional then read as much as you can about the additional fish oil benefits. You’ll find that they provide an amazing array of health benefits.

Weight Loss

May 28th, 2009

Weight Loss

The faster your metabolism runs, the more calories you burn. The more you burn, the easier it is to drop pounds. And get this – you can make your metabolism work harder, a lot harder, 24 hours a day.

Getting your metabolism to work at a higher degree is just part of the weight loss process. However, it’s what most nutrition experts say is the fastest way to lose those unwanted pounds.

TriVita’s Leanology is a product that will help you increase your metabolism. Leanology Capsules are made with nutrients – not stimulants – that promote lean body mass while helping reduce body fat. These fat-burning capsules help you avoid storing carbs and sugar as fat, while reducing food cravings.

"You have a huge amount of control over your metabolic rate," says John Berardi, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., author of The Metabolism Advantage. "You can’t affect how many calories it takes to keep your heart beating, but you can burn an extra 500 to 600 calories a day by exercising properly and eating right." And by making a few changes to your routine. [1]

There are approximately 50 million Americans who go on diets each year – yet only 5 percent keep the weight they lose off. Many people trying to lose weight continually struggle to find an effective weight loss method. Unfortunately, there is no magic wand someone can use to lose weight and/or to keep the weight off. Some experts say that the only proven way to lose weight and keep it off is by making permanent lifestyle changes. You must eat healthier, watch portion sizes and be active.

As part of your lifestyle change, I suggest trying TriVita’s Leanology three step system to weight loss. Leanology Weight Loss Capsules are no ordinary "diet pills." They are clinically proven to help reduce body weight and fat and are made with natural, stimulant-free ingredients including Converta™, The Fat Burning Accelerator.

Fat is really just stored energy. When you consume more energy – in the form of food – than your body can use, it is stored as fat. There are about 3,500 calories of energy stored in every pound of excess fat. The nutrients in Converta™ target this stored energy and release it.

Converta™ liberates fat from your diet and your fat cells, and prepares it to be used as energy. Nutrients break down the fats into packets of fuel in your bloodstream and help your cells receive this fuel. Once the fuel enters your cells, it is burned and its energy is released.

Leanology Weight Loss Capsules do much more than convert fat to energy. They also help:

  • Limit cortisol production – the stress-caused hormone that can lead to belly fat
  • Control appetite by minimizing sweets and carb cravings
  • Use the carbs and sugar you consume as energy, rather than storing them as fat, which helps with blood sugar balance

Plus, Leanology Weight Loss Capsules are convenient and easy to use. Simply take the capsules with meals or a healthy snack, such as Leanology Appetite Control Chews.

Weight Loss Motivation

May 4th, 2009

Why do some people lose weight on their own, while others need the support of an easy to follow structured program? Motivation! Some overweight people are successful at losing weight on their own because they know that it can reduce the threat of heart disease. On the other hand, some overweight people may not see that as a motivating factor.

Becoming, and staying, motivated to lose weight may be easier with a structured weight loss program. Let’s take a look at what you should look for in such a program.

Before joining any structured weight loss program, make sure they will teach you how to change your eating habits and lifestyle factors permanently. For example, make sure they focus in on the importance of physical activity, and how the lack of that activity has contributed to your weight gain.

Make sure that the staff made up of a variety of qualified counselors and health professionals such as nutritionists, registered dietitians, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and exercise physiologists. Before undertaking any weight loss program you want to be evaluated by a physician. It’s important for them to know if you have any health problems, are currently taking any medicine, or plan on taking any medicine, or plan to lose more than 15 to 20 pounds. If your weight control plan calls for a very low-calorie diet, an exam and scheduled follow-up visits to a doctor are suggested.

The program should provide long-term strategies to deal with weight problems you may have in the future. These strategies might include things like setting up a support system and establishing a physical activity routine. After all, the reason for joining a weight loss program is to, not only lose weight but, keep it off.

So make sure you choose a program that teaches skills and techniques to make permanent changes in eating habits and levels of physical activity to prevent weight gain.

Many weight loss methods that rely on diet aids like drinks, prepackaged foods, or diet pills typically don’t work in the long run. However, there is one weight loss system that I’ve found to be very effective, TriVita’s Leanology™.

Leanology™ products are scientifically formulated and physician approved. They are natural, nutrient based, and contain no stimulants. Leanology™ has been clinically proven for optimal, healthy weight loss. The Leanology™ system of products is convenient and easy to use!

The reason Leanology™ has been so effective is because of the three part process. This is not your " take one pill a day" claim to weight loss. It’s a system! It’s a process! It’s a steady, slow process, that gets results. Like anything worth while, weight loss takes time, a conscious effort, and motivation. It does not happen overnight!

Remember, quick weight loss methods DO NOT provide lasting results. Whether you lose weight on your own or with a group, the most important changes are long term. Furthermore, no matter how much weight you have to lose, modest goals and a slow course will increase your chances of both losing the weight and keeping it off.
