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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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."

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