TriVita Health — While Josh serves America in Iraq, TriVita serves his need to stay healthy

Many of us get stressed out by such small things as getting stuck in traffic or watching our favorite sports team lose a game. But few of us have to endure the level of daily stress that the men and women in the military go through every day – especially those who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And how about the stateside families who try to live normal lives while their loved ones are in danger?

One such person is Josh, who just completed his second tour of duty in Iraq. A six-year veteran, he enlisted after college to fight terrorism. The 9/11 events had a huge impact on him and he felt it was his generation’s duty to come to the aid of their country. “I’m proud of my service in the U.S. Army, Special Operations and feel honored to serve this great nation,” Josh says. He and his wife, Kate, are looking forward to the birth of their baby in July.

What Josh does to stay healthy
Like so many of us, Josh tries to eat the right foods and take nutritional supplements. This becomes extremely difficult in Iraq where soldiers don’t always have access to nutritious foods and fresh fruits and vegetables – especially when they are far away from their “home base.” Luckily, Kate and her mom regularly send Josh “CARE” packages packed with TriVita products.

Dr. Libby’s Vital C Crystals and Tablets help maintain his immunity during his constantly stressful situation. These products also play a key role in flushing impurities from Josh’s system. He adds Optima4® to his shake every morning to give himself a much-needed boost of energy and more mental clarity for 15-hour days. “Of course,” says Josh, “This is very important when I’m on life and death missions.” Digestive Complex™ with its eight food-grade enzymes helps ensure complete digestion. Other members of Josh’s platoon have become curious about his continued good health and he has generously shared TriVita products with them.

Good health begins at home
Kate also makes sure she maintains her good health while Josh is overseas. “I use Sublingual B-12 consistently because it is good for me and helps with mental clarity,” she says. “I also take Vital C and that’s a big reason I haven’t been sick for over a year. Both Josh and I are very active and we also keep at least two jars of Quick-Relief™ Gel on hand. This product helps tremendously with muscle aches and pains.”

The psychological strain of Josh’s long absences can be hard for the entire family. Says Kate, “The important thing is to stay busy. I plan several activities with friends weekly, because it’s important to have something to look forward to. I’ve been so fortunate because friends and family have visited while Josh has been away, and it’s always nice to have the company for a few days at a time.”

TriVita is “all in the family”
Kate’s mom, Sue, is an Affiliate Member who has risen to the Director level. All of her siblings are Affiliate Members; her oldest brother just graduated from medical school and her youngest brother is in osteopathic medical school. They both use TriVita supplements, especially Sublingual B-12 and Vital C. Kate’s sister, Christian was featured in the Affiliate Member version of the March 2009 VitaJournal. Her dad takes several TriVita supplements; her grandmother is a healthy 86 thanks to her daily regimen of Vital C, Sublingual B-12 and VitaCal-Mag D™.

“Our entire family loves TriVita food supplements,” Kate concludes. “We’re very grateful that they’ve helped keep Josh and his entire family healthy during his tour of duty in Iraq.”

TriVita would like to thank all the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces.

TriVita Health — Real Stories from real people
See what Members like you have to say about TriVita® products!

“… since taking the Sublingual B-12 our son has become calmer…”
“Our son would get these wheezing attacks from his condition the doctors call ‘croup variant asthma’ in which we would have to take him to the emergency room. The worse attacks would come upon him from November through April. Our son was taking multiple prescriptions, and so we ordered the Sublingual B-12 as well as other vitamins from TriVita to help restore his immune system and keep him calmer and focused. We were so happy our son likes the flavor of the Sublingual B-12, because we want him to take it every day. We never have a fight with him taking the Sublingual B-12 like we did with the medicines. The great news is since taking the Sublingual B-12 our son has become calmer and hasn’t gotten as anxious or as agitated, which has kept him from having any more of these attacks. His last wheezing attack was December 2007. Thank you, Lord, for letting us find out about TriVita’s fantastic products.” Anna S. – St. Petersburg, FL

“… my bone density actually improved 4%! I was thrilled!”
“I’m 65 years old. Several years ago I had a bone scan and was diagnosed with osteopenia. My doctor put me on a prescription medicine. I tried it for awhile but stopped taking it.*

My doctor suggested I take 1,500 mg of calcium a day instead. I was very interested in Bone Builder when it became available and started taking it. Just a couple of weeks ago I had another bone scan. The technician said that they sometimes see improvement of 1% or so, but my bone density actually improved 4%! I was thrilled! I really believe that improvement is attributed to Bone Builder because I’ve taken the extra calcium for awhile but only recently saw these improvements. The technician asked for information about Bone Builder because they said it normally takes 1 to 1 1/2 years for bones to rebuild, and see that 1% improvement, so I was just thrilled with the results. It says a lot for your product!” Karen D. – Baton Rouge, LA

“I have had two scans in the last two years and it’s amazing – my bones are fine.”
“Five years ago I was diagnosed with osteopenia, or thinning of the bones, in my lumbar area. I also had a lot of pain associated with the osteopenia. When I walked it was really painful and I walked like I was 80 years old! I tried various medications but they didn’t work. So I tried Bone Builder when it came out. I have had two scans in the last two years and it’s amazing – my bones are fine. Plus, now I can walk without the pain! I had a friend try the Bone Builder, and she loves it, too.” Bobbie S. – Jamestown, NC

“I haven’t had night sweats since I began the Balanced Woman.”
“The prescription that my doctor gave me for my night sweats just wasn’t working. Plus, I was very apprehensive about taking the hormones, since I had heard so many negatives about them. I was having a terrible time sleeping and getting migraines quite often. I began taking TriVita’s Balanced Woman and I’m so very impressed! I’m feeling a lot better. Not only am I sleeping better, but I’m actually dreaming more, which means I’m going into R.E.M. sleep and getting a more rejuvenating sleep. I get migraines less often and when they do come, not as severe. I haven’t had night sweats since I began the Balanced Woman. Now, my doctor wants to place an order for it, too! Thanks, TriVita!” Diane Y. – Castle Rock, CO

“In about 5 weeks I’ve lost 21 pounds.”
“My daughter convinced me to try Leanology. In the last 10 years I had gone up 4 sizes. I live in an apartment that has a lot of stairs, and lately going up them has been really hard on my knees. I also have neuropathy with my diabetes. In about 5 weeks I’ve lost 21 pounds. I usually drink two Leanology shakes a day. I make mine with fat free milk and often add a sliced banana or a handful of frozen blueberries or mixed berries. I take the capsules in the morning and in the afternoon. They help me not to be hungry. I don’t nibble anymore.

After I lost some of the weight, I had the energy to join a water aerobics class. But the best part is that my doctor says that I might be able to go off my insulin by the first of the year. I can’t wait to give you my next update!”* Sharon K. – Castle Rock, CO

“It really helps with the stress I have.”
“I started taking Adaptogen 10 Plus during the trial period. It really helps with the stress I have from taking care of my 3-year-old and 4-year-old grandkids. The Adaptogen 10 Plus also gives me the energy I need to keep up with their demands. With the Adaptogen I can stay up until 10:30 or 11 o’clock at night, and I noticed that I get a lot more done late at night, after the kids are in bed. I also sleep better! My mind is clearer and I’m not so forgetful.” Dale L. – Peachtree City, GA

*You should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program, before taking any medication, or if you suspect you might have a heart problem. You should not stop taking any medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.

TriVita Health — Start rebuilding and nourishing bones at an early age
TriVita makes two outstanding bone health supplements: Vitacal-Mag D™ and Bone Builder
By Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer

The calcium debate – and what it means to you
Calcium is an essential nutrient for all animal and plant life. It begins life as a mineral called calcium carbonate – a rock. Plants extract calcium salts (calcium chloride) and use them in creating energy. As the food chain continues, herbivores (plant-eating animals) consume the plants and concentrate the calcium into both liquid and solid states. Solid calcium helps create hard, compact tissues like teeth and bones. Liquid calcium resides inside your cells, nerves and all of your muscles – including your heart! Every time a muscle contracts it uses calcium. There is also calcium in your bloodstream.

The debate about calcium begins with the source: Is calcium from stone (carbonate), oyster shell or eggshell as good as calcium from fruits and vegetables? Is calcium from milk and beef equivalent to calcium from nuts and fish? There is no simple answer; however, certain forms of calcium are good for certain applications.

Calcium from bone meal and MCHC (found in abundance in VitaCal-Mag D) helps strengthen teeth and bones. Studies have shown that MCHC may improve and increase bone density as much as 6% in a single year! Let me repeat this: In clinical trials where bone density is measured, the greatest benefits to our teeth and bones came from MCHC. There’s another reason for the high quality of VitaCal-Mag D; it contains five different forms of chelated calcium for maximum absorption.

Reversing osteoporosis
MCHC is the specific collagen in your bones. You’ll find it in both VitaCal-Mag D and TriVita’s Bone Builder. It makes sense to supplement your bones with this special collagen. Even more remarkable is the fact that people who take enough MCHC build new, healthy bone cells even into their senior years.

Homocysteine (HCY) breaks up collagen and reducing HCY is critical to preventing osteoporosis. TriVita’s Bone Builder is the perfect partner to HCY Guard® because it includes nutrients that help reduce homocysteine.

Reducing the effect of stress is important in conserving your bones. When you are under stress your body’s response is to steal minerals from your bones to fuel the “fight or flight” response. TriVita’s Bone Builder contains the amino acid GABA, which helps reduce this effect of cortisol and allows minerals to go back into your bones when you sleep.

Speaking of sleep, your body produces a hormone called NAMOT (related to melatonin) when you are in a deep sleep. This hormone signals your bones to begin repairing themselves. Methoxytryptamine (5MT) is the protein that your pituitary gland uses to produce NAMOT, and we include this vital protein in TriVita’s Bone Builder.

Growing new bone
The best way to manage osteoporosis is to prevent it. Children and adults up to age 30 should take a calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D supplement every day. I also encourage people to focus their diet on leafy, green vegetables, get at least 20 minutes of direct sunshine on 40% of their body every day and perform weight-bearing exercises most days of the week.

Regardless of your age or bone density you can slow bone loss, delay the disease process of osteoporosis and start producing new, healthy bone cells. TriVita’s VitaCal-Mag D is ideal for people under 30 years old and those with the lowest risk factors. TriVita’s Bone Builder is designed for people over 30 who have risk factors for osteoporosis.

The good news is that you can add back up to 6% of new, healthy bone mass every year if you follow these steps – no matter how old you are or how thin your bones are. Turn back the clock on osteoporosis with proper lifestyle choice and intense nutrition.

TriVita Health — The Bone Toll In North America — $15.9 Billion

Here’s a glimpse of the impact of osteoporosis in North America alone:

• Affects 44 million Americans, 68% of them women.

• Affects some 1.4 million Canadians: one in four women and more than one in eight men over age 50.

• One of every two women and one in four men over 50 in the U.S. will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lives.

• Almost all of the 30,000 yearly hip fractures in Canada are caused by osteoporosis. By the year 2030, the number is expected to quadruple.

TriVita Health — Women’s Health Alert

Lock Out “The Bone Thief”
Protect your bones from osteoporosis

For women, sticks and stones aren’t the big threat to bones – it’s osteoporosis, the disease that has a horror movie nickname: “the bone thief.” Unlike most horror movies, though, this health story can have a happy ending.

First, a look at just what osteoporosis is, and who it strikes. This “silent disease” has no outward symptoms: it gradually steals mass and strength from bones, leaving them porous and weakened. Its main targets? The hip, spine and wrist. The damage leaves victims vulnerable to falls and fractures, and that can lead to even more scary situations – including death.

While “the bone thief” can attack people of any age and either gender, women and mature adults are most likely to be affected. Osteoporosis is not an inevitable part of aging, and it is a big deal. One of the latest in a long line of studies about osteoporosis indicates that in people over age 60, any bone fracture dramatically boosts the risk of dying.

The Australian study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at more than 4,000 people over a period of almost 20 years, and found these dramatic results:

• After even a minor bone break like a wrist fracture, the risk of death zoomed by 42% in women and 33% in men.

• After a hip fracture, women were twice as likely to die than before, and men, three times as likely to die.

• These jumps in death risk lingered for years: 5 years for all fractures, and up to 10 years after a hip fracture.

What brings on bone loss?
Time steals bone from us all. Around age 30, bone (which is living tissue made of collagen protein and calcium phosphate, a mineral) reaches a peak of density and strength. After that, bone starts being lost at a faster rate than it’s created; the process really speeds up after menopause, and continues into post-menopause due to decreased levels of the hormone estrogen.

People most at risk are small, thin-boned Caucasian and Asian women with a family history of osteoporosis, and their risk increases with age. The bone-breaking risk goes up in general for people who smoke, don’t exercise, drink alcohol, take certain medications and don’t get enough calcium and Vitamin D.

Stop, thief! Detection and prevention
Sadly, the first clue some people get about osteoporosis stealing their bones is a sudden fall that fractures a hip or makes a spinal vertebra collapse. At this stage, or before, during a wellness exam, a healthcare professional may order a bone mineral density (BMD) test. This painless test can detect the current stage of bone loss, or identify bone issues before they become a problem (“osteopenia” or low bone density can be a sign of osteoporosis to come).

There are medications for osteoporosis, and several other everyday ways that everyone can help protect their precious bones. Healthcare professionals recommend three main strategies to turn away the bone thief and help stay strong:

1. Crank up the calcium. This mineral is vital to bones; if you don’t get enough over your lifetime, you’re leaving yourself wide open to bone theft. Since many people consume less than half the recommended amount of calcium, it’s important to take up the slack: eat foods like low-fat dairy products, dark green, leafy vegetables and calcium-fortified foods. Taking quality calcium supplements is also suggested for many people. This is especially important as we age, because our bodies become less able to absorb calcium efficiently.

2. Dose up on “D.” Vitamin D is a key player in helping absorb calcium and maintaining bone health. We get it via sunlight and foods like egg yolks and liver. D supplements are smart for many, especially older people and anyone during winter months who tends to stay indoors.

3. Bone up on exercise. Any activity that has you working against gravity is working for your bone health; it’s called weight-bearing exercise. You don’t have to lift weights or run marathons: just walk, hike, jog, climb stairs, play tennis or dance.

Bonus: Since exercise helps improve your muscle tone and strength, coordination and balance, it boosts your overall health. And, with stronger muscles and better balance, you’ll help avoid the falls that can lead to fractures.

Stay safe to help stay healthy
Since falling down can fracture bones, avoiding falls is especially important for anyone with weak or brittle bones. This is why exercise is so helpful to stay balanced and coordinated. In addition, these tips can help you stay upright and safe:

• If needed, use a cane or walker for added stability.

• Wear traction-soled shoes.

• When sidewalks are slippery, walk on grass.

• Tread carefully on polished floors that can be dangerously slick when wet.

• Indoors, avoid walking in socks or slick-soled slippers.

• Don’t use scatter rugs. All carpets and area rugs should either have skid-proof backing or be secured to the floor.

• If possible, have handrails on both sides of stairways.
