Cenegenics Complete Guide to Healthy Aging - (Page 53) PRIME COMPONENTS IN SUPPLEMENTS • Antioxidants: Powerful age-management nutrients, shown to reduce free radicals, strengthen immunity as well as help prevent cancer and heart disease. Includes vitamins A, C, E, selenium, acetyl L-carnitine, coenzyme Q1O (Co-Q1O), quercetin and melatonin. • B-vitamins: Critical for skin, proper brain function, energy production, alleviating anxiety, adrenal hormone production, antibody formation, muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract, hair, liver, weight loss, red blood cell production and more. Many health problems are related to poor absorption or low intake of B-vitamins. The B-complex vitamins in our formulas include B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6, B-12, pantothenic acid and folic acid. • Calcium: Vital for bone density, healthy gums, lowering cholesterol, muscular growth, energy, neuromuscular activity, healthy skin. Must be in a bioavailable (absorbable) form. • Chromium: Helps stabilize blood sugar and aids insulin function; vital in synthesis of cholesterol, fats and protein. Some anecdotal reports suggest it has a modifying effect on cravings. • Digestive Aids: Restore ability to digest and absorb nutrients. Aging causes diminished stomach acidity and digestive enzymes, resulting in less absorption of vital nutrients. Our formulas use several digestive aids, such as pancreatic enzymes, lactase and letaine. • Liver Detoxifiers & Protectants: The liver is an essential clearing house, ridding the body of toxins, cleaning blood, aiding hormonal balance and supporting energy levels. Alpha-lipoic acid, glutathione and silymarin are used, regarded as highly effective in protecting the liver against toxins (including alcohol). • Magnesium: Required for over 300 body functions. A catalyst in enzyme activity, aids calcium/potassium uptake for healthy bones, prevents kidney stones, lowers blood pressure, promotes nerve-muscle transmission and energy levels as well as prevents calcification of soft tissue. An estimated 72% or more adult Americans fall short of U.S. dietary allowances for the mineral. Magnesium glycinate is used for its excellent absorption. • Prostate Protection: More than half of men 50 and over have significant prostate enlargement. Three natural herbs help prevent prostate enlargement, possibly decreasing prostate cancer potential: saw palmetto, Africanum Pygeum and nettle. • “Smart” Drugs*: Mental alertness and concentration tend to deteriorate with age. These Smart Drugs enhance memory, aid cognitive function and potentially prevent cerebrovascular disease. Ginkgo biloba, phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl choline and acetyl L-carnitine help relax smooth muscles in arteries, increasing circulation to the brain. *Most of them are not really drugs. • Zinc: Essential for prostate gland function and libido, protein synthesis, collagen formation, immune system health, liver protection, healing wounds, acne prevention and over 30 bodily functions. Zinc picolinate is the most effective form for absorption. Yet, additives, chemically altered fat (trans fats), preservatives, colorings and high sugar consumption dominate modern diets. Government research in 00 shows American sugar consumption averaged 0 pounds per person annually. That’s a far cry from our huntergatherer days. No wonder heart attacks, obesity, Type diabetes, strokes, cancer, hypertension and gastrointestinal disorders are escalating. Plus, studies suggest a middle-age bulge may do even more harm, upping the increase for Alzheimers or other types of dementia. v. M axiMizing Y our h ealth p otential WWW.CENEGENICS.COM 3 V.
