Phytonutrients’ Powerful Antioxidant Interaction With The Human Body

August 18, 2018 by Derrick

Plants produce nutrients as a defense mechanism to protect themselves from the expressed dangers and hazards in their ecological surroundings. These nutrients that plants produce are known as phytonutrients. People, when eating plants or plant based products, consume these nutrients as phytonutrients and they are thought to provide for people benefits similar to those they provide to the plants producing them.

In 1934 Carl F. Rehnborg started his supplement company. The company was renamed Nutrilite™ in 1939. Carl started his company based on the knowledge he acquired from the observations and experiments he carried out while studying the Chinese and their diet during his travels in China. He discovered the principle of phytonutrients which, at the time, he called “associated food factors”.

What ingredients does Nutrilite™ use in their supplements?

Nutrilite™ supplements are made by combining the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients from over 170 plants. The phytonutrient component of ingredients have been included in Nutrilite’s™ supplements since the company’s beginning.

Phytonutrients are strongly related to the colors of plants. The next time you head to the grocery store or the local fruit and vegetable stand, take particular notice of the many colors on display. The main colors you see (purple, orange/yellow, red, green, white) are linked to the phytonutrients contained within the respective plant (fruit or vegetable) and each color is tied to a specific range of health benefits. To get a broad spectrum of these protective benefits, simply be sure to eat a variety from across the color palette of both fruits and vegetables.

5 Colors Each Day, For Health

When it comes to getting a wide range of benefits from the nutrients plants can offer, Nutrilite™ likes to say, “Five colors a day is the optimal way”. Those who carefully choose their food to include the five colors are choosing a diet that has the potential to benefit their whole body; from the head to the arms, heart, organs, body systems, legs, feet and more.

There are five main health categories associated with the phytonutrients found in the five main colors of plants. These five main health categories are brain health, vision health, heart health, cellular health and bone & joint health. Below you can see these categories with a list of some of the foods you can include in your diet for their nutritional benefit to your health.

5 COLORS A DAY

BRAIN
VISION
HEART
CELLS
BONE-JOINT

PURPLE FRUITS & VEGETABLES – BRAIN HEALTH
The key phytonutrients related to brain health are found in purple fruits and vegetables. These phytonutrients are quercetin, resveratrol, ellagic acid, and many different types of anthocyanidins and procyanidins.

GREEN FRUITS & VEGETABLES – CELLULAR HEALTH

WHAT TO EAT
Kale, collard greens, spinach, green peppers, watercress, zucchini, broccoli, brussels sprouts, green beans, soybeans, and green tea

WHITE FRUITS & VEGETABLES – BONE & JOINT HEALTH
The key phytonutrients related to bone and joint health are found in white fruits and vegetables. These phytonutrients are EGCG, allicin, isothiocyanate, quercetin, and anthocyanidins.

WHAT TO EAT
Turnips, onions, mushrooms, horseradish, white kidney beans, parsnips, garlic, cauliflower, black-eyed peas, and pears

Eat your five colors daily and if you are taking any Nutrilite™ supplements that include phytonutrients, you can know you are assisting your diet with a supplement that includes these same nutrients.

The ULTIMATE, Supplement Ingredients

The rich ingredients in Nutrilite™ Double X™ that we want to dig into today are those from the 22 plant concentrates which are powerful in providing nutritional support for you, whether you are old, young, healthy or challenged with a health issue.

These plant concentrates contain phytonutrients which, we learned from Part 1 of this blog series, are chemicals in plants that naturally occur as a result of a plant’s biological activity in its defense against environmental stresses. So when we consume Nutrilite™ Double X™ we are ingesting these chemicals from plants and processing them in our bodies for the benefits they provide.

22 Plant Concentrates We Found Listed – Double X™

• Acerola Concentrate
• Kelp
• Rosemary extract
• Turmeric extract
• Fava d’Anta extract
• Grape extract
• Blueberry extract
• Elderberry extract
• Black extract
• Tomato extract
• Marigold extract
• Peppermint extract (leaf)
• Onion extract
• Quercetin extract (from plant concentrates)
• Sweet orange
• Grapefruit
• Lemon
• Mandarin orange
• Alfalfa (leaf & stem)
• Watercress (leaf & stem)
• Parsley (leaf & stem)
• Spinah (leaf & stem)

Within Nutrilite’s™ informational labeling we found the following statements directly related to some of the above listed plant concentrates contained in Double X™.

• Supports the body’s defense against free radicals
• Supports the body’s immune system
• Supports brain health
• Supports vascular health
• Supports eye health

Your body can potentially benefit from a supplement that supports the body in its defense against free radicals (a contributing factor in cancer diseases), that supports the body in its immune system’s warding off of virus and disease; and that supports the body in its systems vital to brain health (mental, nervous system), vascular health (heart, circulatory system) and eye health. Your body can potentially benefit from a supplement that supports the body in these ways whether you are:

– elderly and facing the period of life when normal body functions begin to operate less optimally
– young and embarking on life with a chance to start out on the right foot (life supporting diet)
– healthy, enjoying a vibrant life and desire to make choices that can continue you down this path
– ill or challenged with a health issue and desire to reinforce the body’s natural ability to ward off sickness and disease.

Nutrilite™ says Double X™ is an optimal blend of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that is rooted in nature and designed by science to help fill nutrient gaps; so for a strong body and a life of health, eat the best you know how and if you want to beef up the body’s nutrition from your diet, you can fill in nutrient gaps by grabbing your Double X™ whether old, young, healthy; or health challenged.

Tomorrow we will look at the array of vitamins provided in this multivitamin supplement.

The ULTIMATE, Healthy Supplement

Today we will get deep into how the healthy multivitamin, Nutrilite™ Double X™, provides nutritional support for the activity levels you participate in whether that be putting your body through the rigors of training for and playing in competitive sports; weight management for weight loss and for maintaining a healthy level of body fat; or living a life of healthy choices for basic, general health.

Good, Nutritional Support For Competing In Sports

This all around multivitamin can provide tremendous support for competitive athletes enduring training sessions, games or matches.

It helps support these body conditions needed for top athletic performance.

• Healthy connective tissue
• Healthy muscles
• Energy production and nerve function
• Healthy joints

Healthy connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons are important in maintaining stability during athletic maneuvers and movements. The vitamin C, calcium, zinc and citrus bioflavonoid dehydrate in this multi vitamin helps in support of connective tissues. Strong and healthy muscles are the foundation of optimal athletic abilities. The calcium, magnesium and manganese in this supplement can support the maintenance of healthy muscles. Normal energy production and nerve function are core processes involved in the ability of an athlete to maintain the will to keep performing at a taxing level while dealing successfully with the stresses that can be brought upon the nervous system. This multivitamin is packed with thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin, vitamin B6, biotin, pantothenic acid, magnesium and manganese that can support these processes. Healthy joints are a must in athletic competitions. Without it performance comes to a stand still. The zinc in Nutrilite™ Double X™ is a key mineral in supporting healthy joints.

Good, Nutritional Support For Weight Management

We like body fuel. We like it even better when our bodies properly burn that fuel. This metabolism supporting multivitamin fits the bill here.

It helps support these body conditions needed for weight management.

• Metabolism
• Cellular health
• Healthy thyroid function
• Glucose levels already within the normal range
• Hormone production

The chromium and molybdenum minerals in this multivitamin can help keep your metabolism pumping at high levels for good utilization of the sugars and carbohydrates the body stores and uses for energy. Cellular health, with the intricate processes being carried out within and in between cells, is vital to a humming metabolism and this supplement is loaded with the following ingredients to help support healthy cells; vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, selenium, molybdenum, lycopene, lutein esters, citrus bioflavonoid dehydrate, alfalfa concentrate, mixed tocopherols, blueberry powder, grape extract and rosemary extract.

The iodine in this multi vitamin is going to help support healthy thyroid function and if you’ve had the unfortunate experience of witnessing someone with a poorly functioning thyroid you know too well the potential for weight gain as communication slows in the body between the thyroid and other key glands in the endocrine system. The chromium in this supplement can help support the maintaining of healthy glucose levels if they are already within the normal range. Correct glucose levels are an important factor in body function for maintaining proper body weight. Normal hormone production helps the body maintain healthy weight as well as curb weight gain and the vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid in Double X™ can help the body continue producing hormones in the appropriate levels.

Good, Nutritional Support For General Health

Everyone desires to enjoy overall, good general health. If we can say our loved ones are in good health it not only sounds good, it is a great contributor to our own peace of mind. Nutrilite™ Double X™ multivitamin can help your family keep that peace of mind as it delivers the benefits needed for maintaining good health.

Caffeine-Free or Not? What Gives?

August 12, 2018 by Derrick

Blast Energy Drinks
XS® Blast Energy Drinks come in 12 choices, offering 11 amazing flavors. These drinks truly are a blast of flavor and a bigger blast of energy. With their composition of juice, herbs, amino acid, vitamins and minerals, they are a great tasting blast of energizing ingredients.

Among those body invigorating ingredients, where does caffeine fall? Here is where you need to be careful and diligent in a consistent practice of reading product labels. Unfortunately, at the time of the publishing of this blog post, some of Amway’s online product descriptions for their 12 Blast drinks include statements leading shoppers to believe they are caffeine-free? Is this true? Usually, but not always.

Before going any further, let’s cut to the chase and tell you the one flavor that is non-caffeineated. The XS® Energy Drink in the Cranberry Grape Blast flavor is the one that is made without caffeine. Now we’ll turn our attention on how to avoid the confusion.

Be aware when you come across the online Blast drink product description stating the following caffeine-free claim…

“XS® Caffeine-free Energy Drinks use a proprietary blend of premium ingredients infused with powerful B vitamins to help your body unlock energy from food.”

While this caffeine-free claim is true for the one Blast drink that does not contain caffeine, this claim is included in the product description of some of the Blast drinks that do contain caffeine.

It appears as though this was not intentional, but rather a mistake, a simple “typo”. Large websites that contain a vast amount of information are prone to human error. We get it and that makes sense.

It is in an individual drink’s “Overview” description where it makes this “Caffeine-free” statement while in the same drink’s “More” description you can find a list of that drink’s ingredients that clearly lists Caffeine as an included ingredient. Additionally, in the drink’s “More” description you can find a “More Info” section that clearly states that some are caffeine-free while others are not?

It is unfortunate that Amway sometimes includes the blanket statement of caffeine-free status in its “Overview” description when the drink does contain caffeine because it is misleading and it is the description that is, by default of the website layout, the first description that shoppers see. To find the other statements it is incumbent upon the shopper’s thoroughness in “clicking around” to happen upon the further, product description options that tell the accurate (but confusing) story.

I’m sure, with time, Amway will get this cleaned up.

So Let’s Clear This Up Here
Which are caffeine-free and which are not? Here are the current, 12 XS® Energy Drink flavors in a listing, designating those that are caffeinated and the one that is not.

• XS® Energy Drink Summit Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Naranja Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Classic Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Cranberry-Grape Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Black Cherry Cola Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Cherry Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Citrus Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Tropical Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Electric Lemon Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Rootbeer Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Wild Berry Blast – Caffeine Included
• XS® Energy Drink Caffeine-Free Cranberry-Grape Blast – NO Caffeine

Here’s The Scoop On The Caffeine
For the XS® Energy Drink that does include caffeine, the amount included is equivalent to that which you would typically find in either a small cup of coffee or a standard sized cup of coffee. The amount of caffeine in the 8.4 ounce drinks are similar in caffeine content to a small cup of coffee while the 12 ounce drinks are similar to a standard cup of coffee.

The product descriptions state,

“All 8.4-ounce XS® Energy Drinks, except the caffeine-free flavors, have up to 83mg of caffeine. This is equivalent to a small cup of coffee. The 12-ounce XS® Energy Drinks contain up to 125 mg of caffeine and are comparable to a 12 oz. cup of coffee. ”

When shopping, online or in a brick and mortar, if you make it a habit of reading product labels when what you are consuming matters, you can keep from purchasing something that isn’t what you thought it was.

For the most part, we’ve found Amway is very accurate in their product information. However, this one is confusing so we felt it important enough to attempt to clarify the caffeine status.
