Complete Complete Complete Complete Complete Essentials Essentials Essentials Essentials Essentials for for for for for Women I, Women II, Teens, or Men Children (chewable) 2. Calcium Plus: 3. Defense Builder Antioxidant: 4. Optimal Digest: Extra Calcium can be considered for women, whose Calcium levels are low, have been diagnosed with osteopaenia or osteoporosis, or whose doctor has recommended they take extra Calcium. This formula is well balanced with Calcium and additional bone synergists and is highly absorbable. Given life’s additional stresses, emotional, and environmental, and aging factors, most people need extra antioxidants. This is a good formula for everyone, but children should take less. Digestive Enzymes are beneficial for people who have digestive difficulties such as excessive burping and belching, food sitting heavy in the stomach, heartburn, “sour” stomach, excessive gas, cramps after eating, and chronic constipation or diarrhea. People with allergies and asthma will also benefit because undigested food particles entering the system can provoke and increase the number of “allergic” reactions. Nutrition for the Skin: NutriMinC RE9 REsist Essential Fatty Acid Supplement Nourish your health and infuse your skin inside and out with this dynamic anti-aging essential fatty acid supplement featuring flaxseed oil, CoQ10 and other beneficial RE9 ingredients such as Vitamins A, C & E, and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). This product is one of the first to use groundbreaking technology called Licaps©. Licaps© are soft gel capsules that are free of animalbased gelatin. These two-piece vegetarian capsules are specially designed to be sealed for secure containment of liquids such as flaxseed oil. 2 Check with your physician before using herbal supplements Weight Loss Support: Figure 8 Supplements: These products support weight loss programs without the use of Ephedra or its derivatives, or Caffeine. The suggested dose for Figure 8 is one tablet 30 minutes before each meal, but you can take them up to 10-15 minutes before a meal. If you forget, take them during or after the meal rather than skipping them entirely, to benefit completely from the herbal blend. Figure 8 Orange Fiber Shake: Essential to colon health and weight loss programs, this product consists of both soluble and insoluble fiber necessary to the digestive tract for the removal of toxins, fat and excessive estrogen. Figure 8 Protein Shakes: Perfect for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike, this “yellow pea” protein offers 18 grams of balanced protein per serving. Add Figure 8 Fiber Powder, fruit and flaxseed oil to create a perfect health shake for meal replacement. (See shake recipes online at figure8.com). Herbal Colon Cleanse: This is an excellent product for constipation or irregular movements. We should have 2-3 bowel movements each day. Contains no laxatives and does not set up a dependency, but helps make bowel function healthier over time. Consider also using for one week a month to cleanse and detoxify the intestinal tract. Follow dosing instructions and if stools become too loose, cut back every day other day, or stop for few days and resume using every other day. Additional Herbal Support: Joint Formula: A very well formulated product that people with generalized joint pain or joint weakness may benefit from. The amount of Glucosamine Sulfate is the appropriate dose that studies indicate can enhance joint tissue growth (1500 mg/day). Ginger and other herbs have been shown to help with inflammation in and around joint tissue. Herbal Muscle Massage Gel: This gel contains ingredients that relieve muscle and joint discomfort. Avoid using on sensitive skin, burns and open wounds, or near the face and eyes. Wash hands well after using. 3 Heart Formula: Along with a low risk diet (avoid refined sugars and starches, margarine, vegetable shortening, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils and fats), this formula may be helpful for persons with high cholesterol levels, recovering heart patients or people at increased risk. Rest & Relaxation Formula: May be helpful for the high-stress, nervous person who has trouble falling asleep. Not as effective for persons who fall asleep OK, but wake up and can’t get back to sleep (often due to falling blood sugar levels – from high glycemic diets). Leg Vein Formula: Can help tone blood vessels and strengthen veins. May not eliminate existing varicose veins, but may reduce their swelling & irritation, and discourage new ones from forming. Menopause Formula: Herbal formula that helps balance hormone levels necessary to support the menopausal years. May help relieve vaginal drying (along with a vaginal Estriol Cream – by prescription only) and help to relieve hot flashes (along with natural Progesterone Cream). Premenstrual Formula: This product may help alleviate mild to average PMS symptoms in 60 to 90 days. If symptoms are severe, look to the diet, which may be low in healthy fat and/or magnesium-containing foods, e.g. olives and olive oil, sesame seed oil, flaxseed oil, seafood, celtic salt, green vegetables, almonds, pecans, seeds, herbal teas, legumes and whole grains. Increasing the amount of Evening Primrose Oil daily may also help as well as adding digestive enzymes to increase the uptake of nutrients from the diet. Foods especially bad for PMS are nutrient robbing foods such as refined sugars and starches, sodas, white flour products, and fast foods. Prostate Formula: This product along with a broad-spectrum multi vitamin and mineral formula containing Zinc can help properly nourish the prostate gland reducing the risk of inflammation and prostate illness. 4 Remedy Products: These brilliantly formulated herbal therapies strengthen your body’s natural defense system and provide soothing relief from the aches and discomfort of common conditions.
