TOTAL BODY® FORMULA - BALANCED NUTRITION is a powerful combination of Vitamins, Colloidal Minerals, Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids and Antioxidants scientifically designed in a great tasting liquid formula to meet today's nutritional requirements for maintaining energy and sustaining health.
MINERALS are life sustaining and necessary for 95% of the body's daily functions and must be obtained from outside sources. Along with VITAMINS, they work as coenzymes in the body enabling it to perform activities needed for regulating metabolism and assisting the biochemical processes that release energy from digested food. They also support the proper composition of body fluids, the formation of bone, blood cells and healthy nerve function. In the past, we were able to depend upon whole foods grown in healthy, nutrient-rich soil. Today, however, as the soil which produces our food becomes more and more nutrient depleted due to poor crop rotation and loss of valuable topsoil from flooding and over irrigation, it has become necessary to look to other sources to supply us with these vital elements. As well fed as Americans are, we are still nutritionally bankrupt! Many of the major health problems we face today can be classified as deficiency diseases. According to the U.S. Senate Document #264 and The 1992 Earth Summit Report, the percentage of mineral depletion over the past 100 years from the farm and range soils of North America is 85%.
The minerals in TOTAL BODY® FORMULA are nature's most amazing nutrients - COLLOIDAL MINERALS. Unlike metallic minerals mined from geological deposits which can be toxic, our colloidal minerals are taken from plants which have absorbed the elemental minerals from the earth. These plant-derived colloidal minerals are from natural organic mineral rich prehistoric plant-matter deposits from a mine in Utah. TOTAL BODY® FORMULA contains over 70 colloidal minerals, both major and trace. The fact that some minerals are classified as "trace" does not diminish their importance for good health. In their colloidal state they are needed by the body in microgram amounts. A microgram is only one millionth of a gram. Colloidal Minerals are microscopic-sized electrically-charged particles. When broken down to an ion state and suspended in liquid form, colloidal minerals are more easily assimilated through the walls of the intestines. An ion is the smallest component in which a mineral can exist and is the size the body requires before the individual cells can absorb it. While the body usually absorbs less than 10% of metallic source minerals, nearly 100% of plant source colloidal minerals are absorbed. Combined with liquid essential vitamins in TOTAL BODY® FORMULA, they provide the body with much greater nutritional support than tablets or capsules.
AMINO ACIDS are the building blocks that make up proteins. Without the proper combination of amino acids, protein could not exist. In its various forms, it is protein that participates in the vital chemical processes that sustain life. Next to water, protein makes up the greatest portion of our body weight; therefore, it is clear how critical amino acids are to maintaining health. The central nervous system cannot function without amino acids, which act as neurotransmitters or as precursors to the neurotransmitters, thereby, enabling the brain to receive and send messages. If there are inadequate amounts of essential amino acids in the diet, physical disorders can arise. Additionally, amino acids enable vitamins and minerals to perform their jobs properly.
The ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFA's) cannot be produced by the body and, therefore, must be supplied through the diet. EFA's aid transmission of nerve impulses, and are needed for normal brain function. They also aid in reducing blood pressure and lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Deficiencies of these fatty acids can lead to several debilitating conditions and diseases.
Antioxidants help protect the body from the formation of free radicals which are oxygen molecules that can cause damage to cells leading to aging of the body, immune system impairment and degenerative diseases. One of the world's most powerful antioxidants, WHOLE GRAPE EXTRACT, has been documented to be superior to all other antioxidants, being 50 times greater than vitamin E and 20 times greater than vitamin C.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential nutrient for the production of cellular energy. CoQ10, which is found in the human tissue, declines with age and should be supplemented. CoQ10 plays a crucial role in the strength of the immune system and the aging process.
Those who advocate eating natural foods as the only source of vitamins and nutrition, live in a dream world. According to former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, out of 2.1 million deaths each year in the U.S., 1.6 million are directly related to poor nutrition. Since a proper, well-balanced diet cannot totally supply our body's nutritional needs, the importance of good vitamin and mineral supplementation is obvious.
