Food-Based Women’s Multivitamin
Overview
Our Food-Based Women’s Multi is a multivitamin, mineral, and herbal formula that provides all the essential nutrients
necessary for optimal health. This formula utilizes a proprietary super-food blend to deliver nutrients to the body
which means nutrients are added to a base of whole foods and herbs. When combined with food, these nutrients are
as close to food as possible. Research indicates that consumption of food based multivitamins increases absorption
and utilization resulting in extra nutritional support. The whole foods in this formula contain anthocyanins (antioxidant
flavonoids), carotenes, chlorophyll, and flavonoids. This comprehensive formula also contains herbs designed to
provide additional support for women’s health.
The majority of Americans do not get the essential nutrients they need from diet alone, and our soil is depleted of
vital vitamins and minerals. In addition, today’s stressful lifestyle can deplete the body of the vitamins, minerals and
nutrients it needs to stay in optimal health. Food based nutrition is a viable option that provides not only vitamins and
minerals, but also countless phytonutrients and invaluable herbal support.
Our Food-Based Women’s Multi is available in 60 and 120 count tablets.
Recommended Dosage
9 Take 2 tablets daily with a meal.
Cautions
• If you are pregnant or lactating, consult a health care practitioner prior to taking this product.

Probiotic Complex
Overview
Double Strength Probiotic Complex with Acidophilus contains a unique combination of several key microorganisms
designed to support and maintain the gastrointestinal tract’s microflora. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms
that may beneficially affect the host upon ingestion by improving the balance of the intestinal microflora. The dietary
use of live microorganisms has a long history dating back thousands of years. The father of modern immunology,
Élie Metchnikoff, spoke highly about the possible health benefits of the lactic acid-bacteria (LAB) Lactobacillus
bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in his writings at the turn of the 20th century, stating that consumption of
live bacteria, such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, was beneficial for gastrointestinal
health, as well as for health in general, and for longevity. Recent research suggests that certain live microorganisms
may promote healthy immune function and have anticarcinogenic effects, as well as other health benefits.
The gastrointestinal tract represents a complex ecosystem in which a delicate balance exists between the intestinal
microflora and the host. The intestinal microflora are important for maturation of the immune system, the
development of healthy intestinal function and in order to maintain a balanced inflammatory response. The microflora
reinforce the barrier function of the intestines, helping in the prevention of the attachment of microorganisms capable
of causing disease and the entry of allergens. Some members of the microflora may contribute to the body’s
requirements for certain vitamins, including Biotin, pantothenic acid and Vitamin B12.
Our Double Strength Probiotic Complex with Acidophilus utilizes freeze dried cultures and is shelf stable;
refrigeration is recommended after opening.
Research Indicates
» Promotes healthy immune function
» Supports a balanced inflammatory response
» Promotes healthy intestinal function particularly against
lactose intolerance and rotavirus-induced diarrhea in infants
and children
Recommended Dosage
9 Take 1 tablet, two times daily.
Cautions
• Alteration of the microbial flora of the intestine associated with antibiotic use, disease, and aging can negatively
affect its beneficial role; therefore consult a health care practitioner before use.

Nuzyme Digestive Enzyme Complex
Overview
Nuzyme is a vegetarian sourced digestive enzyme complex. Products classified as digestive enzymes help facilitate
digestion, absorption of nutrients, maintain the proper pH in the gastrointestinal tract, and act as a barrier against
invasion of viruses and bacteria. There are seven basic types of digestive enzymes, each with various subclassifications and differing functions. The basic enzymes and their specific functions are as follows: amylase digests
starches; cellulase digests fibers; lactase digests dairy products; lipases digest fats, oils and triglycerides; maltase
digests starch and grains; protease digests proteins; and sucrase digests sugars. Although Nuzyme features
vegetarian sourced enzymes, it is important to note that some other enzymes are extracted from animal sources
such as the pancreas, liver and stomach of cows or pigs. Examples of animal enzymes include oxbile, trypsin,
chymotrypsin, rennin, pepsin, and pancreatin. Nuzyme does include other plant-based enzymes such as bromelain
from pineapple and papain from papaya. Poor digestive function has been linked to many symptoms and a wide
variety of clinical digestive conditions. It is also important to note that there have been few clinical studies regarding
the use of digestive enzyme products in the treatment of specific digestive conditions. The use of digestive enzymes
to treat symptoms and health conditions associated with digestive problems come mostly from health care
practitioner observations, anecdotal reports and manufacturer’s product claims. Even though there is a lack of
scientific research to verify the effectiveness of digestive enzymes, these products have become widely accepted
and used worldwide for assisting healthy digestion.
Research Indicates
» May support healthy digestion
» May help reduce symptoms associated with lactose
intolerance
» Studies have indicated a significant reduction of gas
and bloating associated with the ingestion of high
calorie, high fat meals when taking certain enzymes
Recommended Dosage
9 Take 2 capsules up to three times daily with meals.
Cautions
• If you are pregnant or lactating, consult a health care practitioner prior to taking this product.
• Note: Everyone responds differently to digestive enzyme products, 2 capsules with each meal is a general
guideline. Consult your nutritional consultant to determine the appropriate dosage.

Mega Potency Fish Oil
Rich in Omega-3 EFAs
†
Overview
Two essential fatty acids (more commonly known as EFAs) essential to human health are omega-3 and omega-6. By
far, the best type of omega-3 fat is found in fish. The omega-3 in fish is high in two fatty acids crucial to human
health, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). These two fatty acids are pivotal in
preventing many diseases. The human brain also relies heavily on DHA; low DHA levels have been linked to
depression, schizophrenia, memory loss, and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers are now
also linking inadequate intake of these omega-3 fats in pregnant women to premature birth and low birth weight, and
to hyperactivity in children. Routine consumption of Mega Potency Fish Oil is highly encouraged and recognized as a
key ingredient in improving health.
Our Mega Potency Fish Oil is derived primarily from sardine, mackerel and anchovy, caught in the deep ocean
waters off the coast of Peru. Mega Potency Fish Oil delivers 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA in each softgel.
Purity
• The specification for the mercury in fish oil is a maximum of 0.005 parts per million or 0.005 mg/kg. There is one
gram (which is the equivalent of 1000mg) of fish oil in each softgel; therefore the amount of mercury per softgel is
guaranteed to be less than 0.000005 mg. The ppm will always be 0.05 ppm of the fill material.
• The molecular distillation processing of our Mega Potency Fish Oil removes any and all dioxins that may be in the
oil (tested at less than 1 part per trillion). Dioxin content is measured in a complicated TEQ system and our Mega
Potency Fish Oil is guaranteed to meet all USA standards and the stringent European Union (EU) standards. These
EU standards are the toughest in the world.
Research Indicates
» Instrumental in regulating inflammation, blood pressure and
thickness, hormone production, and the activities of the
immune and central nervous systems
» Important for infants (and a developing fetus) for proper
development of the brain and retina of the eyes
» Studies suggest that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) may be linked to omega-3 deficiency
» Deficiencies of omega-3 may also be linked to depression
» May be helpful for symptoms of Crohn’s disease
» Researchers think omega-3 can help prevent breast,
prostate and colon cancers
» Supports cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure,
relaxing blood vessels, and lowering cholesterol levels
» Has been shown to decrease elevated serum triglycerides
» May also reduce pain for sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis
» Deficiencies have also been found in people who have
allergies, asthma, and skin disorders like eczema and
psoriasis
Recommended Dosage
Typical daily dosage is 500 – 3000 mgs; take 1 softgel up to three
times daily with a meal.
Cautions
• If you are pregnant or lactating, consult your health care practitioner prior
to using this product.
• Omega-3 fatty acids are extremely susceptible to damage from free
radicals. It is recommended that antioxidants such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C,
and Selenium be taken in conjunction with omega-3 fatty acids.
• Because omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to inhibit blood clotting,
consult a health care practitioner prior to using Mega Potency Fish Oil if you
have a blood disorder or are taking anti-coagulant medications.
• Mega Potency Fish Oil should not be used two days before or after any
type of surgery.

Psyllium Husks 500mg
Overview
Psyllium Husks come from the small reddish brown to black seeds of the Plantago Psyllium plant. Odorless and
tasteless, Psyllium is a member of the family Plantaginaceae, and is not related to wheat. There are several species
of the plant, but the seed husks from Plantago ovata, also known as blonde Psyllium, have the best quality and
highest fiber content. Plantago grows as a weed in several places around the world and is cultivated for commercial
use in Spain, France, India, Pakistan and other countries. Psyllium Husks are pure dietary fiber, composed mostly of
hemicellulose. They are not digested in the small intestine, but are partially broken down in the colon, where they act
as a food source for friendly flora. Mostly, Psyllium Husks act as a sponge in the intestinal tract, swelling as it
absorbs water and waste material in the bowels. This forms a soft, bulky mass that passes through the colon more
quickly (keeping potentially toxic waste moving in the colon) and evacuates more smoothly and easily. According to
the Food and Drug Administration, Psyllium Husks may also help lower the risk of heart disease.
Our Psyllium Husks 500mg offers 1.7 grams of fiber per serving and is available in 180 count vegetarian capsules.
Research Indicates
» Fiber is important for normal bowel function
» May support healthy blood pressure by enhancing the
excretion of sodium
» A study has shown benefits for Psyllium Husks in
improving diarrhea caused by certain medications
» Studies suggest that Psyllium Husks may support
healthy cholesterol balance
» The Food and Drug Administration has approved
Psyllium Husks to reduce cardiovascular disease risk
with recent studies confirming risk reduction
» Studies suggest that Psyllium Husks may support
healthy blood sugar balance
Recommended Dosage
9 Typical daily dosage ranges from 1 – 4 grams; take 1 to 4 capsules daily with at least 8 ounces of fluid.
Note: Psyllium Husks should be taken with one to two additional glasses of water as it can expand in the throat and
cause an uncomfortable sensation.
Cautions
• If you have chronic constipation, bowel obstruction, an ulcer, diabetes, are obese, or are pregnant or lactating,
consult a health care practitioner prior to using this product.
• Some individuals experience an allergic reaction when taking Psyllium Husks. Some people may also have
respiratory reactions to Psyllium dust. Contact your health care practitioner or seek medical attention if you have fast
or irregular breathing, skin rash, hives, or itching.
• Psyllium Husks may cause gastrointestinal pain, flatulence and abdominal pain. Consult a health care practitioner if
these side effects become severe or do not go away.

100% Organic Psyllium
Supports a Healthy Heart
Promotes Colon Health
Overview
Organic Psyllium is derived from small, reddish brown and black seeds of the plantago psyllium plant. Odorless and
tasteless, there are several species of the plant but seed husks from Plantago ovata (also known as blonde psyllium)
are of the best quality and contain the highest fiber content. Psyllium is rich in soluble fiber and similar to the type of
fiber found in oats, wheat, and barley; however, psyllium is gluten-free unlike wheat. As a pure dietary fiber, psyllium
is composed mostly of hemicellulose. It is not digested in the small intestine and passes through the body until it is
partially broken down in the colon where psyllium is utilized as a food source for friendly flora. Mostly, psyllium acts
as a sponge in the intestinal tract, swelling as it absorbs water and waste material in the bowels. This forms a soft,
bulky mass that passes through the colon more quickly (keeping potentially toxic waste moving in the colon) and
evacuates more smoothly and easily. The Food and Drug Administration has approved the following label claim for
psyllium; “Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day may reduce the risk
of heart disease.” One serving of 100% Organic Psyllium provides 8 grams of this soluble fiber.
100% Organic Psyllium has been certified organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI). QAI is the most
recognized organic certifying body utilized by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Moreover,
Organic Psyllium’s ingredients have been cultivated without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers, and contain
no additives or artificial sweeteners. This formula has been reviewed and met QAI’s stringent qualification process for
purity and potency.

Multi-Mineral
Overview
Our comprehensive formula contains an array of minerals for optimal health. Minerals are inorganic elements
composed of only one atom and contain no carbon. Approximately 5% of every cell is made up of minerals; these
minerals support the function and structure of the cells. Minerals, just like vitamins, are coenzymes and essential to
the activation of enzymes. Nutritionists classify minerals that are essential to life as either major minerals or trace
elements. Major minerals are needed in larger amounts (hundreds of milligrams per day) and trace elements are
required in much smaller amounts (typically micrograms). As minerals are required for nearly every bodily function, it
is of the utmost importance to get the proper amount of minerals for two reasons: to prevent disease and to maintain
normal body function. Many nutritionists and researchers believe that the farm soils in the United States, as well as
many other regions of the world are considerably depleted of minerals compared to what they had merely 100 years
ago. Therefore, supplementation of minerals is a logical option for people seeking optimal health.
Our full spectrum Multi-Mineral formula is available in 90 count tablets.
Below is the list of ingredients in our Multi-Mineral. The information listed here is abbreviated; for more detailed
information, please refer to individual product sheets where available.
Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol), is a fat-soluble vitamin often referred to as the “sunshine” vitamin because it is formed in
the body by the action of the sun’s ultraviolet rays on the skin. The major biologic function of Vitamin D is to maintain
normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and
maintain strong bones. It promotes bone mineralization along with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and
hormones. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen.
Calcium
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body; the human body contains approximately 2.5 pounds of this
minerals and 99% of this is stored in the bones and teeth. The remainder is in the bloodstream and the fluids
surrounding the cells. It is essential to optimal health and has numerous health benefits. Calcium helps with many
metabolic processes, and is essential to a wide range of biological functions. Calcium absorption declines with age. If
the body does not get enough calcium, it will rob it from the bones, causing the bones to become porous and fragile.
Iron
Iron is an essential mineral and an important component of proteins involved in oxygen transport and metabolism.
Almost two-thirds of the Iron in your body is found in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to
your body’s tissues. Smaller amounts of Iron are found in myoglobin, a protein that helps supply oxygen to muscle;
also found in enzymes, Iron assists biochemical reactions in cells. About 15% of the body’s Iron is stored for future
needs and mobilized when dietary intake is inadequate. The remainder is in tissues as part of proteins that help the
body function.
Iodine
Iodine is a trace mineral that is essential for healthy thyroid function. Iodine also provides the crucial building blocks
for the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. The availability of iodized salt, the most common source of Iodine,
has made Iodine deficiency and its accompanying disorder, goiter, very rare in the United States as well as the
developed world. Iodine’s only known function is the role it plays in proper thyroid function. Healthy thyroid function is
important for normal metabolism, oxygen consumption and energy production.
Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for hundreds of chemical reactions in the body. It functions as a coenzyme (participating in
over 300 enzymatic reactions!) for proper function of nerves and muscles, formation of bones, and energy
metabolism. Recent studies suggest that is of particular importance for healthy heart function. It also may help to
lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Magnesium works synergistically with calcium
by increasing its absorption and may increase bone density as well. In fact, the body stores 60% of its magnesium in
the bones, 26% in muscle tissues and the remaining magnesium is stored in the soft tissues of the body.
Zinc
Zinc is considered an essential trace mineral which participates in more than 300 enzymatic functions in the body.
Contributing in all major biochemical pathways and physiological processes, Zinc’s roles include maintenance of
genetic material as well as cell division. Zinc is primarily stored in muscle, bones, and skin, with high concentrations
in the retina of the eye, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and prostate gland in men. Every cell in the body needs zinc;
hundreds of body processes rely upon it. Zinc is needed for normal growth and development. Zinc also has
antioxidant properties, and is important to proper maintenance of Vitamin E levels in the blood. It also improves the
activity of Vitamin A. Moreover, it is a constituent of the powerful antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD). The body
does not manufacture zinc so it is necessary to obtain through diet or supplementation.
Selenium
Selenium is an essential trace mineral and potent antioxidant. It works synergistically with Vitamin E to protect cells
from free radicals. Selenium is an important part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which works with
Vitamin E to help prevent free radical damage to cell membranes. Selenium also protects the body form heavy metal
toxicity. It is important to note that Selenium is toxic at doses of more than one milligram (1000mcgs) per day.
Copper
Copper is the third most abundant trace mineral in the body. It is an essential component of many enzymes and at
least 15 proteins. It is involved in the production of collagen and elastin, and as such is essential to the structural
integrity and elasticity of tissues, bones and organs. Copper is also necessary for the maintenance of healthy nerves
and joints. It is necessary for the production of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout the body. Copper
also aids in the production of energy by helping the body make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Finally, it is essential
to the production of two important enzymes: superoxide dismutase, a powerful antioxidant, and dopamine betahydroxylase which are enzymes that help regulate the metabolism of Vitamin C and the synthesis of the
neurotransmitter norepinephrine.
Manganese
Manganese, along with copper and zinc, is an important component of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase
(SOD). It is also involved in the production of several enzyme systems that influence biological processes. These
biological processes help produce collagen, metabolize protein and carbohydrates, and synthesize fat, including
cholesterol. Therefore, manganese is essential for growth and maintenance of tissues (particularly skin tissues),
cartilage and bones. Manganese is a factor in glucose intolerance and supports the production of certain hormones
and neurotransmitters.
Chromium
Chromium was first discovered as an essential trace element in 1955. In 1959, the mineral was identified as an
active component in human nutrition. We now know that Chromium is an essential partner to efficient insulin action.
The body of an average healthy individual contains only several milligrams. However, this small amount plays
important roles in the enhancement of insulin’s effectiveness, regulation of blood sugar levels, and the activation of
various enzymes for energy production. It is thought that most North Americans have some degree of Chromium
depletion in their bodies, and the North American diet and eating habits frequently fail to supply sufficient Chromium
for daily needs.
Molybdenum
Molybdenum is a trace element and one of the rarest substances on earth. Small amounts of Molybdenum are found
in nearly all the tissues of the human body. The primary function of Molybdenum is that of liver detoxification.
Molybdenum is important because it helps to activate certain enzymes, particularly those that metabolize proteins
and help to utilize Iron. As such, it may play a part in the prevention of anemia. Adequate levels of Molybdenum are
necessary for the proper formation of bones and teeth. Molybdenum is also important for Copper and Sulfur
metabolism and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates.
Potassium
Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the body (calcium and phosphorus are the most abundant).
Potassium is one of the major electrolytes in the body, along with sodium and chloride. Electrolytes are electrically
charged minerals that are critical to proper fluid balance in the body. They are necessary to the regulation of blood
pressure and muscle contraction; they also ensure proper function of nerves and kidneys. In fact, these three
electrolytes together are important to every chemical process in the body.
L-Glutamic Acid
Glutamic Acid is a non-essential amino acid, which means that it can be manufactured by the body. It is considered
to be nature’s “brain food”, because it is thought to support healthy brain function. Glutamic acid is an important
excitatory neurotransmitter, and may be important to the metabolism of sugars and fats. It also helps with the
transportation of potassium across the blood-brain barrier.
Boron
Boron is a trace mineral that has only recently been recognized as being important for human nutrition. Recent
research suggests that Boron is important for metabolism and bone health; it may help prevent bone loss and
support healthy joint function. The highest concentration of boron is found in the bones and tooth enamel. Boron
appears to affect the metabolism of calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, and vitamin D. Researchers believe
that Boron is essential for the conversion of vitamin D to its active form, which would enhance calcium absorption.
Vanadium
Vanadium is a trace mineral that was discovered to be essential to human nutrition in the 1970’s. Recently, it has
gained attention because it may support blood sugar balance. Research indicates that it may possess insulin-like
properties. Vanadium may also play a role in building bones and teeth, and it may support healthy cholesterol levels.
