Pancreas Health   product #44-4

Pancreas Health is an ayurvedic formula which helps maintain the health of a normal functioning pancreas.

More than 16 million people suffer with diabetes. You top off your tank with premium and slide behind the wheel and time for a little pleasure drive. Too bad you forgot the keys! It's the same way with diabetes. Your body, an amazing machine, uses a form of sugar called glucose to fire its engine. Your body makes glucose from foods, and then sends it into your bloodstream where it's available for use by every cell. However, without the right key - insulin - none of the cells can open up and take the energy. As a result, glucose levels build in the bloodstream, with dangerous consequences. Few people with diabetes need daily insulin injections.

People with Type II or non-insulin-dependent diabetes are at higher risk of vision and kidney problems, heart disease and nerve damage. More than 90% of the time, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, cutting back on fat and getting daily exercise can help keep your blood sugar levels in line. If you have diabetes, follow your doctor's advice.

Health's Missing Link

Enzymes are complex biochemical substances which regulate and govern the behavior and function of all living matter. Every biochemical action that takes place in nature is caused by a specific enzyme. Fruit ripening, seeds sprouting and trees growing are all examples of enzyme activity. Enzymes are delicate lifelike substances that can be found in all living cells. While enzymes are not easily seen, their presence and strength can be determined by activity testing. What Enzymes Do? Enzymes could be called nature's workers. In our body, metabolic enzymes build bones, repair tissue, eliminate carbon dioxide from the lungs and are responsible for the healthful functioning of all metabolism. Muscle movement, sight, hearing and breathing are all examples of metabolic enzyme activity. While many hundreds of enzymes have been isolated, it has been estimated that there may be anywhere from hundreds of thousand to hundreds of millions of different enzymes. Without enzymes, life would be impossible. Neither vitamins, minerals nor proteins can do any work without enzymes. Digestive Enzymes All foods as nature produces them, either from the ground, orchard, or field, even food from animal sources, contain naturally associated food enzymes. Foods in their natural raw state contain the very enzymes that we need to digest them. A food with primarily protein and fat will contain protease and lipase enzymes. A food that contains carbohydrate will have amylase enzymes. Foods containing a lot of calories contain higher concentrations of food enzymes than a food with lesser calories. Unfortunately, food enzymes are destroyed in all canned or pasteurized foods as well as in foods cooked, steamed, baked, roasted, broiled, fried, or boiled. The death point of enzymes is like that of all living things at 120 - 160o F.

Chromium Picolinate  product #69-0

We've known for years that trace minerals like Iron and Zinc are essential to good health. One of the most important minerals is Chromium. It helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact, Chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly twenty fold. Chromium is of great help for weight loss also. Insulin is dependent upon biologically active Chromium. There is also evidence to suggest that in some people Chromium may play a role in regulating appetite, reducing sugar cravings and promoting lean body mass.  U.S. Government studies show that nine out of ten Americans do not get enough Chromium in their diet and that chromium deficiency may be a widespread problem. Chromium levels decrease gradually with age, while strenuous exercise, pregnancy, diabetes and stress can all cause the body to use up its chromium stores even faster.

You may not be getting the Chromium you thought you were. Chromium Chloride, for example, does not activate insulin and less than 2% is absorbed by the body.
