TriVita and Your Health

Eastern and western health knowledge have teamed up to create TriVita’s miraculous, health-enriching Adaptogen 10 Plus.

In this unique formula, 1940’s findings on Adaptogens come together with recent findings about the health benefits of antioxidants along with today’s improved nutrient delivery systems to create a ground breaking formula, Adaptogen 10 Plus that is part of TriVita’s many nutritional premium products backed by science.

In post-WWII Siberia, 1200 Russian scientist were busily cataloging the nutritional value of over 4000 plants. Their mission was to create a natural formula that would enable their elite athletes, cosmonauts and ballerinas become the best in the world. Dr. Nicholai Lazarov, the lead scientist, is credited with discovering a category of plant that would rock the very foundations of eastern herbal medicine. These plants had the unique ability to thrive in the very harshest environments. Think about the environment we are talking about - Siberia. These plants create a homeostasis, or an internal balance, that allow them to adapt to changing climates. Dr. Lazarov called these plants ‘Adaptogens’.

Early in the 1950’s adaptogen blends were given to factory workers in controlled studies. The results of these studies confirmed what Dr. Lazarov suspected: adaptogens created equilibrium, a balance within the human cell, which allows the cells to adjust to various forms of stress. Workers who took the adaptogen blends experienced tremendous and varied health benefits.

Eastern health is rooted in meticulous observation of natures and herbal medicine and adaptogens were proven by these studies to providing these benefits. One factory was experiencing an absentee problem among their truck drivers. After the drivers were given adaptogens for several months, their absentee rate dropped by a whopping 92.5%.

Russian athletes were also given adaptogens in the 1970’s and 1980’s, when they dominated the Olympic Games. Rumors spread that the Russian teams were using steroids, when in fact it was adaptogens that helped to improve the Russians athletic performance. The athletes were able to adjust to the stress of high level competition, allowing their bodies to perform at their best.

Years later, TriVita’s™ own Chief Science Officer, Dr. Brazos Minshew, discovered the varied and amazing results of adaptogen therapies. He wanted to apply current scientific knowledge with eastern knowledge with the discoveries recorded so long ago in Siberia, and to improve on Dr. Lazarov’s results.

Dr Minshew discovered that if the adaptogens were placed in an Aloe base, the health-enhancing properties of the adaptogens would reach the body faster and more completely. This added with the immune-strengthening OptiBerry™, a proprietary blend of antioxidants extracted from berries and other prime sources of antioxidants that resulted in Adaptogen 10 Plus, a super nutritional formula that helps restore Wellness by repairing our bodies at the cellular level!

Stress is just a part of our modern daily lives, whether it is mental, physical, emotional or environmental. It’s important to be aware of the damage that stress can cause to our bodies. Adaptogen can help us to relieve the damage of stress.

Stress creates a physical reaction within our bodies that often makes us feel bad or ‘out of sorts’, repeated stress will eventually lead to physical damage to our body’s system and can eventually lead to life threatening disorders.

Adaptogens help our bodies counteract the negative physical effects of stress by adjusting to our bodies’ unique reactions. If our muscles tense, adaptogens can relax them, if our blood pressure rises or our heart races, adaptogens help to normalize them. When we ingest adaptogens, they help our bodies reach a state of homeostasis or internal balance. In Adaptogen 10 Plus, the effects of the adqaptogens are enhanced with aloe vera’s outstanding nutritional delivery system and antioxidants free radical fighting properties.

The full effects of adaptogens are not yet known, preliminary reports indicate that whatever we’re trying to accomplish, adaptogens will help us perform better physically and mentally. By their very nature, adaptogens adjust our bodies to keep them in balance, all the time.

As we age we often begin to lose the fine motor control associated with youth. At first, this may be an imperceptible tremor that only occurs when we are trying to keep our hands very still. These “shakes” may eventually keep us from doing important things: delicate artwork, tying a fly, needlepoint or even simply signing our name.

Loss of fine motor control usually begins with inflammation in the brain. Inflammation usually begins with free radical activity: too many toxins, too much stress, not enough anti-inflammatory nutrients.

Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic disorder typically affecting people over age 55. The condition is caused by the death of nerve cells in certain parts of the brain, leading to characteristic problems with movement. These include a tremor in the hands, a shuffling gait, decreased facial expressiveness and trouble talking. Thinking ability may become impaired in later stages of the disease, and depression is common.

Many researchers believe that free radicals play a role in destroying nerve cells that supply dopamine (a neurotransmitter) in Parkinson’s disease. Most treatments for Parkinson’s disease work by artificially increasing the brain’s dopamine levels. Many people take levodopa with carbidopa, a drug that increases the amount of levodopa available to make dopamine.

Essential tremors
There is another kind of nervous disorder called essential tremors. Essential tremors are not caused by disease, such as Parkinson’s disease. Rather, they arise without any other signs or symptoms. Essential tremors do not progress into anything more severe; they are not related to any other condition. They exist as a fundamental defect in the part of the brain that controls motion.

Essential tremors are often called “family tremors” because they occur in higher concentrations among family members. People that are related to each other share many genetic characteristics. That means that they may also share some of the same vulnerabilities. These weaknesses only become apparent under specific stresses. So, two people with identical genetics – identical twins – may not have the same tendency toward essential tremors unless they experience the same stresses.

Tremor triggers
As mentioned, inflammation is the last thing that happens to your brain before you experience a tremor – whether it is from Parkinson’s disease or essential tremors. Anything that causes inflammation is a tremor trigger. What are the common triggers?

• Deficiency – Oxygen deficiency is very common, especially as we sleep. Practice deep breathing for 20 minutes before sleeping and take brain-specific antioxidants such as CoQ-10, Vitamin E and Optima4 at bedtime.
• Toxins – Household chemicals, refined sugar and allergens commonly trigger loss of fine motor control. Golfers and gardeners are often exposed to high levels of toxins. It seems that everyone has allergies – and sugar consumption is at an all-time high. Isolating yourself as much as possible from chemicals and allergens is crucial for brain health.
• Stress – When I ask an audience, “Do you feel stressed out?” almost everyone responds affirmatively! Stress burns out the coordination areas in your brain. Adaptogens put the fire out by helping us build a defense against stress.
• Trauma – Head injuries are common and becoming even more common. The delicate tissues of the brain are traumatized in auto accidents, injuries at work or around the home, or sports-related injuries. Trauma creates subtle inflammation that may smolder for years.

Conclusion
The cause of Parkinson’s and essential tremors is certainly different, yet the trigger is the same: Inflammation. The best hope for “cure” lies in prevention. Applying the 10 Essentials gives you protection from a rapid decline in health. And, the suggestions are easy to follow. Supplement your diet with nutrients and brain-specific antioxidants. Isolate yourself from toxins and put out the fire of chronic inflammation. Start today. The brain you save may be your own!
