Must Have Supplements, Marlton Personal Trainer Gives It Up

Must Have Supplements:  See Full List Below

First off I hate supplements.  99% of all supplements are a complete waste of time and money.  Stop wasting your money at GNC, Walgreens, Health Food Stores, or the internet.  When purchasing supplements look for:

1)    How long has the company been in business

2)    Are there any double blind clinical research studies done on their specific product

3)    Are there any specific quality control tests done on their product to guarantee ingredients are pure, safe, and effective

4)    Poor deliverability. The supplement never makes it into your bloodstream, it winds up in your urine.

5)    Does the company follow GMP Guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practices)

There is only one supplement company that follows all of these guidelines that I personally recommend and use on a daily basis.  Shaklee has been in business for over 50 years.  They do 300 quality control tests on each of their products with over 80 scientists to guarantee product safety, deliverability, and purity.  Shaklee has done over 115 clinical research studies published in credible, peer reviewed scientific journals.  And no other company has the cajones to do a 25 year longitudinal study on their supplement users – the results are amazing!! 

Remember to read the labels and watch the serving size.  Your body can only process at most 20-30 grams of protein in one sitting depending on your body size so avoid products with excessive protein intake over 35 grams.  Several of these supplements below can also be great snacks if you split the serving size and eat half for your mid-morning snack and the remaining half for your late afternoon snack.

Food Bars: Shaklee Cinch Snack Bar, Shaklee Meal Replacement Bar, Kashi Crunchy Bar, Kashi Go Lean Bar,  Cliff Bars (keep sugars under 15 grams preferably), Cliff Builder Bars, Pure Protein Bars.

Meal Replacements Shakes: Shaklee Cinch Shakes (Chocolate, Vanilla, Espresso –my favorite), Shaklee Physique Post Workout Optimizer, Ready To Drink Shakes:  Myoplex Lite, EAS Advant Edge, Muscle Milk Lite.   Limit to no more than 3 ready to drink shakes per day, toxic levels of chromium.  Powders have less preservatives than ready to drink shakes.  

Protein Powders: Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein, NOW Whey Protein Isolate (100% Whey Protein isolate stay away from protein concentrate less pure), Natures Best IsoPure Low Carb Protein

Mult-Vitamins: Shaklee Vitalizer (Mac Daddy has everything but pretty expensive), Vita-Lea (very affordable and great absorption).

25 Year Landmark Study

Shaklee in collaboration with the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health showed that people who used Shaklee Supplements had markedly better health than both other multi-vitamin users and those who used no supplements.  {No competition has the research budget, been in business for 25 years, or has the balls to test their products long term}

Take Control of Your Health – Before It Takes Control of You…

From Kevin Hensel, Owner Fit-4-Life, Cherry Hill Personal Training Studio

There are simple preventative measures you can take now to help you stay healthy in the future. As part of my commitment toward helping you achieve a better, healthier tomorrow, I’ll help you every step of the way with useful tips and product suggestions.

Five Tips to Retaining a Normal Blood Sugar Level

1) Achieve a healthy weight
In a properly functioning body, insulin, a hormone made by your pancreas, helps transport glucose into the cells of the body so it can be use for energy. However, in overweight individuals, cells of the body can become resistant to insulin’s action. One of the best ways to retain normal blood sugar levels is to achieve a healthy weight. Try the Cinch® Inch Loss Plan, an effective and clinically tested program powered by leucine, an amino acid that helps preserve your muscle while you lose body fat.

2) Eat foods with a low glycemic index
When you’re constantly on the run, it’s easy to forget about giving your body the proper nutrition it needs. You may find yourself reaching for a bag of cookies, which most likely have a high glycemic index (GI), meaning the carbohydrates in those cookies are quickly broken down to glucose and released into the bloodstream. This quick release can then lead to a sharp rise in blood sugar, followed by a sharp drop in blood sugar leaving you with feelings of low energy. Help retain normal blood sugar levels by eating foods that have a low GI. Cinch® Shakes and Meal-in-a-Bars are a great alternative because they taste great, fill you up and give your body the sustained energy it needs.

3) Enhance your health
So, your at a healthy weight and your blood sugar is where you want it to be. What else? How about the health of your heart, brain, digestive system, and other body parts? Keep the healthy momentum going and remember to take your vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. Shaklee Vitalizer™ is the perfect supplement for daily nutritional support. It’s 80 bio-optimized, clinically proven nutrients that enhance immunity, protect your DNA, and help manage your stress. It contains more than 20 antioxidant compounds and essential vitamins and minerals you need for a comprehensive approach to health, wellness, and vitality.*

4) Additional botanical support
Certain minerals and botanicals have been scientifically shown to help retain normal blood sugar levels. These include banaba leaf extract, which helps stimulate glucose uptake, and chromium, a mineral essential to insulin function. Shaklee Glucose Regulation Complex® contains these plus other normal blood sugar supporting ingredients including magnesium, vanadium, zinc, taurine, and alpha lipoic acid.*

5) Stay active
Last, but not least, stay active. Try to get in 30 minutes of regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, bicycling or swimming most days of the week. If your busy schedule won’t allow that, break your activity into sessions–10 minutes in the morning, 10 in the afternoon, and a short 10 minute walk in the evening. Being more active will not only make you feel good, it will enhance your body’s ability to use insulin and help you maintain a healthy weight.

Lessen Your Cravings and Maintain Your Energy Levels

shaklee-glucose-regulation.gif

Glucose Regulation Complex offers a diverse set of nutrients that provide natural support for efficient glucose metabolism. Alpha lipoic acid, for example, helps make your cells more responsive to insulin so they get the energy they need. Vanadium works with chromium, magnesium, and zinc to help balance your blood sugar, preventing energy ups and downs.*

With Glucose Regulation Complex, you’ll regulate your blood glucose more efficiently. You’ll have more energy and fewer food cravings. By retaining normal blood sugar levels, you’ll even be contributing to overall health.*

Pass Me Another Cup

From: Kevin Hensel
In the midst of a mid-afternoon slump…

Dear Clients and Friends,

Feeling sluggish at work? Don’t reach for that sugary soda for a caffeine kick or even another coffee concoction…I’ve got a much better alternative to share with you this month.

First, why you most certainly shouldn’t reach for the sugary option. British researchers have concluded that people who downed a sugary drink containing 42 mg of sugar and 30 mg caffeine—the amount in a 12-ounce cola—showed slower reaction times and a greater number of lapses in attention for the next 70 minutes compared with those who sipped a sugar-free beverage. Although a sugar rush has been shown to boost cognitive performance, the effect is very short-lived, lasting only about 10-15 minutes.

According to CBS News, more than 50% of Americans drink coffee everyday. And they average about 3 cups! That’s A LOT of coffee. But what troubles me is that the trend is toward the REALLY rich coffee drinks (i.e. almost everything Starbucks and other coffee shops serve). The smallest café latte at Starbucks has…

200 Calories, 11 grams of fat—7 of them saturated—and
15 grams of sugar…before you add another thing to it!

And it’s not just the coffee shop coffee that can hit you with a bunch of empty calories and saturated fat…as soon as you start adding creamer or sugar to your drink, and then drink multiple cups, the fat and calories add up quickly. How about a lighter, healthier alternative for that energy boost?

MATCHA…the SUPERFOOD for Mucho Energy!

Matcha is a premiere green tea prepared to naturally retain all the nutrients found in tea leaves including fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. And matcha has consistently been rated by many leading nutritional sources as one of the superfoods (meaning it has tremendous nutritional value). Another superfood is pomegranate. And it just so happens that the cinch Energy Tea I now drink as a replacement to coffee has pomegranate in it too, as well as white tea extract (which has even higher levels of antioxidant compounds than matcha), and rooibos red tea extract, packing even more antioxidant compounds. And this tea is…

Liquid oomph!

You can drink it hot or cold (it comes in a granular form that dissolves right in your water – no tea bag to steep) for a quick energy boost that compares to coffee—without the precipitous ‘crash’ you get after the caffeine wears off. Besides being a great replacement for coffee if you need a pick-me-up midday or afternoon jolt, it’s also a great replacement because….

It tastes great…has only 5 calories per cup…and can be easily mixed into hot or cold water.

So next time you’re feeling a bit sluggish and need a pick-me-up, skip the soda machine and the coffee bar, and reach for matcha instead! And avoid the regular caffeine crash.

How Much Would You Pay For An Extra 25 Years?

WORLD’S BEST ANTI-AGING SUPPLEMENT*

One of the most exciting areas in longevity research has been the study of genetic regulators of aging. Recently, scientists identified in laboratory studies that resveratrol –a compound found in red wine—activates genetic regulators of cellular longevity pathways, which may have positive effects on DNA, cellular health, and metabolism.* Shaklee scientists took this very exciting research to the next level to create Vivix.

VIVIXTM PATENT-PENDING REJUVETROLTM BLEND

The Most Potent Resveratrol
Our scientists sourced the purest and most potent natural resveratrol. In fact, this extract’s resveratrol content is no less than 98%, and the amount of resveratrol found in Vivix is guided by the latest scientific studies and emerging research.

Super Polyphenols from the Super Grape
Our research also zeroed in on a remarkable super grape, known as Vitis rotundifolia. This is the only grape found in nature with an extra chromosome, which scientists believe greatly enhances it polyphenol profile and potential health benefits.* In collaboration with scientists from the University of Georgia, Shaklee scientists employed a bioassay-guided process, which resulted in a patent-pending super grape extract with ellagic acid, a polyphenol not found in ordinary grapes. Ellagic acid is thought to be responsible for many of the unique cellular anti-aging actions of the super grape in the Vivix formulation.*

shaklee-vivix-1.gif

VIVIXTM BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

FIGHTS CELLULAR AGING & MORE*
In Laboratory studies, Vivix ingredients:

*Help protect and repair cellular DNA
*Positively impact genetic regulators
*Promote mitochondrial biogenesis
*Slow AGE protein formation
*Supports heart health and cardiovascular function
*Supports brain health
*Supports immune function
*Supports joint health
*Promotes cellular longevity
*Supplies antioxidants; fights free radicals
*Increases cellular energy

THE SHAKLEE DIFFERENCE

3,000 Glasses of Red Wine
A 30-day supply of Vivix delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in 3,000 glasses of red wine. One daily serving delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol provided in 100 glasses of red wine.

10X More Powerful
In laboratory studies, Vivix ingredients have been shown to be 10 times more powerful than resveratrol alone at slowing the formation of AGE proteins.

Exclusive to Shaklee
The most complex product in Shaklee history, Vivix took years to develop—first to create and isolate a unique profile of polyphenols shown in laboratory studies to fight cellular aging, then to develop a patent-pending extraction process to harness the polyphenol profile of one of the key ingredients, and finally to secure the entire output from the largest and best growers in the world. These comprehensive product development steps make these cellular anti-aging benefits available exclusively to you.

All Natural, Patent Pending
Multiple patents have been filed to protect this innovation. No artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, or preservatives have been added.

“The Key To An Active Lifestyle At Any Age: Strong, Healthy Bones”

THE CHALLENGE:
Often referred to as the “silent disease”, osteoporosis is a debilitating disease in which bones become fragile and are more likely to break. Often there no warning signs, no symptoms until a bone fracture occurs. And while osteoporosis is often thought of as a disease that affects the elderly, it can strike at any age.

In fact, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, each year in the U.S. this disease leads to 1.5 million fractures and osteoporosis affects more than 28 million Americans, 10 million who know they have the disease and another 18 million with low bone mass, placing them at increased risk.

Although this disease can affect both men and women, it tends to be more common in women. This is because women generally have less bone mass than men, tend to live longer, tend to get less dietary calcium and need the hormone estrogen to keep their bones strong. But, men please be aware that 25% of all cases of osteoporosis are in men, although the risk factors are a bit different.

In addition to being female, there are other important risk factors to be aware of, like small, thin body stature; family history of osteoporosis; early menopause; low calcium intake; lack of weight bearing exercise; smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic usage of steroid hormones is another big risk factor, for both men and women. Osteoporosis in males tends to be associated with excessive alcohol usage and the resultant liver disease as well as other chronic intestinal disorders.

So if any of these risk factors apply to you, you’re at risk for osteoporosis and building and maintaining strong bones should be an integral part of your lifelong health. Taking steps to keep your bones strong and healthy will also ensure your independence as you age. Some of the most important steps you can take now are to get plenty of calcium and other bone health nutrients, exercise regularly, don’t smoke and limit alcohol consumption.

Americans consume more dairy products and calcium than any other population in the world, yet we still have one of the highest rates of osteoporosis. Calcium doesn’t work alone to build and maintain strong bones. Think of calcium as the bricks in the bone-building process. Bricklayers know that a house is only as strong as the mortar that holds it together. And the nutritional mortar for building and maintaining strong bones includes vitamins D and K, magnesium, boron, zinc, copper and manganese.

shaklee-osteomatrix.gif

THE DEFENSE:
OsteoMatrix is more than just calcium. It contains a nutritional matrix with a perfect blend of “brick-and-mortar”
nutrients to build a strong and healthy bone matrix:

- 400 mg (100% DV) of magnesium to help incorporate calcium into bone and help strengthen bones
- 400 IU (100% DV) of vitamin D to stimulate calcium absorption
- Boron in a clinically supported amount to aid bone metabolism*
- Vitamin K to help bind minerals to form bone matrix
- Manganese, copper, and zinc — co-factors that activate enzymes that help build bone mass

OsteoMatrix also helps retain normal blood pressure and reduce symptoms of PMS.*

WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM OSTEOMATRIX?
- Anyone concerned about building strong bones and maintaining long-term bone health
- Anyone whose diet may be low in key bone-building nutrients, particularly women age 30 and older, teenagers, and the elderly
- Those who smoke, have high intakes of alcohol, or frequently drink soft drinks —lifestyle habits that can limit or interfere with the utilization of calcium
- Women who experience PMS symptoms*
- Those concerned about retaining normal blood pressure*
- Anyone who finds calcium supplements too chalky, too big, or hard to swallow
