VITAMINS: Of all
the vitamins the body needs to stay healthy, the Bs are crucial. The family of B
vitamins is responsible for lowering stress levels, keeping the nervous system
functioning properly and providing an energy boost. So Protect yourself from
being malnourished. Researchers have known for years that Folic Acid is
essential to prevent neural tube defects in newborns. Now recent studies show
that it may reduce homocysteine levels in the blood as well, which reduces the
chance of heart disease. One of the best known of
the B family of vitamins, studies show B-6 can improve skin texture and helps
minimize the physical effects of stress. B-6 may also play a significant role in
women's health by helping to regulate the production and use of estrogen. It is
also a safe and effective diuretic. Vitamin C is a vitamin the human body
does not manufacture or store, so we must take our Vitamin C daily. Can you
imagine drinking 16 glasses of orange juice a day! The easiest way is to pop one
JENASOL ESTHER-C 500 mg. in the morning and forget it. Research is now
indicating that Vitamin C may protect you against cancer, heart disease and
decrease the severity of the common cold. Studies have also shown that men who
consume little or no Vitamin C may produce sperm with damaged DNA. So, with the
tremendous medical cost today it's more economical to take JENASOL ESTHER-C for
all day long protection.
Vitamin-D helps the body to absorb calcium easier to fight
osteosporosis, cripple bones. D-alpha tocopherol, Natural Vitamin-E is a super
antioxidant and it helps prevent blood clots. In its natural form it's absorbed
quicker so it can do its job faster. New studies indicate Vitamin E is also
essential for a healthy heart and the prevention of cancer.
Tocotrienols are able to provide many health
benefits. They have proven to provide exceptional protection against
cardiovascular disease, by lowering cholesterol, reversing the plaque build up
in the arteries and enhancing blood flow. Studies have also shown that
Tocotrienols reverse the course of carotid stenosis, a leading cause of strokes.
The use of Tocotrienols has also shown remarkable success against the initiation
and progression of cancerous growth.

SPECIAL NOTE:
There are several types of Vitamin E available. D-Alpha Tocopherol (100%
Natural) is 4 times more potent in biological activity than d1-Alpha Tocopherol
(Synthetic) Vitamin E. For example; 100 I.U. of d-Alpha (100% Natural) Vitamin E
is equal to 400 I.U. d1-Alpha Tocopherol (Synthetic) Vitamin E in biological
activity. Natural Vitamin E is derived from soybeans and synthetic Vitamin E
is a petroleum by-product.
