Health & Supplements

 Slender Formula 1Slender Formula 1 is a high-quality vegetarian supplement recommended by Dr. Colbert for increasing energy and burning fat. Active ingredients include green tea extract, yerba mate, and vitamin B12. Slender Formula does not contain any yeast, gluten, soy, dairy, corn, sodium, sugar, or starch. It is also free of any artificial colorings, preservatives, or flavorings.Anti-Oxidant Rich Green Tea Extract (Support Metabolic Wellness)Green tea extract is an herbal supplement derived from green tea leaves which are rich in antioxidants (GTC – green tea catechins). The extract has been used for countless years for a substantial number of practices. The biochemical properties of green tea extract include anti-oxidants (prevents free radical damage), anti-carcinogens (prevents cancer-causing agents), anti-inflammatories (minimizes inflammation), and anti-radiations (prevents radiation damage). Natural Yerba Mate(Improve Energy)Yerba mate is naturally made from rainforest holly tree leaves. The leaves contain over twenty different vitamins and minerals along with more than a dozen natural amino acids. Yerba mate is rich in anti-oxidants and highly beneficial to the body. The people of the rainforest consume yerba mate regularly and hold high levels of invigoration, concentration, and nourishment.Polyphenols (flavonoids, phenolic acids), xanthine, and minerals are naturally found in yerba mate. Flavonoids and phenolic acids play an active role in fat metabolism. The mineral content of yerba mate includes potassium, magnesium, and manganese.Necessary Vitamin B12(Improve Energy & Support Mood)Vitamin B12 is a much-needed nutrient which aids the body’s nervous system and offers a foundation for healthy red blood cell production. B12 is water soluble and involved in the metabolism of every cell in the body. The vitamin also contains the rare element of cobalt. This vitamin is only found in animal proteins, or in natural B12 supplements.Since the body cannot produce the nutrient, vitamin B12 must be consumed on a regular basis to ensure ongoing optimal health. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can cause tiredness, weakness, vision challenges, nervous system problems, and memory loss in the individual. If the body is low in B12, it may also result in poor memory, depression, confusion, and anemia. Slender Formula 25-HTP(Promotes Mood Enhancement)(5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid derived from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia. It plays an important role in the production of serotonin. 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin from tryptophan.Serotonin is a neurotransmitter (a chemical that sends a message from one nerve to another) known to play a major role in mood. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with mood disorders.Pyridoxal 5-phosphate, vitamin B6, also plays an important role in the production of serotonin. Tryptophan hyrdoxylase, the rate limiting enzyme in neural serotonin synthesis, can be inhibited by pyridoxine deficiency. Pyridoxal is also an important cofactor in the production of AADC (L-amino acid decarboxylase), which converts 5-HTP to serotonin. A study done in 2004, suggests that low Pyridoxal levels?may be related to symptoms of a mood disorder.Magnesium insufficiency, like vitamin B6, can inhibit tryptophan hydroxylase. Both calcium and magnesium deficiency are known to cause mood disorders and anxiety. Studies also suggest a link between folate (folic acid) deficiency and impaired metabolism of serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline.It has been shown that low levels of serum zinc is associated with mood disorders, and is corrected shortly after zinc supplementation. The exact mechanism of zinc for use in mood disorders is not known.You Should not take Slender 2 if on a anti-depressant, unless you are under the care of a physician. Living Chia With ProbioticsLiving Chia With Probiotics is the perfe000ct formulation to provide an advanced combination of probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein all in one product.

  Fermented Green Supremefood® Lemon Lime by Dr. Don Colbert (90 Day Supply) (Delicious & Sweetened with Stevia) Why are Fermented Superfoods better then Standard Superfoods Fermented foods have been a food choice for centuries. The practice is defined as a transformation of a substance (organic food) caused by bacteria, yeasts, molds, and other microorganisms.Complex organic catalysts and enzymes trigger a chemical response in the organic substance(s). In early history, this transformation was considered an act of the Divine. Since the practice occurred in the Jiahu village in China, where honey, rice, and beverages were made via fermentation.Researchers suggest that the process of fermentation was most likely stumbled upon when people started using salt in food. The accidental discovery of salt’s preservative power later led to the ancient Chinese to begin inoculating foods with enzyme creating molds. In more modern times, the fermentation process is also used to make vitamins, antibiotics, and both gluconic and citric acid, in addition to its continued use on the preservation and transformation of foods and beverages.Each Scoop Contains the Antioxidant Equivalency of 6 Servings of Vegetables Fundamental BenefitsThe Organic Green Tea and Digestive Enzymes Supply the body with tremendous amounts of natural energy.Organic antioxidants and probiotics help neutralize harmful free radicals.The Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics create an environment in the body, which optimizes healthy digestion.The Organic fiber found in Green Supremefood improves satiety and supports healthy glucose levels.The chlorophyll found in Wheat Grass, Spirulina and and chlorella create an alkaline environment in the tissues optimizing detoxification. The Organic Green Tea and Digestive Enzymes Supply the body with tremendous amounts of natural energy. Organic antioxidants and probiotics help neutralize harmful free radicals. The Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics create an environment in the body, which optimizes healthy digestion. The organic fiber in Green Supremefood™ improves satiety and supports healthy glucose levels. The chlorophyll found in Wheat Grass, Spirulina and and chlorella supports an alkaline environment in the tissues This process helps with detoxification. Real Testimonials  – Real CustomersGreen Supremefood™ has really changed my life. As a mum of two toddlers, I find myself looking for something sugary at midday cause my energy levels are so low. But after I started having my green juice at 3pm I experience so much energy it’s crazy. My skin’s looking better. I feel stronger. I love this product. It’s the best.I did notice that it improved my digestion, though, and reduced food cravings. And I was encouraged to think that the supplement may be detoxifying heavy metals, pesticides, and toxins.As a former professional rugby player I have tried many over the counter supplements to improve on field performance. Green Supremefood™ is the best of this section of the market, making it the best of the best. Easy to consume and packed with all the best nutrition.I currently use both Green Supremefood™ and Red Supremefood™ Everyday. I really love both products! One of the most basic and fundamental benefits found in fermented foods is that the food is preserved longer than fresh food. Fermenting foods increases the bioavailability of the nutrients in the food. Thus, you derive greater levels of nutrients in an easily digestible form, all the while increasing the number of good bacteria consumed. When foods are going through the fermentation process, the bacteria predigest some of the food, breaks down cellular walls in vegetables, and makes the nutrients and vitamins easy to absorb. This is true of carrots, beets, collard greens, peas, kelp, kale, parsley, broccoli, and spinach as well as other fermented vegetables.Fermented Foods & Gastrointestinal HealthThere’s evidence the consumption of foods that have been fermented eases digestion and simultaneously improves absorption.Our bodies are exposed to a multitude of factors that throw off the inner balance of the bacteria in the gut. When this happens, it can affect your ability to absorb foods properly, and it can also lead to illness and the weakening of immune system functioning. Some of the factors that cause bacterial imbalance in the gut include the use of antibiotics, excessive sugar consumption, excessive carbohydrate consumption, too many processed foods in the diet, and psychological stress.Consuming fermented foods helps in restoring the balance of good versus harmful gut bacteria. A number of health conditions are linked to an imbalance of gut bacteria, including conditions like asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, constipation, Candidiasis (area and systemic yeast infections), and gluten and lactose intolerance.How Green Supremefood® is Made Step 1 Add 10 veggies and 4 grassesStep 2 Add Prebiotic (Organic Molases)Step 3 Add Probiotic (Sacchromyces Boulardii,Lactobacillus plantarum)Step 4 Add Water and sit for 3 – 4 Days  The Health Benefits of Fermented VegetablesWhen you ferment vegetables, you are able to easily digest and absorb vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and enzymes in the food. For instance, when fermenting beets, you increase the nutrient density in beets especially Vitamin C. Pickled beets are also an outstanding source of magnesium, Vitamin A, Potassium, fiber, and low in fat. Meanwhile, carrots have no saturated fat, no cholesterol and offers 60 percent the daily allowance of vitamin A after fermentation. The vegetable is rich in carotenoids, as is parsley, with the latter having two times the carotenoids that carrots contain.Another vegetable rich in carotenoids is broccoli. Carotenoids are antioxidant rich phytochemicals; some research suggests that carotenoids may even offer some protection against macular degeneration. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, spinach has similar benefits; it is another fermentable vegetable featuring carotenoids as well as the flavones Apigenin and Luteolin. Apigenin is a natural imune booster, while Luteolin also has immune boosting properties, anti-inflammatory properties, and anti-viral effects.Essentially, the health benefits of fermented vegetables are well documented. Looking at the benefits of consuming fermented vegetables reveals that fermented selections are a healthier alternative. Bear in mind the decision to eat fermented or regular foods shouldn’t be an all or nothing choice.WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

 FUNCTIONSGlucose metabolism that is associated with abnormally high blood glucose can lead to high levels of glycation. Glycation is the non-enzymatic attachment of sugars to major molecules in the body, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Glycation reactions generate advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and glycotoxin intermediates. AGEs cause abnormal and destructive functioning of body proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. AGE-associated damage is suspected in the pathogenesis of many diseases and age-related deteriorations, such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and severe diabetic complications, including neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and cataracts.Gymnema sylvestre is an Ayurvedic botanical that may assist in the regeneration and repair of pancreatic beta cells. Gymnema is also suspected of reducing intestinal glucose absorption. Bitter melon(Momordica charantia) grows in tropical areas, including parts of East Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and South America, where it is used as a food as well as a medicinal remedy. The fruit of this plant lives up to its name it tastes very bitter. These include a mixture of steroidal saponins known as charantin, insulin-like peptides, and alkaloids. Research shows that (-) hydroxycitric acid helps maintain a healthy balance of hepatic lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis, thus preventing excessive conversion of glucose from carbohydrate into body fat. It is found in Garcinia cambogia, a tropical fruit grown in Asian rain forest area. Research also indicates that (-) hydrocitric acid plays an important role in the regulation of a normal appetite. Alpha-lipoic acid is a fat- and water-soluble, sulfur-containing coenzyme. It functions in the body much like a B-vitamin, since it is involved in energy production.As part of several multi-enzyme complexes located in the mitochondria, alpha-lipoic acid is essential for metabolizing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and for the conversion of their energy into ATP. Two of these enzyme complexes,PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase) and alpha-KGDH (alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase) are part of the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and as such assume a central role for general energy production. Another lipoic acid containing enzyme complex, BCKADH (branched-chain keto-acid dehydrogenase), is involved in deriving energy from the branched chain?amino acids, leucine, isoleucine, and valine. A related metabolic function of alpha-lipoic acid is its role in blood glucose disposal. This important coenzyme appears to be necessary for the normal transport of blood glucose into the cell. This may be explained by its functions in the glucose-metabolizing enzymes, PDH and alpha-KGDH, but some researchers suspect a more direct role in cellular glucose uptake at the cell membrane. Chromium is anintegral component of the glucose tolerance factor(GTF), a naturally occurring compound of chromium, nicotinic acid, and amino acids that us essential for proper glucose metabolism. Adequate chromium nutrition is essential for the formation of GTF and subsequent control of blood glucose levels.These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
