Fend Off Free Radicals with Two Antioxidants You Should Know

Every day, your body's cells are under attack from free radicals in the form of pollution, smoke and food additives—all of which can damage cell structures. Over time, this damage can decrease your body’s natural ability to function properly.

One way to fight back is to eat foods high in antioxidants. Antioxidants attack these havoc-wreaking free radicals and help promote overall health and wellness. However, if you don't eat a lot of carbs or curry, you may need to supplement your diet with nutritional supplements rich in antioxidants.

Antioxidants & Energy

On their own, antioxidants do not create energy. Energy comes from the intake of calories in the form of carbohydrates, protein and fat. However, when you take a nutritional supplement rich in antioxidants, you give your body the ammunition needed to support the overall quality of your health, which in turn helps you feel more vibrant and energetic.

Two such antioxidants are Vitamin E and turmeric.

Vitamin E & Turmeric

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that prevents the production of free radicals when fat undergoes oxidation. Vitamin E comes in multiple forms, but its most biologically active form is α-Tocopherol and can be found abundantly in wheat germ, sunflower and safflower oils.

Turmeric is the predominant ingredient in Indian curry and is taken from Zingiberaceae, a perennial plant in the ginger family. The power behind this specific free radical fighter is curcumin, which also gives turmeric its distinctive yellow color.

Each of these powerful antioxidants can be found in OmegaSmoothiePruTect, a delicious liquid nutritional supplement. By adding OmegaSmoothiePruTect to your diet, you not only supply your body with antioxidants to fend off free radicals, but you also support joint tissue health, brain function and nervous system function with omega-3.

OmegaSmoothiePruTect Now Available

You can now buy OmegaSmoothiePruTect in two delicious flavors: Key Lime and Lemon Meringue. Add one tablespoon to your morning smoothie, oatmeal, yogurt, or just drink it straight.

Dr. Chad Surgical Recovery Tip: when combined with our ProteinPruTect protein powder as part of our Omega3ProteinPruTect Key Lime and Lemon Meringue bundles (10% off), you can now get all of your daily omega-3, aminos, immno-stimulation, GI support, and brain protection needs fulfilled pill-free when it's difficult to eat and swallow—particularly useful for cervical surgery as well as any surgical procedure that makes it hard to swallow pills.

Bioavailability & Omega-3 "Swirl Technology"

We are inundated with products that are allegedly jam-packed with great stuff, including vitamins an nutritional supplements that claim to offer things like 100,000 mg of Vitamin C per dose or an entire cow’s worth of protein in a single pill.

Even if something like that did exist (which it doesn't), your body isn't incapable of absorbing so much of one nutrient. The same is also true for products offering the right amounts of nutrients. Even if the body can theoretically process something, it will end up in the excretory system instead of being absorbed by your body unless there is something that stimulates absorption or what we call the "bioavailability" of these ingredients.

Omega-3 Bioavailability
Fish oil is chock full of essential omega-3 fatty acids, but it can be challenging to obtain all of its benefits in its original form. OmegaSmoothiePruTect ensures that you receive the full impact of all omega-3s contained in this high-dosage fish oil by breaking down fish oil molecules into smaller, more absorbable pieces with our proprietary "Swirl Technology."

Swirl Technology micronizes omega-3 for rapid and complete digestion, intestinal absorption and maximal assimilation into the bloodstream and body. Here's how it works:


In fact, a recent clinical study by the Centre for Nutritional Studies found that the formula in OmegaSmoothiePruTect is nine times more bioavailable than standard fish oil.

Introducing WeightPruTect: Your Thermogenic Metabolism Boost

You Never Thought of Green Tea Like This Before... WeightPruTect Green Tea Extract Nutritional Supplement from PruTectRx

With all that science has to offer, Mother Nature can still provide the best solutions for health and weight loss. Science does, however, help Mother Nature pack a more powerful punch.

Introducing WeightPruTect
WeightPruTect is a green tea extract nutritional supplement that helps promote healthy weight. Each 600 mg capsule contains 80% polyphenols, 60% catechins and 30% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These polyphonic compounds stimulate our bodies to burn more calories that they would otherwise, decreasing body fat as a result. This is what we call the "thermogenic metabolism boost."

The Benefits of Green Tea without the Restroom Visits
Until now, the only way to maximize the weight control benefits of green tea in its natural form would take upwards of ten cups of tea per day. Now you can enjoy these benefits by taking 1-2 WeightPruTect capsules per day.

But Wait, There's More...
Learn more about WeightPruTect, or see how you can achieve even greater results when WeightPruTect is used in conjunction with CravePruTect as part of our WeightLossPruTect lifestyle package—just in time for the holidays.

How a Spoonful of Naturally Sweetened Fish Oil Makes the Omega-3 Go Down

Mary Poppins was onto something when she sang about adding a spoonful of sugar to make something healthy like fish oil go down.

But what if you don't want your fish oil nutritional supplement loaded up with sugar? You could take a fish oil softgel but they're usually big and/or lead to gas and bloating.

Is there something naturally sweet that can make liquid fish oil go down?

Smoothie Power
As you might imagine, liquid fish oil by itself is not the best tasting stuff in the world. Enter the power of the naturally sweetened smoothie.

OmegaSmoothiePruTect is an all-natural and sugar-free formulation of fish oil that looks and tastes just like a key lime or lemon meringue smoothie. OmegaSmoothiePrutect proves that, when mixed with the proper ingredients, even a spoonful of liquid fish oil can be a delicious addition to oatmeal, yogurt or even straight up. And, with all due respect to Mary Poppins, it doesn’t even need a spoonful of sugar to go down.

Not sure? If you don't like the way OmegaSmoothiePrutect tastes, we will refund your money.

This means that there is nine times the amount of fish oil that makes it into your bloodstream with OmegaSmoothiePruTect.

The Secret to Effective Fish Oil Absorption: Enteric Coating

Omega3PruTect Fish Oil Enteric Coating
If you've ever taken Omega-3 fish oil supplements, you may have experienced gas, bloating, bile emulsification, and the dreaded "fishy burps." Omega3PruTect's enteric coating eliminates all of these issues, and also helps maximize absorption. There's nothing fishy about it.

Enteric coating is a resin derived from the skin of the Indian shellac beetle. While this may sound less-than-appetizing, this coating is tasteless, natural, chemical-free, and, more importantly, helps prevent stomach acid prematurely dissolving and releasing each capsule's contents. Enteric-coated capsules are instead absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract where they have the most benefit, 60 minutes after being ingested.

The resulting increased absorption leads to the greater red blood cell incorporation and bioavailability of Omega-3, so you get higher potency and maximum benefit of each capsule and its 780mg of active ingredients. Enteric-coated, GMP certified Omega3PruTect fish oil supplements are only available from Dr. Chad and not in Walgreens, CVS, GNC, Costco or grocery stores.

Testimonial
From one of our customers in Chicago: "Omega3PruTect is the only fish oil I've ever tried that didn't upset my stomach. I hate to sound gross but the burping up fish flavor is not there anymore. Good stuff."

As the Temperature Drops, Boost Your Immunity with ProteinPruTect

Now that autumn is upon us, it's good to start thinking about how we can stay healthy through the fall and winter seasons. In addition to moderating junk food and alcohol intake and getting enough sleep, we recommend boosting your immunity by taking immunoglobulin supplements.

Immuno-what?
Immunoglobulins help strengthen the immune system by helping to ensure that only nutrients are absorbed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in our digestive system. The GI tract normally produces about five grams of immunoglobulins per day. However, during times of stress (or increased junk food and/or alcohol consumption) significantly less immunoglobulins are secreted. Supplemental immunoglobulins can support the body's immune system, such as IgG 2000DF.

ProteinPruTect Protein Supplement with IgG 2000 DF from PruTectRxThe leading ingredient of ProteinPruTect is IgG 2000DF—a highly concentrated, non-dairy source of serum-derived immunoglobulin antibodies and immuno-proteins. It possesses three times more IgG and total immunoglobulins than colostrum and has twice as much cysteine, an important amino acid for maintaining glutathione levels. IgG 2000 DF delivers 15 times the level of transferrin and lactoferrin than colostrum alone and one therapeutic dose of IgG 2000 DF supplies over 2,000 mg of IgG and is free of dairy, glutens and soy.

ProteinPruTect
You can buy ProteinPruTect from ouronline store here. ProteinPruTect is part of GMP-certified nutritional supplement or "nutraceutical" PruTect Series.

The Skinny: Resveratrol & Anti-Aging

Resveratrol promotes cardiovascular health through its antioxidant action and its ability to promote healthy platelet function and maintain healthy arachidonic acid metabolism. What does this mean? Resveratrol has been linked to prolonging life because of its anti-aging benefits.

Resveratrol & Red Wine
Though it is found in the skin of red grapes and in other fruits and commonly associated with the health benefits of red wine because of its powerful antioxidant and cardioprotectant properties, red wine actually contains only a small amount of resveratrol—on the order of 0.1-14.3 mg/l according to the study Biotransformationof Piceid in Polygonum Cuspidatum to Resveratrol by Aspergillus Oryzae. Though we would never recommend against enjoying a glass of red wine, you’ll need to obtain resveratrol in a supplement, such as that found in our WellnessPack.

Japanese Knotweed
The resveratrol found in PruTectRx supplement bundle, WellnessPack, is derived from one of the richest known sources: polygonum cuspidatum otherwise known as Japanese knotweed or "itadori" in Japanese, which is an herb utilized for centuries. Also native to China and Korea, Japanese knotweed is a herbaceous perennial plant and considered an invasive species in the United States. Resveratrol is extractred from Japanese knotweed because of its high concentration and wide availability, which helps keep costs down.

Here's what David Sinclair, Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Laboratories for the Biological Mechanisms of Aging at Harvard Medical School, has to say about resveratrol at TEDMED: http://youtu.be/xCGwhXOP8_Y

Vitamin D & Increasing Hip Strength

While some reports have found it unclear if vitamin D strengthens hip strength, a new report that appears in the New England Journal of Medicine has found otherwise.

The Report, has concluded the following:

Note the ≥800 IU daily: we recommend 4,000 to 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily.

This report was supported by a professorship grant from the Swiss National Foundation and a grant from the European Commission Framework 7 Program.

Which Is More Important for a Longer Life: Telomeres or Cholesterol?

Recently, you've been hearing a lot from us about how lengthening telomeres can increase your lifespan. While you may have doubts about this information coming from Chrissy, consider this from Dr. Joseph M. Raffaele, MD—the co-founder of PhysioAge Medical Group, a clinical practice in New York City that is at the leading edge of the emerging field of medicine focused on scientifically sound approaches to staying younger longer.

"A telomere is the protective cap at the end of a chromosome, the thread-like structure that carries the genetic material of our cells. Think of it as akin to the plastic tips that prevent the ends of a shoelace from fraying. Telomeres keep our chromosomes intact, healthy and functioning—allowing them to reproduce cells, which is the key to healthy aging, if not life itself."

If you're interested in measuring the length of your telomeres, take the test and let us know if you have questions about TA-65 Anti-Aging.

Tip of the Day: Take Vitamin D with Food


According to a new report, Taking Vitamin D With the Largest Meal Improves Absorption and Results in Higher Serum Levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D by Guy B. Mulligan and Angelo Licata, taking vitamin D supplements during the largest meal of the day will improve absorption and increase serum levels of 25(OH)D.

This is important as many patients treated for vitamin D deficiency fail to achieve an adequate serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] despite high doses of ergo- or cholecalciferol. The objective of this study was to determine whether administration of vitamin D supplement with the
largest meal of the day would improve absorption and increase serum levels of 25(OH)D.

This was a prospective cohort study in an ambulatory tertiary-care referral center. Patients seen at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation Bone Clinic for the treatment of vitamin D deficiency who were not responding to treatment make up the study group. Subjects were instructed to take their usual vitamin D supplement with the largest meal of the day. The main outcome measure was the serum 259(OH)D level after 2 to 3 months. Seventeen patients were analyzed. The mean age ( ±SD) and sex (F/M) ratio were 64.5 ± 11.0 years and 13 females and 4 males, respectively. The dose of 25(OH)D ranged from 1,000 to 50,000 IU daily. The mean baseline serum 25(OH)D level ( SD) was 30.5 ± 4.7 ng/mL (range 21.6 to 38.8 ng/mL). The mean serum 25(OH)D level after diet modification ( ±SD) was 47.2 ± 10.9 ng/mL (range 34.7 to 74.0 ng/mL, p<.01). Overall, the average serum 25(OH)D level increased by 56.7% ±36.7%. A subgroup analysis based on the weekly dose of vitamin D was performed, and a similar trend was observed.

Thus it is concluded that taking vitamin D with the largest meal improves absorption and results in about a 50% increase in serum levels of 25(OH)D levels achieved. Similar increases were observed in a wide range of vitamin D doses taken for a variety of medical conditions.

Anti-Aging through Telomerase Activation

"Telomerase activation in aged or chronically stressed normal cells has been shown to slow or reverse telomere shortening, increase replicative capacity and restore or improve cellular function," according to Geron Corporation (NDAQ: GERN)

In Layman's Terms: lengthening telomeres through telomerase activation in DNA strands can slow aging.

TA-65® is a proven telomerase activator that was discovered by California biotech company Geron, and licensed to T.A Sciences and only available for purchase from some of the leading physicians in the United States, including Dr. Chad Prusmack, founder of PruTectRx.

Dr. Chad's patients take TA-65 capsules in a 12-month program known as the Patton Protocol. TA-65 turns on the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (hTERT), which activates the enzyme telomerase which can lengthen your telomeres. We measure your telomeres before, during and after completing the Protocol to show actual changes in telomere length.
