Not All Calcium Is Created Equally...

Not all forms of calcium are the same. OsteoPruTect features micro-crystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate (MCHC), a premium, proprietary, cryogenically processed whole bone extract that is twice as effective as calcium carbonate at building bone.

MCHC originates from New Zealand, the country that raises one of the world's safest, most natural sources of bone. MCHC provides a crystalline calcium and phosphorous matrix in the ideal physiological ratio of 2:1. MCHC also delivers bioactive growth factors and type I collagen, amino acids, glycosaminoglycans and a broad range of essential trace elements. During four decades of scientific research on MCHC, numerous studies document the reversal of bone loss at therapeutic levels of supplementation.

Though MCHC is perhaps the most powerful form of calcium found in any supplement on the market, its effectiveness is minimized without proper absorption. That is why OsteoPruTect also features the collagen catalyst ch-OSA® and vitamin D3.

How Collagen Strengthens Bone

OsteoPruTect contains choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®)—one of the most effective substances on the market for promoting the generation of collagen. This collagen catalyst links together single chains of amino acids to form collagen strands. The collagen strands create the core-post "binding sites" for calcium and other bone minerals. In addition to helping reduce wrinkles, the oral supplementation of ch-OSA has been studied in chicks, rats, calves and humans. [1,2,3,4]

In a 12-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, (n=136 women; T score <1.5), a study group received 6mg of ch-OSA along with 1,000mg calcium and 800 IU vitamin D3, while another group received a placebo in addition to the same amounts of calcium and vitamin D3. Upon completion, the study group showed a 19% increase in serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (PINP), the most sensitive bone formation marker, an overall positive trend for other bone formation markers (BAP, osteocalcin), and a 2.00% increase in BMD compared to the women taking only placebo, calcium and vitamin D3. Additionally, the ch-OSA group showed no adverse effects. [5]

An earlier study demonstrated that orthosilicic acid directly stimulates collagen type 1 synthesis in human osteoblast-like cells (bone-forming cells) and enhances osteoblastic differentiation. [6] Another OSA study demonstrated that the increase in collagen-responsible bone flexibility resulted in a greater resistance to physical stress. [7]

In addition to strengthening bones, ch-OSA and the collagen it helps generate helps prevent wrinkles. A nice side benefit, no?

You Are What You Eat

It's becoming increasingly difficult to know what's actually in the food we eat every day. Seemingly normal foods are becoming adulterated through processes that go unseen and, as they say, "out of sight out of mind."

But there are dangers with blindly trusting the source of what you put in your body. Anything from vegetables to eggs to milk can be genetically modified (GM) in some way as it moves along the food chain. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) represent an experimental technology that creates plant and animal genes that cannot occur on their own in nature.

GMO foods can be toxic or allergenic. At a very basic level they can also cause digestive issues as well. As it becomes more difficult to track the lineage of your food, you are at an increased risk of experiencing the negative effects of consuming GM foods. That is why it is becoming increasingly important to know where your food comes from.

Non-GMO Vegetable Protein & Nutritional Supplements

When a person undergoes surgery, it is even more important to reduce exposure to potentially harmful foods. For this reason, ProteinPruTect uses only non-GMO rice and pea protein, the benefits of which are two-fold:

1. There is no risk of consuming potentially harmful substances, and
2. Rice and pea based protein does not contain any allergens such as eggs, soy, milk, or wheat (glutens)

Another benefit of non-GMO vegetable protein is especially important after surgery when you take into account the fact that pain medication frequently causes digestive issues. By using a non-allergenic protein to boost recovery, you help support healthy digestive system function.

ProteinPruTect

When combined with immunoglobulin concentrate and arabinogalactan, ProteinPruTect helps accelerate surgery recovery and promotes daily wellness. ProteinPruTect is only available from PruTectRx.

A Rose by Any Other Name Would Be as Beautiful...

...and an immunoglobulin by any other name would be just as effective. It would also be called an antibody, as it's more commonly known.

Immunoglobulins work to identify and attack foreign substances known as antigens. Common antigens include bacteria and viruses, and they can also include fungi, pet dander, pollution, and just about any other un-welcome invader trying to wreak havoc on your health and well being.

What do immunoglobulins do and how do they work?

There are five major types of antibodies, the most abundant being immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgG makes up between 75% and 80% of all immunoglobulins, and it can be found in all bodily fluids. IgG is essential when it comes to fighting off antigens but, when counts are low, your immune system becomes less effective.

There are many different ways your body can be immunoglobulin-deficient. When your body undergoes trauma or stress, this signals your body to send immunoglobulin fighters to resolve the problem. It's an absolute marvel that your body is able to respond in this way. However, in certain situations, this can leave other parts of your body exposed to additional threats.

For example, if you have a surgery, your body's immunoglobulins are put on high alert and go right to the immediate threat. This depletes overall immunoglobulin levels that can then be used to fight off more "normal" antigens. In other words, your body is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and this undermines your body's overall defenses.

How do you prevent this?

There is a way to give your immune system a boost when you are preparing for and recovering from surgery. By supplementing your body's natural production of immunoglobulins, you can help to ensure your immune system is running on all cylinders. This will help end the internal chaos caused by the stress that surgery puts on your body.

Where can you find IgG?

IgG is a key component of serum-derived immunoglobulin concentrate and can be found in ProteinPruTect. Being "serum-derived" helps increase the potency and effectiveness of IgG. That combined with the fact that ProteinPruTect is made of only the highest quality ingredients and is an all-natural, gluten-free, dairy-free, fructose-free formula. ProteinPruTect is available now on PruTectRx.com.

The Appetite Suppression of Green Tea without the Restroom Visits

Green tea has long demonstrated many health benefits, including appetite suppression. However, to experience them, it would be necessary to almost constantly be drinking a cup of tea. It's for this reason that the primary components of green tea have been extracted to provide 10 cups worth of green tea in a single capsule of the new PruTectRx product, WeightPruTect, thereby providing you with excellent antioxidant power without all of the trips to the restroom.

What is Green Tea Extract?
Green tea extract is essentially all of the key constituents of green tea in a more potent form. The biochemical properties of green tea extracts can be generally divided into four aspects – antioxidant, anticarcinogen, anti-inflammatory, and anti-radiation. Through a purification process, however, it is possible to extract those primary benefits to acquire a higher content of tea catechins, the "magic" piece of the green tea puzzle.

Catechins are part of a group of polyphenols called flavonoids that are found naturally in plants and help to stimulate thermogenesis, the process by which the body generates heat therefore increasing metabolism.

Why Green Tea?

From the antioxidant perspective, green tea extracts are, generally speaking, more effective than black tea extracts due to the better preservation of catechins because in black tea the catechins are fully oxidized and converted to theaflavins. In other words, the good stuff isn't destroyed through the purification process.

Green Tea Extract Trivia
Did you know that green tea extract is 20 times more antioxidant-active than Vitamin C? Now that's what we call packing a punch!

Green Tea & Weight Loss

Along with its incredible antioxidant properties, green tea also supports a healthy metabolism. It is for this purpose that WeightPruTect was created. WeightPruTect is specifically formulated to support proper weight maintenance and control while still providing the benefits associated with antioxidants including immune system function and endocrine system function.

Antifreeze for Your Immune System

Antifreeze is a remarkable product: not only does it ensure that your car will start in extreme winter cold, but it also protects your car from overheating in the summer by regulating the engine's temperature.

How is it possible for the same product to perform seemingly contradictory functions? The answer is a substance called ethylene glycol, which has a boiling point of 387° and a freezing point of -40° so that it can regulate your engine's temperature in extreme hot or cold temperatures.

With the temperature outside dropping, our immune system often needs an added boost. Our bodies need something that will moderate our immunity, keeping it from falling too low, while also needs something to make sure our immune systems don't become over-stimulated by all the junk in the air. Is there something that could have the same impact on our immunity as antifreeze has on engines—but that we can take without being rushed to the hospital?

Nature's Antifreeze
Enter arabinogalactan, a natural substance that serves as antifreeze for your immune system. Arabinogalactan is a soluble fiber found in many wooded plants and some vegetables that functions to normalize the immune system by keeping it both from either under-performing or over-acting. This helps the immune system effectively deal with real threats to the body versus other things that can cause it to needlessly kick into high gear.

The greatest concentration of arabinogalactan is found in the western larch tree. Its ability to act like antifreeze for the tree's immune system should come as no surprise, as the western larch must protect itself against the freeze-thaw cycles it experiences in its native Pacific Northwest.

Other Benefits
Arabinogalactan also acts as a prebiotic and has been shown to enhance digestion by promoting the growth of friendly bacteria. When arabinogalactan enters the digestive tract, it ferments and produces a metabolic by-product called short-chain fatty acids, which are essential to food's digestion. Prebiotics also help support gastrointestinal (GI) function.

Don't Eat Bark
Fortunately, you don't have to eat the bark of the western larch tree to get the benefits of nature's antifreeze. Arabinogalactan is an ingredient found in ProteinPruTect, an all-natural, GMP certified nutritional supplement used to boost immunity, improve GI function and strengthen overall health.
