Appetite & Craving Suppressants Now up to 20% Off

Dr. Chad Prusmack's CravePruTect Nutritional Supplement and WeightLossPruTect Weight Loss Bundle Are Now on Sale for a Limited Time

Highlands Ranch, CO— May 30, 2013—PruTectRx, the leader in supplying nutritional supplements to accelerate surgical recovery, optimize daily wellness and to naturally suppress the appetite and cravings for patients and consumers, today announces that CravePruTect and WeightLossPruTect are now up to 20% off, for a limited time.

CravePruTect: Feed Your Brain, Not Your Body
CravePruTect is a nutritional supplement that reduces cravings by replacing the essential amino acids 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) and L-Tyrosine. These amino acids are depleted due to stress and/or a low calorie diet, particularly for those on restricted diets.

• 5-HTP: occurs as a natural precursor to serotonin, and certain serotonin receptors have been shown to reduce appetite
• DLPA: regulates the release of the brain's hunger signaler, cholecystokinin
• L-Tyrosine: counteracts the effects of elevated stress levels, which deplete the body's resources of certain neurotransmitters which suppress appetite

CravePruTect boosts 5-HTP, DLPA and L-Tyrosine levels in the brain, which satisfies our "reward cascade." This feeling of satisfaction keeps you from craving calorie-rich carbohydrates, alcohol and other things that we do not need.

WeightLossPruTect: CravePruTect + WeightPruTect
The product bundle, WeightLossPruTect, consists of two PruTectRx nutritional supplements: CravePruTect and WeightPruTect.

WeightPruTect consists of highly potent green tea extract (600 mg), which helps to suppress your appetite and increase your body's metabolism, giving you a thermogenic metabolism boost. Each WeightPruTect capsule is equivalent to drinking about 10 cups of green tea.

On Sale Now
A 60-day supply of CravePruTect is now available for $31.95. A 60-day supply of WeightLossPruTect is now available for $89.95. Both nutritional supplements are sold exclusively on www.prutectrx.com.

How Boosting Serotonin Levels Can Lead to Weight Loss

Low Serotonin Levels & Weight Gain

What makes us happy? Surely, the people in our lives and our environment play major roles, but so too does the neurotransmitter serotonin.

For some, low serotonin levels may help explain why some may feel down when there is no other obvious reason. For many, low serotonin levels can simply have us feeling unsatisfied, leading to cravings for food when we are not necessarily hungry. This is why people with persistently low levels of serotonin may struggle to maintain a healthy weight.

Low serotonin levels in most are caused by stress. Take away the stress and serotonin levels may normalize on their own. However, since we live in the real world, people may need help from nutritional supplements to boost serotonin levels in addition to seeking a less stressful lifestyle.

The Role of Nutritional Supplements

Why do we need nutritional supplements to boost serotonin levels instead of making simple dietary changes? Because serotonin is not found in the food we eat. Instead, serotonin is derived from 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which is also not found in food but is found in tryptophan, an essential amino acid.

While tryptophan is well known as being found in turkey, and largely responsible for that feeling of sleepiness after Thanksgiving dinner, it is not found in a high enough quantity in any food to elevate serotonin levels. However, nutritional supplements that contain at least 100mg of 5-HTP are able to increase serotonin levels.

How an African Plant Can Boost Your Serotonin Level

5-HTP found in nutritional supplements is typically derived from the seeds of a plant called Griffonia simplicifolia, an ivy-like shrub found in West and Central Africa. These seeds are then ground into a powder and packaged in a vegetable gel capsule. Once ingested, the body converts the seed powder into 5-HTP and then serotonin. Elevated serotonin levels then help to give us a feeling of well-being that can lead to improvements in mood, sleep and happiness and decrease feelings of hunger, anxiety and depression.

CravePruTect: Now 20% Off (for a limited time)

As part of the PruTect Series of nutritional supplements, CravePruTect features 150mg of 5-HTP, derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds, and can only be found on the PruTectRx website here—for 20% off.

What Is The Benefit Of Vitamin D3?

What is the benefit of Vitamin D?

Did you say to strengthen bones? That’s what I originally thought. But this is not entirely true. As it turns out, this is likely just because I associate Vitamin D with milk, and I associate milk with calcium which helps to strengthen bones. The true benefit of Vitamin D, however, is that it helps your intestines absorb more nutrients. In this way it does help strengthen bones, but it does so by allowing the body to absorb more calcium.

Not a Vitamin?

Vitamin D was added to milk in an effort to increase the availability of this critical vitamin. Or should I say nutrient. You see, Vitamin D, likely the most popular vitamin this side of Vitamin C, is not even technically a vitamin. A vitamin is defined as something that is not readily available to us without actively ingesting it. Because as humans we can absorb Vitamin D from the sun it cannot technically be considered a vitamin. But because we do supplement our diets with Vitamin C in order to ensure we are getting a sufficient supply at different times of the year (like for those of you who trudge through the long, cloudy winters) we still get away with calling it a vitamin.

Surgical Benefits

After surgeries it is extra important to make sure your body is absorbing the proper nutrients and vitamins in order to recover as quickly as possible. When you think about it, this makes perfect sense. If you have a bone fracture it is going to be essential to healing that your body takes in as much calcium as possible. Surgeries also typically result in the need to take medication for pain, and painkillers are notorious for causing constipation. Vitamin D then becomes increasingly important for your intestines to absorb key nutrients that aid in digestion so that you can be as comfortable as possible as you recover.

Vitamin D3 is a key component in SurgiPack, a revolutionary new supplement that is designed to help you speed through recovery and get you back on your feet as without having to endure typical pains after surgery. SurgiPak is available now. Click here to learn more about how SurgiPack can help you prepare for and recover from your upcoming procedure.

Peppercorn: How a "Fruit" Supports Brain Health

What is your favorite fruit? Apples or bananas? Blueberries or raspberries? Mangos, perhaps?

How about... pepper?

That's right. Although we know it better in its dried and ground form, pepper is technically a fruit. It is the dried fruit called a peppercorn that is ground into the spice with which we are so familiar. And this "fruit" is packed with nutritional benefits.

Piperine
What gives pepper its kick, and also provides its nutritional punch, is called piperine. Piperine is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and it helps support overall digestive health. One of its most important benefits, however, is that it enhances the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. More simply, piperine supports nutrient absorption in the intestines.

It has even been shown to increase absorption of curcumin and its source, turmeric, by 2,000%. Otherwise, curcumin would simply pass through the body and we would miss its ability to improve brain function.

Where is Piperine Found?

Piperine can be extracted from black pepper and is available as BioPerine. BioPerine is found in the nutritional supplement, NeuroPruTect.

NeuroPruTect supports brain health with 200mg of turmeric rhizome extract (95% curcuminoids) by boosting mental acuity, improving memory, increasing alertness, and providing antioxidant support. NeuroPruTect also aids in surgery preparation and recovery as part of SurgiPack.

SurgiPack is a specially formulated line of supplements developed to speed surgery recovery times and was developed by neurosurgeon Dr. Chad Prusmack. If you will soon be undergoing surgery, or if you recently have had surgery, SurgiPruTect will help accelerate your recovery.

Dr. Chad's CrossFit Games Results

The Reebok CrossFit Open Games ended yesterday. Dr. Chad's results:

• Placed 1225th in the world (top 20%)
• Placed 90th in the US Southwest Region (top 20%)

"I'm glad it's over," said Dr. Chad.

More on Dr. Chad's CrossFit Games progress can be found here

What kept Dr. Chad healthy during the CrossFit Games? In addition to normally working out several times a week and adhering to a Mediterranean and all-organic diet, Dr. Chad uses his own protein powder ProteinPruTect to helps boost his immunity. ProteinPruTect achieves this largely because of its serum-derived immunoglobulin concentrate.

Immunoglobulins help strengthen the body's 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, such as during strenuous CrossFit Games workouts, significantly less immunoglobulins are secreted. Supplemental immunoglobulins can support the body's immune system, such as serum-derived immunoglobulin concentrate (SDIC).

SDIC is the leading ingredient of ProteinPruTect and represents a breakthrough in immunoglobulin supplementation. SDIC is 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. SDIC delivers 15 times the level of transferrin and lactoferrin than colostrum alone and one therapeutic dose of ProteinPruTect supplies over 2,500 mg of SDIC.

What is Tumeric?

Turmeric is widely used as a spice in South Asia and is the predominant ingredient in curry and is part of the ginger family. One of its most noticeable traits is its bright yellow color which was the original attraction to the spice: it was used as a dye thousands of years ago before it was discovered to have certain Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) medicinal properties.

What are the Benefits?

The primary component of turmeric is a natural phenol called curcumin (not to be confused with the familiar sounding spice cumin). Curcumin is actually the culprit for the distinctive yellow coloring, and it is also responsible for most of the health benefits of turmeric. Most notably, curcumin has been shown to be a potent herbal remedy as it possesses many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Why is Turmeric (and Curcumin) Important?

After going through the trauma of surgery, the body needs time to recover from the stress of being cut open. By supplementing your intake of turmeric, you help your body recover from the trauma. After surgery, free radicals are even more abundant as the body is using its primary defenses to focus on healing from surgery. Increased anti-oxidants can come to the rescue to ensure that your body is fully protected from intruders that can cause further cell damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric help support recovery of inflamed post-surgical tissue.

Turmeric also supports a healthy digestive system, which after surgery is especially important given the fact that pain medications often cause digestive issues. As an added bonus, when incorporated into a balanced diet, turmeric also has been shown to help maintain a healthy weight.

What You Can Do

Turmeric is a key ingredient in NeuroPruTect, which is part of SurgiPack, a new bundle from PruTectRx that accelerates surgery recovery. Both NeuroPruTect and SurgiPack are available for purchase online at www.prutectrx.com.
