<font size="5" face="Georgia">C</font>al-Mag provides GNLD’s unique amino-acid-chelated calcium to improve absorption in a 2-to-1 ratio with magnesium, a mineral which plays important roles in numerous enzyme systems and in regulating the cardiovascular system and muscle contraction.</p>
<p><strong>Now with 1000 IU high potency Vitamin D3.</strong> Vitamin D is important since it is needed in the body to absorb and utilize calcium from the diet.</p>
<p><a align="left"  href="http://neo-life.com/nutr-facts/3404.png"><img align="left"  src="http://neo-life.com/nutr-facts/nut_th.gif"></a><strong>Calcium and magnesium, necessary for strong bones and teeth, are also critical to many enzyme reactions, cardiovascular health, and nerve and muscle function</strong>.* A healthy diet and sufficient uptake of calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life, especially for teen and young adult women.</p>
<p><strong>GNLD’s double amino chelates</strong> employ glycine for significantly higher calcium and magnesium absorption.</p>
<p><strong>Preferred 2:1 ratio</strong>, calcium to magnesium.</p>
<p><strong>Contains 1000 IU Vitamin D3</strong> from cholecalciferol, which is readily absorbable and highly bioavailable.  <span id="more-518"></span></p>
<hr size="1">
<p><H6>SUGGESTED USE: 3 tablets daily as a supplemental source of calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D.</H6></p>
<p>Other ingredients: Powdered cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, food glaze, magnesium silicate, sodium croscarmellose and natural color.</p>
<hr size="1">
<p><strong>Q. Because of my severe food allergies, I need to know if there are any dairy products, corn, soy, wheat or yeast products present in Chelated Cal-Mag?</strong></p>
<p>A. Neither of GNLD’s Chelated Cal-Mag products contain any dairy products, corn, soy, wheat, or yeast products.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Is the &#8220;natural color&#8221; listed in Cal-Mag added color, or the natural color of the ingredients?</strong></p>
<p>A. The natural color used in both Cal-Mag products is carmine, a pure, natural color also known as Cochineal. Carmine is widely used in the nutrition industry for its rich color for decades.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Where or what is calcium glycinate?</strong></p>
<p>Calcium glycinate is the result of GNLD’s unique chelation process, the natural amino acid glycine is combined with a calcium carbonate. GNLD’s high-quality chelated minerals set the industry&#8217;s gold standard for mineral supplementation.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Why is magnesium included in Cal-Mag? Why is the ratio 2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium?</strong></p>
<p>A. GNLD’s Chelated Cal-Mag is formulated with magnesium because magnesium is directly related to efficient calcium utilization. Chelated Cal-Mag contains magnesium glycinate (made from the natural amino acid glycine), and recent studies show this is the best formulation for absorption. There are many health benefits associated with magnesium. For example, magnesium is required for the most important enzymes that form DNA. Also, magnesium has been shown to play an important role in regulating the cardiovascular system and muscle contraction.</p>
<p>It is known that stress depletes the body’s supply of magnesium, and researcher are now trying to determine if that depletion leads to a contraction of blood vessels, producing hypertension. Cal-Mag is one of the most valuable supplements available today, offering the benefits of two minerals that can dramatically influence overall health.</p>
<p>The SAB determined that a 2-to-1 ratio would provide the user with optimum amounts of these two very important minerals, since many individuals not only fail to receive sufficient calcium on a consistent basis, but even fewer receive adequate magnesium.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Why does Cal-Mag have such a low amount of calcium in it?</strong></p>
<p>A. Many of our Distributors and their customers consume calcium-rich diets, Chelated Cal-Mag is an exceptional product for those who wish to supplement their diets with a few hundred milligrams of calcium each day and ensure they receive an optimum amount of calcium and magnesium.</p>
<p>Chelated Cal-Mag is an excellent source of supplemental dietary calcium. It is a calcium and magnesium supplement, at a 2-to-1 ratio. In addition, these minerals are chelated to maximize absorption. The combination of calcium, magnesium and the amino acid glycine necessary for chelation takes up quite a lot of room, so the mineral potency per tablet is lower than a supplement such as Neo-Cal, which is primarily a calcium supplement and not chelated.</p>
<p><strong>Q. What is the difference between Cal Mag tablets and Cal Mag capsules?</strong></p>
<p>A. Both tablets and capsules contain 100 mg of calcium plus 50 mg of magnesium; the difference is in the capsule, contains 400 IU of vitamin D3 per serving while the tablet now contains 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving.</p>
<p>Both Chelated Cal-Mag products use the unique amino acid chelated form of calcium for improved absorption. Either product is a perfect way to supplement the body with the extra calcium needed. Three capsules provide 30% of the U.S. RDA.</p>
<p><strong>Q. I read that calcium carbonate is the least bioavailable. If this is true, why do we use it in our supplements?</strong></p>
<p>A. Contrary to what you read, calcium carbonate is highly bioavailable. And GNLD products have been formulated to maximize bioavailability. We chose calcium carbonate because it is a superior, organically-derived source of calcium. It consistently provides a high degree of purity in a form that tends to be more readily soluble to improve absorption by the body. Also, calcium carbonate is an excellent natural source of calcium which delivers the most calcium per unit of weight of raw material.</p>
<p>It is important to know that bioavailability is not easily measured. The testing is involved, expensive, and in the case of radioactive measures, dangerous. GNLD uses both disintegration and dissolution testing to calculate bioavailability. This approach, which employs rigorous, standardized USP testing procedures, has been well correlated with bioavailability. The disintegration and dissolution of all GNLD’s calcium products has been shown to exceed the USP standard for dissolution time. Additionally, we routinely perform tablet dissolution and tablet disintegration tests as part of our quality control process. It is for these reasons that you can be sure that the calcium in GNLD’s products is superior and highly bioavailable.</p>
<p><strong>Q: I noticed that the new Chelated Cal-Mag with D tablet contains a different vitamin D source than the Chelated Cal-Mag with D capsule.  Why is that and should I be concerned about optimal absorption and bioavailablity?</strong></p>
<p>A: The vitamin D source for the Chelated Cal-Mag with D capsule comes from both fish liver oil and cholecalciferol.  Both are a source of Vitamin D3, which is thought to be more than three times as effective as vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) in raising and maintaining vitamin D concentrations in the blood. Unlike the capsule, the tablet cannot support an oil-based ingredient so the product is made without fish liver oil. However, the cholecalciferol source alone is as highly absorbable, bioavailable and effective as fish liver oil and is an optimal source of vitamin D supplementation.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Is there any difference in dissolution time between the capsules and tablets? Do Cal-Mag tablets have greater bioavailability than the capsules? If so, how much?</strong></p>
<p>A. Any difference in bioavailability between Cal-Mag tablets and Cal-Mag capsules would be insignificant. Both products exceed the standard of 75% dissolution 30 minutes after ingestion. That standard insures that a product will be &#8220;bio-available&#8221; throughout its transit through the digestive tract.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Do any of our products contain coral calcium? What is coral calcium exactly and how does it compare to our calcium products?</strong></p>
<p>A. None of GNLD&#8217;s products contain Coral calcium. Coral calcium is not a source of calcium normally found inside the human food chain. There are also several safety issues, as some of the natural components of coral are toxic to humans.</p>
<p>Coral calcium is sourced from coral reefs. If sourced from living coral reefs, this poses a huge problem to the eco-system, as the world’s coral reefs contribute greatly to the earth’s well being in many aspects, from providing shorelines with protection by breaking waves, to regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.</p>
<p><strong>Q. Is the best time to take calcium before sleeping or with food?</strong></p>
<p>A. Calcium absorption is influenced by many factors, varying from one person (or even one day) to the next. If conditions are correct, calcium can be well absorbed both when taken with food and at bedtime. Nevertheless, there are a few general guidelines that may be helpful to ensure maximum calcium uptake by the body. First and foremost, the body must have sufficient levels of vitamin D in order to absorb calcium. Although vitamin D need not be taken in conjunction with calcium, a vitamin D deficiency will greatly diminish calcium absorption. GNLD also recommends taking calcium supplements (as with all of GNLD’s supplements) with meals, in small doses throughout the day, to better ensure maximum absorption. Studies have demonstrated that if large amounts of supplemental calcium are ingested in a single dose, the percentage of actual absorption by the body greatly diminishes. Therefore, it would be beneficial to take calcium supplements in small increments throughout the day.</p>
<p>Several factors can also interfere with calcium absorption. Certain foods containing oxalic acid such as spinach and Swiss chard can inhibit calcium absorption by binding with calcium and forming an insoluble compound. A diet high in saturated fat can also affect absorption. Fat binds with calcium and forms insoluble soaps. This process known as &#8220;saponification&#8221; also renders calcium insoluble; it is simply excreted through the digestive tract. Consequently, while there is no specific advantage to calcium absorption while sleeping, bedtime supplementation is a good way to avoid food combinations that may limit calcium absorption.</p>
<p>Lastly, some people who suffer from night leg cramps find taking calcium at bedtime relieves that problem. GNLD Calcium supplements are perfect for that use as well. </p>
<p>Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.<br />

&nbsp;<br />
<font size="5" face="Georgia">T</font>here’s more to nutrition than just vitamins and minerals. As important as these nutrients are to optimal health, others play equally important roles. Original and unique, <strong>GNLD’s Formula IV</strong> is more than just a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. It’s the first multi-factor food supplement to provide <a align="left"  href="http://neo-life.com/nutr-facts/3100.png"><img align="left"  src="http://neo-life.com/nutr-facts/nut_th.gif"></a>vitamins and related food factors, minerals, protein, and enzymes, as well as lipids and sterols. </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Q. How did GNLD come up with the balance of nutrients in Formula IV® and Formula IV® Plus? What is the rationale for the mix of ingredients? </strong></p>
<p>A. Formula IV and Formula IV Plus are not just your average vitamin and mineral supplements; they&#8217;re multi-factor food supplements, designed formulated to feed the cells of your body. </p>
<p>When we first introduced Formula IV, it was originally intended to help fill in the nutritional gaps that can occur with the diets of everyday people. Today this basic premise still holds true; the times have changed, but our bodies are still biologically the same. As a matter of fact, the mix of nutrients contained within Formula IV, and our newer Formula IV Plus, is more valid today than ever before. Our contemporary lifestyle and dietary habits have created a greater need for the exact nutrients that are found in these two products. We have known from the beginning that Formula IV includes those nutrients that are beneficial to achieving optimum health, and it is truly in a class all its own. This holds true for Formula IV Plus, as well. Moreover, consuming Formula IV and Formula IV Plus really is more similar to eating food than simply taking a multi-vitamin supplement. </p>
<p>Unlike multi-vitamin products that often provide &#8220;megadoses&#8221; of certain nutrients, Formula IV and Formula IV Plus provide a balance of nutrients that is considered optimal for the vast majority of people. For those individuals who desire specific combinations of certain nutrients, we offer a wide variety of products to meet each individual&#8217;s unique needs; a perfect example would be our Daily Vitality Packs, which utilize Formula IV Plus as their core supplement. </p>
<p>At the foundation of Formula IV and Formula IV Plus is our exclusive Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates. The Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates contained within these two products help to support the body in its utilization of nutrients critical to sustain health and vitality. Lipids and sterols are the building blocks for every cell membrane in the human body. Sterols are a class of lipids which include precursors of certain hormones and precursors of vitamin D produced naturally in the body. Without properly balanced lipid/sterol levels, cells can become malnourished, which can lead to cellular fatigue. Sterols and lipids also play a vital role in the assimilation of nutrients by the cell.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. Why aren&#8217;t the minerals in Formula IV or Formula IV Plus chelated?</strong> </p>
<p>A. Time tested and proven to be effective and highly bioavailable, Formula IV and Formula IV Plus were developed as multi-factor whole food supplements, with Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates, to support optimal cellular nutrition. These GNLD exclusives have remained unchanged. Chelation mineral technology came after Formula IV&#8217;s introduction, however since both Formula IV and Formula IV Plus have a long history of effectiveness in supporting optimal health through cellular nutrition, we have no need or desire to change them.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. Is there any gamma linolenic acid in Formula IV or Formula IV Plus? </strong></p>
<p>A. Formula IV and Formula IV Plus contain linoleic acid which can be converted to gamma-linolenic acid by the body during metabolism. GNLD does not add gamma-linolenic acid to any of our products, including Formula IV and Formula IV Plus. The body will naturally produce gamma-linolenic acid from linoleic acid, an important component of Formula IV and Formula IV Plus.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. What makes Formula IV green? </strong></p>
<p>A. The green color in Formula IV is derived from the natural vegetable pigment, chlorophyll.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. What information do we have on the initial studies done on Formula IV? Was it a government grant study? </strong></p>
<p>A. The research that eventually led to the development of Formula IV began in 1946 at a hospital in Southern California. The focus of the research was on the relationship of endocrine function to reports of chronic fatigue. The results of many studies led researchers to the role of lipids in cell function; and that in turn led to the development of Tre-en-en Concentrates. Formula IV was developed as a multi-factor nutritional supplement, designed to work with the lipids and sterols provided by Tre-en-en. Now the cornerstone of our “Energy Program,” Formula IV (and now also Formula IV Plus) have been credited with giving literally thousands of consumers more energy, vitality, and a general feeling of health and wellness!<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. I read somewhere that it is not good to take iron in a multi-supplement formula. If this is true, then why is iron in Formula IV? </strong></p>
<p>A. We’re not sure why anyone would have stated that iron should not be part of a multivitamin supplement. Iron-deficient diets are still widespread in our population and anemia remains a common health concern. For this reason, Formula IV was formulated to contain a sufficient amount of iron to assure that an adequate and healthy amount of this nutrient is supplied through supplementation. Additionally, Formula IV has been specifically formulated to maximize digestion and absorption of iron. If you are concerned about iron intake and would like an iron-free option, consider Formula IV Plus for your supplementation needs.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. What are the sources for all the ingredients in Formula IV and Formula IV Plus? </strong></p>
<p>A. Formula IV and Formula IV Plus are not just vitamin and mineral supplements; they are multi-factor food supplements, chock-full of whole food ingredients. Besides containing many of the important vitamins and minerals missing from our diets, they also contain our exclusive Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates. Tre-en-en is the largest component of Formula IV and Formula IV Plus, and the sources are listed on the label, as are many of the other sources of the nutrients used in these products. For example, fish liver oil, the source of vitamin A and vitamin D, is on the Formula IV label. Our approach to product formulation is to always look first to nature for 100% natural, whole food ingredients from the human food chain. Because some natural ingredients are weak, unstable, or unavailable, for some products we next look to natural concentrates or isolates to achieve our formulation goals. Lastly, if the two previous steps don’t deliver the effect we need, then we will select additional pure pharmaceutical-grade ingredients from a list of safe, low-allergy components. These are components which been shown by research to function effectively, providing superior bioavailabilty and overall nutritional excellence. This approach allows us to keep consistent with both nature’s blueprint and the latest scientific nutritional research. It is this approach to excellence that has contributed to GNLD’s distinction and success in the nutrition industry.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. Would the yeast in Formula IV and Formula IV Plus affect people with yeast allergies?</strong> </p>
<p>A. GNLD uses the unique whole-food source of yeast known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in Formula IV and Formula IV Plus. This special strain of yeast is “biologically bound” and highly concentrated in B-vitamins and other natural nutritional cofactors. This biologically bound yeast is grown specifically for nutritional application, and through a special process of growing, harvesting, and drying, a naturally high-potency B-vitamin source material is obtained. This is not a living yeast but rather (like the other food-based components in our nutritional products) it is an organic nutrient source that has been harvested and dried. And, as you may be aware, yeast has a long history of safe use, and has been used for decades by people as a source of supplemental nutrition.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q. What are Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates? </strong></p>
<p>A. At the foundation of Formula IV and Formula IV Plus is Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates. This unique and exclusive whole-food blend of extracts from wheat, rice, and soy &#8220;feeds your cells&#8221; with important phytonutrients. Developed and introduced by GNLD in 1958, Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates is the original phytonutrient supplement. It provides phyto-lipids, including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids essential for optimum health and cellular function, plus the plant sterols beta-sitosterol, gamma-oryzanol, stimasterol and campesterol. </p>
<p>Besides optimizing cellular nutrition, plant sterols may have other beneficial effects as well. These include reducing cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of atheroscelerosis and inhibiting tumors. Octacosanol, which is a closely related component, is also included to aid in critical biological functions. </p>
<hr />
WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. </p>
<p>Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.<br />

<img align="right" src="http://neo-life.com/categories/product_120/3340.jpg"><font size="5" face="Georgia">N</font>ature’s “master antioxidant” and an essential nutrient, vitamin E supports overall health and vitality. Research especially links higher vitamin E levels with strengthened immunity and cardiovascular health. GNLD’s Vitamin E Plus is more than just alpha-tocopherol: It provides balanced ratios of the entire vitamin E family of tocopherols and tocotrienols as they exist in whole foods. Its water-miscible foundation is pure, cold-pressed wheat germ oil with lecithin, a natural emulsifier. <a href="http://neo-life.com/nutr/3340.png"><img align="left" src="http://neo-life.com/facts/nut_th.gif"></a></p>
<p><strong>Delivers entire E family.</strong> All eight members of the powerful vitamin E family: all four tocopherols and all four tocotrienols in nature’s balanced ratios for more complete protection than just alpha-tocopherol alone.*<br />
100% food-sourced with premium wheat germ oil and soy oil. Pure, cold-pressed and unrefined wheat germ oil, plus a high-potency soybean extract and natural alpha-tocopherol concentrate, provide the ultimate whole-food vitamin E. <span id="more-277"></span></p>
<p><strong>Natural, not synthetic</strong>. Natural vitamin E has twice the potency of lower-cost, petrochemical-based synthetic forms. Studies show that given the choice between natural or synthetic vitamin E, the body — especially the cardiovascular system and major organs — preferentially takes up natural E!*</p>
<p><strong>High potency</strong>. Power-packed formula delivers 275 IU of natural alpha tocopherol, plus 50 mg of beta, gamma and delta tocopherols, and the complete spectrum of natural trace tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) in every capsule!</p>
<p><strong>Water-miscible technology</strong>, exclusively from GNLD, quickly disperses fat-soluble vitamin E nutrients into small, easily-absorbed particles! This unique system includes apple pectin and lecithin to enhance nutrient absorption.*</p>
<p><strong>Bioavailable tocopherols</strong>. The whole-food-sourced tocopherols in exclusive Vitamin E Plus exist in the lipid format that’s easiest for your body to digest, assimilate and utilize!</p>
<p><strong>Laboratory validated for purity and potency.</strong></p>
<hr color="#cccccc" size="1">
<p><b>Q. What is the exact amount of each tocopherol and tocotrienol in Vitamin E Plus?</b><br />
A. Vitamin E Plus contains 275 IUs of d-alpha tocopherols, and 50 mgs of the beta, gamma and delta tocopherols (non-alpha tocopherols), plus alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocotrienols, all in naturally-occurring ratios. GNLD has gone to great lengths to assure that the ratios found in nature are represented in our products. However, the exact amount of each component is considered proprietary information.</p>
<p><b>Q. The body uses bile salts to emulsify vitamin E. Why would GNLD’s water-miscible formula be needed?</b><br />
A. While it’s true that once in the body, vitamin E can be utilized and dispersed by existing mechanisms. However, that does not diminish the viability of the water-miscibility concept. The water-miscibility function of GNLD’s Vitamin E Plus enables the absorption of vitamin E to be more efficient and complete. Our water-miscibility feature supports the body’s natural absorption mechanism and facilitates greater vitamin E uptake. Water-miscible vitamins enter the colon with greater dispersion throughout the digestive tract. Also, as people age, many are not as efficient at digesting fats, which may further reduce the absorbability of vitamin E, making the water-miscible formula of Vitamin E Plus a big advantage.</p>
<p><b>Q. Vitamin E Plus isn’t the only water-miscible formula on the market. So what other advantages does it have?</b><br />
A. Although Vitamin E Plus is not the only vitamin E product on the market with a water-miscible feature, ours is unique in that it delivers the complete vitamin E family in conjunction with our water-miscibility. You would find it difficult to locate another company that offers a natural-source vitamin E product that includes all of the tocopherols and all of the tocotrienols in conjunction with a unique water-miscibility system. GNLD prides itself in delivering only the finest nutritional supplements available, and our Vitamin E Plus is just another example of the quality that makes up the GNLD difference.</p>
<p><b>Q. Is Vitamin E Plus alcohol-free?</b><br />
A. Yes, Vitamin E Plus is alcohol-free.</p>
<p><b>Q. Is it okay to take Vitamin E along with blood thinners prescribed by a doctor?</b><br />
A. Your physician should always be advised of any nutritional supplementation being taken before you or your customers begin to take any prescribed medication; Megadoses of vitamin E have been shown to increase the effects of anticoagulants. It is best to check with the prescribing doctor for specification of any nutritional supplements that might be acceptable while taking a blood thinning medication.</p>
<p><b>Q. Why doesn’t GNLD use wheat germ oil exclusively as the source for vitamin E in Vitamin E Plus?</b><br />
A. The main ingredient in Vitamin E Plus is pure, unrefined wheat germ oil. However, if we used wheat germ oil alone, we could not achieve as high a level of vitamin E delivery. Therefore, we enrich the oil with a natural vitamin E complex from soybeans. This assures us of the complete vitamin E family of wheat germ oil plus the benefits of high natural vitamin E potency.</p>
<p><b>Q. Why does Vitamin E Plus provide 916% of the U.S. RDA? Is it safe to take so much vitamin E every day?</b><br />
A. The U.S. RDA for vitamin E supplementation is solely based upon prevention of deficiency disease. However, we now know that vitamin E also has a strengthening effect upon the immune system and provides a powerful antioxidant function in the body, these factors to date have not been included in the U.S. RDA level for minimum adequate daily vitamin E intake. The potency of Vitamin E Plus addresses these additional health concerns in an effort to achieve an optimal level of this vital nutrient.</p>
<p>Research has shown that very high levels of vitamin E can be ingested every day for very long periods of time without any toxic symptoms. Nevertheless, we recommend that Vitamin E Plus be taken according to label directions.</p>
<p><b>Q. Will a diabetic person experience any negative effects when supplementing with Vitamin E Plus?</b><br />
A. Supplementation with Vitamin E Plus will not be harmful to a diabetic. In fact, research has shown that vitamin E provides great benefits to diabetics. A balanced diet, abundant in vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional factors is essential to good health. However, diabetes is a serious medical condition for which, unfortunately, there is no known cure. Treatment requires a very carefully controlled diet, and for some patients, insulin injections. Because of the need for careful dietary control, your diabetic customers should discuss supplementation choices with their physician.</p>
<p><b>Q. Exactly how much apple pectin and lecithin is needed to make the miscibility in Vitamin E Plus work? I’m sensitive to these ingredients.</b><br />
A. Since our water-miscible system is unique, we cannot disclose the amounts of lecithin and apple pectin contained within our product. But, we can tell you that you would find more lecithin in an egg yolk or a serving of corn than in a single capsule of Vitamin E Plus. With regard to pectin, a single capsule provides less pectin than what you would find in a quarter slice of apple.</p>
<p><b>Q. Why is GNLD’s Vitamin E Plus only 275 IU per capsule when the industry standard seems to be 400 IU?</b><br />
A. Many manufactures who sell larger capsules often use a synthetic (which may be inferior in bioavailability) variety of vitamin E. Manufacturers are also required to list only the amount of alpha-tocopherol in their vitamin E products. GNLD gives you 275 IU of alpha-tocopherol, plus 50 mg of non-alpha tocopherols and tocotrienols (which include beta-, gamma-, and delta-compounds of each). All of these are derived from a natural, highly bioavailable source. For GNLD to offer 400 IU of alpha-tocopherol along with the additional tocopherols and tocotrienols in a natural form, the capsule would be much too large to swallow. In this case, less actually equals more! </p>

<p><strong>TRE-EN-EN FOR CELLULAR EFFICIENCY </strong></p>
<p>Our bodies are composed of trillions of cells which must work efficiently if we are to stay healthy. How do cells stay healthy? The key is their membranes. Like bodies, cells must take in nutrients and eliminate wastes. Every cell in the body is surrounded by a lipid membrane with the discretionary power to allow only needed nutrients to enter the cell. By the same token, it allows only waste material and metabolic products (hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, etc.) to exit. Deficiencies of lipids, sterols, and amino acids can compromise the discretionary power of cells. Cells can become “starved” (inhibited in their ability to take in substances) even though nutrients are available. And they can become “constipated” (inhibited in their ability to eliminate accumulating waste products or export metabolites). Under these conditions, cells work inefficiently, expending more energy than healthy cells would to get the same results. </p>
<p>Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates supply essential lipids and sterols to promote the efficient functioning of cells, glandular systems, and the entire body. Remember, we are only as healthy as our cells, and Tre-en-en strengthens the lipid/sterol “link” in our “Chain of Life,” supporting cellular health and vitality. </p>
<p><strong>PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN LABORATORY TESTS</strong> Scientists have known for years that lipids and sterols are required for normal cellular functioning, glandular activity, and overall growth and development. A series of studies conducted at Texas A&amp;M University in 1987 confirmed the nutritional benefits of Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates (lipids and sterols from wheat, rice, and soybeans). The seven-week studies looked at growth, development, maturation, and glandular activity of young rats fed either a standard control diet (laboratory chow fortified with vitamins and minerals) or the standard diet with Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates substituted for the lipids used in the standard chow. Animals were allowed to eat as much as they wanted; both chows had the same caloric content. (All tests were performed and all animals were housed and cared for with the highest level of concern for the health and well being of the animals. No animals were exposed to conditions of pain or suffering.) </p>
<p>When the amount of food consumed was correlated with the amount of weight the rats gained, the researchers found that the Tre-en-en-fed animals displayed superior growth and development, indicating that their bodies made better use of the available nutrients. In all cases the Tre-en-en-fed group grew faster, achieved maturity faster, and had better overall development than the group that was fed the control diet. In addition, the cardiovascular systems of the Tre-en-en-fed group were better developed, and their adrenal activity — an indicator of their energy levels and ability to respond to stress — was greater. </p>
<p><img src="http://gnld.neo-life.com/imgs/overall.jpg"> </p>
<p><strong>OVERALL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT</strong> Animals fed diets fortified with Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates attained a greater level of overall growth and development than did animals fed a control diet. </p>
<p><img src="http://gnld.neo-life.com/imgs/cardio.jpg"> </p>
<p><strong>CARDIOVASCULAR DEVELOPMENT</strong> Animals on the Tre-en-en diet displayed greater cardiovascular development than did animals fed the control diet. Cardiovascular development (measured by heart weight) paralleled overall growth and development, indicating that larger animals were not “fatter” but instead were more fully developed. </p>
<p><img src="http://gnld.neo-life.com/imgs/nutrient.jpg"> </p>
<p><strong>NUTRIENT UTILIZATION EFFICIENCY</strong> Compared to animals on a control diet, the animals fed Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates demonstrated superior growth, development, and maturation, even though each test group consumed the same amount of calories. This result indicates that the Tre-en-en-fed animals utilized nutrients from food more efficiently than did control animals. </p>
<p><img src="http://gnld.neo-life.com/imgs/gland.jpg"> </p>
<p><strong>GLANDULAR ACTIVITY</strong> Glandular activity (as measured by liver glycogen levels) was almost twice as high in the Tre-en-en-fed rats compared to the control animals. This result indicates that the Tre-en-en-fed animals had higher energy levels and were better prepared to handle stress. Unique and exclusively available from GNLD, Tre-en-en provides lipids and sterols cells need to be their healthy best! With cold-pressed, cold-processed extracts and concentrates from wheat germ, rice bran, and soybeans, Tre-en-en helps assure good nutrition at the cellular level.</p>
