Korean Ginseng - 250 mg
Throughout ancient oriental history, Ginseng has been praised for its exceptional nutrition value. Modern nutrition researchers also regard Ginseng as a valuable herb because of its naturally proportioned wealth of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and co-enzymes.
Vitamin Power makes this potent herbal root available in convenient, easy-to-take 250 mg tablets.
REMEMBER:.If taking anti-depressants, ginseng products might cause manic episodes. If taking Coumadin (warfarin) ginseng might decrease its effect. Taking an influenza vacine, ginseng might help it work better.
Known to nutritional professionals as the "Calcium Helper", Boron plays a vital role in bone health because it assists Calcium absorption and utilization in the body.
REMEMBER: If receiving hormone-replacement therapy, use of boron may not be advisable due to the risk of elevating estrogen levels excessively.
L-Carnitine - 250 mg
Chromium Picolinate - 200 mcg
Chromium Picolinate is a potent, bioactve source of the essential trace mineral chromium.It plays a vital role in "sensitizing" the body's tissues to the hormone insulin, readily needed for the efficient metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein.
It also enhances glucose metabolism and in doing so, helps suppress cravings for sweet foods such as candy, cake, cookies, ice cream and soda.
Chromium Picolinate is clinically substantiated to address these important health concerns: Weight Management; Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol Levels; Carbohydrate and Sugar Metabolism; and, Cardiovascular Health.
REMEMBER: If taking antacids separate your chromium supplement and doses of antacids by 2 hours. If taking diabetes medications, seek medical supervision before taking a chromium supplement.
REMEMBER: If taking coumadin, do not take except on a physician's advice.
Supplementation of Creatine has been shown to extend peak athletic performance for longer periods during high intensity exercise. It helps shorten the time necessary for the body to generate replacement Creatine Phosphate, reducing muscle recovery time between high intensity activities.
Helps Rebuild Lean Muscle Mass
One of the problems associated with inactive (dystrophic) muscle is its depleted levels of Creatine. Supplemetation with Creatine enables the muscles to work harder during training and therapy to help rebuild itself to its normal state.
To Help Correct Creatine Deficiencies
Diesease or age-related Creatine deficiencies can be improved with the supplementation of Creatine Monohydrate, supportive to a more active, normal life style.

Chromium is Essential for Crucial Functions in the Body
Here's Up-To-Date Research Information for your Good Health . . .
The essential trace nutrient Chromium is a micro-mineral which interacts with insulin secreted by the pancreas to help reduce blood sugar, believed to play a role in controllng type 2 diabetes. When Chromium enhances the action of insulin, a hormone-like substance, it helps control blood sugar. (Elevated blood sugar and insulin are two of the key indicators of diabetes.) With more than 18 million people in the United States who now suffer with diabetes, this growing health threat must be addressed. Proper dietary nutrient intake is critical.
Researchers believe that giving Chromium along with Biotin (B-Complex factor) to diabetics greatly improves blood sugar levels and reduces health risks.
A study in China found that diabetics given 1000 mcg of Chromium Picolinate per day had lower blood sugar levels, better glucose tolerance, less circulating insulin and reduced serum cholesterol after taking the supplements for 60 days (Diabetes vol 45, p. 124A, abstract no. 454, 1996). The researchers in the Chinese study also concluded that Americans might need greater amounts of Chromium to help alleviate diabetic problems. The American diet is heavier in sugar and fat and therefore more demanding on the body's Chromium supplies.
Chromium is also known to aid the physiological functions that limit cholesterol while boosting the growth of muscle mass and helping eliminate body fat.Chromium increases the body fat reduction process. The fat reducing role is believed to stem from the fact that insulin encourages the transportation of fat from blood into fat cells. Consequently, Chromium boosts the effectiveness of insulin, less insulin is secreted and less fat is deposited.
The most common dietary sources of Chromium are legumes (beans, peas, etc.) and mushrooms, as well as brewer's yeast, raisins and shellfish.
Despite the importance of Chromium for insulin function in the body and the growing incidence of diabetes, Americans typically consume too little of this important mineral. Chromium is one of the most important nutrients to supplement on a daily basis because nine out of ten Americans probably consume less than the recommended amounts (minimum 200 mcg daily).

USDA Study Shows Plant Sterols Lower Cholesterol...Take Good Health to Heart with Vegetables - Derived Phytosterols
People who already eat a low-fat diet to reduce cholesterol might lower it more by consuming a soybean extract with high levels of substances called plant sterols, according to preliminary new research, Agricultural Research Service. The research is preliminary but offers new evidence that soybean and other plant extracts containing sterols can increase the cholesterol lowering benefits of a healthy low-fat diet. People who want to reduce their cholesterol through diet may see better results by including low-fat foods having added sterols as part of their low-fat diet.
Researchers said cholesterol reductions nearly doubled in the study's men and women volunteers, when their low-fat diet included two daily servings (4 tablespoons total) of soybean sterols. The volunteers consumed the sterols 2.2 grams or about 1/2 teaspoon daily for three weeks of the six-week study.
The study was conducted at (ARS) Agricultural Research Service's Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center/ US Department of Agriculture.
Potential dietary benefits of plant sterols, including cholestorol reduction, have been studied for decades. The Beltsville study was unique in examining plant sterols as an ingredient in low-fat foods and as part of a tightly controlled low-fat diet. Most studies have looked at sterol effects in higher fat foods.
The soybean extracts used in the study are compounds known as sterol esters. Their molecular structure is similar to cholesterol. Researchers said sterol esters most likely lowered the volunteers' cholosterol by limiting its intestinal absorption.
The volunteers began the study with their levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol in the mildly elevated range. For six weeks they ate all their meals at the Beltsville center. For three of those weeks, their daily diet included 2.2 grams of soybean sterols as an ingredient in salad dressing. On the low-fat diet alone, without plant sterols, the volunteers' total and "bad" cholesterol levels dropped 7.3 and 8.4 percent, respectively. With the sterols, the reductions were nearly double: 14.1 and 18.2 percent. Not surprisingly, the volunteers' levels of good (HDL) cholesterol stayed the same.
Overall fat intake in the study amounted to 32 percent of total calories. A 36 percent fat diet is about the average for American adults. It is important to distinguish between healthful good fats and unhealthy saturated fats.
Curiously, 10 percent of the volunteers lowered their cholesterol only during the part of the study that included sterol esters. "Many people with high cholesterol," the leading researcher noted, "do not respond to a low-fat diet alone and rely on prescription cholesterol-lowering drugs. The key question is, could dietary plant sterols also help these kinds of people?"
Researchers conducted the study with the Diet and Human Performance Laboratory; including the chemist who lead the center's Phytonutrients Laboratory; and other scientists who specialize in plant derived nutrition.
The sterols used in the study already occur, in low concentrations, in many raw and refined vegetable-based foods including vegetable oils. A typical American diet provides approximately 0.25 g of plant sterol per day. It would be impractical to try to consume 2.2 grams a day of sterols from refined oils or other foods.
