NT Factor

British Journal Nature Calls Sugar a Poison

NTI — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:16:15 +0000

The United Nations affirmed this past September that chronic non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes are of greater health concern than infectious diseases. The UN’s announcement specifically addresses the dangers of tobacco products, alcohol and poor diet as risk factors for non-communicable disease. Alcohol and tobacco products are currently regulated by governments to protect public health; will they intervene with food as well? It is argued that fructose, fruit sugar, exerts similar toxic effects on the liver as alcohol, which is a byproduct of the fermentation of sugar. There have been studies that show that the excess consumption of sugar can lead to cancer and cognitive decline.

Some countries are already taking steps to regulate the consumption of foods that are harmful to our bodies. In 2011 Denmark began taxing foods high in saturated fats, and now they consider taxing sugar as a means to reduce obesity and increase the overall health of their population.

Sugar affects the brain similarly to the addictive properties of tobacco and alcohol, it’s properties encourage the brain to crave additional intake. It also affects certain hormones that control hunger and can lead to over eating. Excess consumption of fructose can lead to the same health problems as alcohol consumption: hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, pancreatitis, obesity, malnutrition, hepatic dysfunction and habituation. A little sugar is not the problem, but The United Nations is rightfully concerned with the dangers of excess sugar consumption as it has tripled worldwide over the last 50 years. Today, people are consuming an average of 500 calories per day just from added sugar! Countries that have adopted the low-cost, high processed diet common in Western cultures have seen the consequences with rising obesity and obesity related disease rates; there are 30% more obese people in the world today than the number of undernourished people. When this excess sugar consumption is combined with the natural degradation of our bodies due to the aging process, damage is caused to our lipids, proteins and DNA furthering the risk of developing disease.

Obesity is not the cause of disease, normal weight individuals are also affected, but obesity is a risk factor for diseases that constitute metabolic syndrome; diabetes, hypertension, lipid problems, cardiovascular disease and fatty liver disease. There are long-term economic and health-care costs associated with metabolic syndrome; in the United States $65 billion is cost in lost productivity and $150 billion is spent on health care resources from metabolic syndrome and its associated disease.

Sugar is natural, a nutrient and pleasure but too much of a good thing can be toxic. Both alcohol and tobacco are regulated from the supply side through taxation, age restrictions and distribution controls. These methods have been successful for reducing these substances’ abuse and related health concerns. Can this work for sugar? Currently, education based programs in schools have had little effect on limiting the consumption of sugars. Proposals are being made by different health organizations to tax certain foods that are highly processed or contain certain added sugars. Strategies to limit availability of the harmful foods are also being considered, such as regulating the hours of operation for retailers, implementing age restrictions for purchase and limiting the density of retail outlets that sell the products. There has also been a push to remove commercials from television for products with added sugars and replace them with healthy food promotions. Many schools have implemented their own policies for regulating sugar consumption; removing candy and soda from vending machines.

The US Food and Drug Administration has the power to start a healthy revolution, but it is also up to the food producers, manufacturers and distributors to limit the amount of added sugar in foods. However, your health should be one on your highest priorities. Be conscious of your eating habits and food choices, educate yourself on the dangers on excess sugar consumption and pass along the information.

Risk Factors and Prevention Methods for Metabolic Syndrome

NTI — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:30:45 +0000

Metabolic Syndrome affects 22% of the population and is associated with other disturbances of glucose and lipid metabolism, such as; Type 2 Diabetes, Vascular Inflammation, Arthrosclerosis as well as fatiguing illnesses that create excess oxidative stress. Oxidative damage results in a decrease in efficiency of the mitochondria’s ability to produce energy and the cell membranes ability to protect energy creation and transfer, causing fatigue, damaging our DNA and furthering the progress of degenerative diseases. Major risk factors of MS include; abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, lipid dysfunction and high blood pressure. When insulin levels in your body are not sufficient to monitor glucose and amino acid concentration, insulin resistance occurs. Insulin resistance is the primary cause of MS and its associated diseases. The ability to metabolize fats is diminished if insulin levels are insufficient causing glycerol and free fatty acids can accumulate in tissues.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to insulin resistance, which results in a reduction of glucose utilization causing cell dysfunction. Cell dysfunction reduces electron transport chain activity and energy production and increases free radical levels resulting in further cell membrane damage and fatigue. When mitochondria function at optimal levels the amount of oxidative molecules produced as a by-product of energy production are neutralized by naturally occurring intracellular antioxidants. Unfortunately, in Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes, excess free radicals are produced in excess of antioxidants, and damage is caused to our cells and mitochondria by lipid peroxides produced when free radicals attack fatty acids. Fatty acids are especially susceptible to free radicals, those who are obese, insulin resistant and pre-diabetic have higher concentrations of fatty acids resulting in progressive damage to their cells even before they are diagnosed with a glucose related disease.

Fatigue is a common condition in those diagnosed with MS, Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease and is related to the decreased efficiency of mitochondrial energy production caused by oxidative damage. Mitochondria can also be affected by disease, infection and the natural progression of aging that all create excess oxidative damage that exceed our body’s natural ability to neutralize. The degradation of cell and mitochondrial membranes causes premature aging that manifests physically as fatigue. Preventing damage to cellular and mitochondrial membranes is important to maintaining energy production, electron transport activity and energy transfer.

Arthrosclerosis is thought to begin with abnormalities in lipoprotein subclasses which are highly susceptible to oxidation, and involves chronic inflammatory damage to blood vessels due to lipid accumulation, inflammatory response, vessel cell death and thrombosis which can result in heart damage. Arthrosclerosis is the leading cause of Cardiovascular Disease and strokes; when oxidized lipoproteins interact with blood vessel walls plaques are created that when broken off occlude the blood vessels in the heart.

In MS associated diseases, supplementations has been used with antioxidants and vitamins such as; Vitamins C, E, A and CoQ10, to neutralize free radicals and inhibit the progression of the disease. However, antioxidants cannot repair the damage already done to our membrane lipids. Lipid Replacement Therapy can reverse oxidative damage done to our cells and mitochondria and can restore energy product, electron transport activity and energy transfer. Combining LRT with antioxidants repairs the damage done by excess free radicals, restores cell function and prevents further damage.

In clinical studies, LRT has been used in combination with the complete nutritional system in Propax with NT Factor that includes healthy lipids to repair cell and mitochondrial membranes, antioxidants to neutralize free radicals, healthy bacteria to create an optimal environment for the healthy lipids and restore healthy intestinal flora levels as well as other essential vitamins, minerals and omegas to support overall health. Propax with NT Factor has shown to reduce the fatigue, the physical side effect of cell degradation, by up to 40% in 8 weeks.

Increase Your Health and Restore Energy Levels

NTI — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:46:15 +0000

Propax Gold with NT Factor is a complete food based nutritional system that contains; vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, healthy bacteria and glycophospholipids. Vitamins and minerals support your overall health and function of your body systems, antioxidants neutralize the damaging chemical reactions produced by free radicals and the unique blend of glycophospholipids repair the damage to your cells caused by free radicals. Poor nutritional choices and environmental stress leads our bodies to require more nutrition than our daily diets can provide. As we age, toxins build up in our bodies and our systems are degraded from a variety of factors. Healthy diet combined with regular exercise and quality nutritional supplements can increase your overall health and energy levels and extend your youth.

Antioxidants product your body against the oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are by-products of naturals reactions that occur within your body that utilize oxygen, such as the reaction between oxygen and the foods you eat which produces energy usable by your body. Free radicals can also be generated from reactions with environmental toxins, such as air pollution and smoke, and the natural progression of aging. Free radicals attack the lipids in cell membranes and degrade their ability to produce and transfer energy to the rest of your body. When cells are degraded, is can manifest as the physical symptom of fatigue, fatigue is the most common symptom of patients seeking general medical advice. Fatigue is described as an overall lack of energy and the inability to perform daily activities without exertion; it becomes chronic when energy levels cannot be restored by normal sleep patterns.

The proprietary blend of NT Factor containing lipids, antioxidants, healthy bacteria and growth media has proven successful in repairing optimal cell function and restoring energy. When the lipids in your cell membranes are damaged by free radicals, your cells cannot function properly and are unable to produce and transfer energy for your body systems. NT Factor creates a optimal environment for healthy lipids to reach damaged cell membranes. Once healthy lipids have been absorbed by the cells energy product and transfer is restored and fatigue is reduced.

The Power of NT Factor

NTI — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:54:07 +0000

Nutritional Therapeutics products contain our powerful fatigue fighting formula, NT Factor. Fatigue can be a by-product of a variety of health issues, including; allergies, being overweight or obese and joint inflammation. When a part of your body, or a body system, is under stress the rest of your body is affected. NT Factor replaces damaged lipids in your cell membranes through Lipid Replacement Therapy, restoring optimal functionality to the cell.

Breathe Clear and Reducew Fatigue

When your Immune System is working overtime to initiate an allergic response to fight off the allergens attacking your system, you can become fatigued as a result. Your immune system is using its resources to fight the allergies, putting additional stress on the rest of the body’s cells. Allergens can also attack healthy cells and cause inflammation which can cause degradation of your cell membranes. Breathe Clear with NT Factor helps to build your body’s immune response to allergies, reduces inflammation and decreases your allergy related fatigue through Lipid Replacement Therapy.

Relief From Inflammation!

Joint pain is commonly caused by inflammation of your cells. Inflammation puts stress on your cells and can degrade them causing fatigue.

Degenerative Brain Diseases Can Start as Early as Age 45!

NTI — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 00:50:40 +0000

It had been previously thought that degenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, did not begin until at least age 60. However, a 10 year study conducted on more than 7,000 participants has shown that memory loss and a decrease in comprehension and reasoning can start as early as age 45. Participants had their cognition tested multiple times over the 10 year period to track the level of brain function, results of the study have brought greater attention to addressing brain disease at an early age. Paticipants between ages 45 and 49 lost an average of 3.6% of mental reasoning over the ten year period. Degeneration was shown at greater levels with older participants; men ages 65-70 lost an average of 9.6% of mental reasoning skills and 7.4% for women in the same age group. The youngest member of the study was 45 years old, meaning that deterioration of the brain may begin even earlier.

Our Message to You: Don’t wait until the harmful side effects of aging become noticeable, fight brain disease before it starts!

As you age, your brain shrinks causing a decrease in brain function; shrinkage occurs when cells are damaged, can no longer function at optimal levels or die. This damage can occur from poor diet, environmental stress, toxins, and the natural progression of aging. Deterioration is exacerbated as more cells are damaged and put additional stress on healthy cells that will soon become deteriorated. Lipid Replacement Therapy is a proven method for replacing the damaged lipids with healthy ones in the cell membranes that are responsible for protecting the processes that occur within the cell. When the cell membrane is full of healthy lipids, the cell can function at an optimal level, provide sufficent energy for your body and help minimize brain shrinkage from dead cells. NT Factor is a revolutionary formula scientifically proven to provide healthy lipids to your cells. NT Factor is a safe, food and food extract based formula that can successfully fight the deterioration of your cells from oxidation, aging and environmental stress.

An Oregon Brain and Aging Study, recently published by the journal Neurology, reports that Vitamins B, C, D, E and Omegas have also been shown to combat Alzheimer’s Disease. Wouldn’t it be great to get all these vitamins and NT Factor in one product? Nutritional Therapeutics manufactures a product called Propax Gold with NT Factor. The daily packet contains all the vitamins discussed above, including omegas and NT Factor as well as the added benefits of antioxidants. Antioxidants can neutralize oxidative factors that can cause cell membranes to degrade and can increase the benefits of Lipid Replacement Therapy by reducing the potential harm to the cell membranes.

Propax Gold with NT Factor also has additional benefits! NT Factor, through Lipid Replacement Therapy, has been clinically proven to reduce chronic fatigue up to 40%! Combat brain deterioration, get your daily dose of vitamins, minerals and omegas and gain energy all in one packet!

60-Day Trial on Healthy Curb with NT Factor Proves Weight Loss is Possible Without Diet and Exercise

Being overweight can also contribute to fatigue from the added stress and requirements of the body. Exercise and a healthy diet are usually the first recommendations for someone trying to lose weight, but it is not always the right course of action. If the additional pounds are contributing to fatigue, where can the energy needed for a quality work out come from? You can try to eat healthy but with your busy life how long will a new diet really last?
A study done on a unique product, Healthy Curb with NT Factor, proved that you can lose weight and increase your energy without a change in your diet or activity level. In the trial, Healthy Curb with NT Factor was taken by overweight individuals 30 minutes before each meal for a two month period. Over this time weight measurements were taken as well as BMI and BMR calculations. The study resulted in 63% of patients experiencing an average 6 pounds weight loss and inches lost off their waist and hips. Overall, participants lost a total of 3 pounds and also showed measurable inch loss in the same areas.
Body Mass Index is a measurement used to classify overweight and obese adults; a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters.

If your BMI is greater than or equal to 25 you are classified as overweight, greater than or equal to 30 you are classified as obese. Some special conditions are not taken into account and BMI should be measured by a health care practitioner if being used for medical reasons. Study participants saw a reduction in BMI by the second week and a continuation of this trend through the end of the study.
Calculate your BMI on the U.S Department of Health and Human Services Website: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of calories your body expends to maintain body functions while at rest. By training your body and metabolisms with regular eating habits, you can increase BMR and burn more calories even when your body is at rest. BMR began to increase from weeks two to four during the 60-day trial, and hit plateau at a healthy, sustainable level by week 8. BMR decreases with age making it harder to stay slim as you age without decreasing your caloric intake. Healthy Curb can decrease the body’s cravings for carbohydrates and sweets and curb your appétit, making it easier to prevent weight gain as you age.
Healthy Curb with NT Factor is a proven solution that can help curb your appetite, decrease your craving for carbohydrates, help you lose inches from your waist line, decrease your BMI and increase your BMR. Healthy eating habits and exercise are encouraged, but not necessary when using Healthy Curb.

The control of appetite and carbohydrates can be the key to any good weight management regimen. Healthy Curb® is the key. Healthy Curb® with NT Factor allows you to take control of your appetite, carbohydrate intake and absorption. Your body can work without the large cravings for carbohydrates most current diets inflict. Combined with NT Factor®, it also gives you the benefit of reducing fatigue, while increasing your cell membrane potential. Obesity and overweight affect up to one billion people worldwide according to the World Health Organization. Of those people, most face the complications associated with being overweight. These complications include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes Metabolic Syndrome and a variety of other chronic illnesses and conditions. Excess accumulation of body fat, a chronic imbalance between food consumption and energy expenditure, is reaching epidemic proportions. Strategies to lose body fat usually include a combination of limiting dietary caloric intake; increase in physical activity, behavioral therapy, drug therapy, and in extreme cases even surgery. Over the last several years, there has been an increase in the availability and popularity of weight loss dietary supplements. However, the jury is still out on the therapeutic effectiveness of many of them. Most are geared to the burning or blocking of fat cells. Most causes of obesity are not due to an over consumption of fat though. Rather the source is more often rapidly-absorbed carbohydrates.
