1. Develop a Relationship with God
Dear Members,
A
Michael R. Ellison
I am so enthused to read the many testimonials of how Nopalea is making such a difference in our Members' lives. Yes, truly remarkable testimonies.
Chronic inflammation is now recognized as our #1 health risk. It is the foundational issue not only of most all of the common but also of today’s most life-threatening diseases.
Chronic inflammation is the robber of your health and wealth.
But, I am reminded of the scriptures that God declared to the human race in the beginning. In Genesis 1:28-31, God blessed them and gave them dominion. He gave them plants for food, and everything He had created was very good.
2. Give and Receive Love
3. Be Forgiving 4. Practice Gratitude 5. Develop Acceptance
You were created to have dominion. Created to be fruitful and multiply. God also said, "I am the LORD that healeth you!" You can conquer and take dominion over chronic inflammation.
From a science viewpoint, leading health institutes make the bold statement that you can manage and conquer chronic inflammation. They would not state that if they could not scientifically validate that claim.
I also know, when we discovered the Nopal cactus in the way it happened, Nopalea was and is a gift from God. The testimonials certainly declare that. Please read the features and testimonies about Nopalea on pages 4-13.
Drink Water
Physical Activity
Take your rightful stand and dominion! You can live with greater wellness by conquering the effects of chronic inflammation.
May this new year of 2025 be filled with more wellness and joyful living,
Michael R. Ellison Founder of TriVita

When asked by your doctor, “How are you feeling?” most people respond, “I feel fine.” But, are you really fine? Your actual health may not be as good as you think, because what’s really going on inside might just tell another story.
“The overall function of the immune system is to prevent or limit infection,” according to an article titled “Overview of the Immune System” published by the National Institutes of Health. It also states, “When the immune system first recognizes danger cue signals from the cells, it responds to address the problem.”
Inflammation is a function of the immune system, an essential survival mechanism that helps fight off harmful microbes and pathogens and repairs
damaged tissue. The National Institutes of Health states, “Chronic inflammation is not a specific disease, but it is a mechanistic process.” It is lingering or ongoing inflammation that weakens the body’s cells and tissues.
Today, health experts in organizations like Harvard Medical School, Cleveland Clinic, National Institutes of Health and many leading physician authors declare that chronic inflammation breeds a host of unwanted health conditions when it lingers and attacks healthy cells. Chronic inflammation that we may not be able to see or feel can be a dangerous silent killer.
“Most modern people are boiling pots of inflammation: hot, steaming, churning cauldrons of disordered, chaotic inflammatory responses, much of them due to food choices that perform poorly to human dietary needs.”
–William Davis M.D., Cardiologist and Author
A clinical study shows that Nopalea helps:
• Support the normal and essential antiinflammatory function performed by the immune system
• Less reliance on pain medication
• Improve joint mobility, range of motion and flexibility
• Lower elevated at-risk levels of C-Reactive Protein
• Reduce inflammation
Experts at Harvard Medical School confirm:
Unchecked chronic inflammation plays a central role in some of the most challenging diseases of our time, including rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, asthma and even Alzheimer’s.
There are two forms of inflammation
Acute inflammation is a normal and necessary process that allows the body to attack hostile invaders such as bacteria, fungi and other foreign substances anywhere in the body. Acute inflammation often comes on rapidly and subsides once the body has neutralized the threat and healed.
Common conditions that result in acute inflammatory reactions include:
• A sore throat related to a cold or flu
• Acute bronchitis
• Scratches or cuts to the skin
• Physical injury or trauma
Unlike acute inflammation, which is shortlived, chronic inflammation can linger, lasting months or even years after the initial threat. Chronic inflammation typically starts as an acute inflammatory response. However, when your body’s healing powers go into overdrive, chronic inflammation can occur. Alternatively, low levels of inflammation may be present even without the presence of an injury or illness. In this case, the
immune system launches an attack on healthy cells and tissues.
Inflammation is meant to serve its purpose and then resolve. When it fails to clear up, it begins to deplete the body of vital resources and sets the stage for further illness. Common causes of chronic inflammation include:
• Untreated causes of acute inflammation, such as an infection or injury
• Long-term exposure to irritants like polluted air, heavy metals, industrial chemicals and pesticides
• Autoimmune disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis (MS), in which your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue
• Many experts also believe that certain lifestyle choices can contribute to chronic inflammation, including smoking, chronic stress, alcohol use and obesity
CRP levels rise in response to inflammation. So, the more effective way to test for elevated inflammation is by testing for C-reactive protein (CRP). The liver produces CRP, and levels are measured through a simple blood test. Other common markers include erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and serum protein electrophoresis (SPE).
As touched on previously, in the last few decades, scientists have found inflammation to be a common factor in many chronic conditions afflicting Western populations. Inflammation is essential for health, but there is another side to this survival mechanism. Lifestyle choices such as diet, activity and sleep habits all can play a role in how chronic inflammation manifests. And, it’s fair to say that managing inflammation levels can contribute to health, healing and lifelong wellbeing.
For nearly seven decades we’ve been told that high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) caused by a diet high in fat puts us at risk for stroke and heart attack. Within the last few years, research has come forward proving a diet high in good fats has numerous health benefits. Today, medical professionals have validated evidence connecting chronic inflammation with cardiovascular diseases. In fact, Harvard Health Publishing challenges the myth around LDL cholesterol with research indicating that only half of people who suffer heart attacks have high levels of LDL cholesterol.
“Even though tests for cholesterol provide a lot of useful information, about half of heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels. Several studies have shown that, among people with normal cholesterol numbers, those with increased CRP levels have a several-fold higher risk for heart problems. Additional research has shown CRP to be a better predictor of cardiovascular events (heart attacks, strokes, bypass surgery or angioplasty) than other inflammatory markers.”
–Harvard Health Publishing
A malfunctioning immune system plays a role in both types 1 and 2 diabetes. However, type 2 diabetes is more common and occurs when cells become resistant to insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by cells in the pancreas that controls the amount of sugar in your blood. Increased
insulin resistance can prompt the release of chemicals that lead to inflammation.
Metabolic overload associated with metabolic syndrome can result in numerous reactions, such as inflammation and oxidative stress. When you gain too much weight and fat storage cells meet capacity, adipose tissue is no longer able to engulf the incoming fat. This leads to fat being deposited in other organs, mainly the liver. When this happens, the body tries to remove the excess fat by sending macrophages to clear it out, which triggers inflammatory responses, increasing your chances of developing chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease.
Cases of allergic inflammation are on the rise. In people with allergies, cells in the immune system become overly sensitive and may even respond to substances that aren’t harmful at all. Allergens bind to antibodies, triggering the release of histamine that results in an allergic reaction: sneezing, watery eyes, hives or rash, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.
Inflammatory bowel disease is an umbrella term that refers to disorders involving chronic inflammation of the digestive tract; these can include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. While the exact cause of IBD is still unknown, one possible reason is a malfunction of the immune system. When the immune system tries to fight off pathogens, it mistakenly attacks cells in the digestive tract as well, causing inflammation.

According to the World Health Organization, chronic inflammation-related diseases are your greatest health risk. Cardiologists, other physicians and Harvard Medical School reveal that C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, is now considered a better indicator of your cardiovascular health than other inflammatory markers. Several studies have shown that among people with normal cholesterol numbers, those with increased CRP levels have a several-fold higher risk for heart problems.
Chronic inflammation is noted as a silent killer because its effects are long term and may not be felt until they suddenly erupt like a fire. Scott Conard, M.D. says, “Patients come to my clinic saying ‘I feel fine, I feel fine,’ and then the cardiac event occurs and even death.”
Years ago, chronic inflammation erupted like a fire in my body. I thought sleep was a waste of time, until chronic inflammation from sleep deprivation broke out into a raging fire. I was diagnosed with inflammation of the nervous system. My doctors at Mayo Clinic said, “Michael, you must change the way you think about health and life. If you don’t, you will live with a diminishing quality of life, and you will die a premature death.”
Chronic inflammation is the robber of your health and quality of life. We put way too much emphasis on treating disease when what we need are more and better choices for decreasing inflammation. Nopalea helps lower inflammation and enhances the quality of life. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Nopalea showed statistical significance in the improvement of joint mobility, neck and back mobility, and flexibility, as well as in the reduction of elevated at-risk levels of C-reactive protein.
Cardiologist William Davis, M.D., The New York Times bestselling author of the Wheat Belly books, challenged one of the biggest lies ever told: eat a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. I saw the effects of that diet with my mother, who embraced this as gospel and came to a sad ending as she struggled with the horrific issues of dementia.
In his book, Dr. Davis states, “Most people are boiling pots of inflammation: hot, steaming, churning cauldrons of disordered, chaotic inflammatory responses due to the food choices that perform poorly to human dietary needs.”
Be aware that inflammation is your most significant health risk, and our culture promotes many of the foods that may cause inflammation. Empower yourself. Take command of your life, and live with the wellness you desire! Live a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Know your indicators like CRP, BMI and blood sugar levels, as they are indicators of the danger lurking within. Yours in wellness,
Michael R. Ellison
Since 2009, TriVita has been educating people on the dangers of long-term chronic inflammation. Now, major institutions such as Harvard Medical School, the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization are educating the medical community on the dangers of lingering inflammation, even citing it as the primary health risk and the root cause of most major illnesses and diseases.1-5
Nopalea is a breakthrough dietary supplement that promotes a state of wellness by supporting the normal and essential anti-inflammatory function performed by the immune system. It can also help reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility and range of motion.
Nopalea’s proprietary blend is made from the fruit of the nopal cactus found in the Sonoran Desert and contains potent antioxidants called bioflavonoids that promote cellular health.
Nopalea’s Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
Your quality of life depends on your ability to remain active. Since we introduced Nopalea more than ten years ago, we’ve heard from thousands of members who have had terrific experiences using the product. To put it to the test, we commissioned an independent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study on the effectiveness of Nopalea.
Study results showed that consumption of Nopalea improved mobility, flexibility and range of motion in the neck, back and joints. The outcomes also indicated it can help improve overall quality of life.6
Nopalea is a delicious, nutrient-dense drink made with the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. It’s brimming with antioxidants that support detoxification, healthy inflammation and wholebody wellness. But, it’s also more than that; Nopalea is backed by science.
Don’t let stiff joints and limited mobility hold you back. Restore your body’s vitality, and get moving!

Imagine how much better your life would be if you experienced less pain, better mobility and reduced reliance on pain medications. That’s exactly what participants in a study experienced with TriVita’s Nopalea. This superfruit drink made from the prickly pear cactus doesn’t just mask pain like medications do. Instead, it works by addressing the root cause — chronic inflammation.1
Nopalea is rich in antioxidants and betalains, which are powerful compounds that reduce inflammation and stimulate the body’s natural healing process.2 Unlike traditional pain relievers, which come with side effects, Nopalea provides a safe, natural way to manage pain.
Biblical teachings emphasize the power of belief, as seen in John 20:29 and Hebrews 11:1, which remind us that faith in unseen outcomes can lead to real results. Neuroscience shows that believing for a positive result boosts the brain’s natural ability to release healing chemicals, like endorphins. As you believe in your body’s ability to heal, you create the ideal conditions to maximize recovery.3
The 60-Day Nopalea Plan is the pain relief plan you can believe in. You too can feel less pain, improve mobility and rely less on medications. The 60-Day Nopalea Plan comes with a 60-day supply of products and an easy-to-follow Quick Start Guide to get you started. In addition, I will be your guide on a weekly phone call to help you navigate to success. With Nopalea, you’re not just managing pain — you’re encouraging true healing. Believing really is feeling.

Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are among the most important brain and heart health nutrients. When we’re young, omega-3s help brain development;1 in later years they protect against cognitive decline2 and throughout our lives they optimize brain cells for healthy function.3-5
In addition, according to the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), omega-3s may help support healthy blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart problems.6, 7
Several studies also demonstrate the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids. Research suggests that omega-3s may help relieve joint discomfort and reduce symptoms associated with inflammation.8
The problem? Most of us don’t get enough EPA or DHA.9

Trans-resveratrol is widely reported, through clinical trials, to be beneficial to healthy living and has been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antitumor and estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity.1 Resveratrol has also been shown to have cardioprotective and neuroprotective benefits.2 Resveratrol can be helpful in many areas of our body by expanding blood vessels so that its powerful antioxidant properties can get to your heart, brain and body with its protective benefits.
CARDIOPROTECTIVE BENEFITS:
• Clinical studies have shown resveratrol may support your heart health and its function.3
• Keeping the blood vessels open is a huge factor for a well-functioning cardio system and promoting healthy blood pressure.
NEUROPROTECTIVE BENEFITS:
• May slow down the degenerative process, helping to prevent neurological problems.
• Studies show resveratrol may protect nerve cells from damage and fight against plaque.
ANTIVIRAL BENEFITS:
• Research shows that resveratrol alters cellular pathways to interfere with viruses.
• Serves a protective role in respiratory system diseases.
OTHER BENEFITS:
• Studies have also shown that resveratrol, with its anti-inflammatory resources, may help to support your immune system, possesses anti-aging properties by delaying cellular aging and helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels.4

Blood sugar balance influences how you feel every single day, affecting your vitality, mood, appetite, mental clarity and more. Many factors can knock blood sugar off-balance, including bad diet, excess weight, sedentary living and poor sleep.1
Blood sugar levels measure circulating glucose and insulin distributes this glucose, helping maintain the ideal balance. GlucoManage is formulated to help maintain healthy glucose levels. It’s built on a solid vitamin and mineral foundation and enhanced with the SugarSolver™ botanical blend, which includes:
Gymnema sylvestre: Ayurvedic herb that may enhance insulin’s performance.2
Bitter melon: May mimic insulin effects while helping to maintain normal insulin release.3,4
American Ginseng: May help blood sugar balance by supporting efficient carb metabolism.5
Cinnamon: May help blood sugar by enhancing insulin performance and slowing gastric emptying.6
Banaba leaf: Folk herb traditionally used for blood sugar support.7
Vanadyl sulfate: A trace mineral with insulin-like effects that may play a role in glucose metabolism.8,9

Throughout our lives, bone is broken down (resorption) and rebuilt (formation). In younger years, this bone remodeling process is balanced. But as the body ages, bone tends to break down faster than it is formed—particularly for women— leading to bone loss.1
Bone Growth Factor features MCHC (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite), an advanced calcium that mirrors what’s found in our bones and has been suggested to help with bone remodeling.2-4 Bone Growth Factor reinforces this broad-spectrum calcium nutrition with:
Extra bone minerals: Phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.
49.8 mcg of Vitamin D3: Helps support MCHC and calcium absorption.
Vitamin K: Low K intake has been linked with bone breakdown (resorption).5
PLUS: Bone Growth Factor’s proprietary blend supplies: Ipriflavone: Phytoestrogen suggested to help maintain bone mass in women.6
Boron: Required for bone metabolism and may enhance bone mineralization.7,8

Calcium plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones, supporting their structure and function.1 Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. But getting enough calcium from food alone can be a challenge.2 On top of that, calcium absorption may drop by up to 20% in adulthood—and decline even further as we grow older, just when we start needing more.1,3
Calcium complex for musculoskeletal health
Featuring a premium calcium blend combined with magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, VitaCal-MagD K2:
• Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth
• Helps to maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle
Each serving provides:
• Helps in energy metabolism and tissue formation
• Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus
Calcium (500 mg): VitaCal-MagD K2 features two types of calcium: calcium citrate and calcium carbonate.
Magnesium (250 mg): Magnesium plays a role in bone formation, bone mineralization and calcium transport and regulates muscle function.4,5 It also helps convert vitamin D to the active form in the body.
Vitamin D3 (12.5 mcg): The body requires vitamin D to absorb calcium properly. Too little vitamin D may result in soft, thin and brittle bones.6,7
Vitamin K2 (40 mcg): K2 may support bone mineralization and in one 3-year study, it was associated with stronger bones and improved markers of bone health when taken at higher daily doses.8

Super Joint Complex is giving you more of the beneficial joint support ingredients from the original formula so you can keep living an active life. With an improved formula, discover how the ingredients in Super Joint Complex can help reduce swelling and ease the stiffness of your joints naturally.
The new formula is a unique combination of therapeutic doses of both joint tissue building and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Glucosamine and chondroitin are found naturally in the body, but as we age these joint-building compounds begin to drop leading to a gradual breakdown of the joint tissue which can lead to discomfort and inflammation. Additional ingredients in the product include MSM, boswellia serrata, turmeric, quercetin and bromelain. These are anti-inflammatory, which can help the body heal faster.
IMPACTFUL NUTRIENTS FOR JOINT SUPPORT
Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfate
• Clinical trials have reported a beneficial effect of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate on discomfort and function.1
• Chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate have been recommended for the management of knee and hip osteoarthritis.1
MSM and Boswellic Acid
• MSM is commonly integrated with other anti-arthritic ingredients including glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and boswellic acid.3
• In vitro studies suggest MSM protects cartilage.3 It’s been used in a number of combination therapies with positive results.3
• MSM in combination with boswellic acid was shown to improve knee joint function.4

Cholesterol concerns? Plant sterols may help. Also known as phytosterols, plant-based sterol esters are botanical compounds that mimic cholesterol. By occupying cholesterol’s “parking spaces” in the gastrointestinal tract, plant sterols may block LDL (“bad”) cholesterol from being absorbed and instead help to flush it out of the body.1,2 Cholestria supplies a high-potency 1,000 mg serving of plant-based sterol esters in each soft gel.
A more complete cardio picture
Cholestria Proprietary Blend complements plant sterols with a nutrient complex designed to support additional aspects of cardiovascular health:
Citrus Bioflavonoids Extract: Potent antioxidants beneficial to support lipid-lowering and a healthy cardiovascular system.3
Vitamin E: Supplies tocotrienols, multi-tasking antioxidants that help protect cells and regulate a cholesterol-related enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase.4
CoQ-10: Concentrated in the heart, CoQ-10 supplies fat-soluble antioxidant activity that helps fight the oxidation of LDL cholesterol particles.5 Also, statin use may deplete CoQ-10 levels.6
TriVita Tropical Blend: A complex of exotic botanical antioxidants from açai, mangosteen, camu camu and more may help support cardiovascular wellness.
Help maintain your cholesterol already within normal range with Cholestria!

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is essential for the production of keratin, a key protein that strengthens hair and nails, promoting growth and reducing brittleness. Additionally, it supports skin health by maintaining moisture levels and promoting a healthy appearance. A deficiency in biotin can lead to a range of issues, including hair loss, skin rashes and fatigue, making it vital to ensure adequate intake for optimal well-being.
Biotin helps in these areas:
• Promotes Healthy Hair Growth – Biotin helps support keratin production, which can lead to stronger, thicker and faster-growing hair.1
• Supports Skin Health – Biotin plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin by improving hydration, smoothness and overall appearance. 2
• Strengthens Nails – Regular biotin intake can improve nail strength, reducing brittleness and breakage. 3
• Muscle Cramps – As a member of the B vitamin family, biotin may help reduce or alleviate B7 deficiency-related muscle cramps.4
• Metabolic Dysfunction – Biotin is shown to support healthy sugar, fat and carbohydrate metabolism.5

R. Wolfe, Ph.D.
A world-renowned scientist and leading authority on essential amino acids, Dr. Wolfe formulated the 9 Essential Amino Acid proprietary blend contained in MyoHealth. He currently serves as Professor of Geriatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, as well as Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the UAMS Reynolds Institute on Aging.
While many people assume how they age is determined strictly by genetics, your lifestyle has a direct impact on your genes, your health and how you age. That’s because we’re not born with a finite amount of muscle; our muscles are in a constant state of being broken down and reproduced. Likewise, all proteins in the body are continuously breaking down and new proteins being synthesized to shed damaged muscle fibers and produce new ones.
Approximately 20% of amino acids released through the process of protein breakdown are irreversibly oxidized and therefore not available for reincorporation into newly synthesized proteins.¹
In order to maintain a constant lean body mass, these amino acids must be replaced, either by synthesis or via dietary protein or amino acid intake.
The rate of synthesis must also exceed the rate of breakdown to gain muscle protein. However, this process requires nutrient intake or new amino acids to provide what’s needed to produce that protein.
This muscle protein turnover is really the key to muscle metabolism, as normal nutrition is insufficient. MyoHealth® provides the optimal formulation of essential amino acids and nutrients to stimulate the resynthesis of muscle protein and replace worn out muscle fibers with fibers that function more effectively.

Unlike MyoHealth, most alternative meal replacement options and supplements have never been clinically proven to increase muscle strength and function.
Instead, these products serve primarily as an ineffective means of caloric support. As confirmation, a recent study showed that due to the anabolic resistance of aging, dietary protein is not as effective in older adults.2 That means no matter how much protein you eat, you will never achieve a balance between how much muscle protein is produced and how much is lost.
Whey protein, a milk protein that is a byproduct of the production of cheese, is the most popular protein supplement. It is a high quality protein with an excellent content and profile of EAAs. Whey protein is not a single protein; it is composed of a variety of proteins and peptides (short chains of amino acids). In the form in which whey is separated during cheese production, it contains more carbohydrates than protein. The carbohydrates are partly lactose, which creates issues for individuals who are lactose intolerant. Whey protein isolate is produced by further processing of natural whey protein and results in a product as much as 90% protein, with the rest mainly composed of carbohydrates. The addition of flavoring to whey protein isolate may add as much as 30% additional carbohydrates. As such, similar to all other protein supplements and protein food sources, whey protein is not pure protein.3
What’s so important about Essential Amino Acids?
• Muscle is the main reservoir of amino acids in the body1
• Muscle needs protein to grow, but the body cannot produce protein on its own
• Essential Amino Acids are the cellular building blocks of protein1
CLINICALLYPROVEN TO WORK. GUARANTEED TO HELP MUSCLE STRENGTH AND FUNCTION OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
• Muscle is always in a state of breakdown and synthesis, or “turnover,” which is an important process to get rid of old damaged muscle fibers and replace them with new healthy fibers1
• Muscle serves many important metabolic functions beyond supporting physical movement
MyoHealth contains the first U.S. patented Essential Amino Acid (EAA) complex that includes all 9 EAAs. But it wasn’t easy getting there. The formula behind our Essential Amino Acid Complex took 30 years to develop, cost $25 million in research and development and underwent 25 human clinical studies, including NASA space flight and patient bed rest studies.

3 WAYS PROMERIC 95 IS BETTER:
2003 “
My knee was aching, but only one week after I began taking Promeric 95, I noticed a big difference. I highly recommend Promeric 95!”
— Lonna L., Member since
1. More Powerful – The “95” in Promeric 95 stands for the fact that a full 95% of the product you’re taking is curcumin extract, making it far more potent than the meager 3% typically found in turmeric powder.Small, easyto-swallow soft gels
2. Absorbs More Easily – Promeric 95’s ultra-fine, micronized particles get more curcumin extract into your bloodstream and get it there faster.
3. Lasts Longer – Essential oil mixed with the curcumin extract prevents it from being broken down by the body too quickly, keeping Promeric 95 in your bloodstream for up to eight hours.

1 in 3 People have low vitamin D. Are you one of them?
Vitamin D is required by the immune system to fight off bacteria and viruses.1
Maybe you already know that vitamin D supports bone health and helps prevent osteoporosis. But, there’s so much more to this essential vitamin than just strong bones.
Dangers of Vitamin D Deficiency
• Compromised immune system
• Osteoporosis and bone weakness
• Fatigue, muscle aches and cramps2
Lack of sun exposure is a significant contributor to vitamin D deficiency, especially during the long winter months and Virus Season when we stay indoors more. Certain dietary restrictions, and even aging, further increase the risk.
of TriVita’s
• Formulated with 5,000 IUs (125 mcg) of vitamin D3, equivalent to 50 cups of milk3
• Bioidentical to the vitamin D3 your body produces naturally from sunlight
• Easy-to-swallow soft gels with olive oil for optimal absorption
The growing trend among physicians is to recommend a level of 50 or more, with a vitamin D level of 80 being optimal. A simple blood test can determine your vitamin D levels.
Start moving toward a stronger immune system now by supplementing with TriVita’s Essential D3.

Many of us don’t get enough vitamin D. Causes of this deficiency may include:
Getting older: Vitamin D gets harder to absorb and synthesize with age.1
Staying indoors: Your skin needs sunlight in order to make vitamin D.2
Sunblock: Using SPF 8+ may reduce the skin’s vitamin D synthesis by 95%.3
Being overweight: Carrying extra pounds may create vitamin D insufficiency risks.4
Essential D3: Enhanced & absorbable vitamin D3
Just one soft gel supplies 125 mcg of Vitamin D3, the equivalent Vitamin D amount found in 50 cups of milk!8

CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) is an important “bioenergetic antioxidant” that’s concentrated in the heart. The natural aging process may deplete CoQ-10, potentially leading to low CoQ-10 status. Statin drugs may also deplete CoQ-10. This “CoQ-10 drain” may affect your heart: Low CoQ-10 has been linked to diminished cardiac energy and cardiovascular health concerns.1-4
TriVita CoQ-10 may address these heart health concerns because it helps to replenish what statin drugs and aging may have taken away.5 By correcting your CoQ-10 status, you may promote this unique nutrient’s diverse range of cardio-supportive biological activities.
CoEnzyme Q-10:
• Is necessary in adequate amounts for heart energy metabolism6
• Is a cardiovascular antioxidant that helps protect the heart and blood vessels7
• Supports the function of the blood vessel linings, potentially helping with circulation8
• May help maintain heartbeat stability and the heart’s blood-pumping efficiency9
• May help to maintain blood pressure that’s already within normal range10
Supplying 50 mg of quality CoQ-10 in each easy-to-swallow soft gel, TriVita CoQ-10 is a convenient way to help contribute to the CoQ-10 status that’s associated with healthy cardiovascular function.

European black elderberry, or Sambucus nigra, is the key ingredient in TriVita’s premium Elderberry supplement. Black elderberry has the most potent antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of any elderberry variety. An article medically reviewed by Kathleen M. Zelman, RD, LD, MPH states: “Black elderberries have been studied most widely as a treatment for the viral flu. Scientists believe that the berry stimulates the immune system’s chemical responses, bringing relief from flu symptoms and possibly shortening its duration.”1
A NATURAL IMMUNE-BOOSTER WITH ANTIVIRAL PROPERTIES
• Inhibits viral replication: Elderberry extract has been shown to block the replication of viruses, such as influenza A and B, by preventing the virus from attaching to host cells.2
• Neutralizes viruses: Elderberry is packed with flavonoids, which help neutralize viruses, reducing their ability to infect host cells.3
• Effective against multiple viral strains: Elderberry has shown broad-spectrum antiviral effects against a variety of viruses, including influenza and H1N1.4
POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS TO COMBAT CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
• Reduces inflammatory markers: Elderberry has been shown to lower levels of CRP markers, which helps to mitigate inflammation throughout the body.5
• Neutralizes free radicals: Elderberry is rich in antioxidants, which help to neutralize free radicals. This reduces oxidative stress, a key contributor to chronic inflammation.6
• Inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes: Compounds in elderberry can inhibit the activity of enzymes involved in inflammation, such as cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX), thereby helping reduce inflammatory responses.7

Peaceful Sleep Gummies are sugar free, gluten free and formulated with 75 mg of valerian root extract 20:1 (Valerian pseudofficinalis), which is equivalent to 1,500 mg of valerian root, per dose to help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly. Well known for its ability to induce calmness and help alleviate stress, valerian root may also help reduce muscle tension. It’s also naturally flavored.
VALERIAN ROOT IS SHOWN TO HELP:
• Relieve feelings of stress and anxiousness: Valerian, a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia, has been employed for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments. Its most celebrated attribute is its ability to induce calmness and alleviate stress and anxiousness. The herb achieves this by interacting with the gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain, promoting a sense of relaxation and tranquility.1,2
• Improve sleep quality: One of valerian’s significant benefits is its potential to improve sleep quality. For individuals grappling with insomnia or restless nights, valerian may aid in achieving a more restful night’s sleep. Studies suggest that valerian may reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and improve overall sleep quality naturally without the side effects commonly associated with synthetic sleep aids. 3
• Ease muscle tension: Beyond its calming effects, valerian possesses muscle-relaxant properties. This makes it a valuable tool for individuals dealing with tension or muscle spasms. By easing muscular discomfort, valerian contributes to an overall sense of physical and mental well-being.4

Homocysteine is an amino acid that helps create proteins and is naturally produced in our bodies. We require homocysteine and must maintain the correct levels. High levels of homocysteine may make your blood clot more easily than it should, increasing the risk of blood vessel blockages, which then lead to other health risks. High homocysteine levels in the blood can also damage the lining of the arteries, which can lead to a stroke, heart attack or pulmonary embolism.1 Homocysteine is normally changed into other amino acids for use by the body. Vitamin B helps your body use homocysteine. If your homocysteine level is too high, you may not be getting enough B vitamins.
circulation issues and Alzheimer’s. The good news is that homocysteine levels can be tested, and high homocysteine levels can, in many cases, be normalized through diet and vitamin supplementation. The most important nutrients that help lower homocysteine levels are folate, the vitamins B12, B6 and B2, zinc and trimethylglycine (TMG).2
Supplements are also a great way to get back to a healthy homocysteine level and to maintain that level.
The complex metabolism of homocysteine within the body is highly dependent on certain vitamin factors. Deficiencies in vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin B6 are associated with elevated homocysteine levels. Other factors thought to raise levels are poor diet, poor lifestyle especially smoking and high coffee and alcohol intake — some prescription drugs, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and poor thyroid function. The level of homocysteine in the plasma is increasingly being recognized as a risk factor for disease and seen as a predictor of potential health problems such as cardiovascular disease,
Your doctor may suggest homocysteine testing for early detection of vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, which may be signs of low homocysteine levels. A homocysteine test is a blood test that you can request as a part of your annual physical with your primary care provider. In a healthy person, homocysteine levels are around 5 to 15 micromoles per liter (mcmol/L). Nearly all of that homocysteine converts to other proteins. If you have more than 50 mcmol/L, the excess homocysteine may damage the lining of your arteries.3
When homocysteine is too low, you are not making adequate amounts of SAMe OR cysteine. When you don’t have enough homocysteine to recycle into methionine to make SAMe, you do not make enough methyltransferase (i.e., you are undermethylating).4
References:
Elevated blood homocysteine concentration increases the risk of stroke, especially among hypertensive individuals. Homocysteine is largely affected by the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism and folate status.5
This does not mean that you are destined to have a stroke if you have elevated homocysteine levels; it just means there is an increased risk for a stroke.
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death for all Americans and a leading cause of serious long-term disability.6
You can help prevent a stroke by living a healthy lifestyle and controlling any health conditions you may already have.
Here are some tips to help reduce the chances of having a stroke:
• Choose healthy foods and drinks.
• Maintain a healthy weight.
• Don’t smoke.
• Get regular physical activity.
• Limit alcohol.
• Check your cholesterol level.
• Control your blood pressure level.
We don’t hear a lot about homocysteine, but it is important to keep aware of your homocysteine levels by checking with a doctor to make it part of your annual blood work or getting an individual test. Supplements like HCY Guard with its complementary nutrients of choline, L-cysteine and CoEnzyme Q-10 may be very helpful.

When homocysteine (HCY) levels go out-of-range, blood vessel and circulatory concerns seem to follow1—suggesting the importance of balanced HCY for heart health.
Why does HCY go out-of-range?
Among other reasons, low levels of Vitamin B6, B12 and folate are associated with unbalanced HCY.2,3 This may be because these three B vitamins are cofactors in HCY metabolism; they help the body to use and eliminate HCY properly.4 Unfortunately, some older adults have a harder time absorbing B vitamin nutrition and may fall short on the recommended intake for HCY support.5
HCY Guard is formulated with Vitamin B6, B12 (as methylcobalamin) and folate in precise ratios—supplying the right B vitamin nutrition to help support your HCY levels already within normal range.
The HCY Guard proprietary blend adds complementary nutrients for even more support, including:
Choline: An important cofactor in homocysteine metabolism6
L-Cysteine: Helps convert HCY into methionine, a beneficial amino acid7
CoEnzyme Q-10: Extra support for healthy blood vessels and circulation8
HCY Guard is presented in pleasant-tasting soft tablets that dissolve in the mouth. This step encourages absorption to help optimize HCY Guard’s nutritional support for your cardiovascular health.

Zinc is known as the “gatekeeper” because of its multifaceted roles in regulating the immune system’s activity, ensuring a balanced and effective response to pathogens while also protecting against overactivity that can lead to autoimmune issues or chronic inflammation.
IMMUNE CELL DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTION: Zinc is crucial for the normal development and function of immune cells, especially T cells and neutrophils, which are critical in defending the body against infections.1
ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES: Zinc plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, which can damage immune cells and other tissues. By minimizing oxidative damage, zinc helps maintain the integrity of immune cells and their ability to function effectively.
REGULATING INFLAMMATION: Zinc helps modulate the inflammatory response. It ensures that the body can mount an effective defense against pathogens without excessive inflammation, which can cause tissue damage. This balancing act is crucial in preventing chronic inflammation, which is linked to various diseases. 2
BARRIER FUNCTION: Zinc supports the integrity of physical barriers, such as the skin and the mucous membranes in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, which act as the first line of defense against pathogens.
GENE REGULATION: Zinc is involved in the regulation of genes that are critical for immune responses. It influences the expression of cytokines and other signaling molecules that guide the immune system’s response to threats. 3

Protecting and nourishing our hearts with heart-healthy nutrients can help us stand a better chance against cardiovascular events. Created with Vitamin K2 and K1, discover the benefits of K2 Complete, a soft gel supplement for heart health.
CARDIOVASCULAR SUPPORT FROM HEART-HEALTHY VITAMIN K INGREDIENTS
TriVita’s K2 Complete contains three forms of Vitamin K: Vitamin K1 as phytonadione, Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Vitamin K2 and K1 are a group of fat-soluble vitamins widely researched for heart health benefits.1-5
Vitamin K deficiency can lead to calcification (mineral deposits) of vessel walls that has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. Vitamin K2 consumption may lower risk of vascular damage.1 It has also been found to be up to eight times more bioavailable than K1 and can remain active in the body for a longer period of time.2
Vitamin K1 can be found in plant-based foods such as kale, spinach and broccoli.
Vitamin K2 is often missing in the Western diet as it is usually found in fermented foods.2,3
Vitamin K2 studies have shown:
• If at least 32 mcg of vitamin K2 is present in the diet, then the risks for blood-vessel calcification and heart problems are significantly lowered.3
• High-intake of vitamin K2 was associated with protection against cardiovascular events.4
• Long-term use of MK-7 supplements improved arterial stiffness, which is related to high blood pressure and hypertension, in healthy postmenopausal women.5

Statistics suggest that stress in America is on the rise, with as much as 63% of the U.S. workforce having considered leaving their jobs to escape work-related stress.1 According to a Harris Poll conducted for the American Psychological Association, the economy, our jobs and health issues rank among the top stressors for survey respondents.2 The World Health Organization estimates that 12 billion workdays are lost annually worldwide due to anxiety or depression, at a cost of one trillion U.S. dollars per year.3
With the ever-rising costs of healthcare and less access to in-person doctor visits, self-care is becoming a more important means of maintaining our physical and mental wellbeing.
As APA President Rebecca W. Brendel, M.D., J.D. states, “What’s promising is that many Americans are aware of their mental health needs and taking steps to improve their own mental health.”4
Stress is not just a modern-day dilemma. People have sought solace from worry and anxiety for centuries. Since life began in a Garden, it makes sense to consider the plants that God has given us as potential sources for wellness solutions. One plant in particular has shown great promise in this area, both practically and scientifically: Ashwagandha.
Originally found in the driest parts of India, the Middle East and parts of Africa, Ashwagandha grows as a desert shrub. This hearty evergreen goes by many names, including winter cherry, Indian ginger and even poison gooseberry.
The ancient peoples of the Indian subcontinent used the plant’s roots, leaves, berries and even bark for myriad medicinal purposes.
The American Botanical Society says that the dried root and whole plant are used in Indian folk medicine and references the claims of ethnobotanist James
Duke, PhD, that various parts of the Ashwagandha plant are used as folk remedies for everything from hypertension and senility to asthma and hiccups.5
This ancient herb has garnered newfound interest in our day for its adaptogenic properties.
adaptogen - Adaptogens are natural substances, such as herbs and roots, that may help the body adapt to and better manage stress.
Cortisol is a hormone our body releases as part of the fight-or-flight response. When we feel threatened, our adrenal glands release hormones including cortisol
and adrenaline into the bloodstream. These hormones work together to raise heart rate, increase glucose in the bloodstream and help ensure your body can repair itself more efficiently.
cortisol - Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone, which is released by the adrenal glands in response to a perceived threat.
This natural process is helpful if you’re facing a dangerous or threatening situation. However, when your body is constantly in fight-or-flight mode because of work deadlines or difficulties in a relationship, chronic stress can lead to a number of health problems.
According to the Mayo Clinic, overexposure to cortisol puts you at increased risk for health problems such as these:6
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Digestive problems
• Headaches
• Muscle tension and pain
• Heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke
• Sleep problems
• Weight gain
• Memory and concentration impairment
Studies have shown that Ashwagandha helps balance the stress hormone cortisol, which should be higher in the daytime and lower at night.7

Genetics and life experiences help determine how you react to stress. Regardless of your background or whether you’re able to change your circumstances, there are steps you can take to manage stress better. You may want to keep a journal, volunteer in your community or take up a hobby.6
As part of a healthy lifestyle, including a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and getting seven to nine hours of restful sleep each night, you might want to consider taking an Ashwagandha supplement to help manage stress.
Several studies have supported the assertion that the herb may lessen perceived levels of stress and anxiety–even significantly.8
TriVita’s Ashwagandha KSM-66® supplement was developed to help reduce stress and to promote sleep and faster recovery. Unlike many other Ashwagandha supplements, the serving size of our formulation is 600mg, equal to that used in the clinical studies.
Studies of this KSM-66 formulation have demonstrated a significant reduction in perceived stress, as well as better quality of sleep and increased alertness when rising. Less stress and healthier cortisol levels could contribute to better overall health and a greater sense of well-being.

KSM-66®
Our days are filled with things that cause us to feel stressed, from work deadlines to relationship difficulties to health worries. Chronic stress causes our bodies to release too much of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to health problems such as anxiety, digestive trouble, sleep problems and memory impairment.1
KSM-66 is the most studied form of Ashwagandha, having been evaluated in 24 “Gold Standard” randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled clinical trials.2 Studies have shown that Ashwagandha KSM-66 helps balance cortisol levels, which may reduce anxiety, promote a greater sense of calmness and enhance overall resilience to stress.3
Plus, this amazing herb does more than just make you feel better. It has real potential to make you truly healthier.
BASED ON 20+ CLINICAL STUDIES USING OUR RECOMMENDED DOSAGE OF 600 MG, ASHWAGANDHA MAY HELP IMPROVE THESE AREAS:

Beetroot Gummies are formulated with 1,500 mg of beetroot powder to help optimize healthy blood flow for peak performance. They are sugar free, gluten free, vegan friendly and taste great with no earthy flavor.
One of the most significant advantages of beetroot is its high nitrate content, which the body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps to relax and dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and supporting healthy blood pressure. This enhanced circulation can lead to better oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body, supporting cardiovascular health and boosting physical performance.
Beetroot is rich in nitrates that your body turns into nitric oxide, which helps widen your blood vessels, letting blood flow better. That means more oxygen gets to your muscles and organs, keeping them healthy and strong.1
Beetroot helps keep the insides of your blood vessels healthy by stimulating vasodilation allowing the blood vessels to relax and widen. When the blood vessels are relaxed, there is less pressure on the walls of the blood vessels, which lowers your chances of developing heart problems. 2
Taking beetroot before physical activity may help you last longer and perform better. That's because it helps your body use oxygen more efficiently. 3
When you have beetroot, your cells don't need as much oxygen for your body to keep going. So, you can enjoy moving longer without feeling like you need to stop and catch your breath.4

When you hear “nitric oxide,” you might think of nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas. While you might appreciate nitrous oxide gas at the dentist’s office, nitric oxide is quite different. Taking care to maintain plenty of nitric oxide in our bodies is no laughing matter, and you need to know why.
Doctors Robert Furchgott, Louis Ignarro and Ferid Murad won the 1998 Nobel Prize for medicine after discovering the importance of “nitric oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system.” 1 In the two decades since, nitric oxide has been studied extensively and is even considered by some to be the most important molecule in the body due to its role in transmitting nerve impulses from cell to cell in every tissue in the body.
According to the World Heart Federation, deaths due to cardiovascular disease have risen 60% across the globe over the last 30 years. 2 The World Health Organization estimates that 1.28 billion adults over age 30 have hypertension , or high blood pressure, with only 21% having it under control.3
Statistically speaking, half of all men in the United States, and nearly half of all women, have hypertension. 4 What’s more, almost half of the adults in the U.S. with high blood pressure aren’t aware they have the condition 5 and, therefore, aren’t likely to do anything to improve their cardiovascular health.
While such numbers may not come as news to you, you might be surprised to learn that heart disease often has less to do with the heart itself than with the arteries and blood vessels throughout your circulatory system.
High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. Vasodilation, or relaxation, of the arteries can
become compromised due to damage caused by years of uncontrolled elevated blood pressure, high lipids and glucose in the blood, and calcified plaque buildup in the arterial lining. Instead of the heart having smooth, flexible arteries to pump blood through, the heart has to work extra hard to force blood through narrow, stiff arteries, which can lead to serious cardiovascular conditions as we age. 6
The best known function of nitric oxide in the body is its ability to help manage high blood pressure, but healthy levels of nitric oxide generate a wealth of benefits for a number of body systems.
• Cardiovascular - In healthy arteries, nitric oxide signals the vasodilation response of arteries. Vasodilation improves blood flow, increases oxygen in the blood and modulates blood pressure. 7
• Pulmonary - Similar to its function in the cardiovascular system, nitric oxide signals bronchodilator nerves to dilate, increasing the lungs’ ability to deliver oxygen throughout the body. 7
• Immune - Nitric oxide blocks virus replication, giving the immune system a better chance of fighting off symptoms associated with viruses, harmful pathogens and other foreign invaders. 8
• Cognitive - Studies have shown that a nitrate-rich diet may increase regional cerebral blood flow to the frontal lobe of the brain in older patients, an important factor in protecting against cognitive decline. 9,10
• Endocrine - This molecule has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, which may reduce diabetes complications, and it is known to help improve other hormone functions in the body, as well. 6
The good news is that our bodies produce nitric oxide as naturally as we breathe, literally! Deep breathing in through your nose not only produces nitric oxide in the paranasal sinuses, it effectively delivers it down into your lungs. 11 Aside from your sinuses, nitric oxide is produced in the endothelial cells that line the insides of your blood vessels—all 60,000 miles of them.
The bad news is that our bodies produce less and less nitric oxide as we age , which can leave us with a lack of energy, high blood pressure and cognitive decline. By age 40, most Americans produce only half the nitric oxide they produced in their 20s. By age 50, nitric oxide production has decreased to only 35%, and it falls to a mere 15% of what it once was by the time we reach age 60. 6
Beetroot is one of the most popular ways to supplement nitrates. For instance, TriVita’s Nitric Oxide Plus and Beetroot Gummies , with their natural nitrates, antioxidants and vital nutrients help boost blood flow and reduce inflammation. Add the metabolizing power of Alfred Libby’s Original B-12 or Super B-12 for converting food into energy and supporting red blood cell production, and you’ve got a winning combination for long-lasting energy.
With such a dramatic decrease in our bodies’ own ability to produce this crucial molecule, it is essential that we find other ways to get nitric oxide. Sadly, nitric oxide itself isn’t something you can consume; however, we can consume foods rich in nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, as well as antioxidants, which aid in the conversion process.
The amino acids L-arginine and L-citrulline also produce nitric oxide in the body. L-arginine can be found in red meat, fish and dairy products, while L-citrulline is also available in meat, as well as legumes. Beets are also a wonderful source of nitrates.

Your overall system loves B vitamins. They make sure the body’s cells are functioning properly. B12 is probably the most popular of the B vitamins and is vital for neurological functions, energy and red blood cell development, but all of the B vitamins are great for you. Today, let’s talk about the synergistic benefits of how eight individual B vitamins work together to maximize energy and cellular health.
According to the National Institute of Health, B vitamins are primarily responsible for helping your metabolism work properly. B vitamins are dependent on a healthy microbiota in the gut. This shows not only the importance of the synergy of micronutrients working together but also how they rely on gut health.1 Your metabolism involves the chemical processes needed for life, such as making cells, creating energy from the food you eat and breaking down bi-products of energy and waste matter. B vitamins and how they interact with the body are essential to our overall health.
B vitamins are water-soluble, which means that they dissolve in water inside your body and are then easily absorbed into tissue for immediate use. Because B vitamins are so easily absorbed and used, they cannot be stored like fat-soluble vitamins. For this reason, it is important to consume healthy, fresh, unprocessed foods, rich in B vitamins every day. This will also assist healthy microbiota in the gut. Combining foods rich in B vitamins with a healthy gut will maximize optimal digestion and metabolism of vital energy throughout the body. Primary sources of B vitamins in animal products consist of fish, meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. B vitamins can also be obtained from plant sources such as green leafy vegetables, beans and peas.

By Scott Conard, MD
Alfred Libby, a pioneer in nutrients and health, patented the technology that still powers TriVita’s Slow Dissolve B-12 supplements. His original formula lets the dissolving action of B12 get into the bloodstream without an injection or swallowing a pill.
Alfred Libby was an associate of Linus Pauling, Ph.D., the two-time Nobel Laureate and “Father of Vitamin C.” Early in his career, Libby discovered the dramatic health changes that B12 could make and worked for decades to raise awareness.
“We’ve given people back their lives”
Along with B12, Libby was the “star” of TV infomercials beginning in 2000. Here, I’ve selected some of his memorable thoughts:
“We’ve given people back their lives,”
Libby said. At the time, painful and expensive injections were the only way to supplement effectively with B12. And, undiagnosed B12 deficiency caused untold damage.
Scott Conard, MD, DABFM, FAAFP
Dr. Conard has more than 20 years of successful clinical practice, research and leadership experience. Through his Texas-based practice and books he’s authored, he empowers people to take control of their health.
“B12 deficiency, undiagnosed and untreated, wreaks havoc,” he declared. This “havoc” took many forms:
• Moodiness
• Low energy
• Lack of focus
He would talk about patients who, with Slow Dissolve B-12, went from moodiness and lethargy to enthusiasm and energy… older people, sent to nursing homes because they were disruptive and difficult, becoming “functional human beings again.”
A key element in Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12 is its unique delivery system: where the tablets dissolve and get absorbed quickly into the bloodstream.
Dramatic effects and a change of career
In my own medical practice, I found the same kinds of patient results that Libby witnessed years before. For years, my medical practice specialized in treating the elderly. Patients would come into my office complaining that they had no energy and felt “low,” and they would beg for B12 “shots.” After their shots they became so much more alive, so much more well, that I changed course in my career.
I switched my focus to preventive medicine, convinced that the way to make a difference in people’s lives was to help them get the vitamins and nutrients they need before health issues arise.
My own experience has shown me the truth of Libby’s statement: “It’s so fulfilling, so gratifying to be involved with this [Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12]… and with the right company, TriVita.”
In his original infomercial, Alfred Libby would gesture toward the phone banks and say, “When I see the phones light up it reminds me of the song ‘You Light Up My Life.’ That’s how I feel when I see those lights; people’s lives are lighting up.”
