FROM THE FOUNDER

ESSENTIALS

for HEALTH & WELLNESS

Good health is a gift to be treasured and nurtured every day. TriVita joyfully shares these keys to helping you experience wellness: the essentials for physical, emotional and spiritual health.

SPIRITUAL 1. Develop a Relationship with God

EMOTIONAL 2. Give and Receive Love 3. Be Forgiving 4. Practice Gratitude 5. Develop Acceptance

Michael R. Ellison

The past two years of the pandemic have had a startling effect on our lifestyle and in particular our physical activity. It closed gyms, yoga, spinning studios, and even much of the mandate messaging was to stay at home. If physical activity is reduced or nearly eliminated it has serious health risks. It is more than just weight gain that occurred, recent science reveals it is more serious than being a smoker.

Researchers found in a study of more than 100,000 people, over a number of years, there is a clear connection between a longer healthier life and high levels of exercise. The study published by the journal of JAMA Network Open concludes a sedentary lifestyle is the equivalent of a major disease.

I know Covid was/is a very serious health risk, but also please know a sedentary lifestyle will reduce longevity and increase significantly other health robbing diseases.

The month of May is the most beautiful time all across Canada and a time to take your physical activity outdoors. Enjoy the beauty! I love the many places I have gone through the years, primarily in western Canada. It truly is beautiful!!

To help you strengthen those muscles for more vigorous activity, we again feature MyoHealth with over 20 million dollars in research in 25 human (not mice) clinical studies.

For optimal health and stronger muscles, you need the nine essential amino acids as your body does not make them. It would be nearly impossible to eat a combination of food that matches the MyoHealth amino acid formula that took over twenty years and 25 human clinical trials to develop.

Please ask for the free audio CD of Dr. Wolfe sharing the science and benefits of MyoHealth with your special priced order this month to help you understand the amazing rewards!

7. Drink Water

Living stronger and bolder will allow you to enjoy the beauty wherever you live in Canada and enjoy the best quality of life. Here is one of the most beautiful places I have been to is Lake Louise in Banff National Park including the hiking opportunities.

8. Sleep Peacefully

Live stronger!

PHYSICAL 6. Breathe Deeply

9. Physical Activity 10. Eat Nutritiously

MyoHealth Results:

“ — Larry Kerychuk, former pro football player and MyoHealth fan

“

My health kept getting worse, and it was pathetic the way I was living. But I tried the MyoHealth product, and it changed my life.

I started working out consistently for the first time in years, and I can’t believe that at my age I have more muscle mass than when I played pro football.”

I am 63 and my strength was declining at a rapid pace.

However, after receiving your Vegan lemonade powder I followed the instructions and added a simple but strenuous 35 minute workout routine. The results have been amazing and now my strength is increasing by leaps and bounds.

Thank you so much and God Bless all who use this wonderful product.”

— William B., Member since 2017

“

I played in the NBA for 10 years. I can speak from vast experience that after the 60-Day Challenge my wife and I have seen the change in my body. I have improved muscle mass, lost weight and have improved overall health with a good diet, exercise and MyoHealth. My wife is now taking MyoHealth as well.”

MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM SUPPORT

9 Essential amino acids: The backbone of MyoHealth® Build muscle the EAAsy way With hundreds of companies touting thousands of supplements, how can you be sure that MyoHealth is any different than all of the other products that promise to build stronger, leaner muscle?

Simple. With MyoHealth Essential Amino Acid (EAA) Complex, it starts with the perfectly blended mix of all 9 EAAs that go into every canister and the years of science that went into developing this formula.

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 • 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 over $25 million in research and development and underwent 25 human clinical trials, including NASA space flight and patient bed rest studies.

Available in a delicious, easy-to-mix Orange, Lemonade or Berry Crush flavor, MyoHealth powder includes: • The daily recommended dosage of 3.6 grams of EAAs per scoop

“

I’m 73 years old, and I started taking MyoHealth Essential Amino Acids about six months ago after listening to Dr. Wolfe’s testimony. I’ve renovated my own house, put in a fence in my backyard and I work with my daughters cleaning houses every day.

It’s important for me to have the strength and endurance I need to continue doing the things I love and have always done no matter my age. "

— Pat A. Member since 2017

• 20 or less calories per serving • Naturally flavored • Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) certified EAA formula

VitaCal-MagD™ K2

Ensure your calcium does what it’s supposed to...

Vitamin K2 ensures the calcium (166.67 mg) in VitaCal-MagD™ K2 does what it’s supposed to— promote the calcification of bones and may support healthy blood vessels and kidneys.

VitaCal-Mag D K2 also helps maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle.

Add in the benefits provided by magnesium (83.33 mg) and Vitamin D3 (166.7 IU), and you have a powerhouse of musculoskeletal support that other supplements on the market simply don’t provide.

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

Members Share T heir TriVita Stories “The TriVita experience is outstanding. I'm 90 years old and it’s helped me a lot. I love the customer service because when I call, they make me feel important and they're interested in helping me with a product. If I have questions about something, they're willing to help me. It's a faith-based company which is important to me. I like the catalog because it's educational and it helps me whenever I have questions about one of their products. I would recommend TriVita.”

-Connie K. “We use TriVita products and really love the whole TriVita experience.

They just want to help you, no matter what your needs. They want to help you solve your problems and make things work for you. And my goodness, what a transformation they made in our lives. We choose TriVita because it works and they really care about you.”

-Wendy K.

“The experience with Trivita was more than I expected. The specialist in CARE was helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and made ordering my supplements easy. It was a pleasant surprise to be asked if I'd like to hear a prayer from the founder, Michael Ellison. I enjoyed the prayer very much. Calling TriVita made my day!”

-Tim I.

“I played professional football back in the old days, in the 60’s and 70’s. I’m actually 75 now. The reason why I love TriVita is simply because it works. Every aspect of my life was affected, physical, spiritual and emotional. I had to start out slowly, but it worked. My life has changed.”

-Larry K.

“I have not found a bad person at TriVita ever, in 20 years. When you call TriVita, there's a very good possibility that you might have prayer with one of the consultants. And not only are they personable and knowledgeable, but to call a company as large as they are, and as prominent and important, you still get real people that all of us can relate to. The agents can be helpful and pray on the phone with you, while you are purchasing something from them. And I found it to be wonderful.”

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM SUPPORT

Omega3 Prime™

Premium fish oil concentrate for heart, brain and joint support 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 decline;2 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 Omega3 Prime contains premium golden fish oil concentrate that is carefully formulated to be: Potent: 1,000 mg serving is concentrated in omega-3s: Pleasant: Natural lemon-flavored soft gels—no fishy 670 mg EPA and 125 mg DHA odor or aftertaste Convenient: Just two small, easy-to-swallow soft gels make omega-3s a breeze to take

Sustainable: Ingredients sourced from Friend of the Sea suppliers – dedicated to conserve marine habitats and resources

Quality, every step of the way: • Highly refined and pharmaceutically distilled to provide the most pure form of omega-3s • High quality control standards that help ensure potency, limit fish oil oxidation, neutralizing fishy odor and aftertaste

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM SUPPORT

CoEnzyme Q-10

Antioxidant support for cardiovascular wellness and maintenance of good health CoEnzyme Q-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:

LIVE WELL

With the Synergy of

B12, B6 & B9

Experience Whole-Body Wellness with B Vitamins Your brain is currently using energy to read this sentence. If you keep reading, you’ll learn how B12 impacts your brain, mood and energy and why you really don’t want to be deficient in this essential vitamin.

You’ll also learn about the benefits and effects of other B vitamins and why they’re important to help you power through your days. In the United States, the prevalence of Vitamin B12 deficiency varies by age range, affecting at least 3 percent of those aged 20–39 years old, 4 percent of those aged 40–59 years, and 6 percent of those 60 years or over.1

Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and folic acid reduced the risk of a depressive episode compared with placebo among survivors of a stroke.4

B12 DEFICIENCY

It’s been thought that Vitamin B12 deficiency was first described in 1849, and was considered to have a fatal outcome.2 This was until 1926, when it was found that a diet of liver, a food source high in Vitamin B12, was shown to slow the disease process.2 Nowadays liver may not be at the top of the food cravings list for everyone, so supplements are an easy way to get this essential vitamin. People who are typically deficient in B12 include the elderly, vegetarians, pregnant women, people with digestive problems, or people who had gastrointestinal surgery. Your energy comes from within so it makes sense that certain vitamins contain the nutrients your brain needs to power your body and keep your mental focus and clarity, as well as affect your mood.

WHAT MAKES B12 SPECIAL?

B12 is more than just an essential vitamin, it provides your body with the necessary nutrients for a healthy life. Vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked with cognitive decline. Folate (a B9 vitamin), with Vitamins B12 and B6 as catalyzing cofactors, has been shown to influence cognitive performance and mood according to a 2015 review in the journal of Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry.3 One study found treatment with

22

Supplementation with B12 may likely increase energy levels if you have a deficiency.5 One study reported those deficient in B12 reported more fatigue and depressive symptoms than those without.5 Additionally, Vitamin B12 can benefit eye health as deficiency has been associated with the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and risk of frailty, both causes of disability in the older population.2 Reference List: 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19116323/ 2. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3257642/ 3. https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/430229 4.

B12 IS ESSENTIAL

Not only does this vitamin contribute to brain and eye health, but it’s essential for whole-body wellness. B12 is a superb vitamin that’s been heavily researched for its effects on various areas of health. As we age, we’re more susceptible to becoming B12 deficient, especially since our bodies don’t store B12.

NEW RESEARCH

New research surrounding B12 has examined its possible offset of the dangerous health effects of pollution on the body. A study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2017, suggesting that a cocktail of B vitamins including folic acid, B6 and B12 could help hinder the effects of PM2.5, which is tiny particulate matter from pollution that can be dangerous to inhale, on the epigenome.1 The epigenome is made up of compounds and proteins that attach to DNA. They stated in the study, “Our research provided the experimental evidence showing that the epigenetic effects of PM2.5 can be reduced using 4-wk B-vitamin supplementation.”1

OTHER INGREDIENTS

Folic acid, the synthetic form of folate, is a B9 vitamin and has been shown to greatly benefit human growth and development and is important for long-term health.

Vitamin B12 is related metabolically to folate.3 In fact, an adequate amount of B12 in the body is extremely important for a healthy pregnancy. One study found folic acid fortification reduced neural tube defect prevalence by 50 percent to 70 percent in children.3 With more of a spotlight on health and wellness than ever, it’s time to take a look at these vitamins and consider taking this slow-dissolve supplement to help ensure you don’t become deficient. If your goal is to achieve optimal wellness, consider adding Vitamin B12 to your supplement arsenal because it’s a vitamin your body needs to not only survive, but thrive.

What’s the story behind B12 and Alfred Libby?

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 2-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, 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.

24

“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 quickly absorbed 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.”

On 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.”

Let’s face it, each day we are at war with the dangers of chronic inflammation. Pollution, stress, poor sleep, obesity, lack of exercise, social isolation, and a pandemic have contributed to attacks against our immune system encouraging chronic inflammation.

Unfortunately, most people don’t even realize they have chronic inflammation raging inside their bodies.1 Inflammation on its own is not a disease, but if left untreated can play a central role in some of the most challenging maladies of our modern world.2 Chronic inflammation diseases are the most significant cause of death in the world today.

SIGNS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, psoriasis, eczema, asthma, allergies, joint pain, obesity, and gout are just some of the conditions that are most likely due to chronic inflammation.3 Your body’s natural response is going the wrong way.

APPROACH CHRONIC INFLAMMATION, NATURALLY

There is good news, however. As we become aware of the risk factors happening inside of us, we can take action to reduce them. Nopalea may be an effective solution. Nopalea is all-natural, derived from the fruit of the Nopal cactus, and native to the Sonoran Desert. It is a cactus fruit juice that is robust in antioxidants that support detoxification, promote healthy inflammation and whole-body wellness. Nopalea is based on a long-standing tradition and backed by science. With more than 13 million bottles sold, Nopalea is helping thousands of people regain the life they deserve to live.

TIPS ON HOW TO GET STARTED

Scientists are still learning about chronic inflammation, but we do know that chronic inflammation does not stop unless you do something to combat it. A good start to conquering chronic inflammation is eating a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, good protein and fats, and some carbohydrates. Stay away from processed and high-sodium foods, artificial sweeteners, and simple carbs like white bread, sweetened cereals, and most desserts. Simply put, put down ready-to-heat boxed foods that you just toss in the microwave. Instead, choose fresh ingredients as often as possible. A healthier lifestyle also includes some sort of exercise even if it’s just walking.

YOU’VE GOT THIS!

The bottom line, chronic inflammation is real and is not fake news. This is not something you have to live with. If you desire to live your life with less pain, more mobility, and flexibility, you can choose a healthy lifestyle that can make a significant impact on your overall wellness and possibly your longevity.

Nopalea Success Stories Nopalea worked for them, and it might just work for you too! Discover how Nopalea improved the quality of life for people with different passions and backgrounds.

From being able to take a full golf swing again to experiencing more mobility for day-to-day activities, Nopalea has been instrumental in helping these inspiring people to keep moving.

“Nopalea has allowed me to enjoy my passion of golf again.”

Myron M

“My biggest passion in my life is playing golf and I’ve been playing golf since the age of 15. I play golf with my friends and clients and over the last three years, inflammation has really affected my ability to play. I’ve noticed since I tried Nopalea that I used to have some issues with my back, a lot of stiffness, my elbow, and I’m not having those issues anymore. I’ve been able to create a quality of life on the golf course that I haven’t had in a lot of years. Before I started using Nopalea, I would start my golf round with my normal stretching routine and I’d be able to tell right away how my day was going to be.

I’d go through the stretching process, I’d start taking a few practice swings and I could still feel my back discomfort and lack of flexibility. I was not able to take

a full golf swing and I was worried about it even more.

The pain was there and I wasn’t able to function as I would like on the golf course. But, since taking Nopalea, I go through my stretching process and I don’t have the pain and am able to be flexible and take a full swing.

When I go out to the golf course, I’m able to swing the golf club fully and get better results. What I felt wasn’t really a dramatic change, it was something that when I was going through my day-to-day activities or playing golf, it was almost like I’d forgotten about my back. I was able to carry on normal activities, especially with swinging the golf club. It was something that happened over time. Nopalea has allowed me to enjoy my passion

of golf again. It’s a great feeling being able to get up in the morning, go to the golf course, and go out and be able to swing freely. I enjoy my friend’s company on the course now and they even say I’m happier and funnier again. I work hard to play hard! Nopalea has allowed me to get back on the course and play the game I love.

Taking Nopalea means freedom. Freedom to go on the golf course and enjoy what I love to do.”

“Quick fixes do not work. Nopalea gave me my quality of life back.”

“Quick fixes do not work. When I have a limited range of movement and health issues, my attitude just drops off. I noticed I was getting really depressed. I’ve been dealing with body discomfort for a long time, 17 years.

I’ve gone through a life-threatening health issue and I was also in a car accident. Now on top of that age was kicking in, and my body has already gone through a lot.

I wanted the benefits of this product, Nopalea, to work so I decided to do 6oz per day for the first month and it’s done a world of wonder. I’ve been able to start moving around now, and my quality of life has just increased.

The significant signs I’ve seen with Nopalea was I was able to get my energy back and I started having more endurance throughout the day and more time for the kids.

I really wanted something that worked, and I’ve seen so many people talk about a quick fix, and they want immediate results. I’m a huge believer that if you’re going to take something you’re going to take it for the long run. Nopalea was an actual tool for me to have my quality of life back. I stuck with it, I did the loading phase, and now I just maintain my wellness by taking it every single day. It’s been huge and it’s actually made a really big difference in my life. Wellness and wholeness to me is a lifestyle, it’s not just in a bottle. It’s not in a pill.

It’s a lifestyle. It’s taking habits. One of the things I’ve learned is the ten essentials of healthy living that I’ve incorporated in my life on top of taking Nopalea. And it’s done wonders.”

My attitude at work started to increase and being able to move around more, that’s the most important thing.

ith cold and flu season in full swing, your immune system needs all the help it can get to fight harmful microorganisms and keep your body healthy. Your immune system is responsible for defending the body from viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders. If your immune system is weakened, you become more susceptible to infectious agents.

That’s why we’ve formulated a product that incorporates Elderberry, Zinc AND Vitamin C, three crucial ingredients that create one powerful team to defend your health and well-being.

Elderberry, Zinc and Vitamin C have all been shown to boost the immune system’s ability to respond to threats.

Each of these key players contribute to immune health in very specific ways, that when combined, create a formidable defense against symptoms of illnesses.1-4

Supplement for Enhancing Immune Response

Here’s what each ingredient contributes: • Elderberries contain antioxidants that strengthen the immune system’s response to viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have been used to fight cold and flu symptoms.1 • Zinc is a trace mineral that has been called the “gatekeeper of immune function” as virtually all immune cells are dependent on it. The properties of zinc help regulate the immune system so that it responds appropriately.2 • Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that has been shown to prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections by enhancing immune cell function, such as in white blood cells. The antioxidant properties of Vitamin C protect essential molecules in our body from damage. Vitamin C also increases antibody levels, which neutralize pathogens.3

Why Consume These Three Ingredients For Immune Health?

Taking Elderberry, Zinc and Vitamin C through a dietary supplement ensures that you are getting the nutrients you need on a daily basis. These nutrients are essential for immune function and your overall wellness.

Supplementation is especially important as the standard Western diet does not contain all the nutrients our bodies require.4 Older individuals are especially susceptible to infections due to immunosenescence and decreased immune cell function.3 Among this demographic, a deficiency in an essential nutrient like Vitamin C is strongly predictive of all-cause mortality.3 However, older people have been observed to fare significantly better while in the hospital if they are taking supplements than if they do not.3 Because these nutrients are not created or stored naturally in the body, it is essential to supplement or implement them into your daily diet in order to reduce chances of infection.

Vitamin C supplementation has been observed to alleviate the severity, duration and frequency of the common cold.3 Older individuals supplementing Vitamin C while suffering from pneumonia reported less severe respiratory symptoms and experienced shorter stays at the hospital.3 It can even shorten the

time it takes for a wound to heal, reinforcing your body’s ability to defend against viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders from the skin level.3 Vitamin C has a myriad of benefits for immune function upon daily intake.

Zinc is essential for proper immune cell function, making sure that they attack the bad molecules in our body instead of the good ones.2 Zinc deficiency, an issue that affects nearly 30 percent of the elderly population, has been associated with imbalanced immune reactions causing chronic inflammation, allergies and autoimmune diseases.2 Supplementing Zinc can help basic messengers of the immune system, like cytokine molecules, efficiently attack the source of the problem instead of the body itself.2 Elderberry offers antioxidant properties that support the immune response to upper respiratory symptoms associated with common colds and the flu.1 This trifecta of ingredients creates a supportive team for immune response.

Discover the Benefits of Elderberry What is an Elderberry?

An elderberry is a small fruit that can range from a red, blue to deep purple color due to the concentrated presence of antioxidants called anthocyanins, which enhance immune response.1 Elderberries grow in clusters and are best consumed when fully ripe or in a processed form. Our elderberry product contains fruits from the Sambucus nigra L. species, also known as black elderberry. Black elderberries have been traditionally used to treat influenza, common cold infections, diabetes, and other ailments.1

What are the benefits of consuming Elderberries?

The antibacterial, antioxidant and regulatory properties of elderberries have a remarkable effect on our immune system. Extract from the elderberry plant has been observed hindering the effects of influenza viruses, inhibiting them from infecting cells as well as reducing the duration and symptoms when infection has occurred. A commercial product of elderberry extract was demonstrated to have an antibacterial effect against Streptococcus and other kinds of bacteria that cause infections of the upper respiratory system.

Elderberries also benefit the immune system through the regulation and stimulation of cytokine molecules, which stimulate and coordinate immunity. Elderberry extract has been observed to stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines. The inflammation of immune response in those with chronic illnesses decreased by more than 50% when elderberry was utilized.2 Elderberry has specifically been observed to combat cold symptoms such as nasal obstruction, sore throat and cough during air travel, which can aggravate the

34

immune system and respiratory symptoms.3 One study found that air travelers who consume elderberry experienced less days with cold symptoms and less severe symptoms than other air travelers who did not consume elderberry. The study also concluded that elderberries help stabilize physical health during air travel due to the antioxidant properties.3 The authors of the study related the effects of elderberry to the effect of Vitamin C as far as their ability to protect cells from internal and external threats.3

Enhance your wellness with Elderberries The beneficial effects of elderberry demonstrate the importance of consuming ingredients that support immune health. Its properties have an effect on the immune system’s ability to operate and respond properly to foreign agents. It is vitally important to supply the body with the nutrients it needs to experience and maintain wellness. Elderberry also offers a variety of vitamins, such as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B9, C and E, and minerals such as magnesium and potassium.3 All of these incredible properties found in elderberries, especially combined with Vitamin C and Zinc, make our product an essential blend to incorporate into your immunity regiment.
