A chilling warning…
Our world is on fire with chronic inflammation that threatens all of humanity!
The world is experiencing the most serious physical, emotional and spiritual inflammatory conditions of the last 50 years. I say that not to cause fear but awareness of the pervasive and damaging effects from it.
Most of us have some understanding of the discomfort, pain and, yes, debilitating effects of chronic inflammation in our bodies. But today, emotional inflammation is seriously impacting our youth, as well as the older generations.
Emotional inflammation can be thought of as a persistent state of emotional distress and turmoil that affects our wellbeing. It manifests as unresolved trauma, stress, anxiety and fear that disrupt emotional balance. Chronic stress raises cortisol levels, stimulating the growth of free radicals which can cause inflammation and weaken the body’s antioxidant defense system.
Spiritual inflammation is also at its highest level, with discord among believers and leaders that creates a lack of trust, even causing doubts as to whether the Bible is true and if there is a God.
In a world of 24/7 information saturation, chronic inflammatory behavior is widespread. But, here is the good news! God IS… and, God’s word is truth. And, His word gives us instruction to conquer chronic inflammation whether physically, emotionally or spiritually!
It starts with our thoughts… What are you thinking? I want to present this thought and illustration with you today. It is what I call the Wheel of Wellness. But, it can also be the wheel of illness.
Thoughts create a feeling, which creates your state of being from which words and actions result! There is a reason Philippians 4:8 tells us to think on things that are pure, lovely and praiseworthy!
Have a mindset to conquer chronic inflammation, whether physical, emotional or spiritual! In this catalog you will find help from products formulated out of God’s creation for helping you live with greater wellness and conquer chronic inflammation. Start with page 3.
Blessings of wellness,
Michael R. Ellison Founder of TriVita

® “And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth” –Genesis 1:29, KJV
The Nopalea story begins on a warm Mexican night as TriVita founder, Michael R. Ellison, sat by a campfire in the Sonoran Desert. Though he couldn’t understand the Seri language of the men around him, he began to feel a sense of awe and recognized that they must be talking about something they deeply revered.
Asking his translator what the men were saying, Michael learned that they were recalling the strength and resilience of their ancestors, ancient desert warriors of renown.
The Seri name roughly translates to “man of the sand.”1 From their sacred island of Isla Tiburón, or “Shark Island,” to their fishing grounds in El Canal del Infiernillo, meaning “Little Hell’s Channel,” the place names where the indigenous Seri people lived bore evidence of the harsh environment in which they dwelt.2
Thriving as hunters and fishermen in an unforgiving land where the desert met the sea, the ancient Seri men were celebrated for their strength, endurance and athleticism. They were also brave and fierce fighters, protecting their people from the threat of neighboring tribes and even defending against European invaders in the 1500s.3
How had the Seri people survived for hundreds of years under such demanding conditions? That night by the fire, Michael was inspired to learn the secret of the Seri’s strength… A gift from God that would soon impact the health and wellness of thousands of hurting people across North America.
On the flight home, Michael’s thoughts turned to his beloved wife, Susan, and the painful effects of chronic inflammation that had plagued her for so long… and remembered his own health crisis that had left him with a death sentence and no medical solution. As he looked out the airplane window and considered the stories of the Seri — along with the promise of God to give us the green herbs of the earth — he
thought to himself, “I believe that somewhere in the Sonoran Desert, there’s a plant that will be prolific and allow sustainable harvesting” that will help fight the dangers of free radicals that may cause chronic inflammation.
“It is a gift from God, and how it was discovered is amazing.”
— Michael R. Ellison
Back in Arizona, Michael went to work to realize his dream of bringing relief to thousands of people living with the often debilitating effects of chronic inflammation. Teaming with university researchers, Michael’s product development team found the miracle plant they’d been believing for. It was the fruit of the Nopal cactus.
Each year, buds begin to appear across the Sonoran landscape, and soon after, the desert explodes with color as the Nopal cactus plants bloom with vibrant red flowers that give way to fruit. The Nopal superfruit virtually bursts with bioflavonoids, a potent class of antioxidants. These powerful antioxidants may treat free radicals, which are inflammatory. Bioflavonoids naturally occur in high concentrations in the Sonoran Nopal cactus fruit. Plants produce bioflavonoids to protect themselves from harsh environments; so, the harsher the environment, the greater the bioflavonoid production. That’s why, among the world’s plants, the Nopal cactus has some of the highest concentrations of bioflavonoids — it lives in the brutally inhospitable conditions of the Sonoran Desert.
The result of this Sonoran saga is TriVita’s Nopalea, a delicious, antioxidant-rich wellness drink that has been clinically shown to help:
• Maintain and support healthy immune function
• Protect against cell damage caused by free radicals, which are inflammatory
• Help detoxify the body, so cells are better energized to repair damaged tissues
Wildcrafting techniques practiced by indigenous Sonorans were employed in the initial selection of which plants and fruits would be best for the Nopalea drink. The team quickly realized, however, that due to the intense desert conditions, a different method would need to be used to preserve the quality of the harvest between the field and press. Ultimately, sustainable farming methods proved to be the right solution for preserving the freshness and nutritional value of the fruit, resulting in the highest quality Nopal puree possible. See page 11 to learn more about the many health benefits of Nopalea.

Do creaky knees and aching joints sound all too familiar? You’re not alone. Arthritis affects millions of people — more than diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke combined. One in five adults deals with joint pain or chronic inflammation, and the numbers are on the rise.1
If you’re looking for hope beyond surgery, neverending pain medication or giving in to a lifetime of pain, you may want to try Opuntia ficus-indica, more commonly known as the prickly pear or nopal cactus.
Native to Mexico, the nopal cactus thrives in the arid and semiarid regions of the Sonoran Desert.2 Discovered centuries ago by the Aztecs, this ancient Mesoamerican culture used the nopal cactus for food and medicine, as well as in their rituals. After Columbus made his way to the New World, sailors began using nopal to treat scurvy, and the prickly pear cactus made its way back across the globe aboard European ships.3
Both the green nopal pads and its colorful fruit are edible, and numerous recipes can be found on the internet. The pads may be cooked or eaten raw, as long as one is careful to remove the spines and barbed glochids. The fruit also may be eaten raw, though it, too, has spines, and it is often used to make juice, jelly and jam.3
To call this amazing plant hardy would be a considerable understatement. Not only does the nopal cactus thrive in extreme heat and drought conditions, it also survives freezing temperatures and soil lacking in nutrients.
Another name for this incredible flora is la planta de vida, or “life-giving plant,” as even its fallen leaves become new plants.4 It is prolific, able to reproduce year round, and an old Mexican adage says, “Whoever has a nopal in his house, will never go hungry.”5
It’s no wonder that people living in extreme desert climates looked to the nopal for sustenance.
TriVita founder Michael R. Ellison discovered the Nopal cactus after meeting the indigenous Seri people of Mexico whose ancestors had relied on its fruit for their incredible strength and resilience. The “fruit” of this meeting, if you will, was TriVita’s Nopalea, a wellness drink brimming with antioxidants and clinically shown to fight the free radicals that cause inflammation. Michael’s wife, Susan, would be one of the first to experience Nopalea’s amazing lifechanging benefits.
A beautiful, petite blonde, Susan was down to earth but loved wearing her high heels. Sadly, side effects from radiation treatments had left her feet terribly inflamed with arthritis, incredibly painful and covered with unsightly knots and red splotches. Every step she took hurt, and she’d been reduced to wearing what she called “comfort shoes.” But, Susan refused to live with daily pain medication. Instead, she tried Nopalea, drinking 3 oz in the morning and 3 more at night. Before long, the redness in her feet began to wane and her pain was all but gone. She recalls, “I just remember walking around and suddenly thinking, ‘I don’t have pain!’” Now, Susan is back to enjoying an active lifestyle and sharing her Nopalea story with everyone she can.
Every month TriVita Members tell us how much they love their Nopalea and how it helps them maintain good health and improves their quality of life.
TriVita Member Josette G. says, “The Nopalea makes my neck and joints feel better, I do not have any more pain,” while Carol C. tells us, “Nopalea helps me feel good, and I have more energy.”
According to Member Deborah D., “Nopalea helps, and I share it . My whole mental health and everything changes, and when I’m sluggish it helps me a lot. It also helps my emotional phase I am going through and helps with mobile skills.”
Finally, Diane J. shares, “Nopalea is so good, I could drink the whole bottle in one sitting Nopalea helps me stay healthy.”
With daily use, Nopalea may improve your quality of life in these ways:
• Helping support healthy immune function
• Helping prevent vitamin C deficiency
• Helping maintain healthy bones, cartilage, teeth and gums
• Helping in wound healing and connective tissue formation
• Providing antioxidants for the maintenance of good health
Why wait another day to start feeling better?
Try Nopalea, a delicious way to support joint health and improve your quality of life.

Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable molecules in the body that can damage cells, cause illness and contribute to aging. Studies have shown that free radicals may be linked to health problems such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. 1
The presence of free radicals in the body is inevitable, as they are created naturally as a result of the body turning food into energy. Free radicals also attack the body from external sources, like air pollution, cigarette smoke, even stress and lack of exercise. Fortunately, we are not defenseless… Antioxidants are the way to fight free radicals and the incredible dangers they pose.
The name “antioxidant” hints at how they help in the fight against free radicals. They work against (“anti”) the oxidative stress (“oxidant”) caused by too many free radical molecules in the body. Without getting too technical with the science, antioxidants donate a portion of their own atoms to the free radicals, thereby neutralizing them and halting the damaging chain reactions they cause. Antioxidants can be found in certain “superfoods” that are rich in particular vitamins and minerals.
Betalains are a rare and powerful class of natural antioxidants, and the Nopal cactus is the only known source of all 24 naturally occurring betalains.2 Native to the Sonoran Desert, the fruit of the Nopal cactus is one of the most powerful sources of antioxidants in all of nature. TriVita’s Nopalea is a nutrient-dense wellness drink that harnesses the antioxidant properties of these Nopal “superfruit” betalains. With daily use, antioxidant-rich Nopalea may neutralize harmful free radicals and help improve your quality of life.
“I tend to have stiffness in my joints (hips, knees) and swelling in the ankles; I’m more flexible, and it has afforded me the ability to walk… I’ll be 79 this November. It makes me feel good, and I don’t want to be without it. I’ve even introduced my sister to Nopalea.” –Judith I.

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
• Overweight. Carrying extra pounds may create vitamin D insufficiency risks.4
Essential D:
Designed for easy absorption, Essential D starts with 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), a bioavailable form that matches what your body produces naturally. Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D3, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.
Vitamin D supports whole-body wellness:
• Helps in the absorption and use of phosphorus
• Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth
• Helps to prevent vitamin D deficiency

We all know that vitamin C is a champ when it comes to fighting colds and flu, but this superstar vitamin’s immunity boosting abilities go even further. Vitamin C is vital to the production and function of white blood cells, which help fight infection and disease. It is also an antioxidant that may help block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which damage healthy cells and cause unhealthy inflammation.

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential vitamin. That means your body needs it but does not naturally produce B12. Therefore, the vehicle for obtaining B12 is through diet and supplements. B12 and all of the B vitamins are necessary for good health. Vitamin B12 plays a key role in cognitive function, supporting bone health, energy levels, normal function of nerve cells and mood. Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps to keep your body’s blood and nerve cells healthy. B12 helps to make DNA, the genetic material in all of your cells, and helps prevent megaloblastic anemia, a blood condition that makes people tired and weak.1 A nutritious diet that includes liver, clams, salmon, beef, tuna, fortified cereal and dairy products will help you get the correct amount of B12, but supplements are an easier and more helpful way to get what you need.
When it comes to brain health, focus on the three Bs: vitamins B6, B12 and B9. “These three types of B vitamins are necessary for the brain’s normal functioning,” says Dr. Agarwal, “and any deficiency in them may increase the risk of memory loss and other forms of cognitive decline.” The reason: These vitamins help to boost the production of transmitters, or brain chemicals, that deliver messages between the brain and body.2
Fortunately for you, TriVita’s Original B-12 includes plenty of B12 (1000 mcg), B6, B7 and B9.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is linked to impaired cognition, memory loss, vision problems and dementia symptoms. You can learn your vitamin B12 levels by asking your primary care physician to check your levels during a regular checkup or when you get your blood work during your regular checkup. Some signs of vitamin B12 deficiency are:3
• A Pale Yellow Tinge to Your Skin
• A Sore and Red Tongue (Glossitis)
• Mouth Ulcers
• Pins and Needles (Paraesthesia)
• Changes in the Way that You Walk and Move Around
• Disturbed Vision
• Irritability
• Depression
A healthy diet and a good vitamin B12 supplement are very important for your overall wellness.

So does vitamin B12 give you energy? The big-picture answer is, yes. While B12 doesn’t directly provide energy, it does give the body the tools it needs to convert food molecules into energy. Getting the recommended daily amount of B12 can, therefore, help ensure that the body is able to make the energy required to do everything you need it to do. Additionally, getting the recommended daily amount can help prevent some of the symptoms associated with a B12 deficiency, like fatigue or insomnia.4
B12 doesn’t provide energy like coffee does because B12 does not contain caffeine. The similarity between the two is that they both work with the nervous system. They both produce energy and decrease fatigue, but in very different ways.5 Vitamin B12 helps the body convert the food you consume into glucose, which gives you energy.6
Older adults are more likely to be deficient in B12, because your body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12 is reduced. A supplement is a great way to make sure you have enough B12 as well as other B vitamins.

Welcome to the world of vitamins, where tiny molecules make big impacts on our health!
The following spotlights our three superheroes: vitamins B6, B9 and B12. You might wonder, "What's so special about these vitamins?" Well, let's dive into their superpowers, especially how they help fight off the bad guy known as "inflammation."
What is inflammation?
Imagine you're playing your favorite sport, and suddenly, you get a small cut. Soon, the area becomes red and puffy. That's inflammation in action! It's your body's way of saying, "Hey, I got an owie, and I'm fixing it." While a little inflammation helps us heal, too much of it for too long can be like having a superhero stuck in overdrive — not so good.
The Super Trio: B6, B9 and B12 to the rescue!
Now, let's meet our heroes who help keep inflammation in check:
Vitamin B6 - The Protector
Vitamin B6 is like the bodyguard of our immune system. It helps our body make something called "antibodies." These are like the body's soldiers that fight off infections. B6 makes sure our soldiers are strong enough to fight the bad guys but also smart enough to know when to relax.
Vitamin B9 - The Balancer
Next up, vitamin B9, also known as folate or folic acid when it's added to foods. It's the balancer, helping our body create new cells and repair DNA. But, here's where it gets cool for fighting inflammation: B9 makes sure the cells that control inflammation are working just right. Not too much, not too little, just perfectly balanced.
Vitamin B12 - The Energy Booster
Lastly, vitamin B12 is like the energizer. It helps make DNA for new cells, keeps your nerve cells happy and helps produce energy. When it comes to inflammation, B12 ensures that our immune system has the energy it needs to fight off the bad guys without going overboard.
What makes B6, B9 and B12 so special is how they work together. They're like a superhero team that makes sure our body's response to injuries or infections is just right. By working in harmony, they help maintain healthy inflammation levels, which means we heal better and stay healthier.
You might be thinking, "How do I make sure I have these superheroes on my team?" Great question! You can find them in foods like:
Vitamin B6: Chicken, fish, potatoes, chickpeas and bananas
Vitamin B9: Leafy greens, fruits and nuts
Vitamin B12: Meat, fish and certain types of dairy products
Eating a balanced diet with these foods can help you keep your vitamin levels in superhero shape.
Vitamins B6, B9 and B12 play crucial roles in helping our bodies heal the right way, protecting our health and ensuring we’re always ready to face the day’s challenges. Sadly, eating a balanced diet that includes these superhero vitamins doesn’t always do the trick. For optimal benefits, consider adding TriVita’s B vitamin hero to your daily routine: Alfred Libby’s Original B-12.

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 byproducts 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 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 optimize 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 leafy green vegetables, beans and peas.

B1 (Thiamine): Needed for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, and blood sugar regulation, as well as nerve and muscle function.2
B2 (Riboflavin): Needed for carbohydrate metabolism, red blood cell growth and development, and cellular function.3
B3 (Niacin): Converts food into energy, creates and repairs DNA, supports healthy cholesterol levels and maintains cognitive function.4
B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Especially important for breaking down fats, metabolizing carbohydrates and protein, and supporting muscle endurance, nerve function and cognitive function.5
B6 (Pyridoxine): Cardiovascular, brain and nerve support, as well as protein metabolism.6
B7 (Biotin): Converts carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy and supports skin, hair and nails.7
B9 (Folic Acid): Protein metabolism, needed for making DNA and other genetic material for cell replication. Especially important during pregnancy.8
B12 (Cyanocobalamin, Methylcobalamin): Protein and fat metabolism, cardiovascular support, nerve fiber support, cognitive support, formation of hemoglobin and prevention of anemia.9
All these B vitamins work together and are involved in many of the vital functions of the body. Ensuring you get adequate amounts of B vitamins daily will enhance overall energy levels and vital bodily functions in every stage of life. Cheers to you living with greater energy, vitality and quality of life.

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.
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.

VisionGuard is packed with eye-supportive antioxidants that help to:
• Maintain eyesight in conditions (associated with sunlight damage), such as cataract and age-related macular degeneration
• Reduce the risk of developing cataracts
• Improve macular pigment optical density
It all starts with FloraGLO® lutein and zeaxanthin: botanical antioxidants that support vision health,1,2 but decline in our eyes with age. 3 These two key antioxidants:
• Migrate naturally to the eyes, settling in the lens, macula and “high-definition” fovea4
• Act as internal sunglasses, filtering and absorbing the sun’s macula-damaging UV rays5,6
• Replenish macular pigment, a protective retinal layer tied to crystal-clear vision7,8
PLUS:
Antioxidants alpha lipoic acid (ALA), N-Acetyl-LCysteine, Vitamin C, natural Vitamin E and zinc.
Why does VisionGuard use FloraGLO® lutein?9
The most clinically researched lutein brand in the world, FloraGLO® promotes vision health by helping defend from free radicals, potentially reduce the effects of eye aging, absorbing harmful UV rays, increasing the retina’s protective macular pigment and reducing sensitivity to glare and blindingly bright light.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential and required for human life. While many know the importance of omega fatty acids as part of a healthy lifestyle, it hasn’t been clear how low amounts of fatty acids in the blood are also linked to all types of death, including heart disease and cancer, until now. A recent analysis1 consisting of 17 perspective studies and consisting of more than 40,000 participants over 16 years has shown a 15-18% lowered risk of all causes of death based on higher polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the blood. It is important to detect early signs of omega-fatty acid deficiencies for supplement therapy to aid in reducing the incidence of disease and risk of premature death1,2
While the analysis does not show how polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were consumed by each participant, it’s important to recognize the best sources. The best sources of PUFAs are found in sea life, mostly cold-water fish. Fish have the highest concentrations of PUFAs as well as the best ratio of omega-3 EPA and DHA, which reduces chronic inflammation—the root cause of most diseases.
protection. There are 100 billion neurons that make up your brain consisting of 60% PUFAs, and every cell in the human body has a cell membrane made of PUFAs. We are made entirely out of cells, and cellular performance is key to maintaining optimal health.
Quality fish oil supplements have an excellent ratio of omega-3 EPA and DHA and come without the harmful toxins such as mercury found in fish. A study in the UK shows taking fish oil supplements lowers the risk of cardiovascular and all diseases across 427,000 participants.3 “The Heart and Soul” study4 shows that lower levels of whole blood EPA and DHA levels are associated with all causes of mortality and a slower rate of telomere shortening over a 5-year period. Accelerated telomere shortening is associated with a shorter lifespan.
Omega-3 fatty acids 3, 6 and 9 also contribute to multiple biological roles, such as influencing inflammation, reducing oxidative stress and presenting neuroprotection and cardiovascular
We’re all looking for the lifestyle improvements we can make to not only maintain but improve our health outcomes. According to this analysis, we can live a longer, fuller life with less disease by managing the omega-3 levels in our blood. Because omega-3s have a powerful influence on the health of every cell we have, we can expect to have more energy, vitality and quality of life to continue to do the things we love longer.

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

Many people believe that muscle loss and slow recovery are inevitable by products of aging. However, improving how effectively and efficiently your body uses amino acids may help you build and maintain muscle and increase how quickly your body heals at any age. That’s because amino acids are the building blocks for every cell in our body, and they are stored in the muscles until your body needs them to repair itself or to create new, healthy cells. Muscles also store and release lipids that help the body regulate hormones and store energy.
Muscles are not just about strength and physical appearance. Having more muscle improves strength, balance and endurance, and it also helps the body recover from illness and injury more efficiently. When you are sick, your body breaks down muscle tissue to release the amino acids it needs to repair itself.
Our bodies require 20 different amino acids to function correctly. Nine of these, known as essential amino acids, we must obtain from our diet, because the body cannot produce them. The amount of muscle you have determines the reserve of amino acids available to repair your body.
About 20% of the amino acids released during protein breakdown cannot be reused, so it's crucial to replace those lost amino acids. To build muscle and other specialized proteins, our bodies need to produce new proteins faster than old ones break down. This is especially important when recovering from sickness, injury or the effects of harmful pathogens.
Common dietary proteins such as those found in meat, dairy and protein shakes are composed of chains of amino acids that have to be broken down by the body before their amino acids can be used. As we age, our ability to break down protein efficiently decreases, making it harder for older adults to maintain and build muscle mass.
After the age of 30, we start losing an average of 3-8% of our muscle mass per decade. This means that by age 50, we may lose 6-16% of muscle mass, and by age 70, the loss could be as much as 32%. Losing muscle mass increases the risk of weakness, loss of balance, falls, injuries and slower recovery times. However, this decline is not inevitable, and there are steps you can take to maintain your muscle health.
For many people, regular food alone isn’t enough to build and maintain lean muscle, especially as we age. MyoHealth is a supplement that contains all nine essential amino acids. These amino acids are clinically shown to increase lean muscle mass, reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, help balance blood sugar levels, and speed up recovery after injury or surgery. MyoHealth’s formula includes a U.S.-patented blend of essential amino acids supported by 25 human clinical studies.

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.
• Muscle is the main reservoir of amino acids in the body 1
• 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 more than $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, easyto-mix Orange or Berry Crush flavor, MyoHealth powder includes:
• The daily recommended dosage of 3.6 grams of EAAs per scoop
• 20 or fewer calories per serving
• Naturally flavored
• Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)certified EAA formula
“Getting the essential amino acids and getting enough protein is important for building muscle. I have to admit I don’t always get enough protein in my diet. For an athlete, keeping protein is a key factor in making sure I’m keeping muscle strength… As we age, we lose muscle mass, so it’s important to up the protein."
