Nerve Formula™

The perfect diet supplement to help support proper nerve function

Supporting far more than just our sense of touch, the nervous system is our control center and communication network—enabling sharp mental clarity, carefree physical activity and whole-body harmony. The right nutrition can help to optimize this important system.

Broad-spectrum nervous system support

Nerve Formula starts with a balanced serving of A, C and E vitamins; B-complex vitamins; and essential minerals like zinc, copper and magnesium—important nutrients for overall nervous system health. Nerve Formula builds on this foundation with an advanced blend of “neruonutrients” (dietary components that support the nervous system) designed for more targeted nerve concerns.

Preserve nerve health and function with:

Acetyl L-Carnitine: Supports nerve fiber regeneration and helps maintain nerve comfort.1

L-Taurine: Helps maintain nerve-to-nerve communication and nerve membrane integrity.2

Alpha lipoic acid: “Universal Antioxidant” helps protect nerves from negative effects of free radicals (damaging molecules).3

Lecithin & phosphatidylcholine: Helps support neurotransmitters, important for memory and cognitive function.4 Supplying both basic and breakthrough neuronutrients, Nerve Formula is designed to help support nervous system care.

Complete the Trifecta of Gut Health

Have you ever had a gut feeling? Despite the popular phrase, your gut does so much more than bioticshelp you make possibly life-altering decisions. While you may feel an instinct coming from your gut, the gut is responsible for vital functions to the human PRE PRE biotics body, from digestive health to immune health. A properly functioning gut will not only make sure foods are digested properly, but it ensures we have the living good bacteria that keeps our gut balanced to fight any bad bacteria. Think of the gut as a community of bacteria—you want your gut run by the good kind, not the bad kind. This bacteria contributes to immune health and overall well-being as an unhealthy gut can be disruptive to daily life. Prebiotics are important because they are essentially food for probiotics. A prebiotic can be defined as a fermented ingredient that allows specific changes in the composition in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. You may see prebiotics used interchangeably with fiber, and while all prebiotics are fiber, not all fiber is prebiotic.3 That means if you get a lot of fiber from your diet, it Poor gut health can spill over to aspects of your may not be prebiotic. life you may have never thought about. You may not know that poor gut health can be linked to issues that include sleeping troubles, unintentional weight changes and increased inflammation.1 Simply put, good gut health contributes to a typically balanced and well-functioning body, which is what we want to live our best and fullest lives. Benefits of prebiotics An important mechanism for dietary fiber and prebiotics is fermentation in the colon and its ability to change the microflora in the gut.1 Benefits of prebiotics to the body include improvement in gut barrier function, which can help protect against Enter three important aspects to gut health— harmful bacteria, and host immunity and reduction prebiotics, probiotics and enzymes. Each plays an of harmful bacteria.3 Prebiotics can help to reduce essential part in regulating the gut and ensuring the the inflammation and symptoms associated with digestive system runs smoothly. The gut microbiota inflammatory bowel disease.3 It can also promote contains the greatest density of bacteria, which fullness, which can lead to weight loss and prevent makes sense as there’s a relationship between obesity.3 disease, health, the immune system and changes in the microbiota.2 In fact, about 70 percent of your immune system is in the gut. Having prebiotics, probiotics and enzymes as part of a healthy diet may help regulate the gut as they have known benefits for the body.

PRO PRO biotics

Probiotics are probably mentioned the most when

you hear gut health. And there’s a good reason for it as they balance the healthy bacteria for your gut. Probiotics are simply microorganisms that are similar to the beneficial bacteria that’s found naturally in the gut. One study cited that the importance of keeping a healthy microflora became clear at the beginning of the twentieth century when consumption of yogurt with a specific mix of bacteria was associated with an extended lifespan.1-3 Even a definition for a probiotic includes that probiotics must have a beneficial effect on the host to emphasize their microbial function.5

What are these benefits?

Probiotics have numerous positive effects on the human body. Clinical studies have shown that probiotics have a positive effect on gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and even allergic diseases.4 Probiotics have even been demonstrated to increase the body’s immunity.4 Their main advantage is the effect on the development of the microbiota that ensures proper balance between pathogens and bacteria that’s necessary for a normal function of the body.4,5

biotics ENZ ENZymes

Digestion helps to break down food that is consumed so the body can use the nutrients from the food and convert it into energy, growth and cell

repair. Once food is consumed, it needs to be broken down. The digestive system works to break food down by using enzymes, which can be found in the mouth, stomach and small intestine. Digestive enzymes are necessary because they are what works to turn the food into nutrients for the body. Lack of digestive enzymes can lead to malnutrition and poor digestion. Put simply, without enzymes, nutrients that may be present in the body would not be able to be organized into healthy cells and therefore would be wasted. As we get older, our bodies produce less digestive enzymes.6 The three main enzymes are amylase, protease and lipase. Amylase breaks down carbs into simple sugars, protease supports digestion of proteins and lipase supports the breakdown of fats. Since our bodies produce less enzymes as we age, supplementing these enzymes may help our bodies to assist with breakdown of foods. Studies have found that supplementing with digestive enzymes has beneficial effects on the body such as improving nutritional status.7,8

Prebiotics, Probiotics and Enzymes Working Together Containing three of these essential gut nutrients, Flora Complete, TriVita’s new 3-in-1 gut health supplement, helps promote a healthy gut so you can experience overall wellness and well-being.

It’s important to consider a prebiotic, probiotic and enzyme supplement because they ensure your gut is getting the nutrients it needs for a balanced system. Flora Complete contains 60 billion colony-forming units (CFU), has a digestive enzyme complex and an organic prebiotic complex in one capsule. See page 52 The benefit of taking this supplement for gut health is Flora Complete comes in a delayed release capsule. This way, the probiotics can be delivered to the small intestine for optimal results rather than be killed off in stomach acid. A smooth-running digestive system is especially important during seasonal celebration when you may be overindulgent with scrumptious treats and heavy food. If you are having issues with your digestive system, or need some help with digestion, consider the benefits of prebiotics, probiotics and enzymes.
