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 spiritual, emotional and physical health.
SPIRITUAL
Develop a Relationship with God
FROM THE FOUNDER
Michael R. Ellison
Movement is life. And, we desire the best lives for our TriVita Members. Like Jesus said, that you may have life and have it more abundantly. Yes, life spiritually, emotionally and physically.
This month we are featuring our combination of products with TriVita’s Original B-12 along with the Trivita CoEnzyme Q-10. Don’t underestimate the power of CoQ-10 as an antioxidant to combat oxidative stress and the crucial role it plays producing energy in the form of ATP. Please read the article by Dr. Paul on page 6 for more information on the power of combining these products in your daily plan.
These products will not only make you feel like moving but will also give you the vitality and energy to move.
Think of movement as medicine. It will help build lean muscle, which is your organ for longevity. It will help build your immune system, support brain health, improve your cardiovascular system and support digestion, along with helping eliminate waste and toxins from your body. No wonder Harvard Medical Health calls walking your number one prescription for better health.
By combining these two products featured on page 3, they will certainly work together to help power each day with movement. Start your day with TriVita’s B-12 and TriVita’s CoEnzyme Q-10, and then supplement again in the afternoon when you need more energy. You will discover the power of movement to transform your health.
Like Jesus said, that you may have life and have it more abundantly. Yes, life spiritually, emotionally and physically.”
October is a beautiful fall month. I hope you will get outdoors and, yes, move as you enjoy the beauty of fall colors and the rejuvenation of your health.
Blessings of wellness,
Michael R. Ellison Founder and CEO of TriVita

Why Just Sit There? Get Up and MOVE!
Where there is no movement, there is no life.
Did you know that nothing can live in the Dead Sea? Because it sits at the lowest land elevation on Earth, water that flows into the Dead Sea has no outlet. This lack of movement results in a salty, stagnant environment inhospitable to any life besides bacteria.1 Even visitors who enjoy floating in its famously buoyant depths are advised to stay in the water no more than 10 to 15 minutes and never to put their head or face under the water.
Similarities can be drawn between the lifeless waters of the Dead Sea and the health risks associated with a stagnant lifestyle void of movement.
Medical experts have long recognized that a sedentary lifestyle is associated with significant health risks, including heart disease and risk of death from medical problems. Johns Hopkins cardiologist Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S., has even called it the “Sitting Disease.”2
Health Risks Associated with a Sedentary Lifestyle
The dangers of a sedentary lifestyle go beyond crumbs on the couch and an expanding waistline. The Mayo Clinic reports that health concerns linked to sitting for long periods include an increased risk of high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels and high blood sugar, as well as higher risk of death due to cardiovascular disease and even some cancers.3 To combat these ill effects, experts recommend that you stand up and move at least once every 30 minutes.
Top 5 Ways Movement Can Transform Your Health
Getting on the move is about more than just preventing health problems. Movement can relieve pain, reduce inflammation and improve recovery time. The mental, physical and emotional benefits of movement are far reaching and, in many cases, almost immediate. Believe it or not, the more you move, the less pain you will have!
1. Improved Mood – One of the first benefits you may notice is a better mood and less stress, thanks to your body releasing feel-good hormones called endorphins.4
2. More Energy – Moving your body causes your blood vessels to dilate, or open wider, so that oxygen and nutrients can flow more easily to your cells, giving you more energy.4
3. Stronger Bones and Muscle – Exercise may help slow age-related loss of bone density and help you maintain or increase muscle mass.5
4. Reduced Risk of Falls – Balance activities and muscle-strengthening exercisesmay help reduce the risk of falls for older adults.5
5. Increased Life Expectancy – A study of adults over age 45 suggests that those who spent less time sitting had an approximately 50% lower mortality rate than those who were more sedentary.6
Tips on How to Get Moving
What does healthy movement mean for you? It doesn’t have to look like training for a marathon or spending hours in a high-priced gym. Maybe it’s dancing in the kitchen or taking a stroll with your sweetheart. Or, you might like to golf or take a swing at pickleball. Whatever you do, make sure to get up and move at least once every 30 minutes.
If it seems overwhelming or you just don’t know where to start, here are some simple ideas to get you on your feet and moving toward a healthy transformation.
• Set an alarm for 30 minutes to remind yourself to get up and move
• Step outside for a breath of fresh air
• Go for a walk around the block
• Do some gardening or yard work
• Help clean up a local park
• Volunteer at an animal shelter or food pantry
• Park farther from the door
Now, Get Moving
It sounds like a contradiction, but getting up and moving when you don’t have the energy can actually give you the energy you need to move. Movement fuels energy! Don’t let a sedentary lifestyle put your health at risk. Take advantage of the myriad benefits that movement holds for your life. Don’t just sit there… Get up and MOVE!
But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. — Isaiah 40:31, NLT
Movement is life, and that movement requires energy. A study of adults showed that walking 8,000 steps or more for several days each week was linked to a lower risk of heart problems and of dying from any natural cause. The results suggest that people can get many health benefits just by walking a few days each week.1
To help you stay energized and support your active lifestyle, we will discuss how the powerful combination of B vitamins and CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) supports energy production to help get you moving.
Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, as it helps convert food into fuel that your body can use throughout the day. It also supports nerve function and red blood cell formation, making it vital for maintaining your energy levels.2 Vitamin B6 helps the body convert food into glucose, which is used for energy.3
Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is important for helping your body convert carbohydrates into energy and is crucial for proper brain function and mental health.4 Biotin, or vitamin B7, supports metabolism by converting food into energy, ensuring you have the vitality you need for daily activities.5
CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) CoQ-10 is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body combat oxidative stress, which is essential for optimizing energy production at the cellular level. The components of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are found in DNA and RNA. CoQ-10 is required for ATP synthesis and is essential for converting carbohydrates into energy. This powerful antioxidant is also shown to enhance physical performance and support cardiovascular function, ensuring your body can perform at its best.
CoQ-10 is produced naturally by the body, but as we age, its production may diminish. Those taking statin drugs are at greater risk of CoQ-10 depletion and may benefit from taking TriVita’s CoEnzyme Q-10.6
Together, B vitamins and CoQ-10 create a powerhouse supplement that helps you stay active and energized. Remember, movement is life, and with B vitamins plus CoQ-10, you can keep moving and transforming your health for the better.

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.
Teamwork makes the dream work
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.
How to get these superheroes in your diet
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.
The bottom line
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.
Feel rejuvenated: Boost your energy with CoEnzyme Q-10
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.

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH OMEGA-3?
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.
Premium fish oil concentrate for heart, brain and joint support
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are among the most important brain 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

The Fascinating Story Behind Nopalea®
The Secret to Strength and Resilience in a Harsh Land: The Seri People and the Nopal Cactus
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.
An Ancient People Thriving in a Harsh Land
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
A Gift from God for Wellness
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 Ruby Red Opuntia ficus indica... 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.
Nopalea, Harnessing the Natural Power of the Nopal Fruit
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.

— Diane R.
I am 87 this month. I take Nopalea,... and it is the best thing I ever had in my life. It keeps me moving… I share it with my family, and they are doing better, too! ...Nopalea is a blessing. I rate Nopalea 5 stars, the highest one!”

Fight Free Radicals That May Cause
Inflammation
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. 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.
The Nopal fruit is so rich in antioxidants because the plant needs them in order to survive in the Sonoran Desert, the harshest desert environment in all of North America. So, when you take Nopalea, you might think of it as the amazing Nopal cactus passing its resilience and ability to fight free radicals on to you.
WITH DAILY USE, NOPALEA MAY HELP:
• Neutralize free radicals, which are responsible for inflammation
• Reduce oxidative stress that can lead to damaged proteins, cell membranes and DNA
• Support immune function and help wound healing

A Treasure from the Desert: The Nopalea Superfruit
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.
The Nopal Cactus in History & Culture
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
Resilience in the Harshest Conditions
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’s Nopalea® Supplement:
Susan’s Story
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.

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.”
The Benefits of Nopalea

• Helping support healthy immune function
• Helping prevent vitamin C deficiency

ANTIOXIDANTS FIGHT FREE RADICALS
What Are Free Radicals?
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 Role of Antioxidants
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.
Nopalea® May Help
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.

“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.

Vitamin D: The Sunshine Vitamin for Your Wellness
Navigating the Vital Role of Vitamin D in Strengthening Bones, Shielding Against Illness and Promoting Vitality
In the land of maple leaves and snowy landscapes, one vital nutrient often doesn’t get the attention it deserves: vitamin D. While we may be well-versed in the importance of layering up against the cold, many are unaware of the crucial role that vitamin D plays in their overall health and well-being.
Exposure to Sunlight
Vitamin D, often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” is unique in that it can be synthesized by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. But during the fall and winter months when sunlight can be scarce, maintaining adequate levels of this vitamin becomes particularly challenging.
But why is vitamin D so important? Well, it’s not just about bone health, although that’s certainly a significant aspect. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, promoting strong bones and teeth, which is especially crucial as we get older and bone density decreases and the risk of falling increases.
Vitamin D Helps Support:
• Immune System Health
• Healthy Bones & Bone Density
• Muscle Health
Benefits Beyond Bone Health
The benefits of vitamin D extend far beyond bone health. Research suggests that adequate levels of vitamin D may also play a role in immune function.
So, how can you ensure you’re getting enough of this essential nutrient? While sunlight is the most natural source of vitamin D, it’s not always feasible, especially during the winter or for those who spend most of their time indoors. That’s where dietary sources come into play. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel are excellent sources of vitamin D, as are fortified foods such as milk, orange juice and breakfast cereals. For those who struggle to get enough vitamin D through sunlight and diet alone, supplementation can be essential, particularly during the winter months.
TriVita’s Essential D™
Each Essential D serving contains 1,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, the same form of vitamin D your body produces, so it’s easy to absorb. With its simple one-a-day dosage in an easy-to-swallow soft gel, Essential D makes it easy to get this sunshine vitamin that plays such a crucial role in keeping us healthy and resilient, even through the darkest of days.
Essential D™
Easy-to-swallow soft gels packed with a healthy dose of vitamin 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
• 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

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. 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

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 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."
– Nancy Kummen, Age 73 Award-winning triathlete, certified swim instructor and lifeguard
