Michael and Susan Ellison

TriVita joyfully shares

That was a proclamation in the heavens over 2000 years ago. Joy to the World! And today we still recognize joy as an eternal gift given to us. The joy of the Lord is our strength as declared in Nehemiah 8:10

I also believe that WELLNESS, physical, emotional and spiritual wellness, brings joy to our lives! It is why we founded TriVita…it is why I say pursue wellness with passion, intention and purpose!!

I consider wellness as the newfound wealth to invest in as I age, as we all age. It is worth investing in and the returns are fantastic as our bodies are designed to support wellness when given the support of nutrients and nurturing actions.

As we close out this year of 2022, I want to express my deep appreciation and gratitude to our members. Your testimonies of greater wellness, and your cards are so inspiring, expressing your appreciation for the quality products and the information we share to help you to be better informed to support your wellness goals. Your continued enthusiasm for the prayers we offer at the end of each phone call is a wonderful gift to me. Yes, gifts of joy!

I am grateful to the dedicated staff at TriVita for their support in serving our members and helping them make the best decisions to support their wellness goals. The Certified Wellness Consultants at TriVita spend hours in product training and being educated in human body systems. It is also why we have never gone retail with our products because we want to deliver information on how our products best interact and support the human body systems.

During December, we are giving, in celebration of Christmas, 5-6X VitaPoints rewards on every order of any combination of products. I hope you will consider our many immune-enhancing products so you may stay well all winter long.

Susan and I, along with all the TriVita staff, pray this will be a special time of year filled with

and peace from above! And we join in chorus with the heavenly host in saying, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and goodwill toward mankind”.

With gratitude, Michael R. Ellison

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

• 20 or less calories per serving

• Naturally flavored

• Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) certified EAA formula

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. "

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.

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

Add in the benefits

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

Advanced vision formula to help you see life more clearly

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.

ENJOY YOUR LIFE MORE, YOU DESERVE IT!

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. 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.

ANTIOXIDANTS ARE YOUR FRIEND

There is good news, however. As we become aware of risk factors happening inside of us, we can take action to reduce them. Studies have shown that we must do something to stop inflammation from getting worse. Antioxidants help promote and maintain good health and support immune function along with maintaining the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients. Chronic inflammation must be neutralized in order to achieve whole-body wellness. Antioxidants are a great way to move forward in his process.

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.

I chose TriVita over so many other vitamins that I have tried in the past and that I see that they are around because of several reasons. One, is the research behind the product. Number two, it's not just about having a handful of vitamins or concentrating on nutrition, but they also encompass the spiritual end of it. And you have a resource there. When I called TriVita and placed my order, the thing that impressed me, I felt like I was talking to somebody who knows me very well. They're so friendly and they want to know a little bit more about me than me just placing an order. Their kindness, their support and their genuine love that comes through the phone makes me feel so comfortable. It was like talking to a good friend. I don't know any other company that does the research nutritionally and takes the time to physically, emotionally and spiritually bring it all together to support a person, to help them and guide them in the very best that they can be.”

is the most common medical condition

vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. In

is for our body and why supplementing is

Vitamin D Helps to Support:

Vitamin D deficiencies are common because of lifestyle choices we make. If you find you are indoors more than outside enjoying the sunshine, then your body will not get the rays it needs in order to make vitamin D. Also, applying sunblock is more common to prevent burns or overexposure to the sun, but this also blocks the sun’s rays from doing what they are meant to do. Another reason to prioritize

vitamin D to your regular regimen is that, as we age, vitamin D3 gets harder to absorb and synthesize. Plus, carrying extra pounds may create vitamin D insufficiency risks. Lastly, keep in mind some

medications may also interfere with Vitamin D

If you experience fatigue, restless sleep, bone aches or pain, feelings of sadness, weakness in muscles, or are prone to getting sick more often, you may be deficient in vitamin D. Also, those with very dark skin are more at risk of deficiency.

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 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

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 PUFA’s as well as the best ratio of omega-3 EPA and DHA which reduces chronic inflammation—the root cause of most diseases.

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 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.

We’re all looking for the lifestyle improvements

not only maintain

outcomes. According to

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,

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 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

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:

• CoQ-10 is necessary in adequate amounts for heart energy metabolism6

• CoQ-10 is a cardiovascular antioxidant that helps protect the heart and blood vessels7

• CoQ-10 supports the function of the blood vessel linings, potentially helping with circulation8

• CoQ-10 may help maintain heartbeat stability and the heart’s blood-pumping efficiency9

• CoQ-10 may help to maintain blood pressure that’s already within normal range10

ELDERBERRY, ZINC & VITAMIN C 3

Crucial Ingredients

With 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

1 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. Keep reading to learn more about elderberries and the specific health benefits they have to offer!”

Your overall system loves B vitamins. They make sure the body’s cells are functioning properly. B12 is probably the most popular of the B vitamins and is vital for neurological functions, energy and red blood cell development, but all of the B vitamins are great for you. Today, let’s talk about the synergistic benefits of how eight individual B vitamins work together to maximize energy and cellular health.

According to the National Institute of Health, B vitamins are primarily responsible for helping your metabolism work properly. B vitamins are dependent on a healthy microbiota in the gut. This shows not only the importance of the synergy of micronutrients working together but also how they rely on gut health.1 Your metabolism involves the chemical processes needed for life, such as making cells, creating energy from the food you eat and breaking down bi-products of energy and waste matter. B vitamins and how they interact with the body are essential to our overall health.

B vitamins are water-soluble, which means that they dissolve in water inside your body and are then easily absorbed into tissue for immediate use. Because B vitamins are so easily absorbed and used, they cannot be stored like fat-soluble vitamins. For this reason, it is important to consume healthy, fresh, unprocessed foods, rich in B vitamins every day. This will also assist healthy microbiota in the gut. Combining foods rich in B vitamins with a healthy gut will maximize optimal digestion and metabolism of vital energy throughout the body. Primary sources of B vitamins in animal products consist of fish, meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. B vitamins can also be obtained from plant sources such as green leafy vegetables, beans and peas.

B Vitamins and their Benefits

B1 Thiamine: Needed for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, 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 and metabolizing carbohydrates and protein while supporting muscle endurance, nerve function, 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 and 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 of these B vitamins work together and are involved in many of the vital functions of the body. Ensuring you are getting adequate amounts of B vitamins daily will enhance overall energy levels and essential vital bodily functions in every stage of life. Cheers to you living with greater energy, vitality and quality of life.

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 infomer cials 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.

“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 enthu siasm 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.

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.

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.”
