Age Spots, Digestion, Sleep |
|
| |
I
have been taking the coral calcium for approximately 4 months and
as I was putting on hand cream the other day, I noticed that my age
spots were lighter and almost completely gone, I was just
amazed and couldn't believe my eyes, my daughter notices everything
and she said Mom, your spots are going away. So, I am pretty happy
with the product, also have noticed my digestion is much better
and I sleep better at night I usually take my last pill of
the day at bedtime. That's it for now, hopefully will have more things
to report later. |

Fibromyalgia
Immunity |
|
| |
I
have been taking Coral Calcium now for five months. Three in the
morning and three at bedtime. I have had fibromyalgia for
11+ years and so I don't expect it to go away over night.
My muscles are so tender and have the classic lumps. So far, I have
not gotten any relief from the Coral Calcium for fibromyalgia, BUT
I found that my immunity is so much better. Since
I started taking it, I have not been sick with a virus or
bug even for one day. My family have gone through several
bad colds and flu's but I rode it through without even a sore throat.
I usually get everything the family gets. And when you get sick
on top of having FMS, you really go under for a while and it takes
along time to resurface.
So for that alone, I am sooo thankful. I feel my immunity is almost
bullet proof. I am still waiting to see it work for my FMS, but
am convinced that it is an excellent product. |

Shoulder
Pain |
|
| |
Previous
to taking TrueBlue Coral Calcium I had barely any range of
motion in my right shoulder. It was difficult to take off
my coat, cook dinner or to lift my grandchild. It was really taking
a bite out of my day not being able to move like I used to. After
I started taking the coral calcium I noticed that I could rotate my
shoulder much easier as the days and weeks went on. Now I
am back again painting walls and enjoying my life again. Thank you
TrueBlue!.

Finish off your Multivitamin, 'The Kitchen Sink™' is Coming! |
|
 |
 |
|
 |

You
would not believe how many of you have asked us the logical question
“What is the best multi-vitamin supplement to go with TrueBlue™?”.
The answer (usually preceded by considerable head scratching) has
been “I don’t know of one that I can really recommend”. It only makes
sense to have an excellent multi-vitamin to complement the best multi-mineral,
right?.
You see there are several major problems in recommending a good multivitamin.
First, United States regulations regarding Health Supplements are
so lax that you seldom get what is on the label. "We have all
read the articles where vitamin brands have been tested by watch dog
groups and exposed for having little or none of the ingredients listed
on the label actually inside the bottle." Not that long ago 70%
of Melatonin brands were found to contain absolutely no Melatonin.
Second, even if you get what it says on the label, the amounts of
vitamins are at RDA levels or below. The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance)
is set at the lowest level required to barely prevent disease. For
example, RDA for vitamin C is 60 mg – just enough to prevent scurvy,
but far from the optimal amount needed for excellent health which
is 10 times that amount or more. In other words most multi-vitamins
have lower levels of vitamins than are required for optimal health.
Third, most formulas don’t take advantage of recent clinical research
on anti-aging ingredients such as CoQ-10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, L-Carnitine,
Grape Seed extract, etc. A few put a token amount in just so they
can have it on the label, but not at therapeutic levels.
Finally, it is impossible to recommend you go to your Health Food
Store to pick up a great multi-vitamin because a product with the
best vitamins and anti-aging ingredients at full therapeutic levels
would be approaching $150 a bottle!
You see, it works like this. The manufacturer begins with an extremely
expensive product and then the price gets multiplied several times.
Usually he sells to a distributor for a mark up and the distributor
sells to the Health Food Store and most Health Food stores double
their cost to sell to you. On top of that is a sizeable advertising
campaign, plus it has now been shipped twice, and voila, you have
a $150 bottle of vitamins… and it probably wouldn’t sell. That is
why you cannot find a truly great multi-vitamin in a health food store.
That’s why you see Health Food Stores carry a “premium quality” multivitamin
sold for maybe $40 and CoQ-10 sold separately for $30 and Alpha Lipoic
Acid sold separately for $25, L-Carnitine sold for…well, you get the
picture. If you put all the good stuff in one bottle, it really gets
out of reach.
So Jeanne and I got to thinking, we could make a multivitamin that
fits all the criteria. We will manufacture it in Canada where the
Federal Government classifies vitamins as drugs and they are subject
to the strictest testing requirements in the world so that you know
you are getting what it says on the label. We will make it at levels
higher than RDA - at full therapeutic doses so you get enough to make
you feel great. We will also make it an anti-aging product that has
every scientifically proven ingredient in it, again, at full therapeutic
doses.
And best of all, we don’t have any distributor to mark it up or any
retail store to take the distributor price and double it. And since
we just offer it to you via an email there are virtually no ad costs,
so we don’t have to sell it for $150 a bottle, we can sell it for
less than $50!
This super multi-vitamin/Anti-aging formula is appropriately called
“The Kitchen Sink™” and it will be ready in about 30 days. So, finish
off those multi-vitamins and set aside a few dollars as we will have
a “sharp pencil” introductory offer for you. I promise you will want
to stock up. You know our policy is to have everyday low pricing and
the only time we do specials is to introduce a new product for a very
short period of time. Watch your email box or our web site for details
in about a month.

Q & A: |
|

 |
|
 |
| |
| |
| Q |
Have any studies been done on absorption of calcium
from coral? |
| A |
Yes,
peer reviewed, published studies available show Calcium from
Coral has superior absorption compared to Calcium Carbonate.
In a small, but well controlled study, Dr. Kunihiko Ishitani
reports superior absorption of calcium from Coral in food compared
to calcium carbonate. Other carefully controlled feeding studies
performed at the Universities of Rukuyuku and Okinawa have shown
calcium absorption from coral calcium in experimental animals
was better than absorption of calcium from milk, hydroxiapatite
or calcium carbonate. Even if Calcium absorption from Coral
was the same as from other calciums, it would still be 72 minerals
ahead.
|
| Q |
What is the difference between Chelated, Colloidal
and Ionized Minerals? |
| A |
Dr
Bob Owen Ph.D, D.Sc answers this in his book, "Why Calcium".
He says "Chelate is a Greek word meaning to "claw
or grasp" and bond with another substance. A chelated
mineral is one that has bonded with an amino acid molecule.
Your body recognizes this process and enables both the mineral
and the amino acid to be absorbed.
A colloidal
mineral has been "suspended" in a liquid molecule,
usually water. Recognizing water as a necessary element, the
body allows the water, along with the mineral to be transported
into the cells by diffusion and osmosis
Ionized
minerals are electrically charged molecules, 1000 times smaller
than chelates or colloids. These ionized minerals are easily
absorbed into the blood and quite readily pass through cellular
membranes and into the interstitial (inner) cell fluid. Calcium
from Coral becomes ionized immediately when it touches liquid.
Ionized minerals, calcium included, are nearly 100% bio-available.
|
| Q |
Will Coral Calcium help my blood pressure? |
| A |
The
National Library of Medicine has summarized multiple studies
to conclude that supplemental calcium does have a positive effect
on lowering blood pressure. Here is the article for you:
Effects
of dietary calcium supplementation on blood pressure. A meta-analysis
of randomized controlled trials.
Bucher
HC, Cook RJ, Guyatt GH, Lang JD, Cook DJ, Hatala R, Hunt DL.
Department
of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, McMaster University
Medical Center, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
OBJECTIVE:
To review the effect of supplemental calcium on blood pressure.
DATA SOURCE: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for 1996 to May
1994. We contacted authors of eligible trials to ensure accuracy
and completeness of data and to identify unpublished trials.
STUDY
SELECTION: We included any study in which investigators randomized
people to calcium supplementation or placebo and measured
blood pressure for at least 2 weeks. Fifty-six articles met
the inclusion criteria, and 33 were eligible for analysis,
involving a total of 2412 patients.
DATA EXTRACTION:
Two pairs of independent reviewers abstracted data and assessed
validity according to six quality criteria. DATA SYNTHESIS:
We calculated the differences in blood pressure change between
the calcium supplementation group and the control group and
pooled the estimates, with each trial weighted with the inverse
of the variance using a random-effects model. Predictors of
blood pressure reduction that we examined included method
of supplementation, baseline blood pressure, and the methodological
quality of the studies. The pooled analysis showed a reduction
in systolic blood pressure of -1.27 mm Hg (95% confidence
interval [CI], -2.25 to -0.29 mm Hg; P=.01) and in diastolic
blood pressure of -0.24 mm Hg (95% CI, -0.92 to 0.44 mm Hg;
P=.49). None of the possible mediators of blood pressure reduction
explained differences in treatment effects.
CONCLUSIONS:
Calcium supplementation may lead to a small reduction in systolic
but not diastolic blood pressure. The results do not exclude
a larger, important effect of calcium on blood pressure in
subpopulations. In particular, further studies should address
the hypothesis that inadequate calcium intake is associated
with increased
blood pressure that can be corrected with calcium supplementation.
