Nutritional Supplements-Multi Billion Dollar Business

My Diabetes

Nutritional supplements are in every home. There are miles of floor spaces devoted to nutritional supplements in retail stores. Health food stores are popping up in neighborhoods across the globe everyday. New multi level marketing companies form every year. Nutritional supplements, vitamins, diet products, energy supplements and alternative medicines have become a multi billion dollar industry.

Why has this become such a thriving industry?

Take a look at the people around you and what do you see? We are a society of people on the run and lack of time to keep ourselves healthy. Go to any elementary school and see how many students are over weight.

The average person gets up in the morning and rushes to eat something quick before they run out the door to start there busy day. Then a quick lunch from a fast food stop close to work or a microwave lunch in the company break room. The end the day is a large meal, before retiring in front of the television for the evening. Not counting the several soda pops or energy drinks, accompanied with some sort of candy.

After several years of this type of behavior we are all in search of the magic potion that can reverse the years of abuse. Over weight, out of shape, run down and looking for the youth we once had. We look to the shelves in the store for something to transform us and cure us from the elements that plague us.

Many times it is too late to reverse the effects of a poor diet and lack of exercise. But it is never too late to try and you may even thank yourself for making it happen.

Diabetes and heart disease can be the result of poor diet, over weight and lack of exercise. Dropping the weight, controlling your diabetes and adding exercise can reduce the later complications of diabetes a whopping 56%. Diabetes can not be cured but it can be controlled and the benefits are well worth it.

There are many nutritional supplements that say they can reverse the effects of diabetes. Many people look for the easy path to deal with this disease. Taking a few medications and a hand full of supplements is much easier than changing their life style. The multi billion dollar industry then thrives.

Nutritional supplements are a well needed product in out lives. They can help almost every person in some way. Getting the right balance of nutrients is very important. Many of the process foods we eat lack the proper nutrients that were once in them. There are thousands of different products on the market that can help but it is finding the proper balance of vitamins and minerals. Each of us may need different nutrients based on the foods we eat.

It is easy to get over whelmed with the information that is available on nutritional products that are available today. The American Diabetes Associates or a diabetic nutritionist is the best place to start if you are dealing with diabetes.
If you have diabetes and want to create this healthier life style don't forget the ultimate combination.

1. Get to your proper weight
2. Eat a proper diet that is suited for people with diabetes
3. Exercise every day
4. Get the proper nutrients that your body needs.

I am the person I described in the beginning of this article. My life style was very poor and now I have diabetes to help me live a better and healthier life style. My endocrinologist told me on my first visit that, if I followed this plan I would be healthier and fell better than I ever had. One year later I will agree. I have a disease to deal with the rest of my life but it is controllable with the proper combination.

I am a firm believer in nutritional supplements. A combination of supplements has made a big difference in managing my diabetes. To read more about my success and my experiment with supplements go to my Diabetic Help Blog.

This post is going to be a little long but I want to cover my journey, experimenting with my diabetes, over the past year. If you have read any of my later posted you will know that I have found success controlling my diabetes with exercise, proper eating and a strong antioxidant. Well I decided that if I am going to take a MLM product I just as well try them all and find the best one. But I wanted to find the one that helped me the most so I could share my findings with others..

Well I have tried Xango, Monivie, Noni, Acai, Zrii, Agel, Goji, Kyani and several local health store products. Most of these worked very similar and Kyani Sunrise was the one I used the longest. But with the antioxidant I was adding several other vitamins and minerals. This worked very well; I was able to go from an A1C of 11.7 to an A1C of 4.7 in less than a year. I also have reduced my medications to almost nothing. I am thinking of trying without but I want to talk to my doctor first.

But my experiment took a turn several months ago. I was trying a product called Mistica from Synergy Worldwide and had decided to try the whole V3 system. It had most of the vitamins and minerals I was adding to my antioxidant. I than began to study the main product of the V3 system called ProAri 9. This product is a complex mixture of products with the key ingredient of L-arginine.

L-arginine produces nitric oxide in the body which does amazing things for our circulator system. Heart disease and or circulation are the leading cause of complication for people with diabetes. Dr. Louis J. Ignarro won the Noble Prize in 1998 for the discovery of the importance of nitric oxide and what it does to our cardiovascular system. He has published a book about his findings called No More Heart Disease. (The link to this book is in my previous post) This is a great read for anyone concerned about heart disease and it should be for all of us, because 50% of Americans will suffer heart complication sometime in their life.

Anyway I started the V3 system the first January 2009 and have been amazed at how much better I feel. At first I was concerned because the ProArgi 9 would spike my blood sugar but now it does not affect it much. I am now just taking the V3 system without any other vitamins or minerals, except alpha lipid acid which is not in the V3 and is important to people with diabetes. The taste is not as good as some of the other products I tried but a minor trade of for better health.

All people with diabetes react differently to different foods, nutrient and medications so it may not work the same for everyone. Whether you have diabetes or not the Synergy Worldwide V3 system has the proper blend needed for a health body.

Sense I have been checking these products out I have heard some amazing stories from people taking products from all the companies I have mentioned. People are getting help from their poor health or medical problems. So why can't the government and medical groups endorse these products and stop providing everyone with medications with terrible side effects. Many are skeptical of Multi Level Marketing products but I will assure you that I have found results and millions of others have too.

Diabetes and or heart disease will affect you or someone near you in your life. Whether you have been diagnosed or not, now is the time to make a difference. I am on a quest to tell every person I can about what I have experienced. If you want to know more about my experience with diabetes and the products I take please e-mail me at stevefeller21@msn.com and tell me what you want to know. If you want to talk to me e-mail your phone number and I will call you as soon as I can. I would leave a number but I do work everyday and would most likely not be able to talk.

I hope this article will find the people that are looking for a healthier way to control diabetes, heart disease or just a better life.

ProArgi-9 Plus is Synergy's top selling product and the cornerstone of any nutritional regimen. One serving contains 5,000 mg (5 grams) of elemental pharmaceutical grade l-arginine. Often referred to as the "miracle molecule," l-arginine has potent health-enhancing properties.

The remarkable properties of l-arginine were validated by the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine, Louis J. Ignarro, which as recently authored the book No More Heart Disease. This has created a frenzy of interest in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. The efficacy of l-arginine as a therapeutic agent has been validated by thousands of scientific clinical studies.

ProArgi-9 Plus was formulated in collaboration with leading l-arginine researchers such as J. Joseph Prendergast and other cardiovascular specialists who have conducted pioneering research in the proper application of l-arginine in promoting cardiovascular health. These experts have helped create the best l-arginine product on the market.

L-arginine is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. In the body, l-arginine is converted to nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels. This reduces stress on the heart and improves circulation. L-arginine is the body's major source for nitric oxide synthesis. Without nitric oxide, human life would not be possible. L-arginine also reduces blood viscosity. Scientific studies have shown that l-arginine significantly reduces blood pressure levels.

L-arginine also enhances health in a number of other ways. It improves immune function, stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH), promotes healthy sexual function, may boost energy levels, helps to build muscle, and reduces adipose tissue body fat.

ProArgi-9 Plus is a unique product with great taste, far-reaching health benefits, and powerful support for the cardiovascular system. With ProArgi-9 Plus, you're giving your body the support necessary for a long, healthy life.

Ingredients

L-arginine
L-arginine is a vital amino acid that plays a role in a number of physiological functions in the body, but is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. In the body, l-arginine is converted to nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels and regulates blood vessel tone and flexibility. This reduces stress on the heart, improves circulation, and lowers blood pressure.

Citrulline
The amino acid citrulline is metabolized to yield more l-arginine, which in turn provides additional nitric oxide. Citrulline helps to optimize blood flow throughout the body and promote healthy energy levels.

Folic Acid, Vitamins B6 and B12
These ingredients work together to naturally decrease homocysteine levels.

Red wine extract
This ingredient is high in antioxidants, anthocyanins, and polyphenols, which help protect the heart and reduce LDL oxidation.

Pomegranate
Pomegranate contains superior antioxidants, known as punicalagins and ellagic acid. Pomegranate inhibits LDL oxidation, supports arterial wall strength, and enhances the activity of eNOS, the enzyme responsible for converting l-arginine to nitric oxide.

Vitamin K2
This vitamin keeps calcium in the bones and out of the arteries.

Vitamin D3
This vitamin has long been known to aid in calcium absorption, but new research shows that D3 also plays a role in healthy cardiovascular function and supports healthy inflammatory response.

Ribose
Ribose is a naturally occurring sugar that has been extensively studied for its ability to enhance the recovery of energy compounds in heart cells.

Xylitol
This ingredient is a low glycemic sweetener that occurs naturally in the body. Unlike other sweeteners, xylitol has been shown to promote saliva production providing protection against tooth decay.

Questions

Q1. How does the new ProArgi-9 Plus cross the blood brain barrier?
A: The brain contains transport systems for neutral, dibasic, and dicarboxylic amino acids. As in other cells, amino acids may compete for uptake by a common carrier system.1 L-arginine is a dibasic amino acid. A "rider" is not necessary for l-arginine to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Q2. Are there any age limits for taking ProArgi-9 Plus?
A: It is generally recommended that persons under the age of 18 shouldn't use l-arginine supplements because specific studies on children have not been conducted.

Q3. How does ProArgi-9 Plus provide anti-aging benefits?
A: L-arginine supplementation has been shown to encourage the pituitary gland to release human growth hormone (hGH).2 As the body ages, hGH levels decrease. L-arginine provides anti-aging benefits by boosting natural hGH production.

Q4. Is ProArgi-9 Plus safe to use?
A: Ingredients in ProArgi-9 Plus have a history of safe use. As with any dietary supplement, when being treated for a medical condition, always consult with your health care provider regarding your use of ProArgi-9 Plus.

The caution on the ProArgi-9 Plus label states:
Consult your health care provider prior to using this product if you are pregnant, nursing or have a known medical condition including cancer, diabetes, herpes, coronary artery disease, or have had a heart attack. Consult your health care provider before use if you take any medications including those for diabetes, high blood pressure, heart conditions, or erectile dysfunction.

Q5. What about the protocols? Does this new version have special instructions?
A: The new ProArgi-9 Plus is easy to use and requires no complicated protocols. Just mix one serving with water once a day (preferably on an empty stomach) and enjoy. It's that easy!

Q6. What are the Human Growth Hormone benefits of ProArgi-9 Plus?
A: L-arginine is a human growth hormone (hGH) or secretagogue. The body uses l-arginine as a stimulant to release hGH. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.

Q7. Do you have to take ProArgi-9 Plus on an empty stomach to get the benefits?
A: For maximum benefit, ProArgi-9 Plus should be taken on an empty stomach. The main component, l-arginine, enters the enterocytes through what is called the dibasic amino acid transport system.1,3 This system has a high affinity and low capacity.4 This means that a limited amount of l-arginine can be transported from the digestive tract to the blood via these transporters at any given time. Additionally, it must share these transporters with other amino acids such as l-lysine, l-ornithine, and l-cysteine.3 Foods and beverages containing these amino acids can lead to saturating this transport system and having any excess to go unabsorbed and create gastrointestinal distress.

Many other amino acids are taken up by the enterocytes much quicker than dibasic amino acids. Because of this, the body may recognize the l-arginine as part of the ingested protein and use it for functions other than a precursor for nitric oxide or secretagogue for hGH. This dilution of l-arginine's potential effects is further enhanced by additional dietary components such as fiber or simple sugars, which can reduce the rate of the digestive and absorptive process.5 All benefits are certainly not lost by taking ProArgi-9 Plus with foods or beverages, but those benefits may be reduced.

Q8. Can diabetics take ProArgi-9 Plus?
A: Supplementing with l-arginine may affect blood sugar levels. Patients taking oral drugs for diabetes or using insulin should be monitored closely by their health care provider while using arginine. Dosing adjustments may be necessary.

Q9. How does the Vitamin D3 in ProArgi-9 Plus benefit me?
A: Vitamin D3 has long been known to aid in calcium absorption, but new research shows that D3 also plays a role in healthy cardiovascular function. 6,7,8 Vitamin D3 can help maintain blood pressure levels within the normal range by inhibiting renin, an enzyme released by the kidneys that acts to effect blood pressure.9 Vitamin D receptors (VDR) may play a role in regulating blood vessel relaxation. Vitamin D3 activates VDR which in turn exerts a positive effect on cardiovascular function.10

Q10. How can this product improve my health?
ProArgi-9 Plus is an advanced formula that contains not only arginine, but additional, exciting ingredients that enhance the cardiovascular benefits of arginine. ProArgi-9 Plus supplies the nutrients needed to boost energy levels and blood flow throughout the body and protect against the negative effects of cardiovascular aging.

ProArgi-9 Plus also provide numerous health benefits in addition to their cardiovascular benefits, including antioxidant actions, protection of healthy cells, aiding calcium absorption and supporting bone health, and providing immune system support.

Here are the benefits of ProArgi-9 Plus:
Supports cardiovascular health
Enhances blood flow to vital organ
Combats the negative effects of premature cardiovascular aging
Sweetened with xylitol to enhance oral health
Great-tasting citrus berry flavor
Anti-aging benefits
Supports healthy sexual performance
May aid in decreasing body fat
Maintains healthy blood sugar levels already in the normal range.
May boost energy levels

Q11. What are the active ingredients in ProArgi-9 Plus?
A: Key ingredients include l-arginine, l-citrulline, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, grape skin extract, red wine extract, pomegranate concentrate, vitamin K2, vitamin D3, d-ribose, and ascorbic acid..

Q 12. What is the product sweetened with? Can you describe the taste of ProArgi-9 Plus?
A: ProArgi-9 Plus is sweetened with Xylitol. Xylitol is a low glycemic sweetener11 that occurs naturally in the body. High glycemic sweeteners can cause glycation, which can lead to decreased arterial flexibility.12 Unlike other sweeteners, xylitol has been shown to inhibit oral bacteria and promote saliva production providing protection against tooth decay.13
ProArgi-9 Plus offers a great-tasting citrus berry flavor.
