Life Can Be a Bowl of Cherries!

All Natural and non-habit forming: Discover the health benefits of tart Montmorency cherries! Bursting with delicious flavour, cherries have long been a favourite ingredient in culinary delights. Nothing tastes better than a firm, ripe cherry, warmed by the sun and harvested at its peak. And now researchers are discovering that there is more to cherries than just their palate appeal!

The Magic of Melatonin

Research at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio has shown that tart Montmorency cherries contain significant quantities of melatonin, a powerful antioxidant. According to Dr. Russel J. Reiter, "Tart cherries, specifically the Montmorency variety, contain an extremely significant quantity of melatonin1."

Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland; its concentration in the blood varies throughout the day, peaking at night-time, triggering sleepiness. Melatonin levels seem to decrease with age, which may explain why the elderly have more problems sleeping than children.

The ABC's of Anthocyanins

Since Michigan is the cherry capital of North America, it's no surprise that researchers at Michigan State University were the first to identify the presence of numerous natural compounds in tart cherries with antioxidant properties. These bioactive phytochemicals, called anthocyanins, are especially enriched in tart cherries.

A Cherry a Day

To top it all off, tart cherries are loaded with a variety of nutrients, including vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B6, thiamine, phosphorus, iron, calcium and potassium.

It's a Cherry Jubilee!

Immunotec Concentrated Tart Montmorency Cherry Juice is delicious! Follow the label directions to make yourself a cherry beverage or let your imagination run wild! Flavour the water you drink while exercising, serve it on ice cream or stir it into plain yogurt. The naturally great taste of tart Montmorency cherries is sure to be a hit however you choose to enjoy it!

Immunotec Concentrated Tart Montmorency Cherry Juice is 100% pure.

Get your Daily Essentials 

The term essential nutrients applies to a select group of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids that are vital to human health, but that we do not make ourselves. Because we can't make them, they must come from tan outside source like food or dietary supplements. Most of us grew up thinking that we could get all the nutrition we need from out diets, but modern research has shown that many of us do not achieve this goal. In 2001, Harvard researchers concluded the following:

"Given the greater likelihood of benefit than harm, and considering the low cost, we conclude that a daily multivitamin makes sense for most adults. Substantial data suggests that higher intakes of folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and vitamin D will benefit many people, and a multivitamin will ensure adequate intake of other vitamins. (NEJM 2001;345:1818-1824)"

The Immunotec Daily Essentials Pack is designed fo provide you with the essential nutrienets you need each and every day to maintain good health. These three powe3rful products

The Ultimate Multi-Vitamin 

with Resveritrol and Chlorela

Complete Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation towards maintenance of good health

Understanding the "French Paradox"

How is it possible that people in France who regularly eat rich, sauce-laden foods have such a low rate of cardiovascular disease? Scientists have found that the explanation for the "French paradox" is that most of those heavy meals are accompanied by a glass or two of red wine which includes a substance that protects against clogged arteries.

The isolation of resveratrol as the molecule responsible for the protective benefits of red wine is a major breakthrough in anti-aging medicine. This important antioxidant is a point-of-difference addition to Immunotec's vitamin and mineral formulation.

Adding resveratrol to your vitamin and mineral supplement makes sense

Although the idea of drinking a glass of red wine each day to increase resveratrol levels may sound tempting to those who enjoy wine, increasing wine consumption in general is not recommended. Many of us are already accustomed to taking a vitamin and mineral supplement to help provide missing nutrients in a less-than-perfect diet. Getting resveratrol
at the same time is an important addition!

The sunshine vitamin goes under the microscope!

For many years, dangerous pollutants emitted by the industry have been blamed for much higher cancer rates in rich northern countries compared with those in developing countries. Now, scientists wonder if the real cause isn't a vitamin D deficiency that is less problematic in poor nations. Recent research has suggested that an important factor to consider is most likely a lack of vitamin D.

The main way humans achieve healthy levels of vitamin D isn't through diet but through exposure to the sun. But here's the catch: health authorities have stressed avoidance of direct sunshine to avoid the risk of skin cancer. Furthermore, most North Americans, living at northern latitudes, aren't exposed to sunshine strong enough to make vitamin D. A changing demographic also affects vitamin D levels; unlike previous generations who made their living by working outside, most people now spend most of their time indoors.

The 400 IU dosage included in most multivitamins is considered too low to be totally effective. That's why Immunotec formulators included 800 IU in each two-capsule serving of its Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Resveratrol.

Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Resveratrol is a complete formulation that contains 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients, and is certified free of heavy metals. Vitamins, minerals and nutrients included in the formulation support a multitude of health benefits:

* Vitamin A
Helps to maintain eyesight, skin, membranes, and immune function; helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
* Vitamin C
Plays a role in the normal development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums, and in wound healing.
* Vitamin D
Helps in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth; helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus.
* Vitamin B1
Helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates.
* Vitamin B2, B3, B5, B6
Help in tissue formation, and help the body to metabolize proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
* Vitamin B12
Helps to produce red blood cells.
* Vitamin B9 (Folate)
Helps prevent neural tube defects when taken prior to becoming pregnant.
* Selenium
Factor in the maintenance of healthy body cells and tissues; acts as an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health.
* Copper
Helps to produce red blood cells and connective tissue.
* Chloine
Provides important benefits for the structure and function of cells.

Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Resveratrol also includes Vitamin E, Biotin, Zinc, Chromium, Manganese, Inositol, and Chlorella for the maintenance of good health. Scientific experts excluded two ingredients from this complete formulation: calcium, since it is not usually included in appropriate doses and should be taken as a stand-alone supplement; and iron, which can cause health concerns in some individuals and should be used on an as-needed basis.

Naturally-sourced micronutrients make a "supercharged" supplement

One of the oldest life-forms on our planet is chlorella, a form of microscopic algae - one of the first organisms to use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy. Chlorella is included in the formulation of Immunotec's Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Resveratrol because it provides a natural source of an incredible array of nutrients: proteins, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, macrominerals, trace elements, and phytochemicals. Chlorella is such an incredible source of nutrients, it has been nicknamed a "superfood."

Omega-3 with Turmeric 

certified contaminant free

*Source of Omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of heart and brain function

Healthy heart and mind make the golden years shine

Anyone who has witnessed a loved one endure Alzheimer's disease, heart disease or debilitating joint pain can attest to the devastating effect these health problems can have on your quality of life. Scientists are increasingly focused on finding supportive measures to keep us healthy and mentally sharp as we age so that we can enjoy our golden years.

You know you should be eating more polyunsaturated fatty acids

Research has convincingly shown the potential benefits of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) found in whale blubber, flaxseed, walnuts, and especially cold water fish:

* promotes optimal cardiovascular health
* supports proper brain and neural development

Add spice!

What could possibly outdo the multitude of benefits offered by omega-3 fatty acids? Try sprinkling in some curry.

Take a Video Tour - 3 Minutes Can Change your Life.



Just as the low incidence of heart disease in certain populations encouraged researchers to explore the benefits of fatty fish consumption, scientists are looking into dietary factors that could account for the impressive levels of high-functioning mental and physical activity in the aging Asian Indian population.

A potential explanation for this phenomenon is the local use of curry (a combination of spices which contains turmeric) for flavor and as a natural preservative. Already known as an effective remedy for gastrointestinal symptoms, turmeric has been traditionally used for jaundice, hepatitis, fibromyalgia, liver and gallbladder problems, headaches, joint and bone pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer.

Already known as an effective remedy for gastrointestinal symptoms, turmeric has been traditionally used for jaundice, hepatitis, fibromyalgia, liver and gallbladder problems, headaches, joint and bone pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer.

Turmeric shows exciting promise due to its anti-inflammatory activity and antioxidant properties. The potential effect of turmeric on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease may help account for the active lives enjoyed by so many Asian Indians.

Are you going to eat curried sardines?

To meet the American Heart Association's recommendation that we eat at least two fish meals per week, many people increase their consumption of popular fish such as salmon. Unfortunately, increased fish consumption can also lead to increased exposure to heavy metals, such as mercury, from pollution.

Adding turmeric to your diet doesn't carry the risks of eating polluted fish, but people still aren't likely to enthusiastically sprinkle curry on their food. Many delicious Indian dishes feature the intense yellow spice; however, curry doesn't easily complement other popular cuisines.

Boost your usual breakfast

Luckily, for people who want to increase their consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric without eating curried sardines, quality supplements provide an easy alternative. Immunotec's Omega-3 with Turmeric supplement is a high-quality source of omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of heart and brain function, and is certified free of contaminants. Research shows that fish oil is the superior source of omega-3 and each soft gel contains cold-pressed Norwegian fish oil (anchovy, mackerel, and sardine) and turmeric to provide 270 mg of EPA, 180 mg of DHA, and 95 mg of curcuminoid. And the synergistic combination of fish oil and turmeric results in enhanced absorption of the turmeric.

Adults looking for a potent source of antioxidants and the maintenance of heart and brain function with omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric should take two soft gels per day, preferably with breakfast.

After taking your Omega-3 with Turmeric each morning, envision yourself enjoying health and vitality for many years.

Milk Calcium 

Pure and Simple: Naturally Sourced Calcium

Bone Health

Calcium is nature's way of providing our bodies with the nutrients needed to keep our bones strong. It is the most abundant mineral in the body with the teeth and bones containing 99% of the total calcium. In addition to maintaining a healthy skeleton, calcium is essential for many body functions, including regulation of the heartbeat, muscle contraction and relaxation. Hormones and vitamin D control the body's use of calcium; indeed, the body cannot absorb calcium without vitamin D.

Research on the role of calcium shows its marked significance in maintaining good health. Calcium helps in the maintenance of bones and teeth (Shils et al. 1999; Marz 1997; Krook et al. 1972). Calcium also helps to prevent bone resorption and osteoporosis (Bendich et al. 1999; Celotti and Bignamini 1999; Ullom-Minnich 1999).

Calcium is important for bone health in both men and women. Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue. This leads to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Inadequate calcium intake is a contributing factor in the development of osteoporosis.

Who is at Risk?

Women are more likely than men to develop osteoporosis because women generally have weaker, more porous bones to start with, and lose bone faster when they go through menopause. Women lose 2-5% of bone each year for the first five to seven years after menopause; afterwards bone is lost at about 1% per year.

Take a Video Tour - 3 Minutes Can Change your Life.



Though osteoporosis is most common in older women, this silent disease can strike either sex at a very early age.

Life-Stages for Calcium Requirements

Calcium recommendations for North Americans were revised in 1997. The National Academy of Sciences and the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommend daily calcium intakes of 1,000 - 1,200 mg/day for adult men and women.

Recommended Daily Intake

Children (ages 4-8 years)800 mg

Adolescents and young adults (ages 9-18 years)1,300 mg

Adult women (ages 19-50)1,000 mg

Adult men (ages 25-65)1,000 mg

Women over age 50 years1,200 mg

Pregnant or nursing women1,000-1,300 mg

Food Sources of Calcium

Everyone agrees that food is the best source of calcium; however, most people do not have enough calcium in their diets.

Certain dietary factors can also negatively influence calcium nutrition. They include:

* Frequent dieting
* Excessive intakes of caffeine, alcohol, and salt
* Sub-optimal vitamin D intake (less than 400 IU per day)

If you're amongst those who find it difficult to meet the daily calcium requirements from food sources alone, then Immunotec Naturally Sourced Calcium can help fill the gap.

Naturally Sourced Calcium

A unique calcium supplement made from nature's most basic food - milk. Nutritionists agree that dairy products are the best source of calcium and Naturally Sourced Calcium is real calcium from milk.

Milk is naturally rich in calcium and Naturally Sourced Calcium is as close to the original as you can get. Purity, simplicity, and a back-to-nature approach are just some of the characteristics that make Naturally Sourced Calcium the right calcium supplement. Here are some others:

Why Naturally Sourced Calcium is the right calcium supplement:

* Dairy products are the best source of calcium. Naturally Sourced Calcium is real calcium from milk.
* Contains the ideal combination of calcium and vitamin D and has a calcium-to-phosphorous ratio similar to human bone.
* More readily absorbed than calcium carbonate. Naturally contains calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, and iron which assist absorption.
* Naturally Sourced Calcium can be taken at any time of day, and not specifically with meals.
* Calcium is best absorbed by the body in small amounts. Therefore, a supplement with a low dosage, taken several times a day, is ideal. A 250 mg calcium supplement respects the advice to increase supplement intake gradually. Take 250 mg to 500 mg of calcium a day for a week, then add more calcium slowly.
* The amount of calcium per supplement dosage should not exceed 500 mg, since many foods are fortified with calcium. In fact, the average American obtains 500-600 mg/day of calcium from their diet. There is no benefit in exceeding 2,500 mg of calcium per day.
* Avoid calcium from sources such as unrefined oyster shell, bone meal or dolomite, which may contain high levels of toxic metals.

From the time we are very young our parents tell us to drink milk for healthy teeth and bones. As adults, common sense tells us that we need to maintain our calcium intake for the years that lie ahead.

If you aren't getting the amount of calcium you need from food sources alone, then Naturally Sourced Calcium is the natural choice to help make a positive difference in your health - no bones about it!

All Stressed Out? 

PNT 200 wins bronze at Health Ingredients Europe

Unique peptide is recognized for its calming properties

Those who have discovered PNT 200 know that it is a great way to help relieve the symptoms of stress. And the Health Ingredients (Hi) Europe committee is equally impressed, having recently recognized the effectiveness of its active ingredient with a bronze medal at the 2004 Hi Europe Innovation Awards!

How was this unique peptide discovered? After 12 years of research, in partnership with Université Henri Poincaré-Nancy in France, a peptide was found with relaxing properties within a milk protein hydrolysate. The research stemmed from the observation of the calm state of a baby after drinking milk, prompting researchers to investigate the relationship between milk consumption and any calming effect resulting from it. This led to the use of a well-known digestive enzyme to develop the patented milk casein hydrolysate found in PNT 200.

Take a Video Tour - 3 Minutes Can Change your Life.



This discovery was significant, given the amount of stress that people face each and every day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 450 million people worldwide are affected by stress-related disorders. Although high, this number is not surprising when we consider that life is filled with noise, social pressures, pollution and a myriad of other stressors that infiltrate our minds and bodies.

Despite its negative connotation, stress is a perfectly natural and healthy physiological reaction that is necessary to prepare us to act quickly and efficiently in certain situations; it also allows us to adapt to changing needs and situations. It becomes a negative force when we experience too much stress or are unable to get reprieve from tension - this is when management techniques and products to help lessen the effects of stress come into play.

PNT 200 is perfectly positioned for today's fast-paced life and the recognition of its active ingredient is an important milestone for the product. The Health Ingredients award further substantiates its value and the science that it is based on. PNT 200 is the natural alternative for those who are looking to better manage the stresses of everyday life.
