The Latest Science – Minerals and Network Antioxidants
 Everyone knows the importance of calcium for strong bones and teeth, but it is also vital to a wide range of essential body functions that affect our health and longevity. Scientists now consider calcium and mineral deficiency a major factor in the cause of over 100 common ailments, including cancer, hypertension and osteoporosis. No wonder doctors recommend taking a high-quality calcium and trace mineral supplement everyday. Studies conducted by the Osteoporosis Research Center concluded that calcium carbonate and calcium citrate exhibited identical absorption rates when taken with food.
"Contrary to popular belief, calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are equally well absorbed if taken with meals, the normal way of assimilating any nutrient."

Free radicals are highly unstable molecules with an unpaired electron that initiate destructive chain reactions inside cells. Antioxidants are highly stable molecules with abundant electron pairs that neutralize free radicals. New research, presented to the World Health Organization's First Joint Conference on Healthy Aging, demonstrate how a combination or "network" of antioxidants multiply their neutralizing power. For example, Vitamin C protects and prolongs Vitamin E activity, while Proanthocyanins from grape seed and skin extract protect and prolong Vitamin C activity.
 Recently, scientists from Harvard Medical School discovered that Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in the skin of red wine grapes, can significantly increase the life span of cell cultures by as much as 70%, virtually duplicating the life extending results attained by calorie restriction. By consuming a wide spectrum of antioxidants and reducing the damage caused by free radicals, you can immediately slow the aging process, develop immunity to degenerative disease, and improve the body's natural ability to deal with stress.
Immunity — The Key to Long Life
As we continue to accumulate evidence of the important role a strong and healthy immune system plays in the aging process, the immune-enhancing benefits of many ancient foods have come to light. In fact, studies conducted by the Nutritional Science Research Institute and Dr. Jack Bukowski, MD, PhD, Harvard Medical School, on a patent-pending formula of Green Tea extract, found that it reduced the incidence and duration of cold and flu symptoms, enhanced immune system function, and decreased inflammatory markers associated with cardiovascular disease. This patent-pending formula, known as IMMUNE GUARD, delivers the daily equivalent of ten cups of decaffeinated green tea.
Identify Your Anti-Aging Requirements
We have 3 levels within this Program. The first is Moderate for people who live in rural areas and have a relatively good diet. The second is for those who have High requirements — they may live in a bigger city and/or have a less than perfect diet. The Very High level is for those who live in a big city or work with chemicals or toxins, experience constant stress, and have very little time to eat properly.
