For Your Health Black Grape

                   Our health and the way we feel are very important.

                   If we don't feel good everything suffers around us,

                                          including our health.

To know the real facts about the hand fulls of vitamins that millions and millions of people are taking everyday. All someone needs to do is call and ask an employee from your local sewer or septic waste water company.

There you will find the only benefits to taking vitamins. You will also discover that the #1 and only problem that every major city has. Is keeping the sewer lines from being clogged. Naturally! But did you know the #1 and only reason for every blockage that occurs is the mass of vitamins consumed everyday.

Which vitamins are hauled out by the truckloads! Every single one of them. Most of them still have the imprint stamped on them.

I think it's fair to say that our bodies are not getting the benefit afforded to us in vitamins through the method prescribed on the bottles. Unless you have a

chew-it-up or drink-it-up

form of vitamins, minerals and herbs giving you the absorption that the body needs and all the nutrients that enrich the body. Building and repairing tissue. Than you really need to be 'In The Know' on this. Because our bodies can not

absorb-it-up if it can not break-it-up.

The liver is necessary for survival; there is currently no way to compensate for the absence of liver function. It has a wide range of functions, including detoxification,biochemicals necessary for digestion.

The healthy liver regulates fat metabolism and is the major fat-burning organ in the body. A healthy liver not only burns fat, it can pump excessive fat out of your body through the bile. If your liver is healthy you will not have much difficulty in controlling your weight.

Avoiding excess alcohol and other substances that could harm your liver. Has always been rule #1 when it comes to good health.

When the liver does not process and break down as it normally should, too much fat will accumulate. After time damage occurs. Weakness and fatigue make you buy more and more vitamins.

A build-up of fat-soluble toxins (such as insecticides & pesticides), drug metabolites or waste products of metabolism in your fatty tissues and liver slows down the metabolism of the fatty parts & also over-burdens your liver.

I read this the other day.......

"Liver dysfunction is very common and an increasing problem."

So is the amount of money spent on traditional vitamins!

      These days, more people than not are fighting the battle of the bulge. One of the body's responses to dieting is to activate the SiRT1 gene, which breaks down stored fat and increases energy levels. A study done at the University of Wisconsin found Resveratrol to have the same effect on SiRT1 without the dramatic calorie cuts(6).

       Including Resveratrol as a supplement to a healthy food plan may promote weight loss without sacrificing the foods you enjoy. Weight loss and calorie restriction have also been proven as the most effective anti-aging regimen, meaning that those who take Resveratrol may look fitter and feel younger.

   As a leading cause of death worldwide and the number-one cause of death in the United States, heart disease poses a risk for everyone. The Linus Pauling Institute of Oregon State University reports that Resveratrol has been found to improve cardiovascular performance and is known to be a metal chelator, which prevents the absorption of copper (copper deficiency is a potential cause of heart failure).

    Reservatrol's high antioxidant properties may also help maintain the heart's oxygen supply, prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries and stop the constriction of blood vessels. According to the Mayo Clinic, Resveratrol has also been found to neutralize "bad" LDL cholesterol while increasing "good" HDL cholesterols, dramatically lowering the risk of artery blockage and heart attacks.

Black Grape will give you that extra boost when you need it. A blend of B Vitamins, Taurine, Green Tea Extract, Guarana Seed Extract and Natural Caffeine gives you that pick me up when you need it -- without the crash. Black Grape has as much natural caffeine as a cup of the leading premium coffee.

      A close second to Heart Disease as a leading cause of death, Cancer is speculated to be the number-one cause of death worldwide by 2010. However, in a series of studies reviewed by the National Institute of Health, leading researchers found that Resveratrol inhibits the growth of many types of cancer cells, including leukemia, skin and prostate cancers, and reduces the incidence of tumors.

       As a natural selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), Resveratrol has the potential to act as an alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapy, which is known to increase the risk of breast cancer.

Resveratrol has also been found to reduce the activation of NF kappa B, a protein produced by a compromised immune system that can affect the growth of cancer cells.

Resveratrol, a natural anti oxidant present in red grapes and wine is found to be effective in burning up body fat. Resveratrol sets off messages to brain that the stomach is full thereby stalling the craving for food.

L-Leucine provides many benefits to the body. It is effective for maintaining blood sugar levels and also increases growth hormone production. It also helps protect and provide fuel to the muscles, and also helps to increase your endurance level and boost energy. Other benefits of L-Leucine are the preservation of lean muscle mass. This amino acid helps preserve muscle tissue, so that it doesn't break down as quickly during the aging process. L-Leucine can also speed the recovery process for muscle damage and skin injuries.

Guarana Seed Extract is an effective energy booster and helps reduce hunger. Guarana helps improve memory, alertness, and mood and has also been used as an aphrodisiac. Guarana also has antioxidant and antibacterial effects, as well as fat cell reduction.

Green Tea Extract, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is one of the most effective metabolism boosters that naturally occur in a plant or herb. Metabolic rate is increased by 4 percent within a 24 hour time frame. This occurs because Chinese green tea weight loss products release antioxidants into the blood stream and help burn fat faster than normal while at the same time helps the body absorb calories and convert them directly into muscle or energy. A naturally occurring side-effect of green tea consumption is that of appetite suppression. Green tea weight loss diet occurs naturally. Herbal green teas are not synthetic, hence are completely absorbed by a person, unlike many vitamins and other supplements.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) helps provide the cells within the body with a constant supply of energy, boosting athletic performance. Pantothenic Acid works to combat stress, promotes a healthy central nervous system, and has been known to lower cholesterol, improve chronic heartburn, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Taurine is an antioxidant that helps reinforce the immune system. Studies have found that Taurine works to lower blood pressure, strengthen the heart muscle, and improves mental performance.

Vitamin B12 has a long history and a solid reputation as an energy booster. It improves concentration, memory, balance, and also relieves irritability. Vitamin B12 is necessary for proper utilization of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.

Vitamin B-6 plays a role in protein and energy metabolism. Vitamin B-6 is also part of a triad of that support heart health.

Niacin is important for converting calories from protein, fat and carbohydrates into energy. It also promotes a normal appetite, helps the digestive system function and promotes healthy skin and nerves.
