Ageless Actives combats the effects of “cellular aging,” which is result of free radical damage on cell proteins, membranes and DNA. What we see as signs of aging—wrinkles, loss of lean body mass, bone strength, memory loss and reduced physical capacity—is, in fact, “cellular aging.” By combining CoQ10 and Vitamin D3, as well as age-defying Resveratrol, Ageless Actives works to support the body’s vital systems, support energy production and protect cells from the effects of free radicals.

How can I benefit from using Ageless Actives?

Ageless Actives uses new technology making our CoQ10 800% more absorbable than dry powder forms. It also contains 1,000 IU per serving of Vitamin D3 to enhance the body’s absorption of calcium and maintain a strong cardiovascular system. There are also adaptogens and 250 mg of Resveratrol per serving, which is the equivalent of more than 160 glasses of red wine, as well as red grape and pomegranate extracts to help protect cells from the effects of free radicals.

 Christopher Gardner and his colleagues from Stanford Prevention Research Center and the Department of Medicine, Stanford University Medical School evaluated micronutrient quality of four diets—Atkins, Zone, LEARN (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitudes, Relationships), and Ornish—and found each failed to provide adequate amounts of certain vitamins and minerals.

 The researchers, who published their findings June 23 in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, wrote, “We found that among a free-living population trying to follow alternative weight-loss diets, the intakes of several micronutrients were potentially inadequate, which differed by diet group. Given that successful weight loss and its maintenance require adopting new dietary habits and sustaining them on an ongoing basis, the long-term implications of these potentially inadequate intakes could result in clinically relevant nutritional deficiencies.”

 Study Details

 In the study, participants included 311 premenopausal overweight or obese women ages 25 to 50 who were recruited from Stanford’s A TO Z trial (a large randomized trial comparing weight-loss diets). They were randomly assigned to read one of four diet books: Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002) (5); Enter the Zone, A Dietary Roadmap (1995) (6); The LEARN Program for Weight Management 2000 (9th edition, 2000) (20); or Eat More Weigh Less (2001) by Dean Ornish.

 Each of the diet groups also attended one-hour evening classes each week for eight weeks. The participants were told to master their assigned diet during the eight weeks, and then follow it for the next 10 months. The researchers collected data on dietary intake from the participants by making unannounced 24-hour dietary recall assessments by telephone.

 Of the four different diets, the Zone fared best for micronutrient adequacy, which the authors attribute to its balanced 40:30:30 distribution of calories from carbohydrate, fat and protein. The nutrients lacking in those following the Ornish diet were vitamin E, B12 and zinc; for Atkins: thiamin, folic acid, vitamin C and iron; and for LEARN: vitamin E, thiamin  and magnesium.

 Data from the study were based on food intake alone and did not include  dietary supplements. However, the authors note that the participants who didn’t take supplements prior to dieting continued to avoid  multivitamin or multimineral supplement while dieting.  

 Low Calories Without Sacrificing Micronutrients

 When reducing caloric intake, it’s important to be aware that doing so may also lead to decreased micronutrient intake, the authors concluded. Additionally, the higher-protein, moderately low-carbohydrate Zone diet was the best in also providing nutrient-dense foods.    

 Choosing foods that are nutrient dense or regular supplementation with essential vitamins and minerals is critical for long-term health. 

 Similarly,  findings from another study (May issue of Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition), reported other popular diets such as Atkins for Life, The South Beach Diet, DASH, and The Best Life Diet also resulted in micronutrient deficiencies.

Harvard researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have found that fasting causes an enzyme (SIRT1) to shut down production of fat and cholesterol, which could open up the scientific field to studying new approaches for lowering weight and improving lipid profiles.

 Fasting has been previously known to suppress proteins called SREBPs, which are responsible for controlling fat synthesis and storage, but the mechanism was not well understood.  The researchers reported that after a series of experiments in worms, fruitflies and mice they found that fasting acts directly on SIRT1, one of a family of sirtuin enzymes, thereby down-regulating these SREBPs.

 Sirtuin enzymes have become an active area of research since early 2000s because of findings that stimulation of sirtuin activity—via calorie restriction, intermittent fasting and compounds such as resveratrol—protected mice fed a high-calorie diet against weight gain, and increased the lifespan in nematode worms, fruitflies, fish and rodents.

 Geneticists and medical researchers are only just beginning to understand how genes encode sirtuin enzymes, how the enzymes influence energy metabolism, and investigating various drugs as possible candidates to stimulate SIRT1.

 Fasting and Cleanse Days

The study may potentially offer new insights into the science behind Isagenix products and systems. ”The biological mechanism by which fasting turns off the proteins that stimulate fat and cholesterol synthesis may explain partially our success with our two weight-loss programs, where we incorporate one to two days per week of Cleanse Days, which we’ve shown successfully produce healthy weight loss in adults,” says Susie Rockway, Ph.D., director of Isagenix Research and Science.

 Dr. Rockway adds, “Similarly, the new study is interesting as it could have other implications because it offers support to intermittent fasting, or Cleanse Days, as a potential alternative to caloric restriction for stimulating SIRT1.”  

 In late April, Dr. Rockway presented the results of two pilot studies—a nine-day study and 28-day study—both of which found Isagenix products and Cleanse Days supported adults with healthy weight loss, maintaining healthy lipid profiles. The studies also found subjects felt better about their weight, health and energy levels.

 Cleanse Days— days of limited food calories and water complemented by the botanical-based detox drink, Cleanse for Life—are a component of the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System, a nutritional program developed by the company to help customers achieve their health goals with cleansing and detoxification, replenishing with proper diet and nutrition, and controlling caloric intake.

A: I don’t know about 20 minutes a day because it depends upon time of day, season of the year, latitude, and your degree of skin pigmentation. What I tell people is, if you know that you’re going to be out in June at noon-time for 30 minutes, in Arizona, and you’re going to get a light sunburn to your skin, to go out 50 percent of that time.

Always protect your face, it’s the most sun exposed, the most sun damaged. But you can certainly expose your arms and legs and not worry about it, in my opinion. Abdomen, back, not a problem. The more skin you expose, the more [vitamin D] that you make.

Q: Do you expect the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations for Adequate Intake of vitamin D to change in the United States anytime soon to reflect findings of new research?

A: Yes, there will definitely be new Adequate Intakes. What you really care about though is not the AI recommendation, what you care about is the Upper Limit—that’s what prevents manufacturers from putting vitamin D into foods. The amounts that you can put in and the amounts that supplements can contain.

The safe upper limit right now is considered to be 2,000 IU for adults. The major manufacturers like Coca Cola or who make Minute Maid orange juice for example put only 100 IU in a glass, because if they put in any more then they start adding that up, drinking milk and taking a multivitamin, you’re over the 2,000 IU limit.

Then if you get some toxicity like a kidney stone, it doesn’t matter that it’s not due to the vitamin D, the lawyers will say that it is if you put more than you should’ve put in. So they need to increase it like to 10,000 IU in which case, then we can really have an impact on the entire U.S. population and the world’s population because they could now put more vitamin D in the food.

Q: Dr. Holick, this has been very interesting and I’m sure it will be interesting to our readers. Thank you for your time. Also, congrats on the new book. We’ll be ordering a couple of copies for our library.

A: Wonderful. Feel free to stay in touch.

 Now the company has expanded the table to include recently launched products as well as additional information about more common food allergens in existing Isagenix products.

 The newly expanded document—which previously provided information only on the Food and Drug Administration’s recognized eight most common allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, shellfish, fish, wheat (gluten) and soy*—now includes information on mollusks, honey, royal jelly, rice, celery, and other vegetables.

 The Isagenix Allergen and Lifestyle Preferences Table also acts as an easy quick-reference for those who have vegetarian or lacto-vegetarian lifestyle preferences.

 To view the complete table, please click on the following link: Isagenix Allergen & Lifestyle Preferences Table.

 *Special note about soy-derived ingredients: Isagenix products that list soy as an allergen contain ingredients derived from soy such as highly purified vitamin E or lecithin. Isagenix does not include soy protein or soy isoflavones as ingredients in IsaLean Shake or in other Isagenix products.

 Jong Won Yun and his colleagues at Daegu University, of South Korea, who published in April’s issue of Journal of Proteome Research, say they discovered that capsaicin alters proteins in fat cells that lead to markedly increased thermogenesis and fat metabolism, which suggests that this spice commonly used for flavoring foods “may be a useful phytochemical” for battling the bulge.

 To better understand the chili compound’s mechanisms, the researchers compared its effects versus a saline solution on rats fed high-fat diets. The rats whose diets included 10 milligrams of capsaicin per kilogram per day had altered proteins that led to increased fat oxidation. They also lost an average of 8 percent of body fat during the study.

 The study’s findings are red hot as the prevalence of overweight and obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with the World Health Organization reporting more than 1 billion people overweight and at least 300 million of them clinically obese. Consultation with a healthcare professional is always advised when beginning a weight management program and individual weight loss results will depend on level of activity and caloric intake.

 Scientists must continue to perform more research to determine if cayenne pepper has similar effects on humans as it has in animals, although this study hints that there may be some benefit to ordering Indian, Thai or Mexican food “extra spicy.”

 Previous research has also linked capsaicin with helping to assist in reducing fat levels in blood, reducing growth of fat cells, and inhibiting fat cell maturation. Capsaicin also may influence signaling pathways that lead to increased fat cell self-destruction.

• I’m a Product Success Story My health has improved, I’ve lost 1 or even 100 pounds, I have more energy and I feel great!
• I’m a Business Success Story I’ve had success with the products, started sharing my experience and have been earning extra cash to take care of my bills or I’m even replacing my income with my Isagenix business!

Here’s the rest of the criteria for sharing a success story on stage at an event.

Insulin resistance may be primary cause of NAFLD.

What is it?

Fatty liver is also known as Non- Alcoholic Steatorrhoeic Hepatosis (NASH) or Non-Alcoholic-Fatty-Liver-Disease (NAFLD). NAFLD primarily affects people over 30 years old who are over weight. In the USA about 15 to 20% of people are affected with NAFLD and it can even effect children. It affects a much higher percentage of over weight people.

However, in a recent study looking at the role of insulin resistance in fatty liver disease, there was no significant difference in glucose uptake during the test between normal-weight and overweight NAFLD subjects. This finding rules out the possibility that obesity plays a significant role in fatty liver disease. This test suggests that insulin resistance in NAFLD might be a primary cause of NAFLD, sometimes aggravated by obesity and diabetes associated insulin resistance. In NAFLD patients, the blood sugar level was normal or high-normal in the fasting state. Despite high levels of insulin in the blood stream, the liver did not switch off glucose production in response to insulin infusion, indicating the presence of liver insulin resistance.

The liver is the largest gland in the body. There is evidence that growing older is not a reason for the liver to function any less efficiently. It is estimated that the liver has over 500 different functions.

The function of the liver is to:

• Assist in the digestion of food. It makes bile, which is needed to digest fats.
• It makes many chemicals important for functions all over the body
• It helps to keep the blood clean and well-maintained by removing toxins, dead cells, micro-organisms from the blood stream. It is essentially a filter and cleanser of the blood stream thereby helping the body to fight infections and to get rid of poisons.
• regulates fat metabolism
• major fat-burning organ in the body
• It stores carbohydrates in a form that allows a quick release of energy when it is needed. This is why people with liver damage may lack energy.
• It regulates blood sugar.
• It makes plasma proteins, needed to help the blood to clot

When the liver is not able to filter and cleanse the blood stream it will become overloaded with toxins and fat. A poorly functioning liver can lead to autoimmune conditions and diabetes; and because the liver regulates fat metabolism, if your liver is unhealthy you will have difficulty in controlling your weight. Normally the liver not only burns fat, it dumps extra fat into the intestines. A liver which is fatty is actually storing fat which makes you feel sick and can actually lead to an early death.

Fatty liver, no matter what it’s called, is easy to understand. It means that healthy liver cells are being replaced with fat! Since fat cells weigh more than liver cells, the liver becomes enlarged and heavier. If you could see your liver it would look yellow, instead of red, and greasy. You also have pain in your upper, right abdomen, over the liver. Your doctor can see gallstones and excess fat in an ultrasound scan of the liver.

What are the signs that you might have NAFLD? They are:

• You are over weight and find it hard to loose weight. You probably carry a lot of your weight in your abdomen
• You and your doctor are not happy about your cholesterol. Your cholesterol and triglycerides are elevated in your blood
• You may have Syndrome X (insulin resistance)
• Your blood sugar values are too high. Your doctor calls it type 2 diabetes or Adult Onset Diabetes
• You feel tired most of the time and have very little energy.
• You’re sick all the time because your immune system is weak
• Your liver enzymes are elevated

Fatty liver is the most common cause of abnormal liver function tests in the USA. The elevated liver enzyme results mean that there is damage to the liver cells. Liver enzymes are normally found mostly within liver cells. Only when the cells are damaged or inflamed, do the enzymes leak into the blood stream. This can occur due to:

• a fatty liver
• excessive alcohol consumption
• some medications such as:
  • long term antibiotics or pain killers
  • synthetic Hormone Replacement
• viral infections of the liver such as hepatitis C & B
• auto-immune hepatitis
• hemachromatosis
• primary biliary cirrhosis
• exposure to toxic chemicals such as insecticides, pesticides or organic solvents
• incorrect diet
