Up until the 1900's, vitamins were only acquired through the intake of food and of course, changes in one's diet. Now a days, vitamins are produced in large quantities, readily available and very inexpensive. If you choose to not eat right you can use vitamins as dietary supplements. Vitamins are organic compounds; a nutritional requirement of our bodies. Animals and humans require different vitamins and have different affects on our bodies. These supplements are arranged not by their structure, but by their chemical and biology activity. Vitamins have a wide range of functions, they can help regulate hormones, tissue and cell growth and even help our metabolisms. Vitamin D is used as hormone supplements, where as Vitamin E is used as an anti-oxidant. Vitamin A helps with differentiation and cell growth, and then there is B which is the metabolism stimulator. Even though the roles of each vitamin are extremely different, they all play a huge part in the regulation of the human body. In the human body there are thirteen vitamins, some which are water soluble and some which are fat soluble. They are all essential for normal growth and when not present or at high enough levels can cause disease and destruction to our bones, skin and other functioning organs. Not getting enough vitamins can be devastating, same with too much. Anything in excess is unhealthy, even with vitamins. Some simple, but uncomfortable side effects of over-dosing are; nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Vitamins are not considered drugs in the pharmaceutical world, they are considered "food". Because of this, the companies are not responsible for reporting and injuries or illnesses due to excessive use of these "food" products. Isotonix supplements are good for the body and come in regulated amounts that you are take daily. You need to take them if you have bad eating habits. You should try to get your nutrition naturally as well as through man made supplements. A healthy balance equals a healthy lifestyle. If you are unsure of what to take or have questions about what is out there, consult your doctor or physician.
| TestimonialSeveral people have heard my testimonial regarding OPC3 and asked that I given them a written version. I am pleased to comply. I have had very high blood pressure most of my adult life. I suppose this was a result of the self-imposed high-pressure life style I had chosen—College Professor & Vice President, Thoroughbred Breeder/Trainer, Politician who worked in many national campaigns and once ran for Congress. I was prone to excess in many areas. In late June of 1999 I started taking OPC3. I did not do this to deal with high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. I just thought it would improve my life some way. By September, my BP had dropped to 120/90. This is good, but not as good as it gets. By March 2000 my blood pressure was down to 104 over 74. Unbeknownst to my doctor I had slowly weaned myself off of his heart and blood pressure medications. When he saw this reading, he suggested that we start going off of the medications he had prescribed. I agreed, even though I did not tell him I was already off them. My last reading was May 4, 2000. It was 90/60. A stress test followed. The results were excellent. I can exercise as much as I want. Some of Market America's products improve our life style; others actually give us more life.
