 If
your life is as multifaceted and demanding as mine, you’re constantly
on the look for natural, energy-enhancing food blends that are safe,
easy to take, contain no stimulants and include a full compliment of
protein, minerals, antioxidants, vitamins, electrolytes and
health-enhancing probiotics. You also insist on a blend that fulfills
the requirements for a broad array of individuals, not simply athletes
choosing to enhance their performance.
Additionally, it’s not enough to support and
stimulate our physical energy; we also need assurance the complex
includes ingredients that will:
- Boost mental and physical energy. Especially
beneficial for demanding professionals needing a boost of natural
energy for stamina and immune enhancement
- Provide a healthy source of protein that is
readily digestible through fermentation
- Supply a broad array of predigested minerals and
electrolytes
- Assist those who are older with enhanced
cognitive function, memory enhancement and overall physical quality
of life
- Enhance stamina drained by stress, lack of sleep,
and a diet of fast and over processed food, especially prevalent in
students
- Enhance the immune system with the inclusion of
probiotics
- Provide comprehensive nutritional support for
efficient cellular energy
- Reduce and neutralize inflammatory activity (fibromyalgia,
arthritis, gout, injuries/trauma) with specialty nutrients like tart
cherry juice, confirmed by leading university studies to exhibit the
following health-enhancing properties:
- Anti-Inflammatory – tart cherries contain
natural anti-inflammatory compounds called anthocyanins. Research
at Michigan State University indicates that tart cherry compounds
are at least 10 times more active than aspirin. Research also
shows that anthocyanins do a superior job of protecting artery
walls from plaque buildup and heart disease.
- Contains Melatonin – known for its ability to
improve natural sleep patterns. Research at the University of
Texas by Dr. Russel J. Reiter demonstrated tart cherries contain
exceptionally high levels of melatonin, also revered as an
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cancer-preventive properties.
- Contains Perillyl Alcohol – a natural compound
extremely powerful in reducing incidence of all types of cancer.
Research at the University of Iowa shows that the perillyl
contained in tart cherries is up to five times more potent than
the other known cancer-reducing compounds at inducing tumor
regression.
- Enhances daily exercise workout while reducing
post-exercise muscle fatigue
- Enhances performance and reduces oxidative stress
(helpful for athletes, body-builders)
 The
secret is out! The product formulated to fulfill consumer demand for a
metabolic-specific energy blend containing all the above described
characteristics in a convenient, easy-to-swallow caplet is
Vital Energy by Mt. Capra After reviewing the following five
comprehensive blends Vital Energy contains, you’ll see why you
shouldn’t accept anything less.
1. Muscular Energy Blend – Ingredients known
for their ability to provide quick energy, phytonutrients,
antioxidants, protein and anti-inflammatory activity protecting
cellular structures and blood vessels. Also included are amino acids
for fat metabolism and energy and long-chain fatty acids, which
provide a primary source of cardiac and skeletal muscle energy.
Goat-Milk Protein/Cream (fermented): Animal
protein is the only complete protein available. Protein derived from
goat-milk/cream is closer in molecular structure to human milk and,
therefore, easily digested. As it is a fermented source of protein,
most of the allergenic properties cease to be a problem for those
sensitive to dairy.
Organic Raw Honey Powder: A simple sugar
and excellent source of quick energy with a lower glycemic index
than other carbohydrates, allowing longer energy storage in the
muscles, increasing endurance potential.
Tart Cherry Juice Powder: A rich source of
phytonutrients, antioxidants and quercetin. Quercetin is known for
its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, protecting
cellular structure and blood vessels from free radical damage.
L-Carnitine Powder: A naturally occurring
amino acid essential for fat metabolism and energy; used by the body
to transport long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, the
metabolic furnace of the cell, where they are burned for energy.
Deficiencies manifest as low energy and muscular weakness.
Bee Pollen Powder: Long used by athletes to
help increase strength, endurance, energy and speed. It aids the
body in recovering from exercise, returning breathing and heart rate
to normal, and improving endurance for repeat exertion. Rich in
vitamins, it also contains most minerals, trace elements, enzymes
and amino acids. It is known to build the immune system while
providing an excellent source of antioxidants.
Royal Jelly Powder: A rich source of all
the B vitamins and vitamins, A,C,E, and K. In addition it contains
more than a dozen key minerals, 18 amino acids and nucleic acids
(DNA & RNA). Studies show its benefits in cholesterol-lowering,
immune-stimulating, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties
as well as anti-fatigue properties.
Goat-Milk Whey (powder): A pre-digested,
whole-food source of more than 20 naturally occurring minerals, it
is a highly concentrated alkaline food.
2. Brain Energy Blend – Contains proprietary
ingredients known to promote lean muscle mass, improve physical
performance and energy, regulate tone and elasticity of blood vessels,
and increase general mental function and, in addition, ingredients to
counter lethargy, memory loss and disorders related to depleted energy
reserves.
Chocamine: A proprietary, patent-pending,
dietary supplement with the taste, smell and proven health benefits
of chocolate…without the sugar, fat, and dairy. It is the only
dietary supplement that normalizes appetite and cravings while
promoting sustained energy. The formula is standardized, proven
safe, and is a natural non-ephedra thermogenic compound. It has
capacity as a mood and performance enhancer and promotes lipolysis
and the building of lean muscle mass for improved physical
performance and energy.
Gingko Biloba Extract: Has been used in
medicine for thousands of years for its antioxidant and flavonoid
actions shown to improve circulation and protect nerve integrity. It
is used in therapeutic protocols for cerebral insufficiency,
dementia, tinnitus, memory enhancement and general increased mental
function.
Maca Extract: Used since pre-Incan times
for nutritional and medicinal purposes, this botanical is used as a
fatigue fighter and general tonic for lethargy, memory loss and
disorders resulting from depleted energy stores. It is believed to
improve concentration and increase mental clarity.
Muira Puama Extract: A botanical from the
Amazon rainforest, it is traditionally known as a neuromuscular
tonic for weakness and paralysis, dyspepsia, menstrual disturbances,
chronic rheumatism, sexual impotency, grippe and central nervous
system disorders. Recent clinical research reports its success as an
adaptogenic, anti-fatigue, anti-stress compound also beneficial for
memory and nervous disorders.
3. Immune Energy Blend – Contains “live food”
ingredients, including wheat grass powder, known for its 70 percent
chlorophyll content that facilitates regenerative properties, fighting
of free radicals and its immune enhancement potential. Chlorophyll has
been shown to create an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth
while assisting the reproduction of red blood cells (oxygen source to
every cell). This blend provides strong antioxidants and probiotics,
the heart of any energy formula.
Wheat Grass Powder: A super, superfood
packed with health benefits without the gluten component. The
immunizing effect of wheat grass against dietary carcinogens is of
great benefit for maintaining overall health. It works by filling
nutritional gaps and cleansing the blood. It contains 17 amino
acids, which are the building blocks of protein, used for building
muscle tissue, repairing cells and blood clotting. It also contains
92 of the 102 minerals found in soil, including calcium, phosphorus,
iron, magnesium, and potassium, along with natural enzymes which
help the body’s defense mechanism by strengthening cells and
removing poisons from the bloodstream. It assists in eliminating
toxins from consuming processed food, breathing polluted air, and
drinking impure water.
Barley Grass Powder: Barley grass juice is
said to contain anti-inflammatory substances, including superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and chlorophyll. Barley grass is known to
potentially promote longevity and enhance immunity. It contains
vitamin E succinate, said to increase production of both prolactin (PRL)
and growth hormone (GH).
Astragalus Root Powder: A native Chinese
herb, it has been used for over 2,000 years for medicinal purposes,
specifically for immune enhancement. It is also believed to build
stamina and vitality while also helping to defend against viral and
bacterial infections.
Cordyceps sinensis Powder: A Chinese
mushroom used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for lung protection
and reproductive invigoration. It has similar therapeutic effects as
ginseng to increase energy levels, sex drive and improve athletic
performance. Studies show its ability to stimulate and modulate the
immune system and increase red blood cells. Its main clinical use is
for lung function; it has been shown to significantly increase
maximal oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold.
Goat-milk Colostrum: Derived from goats
that are never fed pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones or
antibiotics. Colostrum contains immunoglobulins, peptides, growth
factors, and essential amino acids. It enables us to resist harmful
effects of pollutants, contaminants and allergens, while enhancing
the ability to burn fat, build lean muscle mass and rejuvenate skin
and cellular structure.
4. Cellular Energy Blend – Any effective
blend for cellular energy must contain omega-3 fatty acids for the
health of almost all body systems. They specifically serve as energy
sources for muscles (including the heart) as well as in the role of
building blocks for cell membrane integrity and energy storage.
Omega-3s also hook up oxygen, providing electron transport and energy
for the process of oxidation. The OxyPhyte® Ultra Blend concentration
in this formula contains the same antioxidant capacity as two servings
of vegetables, as measured by the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC),
a USDA method of measuring antioxidant capacity.
Flax Seed Powder: This seed is rich in
essential fatty acids (EFAs), specifically alpha-linolenic acid, B
vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein and zinc.
EFAs are part of every cell in our body, maintaining the structure
of cells and energy production. They are nature’s richest source of
omega-3 fatty acids, benefiting nearly every body system.
Rhodiola rosea Root Powder: A plant native
to regions of Asia, Europe and the Arctic, it is traditionally used
to combat fatigue and restore energy. Recently, this plant has been
recommended for its capacity to increase performance despite
physical exhaustion or environmental stresses, alleviate depression
and fatigue, enhance memory and intellectual capacity, increase work
performance and endurance, and stimulate the nervous system.
Acerola Cherry Extract: One of the richest
known sources of natural vitamin C, it contains from 16,000 to
172,000 parts per million (ppm) of vitamin C (ascorbic acid),
compared to 500 to 4,000 ppm found in oranges. Vitamin C is best
known as a cell protector, immune booster and powerful antioxidant.
The body’s ligaments, tendons and collagen rely on vitamin C to stay
strong and healthy.
Green Tea Extract: Extensive research
confirms green tea is especially effective in areas of cancer
prevention, cholesterol-lowering activity, diabetes, obesity and
aging—strong antioxidants are at the heart of this extract.
OxyPhyte Ultra Blend: This blend is a
proprietary blend of apple, white tea and rosemary. Phytonutrients
are extracted from these foods for their antioxidant benefits.
Suma Extract: Suma root contains essential
vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements, including
germanium, which may be responsible for its powerful ability to
bring more oxygen to the cells. Suma root also contains a rich
source of B-ecdysterone, an anabolic-type plant hormone that assists
in maintaining youth and strength.
5. Digestive Energy Blend – No energy formula
would be complete without ingredients that are respected worldwide to
assist the digestive system. The botanicals in this formula are prized
since ancient times for their effectiveness in reducing inflammation,
calming digestive distress, neutralizing stomach acids, enhancing
secretion of digestive juices and toning of the digestive tract
muscles. These substances assist in easing pain of muscle aches,
rheumatoid arthritis, and soft tissue inflammation by lowering the
level of the body’s natural pain-causing compounds called
prostaglandins.
Ginger Root Powder: Ginger’s effectiveness as
a digestive aid is due largely to its active ingredients: gingerols
and shogaols. These substances neutralize stomach acids, enhance
secretion of digestive juices and tone muscles of the digestive tract.
It is also well known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Turmeric Extract: Also a member of the ginger
family, turmeric was discovered by researchers for its
inflammation-fighting compounds called curcuminoids. It is a rich
source of antioxidants.
Enzyme Blend: Contains the following to aid
specific processes of digestion: amylases (carbohydrates), lipases
(fats), cellulases (fiber), alpha-galactosidase (carbohydrates and
fiber), malt diastase (hydrolyzes amylase and other polysaccharides),
invertase, (refined sugars), and lactase (hydrolyzes lactose in dairy
products).
Goat-milk Probiotic Blend: A natural
therapeutic whole-food blend of five strains of health-enhancing
bacteria cultured in fresh goat’s milk that replenishes intestinal
microflora, helping the body to digest and absorb food as well as
fight illnesses.
