Ultralogix Nutritional Supplements

2007-06-22T19:03:00.000-07:00

Ultralogix Dietary Supplements provide advanced nutrition to meet your daily requirements and address specific nutritional needs. These nutrient-dense products are formulated to be easily absorbed in order to deliver maximum benefit to the body. Developed by some of the country's leading medical doctors, specialists and nutritional experts, Ultralogix Dietary Supplements were created based upon credible, documented scientific research.

This unique brand differs from the popular brands in several respects, including factors of absorption, strength and quality.

Absorption
In order to be effective, the nutrition contained in supplements needs to be adequately absorbed. Minerals can be chelated with amino acids to significantly increase absorption, but this costly processing is routinely avoided by most supplement brands. If the capsule does not dissolve properly, its nutrients will not be absorbed – not to mention causing an upset stomach.

Additionally, most supplements on the market today are densely compressed in order to get as many ingredients as possible into one tablet. Unfortunately, your stomach cannot possibly dissolve these highly compressed tablets entirely, which means that most of these nutrients are simply excreted, depriving you of the promised nutritional benefits. Due to this compression, you would need to spend at least three times more on most supplements to achieve the same benefits as with Ultralogix.

Pet Recall Update

2007-04-02T11:57:00.000-07:00

Dog and Cat Owners Scramble for Info as Contamination Continues

The pet food recall seems to be getting worse. Now, the chemical melamine has been found in the recalled foods.

According to an article from the March 31, 2007, issue of The Oregonian, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday, it had found melamine in samples of pet food, as well as in imported wheat gluten that was used as an ingredient in the pet food. Melamine is a chemical used to make plastics.

Now, it appears that the contamination is not just limited to wet foods, it is also found in dry food. The FDA found melamine in the wheat gluten of Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food and on Friday, March 30, Hill’s Pet Nutrition announced the recall.

Menu Foods has recalled a phenomenal 95 brands of cuts-and-gravy type dog and cat food made between December 3, 2006 and March 6, 2007. Wheat gluten was cited as the cause of that recall and the wheat was said to be imported from China.

It’s mind blowing! 95 brands of food! 95 brands of food! Two questions immediately come to mind; 1) Who was conducting the quality control; and 2) Why was the wheat imported from China?

It’s starting to get confusing, because just a week ago, New York State Food Laboratory identified aminopterin – a rat poison as the problem.

With melamine also a suspected culprit, and with 95 brands contaminated, you might be thinking are there any safe foods left for my pet? If so, where can they be found?

There is one brand of food that has not been recalled and it does not contain corn or wheat and it is SAFE for your pets. The name of that food is Lifes Abundance Cat Food and Life’s Abundance Dog Food. Online resources can be found at http://www.BestFurryFriend.com or http://www.Dog-Food-Zone.com .

Your best friend deserves a fresh, wholesome, nutritious and SAFE food. And, it seems like there aren’t many available! So look into Life’s Abundance and see if it might just be what you are looking for.

On the cover of his book, The OmegaRx Zone – The Miracle of the New
High Dose Fish Oil, he states that high-dose pharmaceutical grade fish oil
is as close to a medical miracle as we will see in the 21st century.
In fact, he states that it is his most important Zone discovery ever!

Omega-3 and Fish Oil Article

2006-01-06T21:58:00.000-08:00

Here is an interesting Health article which discusses the benefits of long chain omega-3 fatty acids and also fish oil supplementation.

The long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, found in the greatest abundance in fish and fish oil but also in some other foods as well, play a key role as components of cellular membranes. During the regular aging process, cell membranes become much more rigid. This can adversely effect the function of tissues throughout the body, including the brain.
Perhaps the top asset to the brain of them all is DHA,
the principal polyunsaturated fat in the central
nervous system. DHA is appears to have a very direct
effect on brain chemistry, development and
functioning. DHA is essential for both kids
and adults, but DHA is as vital to a kid's
diet as sitcoms are to prime time television. The top
source of omega-3 fatty acids of them all is
cold-water fish and fish oils, but omega-3 fatty acids can also
be found in varying quantities in other foods such as certain vegetable oils walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, flaxseed
and also eggs.
The bottom line is, Omega-3 fatty acids appear to protect
the brain, which is why many physicians recommend taking an omega-3 supplement, usually fish oil because of it's high
concentration of readily absorbed dha and epa (flax and other sources have to be converted in the body instead of being directly assimilated).
Even our President and Governer Shwarzenagger take omega-3 supplements.
There have been a considerable amount of clinical research studies conducted related to the benefits of omega-3 dietary supplements (especially fish oil) in certain inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in people, including but not limited to arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and heart disease.
This research goes back to 1970's Greenland and beyond. Some if not most of the placebo trials of fish oil in inflammatory conditions show substantial benefits such as for
example a lessened disease activity and a lower overall requirement of various anti-inflammatory drugs.
Because omega-3 fatty acids are a very key component of development during the entire course of a person's life cycle, they should be included in the diets of each individual. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are not interconvertible in the body and are therefore vital components of almost all cell membranes. Cellular proteins are genetically determined, however the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition of cell membranes is to a large degree dependent on dietary consumption.
