Intra is a unique and proprietary blend of 23 botanical extracts designed to support, balance and strengthen the 8 biological systems of the body. It has been specially formulated to include powerful yet very safe levels of each botanical extract and has been enjoyed around the world for over 15 years. Intra is a natural food supplement that helps maintain vitality and optimal health.
Intra works with the natural systems of the body and, because each one of us is different, we experience different results when using the product. In general, Intra helps support and strengthen the areas of the body where we are weakest – often the results are very dramatic. Everyone who uses Intra daily will experience different benefits. There are over 85000 research studies published in peer-reviewed journals supporting the benefits of each of the botanicals found in Intra.
The recommended dose of Intra is 28 ml to 56 ml (1 – 2 fluid ounces) a day, but up to 168 ml (6 fluid ounces) can be safely consumed daily if you feel like your body needs additional support. Intra is suitable for the whole family.
Yes. Intra was developed for this exact purpose using purified botanical extracts in a balanced and safe formulation. Many herbal experts recommend that high dosages of single botanicals be taken for only short periods of time. However, this does not apply with Intra since it was specifically
As a dietary supplement, Intra is considered a food, and does not require FDA approval. The FDA does not offer opinions on or approval of dietary supplements. Extensive and stringent independent laboratory testing confirms the safety and purity of all components of Intra.
In general, Intra has no side effects. Occasionally, a small minority of people go through a mild adjustment or cleansing period shortly after taking the product. This process should last no more than 3 – 5 days, and can be avoided by taking a small amount of product (5 – 10 ml / 1 – 2 tsp) and working up slowly to the 28 ml – 56 ml (1 – 2 fluid ounces) level. If you are on medication, it is always wise to start slowly and work up to the 28 ml – 56 ml (1 – 2 fluid ounces) daily level. Further, Intra is a food product, and as such, a small minority of people may be allergic to one of the ingredients that make up the formula. As with any food product, if an allergy exists, the person should not continue to take Intra.
CardioLife is a scientifically formulated dietary supplement providing vitamins, minerals and plant extracts that support cardiovascular health and blood circulation throughout the body. The combination of Vitamin K2 (MK7), Hawthorn Extract and Vitamins B6, B12 and Folic Acid have shown to support the health of the arteries and ensure maximum blood flow throughout the body.
CardioLife contains a unique and well-studied brand of Vitamin K2 called VitaMK7. Known as the highest quality, most active form of Vitamin K2, VitaMK7 is pure Menaquinone-7 (MK7). Menaquinone-7 (MK7) has been well studied and shown to enhance blood flow and strengthen bones by removing calcium from the blood and depositing it in the bones, where it belongs.
Yes! Numerous studies have shown that Vitamin K2 (MK7) builds bone strength by removing calcium from the blood and depositing it in the bones. This also accounts for its heart health abilities as it reduces calcium build up in the arteries.
Most of the studies done on heart health and bone health have used a daily dosage of 180 mcg per day of vitamin K2 (MK7).
Hawthorn has an extensive history of use in cardiovascular disease, dating back to the first century. Hawthorn is used for cardiovascular conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary heart disease, angina, and arrhythmias. Very high in polyphenols, hawthorn acts a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory with many additional benefits to the body.
- CardioLife can be taken anytime of the day, however it is best to take CardioLife with food to ensure maximum absorption.
Health Canada allows the following claim to be used for CardioLife: “helps support cardiovascular health and blood flow throughout the body”. As CardioLife contain Vitamin K2 (MK7), it also helps strengthen the bones.
The job of the arteries is to take blood from the heart and circulate it through the body. The ingredients in CardioLife support healthy and pliable (soft, flexible) arteries and help ensure that blood flows through the arteries easily and is not “blocked” by calcium and cholesterol build ups.
These blockages are typically caused by calcium, cholesterol and other substances sticking to a damaged artery wall. Eventually this build up and can lead to a total blockage of an artery which can lead to a heart attack or other life threatening cardio event.
Absolutely! Studies have shown that improving blood flow can help with overall brain health and memory functions. Also, people with diabetes benefit greatly by improvements in blood flow to the extremities of the body (feet, hands).
We advise that if you are currently taking blood thinners, you discuss CardioLife with your doctor prior to taking. As well, do not exceed the suggested daily dosage as listed on the label.
As a general rule, a teenager & older can safely use CardioLife.
Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are the same levels in all countries. Folic acid is lower in the Philippines due to FDA regulations.
Anyone who is on blood thinners should (after consulting with their doctor) take 2 capsules daily as per the label recommendations. Anyone else can take up to 6 capsules daily. The research showing the maximum benefits of Vitamin K2 are all based on a daily dosage of 180 mcg – which is equal to 6 capsules in the Philippines formula.
Anyone with a serious medical issue of this nature should consult with their doctor prior to taking CardioLife. Unless the doctor advises otherwise, the product is generally safe to use at the daily dosage as suggested on the label.
As a general rule and at the daily dosage as suggested on the label, CardioLife is safe for pregnant or nursing women. However, if anyone is concerned, they should consult with their doctor prior to using the product.
NutriaPlus is a highly concentrated antioxidant supplement containing a unique combination of twelve synergistic natural ingredients. Each serving of NutriaPlus provides the antioxidants and phytonutrients from plant extracts, vitamins and minerals. Moreover, it includes organically bound selenium called SelenoExcell (the brand of selenium studied in the Nutritional Prevention of Cancer Study by the University of Arizona).
Antioxidants help protect every cell and membrane in our body from the damaging effects of daily life, and help prevent health conditions that result from accumulated damage from oxidation. For example, science has been looking at the ability of antioxidants to prevent cancer and heart disease, boost the immune system, and slow the aging process. Many leading scientists and healthcare practitioners are convinced that increasing your intake of antioxidants can result in a major improvement in health and increased longevity.
Using the zebrafish research model Lifestyles set out to find the most powerful combination of natural ingredients that would help humans in the following four categories:
- Preventing abnormal cell growth (cancer)
- Enhance tissue repair (help the body recover from injury)
- Reduce inflammation in the body (root cause of many diseases)
- Protect the cells from the damage caused by environmental pollution and sun exposure
The result is… NutriaPlus!
The zebrafish genetic structure is incredibly close to humans. They share 70% of genes with us and more than 80% of the genes associated with human diseases . They also have many of the same organs and tissues as humans. Their muscle, blood, skin, brain, heart and eyes share many features with humans. Researchers can easily expose the fish to the drug or nutrient being tested simply by putting it in the water – the zebrafish absorb it through their skin and the effects can be quickly observed. Remember, the results observed in the zebrafish will also be observed in humans – this is a very reliable method of determining what will benefit human health
Zebrafish are used to study many different cancers, blood diseases, diabetes, heart disease, brain health and to discover new medicines and the causes and possible cures for many human diseases.
- You don’t get your 5 – 7 daily servings of fruits and vegetables
- You don’t eat a balanced diet
- You skip meals
- You often eat-out at fast food restaurants
- You have stress in your life
- You live in a polluted environment
NutriaPlus capsules should always be taken with a meal as vitamins and minerals, as well as certain phytonutrients are better absorbed by the body when a small amount of fat is present.
Absolutely! NutriaPlus is not intended to replace fresh fruits and vegetables but to help supplement the important nutrients provided in them. It is well recognized that the majority of people do not consume the suggested servings of these foods on a daily basis. In addition, due to modern farming methods, the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables have been compromised due to depleted soil, pesticides and unripe picking. However, fresh fruits and vegetables also provide dietary fibre and water, two important elements for good health.
Of course! In fact this is encouraged, especially since NutriaPlus was tested and developed to complement Intra. By taking both Intra and NutriaPlus together, you capitalize on numerous synergistic interactions, including an increased ORAC value (a measure of antioxidant capacity), increased effectiveness, and increased health benefits!
FibreLife is a proprietary, highly viscous soluble Fibre blend from Lifestyles that supplements the body’s dietary deficiency of Fibre.
Once ingested with plenty of water, FibreLife forms a gel-like complex of natural Fibres. In fact, FibreLife has the greatest viscosity (gelling capacity) of any dietary Fibre. This complex slows down the digestion of food, reduces the absorption of sugar and calories, and creates a sense of fullness without impacting your energy levels.
Viscosity is a measure of the thickness of a liquid substance. When evaluating soluble Fibre, it is the viscosity of the gel that forms when mixed with water that provides therapeutic value.
The key benefits of FibreLife ingredients are:
- it can help regulate your appetite to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight
- it can help regulate your energy levels by lowering the Glycemic Index of a meal to stabilize the release of sugars into your blood stream
- it can help to lower your cholesterol level and eliminate body toxins
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of how certain foods affect your blood sugar levels.
High-GI foods, such as fast and processed foods, are rapidly digested and cause sharp spikes in your blood sugar levels. This can damage your health and also contribute to weight gain, as you will soon be hungry and low on energy. Conversely, low-GI foods are slowly digested, causing a gradual and sustained increase in your blood sugar level.
FibreLife helps lower the overall Glycemic Index of a meal, thus ensuring that food is more slowly digested and blood sugar levels are regulated.
Since the ingredients in FibreLife can help you reduce and control your weight, you may experience the many related health benefits that come with lower body weight.
There are countless clinical trials published in peer-reviewed journals that prove soluble Fibre’s varied health benefits. Contact us for more information.
Yes, since FibreLife helps to address the dietary deficiency for Fibre. According to health authorities, adults should be consuming at least 30 g of Fibre each day; however, a majority of people consume less than half that amount through regular diet alone.
Soluble Fibre dissolves and thickens in water. Soluble Fibre is probably best known for its cholesterol-lowering effect. Soluble Fibre is made up of sticky substances like gums and pectin, which form a gel-like substance in the presence of liquid. Cholesterol that is stored in the blood is used to produce bile acids; and therefore, as the gel binds the cholesterol and bile acids in the small intestine, it is eliminated from our body with regular bowel movements. This action of gelling and binding is also responsible for soluble Fibre’s ability to promote a feeling of fullness.
In contrast, insoluble Fibre is the “roughage” in our diet that helps promote a healthy digestive system.
FibreLife is a blend of naturally-occurring water-soluble Fibres that together can absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. FibreLife’s blend has a water-binding capacity that is many times greater than glucomannan alone and tenfold greater than other soluble Fibres such as psyllium, flax seeds, or guar gum. It’s FibreLife’s unique blend of specific Fibres in specific ratios that make FibreLife so potent. This means that smaller doses of FibreLife can have greater beneficial health effects than other Fibres, as well as supporting safe, sustainable weight loss – in other words, a small amount of FibreLife is equivalent to a large of other Fibres.
Take 1 to 2 capsules prior to each meal with 250 – 500 mL of water with each capsule, up to 3 times per day. Make sure you consume in total at least 3 L of water per day.
Whenever increasing Fibre intake, it is important to start slowly and increase as your body adjusts. Begin by taking 1 capsule daily with 250 – 500 mL of water. After a few days, take 1 capsule twice daily, each with 250 – 500 mL of water. Continue to add 1 capsule every few days until you reach the recommended dose or a dose your body is comfortable with.
Fibre is essential for children’s health as well. However, due to its high potency and powerful gelling capacity, it is recommended that only children 13 years of age and older take FibreLife. Thirteen is the age individuals are considered adult from a nutrition point-of-view.
For best results, it is essential that FibreLife be taken consistently on a daily basis.
Since FibreLife absorbs many times its own weight in water, not enough water will cause FibreLife to become so viscous that it is essentially a hard ball in our digestive tract. This can lead to constipation. However, with plenty of water, a nice smooth gel forms, which does the opposite – eases constipation and promotes bowel regularity.
If you take any medications and/or supplements, it is recommended that you take them at least one hour before taking FibreLife. This will help ensure that both your medication and FibreLife can work effectively.
For normal people who are following the directions for use, there should not be any side-effects. However, as with any soluble Fibre product, if insufficient amounts of water are taken, constipation may result. Also, for those who currently lack Fibre in their diet, Fibre should be added slowly or else some gastrointestinal discomfort (such as gas and bloating) may result.
