Hi, I'm Dr Kevin Passero, lead medical advisor for Vitabase. Enfuz products deliver a convenient
cost effective to satisfy all of your core nutrient needs. It does this by providing
a high potency multi vitamin, antioxidant rich super fruit formula, GI supporting probiotics,
Co Q 10 for brain and cardiovascular health, high quality fish oils and immune supporting
doses of Vitamin D. As you are probably aware, the foundational
nutritional supplement in Enfuz is a high quality multivitamin and mineral. Vitamins
and minerals play a crucial role in maintaining health in that they support almost every function
of the body. Due to the fact that most Americans do not consume the required five servings
of fruits and vegetables daily, it is very difficult to rely on diet alone for a complete
range of nutrients. Even the best diet cannot guarantee optimal
nutrient levels because the food we eat has been grown in nutrient deprived soils. High-volume
farming methods, chemical fertilizers, and the use of pesticides all decrease the mineral
and vitamin content of soil in which our food supplies grow. Other stressors to our food
such as processing, long term storage and cooking can also reduce the nutrient content.
In addition, other factors such as environmental toxins, stress, the natural aging process,
disease states, nutrient depleting medication and poor lifestyle habits can also increase
a person's requirements of certain vitamins and minerals.
While there are many different multivitamins on the market, you will find they are not
all the same. As an example, One-a-day formulas are very popular but because you can only
cram so many milligrams in one tablet, they are going to be extremely limited by either
the number of ingredients included, or they will often provide minimum amounts of the
ingredients contained in the formula. Each packet of Enfuz contains 3 tablets of
a high quality multivitamin. In this formula, you will get generous amounts of all the major
vitamins and minerals, and a lot more. This multivitamin is loaded with additional helpful
nutrients, especially antioxidants from sources such as vegetables, ginseng, green tea, and
grapeseed extract. Let me talk briefly about the importance of
Antoxidants. Antioxidants are special nutrients that help protect your cells against the damaging
effects of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules produced during certain metabolic
processes in your body or caused by environmental exposure to toxins such as smoke or radiation.
Antioxidants are found in many foods, especially fruits and vegetables. The antioxidant content
of a product is measured by something called its ORAC value. A high ORAC value indicates
high level of antioxidants. A high ORAC value is good, but scientists
now tell us that getting antioxidants from a wide variety of sources is also important.
That is one of the benefits to a product like Enfuz. One of the key formulas included in
each serving of Enfuz is the Vitabase super fruit formula.
This super fruit formula contains extracts from fruits with especially high levels of
antioxidants such as acai, mangosteen, noni, pomegranate, and goji berry. All of these
ingredients are loaded with a wide variety of antioxidants.
The formula also includes Resveratrol, a nutrient that is found in red Wine. Recent research
has demonstrated some exciting benefits of this unique antioxidant. There are many companies
offering juices containing one or more of the fruits found in this formula. While these
products are good and do provide benefits because of the antioxidants that they contain,
they often do not provide a wide variety of different types of antioxidants. Each one
of these Super Fruits contains unique antioxidant properties, as well as other unique plant
compounds associated that help produce health benefits. Combining extracts from all of these
fruits into one formula is a great way to insure you are getting the variety that you
need to provide maximum protection from free radicals.
You may not realize it, but there are 100 billion bacterial organisms living in your
digestive system. In fact, you have more bacteria in your body than you have your own human
cells. Keeping a good balance between the friendly bacteria and the bad bacteria in
the digestive system is essential to good health. The bad bacteria in your colon can
cause a number of digestive problems including nausea, bloating, gas, irritable bowel syndrome,
and heartburn. Besides digestive problems, lack of friendly
bacteria can severely cripple the immune system leading to many other health problems. Most
people don't realize that 70 percent of your immune system is located in your gastro intestinal
system. Keeping a healthy balance of friendly bacteria
is vital to good health. Unfortunately, due to stress, poor diets, use of antibiotics,
and other factors, it is very common for people to have lower levels of friendly bacteria.
One of the best ways to re-build the population of friendly bacteria in the colon is to supplement
probiotics every day in conjunction with a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
High quality probiotic supplements can deliver billions of viable healthy bacteria to the
colon. All Enfuz products contain a variety of different
species of friendly bacteria. This is important because different types of bacteria perform
different functions such as breaking down certain kinds of food or battling different
types of invading organisms. Also, the probiotic formulas used in Enfuz
also contain FOS or Fructo-oligosaccharides. This special nutrient provides food for the
friendly bacteria to help ensure their survival upon reaching the intestinal system.
Over the past few years, Vitamin D supplements have become very popular due to study after
study showing its benefits. Because Vitamin D is so important, Enfuz contains an extra
1500 IU tablet in addition to the 400 IUs of Vitamin D included in the multi-vitamin
formula.
Vitamin D has been often called the sunshine vitamin because your body naturally produces
it when exposed to the sun. Unfortunately, because people spend most of their time indoors
and keep the skin covered with sunscreen or clothing while outside, Vitamin D production
in most people is low. Deficiencies in Vitamin D can lead to a wide
variety of health problems including cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, asthma, diabetes,
weak bones and more. There are two types of Vitamin D commonly
used in supplements: Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 also known as cholecalciferol
is the type of Vitamin D produced by the body when exposed to sunlight. Studies suggest
that D3 is the most beneficial kind of Vitamin D for supplementation purposes.
Each daily packet of Enfuz contains a total of 1900 IU of vitamin D3. Now it is important
to have your levels of Vitamin D checked by your primary care doctor. Although the amount
included in the Enfuz product has been determined safe by the Institute of Medicine for daily
intake in adults, overconsumption of Vitamin D is can be potentially dangerous so again,
it is very important to have it monitored by a primary care physician. In addition,
the amount of Vitamin D in the Enfuz product might not be enough for every person, and
the only way to determine if you need more is to have your levels checked regularly.
Coq10 is a nutrient that is similar to a vitamin. Coq10 is used by the body to provide energy,
and maintain healthy cells. It also functions as a powerful antioxidant to fight the damaging
effects of free radicals in the body. As people get older, it is common for levels of Coq10
to decrease in the body. Other things besides age that can lead to
an increased need for Co Q 10 are smoking, certain heart conditions, diabetes, cancer,
and some prescription drugs. Coq10 is considered by many to be one of the
most important antioxidants for maintaining a healthy neurological and cardiovascular
system. CoQ10 has been studied extensively for its cardiovascular benefits, and many
of these studies have produced encouraging results particularly in helping to maintain
healthy blood pressure levels. It is very difficult for a nutritional regimen
to be considered complete unless it contains Omega-3 fatty acids. Contrary to what many
people think, not all fat is bad and some fats are actually very good for you. Consuming
fish products is a great way to add some of these beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids to your
diet. Fish oil is included in Enfuz because it is a rich source of two very important
Omega-3 fatty acids - DHA and EPA. Now DHA is especially important to help maintain
normal brain function. Studies have shown that having DHA in your diet can help improve
learning ability, while DHA deficiencies can lead to a host of problems including ADHD,
depression, heart disease, and more. EPA, the other Omega-3 fatty acid found in
fish oil functions differently from DHA in the body, and while it is important for brain
health, it is probably more beneficial for helping to maintain a healthy cardiovascular
system due to its potent anti inflammatory actions.
The quality of fish oil supplements is very important. Because of the condition of many
environments, it is easy for fish to become contaminated with toxins like Mercury and
PCBs. Our fish oil is carefully distilled to filter out any contaminants.
Enfuz Basic contains a basic fish oil with 180 mg of DHA and 120 mg of EPA per 1000 mg
serving. The Enfuz Advanced formula contains a fish oil supplement with over 4 times the
amount of EPA and DHA of Enfuz Basic. This advanced formula is also enteric coated which
virtually eliminates an unpleasant after taste. I hope this information has been helpful for
you. I'm Kevin Passero wishing you the best of health.
