Joint
Formula
A combination of
nutrients and herbs
designed to support
normal joint function
and integrity. It com-
bines some of the
most potent agents
known for reducing
inflammation and maintaining and
rebuilding the matrix of collagen and con-
nective tissue of the joint.
Arthritis is a condition characterized by
an inflammation of a joint with accompa-
nying pain, swelling, stiffness and redness.
Osteoarthritis, a natural consequence of
aging joints, occurs when the cartilage
cushion which lines the joints becomes
stiffer and rougher. Rheumatoid arthritis is
the most severe type of the disease. The
body’s immune system acts against the
joints and surrounding tissue the same
way it would attack an unwanted invader.
Joints in the hands, feet and arms become
extremely painful, stiff and eventually
deformed. This type of arthritis can affect
the entire body.
Among the various methods of treating
arthritis, nutritional and herbal supple-
ments can play a valuable role. Impressive
research, along with growing clinical evi-
dence, shows that Glucosamine and
Chondroitin can relieve symptoms and, it
seems, even reverse the disease. Even
rheumatoid arthritis can be helped. A
recent study showed that people with this
condition do better when their levels of
Vitamin C are higher. Vitamin C, of
course, is a key component of collagen,
which makes up cartilage. Certain herbs
have been shown to reduce inflammation
and pain. Devil’s Claw, for example
(Harpagophytum procumbens), is one
example. The powerful antioxidant com-
ponents of Turmeric, Grape Seed and
Boswellin serve to combat the free-radical
tissue damage and inflammation associat-
ed with this painful condition. We feel
that a combination of anti-inflammatory
and healing nutrients and herbs is the
most effective approach.

Willvite, the complete multivitamin multimineral
A complete, balanced multivitamin-multimineral formula that contains not only all of the
essential vitamins, antioxidants and trace minerals, but also a full days requirement of calci-
um and magnesium.
Calcium and magnesium, as well as the other minerals, are no less important to your health
than the vitamins. Do not make the critical mistake of only taking a vitamin supplement. It is
impossible to get your daily calcium and/or magnesium requirements from any one-a-day or
two-a-day multivitamin supplement. A balanced multivitamin-multimineral formula should
be the cornerstone, or foundation, of your supplement regimen. Additional supplements can
be added to your program, depending on your particular health needs and concerns.
Willvite is best taken two tablets, twice a day. This will provide for maximum utilization,
especially for the water-soluble vitamins and minerals.
• Now: with added CoQ10 and Lutein! . . . and Iron-Free!
Four Willvite Tablets Provide: Vitamin A (acetate), 5,000 IU; Natural Beta Carotene (D.
Salina), 15,000 IU; Vitamin C (ascorbic acid/calcium ascorbate), 1,000 mg; Vitamin D-3

Diabetes Type 2 and
Magnesium Supplements
Diabetes is a disease that is char-
acterized by high blood sugar levels
and is associated with a high risk of
heart related complications...
...and heart disease. Insulin is the
hormone that helps with the regu-
lation of glucose (sugar) metabo-
lism. Glucose is the basic fuel
burned by all of the body's cells
and is vital to life. In order for glu-
cose to be used it must first get into
the cells. Insulin is the hormone
secreted by the pancreas, that
enables glucose to move from the
blood into the cells where it can be
used for energy. Magnesium is
needed for insulin to deliver glu-
cose into the cells.
Type I Diabetes
In people with diabetes, this sys-
tem has broken down. With type I
diabetes insulin is not produced in
adequate amounts causing blood
glucose to rise to dangerous and
even lethal levels if insulin is not
administered. The kidneys must
excrete the excess glucose, which
causes the kidneys to also eliminate
magnesium which leads to a defi-
ciency in magnesium and a further
risk of heart disease and heart
related complications.
People with type I diabetes need
and respond to insulin injections.
They also need magnesium supple-
mentation to avoid the higher risk
of heart disease.
Type II Diabetes
People with type II diabetes pro-
duce plenty of insulin, but their
cells do not respond to it, their
muscle and fat cells cannot take in
normal amounts of glucose from
the blood. Their glucose delivery to
their cells is blocked even though
they secrete enough insulin. This
condition is called insulin resist-
ance. Magnesium is needed for
insulin to bring glucose into the
cells, therefore it follows that a
deficiency in magnesium in the
cells would be a contributing factor
to if not a cause of insulin resist-
ance.
The incidence of type II diabetes
is growing as the consumption of
modern processed foods increases
throughout the world. While this
disease has a genetic component, it
mostly becomes visible after years
of living on a processed food diet
that is high in refined foods, includ-
ing sugar and low magnesium.
When such a lifestyle results in a
low magnesium content within the
cells, the cells become resistant to
insulin so that glucose cannot enter
the cells. A sustained high blood
glucose results as in people with
type I diabetes, which further
increases the excretion of magne-
sium as well as glucose. This situa-
tion further exacerbates the health
issues associated with this condi-
tion.
Magnesium has been found to
improve insulin's response to
dietary sugar and to improve the
action of insulin in regulating blood
sugar levels.
According to the American
Diabetes Association, projections of
a continued rapid growth in the
incidence of type 2 diabetes
requires a cost-effective approach
that can be widely employed to
prevent or delay this major disor-
der. Published in the journal
Diabetes Care, two recent studies
suggest that an increased intake of
magnesium could have a role in
reducing the risk of type 2 dia-
betes.
Summary
In people with either type of dia-
betes, the tendency toward low
magnesium levels increases the risk
of heart disease. People with type I
diabetes often have a low cellular
magnesium level because of con-
stantly high blood glucose levels.
This results in increased excretion
of magnesium through the urine. In
addition, the utilization of glucose
by the cells depends on magne-
sium, so when there is a large
amount of glucose that needs pro-
cessing, there is an increased need
for magnesium.
For people with type I diabetes,
magnesium supplements can help
prevent heart disease, but they can
never make insulin secretion nor-
mal. However, they can improve
the response to any insulin that is
secreted or to the insulin adminis-
tered by injection.
The sustained high blood sugar in
type II diabetes also results in high
urinary loss of magnesium. This
intensifies the magnesium deficien-
cy that caused the resistance of
cells to insulin in the first place,
making type II diabetes a progres-
sive disease if not treated.
Supplementation with magnesium
can improve response to insulin
and can arrest the disease process,
especially if combined with exer-
cise and weight loss.
Supplementation
Take magnesium in a form that
can be completely dissolved in
water. In this state it will absorb
quickly into the body, producing
almost instant relief.
According to Carolyn Dean, MD,
author and certified clinical nutri-
tionist, the powdered form of mag-
nesium citrate is the best because
you start absorbing it straight away,
even in the mouth. So, powdered
first, and then capsules, and then
tablets. The tablets usually have a
lot of binders and fillers and are
harder to dissolve than capsules.
