more significant dent in your personal CO2e
contribution than almost any other change
you can make. That’s right, in addition to the
many health benefits associated with diets
rich in nutrient dense, whole plant-based
foods, a plant-based diet can drastically
lessen your strain on the environment.
According to a study published by the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations , livestock production makes up 18%
of all CO2 emissions—more than the entire
transportation sector. One of the easiest ways
to reduce your food-related emissions—and
(conveniently) to support your long term
health—is to choose more whole, plant-
based foods. The less processed your food is,
the better—not just for your health, but from
an environmental standpoint, too. The more
processing and refining needed before you
eat it, the more energy has gone into making
that food, while stripping away key nutrients.
Going plant-based doesn’t have to be diffi-
cult. If you are looking for a convenient
plant-based supplement that provides essen-
tial protein, Omega-3s, fiber, greens and
antioxidant support look no further than
Vega One. Vega One is an all-in-one nutri-
tional shake that provides all your daily
essentials. Great tasting with absolutely no
preservatives, added sugar, or artificial flavors
or colors, Vega One is also dairy, gluten and
soy free.
Made exclusively from plant-based, whole
food ingredients, just one serving of Vega
One provides 50% of your daily intake of
vitamins & minerals, 15 g protein, 6 g fiber,
1.5 g Omega-3 and is loaded with antioxi-
dants, probiotics, and greens. Simply mix one
level scoop of Vega One in 1-1.5 cups of ice-
cold water, juice or non-dairy beverage,
shake, and enjoy. Better yet, add Vega One
to your favorite smoothie recipe for a deli-
cious and nutrient-boosting smoothie. Enjoy!

Curcumin
Combinations of curcumin and other
nutrients optimized to reduce pain
and inflammation.
A steady stream of published research sup-
ports the health benefits of curcumin.
Rheumatoid arthritis, carviovascular health,
neurodegenerative disease, athterosclerosis,
pulmonary disease, immunity, depression,
joint health, metabolic syndrome, Parkinson’s
disease, cancer--these are just some of the
health conditions associated with recent
studies on curcumin.
Curcumin is the principal medicinal com-
ponent of the herb turmeric. Turmeris is a
tropical plant native to south and south east
Asia. The curcuminoids in turmeric are deep
yellow in color, and are what contribute to
the yellow color of foods and spices such as
mustard and curry.
Curcumin and turmeric extracts have pow-
erful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
action.
Supplements of curcumin are available
from many of the reputable nutritional sup-
plement companies. As a spice, curcumin
(turmeric) is poorly absorbed, so it is difficult
to get the full benefit. But various measures
are taken in preparing supplemental forms of
curcumin that greatly enhance the bioavail-
ability.

Chinese Red Ginseng
Chinese Red Ginseng
Ginseng is the premier adaptogenic, immune-modulating herb.
Chinese Red Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is more “stimulating” or
warming than American Ginseng.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those suffering from
fatigue, burn-out, frequent illness, depression. Red Chinese Ginseng
is thought to increase vigor, energy, vitality and resistance to illness
and environmental or external stress. It is often the preferred adap-
togenic herb for the elderly.
Supplemental Information:
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng increases vigor, energy, vitality
and resistance to illness and environmental stresses. It is best for
those who are depleted and are low on passion in life. It is also
indicted for those working too hard and are afraid of burn out. Red
Chinese Ginseng will increase the stress hormone ACTH from the
pituitary that helps the body adapt to stress. When stress is initiating
the breakdown on one’s innate weakness (genetic, constitutional,
predispositional tendencies), Red Chinese Ginseng will help the
body to cope and therefore assist in many chronic diseases, especial-
ly if debilitating and wasting.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng is not for those in their prime
of life who are full of fire, the Type-A personality. It is for those who
used to be that way and are now not what they used to be. It helps
in the aging process to stay alert, youthful, energetic and adaptive to
environmental changes. It is immunomodulating and keeps the
immune system firing on all levels.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng is a tonic for the 21st century
with the fast paced life style that creates accelerated wear and tear.
It gives more mileage to the body.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng should be considered for
depression in the elderly who might not be chemically depressed in
a St. John’s Wort way (serotonin), but need some energy to process
life with more passion and enjoyment. It is synergistic with Ginkgo
for the elderly.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng is a more yang or warming and
stimulating ginseng than the American. Eleuthero Root (sometimes
referred to as Siberian Ginseng) is not a true Ginseng and is consid-
ered neutral, not warming or cooling.
Phyto-Tech™ Chinese Red Ginseng contains 333 mg of imported
Chinese Red Ginseng per 30 drops.
Dosage: 15-45 drops, 2-3 times per day It is best used as a long
term tonic (1-3 months and longer).

Chlorophyll Extract
Chlorophyll Extract
Often considered the “blood” of plants, chlorophyll is structurally
similar to hemoglobin. It has a protective and detoxifcation
action.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those with heavy metal
toxicity and those looking for cleansing and detoxification properties.
Those with bad breath and body odor. Those suffering from fatigue
and those with slow healing wounds.
Phyto-Tech™ Chlorophyll provides 100 mg Chlorophyll, from
Mulberry leaf, per 30 drops.
Dosage: 15-30 drops in water or juice, 1-2 time daily, or as need-
ed
Supplemental Information:
Chlorophyll is the sunlight collecting molecule in plants that gives
them their green pigment. Plants use chlorophyll to collect light
needed for photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis Chlorophyll mol-
ecules have the ability to convert solar energy into chemical energy
by manufacturing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
Chlorophyll is often referred to as the “blood” of plants.
Interestingly, Chlorophyll molecules are structurally very similar to
human hemoglobin molecules. The difference between the two
being that Chlorophyll carries Magnesium at its center and hemoglo-
bin carries iron at its center. Like iron, Chlorophyll helps the body
build red blood cells and thus increases oxygen availability. It ener-
gizes and revitalizes the body and is helpful for fatigue, shortness of
breath, asthma, altitude sickness and intense physical exertion.
Chlorophyll acts as an internal deodorizer and is helpful for people
with halitosis (bad breath) and body odor. It can be used as an aid to
reduce digestive tract odor from a colostomy or ileostomy and also
fecal odor caused by incontinence. It can also help for foul smelling
gas. Chlorophyll cleanses and nourishes the intestinal tract and is
healing to the mucosal lining. It can also be helpful for constipation.
Chorophyll is an excellent whole body cleanser. It not only detoxi-
fies the digestive tract, but also facilitates cleansing of the blood and
liver and assists in the chelation of heavy metals. It is capable of neu-
tralizing harmful oxidants and may reduce oxidative damage from
certain carcinogens. It also has the ability to form tight molecular
complexes with carcinogens and in doing so blocks the body’s
absorption of them. In a placebo controlled study conducted in
China Chlorophyll supplementation was found to decrease DNA
damage caused by aflatoxin, a liver carcinogen produced by fungus
in moldy grains and legumes. Scientists hope that in populations
with unavoidable dietary aflatoxin exposure Chlorophyll supplemen-
tation could significantly reduce the risk of developing liver cancer.

Cinnamon Bark 40
Cinnamon Bark 40
This is a standardized Cinnamon Bark complex in a liquid filled
veggie cap.
Historically, Cinnamon has been used for various gastrointestinal
problems. More recently, interest has centered on the research
showing that Cinnamon can help normalize blood sugar control.

“Cinnamon may be used for various medical conditions (77;?78). In
a survey of parents in Germany determining the use of complemen-
tary and alternative medicines in children with type 1 diabetes in
four pediatric diabetes centers (located in Leipzig, Berlin, Stuttgart,
and Bonn), 5.6% reported using cinnamon for this indication (79).
Cinnamon has been touted as having a positive effect on postprandi-
al glucose metabolism (80). Its ability to lower blood sugar in individ-
uals with diabetes has been discussed (81). Naturally occurring com-
pounds found in cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), including chromi-
um and polyphenols, may improve insulin sensitivity (82). Human
data suggest that cinnamon exhibits "sweet" properties and may be
used in strategies for reduction of sugar intake (83).
Each two liquid filled veggie caps contain 250 mg of Cinnamon
Bark (alcohol extract), 75 mg of Cinnamon Bark (supercritical carbon
dioxide extract, standardized ro 40 mg Cinnamaldehydes.
Also available in a vegetarian capsule form. Each veggie capsule
