increased performance distance by 11 per-
cent, and had 1.63 percent less body fat.
Doctors said decaffeinated green tea
extract along with exercise increased fat
metabolism, reduced body fat, and improved
metabolic efficiency, and that exercising at
less than capacity may stimulate the metabo-
lism and help people maintain longer term
training programs.

Pea Protein Builds Muscle
Whey protein is good for building muscle,
but some people can’t tolerate dairy. To find
an alternate, doctors followed 161 men who
had been exercising moderately for 2 to 6
hours per week without trying to build mus-
cle.
The men entered a 12-week weight train-
ing program three days per week while tak-
ing 50 grams of pea or whey protein per day,
or a placebo. After 12 weeks, the pea protein
group had a 20.2 percent increase in bicep
muscle thickness compared to 15.6 and 8.6
percent for whey and placebo, respectively.
Both pea and whey groups saw about a 17
percent increase in strength, with less for
placebo.

Nutrients Improved Circulation
And Reduced Inflammation In
Two New Studies
Creatine Improved Circulation,
Lowered Blood Pressure
Athletes have traditionally used creatine to
build strength and speed for short bursts of
high-intensity exercise, but few studies have
tested creatine for its effects on circulation.
In this study, 40 healthy, moderately active
men, average age 28, took 20 grams of crea-
tine per day.
After one week, while there was little or no
change in resting pulse, body
mass, and signs of inflammation,
systolic and diastolic blood pres-
sure decreased by 1.8 and 1.5
mmHg, respectively.
Blood flow through the
small-
est
blood
ves-
sels,
known as
capillaries, improved,
and density of capillaries
nearest the skin also
increased, contributing
to better blood circu-
lation. Doctors now
Nutrients Ease Chronic
Inflammation
Nutrients reduce C-reactive protein,
lowering chances for chronic disease
What Is C-Reactive Protein?
C-reactive protein, or CRP, is a sign of
inflammation which, when sustained, has
a link to chronic disease. When CRP lev-
els are low, chances for developing car-
diovascular and other chronic diseases
are also low.
Vitamin E
Earlier studies confirm vitamin E has
anti-inflammatory effects, but its role in
reducing C-reactive protein is unclear. In
this review of 12 placebo-controlled stud-
ies covering 495 people, those who took
vitamin E saw CRP levels decline by
about 20 percent on average, with
greater benefits in studies lasting at least
six weeks.
Discussing the findings, doctors said
taking vitamin E may be a good strategy
for decreasing inflammatory conditions
in people who are susceptible to devel-
oping chronic disease, increasing their
chances for remaining healthy, and sug-

Chinese Red Ginseng
g
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 considered 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 peo-
ple 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 consti-
pation.
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
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.
This is of major interest to those with type 2 diabetes.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those with blood sugar
regulation problems, including type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and
cholesterol related conditions.
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.
According to Natural Standard Integrative Medicine database,
“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
contains 410 mg of certified organic Cinnamon Bark.
The Cinnamon used in Phyto-Tech™ Cinnamon supplements is
Cinnamomum cassia, the species utilized in research. It is certified
organic and vegetarian.

Glucosamine And Chondroitin
Reduced Signs Of Systemic
Inflammation
Earlier lab studies found glucosamine and
chondroitin have anti-inflammatory proper-
ties, but there are few studies of the effects
of these nutrients in humans. In this study,
doctors measured signs of inflammation in
217 men and women, aged 50 to 75, who
were, or were not, taking glucosamine or
chondroitin supplements.
Compared to those who did not take chon-
droitin supplements, men and women who
took chondroitin an average of twice per day
had levels of the inflammatory factor—high-
sensitivity C-reactive protein—that were 36
percent lower than non-users. For glu-
cosamine, compared to participants who did
not take a supplement, regular glucosamine
users had levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive
protein 28 percent lower than non-users.
The researchers also measured a second
inflammatory factor, prostaglandin E2, and
found similar lower levels in both glu-
cosamine and chondroitin users compared to
non-users.
