HEALTHY INFLAMMATION, HEALTHY AGING I am thrilled as always to announce that we are featuring Nopalea™ in April’s catalog. Formulated to help you manage and maintain inflammation, it is our Members’ number one choice for healthy inflammation support.

Learning to manage and maintain healthy inflammation levels may be the most important thing you can do to support healthy aging. Extending quality of life as long as possible is a pursuit that makes life worth living. Lifestyle choices including a healthy diet, dietary supplements such as Nopalea, and the right amount of physical activity can have an amazing impact on quality of life.

Each week I go into our CARE call center and listen to calls coming in from our customers. It is one of my favorite things to do as I get to know and understand them better. This is what I hear in their words about Nopalea: “It helps me so much; I would not want to be without it.” And I agree, as I take it each day and pour it into my protein shake. See pages 4-5 for more information about this popular product.

Also this month, orders of $99 or more ship free. This is far below the average order of our customers, so almost everyone can have free shipping during April. Stock up, and enjoy knowing that 100% of your purchasing dollars are going for products!

There is no better investment you can make in what matters most in your life—your health and wellness. Pursue them with passion!

HEALTHY INFLAMMATION SUPPORT

NOPALEA™

Because healthy inflammation is key to aging well Nopalea, a delicious nutrient-rich drink originating from the fruit of the nopal cactus, supports the normal and essential anti-inflammatory function performed by the immune system—and may help lower inflammation.1 According to a study in the European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety: “The fruit share some constituents with the stems, and contain additional unique polyphenols and Betalain pigments with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.”2 WHAT ARE BETALAINS?

These plant-based compounds not only give the nopal fruit its distinctive bright red color, but they also have antioxidant properties.

Because the nopal cactus used in Nopalea comes from one of the most extreme deserts in the world (the Sonoran Desert), it needs the unique nutritional profile of Betalains in order to survive in its extreme environment.

How about you? Are you affected by inflammation?

Nopalea and these nutrients from the Sonoran Desert may help you experience greater wellness.

SCIENCE CONFIRMS WHAT ANCIENT PEOPLE KNEW

Traditions of the past, health choices of today Imagine you’re wandering through Arizona’s sweltering Sonoran Desert when suddenly you see a splash of vibrant color. You approach and find a cactus oasis: broad green pads bursting with fragrant blooms and clusters of purple fruit.

NOPAL FRUIT: JEWEL OF THE DESERT

This Sonoran desert cactus is nopal, and its pads, fruit and flowers have been prized by Native American and Mesoamerican cultures for millennia.1 Today, modern science is revealing why. Studies show the nopal fruit supplies vitamins, minerals and fiber—along with a special class of pigments with antioxidant properties.2 The traditional native people ate the nopal fruit as part of their daily diet, which explains why they flourished with a long lifespan and vibrant good health. Today, this vast desert continues to provide an abundance of nopal fruit that we too, can use to enhance our health.

HEALTHY INFLAMMATION SUPPORT

REDUCING INFLAMMATION NATURALLY Inflammation has been called the “secret killer” for its stealthy role in disease; fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to help protect yourself.1,3-5,7 Anti-inflammatory foods Studies demonstrate that a Mediterranean-style diet— fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, fish, minimal red meat—can help lower inflammation markers, especially when combined with exercise and other healthy habits.2,4-5,7 Other foods with anti-inflammatory properties include: fatty fish such as salmon; assorted fruits and vegetables; spices such as curry and ginger; and green, white and oolong teas.

CURRENT GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES & 10 FOUNDATIONAL VALUES

Both assure the highest quality product experience Recent media reports have raised the question of whether herbal and dietary supplements actually contain the ingredients listed on the label. At TriVita, our unflinching commitment to quality means that if an ingredient is listed on the label, we guarantee that it’s in the bottle. We make sure that all dietary supplement ingredients in our products come only from vendors who comply with the highest standards of Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).

Top-notch quality control processes are the backbone of TriVita’s 10 Foundational Values (see page 12) and key to ensuring that our Members have the best possible product experience. So when you read a TriVita label, rest assured that what you see is, in fact, what you get: a product manufactured in the United States with quality, integrity and innovation.

Exercise One group of scientists analyzed the results of over 30 studies and came to the conclusion that a combination of exercise and diet had the most significant antiinflammatory effects.6 References: 1 Church TS et al. Aterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, 2002; 22: 1869.

Omega3 Prime

Premium fish oil concentrate Essential to human health, we can only get omega-3s from food or supplements. But all too often, we take in more omega-6s than omega-3s—and some omega-6s can be pro-inflammatory. Omega3 Prime provides 1,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per serving in easy-to-swallow, lemon-flavored soft gels.

ENERGY, STAMINA & PERFORMANCE SUPPORT

Do you sometimes feel like your “get up and go” just “got up and went”? Keep your batteries charged and powerful with TriVita’s line of energy support supplements. Life takes vitality, stamina and focus, whatever the demands on your time. Don’t just get by—get in gear toward your goals, every day.

EASY WAYS TO BOOST YOUR ENERGY Lacking in energy? Don’t rely on stimulants or other artificial methods to kick-start your day. Regain your vitality with these simple tips.

Stand up straight A simple adjustment to your posture may help improve your energy levels, along with boosting your mood.1 Take a nap A short “power” nap (no longer than 20 minutes), may increase your alertness and performance.2 References: 1 http://news.sfsu.edu/research-posture-yields-insight-treating-depression 2 http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/sdd/strategies

Evaluate your meds Some medications may cause fatigue, including antihistamines, blood pressure medicines, sleeping pills, steroids and diuretics.3 Nosh on this Although sugary and carb-laden snacks can give you a quick burst of energy, it won’t last. Instead, opt for a healthier snack that includes protein: pair peanut butter with an apple or cheese with whole-wheat crackers.

CoEnzyme Q-10

Much more than just heart health If you feel low on energy, it may be originating from all the way down at the cell level. CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) is a vitamin-like antioxidant found in almost all your cells and is a key element in energy production. CoQ-10 levels drop in the body as we age, potentially leading to low CoQ-10 levels.

ENERGY, STAMINA & PERFORMANCE SUPPORT

“B” IN THE KNOW Vitamin B-12 plays a key role in human health, including metabolism—and that means all the physical and chemical processes in the body that convert or use energy. Below, some important things to know about B-12 deficiency.

B-12 in your diet? It may not matter.

As we age, it becomes increasingly difficult to absorb B-12 from food: as many as 10% to 30% of older people may be unable to absorb B-12 from their diet. This may be the leading cause of B-12 deficiency in adults.1,2 It could be age—or a B-12 deficiency.

Many of us expect certain “age-related” signs and symptoms. However, many of these symptoms may be a manifestation of B-12 deficiency: loss of concentration, memory loss, disorientation, weakness, tiredness, symptoms of dementia and more.3 Check your medicine cabinet.

Long-term use of metformin (a diabetes drug) and proton pump inhibitors (used for acid reflux and peptic ulcer disease) has been associated with B-12 deficiency.4 References: 1 Ryan-Harshman M et al. Canadian Family Physician, 2008; 54: 536.

2 Andres E et al. European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2003; 14: 221.

3 Baik HW et al. Annual Review in Nutrition, 1999; 19: 357.

4 Kolber MR et al. Canadian Family Physician, 2014; 60: 111.

Over 50?

Chances are you’re B-12 deficient1 VITAMIN B-12 FOR MENTAL CLARITY, FOCUS AND ENERGY

Vitamin B-12 is a nutrient that is essential for life and healthy aging. It is required for metabolism, a process that encompasses all the physical and chemical processes in the body that convert or use energy. This includes breathing, blood circulation, muscle contraction, food digestion and brain/nerve function.2,3 Signs of low Vitamin B-12 levels include weakness, fatigue, motor disturbances and a range of behavioral changes including mood and personality.4 Therefore, supplementing with Vitamin B-12 may help support mental clarity, focus and energy.

You could have a B-12 deficiency if you:1 • Are over age 50 • Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet • Have had gastrointestinal disorders Get the B-12 you need As science continues to show more and more ways that a lack of B-12 adversely affects our health, it becomes even more important that we use a supplement that effectively provides our bodies and our brains with the Vitamin B-12 they so desperately need.

KEY SIGNS OF DEFICIENCY

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns healthcare providers to watch their patients for these signs of low Vitamin B-12 levels:4 • Fatigue

• Anemia

• Weakness

•T ingling of the hands and feet

• Fainting

• Vision loss

• Shortness of breath

• Hallucinations

• Pale skin

•H eart palpitations

It’s important to note that even if you have any of these signs, it does not necessarily mean that you have a B-12 deficiency. These signs could stem from many causes. However, it does mean that your healthcare provider might want to rule out B-12 deficiency as a possible culprit.

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT

Every day, it takes a strong immune system—and a healthy gut function—to keep you at optimal wellness.

Help support your health and well-being with TriVita’s quality supplements. With ingredients sourced from around the globe, these unique products are “must-haves.”

PREMATURE AGING AND YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM Did you know that your immune system plays a role in keeping you feeling and looking young? Premature aging is one of the perils of a weakened immune system, so help keep your immune system strong with these steps: • Get between 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night.

• Avoid contact with sick people and wash your hands frequently.

• Avoid foods that increase inflammation, including foods high in trans fats and nitrates.

• Lower your stress levels.

• Eat healthy. Diets similar to the Mediterranean diet are associated with healthy aging.

Essential D

Help protect against Vitamin D deficiency Vitamin D supports whole-body wellness, including immune function.

The immune system needs Vitamin D to help protect against invading bacteria and viruses.1 A deficiency in this important nutrient has been associated with increased susceptibility to infection.2 It’s estimated that more than one billion people worldwide aren’t getting as much Vitamin D as they need.3 Each Essential D soft gel provides 1,000 IU of Vitamin D3, the same form made by the body.

CoEnzyme Q-10

Support a healthy heart and more CoEnzyme Q-10 is an important “bioenergetic antioxidant” that’s concentrated in the heart. The natural aging process may deplete CoQ-10, potentially leading to low CoQ-10 status. Statin drugs may also deplete CoQ-10. This “CoQ-10 drain” may affect your heart: Low CoQ-10 has been linked to diminished cardiac energy and cardiovascular health concerns.1-4 TriVita CoQ-10 may address these heart health concerns because it helps to replenish what statin drugs and aging may have taken away.5 By correcting your CoQ-10 status, you may promote this unique nutrient’s diverse range of cardio-supportive biological activities:

Feeling down? It could be inflammation Although commonly associated with physical health conditions, long-term inflammation is now linked to mental health issues such as a depression, according to a new study.

Researchers from Rice University and Ohio State University in the U.S. reviewed 200 papers on depression and inflammation and found that inflammation can “fan the flames” of depression.

Among patients with clinical depression, they found that concentrations of two inflammatory markers, C-reactive protein and IL-6, were elevated up to 50%.

“Previous research shows that individuals who have socio-economic issues or had problems in their early lives are already at higher risk for mental issues because of these stresses in their lives,” said study co-author Christopher Fagundes. “As a result, they

often experience a higher occurrence of chronic inflammation, which we have linked to depression.”

Interestingly, the depression caused by inflammation is resistant to common therapy methods, but can be treated with yoga, meditation, non-steroidal antiinflammatories and exercise.

“We still have a lot to learn about how inflammation impacts depression, but we are making progress,” said Fagundes. “We hope one day this work will lead to new treatments that are part of standard psychiatric care.”
