RESEARCH
BACKS THIS UP!
Researchers have found that the ingredients in
Active 8 are essential for converting blood sugar into energy.
The lack of this ingredient in modern processed foods suggests
that the body does not have all the agents required to
metabolize these sugars. In Health and Healing , Dr.
Julian Whitaker refers to recent tests in which the
ingredients used in Active 8 increase energy levels by 50% and
speeded up the burning of fat.
Dr.
Lawrence Resnick, endocrinologist and cardiologist
at Cornell University Medical Center in New York has
discovered that every individual with high blood pressure has
lower than normal levels of magnesium inside their cells. The
intracellular magnesium, called free magnesium differs from
magnesium in the blood steam, which is known as circulating
magnesium. Furthermore, this low lever of magnesium inside the
cells occurs not only in hypertensives, but in people who are
obese and in diabetics. Resnik’s discovery may help explain
why these three conditions are so often found in the same
individual.
Dr.
Elson Haas, M.D. author of Staying healthy with
Nutrition, states supplementing magnesium has been shown to be
very helpful in alleviating many symptoms relate to the
menstrual period. Menstrual cramps, irritability, fatigue,
depression and water retention have been lessened with
magnesium, usually given along with calcium and often with
vitamin B-6.
Dr. Haas has also stressed the
importance of potassium. Potassium is a very significant body
mineral, important to both cellular and electrical functions.
It is one of the main blood minerals. Potassium is very
important in the cellular biochemical reactions and energy
metabolism; it participates in the synthesis of protein and
amino acids in the cell. Potassium also functions in
carbohydrate metabolism; it is active in glycogen and glucose
metabolism, converting glucose to glycogen that can be stored
in the liver for future energy. Potassium is important for
normal growth and for building muscle.

- Dr. R.D. Abbott(and others) -
- Magnesium shown to lower heart disease risk.
- Based on a 30 year study of over 7000 men, researchers from the University of Virginia School of Medicine concluded that "...the intake of dietary magnesium is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease.*" Their findings were reported in the American Journal of Cardiology. Men with lower intake of magnesium had a 50-100% greater liklihood of developing coronary heart disease than those with the highest intake.
