NexLev Designed Vitamins

For many years Herb’s clients have looked to him for advice on the kind of supplements they need to achieve optimum health and fitness. Because Herb is very particular about what goes into a daily supplement and had a hard time finding one that satisfied his rigorous requirements, he finally decided to just create the perfect daily supplements.

To achieve the perfect recipes* and ensure his clients are not deficient in any area, Herb worked with respected company Douglas Laboratories to manufacture the supplements. They include:

• Nexlev Mega Min for your daily minerals: This daily supplement gives your body the minerals it relies on to control your hormone counts, bone structure and nervous system.

• Nexlev Opti-EPA for your daily need for Omega-3 fatty acids: This essential daily supplement has been shown to support good cardiovascular health as well as good brain and joint function.

• Nexlev Ultra Preventive III with Zinc Picolinate for your daily vitamins: Take a daily multivitamin as a preventive maintenance tactic. For example, boost your immune system with Vitamin C. Antioxidants such as Vitamins D and E are great for your bones and joints. The goal is to eliminate the chance of being deficient in any vitamin which can wreak havoc on your body.

If you’re looking for a supplement that avoids unnecessary additives and is concerned with your body’s best performance — from joint and muscles to proper energy levels — these are for you. However, Herb doesn’t insist you use his supplement if you work with him.

If you’re interested in ordering any of these supplements or would like more information, contact us.

Nexlev Mega-Min

Description:
Mega-Min is a comprehensive mineral formula that contains well tolerated and highly absorbable chelated and complexed minerals.

Functions:
Minerals play a variety of essential roles throughout the body. Calcium is the principal mineral constituent of bone and is thus essential for healthy bone structure and function. Calcium also participates fundamentally in blood clotting, nerve conduction, and muscle contraction. Iodine is necessary for the synthesis of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These thyroid hormones regulate the body’s metabolic rate. Magnesium is involved in energy metabolism, and is notably important in the heart, skeletal muscles, and nervous system.  Copper regulates iron metabolism and activates superoxide dismutase, a powerful endogenous antioxidant. Zinc is important for growth, immune system function, protein synthesis, antioxidant mechanisms, and wound healing. Chromium is required for normal blood sugar and lipid metabolism; it is an integral component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF).

Manganese is essential for antioxidant systems in the body, bone growth, fat metabolism, and protein, nucleic acid, and cartilage synthesis. Potassium is involved in normal muscle tone, nerve function, and many enzymes. Selenium is an essential cofactor of glutathione peroxidase, a potent antioxidant.

Nexlev Opti-EPA

Description:
Opti-EPA™ is concentrated marine fish oil, providing enriched levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 300 mg) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 200 mg).  Opti-EPA™ delivers high levels of EPA and DHA, and is lower in saturated fatty acids than regular marine fish oil. Opti-EPA™ is strictly screened for the absence of any toxic metals and chemicals, and is completely free of cholesterol. The oil is carefully processed and handled to avoid oxidation.

Functions:
Typical diets in developed countries deliver large amounts of saturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated omega-6 linoleic and arachidonic acids and low levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

Throughout evolution, humans were accustomed to diets providing roughly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. However, during the last 200 years, the ratio of dietary omega-6:omega-3 fatty acids increased from about 1:1 to 20-25:1.  Leading health professionals now recommend a ratio between 4:1 and 10:1.

A healthy balance of dietary omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids appears to be a prerequisite for normal immune function. Dietary linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6) is a precursor to arachidonic acid (20:4) which in turn is a precursor for pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4, and platelet aggregating thromboxane A2. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA provide a natural counterbalance, because they serve as precursors for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3, and decrease the formation of prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2.

Among other factors, sufficient dietary levels of EPA, DHA or other omega-3 fatty acids are also important in the regulation of normal blood lipoprotein and healthy cholesterol metabolism.

Nexlev Ultra Preventive III with Zinc Picolinate

Multiple Vitamin-Mineral-Trace Element Supplement

Description:
Ultra Preventive® III with Zinc Picolinate contains Metafolin®, a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as well as 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving. 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health, as it participates as a cofactor in a reaction that involves the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)).

In certain populations, the body’s ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences. Metafolin® contains only the Sisomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Additional vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) has been added to this formula as numerous scientists now feel that supplementation with vitamin D at levels greater than previously thought necessary is critical to helping maintain overall health.

Functions:
Studies show that a high percentage of adults and children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management and prevention of chronic diseases. Ultra Preventive III has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients are purposely omitted (phosphorus); others, such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms, such as amino acid chelates and other scientifically validated and clinically superior forms. Zinc is an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways. General signs of human zinc deficiency indicate that zinc has important functions in maintaining immune function, reproduction, healthy skin, and growth.
