LifeWorks Recommended Supplements

BodyHealth Intestinal Cleanse (call 727-466-6789 to order)	Regular bowel movements are essential to good health, and should occur 2-3 times daily. If the toxins and waste which enter the intestines don’t move on through and out of the body in a timely manner, the intestinal barrier wall can allow the re-absorption of toxic waste into the portal circulation. BodyHealth Intestinal Cleanse promotes healthy bowel function and is a very gentle eliminator. It can be taken 1-2 times a day to maintain bowel movements at 2-3 per day.
BodyHealth Complete+Detox (call 727-466-6789 to order)	The ideal daily multi-vitamin, multi-mineral, and antioxidant blend in a base of 16 organic fruit and vegetable whole food concentrates with specific herbs and amino acids added to support healthy detoxification. For detoxification and cleansing, BodyHealth Complete + Detox provides the most comprehensive source of nutrients. It contains an entire panel of 54 ingredients to aid and support detoxification, including over 1000mg per day of whole fruit and vegetable concentrates.
Ultraflora Plus (call 727-466-6789 to order)	Eighty per cent of the body’s immune system is located in the intestine, and it thrives in an environment of healthy flora. If the ‘bad’ bacteria in the gut outweighs the ‘good’ bacteria, then the immune system ceases to function properly and illness and disease can occur. Ultraflora Plus provides no fewer than 15 billion combined live organisms per serving, and can help to create and maintain a healthy immune system.
Vitamin D (call 727-466-6789 to order)	The scope of problems is so big with Vitamin D deficiency we suggest that everyone get a blood test to measure their Vitamin D level. Even though D is known as the “sunshine vitamin” since sun exposure promotes its production, here in Florida we find that almost all of our patients are deficient when tested. Many times these conditions may not show up for months or years after being deficient, so we suggest everyone has a test and until they are able to do so, the supplement with 5,000 IU a day, available in capsule or liquid form.
Silverbiotic (call 727-466-6789 to order)	Silver has long been known for its healing properties – many years ago babies were given silver spoons to suck on when they were sick. This bionic silver product is available in a liquid form, and can be taken daily as the first line of defense against disease. It also greatly enhances the immune system and helps it to fight back when the body is compromised.
MAP (call 727-466-6789 to order)	Many people believe they get sufficient protein from their diet, and yet we find that most of our patients are deficient. It takes 22 amino acids to make the 50,000 different proteins we must have to be healthy. On its own, the body can manufacture 14 of those amino acids, and the other eight come from the diet. These eight are what are known as “essential amino acids”. Some foods claim to be rich in amino acids, and yet only a fraction of their content is absorbed by the body – the rest leaves as waste. At LifeWorks, we recommend Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP), 99% utilized by the body to make protein. – no other form of protein comes close!
Magnesium (call 727-466-6789 to order)	Magnesium is essential to good health and responsible for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, keeps bones strong and importantly it supports a healthy immune system. Magnesium deficiency can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and a compromised immune system. At LifeWorks, we stock magnesium in capsule form and also in a powdered form available in different flavors, which can be mixed with water to make a great drink.
Iodine (call 727-466-6789 to order)	The Thyroid is the master gland of metabolism, and iodine enables the thyroid to produce two essential thyroid hormones which allow for proper functioning – T3 (triiodothyronine), and T4 (thyroxine). Many people are iodine deficient, which can result in hypothyroidism, thyroid enlargement (goiter) and hyperthyroidism. Iodine also helps to protect the thyroid against an onslaught of toxins, such as the recent radioactive fall-out from Japan. At LifeWorks, we consider iodine to be one of the essential daily supplements and we stock it in tablet and liquid form.
Nanogreens (call 727-466-6789 to order)	It is recommended that every person should consume 10 servings of fruit and vegetables per day (preferably organic) in order to help maintain optimum health. However, for most people this is not a reality which is why we recommend taking a daily superfood in a powdered form, such as Nanogreens. One scoop taken daily in water, juice or milk provides the antioxidant power of the 10 servings of fruit and vegetables..
Carlson’s Fish Oil (call 727-466-6789 to order)	Most people do not have enough fish in their diet, particularly with mercury contamination making this healthy food choice a risky one. That in turn can lead to a deficiency in the polyunsaturated Omega 3s – EPA and DHA which are essential for promoting cardiovascular health. Carlson’s Fish Oil is available in liquid form which can be added to smoothies or salad dressings, and also comes in soft gel capsules.
