SPECIFIC
SUPPORT
SUPPORT TABS is one of the leading Life Plus products. The original research this great
formula is based on was completed at Rutgers University. The goal was to understand
specific support needed by alcoholics because of the damage done to specific organs in
their bodies by the excessive use of alcohol.
Alcoholics are all hypoglycemic, a condition that is characterized by
wide and varied blood sugar levels. Millions of Americans are affected by this condition
to some degree. Our blood sugar levels fluctuate normally within a limited range, but
problems can develop if those levels change too rapidly or if they get too high or too
low. When they are too high for extended periods of time, diabetes is the result. If the
levels become too low, a condition known as hypoglycemia can cause problems.
BLOOD
SUGAR LEVELS
Carbohydrates stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin transfers sugar out of
the blood into the cells, where it is used for energy. The chronic eating of too much
refined carbohydrate, such as sugar, over-sensitizes the pancreas and after a time it
begins to overreact to sugar in the diet. The pancreas then produces too much insulin and
blood sugar levels fall too low. People then get the "blahs" and eat more sugar
foods containing to overcome the slump. The pancreas overreacts again with too much
insulin and the "blahs" strike again. This condition is called hypoglycemia. The
cycle continues until eventually the pancreas becomes exhausted and can hardly produce any
insulin at all. This condition then becomes diabetes.
The adrenal glands also stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin.
Caffeine and nicotine stress out and exhaust the adrenals in a similar way. This
aggravates hypoglycemia just like eating too much sugar. SUPPORT TABS nutritionally
support the pancreas, pituitary, liver, adrenals, hypothalamus and the whole body as well.
The hypothalamus has long been known to be involved in most habit forming processes in the
body and needs special nutritional support when trying to break habits.
AMINO
ACIDS
Much research has been done more recently at M.I.T. on "carbohydrate hunger."
They have proven that Seratonin production in the brain is increased when higher levels of
the amino acid, L-Tryptophan, get into the brain. When enough Seratonin is produced,
carbohydrate hunger increases. SUPPORT TABS contain amino acids associated with the
metabolic pathways of L-Tryptophan in the brain. Even though most people notice an energy
boost when they take SUPPORT TABS, certain individuals notice a feeling of relaxation,
rather than increased energy. A reaction of this type should be considered positive.
Hyperactive people usually appreciate this type of nutritional response.
L-Glutamine is considered to be helpful in mental alertness. Vitamins
B-1, B-2 and B-6 are included because they assist in the burning of glucose, which
produces energy. However, the typical large amounts of these specific B-vitamins, usually
contained in other stress formulas, are intentionally not included in SUPPORT TABS as they
would cause the body to burn too much blood sugar too quickly. Those kinds of mega-doses
of B-vitamins give only a temporary burst of energy, but once the sugar is burned, the
same hypoglycemic "blahs" return in full force. Thus, SUPPORT TABS contain a
reasonable amount of B-vitamins to support the process naturally without creating a false
stimulant effect that ultimately does more harm than good.
PHYTOZYME
BASE
SUPPORT TABS are formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a
unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from
plants.
When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the numerous
health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained in them.
HOW TO
TAKE THEM
It is difficult to say exactly how one should take SUPPORT TABS as we all have different
needs at different times. For best results, we recommend that you experiment. Take at
least three tablets per day. The general recommendation is three tablets two times per
day, usually three early to mid-afternoon and three in the late afternoon or evening. Some
people also prefer taking them in the morning. The ideal regimen is to take
CARDIO-CHELEX™ in the morning and SUPPORT TABS in the afternoon. This way you get the
benefit of support for the circulatory and immune systems from Cardio-Chelex and the
advantages of SUPPORT TABS for stress. Together, these two great products also provide a
wonderful vitamin and mineral supplement as well. That is why they are packaged together
in the popular Life Plus Q-Pak™.
