Protecting and caring for your family includes ensuring your loved ones
receive the vitamins and nutrients they need to get through the day. Meals
on the run on the way to cheerleading practice, Friday night's football
game or to the airport to catch a flight to a business meeting, while
convenient, are hardly likely to provide you with the nutrition you need
to stay healthy.
Even if those scenarios don't apply, there are many compelling reasons
to take the highest-quality basic daily supplement you can find. You and
your family need daily insurance against the vitamin and mineral shortfalls
that often occur in your regular diets. In addition, you benefit by fortifying
yourselves with extra nutrients and herbs you can't get from your diet
alone.
In Unicity's ongoing quest to Make Life Better, we have formulated a new
daily supplement to reflect the latest scientific developments. Rx for
Life™ Core Health™ combines the best from two former products, the Enrich
Core Pack™ and Rx for Life™ Total Life Care Nutrition System. Available
in formulations tailored for men and women (and children, too!), Rx for
Life™ Core Health™ provides the best possible daily combination of the
vitamins, minerals, and herbs most essential to general health. These
ingredients not only help maintain normal, healthy body function but can
also improve health over time. No matter what other supplements you take
to address specific needs, you will always want to keep Rx for Life™ Core
Health™ at the center of your nutritional program.*
Convenient daily unit dose packets of Rx for Life™ Core Health™ deliver
more than 35 essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients,
and herbs.
Research Brief
Modern civilization increasingly relies on processed foods, fast foods,
low-calorie diets, artificial additives, and snack foods high in calories
but lacking in nutrients. The body suffers when it does not absorb the
nutrients needed to perform specific biological functions. If these nutrients
are not present in the body in optimum amounts, then tissues, glands,
and organs work less efficiently. Consequences may include fatigue, reduced
immune function, and reduced mental and physical performance.
Government food guidelines suggest daily consumption of a balanced diet
low in fat and rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber. Recommended Daily
Allowances (RDAs) reflect the levels of nutrient intake that will meet
the needs of most healthy people. However, despite good intentions most
individuals fall short of these recommended nutrient levels. Additionally,
current research suggests that higher intake levels of certain nutrients
may have beneficial effects. For example, the current adult RDA for vitamin
E is 30 IU per day. Yet several clinical and epidemiological studies show
that levels up to 100-800 IU per day can significantly benefit cardiovascular
health. Also, intakes of selenium two to three times higher than the RDA
may benefit prostate, colon, thyroid, and lung functions.*
Since it is difficult if not impossible to obtain higher levels of crucial
nutrients from food alone, supplements can be added to a healthy, balanced
diet to provide the nutrient levels needed to maintain optimal health.*
