Vitality Multivitamin & Mineral Servies

What Makes It Different?
Vitality Multivitamin & Mineral delivers 22 essential nutrients from the optimum sources and in the right combinations with the Oligo™ mineral form for maximum absorbability and antioxidant protection.*

The Oligo Difference

1. Essential for a vibrant life, better health, and more energy
   Vitamins and minerals help prevent disease and provide crucial support to most body functions, including growth and energy production. Vitality Multivitamin and Mineral provides the ideal levels of nutrients based on your unique age and gender requirements.
2. Delivers nutrients Just Like Nature™
   Oligo binds minerals to organic compounds to mirror the way they are naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods.
3. Proven by science to be up to 10 times more available for absorption than the competition†
   Traditional mineral forms can crystallize in the intestines, making them difficult to absorb. Oligo helps keep minerals soluble in the intestine—where nutrient absorption takes place.
4. Protects antioxidant vitamins from free radical damage up to 5 times better than the leading brands†
   Traditional mineral forms can cause an increase of free radicals, robbing the antioxidants in your multivitamin (vitamins A, C, and E) of some of their potency before they can be absorbed. Oligo guards the minerals, reducing their ability to generate excess free radicals.
5. We challenge our competitors to produce any evidence contrary to these scientific findings
   Oligo was developed by Melaleuca scientists and verified by leading researchers in the field. We challenge all vitamin and mineral supplement manufacturers to perform their own test and see how their supplements stand up against Oligo.

Why Is That Important?
All the nutrients in the world won’t do you any good if your body can’t use them. Vitality Multivitamin & Mineral has been formulated using the most bioavailable nutrient sources—often multiple sources—all in research-recommended amounts to help you get the nutrients you need every day. It also offers one thing no other multivitamin in the world can offer—Oligo. This amazing breakthrough promotes maximum mineral solubility while protecting the potency of your antioxidants. In fact, no other mineral form is more available for absorption than Melaleuca’s Oligo.†
The result is more energy and better health—a difference you can actually feel.

It Works Because…
The minerals in supplements crystallize during digestion, which inhibits absorption. In addition, minerals also tend to trigger free radicals during digestion. This cascade of free radicals can “use up” the antioxidants in your multivitamin (vitamins A, C, and E), rendering them nearly useless.
Oligo binds minerals to organic compounds (oligofructose and amino acid) to mirror the way minerals are naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods. This binding process not only keeps the minerals more available for the body to absorb, it also guards the minerals—disarming their ability to generate massive amounts of free radicals. As a result, more of the critical nutrients you need for better health are available for use every day.

The Advantages of Taking a Multivitamin As You Get Older

Author: Sarah Labdar

Do you take a multivitamin? Why should you take a multivitamin? Are all multivitamins the same? These are all questions that you should ask before beginning taking a multivitamin. Multivitamins are becoming a more widely taken vitamin and mineral supplement that people use to supplement their diet. It was not until recently that more doctors have been recommending to take a multivitamin in your diet. Although, multivitamins should not replace whole foods but be part of a healthy diet. Multivitamins can bridge the gap between the foods that we eat and the nutrients that our bodies are lacking.
Multivitamins are available in all different shapes, sizes, colors, tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and injections. You can buy multivitamins at the grocery store, your local health food store, your doctor's office or even online. Multivitamins became available in the 1930's made by the dried and compressed concentrates of fruits and vegetables. It wasn't until 1940 that synthetic vitamins and minerals were produced. Synthetic multivitamins are created in a laboratory. Multivitamins made from whole food concentrates are much more complete than synthetic vitamins because they contain additional nutrients from the fruits and vegetables such as phytochemicals and antioxidants. The US defines a multivitamin as any supplement containing 3 or more vitamins or minerals that doesn't include herbs, hormones or drugs. Also the vitamins and minerals present in the supplement must be present at a lower dose than recommended daily values and present no risk of adverse health effects. Basic commercial multivitamins contain ingredients such as Vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, Folic Acid (B9), B12, Vitamin H (biotin), Vitamin A, E, D3, and K. They normally contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and manganese.
One of the main reasons for prescription of multivitamins is the deficiency of some or all vitamins and minerals in the body. Vitamins and minerals are essential for health and well-being. A lack or deficiency of any or all vitamins and minerals can lead to weakness, disease and death. To keep the body functioning at optimal capacity, the body requires vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. The best way to consume vitamins and minerals is through food sources. However, the lack of food diversity, and the minimal servings of fruits and vegetables in our diet have lead to nutritional deficiencies. In some cases it's due to a restrictive diets, limited access to a variety of foods or the adverse reluctance to eat certain foods (such as in childhood). Additionally, the increasing popular fast food, added stress, limited physical activity, and inadequate amount of time in the sun can cause depleted vitamin and mineral resources in the body.
Multivitamins can prevent nutritional deficiency by supplementing the vitamins and minerals that aren't being received through food. Vitamins also combat stress, by increasing ones energy as the body works more efficiently. Multivitamins also reduces the risk for cardiovascular disease, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Vitamins and minerals assist in proper digestion, which helps to manage weight. When the body works more efficiently not only do you have more energy, it boosts your brain function, and improves your immune system so you can fight off disease. Some common deficiencies in the body include vitamin B12, calcium, chromium, folic acid, magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and zinc. Therefore the best way to combat these deficiencies before they occur is to take a multivitamin.
Illness and disease in the body is another reason for vitamin and mineral deficiency. Some illnesses drain the body of vitamins, which reduces your body's ability to fight off the disease. HIV eliminates all vitamins within in the body therefore making it almost impossible for the body to remain healthy. Therefore people who are infected with HIV have a hard time fighting off other infections and diseases. Smoking also depletes the body of all vitamins and minerals. Just another reason why no one should smoke. Diabetes reduces the antioxidants within the body, which in turn allows free radicals to complete oxidative reactions to cause disease, and aging. Ulcerative colitis, pancreatitis, and Crohn's disease all decrease the levels of vitamin D, E and K. HPV and excessive alcohol drinking deplete the vitamin A levels in the body.
Now a days there are multivitamins to differentiate consumer sectors such as prenatals, mens, womens, over 40, over 50, child, etc. These specific groups of individuals have different dietary and nutritional needs, which require additional support from a vitamin supplement. Children, teens, athletes, and pregnant women have a higher nutritional need due to basic body growth. Vitamins and minerals are essential in the bodies ability to grow. They are essential for every cellular reaction in the body. When all the nutrients are not present in the body, the body cannot function properly, which can cause fatigue, weakness, lack of energy, disease, and ultimately in extreme situations death. Most multivitamin supplementation can reduce the risk for vitamin and mineral deficiency and keep the body functioning optimally. However, in extreme circumstances where vitamin and mineral levels are sufficiently depleted and the deficiency has gone on long enough, medical treatment is necessary.
Multivitamins are a safe and valuable tool for a healthy diet, as long as they are taken as prescribed or directed. An excess or deficiency of vitamins and minerals can be harmful to the body. By taking large quantities of any vitamins or minerals you pose a risk for an acute overdose in the body. Especially in the case of fat-soluble vitamins the body is unable to rid the system of excess vitamins causing toxicity. Iron, vitamin A, and vitamin E are three vitamins and minerals that are easy to overdose on because the body needs such a limited amount. Symptoms of a vitamin or mineral overdose include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, hair loss, headache, joint or muscle pain, back pain, blood in your urine, pale skin and easy bruising or bleeding. Large quantities of minerals can have additional effects such as tooth staining, increased urination, stomach bleeding, heart palpitations, confusion, and muscle weakness. Consult your doctor right away if you suspect an overdose of multivitamins.
Most multivitamins have a consumption range of 1-2 times a day, however others recommend 3-7 times a day. A healthy adult, with no medical problems who eats a variety of fresh food really only needs to take one dosage of vitamins a day to maintain functionality and avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies. For people who suffer from medical conditions and are taking additional prescription medication should consult your doctor before starting on a multivitamin. Some multivitamins can be affected by prescriptions medications such as a diuretic, heart or blood pressure medication, tretinoin, Accutane, Bactrim, or NSAIDs. Always take as prescribed or directed to get the most out of your multivitamin.

Melaleuca Collagen

Understanding How Collagen Functions And How It Benefits You

Author: Karin Manning

Who would want wrinkles on their faces, dry and sagging skin, and joint aches? I don't, do you? If only you could run after time, it's as plain as the nose on my face that you would race against it just to have that feeling of youthfulness and strength you once had. But, it's never too late. These signs of aging can be prevented by slowing down their development. It's so easy! Take that ridiculous thought of racing against time off of your mind. Just the thought of it makes me feel more aged! All you need to do is understand why these things occur. Its collagen or the lack of it that is responsible for the deterioration of your skin.



Collagen functions as scaffolding for our body. It is the fibrous protein constituent of skin, cartilage, bones and other connective tissue. An appropriate and enough collagen supply in our body are extremely required, however it is no easy to maintain and achieve. Unfortunately, it is established that our body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per annum, starting at the age of 25. Collagen functions as a chondroprotective agent, which means that it protects cartilage and synovial fluid against degeneration.


The depletion of collagen in our skin leads to the formation of wrinkles and the occurrence of other signs of aging. If this happens, collagen function simply defeats its purpose. Another collagen function is that it can reduce oxidative damage to joints, hence, stimulate major decrease in joint pain, and swelling.

After we have understood the importance of collagen functions, we now realize how important enough supply of collagen in our body is. This is when collagen supplements step in. There are a wide variety of collagen supplements which are available at present. These collagen supplements replenish the diminishing supply of collagen in our body to perform its function. Regular intake of collagen supplement makes your skin nourished, and reduces joint pain. These supplements are made from natural ingredients such the ones found in different food, therefore, it is safe.



For the collagen functions to be maximized, maintain the collagen supply in your body by taking collagen supplement. The benefits these supplements give you include revitalizing your skin and keeping it healthy, reducing the occurrence of fine lines and wrinkles, strengthen your nails and improve the condition of your hair. If supplement is taken before exercise or any physical activities, collagen functions at its best, increasing both energy and performance. They can also maintain and replenish lean muscle mass to improve the administration of your body's fat, therefore, take part in managing weight.



It is very important to know and understand the collagen functions in order for us to prevent the early signs of aging by slowing them down through regular intake of collagen supplement. If you want to live your life to the fullest, feeling and looking young, take care of your health and replenish your body's reducing supply of collagen.

Law of Attraction - This is the Truth!

I am a firm believer of the law of attraction. I first touched on this subject when I read the book, The Secret. I was so affected by the book that this book that I had wanted to make this book my life bible.

Howvever, though the concept is really very simple, this really not easy to do as being humans, we always tend to fall into the "easy" way of thinking. We don't really practise "postive thinking" and easily lapsed into negative thinking. This is more so for me as I suffer from depression.

As such, I have decided that I want to seriously practise what I believe to the solution to my depression. I am going back to the teachings of The Secret.

I saw this interview of Youtube and found that Will Smith is a also a believe in the law of attraction.
Here's sharing the video with all of you.

Melaleuca - What's that?

I have recieved many email and sms asking me more information about Melaleuca, the company that I mentioned in my blog and facebook. Please allow me to show you all about Melaleuca, the company that clearly manufacture far greater products that is safe for my home, my family and the Earth!  In a nutshell, I will just mention 3 points why I love Melaleuca

1) Its very reasonable priced. In fact, I did not believe it initiall but after doing my market research comparing various OTC bands of similar quality (NOTE: I am comparing similar quality), I found that Melaleuca products are indeed priced similarly or even cheaper!

2) Its safe for my family and the Earth!

3) It works!

So, have a look at the video and see for your self.

Watch this if you think of giving up

To all who is thinking of giving up, please do watch this. I chanced upon this video in youtube and I give thanks to all whom I thought have been making life difficult for me. You all have given me a chance to let me remember how blessed I am already.

Thank you.

Miracles Do Happen - Are you ready to believe?

I have always been a great fan of the The Secret. I know that a lot of people believe that the law of attraction is a load of BS and the same people are so negative that they refuse to believe this. The result? They continue to be unhappy because to them, this is "normal". In fact, if "good" things do happen to them, then it not normal. So, in order to be "normal", they expect things to be bad. They expect life to be anything but great. In fact, life's great!

We all have oour share of problems. Be it work, money, relationship or family. However have we  really stopped to think that there is always a way out. That all this is but our own mindset. Believe that you are the best that life can be! Believe that always things happen for a reason. A good reason.

Recently, I have been having a lot of problems with my work and money issue. I began to question why I am always such a failure. I never get things done correctly. However, later when I reflect back, I found that instead of blaming everyone, I should be taking full responabilty for myself. There is always a reason why things happen. However, before we blame everyone else but ourself, before we blame the society and the envirnoment, take a monent to be grateful for all the little things that we are so blessed with. Remember you cannot have 2 distinct emotions at the same time. You can't be grateful and yet be angry at the same time.

So miracles do happen. Question is - Are you ready to Believe?

GSE: Grape Seed Extract - Amazing Power Antioxidant

I was doing some research on this power-packed antioxidant when I saw this article and I hope to share with you all on this.

The URL is http://www.preventive-health-guide.com/grape-seed-extract.html

Grape seed extract and the prevention of chronic degenerative disease.

Suprising but grape seed extract may be better for you than the grapes from which it comes.
For countless centuries, people from many different cultures have enjoyed a fine glass of wine, but only recently have scientists discovered that it might be good for us, too.
Yes, moderate wine drinking actually has a number of excellent potential health benefits, although of course the alcohol is not the part that does all the good!
In fact, one of the surprising advantages of millions of consumers enjoying the fruits of the wine industry is that its by-products can be made into some really useful health supplements.
Take grape seeds, for example. Grape seed extract is known as waste product of the winery and grape juice industry, because they don’t go into the finished drinks.
What is in grape seed extract?
What you may not know is that grape seed extract contains a vast array of health-giving ingredients, such as protein, lipids, carbohydrates and polyphenols (which come mainly in the form of flavonoids, also known as bioflavonoids).
The term flavonoid is used for a class of plant chemicals known for their activity as highly potent antioxidants, and therefore for their capability in protecting the body against oxidative and free radical damage. It’s not really surprising when you consider the scientific studies: they show that the antioxidant power of polyphenols is 20 times more powerful than vitamin E, and 50 times greater than vitamin C.

Because of its polyphenol content, purple grape juice provides a far greater antioxidant effect than orange juice.
What else can grape seed extract do?

Some people call these polyphenols “nature’s biological response modifiers” because of their ability to help the body fight viruses, allergens, and carcinogens.
That means that among their many talents, they exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-cancerous and anti-microbial activity.
Not bad for a “waste product”!
Procyanadin: The secret anti aging vitamin?
One particular type of phenol found in grape seed is called procyanidin. It was initially discovered in 1936 by Professor Jacques Masquelier, who called it Vitamin P, (although the name didn’t really catch on, and has since fallen out of usage).
As well as the disease prevention mentioned above, procyanidins are thought to protect the body from premature ageing.
Scientists think they do this by increasing vitamin C levels in the cells and scavenging for toxins so the organs can get rid of them.
A good "side effect": Younger looking skin
Procyanidins also bond with collagen, the most abundant protein in the body and a key component of skin, gums, bones, teeth, hair and body tissues.
The bonding promotes cell health and skin elasticity, making it seem more youthful, in a process that works almost like a natural face-lift. Procyanidins additionally help protect the body from sun damage, which can also cause premature ageing of the skin.
More importantly it helps inside the body
Vanity is one thing, but underlying health is quite another.
Far more important to your body than looking good, is the fact that procyanidins can improve your vision, the flexibility of your joints, the health of your arteries and body tissues (such as the heart) and also strengthen capilliaries and veins to improve your circulatory system.
This is important because the health of your circulatory system affects the health of your heart.
It seems that grape seed extract delays the oxidation of low density lipoproteins, the fats that are responsible for “bad cholesterol”.
The longer it takes for LDL to oxidize, the less likely it is to start clogging up your veins and arteries. People who drink purple grape juice can show an increase in oxidation lag time of 27%.
So, procyanidins present in grape seeds are known to exert anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic and anti-allergic activities, to prevent skin aging, to scavenge oxygen free radicals and to inhibit the damaging effects of UV radiation from sunlight.
Since most of these processes are linked to cancer, it follows that grape seeds are probably strong anti-carcinogenic and/or anti-tumor-promoting agents.
Studies show they may have particular use against colorectal cancer, and scientists are devoting a fair amount of new research to grape seed because they’re pretty confident about its abilities.
The other "secret ingredient" of grape seed extract.
One other of the grape’s hidden health weapons is also worth a mention: it’s called resveratrol. This chemical is found primarily in the skin and seeds, particularly in muscadine grapes, and it confers a number of beneficial effects to the body.
They include all those mentioned above, but also an ability to help the brain and its processes work efficiently i.e. they have neuroprotective capabilities. In rats, this has life-prolonging effects, so it’s reasonable to assume it may do the same for other animals, humans included.
Whats the best way to get grape seed extract into your body?
Luckily, you don’t have to drink litres of wine or grape juice, or eat sacks of grape seeds to get these helpful chemicals into your body.
Thanks to modern technology, we now have high-quality grape seed extract in the form of supplements.
That means you can enjoy all the health-giving properties of grape seed simply by taking a pill.
Meanwhile, it’s a bonus to know that all these amazing added benefits are coming from the “waste products” of wine, so that an enjoyable pastime for some folks results in a health boost for millions of others.
Next time you toast your good health, you might like to spare a thought for the humble grape seed and all the wonders it can offer your body. Cheers!
