Heritage Complete, is a high quality supplement
with a difference. It is a state-of-the-art synergistically balanced product
providing vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and herbs in a base
containing Coenzyme Q10. Our minerals are chelated (bonded with protein) to
make them more easily absorbed. Heritage Complete is one of the very few
supplements that contain Octacosanol, a nutrient derived from wheat germ. It
should always be included in the active person's wellness and weight loss
program. Heritage Complete may be a significant factor in providing total
wellness while you shed unwanted pounds. Sculpt your body with exercise, or
simply lead an active lifestyle.
Human nutritional awareness has
been evident as far back as 7000 year old Egyptian pictographs. In
approximately 1500 B.C., there were Egyptian medical writings offering
dietary cures for various afflictions and diseases. Yet it was less than a
century ago that the first vitamin was isolated. The science of human
nutrition is still relatively new, but the recent explosion of information
is showing how important supplements can be. Twenty years ago it was thought
humans needed some 40 to 50 different nutrients on a daily basis. Today,
some doctors suggest humans need 90 nutrients daily! We know that vitamins
are essential to life. Vitamins regulate the metabolism and assist the
biochemical processes that release energy from digested food. Vitamins work
with enzymes as coenzymes, enabling the body to perform its activities.
Vitamins must be ingested - they cannot be synthesized in the body.
Like vitamins, minerals also
function as coenzymes. Minerals participate in nerve transmission, muscle
contraction, cell permeability, tissue rigidity and structure, blood
formation, acid-base balance, fluid regulation, protein metabolism and
energy production. Minerals are classified as major or trace, depending upon
their makeup in the body - not by importance. A deficiency of either a major
or a trace mineral can be equally harmful.
Our bodies are very complex
chemical factories, performing many millions of functions each day. This
complex organism needs proper components - nutrients - each day to perform
its function properly. With our 20th Century lifestyles, the only practical
way to ensure that we receive proper nutrition is to take supplements.
Suggested Adult Use:
Heritage Complete should be taken with meals, two caplets per meal, six
caplets daily. Remember: It is important to drink eight glasses of water.
