The Purpose of 
Nutriceuticals

“Where did I put my ...” 

Memory loss starts with questions like that. 

Does any of this sound familiar?  Then, maybe you need a Nutriceutical.  

A what? You might ask.

Before we get into nutriceuticals, we need to remember what a vitamin consists of.

A vitamin by definition is any organic substance that is essential in minute quantities to the nutrition of most animals and some plants. There are many individual vitamins that your body needs in varying amounts each and every day.

Vitamins act especially as coenzymes and precursors of coenzymes in the regulation of metabolic processes 

but do not provide energy -- 

nor do they serve as body building units.

Vitamins are found in natural foods like apples, pears, oranges, asparagus, or  -- sometimes vitamins are produced within the body itself.

Vitamin C, is one example vitamin almost everyone is familiar with.  It is a well-known vitamin that is needed by the body for various reasons. It is a valuable anti-oxidant and Captain Cook discovered that it fights scurvy. 

Okay, let's go to MULTI-VITAMINS, the next step.

When you pack several vitamins together, you create a vitamin formula which is known as a multi-vitamin.  That's pretty simple.  Many vitamins -- put together in one easy-to-take pill or capsule -- are multi-vitamins. 

But, why put a bunch of vitamins together in the first place?  Well, to help your body achieve better health, nutritionists recommend certain amounts of various vitamins and they recommend daily doses. When you put all those vitamins together in their recommended daily dose amounts, you get a multi-vitamin made from a nutritionist's vitamin formula. These are convenient, easy to take, and they are great for everyday use.

Now that we understand what a Multi-Vitamin is we are ready for nutriceuticals.

A nutriceutical is also a compound, and it is only slightly different from Multi-Vitamins.  That difference is manifest in the PURPOSE behind the formula.  

As an example, certain vitamins available to us are known to improve memory. Putting all those memory vitamins together into one formula with the express purpose of helping to improve memory creates a nutriceutical

Instead of chasing down all the individual memory vitamins you know about and taking some of each vitamin every day, you can take a nutriceutical like Biotrex Memory+ with all the MEMORY vitamins packed into one pill, saving yourself time,  money, and finding more convenience in the bargain. 

Other nutriceuticals might have the purpose of assisting sports recovery, providing anti-aging assistance to men, or women -- or joint repair enhancement especially for seniors.  The PURPOSE of the formula is what makes the compilation a nutriceutical.

As you walk down the Get-Well aisle where you buy your health-boosting products, you will notice there are literally hundreds of different varieties to choose from.  Upon reading the labels you will also notice a difference in price, and a difference in the quantities of various vitamins required of each formula.  There are other differences which are important, but beyond the scope of this article, such as WHERE the vitamins are gathered from.

What cannot be left out is TRUST.  

Bottle A sells 100 tiny pills for only $3.95 and patently calls itself a DAILY Multi-Vitamin.  Bottle B lists 8 more vitamins in its CONTENTS, and sells 100 larger pills for $17.95 .  Bottle C lists 15 more vitamins in its CONTENTS and tells you WHY these extra vitamins are essential to your health and well-being, and sells 100 huge pills of $39.95

If you want to feel safe, then you must then decide which of all these brands and bottles you want to insure your health with.  Is the nutritionist behind Bottle A right in insisting that these are ALL the vitamins you need?  Or, will you really feel like Superman when you feed your body with pills from Bottle C?

TRUST

Trust can only be generated by information.  

At the BiotrexVitamins website ( http://www.BiotrexVitamins.com ) nutritionists invite you to learn more about each vitamin in their formulas. In its completely open web site you will discover a vitamin glossary that will take you through each and every one of the individual vitamins used in the various formulas and describe exactly how they help your body. 

As you click through to each product page, there will be other links that show you each ingredient in that nutriceutical and how those vitamins work together to achieve the full measure of their purpose.

Biotrex makes 6 Nutriceutical formulas which are designed to help you with: Anti-Aging, Sports Recovery, Joint Repair, Memory, Back Repair, and Attention Enhancement.  At this time the company offers a bargain where you can Buy 2 Get 1 Free.

Vita-Herb Nutriceuticals, Inc. (found on the web at http://www.vhni.com/ ) provides vegetarian NON-GEL capsules for liquid supplements to companies who need encapsulating services.   Its NON--GEL capsules are produced without agricultural chemicals and without caustic solvents. Hey!  Is that important? You are right back to that word TRUST. 

Chiropharma.com compiles its information from traditional and modern herb books, articles, and research.  ( http://www.chiropharma.com/c47738.2.html

Other web sites in this field do little more than let you choose between price and quantities, leaving it up to you to weigh the pros and cons of each formula.

If you find yourself wondering more and more often “Where did I put my ...” it might well be time to give the right Nutriceutical formula a chance to help.
