In Part 1 of this series, we discovered that Nutrilite Vitamin / Mineral / Phytonutrient Double X:
- it is made from plant concentrates.
- includes free radical fighters, with broad and specific power.
- offers a true enzymatic defense.
- provides real energy, all day.
Let’s explore in detail what all of this means to you and your family.
Vegetable concentrates
It appears that many multivitamins offer the standard variety of vitamins and minerals, many at 100% of the recommended daily intake (RDI).
So what makes Double X different?
Double X adds phytonutrients from plant concentrates, far more than other multivitamins. Double X includes 12 vitamins, 10 minerals, and 20 plant concentrates. No other multivitamin comes close.
Free radical fighters – with ample power.
You’ve heard of them on the news: Free radicals are rogue oxygen molecules that attack healthy cells, steal an electron, and start a chain reaction of instability and damage.
Free radicals are everywhere, generated by air pollution, sunlight, X-rays, pesticides, car exhaust, cigarette smoke, even breathing and exercise.
Science now knows that by increasing our intake of free radical fighters, called antioxidants, we can defend ourselves, even our cells, against this constant attack.
Health Canada has adopted a way of measuring the raw power of antioxidants to help fight the good fight. This measurement is called the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Measures how well antioxidants absorb free radicals. It is recommended that we all consume between 3,000 and 5,000 ORAC units per day, preferably from fresh, whole fruits and vegetables. But the average person only receives between 1,200 and 1,640 ORAC units a day.
Double X multivitamin / mineral / phytonutrient provides an average of more than 3,000 ORAC units in each daily serving.
Free radical fighters – with specific power.
In extensive testing of more than 100 different plant concentrates, Nutrilite scientists identified 20 plant concentrates that would be included in the Double X formula.
These included plant concentrates that targeted and protected against five specific categories of free radicals.
- Hydroxyl – Pesticides, contamination (outperformed the competition)
- Peroxyl – Aging, X-rays (Outperformed)
- Peroxynitrite: smoke, exhaust (outperformed competition)
- Superoxide: cellular metabolism (outperforming the competition)
- Singlet oxygen – Exercise, UV rays (even competition)
Hydroxyl, peroxyl, peroxynitrite, superoxide, and singlet oxygen are 5 categories of harmful free radicals implicated in many health disorders.
Free radicals are generated by compounds found everywhere, from breath to sunlight, from X-rays to car exhaust, from air pollution to pesticides and cigarette smoke. We are always under attack, but with Double X, we can help our bodies fight free radicals.
Enzyme defense.
Plants have natural mechanisms to help protect against harmful pests or unfavorable growing conditions. Similarly, there are some naturally occurring compounds in the food we eat every day that can be mildly harmful to humans. The human digestive system, therefore, develops enzymes to protect itself from these harmful compounds. These enzymes help our bodies differentiate between good and bad compounds.
Double X contains cruciferous plant nutrients, such as broccoli and kale, that help make Phase 2 enzymes. In fact, laboratory tests show that Double X supports the body’s natural production of Phase 2 enzymes. These enzymes break down harmful compounds that enter our body making them soluble in water. Once these compounds are soluble in water, they leave the body more quickly.
Real energy, all day.
Double X helps you unlock energy stores and metabolize carbohydrates with B vitamins and concentrates from apples, alfalfa, basil, and acerola cherries. If you want sustained energy that lasts all day, not just a quick shake, go for Double X.
Could you eat all of this?
Even if you already eat a diet rich in fresh, whole, natural foods, you may not get everything you need. Why not? Because to get the vitamins and minerals your body needs, at the recommended levels, you would have to eat a mountain of food every day. In fact, here is just a few of what you would need to eat, on a daily basis, to get some of the nutrients found in Double X:
- Vitamin E from 33 T. peanut butter
- Vitamin C from 7 cups of cantaloupe
- Folic acid from 6 cups of baked beans
- 3.3 pound thiamine. pig away
- Riboflavin from 7.75 quarts of skim milk
- Niacin from 1.5 chicken breasts
- Vitamin B6 from 22 bananas
- Magnesium from 4.2 cups of peas
- 4.2 pound vitamin B12. ground beef
Well now you know what I know. Enjoy your Nutrilite Double X Vitamin / Mineral / Phytonutrient.
See you at the Beaches of the World,
