GNC Longevity Factors Supplements

So I got this email today for GNC Longevity Factors Supplements, as you may imagine I get a lot of promotional emails for products and supplements, but this was interesting as it is part of that breed of supplements created for one particular reason. And these are the generics at GNC. Read on and see what you think of these supplements.

GNC Longevity Factors Supplements

GNC is empowering consumers to age well with a unique new line that enables them to proactively influence their health. The leading global specialty retailer of nutritional products is launching GNC Longevity Factors, GNC’s first and only complete line of nutritional supplements designed to help you age well.  The line features clinically tested ingredients to support health and bioavailability enhancement technology to improve the absorption of a key antioxidant important for healthy cell aging. The products are targeted to consumers concerned about maintaining their youthful health as they age.  The new line is currently available in GNC stores nationwide and on GNC.com.

“We created the GNC Longevity Factors line specifically to empower adults –  including baby boomers — to proactively take control of their health as they age and, ultimately, help them feel as young as they envision themselves,” said Beth Kaplan, President and Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer, GNC.  “This is a unique line of seven nutritional supplements that support very specific aspects of aging.  These breakthrough formulas are based on the most recent advances in the science of healthy aging.”

The GNC Longevity Factors line is a direct response to the scientific premise that every individual has the power to influence one’s own health destiny.  The line features advanced high potency formulas with powerful polyphenols, such as resveratrol, that work to protect cells from damage, along with clinically researched ingredients to support heart health, eye health, brain health, memory, strength and agility.  In developing GNC Longevity Factors, GNC collaborated with Dr. Joseph Maroon, a world renowned neurosurgeon, nutrition expert, and author.

In October of this year Dr. Maroon once again gained national attention when, at age 70 he finished his third Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, beating his prior time by over 20 minutes.  He attributes his intense workout regimen coupled with extensive nutritional supplementation as providing not only physical endurance, but the youthful mental endurance and improved focus needed in his profession as a neurosurgeon.

“The GNC Longevity Factors line enables individuals to take the proactive steps necessary to affect positive change in their bodies,” said Dr. Joseph Maroon.  “Specifically, many of the products can positively activate genes, located in every cell of our body, to support overall health. The line is a wonderful tool in helping us age well and live healthier lives.”

The GNC Longevity Factors line includes:

  • Healthy Aging Program: a complete daily pak with six key elements that support healthy aging, including a premium multivitamin, triple strength fish oil, memory formula and 500 mg resveratrol for cell-aging defense.
  • Heart Health: maintains healthy cholesterol, blood pressure and circulation and supports overall heart health.  The product includes phytosterols, which have been shown to help block cholesterol absorption.
  • Cellular Antioxidant Defense: fights premature cell aging with a high-potency blend of antioxidants, including 500 mg of resveratrol, polyphenols, and vitamin D-3 to protect cells and DNA against free radicals and defy cell aging.
  • Energy Enhancer:  this caffeine-free, clinically studied energy formula invigorates your body with antioxidants and an amino acid complex that supports your body’s natural energy levels. The product features polyphenols, which can help combat the free radicals associated with cell-aging.
  • Eye Health: features a blend of powerful carotenoids, including lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene, to support healthy vision.
  • Strength Agility: a unique formula with more protein and fiber to maintain muscle tone to keep you strong and active.
  • Memory Formula: keeps your memory healthy with turmeric acid and high potency huperzine.

So what do you think? Are these products for real? I think that it is interesting to try. There are people on both sides of the fence on this kind of thing. Staunch anti-supplement people saying that your food is good enough, and those on the other side saying that supplements can create super people. Me? I take vitamins and when I did take Ginko Biloba to improve my memory a few years ago I kept forgetting to take the pills. I am sure I will try these different GNC Longevity Factors supplements out just to see if I notice anything over a month but that depends on the price.

Natural Thyroid Storm Treatments

Natural Thyroid Storm Treatments

Natural thyroid storm treatments

Thyroid Storm is a severe condition which affects only a small percentage of people with hyperthyroidism but there are Natural thyroid storm treatments. In fact, only about 1 to 2% of people with hyperthyroidism develop thyroid storm. However, for those people who do develop this condition, this is considered an emergency situation that requires immediate intervention.

One can understand the reasoning behind this by looking at the symptoms of thyroid storm. People with this condition are likely to experience an increased heart rate which exceeds 200 beats per minute, along with palpitations, increased blood pressure, chest pain, and/or shortness of breath. So while I’m an advocate of treating conditions through holistic methods, the first thing someone needs to do with this condition is to go to the emergency room and receive medical intervention to manage the symptoms. Once the symptoms are under control, one can then begin a natural thyroid treatment protocol to help restore the person’s health back to normal, which I’ll discuss shortly.

How Are The Symptoms Of Thyroid Storm Managed?

Because the symptoms of thyroid storm are severe, frequently a combination of different drugs are used. This can include anti-thyroid drugs, beta blockers, and/or a blockade iodine drug. If an infection is contributing to thyroid storm, then this will need to be addressed as well.

Once again, it is not advised to use nutritional supplements or herbal remedies to treat this condition. While there are some effective supplements and herbs to help with hyperthyroidism, they will take some time to “kick in”. When someone has thyroid storm, they need to have the symptoms under control quickly, as if someone has a pulse rate of 200 beats a minute, this is a life-threatening situation and needs to be addressed right away. And most herbs won’t act quick enough to manage the symptoms.

Natural Thyroid Storm Treatment Methods

Once you have successfully managed the symptoms of thyroid storm, you can then begin a Natural thyroid storm treatments protocol to help restore your health back to normal. When I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease, which is an autoimmune hyperthyroid condition, I followed a natural thyroid treatment protocol which eventually did eliminate my symptoms, normalized my thyroid blood tests and other tests I had obtained. So for those who have been told that there is no cure for hyperthyroidism or Graves’ Disease, and have been advised to either take anti-thyroid drugs or receive radioactive iodine treatment, you might want to consult with a natural endocrine doctor. The problem is that most endocrinologists and other types of medical doctors don’t know how to do anything other than prescribe drugs, perform surgery, etc.

Don’t get me wrong, as not everyone with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ Disease can be cured, and sometimes drugs and other medical procedures are necessary. I without question was skeptical when I was first diagnosed with Graves’ Disease. Even though I’m a holistic practitioner, I still was concerned as to whether Natural thyroid storm treatments would work. All I know is that at the time I wanted to do everything I could to avoid receiving radioactive iodine therapy, and fortunately everything worked out well. However, I’d be lying if I told you if it was an easy process, as it did take some time to restore my health back to normal, and so anyone looking for a quick and easy cure will be very disappointed.

Natural Thyroid Storm Treatments for Cause Of Your Condition

Natural thyroid storm treatments methods are effective because they try to get to the actual cause of the disorder, rather than just manage the symptoms. On the other hand, conventional medical treatment methods for hyperthyroidism aim at controlling the symptoms. For example, when I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism by my primary care physician, I was prescribed a beta blocker to help with the increased heart rate and palpitations I was experiencing. Then I went to see an endocrinologist, where I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease and then was told by her to take anti-thyroid drugs and a beta blocker. I personally didn’t take any anti-thyroid medication or beta blockers, but I’m sure if I followed her full recommendations I eventually would have been on the path to receiving radioactive iodine therapy.

What’s important to understand is that in most cases of thyroid storm, hyperthyroidism, and Graves’ Disease, the thyroid gland itself isn’t the actual cause of the problem. Another area of the body is almost always responsible for the hyperthyroid condition. For example, in Graves’ Disease, the immune system is obviously compromised, yet no attempt is made to eliminate the autoimmune response. But even in cases when someone isn’t afflicted with an autoimmune thyroid condition, the thyroid gland itself is rarely the cause of the problem.

Seeking The Advice For Natural Treatments for Thyroid Storm

If you are interested in using Natural thyroid storm treatments methods to help restore your health back to normal, the first thing I recommend is to speak with a competent holistic doctor who focuses on endocrine disorders. This way you can find out if you’re a good candidate for care, and if so, the doctor will then recommend a natural thyroid treatment protocol. Before doing this they most likely will recommend one or more additional tests in addition to the thyroid blood tests you probably have already received. For example, if they suspect a problem with your adrenal glands, they probably will recommend an Adrenal Stress Index test. If they think you might have a hormone imbalance, then they might recommend a male or female hormone panel. Or they might test you for certain nutritional deficiencies.

Once they have determined the actual cause of your thyroid condition, they once again will recommend a Natural thyroid storm treatments protocol which potentially can restore your health back to normal. As I mentioned earlier, such a protocol isn’t easy to follow, as it most likely will involve some extreme changes in your lifestyle, including eating well, getting sufficient sleep, doing a better job of managing stress, etc. You most likely will also be advised to take certain nutritional supplements and/or herbs. And while it does take a good amount of time to restore someone’s health back to normal, the good news is that in most cases it doesn’t take long to see some positive changes. When I began my natural thyroid treatment protocol I began seeing some really positive changes in my symptoms after only a few weeks of care, although it took a number of months before my lab results normalized.

Don’t use Natural thyroid storm treatments in an emergency!

In summary, if you have thyroid storm, you need to go to the emergency room and get this treated immediately. Using Natural thyroid storm treatments methods in this case is not a good idea. On the other hand, once you have the hyperthyroid symptoms under control, following a natural thyroid treatment protocol can potentially restore your health back to normal. At this point it’s a good idea to seek the advice of a competent natural endocrine doctor to find out if you’re a good candidate so you can begin the road to recovery.

Dr. Eric Osansky is a licensed doctor who used natural thyroid storm treatments methods to cure his condition when he was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease.
