Anutra's power for improving health
As a super grain loaded with Omega-3's and many other vital nutrients, Anutra offers a variety of
opportunities to improve overall health and well being.
Here's how Anutra may benefit you:
Heart Health
Omega-3's are clinically proven to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, stabilize heart arrhythmia,
lower blood pressure (reduces hypertension), act as a natural blood thinner (reducing the "stickiness" of
blood cells) and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol. Approximately 60% of the fat found in Anutra™ is from
Omega-3's with ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) making it a very rich, natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Anutra also helps regenerate healthy heart cells.
Colorectal Cancer
Studies conducted at John Hopkins show those with high levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) are 2.5 times
more likely to develop colon cancer. Clinical studies also prove Anutra's extraordinary profile reduces
C-Reactive Protein levels that in turn may help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
Breast Cancer
Preliminary research at the University of California, Los Angeles suggests that Omega-3's may help
maintain healthy breast tissue and prevent breast cancer. Anutra™ may also promote healthier skin and hair.
Prostate Cancer
Numerous studies show that diets high in Omega-3's and fiber may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
A Duke University Medical Center pilot study concluded that even short-term changes to a high-fiber/Omega-3
supplemented diet resulted in prostate cancer cells that did not divide as quickly as those in men not on
the diet. Anutra, with its high Omega-3 and fiber content, is an easy and simple way to include these
necessary nutritional benefits into your daily diet.
Osteoporosis
Per serving, Anutra contains four times more calcium than milk. The body needs calcium to prevent bone
loss. Anutra is a rich source of other essential minerals like phosphorous, magnesium and iron, all of
which aid in the absorption and utilization of calcium by the body. The concentration of protein in milk
and dairy products in general decreases calcium absorption.
Pre-natal health
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that Omega-3's are very important to nourish the
developing brain of the fetus and to the mental health of the mother. If the mother's intake of Omega-3's
is minimal, the fetus will use all that's available. Research also shows this may cause depression in the
mother. Anutra™ is a rich, natural source of Omega-3's. Anutra also contains essential amino acids,
phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals including folate (folic acid) all of which are extremely important in
pregnancy and in fetal development.
Depression and mental health
The International Journal of Clinical Practice tells us that much research (including research from Harvard)
has linked low levels of Omega-3's in the body with mood disorders. Omega-3's are believed to keep the
brain's pattern of thoughts, reactions, and reflexes running cohesively and efficiently. Clinical trials
have concluded that Omega-3's may reduce the risk of various psychiatric disorders and Alzheimer's disease.
Healthy weight loss
Anutra is so nutrient dense that the equivalent quantity of nutrients can only be acquired by consuming a
combination of the highest food sources of those nutrients - an amount of food that represents
approximately 6 times the calories from Anutra. For example, consuming 3˝ oz. of Anutra results in about
6 times fewer calories from the combined best sources of the same nutrient (see chart). In addition,
Anutra's exceptionally high level of Tryptophan (an amino acid that suppresses appetite) may positively
affect satiety. Anutra™ can easily be used in formulating meal replacements.
Menopause
Anutra, with its high Omega-3 and Lignan content, may enhance and balance hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Anutra may help reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause and help maintain a positive mental
outlook.
High quality protein
For high protein diets, Anutra provides 97% of its calories from high quality plant protein and lipids
with very few calories from carbohydrates. The carbohydrate portion of Anutra is predominantly insoluble
fiber, which is beneficial to digestion in that it passes through the gastro-intestinal tract undigested
resulting in a non-caloric effect to our body.
The proteins in Anutra show an excellent distribution of amino acids including all essential amino acids.
Calculation of the Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), or biological value, indicates Anutra's protein has a
digestibility in the range of other proteins used in nutritional products of the highest standard.
The PER, or biological value for Anutra, is slightly lower than that of casein, a skim milk protein and a
standard of comparison of protein quality. However, it is slightly higher than that of soy protein, a
common and highly regarded source of quality protein.
Protein quality is the estimated percentage of protein that is likely to be used by the body. Protein
quality calculations yield relative protein quality for Anutra of 91% and for flax of 60% (both based on
limiting value, Lysine).
Amino acids, vitamins and minerals
Anutra is a rich source of all essential amino acids and of antioxidant vitamins and minerals. It is
very rich in calcium and iron; contains Vitamins A and C, potassium, phosphorous and magnesium, and is
a great source of B vitamins including folic acid (60 mcg per 3˝ oz.), an important B-vitamin especially
needed for pre-natal health. Anutra has 3 to 10 times the oil concentration of most grains and 1˝ to 2
times the protein concentration of other grains. These oils are the essential oils the body needs to help
absorb the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, & K.
Gastro-intestinal health
Due to its high concentration of dietary fiber, Omega-3's, magnesium, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and
immunity-boosting nutrients, Anutra™ may help maintain optimum intestinal health. Approximately 32% of
Anutra is fiber and of this amount nearly 100% of it is insoluble fiber. This is considerably higher than
wheat bran and flax. Anutra's high fiber improves laxation, prevents constipation and aids in colon
cleansing. You will notice a positive change in bowel movement and stool. Anutra's fiber helps maintain
healthy blood glucose levels and lowers cholesterol levels.
Simple carbohydrates are digested in approximately 20 minutes in the first 2 - 4 feet of our intestinal
tract. Our bodies tell our brain that it needs more food because of the rapid insulin-spike and fall
created by eating simple carbohydrates. Anutra contains a very special complex carbohydrate, generally
taking 3 - 4 hours to digest and utilizes 18 - 20 feet of our intestinal tract. This slower digestion
period keeps your body hydrated longer and lets you fully absorb all of Anutra's valuable nutrients thus
dramatically increasing your energy and endurance.
Anutra is also a hydrophilic colloid (a watery, gelatinous substance which forms the underlying elements
of all living cells). This important property aids in the digestion of food and helps control excess acids
associated with indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach and ulcers.
Rheumatoid arthritis and other auto-immune disease
Since studies prove that Omega-3's help the arteries and other parts of the body stay inflammation free,
it is believed that diets high in Omega-3's increase survival for those with auto-immune diseases.
Increasing your intake of Omega-3's may reduce the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Vasodilator
Vasodilation occurs when the arteries are enlarged which improves circulation and oxygen transport. Due
to its nutrient dense properties, Anutra likely has a vasodilatory effect by increasing the size of the
arteries and thereby lowering blood pressure. This is the same effect achieved by "Viagra"-type medication
and should work the same for women as it does for men.
Athletes
Anutra, a cornucopia for the 21st century, is the new version of "the running food" used by the ancient
Aztecs and the Indians of the southwest. It was said that the Indians would eat as little as a teaspoon
when going on a 24-hour forced march. The soluble fiber in Anutra forms a gel in the stomach that creates
a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down. This process slows
the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. This stabilization of blood sugar improves endurance.
Anutra also holds 18 times its weight in water, thereby offering prolonged hydration. Retaining moisture
and absorbing nutrients more efficiently results in electrolyte balance. Anutra's high protein efficiency
ratio also helps regenerate muscle tissue and its clinically proven reduction of inflammatory markers
increases physical performance and accelerates sports recovery.
Type 2 Diabetes
Anutra's nutrient dense qualities have been clinically proven to significantly improve metabolic control of
diabetes. In an acute study, after-meal blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were reduced thereby
improving insulin sensitivity. In a long-term trial, blood pressure was reduced. High blood pressure is
the major cardiovascular risk factor in those with Type 2 diabetes.
Relief against stomach irritation
Certain medications and vitamin supplements can create an irritation to the lining of the stomach that in
turn causes abdominal pain and discomfort. Additionally, medications and vitamins may sometimes "get stuck"
in the esophagus.
Medications which are widely known to cause stomach discomfort include NSAIDS such as aspirin, Advil, Aleve,
Motrin, steroids, cholesterol lowering medicines, high blood pressure medicines, and cancer medicines.
By taking meds and vitamins with as little as 2 tablespoons of ground or whole grain Anutra mixed with water,
milk or juice (which hydrates the Anutra), you can dramatically reduce the risk of irritating the stomach
lining and prevent the possibility of pills getting stuck in the esophagus.
Anutra's unique soluble fiber content combined with its hydrophilic colloidal properties makes a gel in the
stomach that creates a physical barrier thereby "lining" the stomach to prevent irritation.
