Americans have an increasingly segmented life which makes meeting nutritional needs difficult, at best. Modifying or supplementing the diet to compensate for the on-the-go, convenience foods is a REALISTIC solution. Low Carb Diets, Food Supplements and Fiber additives to food or juice are balancing mechanisms used to meet these needs. Women and men are recognizing the associated health benefits (weight loss, cardiovascular and immune health, etc.) with these additions to their diet but are overwhelmed by “HOW!?”
Flax-N-Whey™ is the perfect insurance policy for SAD (Standard American Diet). SAD (as reflected by NHANES† data) is considerably lower in Omega-3 fatty acids than U.S. Health Experts recommend. This specialized form of “good fat” offers a wide array of health benefits. Research shows the consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA, EPA and DHA) may help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease while improving cell communication and function!
Flax3™ contains a gently processed, solublized Flax meal combined with an ultra-refined stabilized source of marine Omega-3’s to deliver a robust matrix of 36 mg of EPA and DHA combined with 540 mg of ALA (flax) per serving. Stability of these essential fats is maintained by an array of natural antioxidants found in flaxseed which act synergistically to protect these precious oils. Flax3™ contains large amounts of phytoestrogens, known as lignans, which provide tremendous estrogen balancing support.
For athletes and highly active individuals, one of the most important benefits of ALA is the role it plays in optimizing energy reserves in the body. ALA improves the metabolism of fats which is especially helpful in endurance sports, such as running, riding, swimming or during cardio exercise in excess of 45 minutes. After 45 minutes (avg) the body increases the % of fat and protein utilized to provide energy.
Furthermore, ALA improves the body’s response time to brain messages. Electrical impulses must move from brain to muscles and across cell membranes (which are comprised mostly of fat/lipid). Depending on the diet, cell membranes can be fluid or stiff; unsaturated or saturate, efficient or poor. ALA is an unsaturated fat, which increases fluidity of cell membranes and aides in the repair of muscle after strenuous exercise or activity.
Flax-N-Whey™ delivers the optimal source of whey protein by combining a highly refined cross-flow micro-filtration and ion exchange processed whey. This specialized processing system insures a high quality protein source in the form of short and long chain peptides to increase protein retention – High Biological Value (HBV). Flax-N-Whey™ is also remarkably high in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) which are the most required amino acids for maintaining metabolic rate (energy production) especially during dieting or protracted periods of “in-between” meals. Energy production is further enhanced through the addition of Chrono-Dex™, a long lasting energy substrate, which doesn’t affect insulin levels and minimizes fat storage.
Regardless of ones lifestyle daily stress negatively impacts our immune system and our ability to remain healthy. Whey protein consumption has been shown to build our immune system by increasing glutathione concentrations, a major antioxidant necessary for lymphocyte proliferation (white blood cell growth).
