Product description

Sea Essentials is a healthful liquid nutritional supplement derived from sea vegetation that is harvested from ripe, lush sea vegetables from the purest arctic seawater. Sea Essentials contains every nutrient known to man in nature's perfect balance. Just 1 oz. daily of Sea Essentials has all the vitamins, macro-minerals, trace minerals, amino acids and enzymes to help your body function properly. Modern agricultural practices have adversely affected the quality of our food supply. Growing foods for quantity, transportation and storage is often detrimental to their nutritional value. Soil quality has been degraded through modern farming methods. From The Vitamin Revolution in Health Care (Arcadia Press, 1996) by Dr. Michael Jansen, MD. Land vegetation cannot obtain maximum levels of vitamins and minerals from soil that is abused and stripped of nutrients. Sea vegetation offers a natural and more intense nourishment than any synthetic or soil grown nutrient. Only 10-20% of vitamins and minerals in a pill form are absorbed by the body. Even pills listed as all natural often have added fillers and coatings that inhibit absorption. Nutritional drinks offer a 98% absorption rate because they bypass the digestive process and go directly into the bloodstream and into the cells within a matter of minutes.

Suggested Usage

Drink entire contents of bottle for a daily dose of vitamins, amino-acids, minerals, and enzymes.

Product description

Calcium Balance is a great tasting liquid concentrate formula, specially designed to help you maintain your optimal bone health. This new formula uses the purest ingredients and synergistically combines the minerals Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus with the beneficial effect of the selected herbs and Vitamin D. Calcium Balance contains highly soluble and readily absorbable forms of minerals. Calcium, the most abundant mineral in our body, has a significant role in our metabolism. It is involved in bones, teeth, muscle contraction, blood clotting, blood pressure, digestive enzymes, hormones, energy, and fat metabolism. Phosphorus improves calcium absorption and helps maintain blood pH. Magnesium is necessary for energy metabolism, supports a healthy cardiovascular system and helps balance a healthy blood pressure. Vitamin D maintains normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and aids in calcium absorption. The daily dosage of Calcium Balance will provide 50% RDI for calcium, magnesium, 49% for phosphorus and 31% for vitamin D. The two herbs Rehmannia and Eleuthero have a positive effect on bone metabolism by stimulating the proliferation of osteoblasts, the bone forming cells and inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, the bone dissolving cells. Lo Han soothes and calms the digestive system and Stevia supports blood sugar and pressure levels.

Suggested Usage

Shake Well. Mix one full teaspoon (5 ml) in any cool drink. Drink 2 times daily for 50% RDI. Take with food.

Product description

An advanced version of the famous Coral Calcium, this product also combines all necessary co-nutrients that are vital to calcium’s metabolism into the bone. The foundational minerals are from coral reefs located in pristine waters off the coast of Okinawa, Japan and consciously harvested in an eco-friendly manner. Harvesting is done by a company who is an active member of the World Wildlife Federation and in waters only that have been pre-approved by the Okinawa Prefectural Government. Well publicized testimony on Coral Calcium makes it clear that Coral Calcium’s health benefits go well beyond skeletal health. Cures of a large, diverse group of health problems have all been reported. It is believed that the mechanism for this is that Coral Calcium alkalinizes overly acidic blood. As mentioned earlier, a common denominator in many degenerative diseases is over acidic conditions primarily due to our preponderance for an animal based diet. In addition, Calcium from the Sea contains a powerful catalyst that is several times stronger than Coral Calcium. Called NanoCalcium, this catalyst alkalinizes the blood system almost immediately through ionic transfer while it is still in the stomach.

Suggested Usage

Depending on your state of health or nutritional goals, take 1 or 2 capsules with the noon and evening meals, plus 1 or 2 capsules right before bed time.

Ingredients

FAQ


I have used your colloidal products in the past and was wondering if colloidal silver is safe to use during pregnancy. Also, would it be safe to give colloidal silver to a 2 year old? Harmonic Innerprizes’s colloidal products are 100% safe during pregnancy and for children of any age. Unlike most colloidal products which contain high levels of silver (100ppm - 500ppm), Harmonic Innerprizes’s Colloidal Silver, Silica & Gold contains the most effective level, only 10ppm (more is not better). The electrostatic mineral particles are positively charged and therefore do not enter into the blood and are not absorbed by the body. Unlike other products on the market, Harmonic Innerprizes’s Colloidal Silver, Silica & Gold works through electromagnetic frequencies that encourage the immune system to produce T-cells, the body’s natural line of defense against most microorganisms. Colloidal Silver, Silica & Gold is extremely effective as a preventative, requiring only ?dropper once at bedtime (1/4 teaspoon), or 1 dropper full (1/2 teaspoon) 2 - 3 times daily for acute conditions. It has been used successfully for ear aches, infections, burns, gum disease, sore throats and many other conditions. Also effective against streptococcus bacteria and Candida albicans as observed under dark field microscopy. Is Harmonic Innerprizes Gold safe to take during pregnancy and nursing? How about for children? From what age? Harmonic Innerprizes Gold is probably safe to take intermittently during pregnancy in small amounts, consuming no more that 1/16 teaspoon, or 1/2 of a 300mg capsule per day. However, during pregnancy, a mother’s energy is naturally focused inward to the developing fetus. We do not recommend taking any substance that diverts energy from this natural process. A better consideration would be Aulterra. It is not stimulating and it balances and harmonizes the energy fields of the body. This can be extremely beneficial during pregnancy. Aulterra is also an excellent source of dietary silica which is the most abundant mineral in the tissue of both the fetus and placenta at the time of birth. In general, we do not recommend Harmonic Innerprizes Gold or any of the other powders except Aulterra for children under the age of twelve. However, it is interesting to watch certain children whose intuition strongly urges them to occasionally take small amounts of Harmonic Innerprizes Gold, or Chamae Rose Tea. Harmonic Innerprizes Black may also be used on occasion in minuscule amounts to remove toxins from the body. Are there any problems with heavy metals in the Harmonic Innerprizes powders? We have done extensive testing and research into this question and have found that the consumption of HarmoniInnerprizes powders, even at dosages considerably higher than HarmoniInnerprizes' recommendations, is completely safe from any heavy metal toxicity. There are numerous considerations when evaluating a substance for potential heavy metal toxicity. The first is understanding the correct proportions. For example, the heavy metal concentration of the powders varies between 9ppm and 17ppm. In contrast, heavy metal concentration of one serving of vegetables will vary between 1ppm - 3ppm. The recommended daily dosage is 300mg. - 600mg. a day. The daily recommended consumption of vegetables is 5 - 6 servings per day. If you consume 4 ounces of vegetables per serving, and if we take the maximum variables for each substance, you will have consumed approximately 200 times more heavy metals from your daily vegetable intake than from the recommended daily consumption of any HarmoniInnerprizes mineral powder. A second consideration is the polarity of the metals involved. Are the metals positively charged or negatively charged? Minerals from organic matter are easily absorbed because they carry a negative charge. Because they are readily absorbed, most dietitians recommend good vegetables for mineral and other phytochemical requirements. On the other hand, if minerals are positively charged, they are not easily absorbed into the body. In naturally occurring mineral deposits such as HarmoniInnerprizes? a the major portion of the minerals are positively charged. This means that they are not readily absorbed by the body. They simply pass through. To provide assurance that heavy metals from HarmoniInnerprizes powders are not absorbed into the body, we conducted hair analysis on people who had consumed the Gold every day for over six months. Out of all the people tested, none showed any heavy metal accumulation attributable to their consumption of Harmonic Innerprizes Gold. Curiously, two of the people tested were consuming over 50 times the recommended dosage, not only did they not show any build-up of heavy metals from Harmonic Innerprizes Gold, one of them had the least amount of total heavy metals than any one in the study. The beneficial effects of the HarmoniInnerprizes powders are 95% electromagnetic. That is why consumption of so little is required to receive the desired results. The Harmonic Innerprizes powders are not recommended or intended to be used as simple dietary mineral supplements. The little amounts consumed would not amount to any significant biological utilization of the minerals for health maintenance. Since they are predominately positively charged, they are not absorbed by the body anyway. A similar question occasionally arises wondering if Harmonic Innerprizes Gold is radioactive. We conducted gross alpha, beta and gamma scans and the independent laboratory conducting the test(s) concluded that Harmonic Innerprizes Gold had no more radiation than what would be found in normal foodstuff.

How it works

AdvaCal is new to the United States, but it has been available for some years in Japan under the name AAACa, where it is recommended by Dr. Takuo Fujita, President of the Osteoporosis Foundation of Japan and founder of the Calcium Research Institute. Challenging the commonly held notion that Osteoporosis is a “woman’s problem?related to changing hormone levels, Dr. Fujita observed that men, too, suffer from this debilitating condition. Recognizing this, he set out to find a solution that relied not on manipulating hormones but on helping your body break down and use calcium more efficiently. And he did it. In studies with women whose average age was 82 ?the age at which bones are often so weak they break spontaneously ?AdvaCal not only halted bone loss, it produced increases in bone mineral density of up to 3% a year over a period of years. Everybody knows calcium is essential for strong teeth and bones. But not everyone realizes that calcium is vital for other body systems as well. Your body uses calcium to help maintain a steady heartbeat and promote normal nervous system function. That’s why you need 1000 to 2000 milligrams of calcium every day. And if your diet does not supply that much, your body taps its emergency supply ?the calcium that’s stored in your bones.

FAQ


How do I reduce my risk of Osteoporosis? You can reduce your risk through weight-bearing exercise, not smoking, and eating foods rich in calcium such as: milk, broccoli, yogurt, salmon, and dark green vegetables. How much calcium should I be taking? The recommended calcium intake is 1000-1500 mg/day for adults. However, national surveys indicate that most Americans are not meeting their required calcium intake through diet. A calcium supplement may be beneficial. What is advanced calcium AdvaCAL? AdvaCAL (AAACa) is natural calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide with HAI, a patented amino acid extract from Japanese seal algae ?an extraordinary bone building calcium unlike any other. AdvaCAL is also available in a complete bone health formula, called AdvaCAL Ultra with magnesium, vitamins D and C, copper, boron, silica, zinc, and manganese. How does AdvaCAL compare to other calciums? AdvaCAL is the #1 bone building calcium, clinically proven to build strong, healthy bones. Can I take AdvaCAL with Osteoporosis prescribed drugs such as Fosamax, Premarin, HRT or Evista? Yes. AdvaCAL is both safe and recommended with these products. When should I take AdvaCAL for best results? For maximum benefit, take 3 AdvaCAL or AdvaCAL Ultra caps twice daily (in the morning and in the evening), with a meal/snack to enhance absorption. How soon will I see results? AdvaCAL clinical studies have shown up to a 10% increase in bone mass in as little as six months. The best way to monitor your results is by having bone density tests done twice yearly. What are AdvaCAL’s other benefits? AdvaCAL caplets are small and easy to swallow. AdvaCAL is safe and well tolerated in the stomach.

FAQ


What are dietary supplements? Dietary supplements are their own product category separate from foods and drugs. Dietary supplements is the correct term, although nutritional supplements, supplements, vitamins and nutraceuticals are words that have been used to describe dietary supplements. Dietary supplements are products containing nutrients that are able to affect the structure or function of the body. Traditionally, dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, herbs and other dietary substances. What are vitamins? Vitamins are organic substances naturally found in foods. Body processes such as growth, maintenance and tissue repair require 13 essential vitamins. If a certain vitamin is deficient in the diet, a deficiency disease may occur. Why should I take vitamins or dietary supplements? You should take vitamins or dietary supplements for better health. There are millions of scientific articles, books and other publications about the health-promoting effects of nutrients that are present in dietary supplements. Many nutrients are essential, or indispensable, meaning we cannot live without ingesting them. Other nutrients, such as antioxidants, are not essential for life, but do have health-promoting properties. Dietary supplements simply keep people healthier and happier. What supplements should I take? There is no standard answer for what supplements a person should take. Each person must make choices about their health priorities. Since multiple vitamin/mineral products are consumed by almost all supplement users, it is obvious that a product containing essential vitamins and minerals is a good start. Seeking advice from physicians, nutritionists, dietitians and other health care providers is another way to determine if dietary supplements are needed. There are a multitude of books written for the public that explain the benefits of dietary supplements and what supplements are used for specific health concerns. What are some of the more popular or important dietary supplements? Multiple vitamin/mineral supplements are the most popular dietary supplement, and provide broad-based nutritional support with a large number of nutrients. Antioxidants are also popular and important for long-term health. These would include vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, selenium and a host of other nutrients. Calcium and other minerals are important for bone health. Joint products containing glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates have become extremely popular as they have been shown to support healthy joints if used consistently over time. What is the difference between fat-soluble and water soluble vitamins? Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are found in the oily parts of food and are stored in the body. The water-soluble vitamins, which are present in the watery parts of food, include vitamin C and the B vitamins (B1, B2, niacin, B6, folic acid, B12, pantothenic acid and biotin). Excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins are eliminated in the body's urine. What are minerals? Minerals are inorganic elements that are essential to the nutrition of all humans. Minerals are needed for a variety of purposes ranging from bone and blood formation to energy production. The 20 essential minerals are either major minerals (calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulfur) or trace minerals (boron, chromium, cobalt, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, silicon, vanadium and zinc) depending on the amount that is present in the body. If a diet is lacking adequate amounts of one or more mineral, deficiencies may develop. For example, deficiencies of calcium are linked to bone loss, and deficiencies of iron are linked to some anemias. What is the difference between vitamins in pill form and those found in food? Does the body absorb both equally well? Pharmaceutical manufacturers have singled out the most useful and most stable forms of each vitamin over the last 100 years. Sometimes these forms are nature-identical, and sometimes not. Usually, with only a few exceptions, the vitamins in pills are utilized and handled by the body just as efficiently, or more so, than the vitamin forms found in foods. One exception is vitamin E. The natural forms, called d-alpha-tocopherols, are absorbed and utilized twice as well as the synthetic forms, denoted by dl-alpha tocopherol. There might also be some differences in utilization between synthetic and natural beta carotene (vitamin A precursor), vitamin Ds and vitamin Ks. It makes no differences to our cells if the vitamin forms (called vitamers) were synthesized or came from a pill or an apple, as long as the vitamer is nature-identical. Vitamin E is the only vitamin where the natural vs. synthetic source makes a difference, and our bodies favor the natural form. What are RDAs? The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are a set of nutrient and energy standards developed by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences. Periodically, a group of nutritional experts meet to review the latest science to help develop nutritional allowances for maintenance of good health. RDAs are defined as the levels of intake of essential nutrients judged to be adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of healthy persons. However, RDAs are not designed to determine optimal intake, and they do not consider the health benefits of non-essential nutrients. I have heard that the dietary supplement industry is unregulated. Why are there not some controls and assurances of public safety? Dietary supplements are most definitely regulated, and any reports that the industry is unregulated are untrue. The Federal Food Drug & Cosmetic Act prohibits misbranding and adulterations of food, drugs, and dietary supplements. DSHEA provides procedures for making claims about dietary supplements and how they affect the structure and function of the body. Further, the FDA reviews all statements made in labeling. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. As with any product, Schiff recommends that users read and follow all directions. What is the DSHEA? DSHEA is the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act, passed into law in 1994. The DSHEA amended (changed) the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to define and regulate dietary supplements as their own category of foods. DSHEA was passed by Congress because of overwhelming grass roots support from citizens who wanted to benefit from the healthy aspects of "vitamin pills." DSHEA defines dietary supplements as vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, extracts, concentrates, metabolites, or a combination thereof. DSHEA defines the legal groundwork that governs the identity, benefits, manufacturing practices, and safety of dietary supplements. I hear some health care professionals say that dietary supplements are dangerous and are not needed if I eat a good diet. Is this true? No to both questions. The FDA has removed or prevented the introduction of dietary supplements that were shown to pose hazards for the public. Dietary supplements have shown a tremendous safety record, as would be expected for health-promoting products. In fact, food is more of a hazard than dietary supplements could ever be. Also, established and reputable dietary brands, such as Schiff, have internal guidelines that prevent questionable or unsafe products from being considered. Warning and Caution statements appear on dietary supplement product labels if there are any contraindications known. Few, if any, Americans routinely eat a “good?diet, as shown repeatedly by U.S. Government surveys. Variable intake of essential nutrients may be good enough to prevent classical nutrient deficiency diseases, but practically every health condition has been linked to inadequate dietary intake of healthy foods. Dietary supplements contain healthy substances derived from foods, and should be thought of as part of a healthy diet. Furthermore, there is now considerable scientific evidence that optimal intake of some nutrients, like vitamin E, is impossible even from a healthy diet. In other words, more is better for some nutrients. Since over half of all Americans take some type of dietary supplements, it is obvious that most Americans believe they need to improve their diets, and dietary supplements are a good way.
