The Healthy Body Pak is 90 for Life

The Healthy Body Pak ™ is the minimum nutritional supplement combination that ensures you get "The Mighty 90" vitamins & minerals. It's also referred to as "The 90 for Life", formulated by Dr. Joel Wallach.

Your body needs 90 essential nutrients

True health and wellness is only possible if it radiates from a solid, fundamentally-sound center. There is a core group of 90 essential nutrients that have the most positive effect in bringing vibrant health to the body’s complex multi-dimensional systems.

Happy & Healthy with Start Pak Nutrition

Did you know that only 8-12% of the typical nutritional supplements available today are actually absorbed by your body? That means that approximately 90% of typical supplements are flushed down the drain.

Youngevity’s supplements are 90-98% absorbable! Why is there such a difference? The secret is our exclusive source of plant-derived minerals that dramatically increase bioavailability (absorbability).

"Every man, woman and child needs 90 essential nutrients just to survive, much less to thrive. To put the odds in your favor to live as long as possible, with the highest possible quality of life, you must get these nutrients every day.”

~ Joel Wallach, BS, DVM, ND

Bioavailability

Youngevity's Plant Derived Minerals™ are extracted from humic shale, which is a layer of earth formed from ancient, mineral-laden plants. Humic shale is superior to other commonly-used supplement sources such as bentonite (ground up clay) or dried sea beds (ground up rocks).

As in plants, Plant Derived Minerals™ have a natural negative electrical charge that has two important benefits. First, it may enhance the transport and bioavailability of other nutrients, and second, it may support the body’s natural detoxification of toxins and heavy metals.

Youngevity has formulated dozens of comprehensive health "Paks". From weight loss to blood sugar balance to cardiovascular health to bone and joint health, the Paks are here to take out the guesswork and provide you with turn key nutritional solutions to your health goals.

Why I Love MLM

By Ben Fuchs | PharmacistBen

Why I Love MLM

(PharmacistBen) I’ve been doing “multi-level marketing” (MLM) my whole adult life. While some folks consider MLM to be a scam, based on my experience, that’s just plain unfortunate. In many ways MLM is the ultimate egalitarian business. It’s person to person, extremely accountable and a great way to connect with our fellow human beings.

I remember when MLM first came on my radar back when it first dawned on me that I was going to need to figure my money thing out. I was about 22 years old, married with a kid on the way, and unemployed. I was doing all kinds of odd jobs and barely making ends meet, while borrowing from Peter to pay Paul where Peter was my parents and Paul was the IRS. I had student loans and dozens of other financial obligations I had to settle up.

Then one day, my upstairs neighbor Cynthia invited me to a dinner event. It was there that I was introduced to multi-level marketing for the first time and I was blown away. The stories seemed unbelievable, but everyone was so inspired that I signed up and paid my enrollment fee. While it took me a few years to really take advantage of everything MLM had to offer, I eventually found out the promises were legit. Today, nearly 35 years later, I’m a believer and I can report that MLM is the most user-friendly, elegant and egalitarian business model you could ever participate in.

First of all, the most important thing to recognize about “network marketing”, or MLM, is that it is nothing more than a business model. It is just another way of doing business. MLM is simply a marketing framework, a way to present the traditional, capitalist, buy/sell business structure that most of us would agree is the most effective economic strategy ever devised. There are all kinds of business models. McDonalds, Burger King and Midas have a business model called “franchising”. Wal-Mart and Kmart use a business model called “retail”. While Amway, Herbalife and Youngevity use a business model called “MLM”.

MLM is a business model for the average person. It’s a business model that regular Joe’s and Jane’s can participate in for start up costs that are next to nothing. For what is usually a thousand dollars in inventory and marketing materials, you can own a enterprise with all the perks of owning a business, including controlling your income and setting your own work schedule.

You can also enjoy tax benefits, like writing off expenses, including rent, utilities, gas, samples, paper clips and whatever else you’re using to support your business. MLM is legitimate business, and when you are participating in it, you own your own business. You’re the boss, though you have no employees and little or no inventory.

MLM is the ideal model for the independent-minded entrepreneur who believes in lifting himself up by their bootstraps. It’s perfect for the housewife or student who wants to make a little bit of money to pay some bills. Most people can easily make a couple hundred bucks of extra cash within 30 days. It’s also an ideal business model for people who want to make a lot of money; some folks become millionaires via MLM.

Another benefit is that the income is residual. Once you get started, checks just keep coming in. If you have a good product, something people are going to use anyway, then it’s really just a question of asking people to try your product and buy it.

But if “network marketing” was only about the individual, it wouldn’t work, because it wouldn’t be a network! In fact “network marketing”, or “multi-level marketing”, is about the group as much as it is about the individual. That’s because the individual’s success is largely determined by how effectively you can create and lead a team.

It is ultimately a team-building experience and opportunity, because success and financial compensation are almost solely dependent on the participation of multiple players. It is, after all, composed of multiple levels, each of which can be thought of as a type of team. If you can grow a team and lead it, you’re going to make money. In fact, the MLM model rewards this skill set more than any other.

So how does your team grow? Well, like any business, you need a good product and you have to show it off. Give yourself opportunities by sharing with everyone you meet. When it comes right down to it, once you have a viable quality product to sell, there’s only two steps involved in demonstrating how great your product is and beginning a strong and rewarding MLM business.

Number one: Ask people to try it. Just ask. If your product is valuable, after trying it once, people will be asking you for more. “How can I buy this stuff?” Or even better: “How can I participate?”

Number two: you need to be able to inspire and motivate 3 or 4 people who will function as your lieutenants. These 3 or 4 people you can motivate and inspire to be as motivated and inspired as you are. It’s really as simple as that. “Ask and inspire”, period! MLM is a business for the inspired. That’s why the MLM business is filled with motivated and enthusiastic men and women. When you hang out in the world of MLM, you are spending time with passionate, pumped-up people.

Perhaps the most beautiful thing about MLM is the organizational structure. Like most business, it’s hierarchical. There are levels above levels above levels. Like other business models, the success of the lower levels depends on the success of the upper. Business owners have to do well or their employees won’t have jobs. In a “multi-level marketing” framework, upline success flows downward to downlines. However, unlike other business models, in an MLM context, the success of the upper levels depends also on the success of those underneath. Uplines depend on downlines and downlines depend on uplines. In MLM, there is a built-in, “win-win” relationship, where the association between levels is mutually beneficial. You are teaching, mentoring and creating successful downlines, while the people you sign up are contributing to your wealth. Their success depends on your success and yours is dependent on theirs.

MLM amplifies our connectivity and cements our relationships . It’s friends helping friends. It’s the business model combined with the friendship model. What the heck is the problem with that?

Mighty 90 Essential Nutrients Detox

By Ben Fuchs | Pharmacist Ben

Mrs. Adams looked grumpy,but who could blame her. She had just gotten out of the hospital and her first stop after being discharged was my pharmacy and her first order of business was having a stack of prescriptions filled. And, aside from the fact that Mrs. Adams was going to be parting with a significant chunk of change (she had a twenty dollar co-pay which meant her 12 prescriptions were going to costing her 240 bucks), she was about to bombard her biology with enough chemical poisons to make her body eligible as a toxic waste dump. To compound her problems, unbeknownst to Mrs. Adams and probably her doctor too, not only were her pharmacological protocols going to be poisoning her body, but even worse, unless she was savvy enough to get on a supplement program, she was inevitably going to be dealing with the consequences of nutrient deficiency that could conceivably lead to a whole host of pathological symptomology, and might even shorten her life.

Mighty 90 Healthy Start PackOne of the more significant, if underappreciated, aspects of prescription drug toxicity, involves the depletion of nutritional raw materials that fuel the detoxification system, the collective term for the ordinarily extremely effective purifying processes that are, for the most part, housed in the liver. That’s because these detoxifying biochemical reactions all depend on the must-have “essential” nutrients known as the “Mighty 90” to do their work. In fact, every chemical reaction in the body depends on these essential substances and in the presence of excessive poisons (drugs), detox “machinery” can become like a metaphorical sinkhole, diverting and draining nutritional elements, keeping them from participating in the many other biochemical reactions that are responsible for maintaining the health and integrity of the human body.

Vital vitamins, mandatory minerals, and important amino acids and fatty acids are not only key detox players, but are also important molecules involved in providing cells with energy, and protection; and also as mechanical raw materials for building structural components of cells and tissues. The more drugs we take and the more they accumulate in the body, the more nutrients will be diverted from the heart, brain, skin, and various glands and organs and into the liver for detoxification. If they are not replaced via food and supplements, over time they can become depleted and not only will purification and elimination of poisons become compromised but so will also thousands of other biochemical reactions that likewise are dependent on the presence of these critically important biochemicals.

The key point is that the depletion of the “Mighty 90” that follows the entrance of drugs/toxins into the body, and the subsequent increases in detoxification activity may show up as a breakdown in any of the countless biochemical processes that occur in the body. Respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous system dysfunctions are especially likely. as these systems require large amounts of nutrition. The same is true of the digestive system and the skin. In fact any pathology is possible under conditions of nutrient deficiency, BUT because these disease symptoms may not be directly linked to specific pharmacological toxins they won’t be considered a side effect. These symptoms may not even show up on the package insert that by law must list all possible adverse reactions, but nonetheless, even if merely indirectly, they can be considered to be manifestations of the toxicity prescription drugs.

Thus the introduction of any poisons into the body, while obviously not in an organism’s interest, and which by definition can directly initiate toxicity, may also result in indirect negative effects simply by costing the body precious nutritional materials. Sure, the detox system is great and wonderfully efficient, but it needs raw materials to do its work. These raw materials are the essential vitamins, minerals and fatty and amino acids, and the more detoxification work that occurs, the greater the cost in these nutrients, and the more likely the appearance of side effects related to deficiency. All of us need the “Mighty 90” or “90 for Life”. The countless chemical reactions in the body depend on their presence, and because they can’t be made, they must be obtained and ingested. But if you’re on prescription drugs, which suck up nutrition like a dry sponge sucks up water, its extra important that you to be replacing them via diet and especially via supplementation. Focus especially on detox vitamin Like Vitamin C (500mg a day), Vitamin E (400 iu a day), and the B-complex (use a B-100 capsule several times a day), and sip on Youngevity’s Beyond Tangy Tangerine which is packed with all the B vitamins). Minerals like magnesium (1500mg a day), zinc (50mg a day) and copper (2-4 mg) a day can also be helpful. Hyaluronic acid (200mg a day) and glutamine (1-5 grams a day), while not strictly must-have biomolecules, can provide additional support for detoxification system.

Youngevity’s Beyond Tangy Tangerine

I’ve been designing consumer chemistry products for over a long time. I’ve developed oven cleaners, paint, paint removers, toothpaste, shampoos, skincare products and a whole bunch of nutritional products; hundreds of different products in all. I’m making this point because I want you to know that I know a good formulation when I see one and Youngevity’s Beyond Tangy Tangerine (BTT) is not just a good formulation, in my opinion it’s a great one!

Beyond Tangy Tangerine CanisterBeyond Tangy Tangerine is a powder that you add to water and drink. Although most folks tend to underestimate the therapeutic advantages of fluids over solid medicines, pharmacists don’t. Because we are steeped in the importance of absorption and dosages forms, we know it’s not only the medicine that counts it’s how much is medicine absorbed and used. That’s why in pharmacy school students are trained to understand the singular and unique effectiveness of the liquid format.

This potability affords the Beyond Tangy Tangerine numerous important benefits that you don’t get with ordinary capsules and tablets.

For example, because the BTT nutrients are in solution, there’s no need for dissolution, i.e. the dissolving of nutrients by the action of digestive secretions. The liquid format also allows for rapid absorption form the stomach and intestines. Rapid absorption means quick action.

This bypassing of the digestive mechanics makes liquid nutrition ideal for patients and clients who have some kind of impairment of digestive secretions i.e. acid and enzymes.

When you swallow a capsule or a tablet, that capsule or a tablet has to be processed before it can be used. That means digestive chemicals and juices such must be secreted for said tablet or capsule be disintegrated and dissolved and for the included nutrients to be released. If you’re not making enough of these digestive juices and many Americans aren’t you can quite literally be flushing your pills down the toilet.

Beyond Tangy Tangerine Supplement FactsThe facility with which the nutrients in the BTT enter into the blood can also be important for folks dealing with inflamed or irritated or otherwise broken down digestive lining.

What’s more important, if you’re dealing with celiac disease, Crohn’s Disease, IBS, or ulcerative colitis you are at especially high risk for nutritional deficiencies as absorption through the intestinal wall may be compromised. High concentrations of liquid nutrients can be used to “drive” vitamins and minerals and accessory nutrients through a damaged digestive lining.

The liquid format of the Beyond Tangy Tangerine also allows for formulation of a super concentrated nutritional supplement. There are over 100 different nutritional components in a scoop of BTT; it would impossible to deliver this kind of this kind of nutritional density in a tablet tor capsule. And if you have problems swallowing a pill, once again the liquid nature of the BTT makes dosing yourself with nutrition much easier to accomplish than with the more traditional capsules and tablets.

There’s yet another advantage to the powder/liquid nature of the BTT: flexibility. Because the powdered nutrients can be dissolved into liquids in a literally infinite variety of concentrations, dosages can be tailored to both need and taste. You need more concentrated dose of nutrition? No problem, just add a bit more powder. Your BTT tastes too strong? Again, no problem, just use a little less. Sometimes I’ll just put a half teaspoonful in a glass of water when a need quick pick-me- up. This kind of flexible dosing once again gives the Beyond Tangy Tangerine an ease and convenience that is impossible to achieve with tablets and capsules.

The liquid format of the BTT also allows for what is in essence a sustained release of nutrients. In other words, you can sip on the stuff. In fact you should sip on the stuff! Delivering the nutrients in the Beyond Tangy Tangerine to the body slowly gives you several important benefits. First of all, slow delivery means slow excretion. That means more time for the body to absorb the vitamins and minerals and other nutrients. In the world of nutrition what we don’t use we lose. An overly rapid delivery of nutrition to the body will inevitably result in overly rapid excretion. Even if the digestive tract and system are healthy, this means that much of the nutritional benefit of the BTT vitamins and minerals and accessory nutrients will be lost. That can be unfortunate. But, if the digestive tract is not healthy, swallowing down your BTT to quickly can lead to even more distressing results. Rapidly delivered nutrients will not only be lost via excretion, but even worse, they will tend to attract water as the body attempts to excrete the unabsorbed material. This can cause loose stools and diarrhea. If you use your BTT and find yourself running to the bathroom, for an evacuative emergency, chances are you’re dealing with impaired nutrient absorption. By sipping slowly and using a less concentrated dose you’ll be assuring a more complete absorption of the BTT and preventing the distressing diarrhea that can be caused by malabsorbtion and disturbed digestive chemistry.
