RevivAllä
Classic
Bio-Activated PhytoSterols and Sterolins in the
Original Whole Food Form
A POWERFUL
IMMUNE MODULATING, NATURAL FOOD SUBSTANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE IN A CONCENTRATED
PREDIGESTED FORMULA
What are
Phytosterols and Sterolines?
Plant (phyto) sterols and sterolins are plant "fats" present in all fruits and vegetables.
They are biologically active molecules isolated from plants called "phytochemicals" that have been clinically proven to significantly modulate the effects of the immune system.
Following ingestion, sterols are found in the tissues of healthy people. The sterolins (glucosides) "activate" the sterols.
Both are needed and work together to enhance immune function. The potent plant sterol and sterolin combination in
RevivAllä Classic contains powerful immune modulating plant nutrients which can help balance your delicate immune system.
Without sterols and sterolins in our diet, the immune system may become too stressed to produce enough invader fighting T-cells or may over-produce cells responsible for the autoimmune response.
A stressed or compromised immune system can lead to the following health challenges: frequent colds or flu, herpes (cold sores) outbreaks, allergies, chronic and continual fatigue, candida yeast overgrowth, painful joints and muscles, parasitic infections, psoriasis and eczema, and inflammatory disorders. Some of the richest sources of sterols and sterolins are found in seeds.
Organic seeds, the embryonic life force of plants, contain vital immune enhancing factors used by the world's healthiest cultures for thousands of years!
Why Do We Need PhytoSterols and Sterolins in Supplement Form?
Nutritionists recommend that our diet consist of 50-75 % raw (uncooked) foods.
The healing power of raw foods comes from intact sterols and sterolins along with essential enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.
Slicing, grating, and juicing fresh plant material does not affect the sterols, but modern food processing does.
The texture, appearance, or "saleability" of a food product is enhanced at the expense of the food value.
Our home food preparation and storage techniques such as freezing (which releases glucoside destroying enzymes) and boiling also wipe out these beneficial substances.
Because sterols and sterolins are thought to dissipate quickly after harvesting, our foods today have little sterolin (glucoside) content left by the time we eat them.
Unfortunately, whole foods containing high amounts of sterols and sterolins are often difficult to digest and assimilate.
RevivAllä Classic has been formulated with our unique
Poten-Zymeä process of lacto-fermentation for increased nutrient absorption and
bioavailability.
Clinical Studies* Prove PhytoSterols and Sterolins Boost
Immunity
The purpose and function of sterols and sterolins is to bolster an underactive immune system and turn off an overactive immune system. Taking both sterols and sterolins helps balance the cells of the immune system so they can function optimally.
Scientists have long been searching for a drug that could effectively balance the T-cells, strengthen the immune system against disease, while at the same time control the critical autoimmune reaction.
RevivAllä Classic may help maintain and support that crucial balance.
There are hundreds of vegetables and fruits that contain phytosterols and
sterolins. Testing has been conducted using various plant fats from several sources.
Plant fats (phytosterols and sterolins) have been found to be effective in balancing immune response and useful in the treatment of autoimmune diseases like lupus and multiple sclerosis, as well as infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis
C. (Nutrition News, April 30, 1999)
Immune Enhancement
Phytosterols and sterolins modulate the function of T-cells.
T-cells are white blood cells produced by the thymus gland, which is a major component of the immune system.
T-cells specialize in fighting viruses and certain types of bacteria which live inside the cells.
Researchers are convinced that phytosterols and sterolins enhance T-cell function.
One type of T-cell (the Helper Cell) excretes proteins that regulate the immune system.
Helper T-cells are divided into two types. Type TH-1 and Type TH-2. These cells must remain in a delicate balance at all times for the body to remain healthy.
An immune system that is not functioning properly is consistently low in T-cells and other chemicals.
When the TH-1 cells are deficient, such things as infection, chronic inflammation, and ultimately, tissue damaging disease will result.
In double blind studies, sterols and sterolins have been shown to significantly enhance the proliferation of the CD-4 TH-1 cells and to increase the production of the "lymphokines" Interlukin 2 (IL2) and
gamma-interferon (IFN-g and IFN-y).* *
Reducing Autoimmune Responses
Our body's immune system is like a production line in a factory. Every step in the process is dependent on every other step. Illness, viruses, and infections create an imbalance by suppressing our TH-1 cells.
TH-1 cells control the TH-2 cell's release of chemicals (IL4, IL6, and IL10), which enhance the activity of B-cells.
B-cells produce antibodies that attack invaders outside the cell walls. Overactive B-cells are thought to be responsible for debilitating and chronic autoimmune disorders such as
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis (MS), myasthenia gravis (MG), allergies, asthma, and many others.
Studies have shown that the pro-inflammatory IL6 and TNF-a chemicals produced by the TH-2 cells are "switched off" when the cells are cultured in the phytosterols and sterolins such as those in
RevivAllä Classic. Scientists monitoring the tests of phytosterols and sterolins believe that plant fats have the ability to actually "turn off" the factors that can initiate the inflammatory process. Dr. Chris Morris, N.D., says that he uses sterols and sterolins to support his patient¹s endocrine systems because plant fats are especially useful for treating autoimmune diseases which cause metabolic breakdowns.
Symptoms Responding to Phytosterols and
Sterolins*
Studies show response by patients with a number of immune dysfunctions including chronic fatigue, MS, and diabetes.
The discoverer of HIV, Luc Montagnier, now advocates the use of phytosterols and sterolins in conjunction with antiviral
treatments. (AIDS Analysis Africa, Vol. 7, No. 4, Dec. 96/97) Anecdotal reports as well as some ongoing studies indicate phytosterols and sterolins benefit those suffering from allergies, viruses,
fibromyalgia, BPH, lupus, TB, psoriasis, and some forms of tumors.
Plant fats can protect bone marrow that may be damaged by chemotherapy.
Sterols and sterolins are precursors to pregnenolone and DHEA.
It is believed that supplementation with sterols and sterolins may have positive long term effects by increasing DHEA levels in the body.
"Plant sterols have beneficial effects on hormone metabolism generally and lower cholesterol when the blood levels are too high." (Journal of Complementary Medicine, article by Nancy Beckham, 02/02/96)
Research has shown the phytosterols and sterolins in RevivAllä
Classic can help block excess animal cholesterol absorption. (University at Buffalo, State University of New York)
Malignancies:
Phytosterols and sterolins may block the development of tumors in the colon, breast, and prostate glands by altering cell membrane transfer in tumor growth.
Studies indicate that after five days, breast cancer cell cultures supplemented with B-sitosterol had 66% fewer breast cancer cells than controls.
Another study showed a 28% inhibition of prostate cancer cell growth after being exposed to B-sitosterol for five days in vitro.
"When we treated prostate cancer cells with phytosterols, cell proliferation was inhibited.
We found the same effect in vitro with breast and colon cancer cells." (Press Release, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, 4/29/99
[breast] and 10/25/98 [prostate])
Anti-inflammatory:
Phytosterols and Sterolins have been shown to be effective in carrying out anti-inflammatory activity at sites where chronic inflammation is present.
By blocking the abnormal production of inflammatory proteins, sterols and sterolins can inhibit inflammatory conditions.
They decrease the blood levels of cortisol. Studies show significant reduction of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. Trials are continuing on
RA.*
The
Poten-Zymeä
Process
The nutrient dense foods and herb blends in RevivAIIä Male Vitality Formula are pre-digested using the proprietary
Poten-Zymeä
process (Poten-tiation by Enzym-atic activation). This proprietary process is an exclusive natural process of lacto-fermentation and enzymatic
predigestion, within a matrix of carefully selected whole foods. The bioavailablity and absorption of nutrients using this unique
process is increased from 2-5 times. Many people with sensitive digestive systems have a difficult time obtaining nutrition from
grains, seeds, and legumes. The Poten-Zymeä process solves this problem. The Poten-Zymeä process creates and
liberates valuable compounds within the foods, including: enzymes, antioxidants, beta
glucans, phytosterols, and many others.
The
UltraZorbeä Caplet Delivery System
The UltraZorbeTM caplet delivery system (Ultra-absorption) is a
revolutionary technology whereby all nutrients and ingredients in RevivAllTM
Classic retain their maximum nutritive content, viability, and "live"
food properties. The UltraZorbeTMcaplet delivery system accomplishes
this without the use of heat, animal products, traditional binders, fillers, or
excipients. UltraZorbeTMcaplets are designed to provide rapid
disintegration and dissolution, and thus deliver the desired nutrients in the
most efficient and effective time frame possible.
