I. INTRODUCTION

“GBG “ is a vitamin and mineral preparation with many additional nutritional supplements.

1) This vitamin preparation contains many of the essential vitamins which are expressed as

percent of Daily Value (DV) per serving based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

2) Many of the important minerals are contained in the “GBG” preparation. There are two

categories of minerals:

a) Bulk or essential minerals called “macrominerals” such as calcium and magnesium.

b) “Trace minerals or microminerals” are important. These can include boron, chromium,

iron, zinc, copper, selenium and many others.

3) Herbal Energizer Liquid Extract

The energy blend portion contains “adaptogens” such as Schizandra seed extract,

Eleutherococcus senticosus root extract (Siberian ginseng).

“Adaptogens” are natural substances found in certain plants and herbs. The adaptogens help

the body achieve increased mental, physical, and work performance. Dr. Nicholai Lazarev of

Russia coined the term “adaptogen” in 1947.

Dr. Lazarev was the mentor and teacher of Dr. I.I. Brekhman. Dr. Brekhman and his group in

Russia were responsible for the pioneering work on the various “adaptogens” found in plants.

The adaptogens have three important properties:

a) They are non-toxic.

b) They help increase the body’s mental, physical and work performance. The adaptogens

help provide resistance to stressful insults to the body’s cells.

c) They increase the ability of the body to balance and normalize overall health and

homeostasis.

d) Fruit blend contains many extracts from fruits that contain antioxidants and many healthy

ingredients.

e) Age-Defying/Antioxidant Blend.

The ingredients have anti-aging properties with antioxidants and nucleotides.

f) Trace Minerals

The body utilizes over 80 minerals for maximum healthy function.

g) Miscellaneous Ingredients:

Whole aloe, choline, Inositol, etc.

h) Toxic Metals

The GBG preparation has been manufactured so the common toxic metals, such as

lead, arsenic and mercury are absent or the levels are far below the toxic range.

Exposure to “toxic metals” has become an increasingly recognized source of illness.

Toxic metals are often called “heavy metals”. These include arsenic, lead, mercury,

cadmium, beryllium and chromium in high concentrations.

Some of these so-called “toxic metals” in small amounts are necessary to support life.

However, in large amounts they become toxic and become a significant health hazard.

III. VITAMINS AND MACROMINERALS

Vitamins and minerals are vital to life and bodily functions. The best way to get the vitamins and

minerals is through food. However, today dietary supplements can be useful as medicines. With

proper scientific evidence, vitamins and minerals are being recommended for the prevention

and treatment of several illnesses. In such treatment regimens, often higher doses of the dietary

supplements are needed.

A) Water-soluble vitamins are vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and eight members of the vitamin B

complex: thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin, pyridoxine (vitamin B6), folic acid,

cobalamin (vitamin B12), biotin, and pantothenic acid.

B) Fat-soluble vitamins are retinol (vitamin A), cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol (vitamin D), -

tocopherol (vitamin E), and phylloquinone and menaquinone (vitamin K). Only vitamins A, E,

and B12 are stored to any significant extent in the body.

Many Americans are deficient in important vitamins and minerals in their daily diet. The U.S.

Department of Agriculture found that a significant percentage of the population receives less

than 80% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamins A, C, and B complex and

the essential minerals, calcium, magnesium and iron.

Data reported by D. Bergner has shown that since 1948, levels of essential minerals, iron,

manganese, and copper have declined significantly in many agricultural crops. Iron and

selenium content and levels in the soil and food have dropped dramatically. Residents who live

in the Northern part of the U.S. have a lower incidence of stroke, heart disease, and cancer than

residents in the southern part of the U.S. Studies have shown that selenium deficiency will lead

to increased risk for stroke, heart disease, and cancer.

Today, the vitamins and minerals are often expressed on the basis of DV(daily value) which can

be based on a diet, such as a 2000 calorie daily diet. Previously, the RDA (recommended daily

allowance) where known, was expressed in cases of Vitamins and minerals.

A number of vitamins and minerals have been associated with preventing age-related chronic

disease and also improving pregnancy outcomes. These nutrients include:

• Vitamins C, E, and D.

• Folic acid.

• Vitamin B12 and B6 vitamins.

• Minerals, include calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and selenium.

In cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, there is a link between antioxidant nutrients and B

vitamins.

Higher intake of folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 are required to lower homocysteine levels.

Vitamins E and C may help in lowering CV risk factors associated with elevated homocysteine

levels.

Page 5

 

Examples of Micronutrients and Disease Prevention.

1) Calcium and vitamin D intake have been associated with risk of osteoporosis, hypertension,

colon cancer, and lead poisoning.

2) Dietary antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, B-carotene have been associated with

decreased risk of some cancers, cataract, hypertension, infectious disease, and heart

diseases, as well as protection against pro-oxidant environmental pollutants.

3) Vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid are associated with reduced risk of some cancers, cognitive

impairment, heart disease, neural tube birth defects.

4) Reduction of total and saturated dietary fats is inversely associated with cardiovascular

disease, hypertension, gallbladder disease, obesity, and cancer.

IV. HERBAL ENERGIZER LIQUID EXTRACT

This group consists of two “adaptogens” which has been defined above.

The special biological and physiological properties of the adaptogen herbs are:

a) Schizandra chinensis (seed extract).

1) Increases physical and mental work capacity.

2) Speeds recovery from fatigue

3) Produces antioxidant activities against oxygen free radicals which are damaging

to body cells

4) Increases resistance to stress

b) Eleutherococcus senteicosus (Acantho root)

a. Increases physical capacity and endurance

b. Increases attention span

c. Sustains energy levels during prolonged work periods.

d. Provides resistance to stress

e. Enhances the immune system

c) Rhodiola Rosea (Golden root)

added as a miscellaneous ingredient

a. increases work ability

b. improves quality of sleep and appetite

c. possesses anti-stress action

d. aids in lowering lipids and triglycerides

d) L-carnitine

Is an amino acid synthesized in the liver and kidneys from lysine and methionine. The

claims of biological activities of L-carnitine are:

a. Increases fat metabolism

b. Lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels

c. Is cardioprotective

e) Glucoranolactone is a naturally occurring metabolite, a carbohydrate produced

by the human metabolic system, formed when glucose breaks down and is

believed to be helpful in ridding the body of harmful substances and providing

an instant energy boost.

V. FRUIT BLEND

This blend consists of many fruit extracts.

Fruits are: 1) a rich source of essential nutrients and healthy antioxidants, such as beta

carotene, vitamins C and E, bioflavonoid; 2) rich source of fiber. The general amount of fiber

recommended is about 35 grams per day. Americans who favor meat, fat, refined sugar and

white flour may have only 4-8 grams of fiber in their daily diet.

The fiber is important as it (1) reduces the risk of colorectal cancer, 2) binds heavy metals and

other toxins and helps in their elimination, and 3) helps in rapid transit time of waste products.

Slower transit time will cause accumulation of toxic waste with inflammation and damage of

intestinal tissues.

Some of the fruit ingredients will be discussed.

a. Fruits

1) Wolfberry or Goji berry. This is a popular food and drink in China and known

medicinally for 2000 years. There are a number of compounds including

flavinoids and pyrole derivatives. The fruit has been used to treat a number of

chronic health conditions, including diabetes and cancer.

2) Mangostene

Mangostene is predominantly grown in Southeast Asia. It contains a lot of

xanthones and many other ingredients beneficial to good health.

It has been used to treat many health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and

fibromyalgia.

3) Pomegranate

It is widely cultivated over the whole Mediterranean region. It is now grown in the

drier parts of California and Arizona.

Pomegranates are rich in Vitamin C and polyphenols (antioxidant). It has been

helpful in reducing heart disease risk factors.

4) Acai Fruit

Acai berry is harvested from the Brazilian rain forest. This fruit has many

beneficial ingredients but has strong antioxidant properties. Acai has up to 33

times the antioxidant content as red wine grapes.

VI. AGE-DEFYING/ANTIOXIDANT BLEND

Many of the ingredients in this blend are biologically and physiologically active with beneficial

effects, due to the antioxidant properties. Before the specific ingredients will be discussed, we

will discuss antioxidants in general and the problem of “free radicals”.

The antioxidants in general demonstrate anti-aging properties by preventing cellular damage

and damage to DNA and RNA constituents.

a). What are Antioxidants?

Antioxidants are molecules which can interact with “free radicals” and terminate the

reaction before cellular damage occurs. Within the body there are several enzyme

systems that scavenge free radicals:

1) The principal vitamin anti-oxidants are vitamin E, beta-carotene and vitamin C.

2) Selenium is a trace metal that is required for one of the body’s antioxidant

enzyme systems.

 

Page 7

 

b). What are “Free Radicals?”.

Free radicals are atoms or a group of atoms with an odd unpaired number of electrons

which can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. The free radicals

can cause damage to cellular components, such as DNA and the cell membrane.

c) Antioxidants and Cellular Damage

Thus, one can see antioxidants are intimately involved in the prevention of

cellular damage which is common in cancer, aging and a variety of chronic diseases.

Antioxidants are present in foods, as vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and polyphenols.

Many of the antioxidants are often identified by their distinctive colors:

3) The deep red of cherries and tomatoes

4) Orange of carrots

5) Yellow of corn, mangoes, saffron

6) Blue-purple of blueberries, blackberries and grapes.

d). Phytochemicals

Phytochemicals are plant chemicals that are neither vitamins or minerals and yet may

have health enhancing effects.

Many of the phytochemicals are antioxidants and include carotenoids and flavinoids.

1) Carotenoids – are the fat soluble colors in fruits and vegetables and are a family

of more than 600 antioxidants. Beta-carotene, which is found in carrots and other

yellow/orange vegetables and fruits, converts to vitamin A.

a) Alpha carotene is high in carrots and green beans,

b) Lycopene – high in tomatoes

c) Leutin and zeaxanthin – is high in spinach and dark green vegetables.

2) Lycopene – is a strong antioxidant and affords strong protection against certain

types of free radicals.

3) Co-Q10

Co-Q10 or ubiquinone is found in the mitochondria of the cells and has two

functions.

a) Co-Q10 transports electrons in energy production

b) Is also an antioxidant that protects against “free radicals”

The heart, brain and muscles which have high levels of mitochondria may be

most affected by decreased levels of Co-Q10.

e) Alpha-lipoic acid

Lipoic acid is a strong antioxidant and needed for mitochondrial function. Lipoic

acid is both water and fat soluble and protects lipids and nerve fiber lining against

oxidation. Lipoic acid has the remarkable ability to recycle several other

important antioxidants, including Vitamin C and E, glutathione and Co-Q10, as

well as itself. Lipoic acid is often called the “universal antioxidant”. Lipoic acid is

the only antioxidant that can boost the level of intracellular glutathione, an

important antioxidant in the cells.

These phytochemicals are found in everyday fruits and vegetables. Eating

spinach, kale and green leafy vegetables along with a cup or more of blueberries

everyday will double the antioxidant intake from foods.

f) Turmeric Seed

Turmeric seed, the basis for yellow mustard, is a powerful anti-inflammatory and

antioxidant. The tumeric seeds contain the polyphenol “cur cumin”.

VII. TRACE MINERALS

Essential trace minerals include iron, iodine, zinc, chromium, selenium, manganese,

molybdenum, and copper. Except for chromium, each of these is incorporated into enzymes or

hormones required in metabolism. Except for deficiencies of iron and zinc, micromineral

deficiencies are uncommon in industrialized countries (see Vitamin Deficiency, Dependency,

and Toxicity: see Mineral Deficiency and Toxicity).

Other minerals (e.g. aluminum, arsenic, boron, cobalt, fluoride, nickel, silicon, vanadium) have

not been proved essential for people. Fluoride, although not essential, helps prevent tooth

decay by forming a compound with Ca (CaF2), which stabilizes the mineral matrix in teeth.

All trace minerals are toxic at high levels, and some (arsenic, nickel, and chromium) may cause

cancer.

Minerals are important for basic health. The minerals are needed for the formation of bone and

blood, proper composition of body fluids, healthy nerve function, and cardiovascular function,

etc.

a) There are three basic classifications of minerals

1) Metallic minerals – are found in elemented form, such as sodium chloride and zinc

sulfate.

2) Chelated minerals – a metallic mineral is usually “chelated” with an amino acid. The

amino acid surrounds the metal like a “claw” and helps solubilize the metal and make

the mineral chelate more bioavailable or useful to the body.

Examples are magnesium aspartate and chromium piconolate. The chelated

minerals are about 40% more efficient in regards to absorption and assimilation into

the body metabolism.

3) Colloidal minerals – these are minerals that occur in nature in a colloid state as

minute particles. There is a major increase in surface area. This results in increased

solubility and bioavailability. Plant derived colloidal minerals are very useful with

increased solubility.

b) Boron

Boron is a trace mineral needed for healthy bones and teeth and the proper metabolism

of essential minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Boron deficiency also accentuates Vitamin D deficiency. It is required to convert Vitamin

D to the most active form in the kidneys.

Most people are not deficient in boron; however, the elderly often benefit with boron in 2

ng to 3 ng daily dose supplementation in their diet.

c) Chromium

Chromium is an important constituent of a natural substance called glucose tolerance

factor (GTF). The GTF is important in glucose metabolism, and low levels can result in

elevated blood sugar levels.

 

Page 9

 

Chromium is not absorbed well in the diet and most people may benefit from a

multinutrient supplement. Chromium as Cr +3 is an important trace mineral. However,

the Cr+6 ion is very toxic.

d) Iodine, iron, magnesiums, phosphorus, potassium, sodium

These are key macro-minerals essential to normal body function and are well known

mineral supplements.

Iron is very important for the production of red blood cells and an important mineral for

premenopausal women.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

a) L-Thianine

Thianine is an unique amino acid found in the leaves of green tea. The beneficial effects

of thiamine are:

b) Boron

An important trace mineral important in bone and muscle metabolism discussed above.

c) Rodiola – an adaptogen discussed above.

d) Whole Aloe

The gel from aloe vera leaf has been used for centuries as a topical remedy for skin

cuts, bruises, burns, and minor irritations. Taken internally, aloe juice is used as a

laxative and the active constituents are anthroquinone and glycosides. Aloe is helpful in

lowering the blood sugar level and supporting the immune system.

e) Choline is an essential B-vitamin nutrient. Choline is an amino precursor for the

neurotransmitter acetyl choline and important for brain development.

Choline is also an important constituent of cell membranes and is important in every

bodily system.

f) Inositol – plays an important role in the health of cell membranes and especially

of the cells in the brain.

If there is a deficiency of inositol, there may be eczema, hair loss, constipation, and

elevated cholesterol levels. The compound inositol is available from plant and animal

sources. Inositol can be manufactured in the body.

 

Page 10

 

IX. TOXIC METALS

a) What are Toxic metals?

Many metals have no known biological function and certain ones are capable of

disrupting important and essential physiological processes and can be called “toxic

metals”. Examples of “toxic” metals are cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic.

In very small amounts, some of these metals are important to support life. However, in

larger amounts, the same metals may become “toxic”.

For example, chromium as Cr +3 ion is an essential trace element important for

maintaining correct blood sugar levels. However as Cr+6 ion is “toxic” and a known

human lung carcinogen.

b) Are heavy metals the same as toxic metals?

The short answer is “no” as “heavy” refers to atomic weight.

The heavy metals cadmium , lead and mercury are certainly “toxic”. However,

molybdenum is a heavy metal but an essential metal. In contrast, beryllium is a light

metal but very toxic.

c) Testing for “toxic metal”.

The toxic effects of most metals is due to their ability to disrupt the function of essential

biological molecules, such as proteins, enzymes and DNA.

The listed common so-called toxic metals are:

Arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead and mercury.

The GBG preparations are tested for many toxic metals to make sure the preparations

are safe.

X. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREVENTIVE NUTRITION STRATEGIES

a) Several recommendations have been made for optimal health by Walter C. Willet (28).

1) Stay lean and active throughout life. (body weight should not increase by more than

10 pounds after age 21). Regular exercise is very important.

2) Eat abundant amounts of fruits and vegetables, at least 5 servings/day. Include

green leafy and orange colored vegetables daily.

3) Unrefined whole grains should be consumed.

The intake of refined simple sugars and refined flour and carbohydrates should be

very low and minimal.

4) Red meat should be eaten only occasionally.

5) Fish and poultry should be eaten in moderation as an alternative to red meat.

6) Animal fats and trans fatty acids from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils should be

avoided and not eaten.

a) Olive oil and other mono-unsaturated fats are healthy alternatives for fat.

b) Highly polyunsaturated fats, such as corn or soy-bean oil may also be healthy

alternatives

7) Deep fried fast foods and most commercially prepared foods contain trans-fatty acids

and should be avoided.

8) Adequate calcium intake is important for growing children, adolescents, and lactating

women. If dietary sources are low, supplements of calcium should be considered.

 

Page 11

 

High consumption of milk or dairy products is not likely to be necessary or beneficial

for middle aged and older adults.

9) Consumption of daily values of a multiple vitamin preparation containing folic acid

may provide a sensible nutritional safety net.

a) Definite evidence has shown that folic acid containing multivitamin supplements

during early weeks of pregnancy will prevent a large fraction of neural tube defects in

infants.

b) Women should also consider a multivitamin supplement containing folic acid and

iron.

c) Vitamin C and Vitamin E may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases,

cataracts, and other diseases, such as cancer.

10) Eating different types of cultural foods based around minimally processed foods from

plant sources will provide a healthy and interesting experience.

b) Fruits and Vegetable Rich Diet

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Agriculture,

and the National Academy of Sciences has implemented the “Five a Day” campaign.

They recommend that each person eat at least 5 servings each of fruits and vegetables

every day along with a variety of foods. However, eight to ten servings per day is best for

cancer prevention. Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of fiber, vitamins, minerals,

and phytochemicals. One should eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. A serving of fruit

or vegetable is equal to ½ cup of fruit, ¼ cup of dried fruit, ½ cup of cooked vegetables,

1 cup of raw vegetables or ¾ cup of fruit or vegetable juice.

One should eat a variety and quantity of vegetables and fruits in the daily diet. It is wise

to choose dark green, and deep yellow vegetables, as well as citrus fruits.

c) Other Dietary Substances

The daily human diet typically contains as many as 100,000 chemicals (e.g., coffee

contains 1000). Of these, only 300 are nutrients, only some of which are essential.

However, many nonnutrients in foods are useful. For example, food additives (e.g.,

preservatives, emulsifiers, antioxidants, stabilizers) improve the production and stability

of foods. Trace components (e.g., spices, flavors, odors, colors, phytochemicals, many

other natural products) improve appearance and taste.

Fiber, which occurs in various forms (e.g., cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, gums)

increases GI motility, prevents constipation, and helps control diverticular disease. Fiber

is thought to accelerate the elimination of cancer-causing substances produced by

bacteria in the large intestine. Epidemiologic evidence strongly supports an association

between colon cancer and low fiber intake and a beneficial effect of fiber in functional

bowel disorders, Crohn’s disease, obesity, and hemorrhoids. Soluble fiber (present in

fruits, vegetables, oats, barley, and legumes) reduces the postprandial increase in blood

glucose and insulin and can reduce cholesterol levels.

The typical Western diet is low in fiber (about 12 g/day) because of a high intake of

highly refined wheat flour and a low intake of fruits and vegetables. Increasing fiber

intake to about 30 g/day by consuming more vegetables, fruits, and high-fiber cereals is

generally recommended.
