 Some Very Important
Facts
Nutrients work together throughout the body.
Many nutrients CANNOT work properly or adequately if other co-factors are
missing or deficient.
Just as it would be impossible for a contractor to build a house with only nails,
or only wood, or only windows, or only pipes, or only wire no matter how
much of it he had.
The body often cannot make repairs in many areas & of many conditions with
1 supplement.
Drugs are designed to work alone NOT NUTRIENTS.
So don't try many products at a time. Use 1 at a time to see which works .
Why You Should Take Supplements In
The First Place
In a nutshell, our modern, post-industrial, polluted, toxin-laden lifestyle demands
more nutrients than food can often provide.

Chronic Stressors - Electronic Gadgets, work deadlines, etc.

Environmental Toxins
Processing, harvesting using modern fertilizers
Nutritionally depleted soil
Age-Related Declines In Nutrient Absorption
Exercise

iThrive Essentials : Magnesium Bisglycinate
unflavored powder
Highly absorbable form of magnesium.

The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate. This indicates
that magnesium has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called
“bisglycinate” (bis = two).

Magnesium is a key mineral & as well as a major electrolyte that

is responsible for 3,751 essential enzyme functions in the body.
What makes our magnesium product unique?
Very well absorbed in the body as compared to over the counter forms like magnesium
oxide, magnesium citrate, magnesium malate, etc.

The powdered form allows one to easily increase his/her intake of magnesium as
compared to popping 4-5 capsules a day.

Glycine is a highly therapeutic amino acid along with it being anti-inflammatory, anti-
stress, and pro-metabolic.

Glycine also helps increase sleep quality.

Doesn't lead to constipation.

What makes our magnesium product unique ?
Completely free of any additives & preservatives as compared to various unwanted
additives found in capsules.

We have more than 200 mg of elemental magnesium in the 2 grams serving of

magnesium bisglycinate as compared to around 120 mg in other brands.

Most brands out there use poor forms of magnesium like magnesium aspartate,
oxide, citrate, chloride ,etc.

filled hard capsules.

Vitamin D and Vitamin K work synergistically to support strong bones, immune

health, and heart health.
What makes our Vitamin D product Unique?

Vitamin D3, MK-7 form of vitamin K2, & MCT Oil all derived from wild-crafted,
natural sources & in optimal dosages.

Liquid-filled technology for enhanced absorption.

As vitamin D requires fat to be absorbed in the body, we specifically used an MCT

iThrive Essentials Premium Krill Oil (Omega 3)
Krill oil is an oil derived from a tiny shrimp-like marine crustacean called krill.

The omega-3-rich Krill oil contains two of the same essential fatty acids as fish oil
(eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA).
Why Krill Oil instead of Fish Oil ?

The EPA and DHA in krill oil are said to have very high bioavailability (rate of
absorption) compared to fish oil because much of the EPA and DHA in krill oil is
bound to phospholipids.

Compared to fish oil, krill oil contains higher amounts of astaxanthin carotenoid
pigment that gives krill and other crustaceans their characteristic red-pink color.

Astaxanthin is an unique fat-soluble antioxidant, which may help protect cells

from harmful free radicals which are not found in most fish oil supplements.
Why is Krill oil generally priced on a Higher side ?
Krill oil is derived from tiny crustaceans called Antarctic krill.

These sea creatures are a dietary staple for many animals, including whales, seals,
penguins and other birds.

To source this fish exclusively from Antarctic waters , high amount of processing &
harvesting is required.

With Krill oil , one doesn't have to be concerned about potential contaminants
and pollutants often found in fish oil and certain fish you might eat.

Krill are at the bottom of the food chain, they are virtually free from pollution
found in fish and fish oil.
Why our Krill Oil product Stand out ?

Placed at an optimal price range.

750 mg of Krill Oil in one serving which is more than enough amount in one capsule.

It's pure, with no additives except natural mixed tocopherol (Vitamin E) to protect
the Krill oil from going rancid.

We have completed microbial analysis for this product

along with heavy metal testing.
