Discover wellness with Vitamark, the makers of
Limu Plus®. You’ve heard about the nutritional benefits of
kelp—but did you know how difficult it is, thanks to environmental
pollution, to find a pure, pristine source? We discovered it in the
untouched Pacific paradise of Tonga, the source of our superb Limu
Moui extract. Then we added advanced Russian adaptogens, the
extraordinary performance-enhancing plants uncovered by years of
scientific research.
The result is Limu Plus®, a wellness
breakthough, the best of nature and science combined. Add one or two
ounces of Limu Plus® to your daily diet and discover wellness for
yourself.

Fucoidan
One of nature’s health secrets has been
discovered in the waters off the coast of the Pacific island of
Tonga. In this lush tropical paradise, untouched by industry and
unspoiled by pollution, natives have known the energizing benefits
of the sea plant they call Limu Moui.* But Limu Moui is no ordinary
plant. In addition to being packed with vitamins, minerals and other
life-giving substances that have made kelp such a health food
staple, Limu Moui is particularly rich in the polysaccharide
fucoidan. Fucoidan is the primary active phytochemical in this
“miracle sea plant” and is reported to be the subject of more
than 600 scientific studies.
According to research, this complex carbohydrate
may lend extraordinary support to the body’s immune functions.
Fucoidan is also said to:
- Assist with joints*
- Improve digestion*
- Offer liver support*
|
- Improve blood function*
- Improve stomach function*
- Enhance skin and cellular growth*
|

Advanced Russian Adaptogens
The strength of Limu Plus® does not stop at
fucoidan. This revolutionary elixir also contains advanced Russian
adaptogens. Adaptogens are a rare class of plant first identified by
Russian scientists. In the mid-1950s, the Russian government
commissioned its Academy of Sciences to create a product to enhance
human performance.
The product had to accomplish three objectives:
- Be safe and non-toxic to the body
- Support cellular health
- Equip the body to adapt to stressors
|
For 40 years, more than 1200 scientists were
involved in this unprecedented, confidential project that led to
groundbreaking discoveries and thousands of studies. A unique group
of plants referred to as “adaptogens” were discovered growing in
an area of eastern Russia called the Primorye. The Discovery Channel
produced
a special on the total devastation created by a meteor in 1908 in
the same area of the Primorye Forest to which adaptogens are native.
After the devastation, certain plants learned to cope with extreme
temperature variations, radiation exposure, altitude variances, sea
pressure, toxic exposure and stresses of drought and water
variances. These “adaptable” plants—adaptogens—grew back to
create one of the most botanically active regions in the world.
According to researchers, adaptogens help
restore the body’s overall capacity for exertion and resistance to
stress.* In other words, adaptogens help the body adapt to internal
and external environmental stressors. In a society where, according
to the American Medical Association, more than 80 percent of health
challenges may be related to stressors, the adaptogens in Limu Plus®
can be your answer for alleviating stress.*
With time and clinical trials, some 12
adaptogenic plants were identified as the most active. Vitamark uses
a co-extraction, processed blend of six of the most active
adaptogens in Limu Plus®.
This adaptogen blend helps support:
- Better focus*
- Mental energy*
- Stamina*
- Enhanced sleep*
- Less toxicity*
|
- Better attention to detail*
- Mood improvement*
- Improvement in the aging process*
- Antioxidant capability*
- Cellular balance*

Superior Absorption: Aloe Vera &
GreenTea
To be effective, a health beverage
must be readily absorbed by the body. One of the best “conductive
vehicles” to increase effectiveness in the body is aloe vera. The
International Aloe Science Council (IASC) points out the long,
illustrious history of the semi-tropical plant called aloe vera. It
dates from ancient antiquity and has been mentioned throughout
history for its beauty-enhancing, health and medicinal properties.*
Aloe vera contains more than 70 essential ingredients and more than
200 biologically active compounds. These include vitamins, minerals,
amino acids, enzymes, proteins, polysaccharides (called the master
molecule) and biological stimulators.
A recent study co-sponsored by the
Aloe Institute and the International Aloe Science Council found that
total absorption of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins
significantly increased and elevated over a 24-hour period when
taken in combination with aloe vera compared with vitamin
supplements taken alone. Interestingly, there is no other known
substance that will increase bioavailability of both water and
fat-soluble vitamins. And because aloe speeds the absorption of
nutrients in the digestive tract, people can experience benefits
from Limu Plus® more readily.
Vitamark’s ACTIValoe™ offers
the guarantee of biological activity and effective ingredients.
ACTIValoe™ is grown in soils not tainted with insecticides and
harmful fertilizers. The farms are located in central Mexico to
protect the plants from any chance of being impacted by cold
weather. ACTIValoe™ is standardized to be no less than 10% by
weight a polysaccharide, the purity and quality is verified by
scientific analysis, and it is certified by the International Aloe
Science Council. This certification is like the “Good
Housekeeping” seal of approval for aloe vera products.
Along with ACTIValoe™, Vitamark
adds Green Tea and Taheebo Tea—some of nature’s strongest
antioxidants—to Limu Plus®. These two ingredients increase the
antioxidant properties of Limu Plus® while insuring the
bioavailability of nutrients.

Other Life-Giving Substances
In addition to fucoidan, Limu Moui is packed
with other life-giving substances. These include:
Amino acids,
the body’s “building blocks.” Limu Moui provides essential
amino acids the body cannot create by itself.*
Glycoprotiens,
which help the body defend itself.*
Essential fatty
acids, which are the key to eye and brain health, normal
mental functioning and normal blood sugar ranges.*
Glyconutrients,
also known as “sweet nutrients” because they are composed of
sugars (monosaccharides). Eight glyconutrients are classified as
essential because the body does not readily produce them. In other
words, you must get these nutrients from dietary sources.
Glyconutrients are part of the structure of every cell in the body
and are critical to life itself. They are necessary for cellular
communication and have become a focus in the scientific community
for their role in delivering messages throughout the body.
Thousands of peer-reviewed papers document the importance of
glyconutrients in your diet. In fact, a major medical textbook,
Harper’s Biochemistry, was revised to include the Nobel
Prize-winning category of glyconutrients. Seaweed contains five of
these vital glyconutrients: mannose, glucose, galactose, xylose
and fucose.*
Powerful
antioxidant polyphenols, which address heavy metals,
support healthy hair, nails and skin, ease digestive ability and
address the aging process.*
Powerful colloidal
minerals. These are easily absorbed into the body and help
conduction of other nutrients. Colloidal minerals also assist with
toxin removal.*
Plant enzymes,
which assist literally every bodily function since vitamins,
minerals and hormones cannot work without their support. Enzymes
also help to build our bodies and aid in the digestion and
absorption of nutrients.*
Vitamins and other
nutrients that provide and encourage immune function.*

'Alarming' Rise in Teen ER Visits for Misuse of ADHD Drugs
More 12- to 17-year-olds went to hospital emergency rooms for problems
related to use of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drugs in 2004
than people ages 18 to 24, according to research from the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Data from SAMHSA's Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) showed that there were
about 8,000 ER visits for drugs like Ritalin, Concerta, and Adderal in 2004.
Among those legally prescribed the drugs, ER visits occurred at the rate of 1.6
per 100,000 population among 12- to 17-year-olds and 0.4 per 100,000 among those
ages 18 to 24. Among nonmedical users of the drugs, the rates were 1.7 visits
per 100,000 population among those ages 12 to 17 and 1.0 per 100,000 among 18-
to 24-year-olds.
Among ER patients using ADHD drugs nonmedically, 21 percent took the drug
alone, 20 percent used it with alcohol, 26 percent used it with an illicit drug,
and 57 percent used it in combination with other pharmaceuticals.
"These findings suggest an alarming level of nonmedical use that could
have life-threatening consequences, such as heart attack or stroke," said
Assistant Surgeon General Eric Broderick, D.D.S., M.P.H., SAMHSA's acting deputy
administrator. "Parents need to help break this dangerous pattern of
behavior by carefully monitoring their child's use of ADHD medication."
Prescription Painkillers Becoming More Popular than Marijuana
Marijuana has long been the most popular illicit drug in the U.S., but
federal researchers say that there are now more new recreational users of
prescription painkillers than new pot smokers.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
reported Oct. 27 that a new study, "Misuse of Prescription Drugs: Data from
the 2002, 2003 and 2004 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health," found
that misuse of prescription drugs has become the second-biggest illicit-drug
problem behind marijuana use.
The study estimated that about 2.7 million people ages 12 and older first
misused prescription drugs each year, compared to an estimated 2.1 million new
users of marijuana. Nonmedical use of prescription drugs was highest among 18-
to 25-year-olds, followed by 12- to 17-year-olds.
Drugs like hydrocodone, including Vicodin, were especially popular, as were
oxycodone-based drugs like OcyContin and Percocet.
"While marijuana continues to be the most commonly used illicit drug,
the misuse of prescription drugs is clearly a growing national concern that
requires action from multiple segments of our society," said Assistant
Surgeon General Eric Broderick, SAMHSA's acting deputy administrator.
"We know that 70 to 80 percent of those 12 years or older said they got
their drugs from a friend or relative and, very likely, those came from the
family medicine cabinet. Only 4.3 percent got the pain relievers from a drug
dealer or other stranger, and only 0.8 percent reported buying the drug on the
Internet. Parents and other caregivers should store their prescription drugs
carefully and dispose of any unused drugs before they can fall into the wrong
hands."
