What is FYI?
FYI was formulated to provide the body
with the building blocks needed to rebuild and support healthy
cartilage and connective tissue, as well as to control and prevent
inflammation throughout the body. The synergistically balanced
whole food, herbal, and enzyme blend in FYI consists of cartilage
building proteins and mucopolysaccharides from chicken collagen
type 2, systemic enzymes, and specific whole foods and herbs
chosen for their proven anti-inflammatory abilities. Not only may
the nutrients in FYI help to control and prevent inflammation,
they have no side effects whatsoever and may, oftentimes, prevent
the occurrence of unwanted side effects caused by prescription
medications. These specially selected whole foods and herbs in FYI
contain powerful antibacterial and antiviral properties. FYI is
carefully blended using the PotenZyme process to enhance
absorption and improve assimilation.
Arthritis and Inflammation
According to the American
Arthritis Society, the term arthritis refers to more than one
hundred separate conditions. More than 40 million Americans (one
in six) have inflammatory conditions and by the year 2020 the
Center for Disease Control and Prevention projects that the
prevalence of arthritis will increase to 60 million Americans
(almost 20% of the population). Arthritis is the number one cause
of disability in America with women being affected more than men.
Gout, an inflammatory disease that causes sudden and severe
attacks of pain, tenderness, and swelling in joints affects more
than one million Americans. The traditional treatment for
arthritis involves the use of pain killers such as NSAIDs (non
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin, Motrin,
Feldene, Naprosyn, or COX-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex®. These
medications may temporarily help to relieve the symptoms of pain
but do nothing to eliminate or combat the disease itself. In fact,
studies show that continual use of NSAIDs and prescription
medications can actually accelerate the deterioration of the
joints and worsen arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.
The following conditions involve high levels of
inflammation:
Back Pain
Sports Injuries
Fibromyalgia
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Bursitis
Scleroderma
Asthma
Allergies
Lupus
Psoriasis
Crohns' and Colitis
What's In FYI? Systemic Enzyme Blend:
Protease Blend - a blend of protein
digesting enzymes including 5 different proteases which
distinguish themselves for their ability to function in a wide
rang of pH environments and temperature conditions. These enzymes
have shown to posses valuable therapeutic actions as anti -
inflammatory agents.
Bromelain
- a powerful protein digesting enzyme from pineapple
contains valuable anti-inflammatory and therapeutic agents.
Bromelain is helpful in reducing the pain, swelling, and
tenderness associated with injury.
Papain - is a well balanced mixture of
protein digesting enzymes isolated from Papaya. Papain is valuable
as an anti-inflammatory agent as well as the ability to reduce the
tissue irritation and joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
Lipase - a potent fat
digesting enzyme helpful for chronic inflammatory conditions and
joint pain and swelling.
Amylase
- a carbohydrate digesting enzyme may be beneficial for
treating joint immobility.
Cellulase
- an enzyme that breaks down plant fiber is known for
its use in alleviating chronic pain syndromes.
Chicken Collagen Type II - contains
anti-inflammatory properties and has been clinically demonstrated
to decrease pain and discomfort stemming from joint disorders. The
compounds inherent in Chicken Collagen Type II provide the
structural support of healthy joints by promoting new cartilage
synthesis and by reducing oxidative damage to the joints. Chicken
Collagen Type II contains naturally occurring chondroiton and
glucosamine sulfates which help to bring water, shape, and
cushioning back to the cartilage.
Wild
Oregano Concentrate - contains thirty-one known
anti-inflammatories, twenty-eight antioxidants and four known
potent COX-2 inhibitors. With its thirty - one
anti-inflammatories, oregano has more of these compounds than any
other herb in the USDA Phytochemical database.
Poten-Zyme Ginger Extract - Ginger has
multiple constituents that inhibit COX-2 inflammation. It balances
production of inflammatory prostaglandins PGE3 and PG12. Ginger's
constituents safely restore healthy platelet function by
inhibiting the formation of an eicosanoid group called
thromboxanes (one of the main functions of aspirin.) Ginger
reduces prostaglandins that sensitize pain receptors at nerve
endings, thereby demonstrating powerful analgesic (or pain
reducing) effects. Ginger has 180 times more protein - digesting
enzymes than papaya. Ginger is commonly used as a natural
treatment for ulcers.
Pote-Zyme Cat's
Claw Extract - has been extensively used by Peruvian
Ashaninka Indians to treat a wide range of illnesses including
asthma, urinary tract inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease,
arthritis, rheumatism, and bone pain. Cat's Claw contains potent
phytochemicals called Quinovic Acid Glycosides. Studies indicate
that some of it's constituents can inhibit inflammation from 46%
to 69% in various in - vivo and in - vitro tests.
Poten-Zyme Turmeric Extract - an
Indian spice that demonstrates powerful anti-inflammatory
properties and is a potent antioxidant. It is widely used in
traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for the stimulation of
beneficial liver action to relieve digestive inflammation.
Poten-Zyme Alfalfa Extract -
Provides over 90 biologically active minerals as well as eight
unique enzymes. Alfalfa helps to alkalize the body which may
reduce acidic deposits associated with inflammatory conditions.
The alfalfa contained in FYI is a full spectrum extract of the
alfalfa leaf and is therefore safe for use by those with
autoimmune conditions.
Rhododendron
Caucasicum Extract - known as the snow rose grows high
in the Caucasian mountains of the Republic of Georgia. The smaller
antioxidant molecules found in Rhododendron extract showed higher
antioxidant values, compared to extracts containing OPCs such as
pycnogenol and grape seed extract. The cardio - protective
properties of Rhododendron caucasicum includes elimination of
capillary fragility and hemorrhoid bleeding, as well as regulating
blood pressure. Rhododendron has proven to be effective in
ameliorating the symptoms associated with gout. In a clinical
trial of over 170 volunteers with sever gout, the extract proved
effective in just a few hours by relieving the painful symptoms
associated with gout.
Laminaria and
Ulva Extract - edible brown and green sea vegetables
which contain large amounts of protein, vitamins, and
polysaccharides. These sea vegetables contain Glucuronic Acid
which is an important component of chondroitin sulfate. They also
contain appreciable amounts of proline and ascorbic acid required
for collagen synthesis.
Bayberry Bark
Extract - contains large amounts of myricetin, a potent
antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. Myricetin is a COX-1, COX-2 and
5-LOX inhibitor. It has been used for centuries for the treatment
of infections such as dysentery and was reported to be an
effective fever reducer.
Phytosterols
- have been shown to modulate the immune response in
autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and prevent
damage caused by inflammation. Plant sterols have been shown to
positively affect allergic rhinitis, sinusitis and asthma.
The Poten-Zyme Process
The Poten-Zyme process
(Poten-tiation by enzymatic activation) is an exclusive natural
process of lacto-fermentation and enzymatic pre-digestion using 14
strains of beneficial microorganisms to extract the precious
phytochemicals contained in FYI. Many extraction processes isolate
one or two important compounds at the expense of others. With
Poten-Zyme the user gets the benefits of all of the naturally
occurring beneficial compounds contained within each plant. The
Poten-Zyme process creates and liberates valuable compounds within
the herbs, including enzymes, antioxidants, polysaccharides,
phytosterols and many others.
The UltraZorbe Caplet Delivery System
The UltraZorbe
caplet delivery system (Ultra-absorption) is a revolutionary
technology whereby all nutrients and ingredients in FYI retain
their maximum nutritive content, viability, and "live" food and
herbal properties. The UltraZorbe caplet delivery system
accomplishes this without the use of heat, animal products,
traditional binders, fillers, or excipients. UltraZorbe caplets
are designed to provide rapid disintegration and dissolution, and
thus deliver the desired nutrients in the most efficient and
effective time frame possible.
