A typical human frame is comprised
of 206 bones.Bones are living tissues that provide structural
support for muscles, protect vital organs, and store the calcium
essential for bone density and strength.To keep bones strong,
the body is continually breaking down old bone and replacing
it with new bone tissue. Until the age of about 30, you build
and store bone efficiently. Then, as part of the natural aging
process, bones begin to break down faster than new bone can be
formed.The body needs calcium to support functions including
development and reparation of bones and teeth, nerve function,
muscle contraction, blood clotting, and support of proper function
of the heart. The National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests that
individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle, adequate calcium consumption,
and weight-bearing exercise in order to support the strengthening
of the body's bones. In order for calcium to be absorbed efficiently
by your body, it needs other mineral co-factors.
Youngevity's ® Osteo
fx Plus ™ was formulated to support healthy bones and
joints, Osteo fx Plus ™ meets the U.S. daily requirements
for people over age 50 with 1,200 mg of calcium, and contains
the co-factors necessary to help your body better absorb and
retain calcium. Vitamin D and Glucosamine; which are natural
compounds found in healthy cartilage, also promote absorption,
and support optimal health and well-being.
Another important co-factor in
Osteo fx Plus ™ is the 300 mg of magnesium, which is an
essential mineral involved in more than 300 systems in the human
body. Magnesium is found mostly in green leafy vegetables, but
the USDA says we aren't eating enough fruits and vegetables in
our diet!The refined foods, which make up most of our diet, generally
have the lowest magnesium and overall nutritional content. Osteo
fx Plus ™ is the answer to this deficit- it's never too
late to commit to bone and joint health with a nutritional step
in the right direction!

Antioxidant-boosting CocoGevity
™ is comprised of a powerful hybrid of the world's most
exotic ingredients and luscious fruits, such as Açai,
Mangosteen and Wolfberry. The ingredients are intended to provide
potent antioxidants that are bioavailable and highly sought after
for their nutritious, health-promoting benefits.
CocoGevity ™ boasts an indulgent
ingredient ("the food of the Gods") that increases
it's naturally cocolicious flavor Chocolate! Cocogen Extract
is a natural extract of the cocoa bean. Chocolate has gained
its reputation for having significant amounts of naturally occurring
flavonoids, with an antioxidant count twice as high as red wine
and three times higher than green tea. Not surprisingly, for
90% of its history, Chocolate has been consumed in liquid form.
Another key ingredient is Açai,
the fruit of a palm tree ("The Tree of Life") that
grows in the rainforests of the Amazon, and is known to have
ten times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times
the anthocyanins (polyphenols that give fruits and vegetables
their deep color and are high in antioxidant value) of red wine.Antioxidants,
which include the vitamins C and E that are found in theAçaí
fruit, help to neutralize oxygen-free radicals.Açaí
also has a high concentration of Omega 6 and Omega 9 fatty acids,
which help fight the buildup of LDL, or bad cholesterol. Açaí
promotes cardiovascular and digestive health and contains a large
range of vitamins and nutrients including Vitamins B1, B2, B3,C,
E, Potassium, Zinc, Magnesium and Phosphorus.
Mangosteen is also recognized
for the incredibly potent antioxidant power of its phytonutrient
xanthones. Xanthones are the most highly active antioxidants
found in the mangosteen fruit and come predominately from the
rind or outer shell portion of the fruit. Xanthones are a biological
class of phytonutrients that are very stable and have been found
to exhibit strong antioxidantactivity. Mangosteen has over 40
naturally occurring xanthones!
