FIT Food Lite Vegan ~ 100% Vegan and 100% Gluten-Free

0 comments Posted by G.I.F.T. at 10:56 AM

FIT Food Lite Vegan is a delicious functional food powder that is free of soy, dairy, and gluten. The formula contains 40% less sugar than fitfood Rice and is not fructose sweetened. its 17 grams of protein per serving are derived from XYMOGEN's proprietary VegaPro, a rice/pea protein blend with several additional amino acids that further enhance and maintain lean body mass. Among the ingredients in the heart-healthy proprietary fiber blend is a prebiotic for gastrointestinal support.

Supports:
* Healthy Body Composition
FitNFabulousLife.com
* Immune Health
* Cardiovascular Health
* Healthy Blood Insulin/Glucose Levels
* Gastrointestinal Health
* Provides Foundation Macro-Nutrition

The non-GMO, highly digestible pea protein isolate is naturally obtained by simple water extraction, keeping all the nutritional qualities intact. Its 90% protein content features a well-balanced amino acid profile, including a high content lysine, arginine, and branched-chain amino acids. Lysine is of particular interest in weight control because it helps maintain lean body mass. Arginine is essential to weight control for its ability to help increase muscle mass and reduce body fat. Pea protein has the highest lysine concentration (7.2%) of all vegetable-based proteins and the highest arginine concentration (8.7%) among all commercially available proteins. The combination of pea protein and rice protein achieves an Amino Score of 100%.

I'm in-love this this product!!! It tastes great, it's made with high quality ingredients, and of course, it's 100% Vegan and 100% Gluten-Free!!! HOORAYYY!! :)

This is a product that I offer to the clients I Coach. If you're interested in knowing more, or are wanting to order, email me at FitNFabulousVegan@Yahoo.com

Cheers!!

XYMOGEN~ My new EXCITING supplement!!

0 comments Posted by G.I.F.T. at 11:32 AM

As we age, it becomes easier to gain weight and harder to maintain muscle. Thus, our waistlines tends to fatten, our muscles weaken, and the physical tasks that once seemed trivial now seem tiring. The deterioration of mitochondria, the microscopic power plants within every cell responsible for converting food into biochemical fuel, has been implicated as a major cause. The loss of mitochondrial efficiency and number over time deprives us of living a longer, healthier life. It may come to no surprise, therefore, that mitochondrial biogenesis, the natural process in which your cells build new mitochondria, has been suggested hold the key to delay the deteriorations in appearance and performance, and even aging.

Representing a remarkable ~ 10% of body weight, mitochondria produce more than 95% of your body's energy. The more of these "fuel stations" our cells contain, the more calories you can burn, leaving less fat to contribute to diabetes or obesity, for instance. Mitochondria are produced via mitochondria biogenesis, the stimulation of which can help delay aging and maintain health as we age.

Mitochondrial biogenesis is a complicated process involving more than 1,000 genes and producing and estimated 20% of the cellular protein in the body. While caloric restriction and exercise potently activate molecular "switches" controlling mitochondrial biogenesis, a simpler solution comes in the form of the Mitochondrial Renewal Kit containing neutraceuticals shown to activate the very same switches.

XYMOGEN Mitochondrial Renewal Kit: "Three Degrees" of Restoration

1st Degree: Nitric Oxide (NO) is to your heart and blood vessels what your favorite couch is to your legs and feet. NO takes a load off of your heart and blood vessels by relaxing the latter (known as vasodilation), thereby easing the strain placed on the former (blood flows more easily, so your heart doesn't need to pump as hard). Among sundry other roles, NO directly activates the "master regulator" of mitochondrial biogenesis and function and metabolic fitness known as PGC-1a.

2nd Degree: Found in red wine and studied by respected research organizations including Salk Institute, resveratrol is one of the most promising anti-aging nutraceuticals to date. Labeled as an "exercise mimetic", resveratrol activates SIRT1, a molecular "switch" that governs the activation of PGC-1a. Exercise also activates this pathway; hence the aforementioned label.

3rd Degree: a-lipoic acid (ALA) is considered a "king" among antioxidants. Capable of fending off damaging free radicals in a variety of cellular environments, ALA also protects the levels of other antioxidants such as vitamins E and C. In addition, ALA stimulates a molecular switch known as AMPK in the body (which in turns activates PGC-1a), while inhibiting another version of AMPK located in the brain. The end result is to increase mitochondrial biogenesis (via body AMPK) while enhancing appetite control and weight management (brain AMPK).

Benefits of XYMOGEN Mitochondrial Renewal Kit:
* Increased mitochondrial biogenesis
* Increased metabolic (calorie-burning) rate
* Improved insulin sensitivity and action
* Improved glucose disposal
* Increased Nitric Oxide (NO) production
* Improved cardiovascular and endothelial (blood vessel) function
* Improve appetite control
* Reduced fat mass
* Increased muscle mass
* Improved exercise tolerance and performance
* Improved antioxidant status and resistance to oxidative stress

A month supply is $150. This is NOT a vitamin replacement.
