Meme Groseth(MG), Diamond Affiliate and health show hostess, and Vitamark Vice President, Tom Mitcham(TM) discuss specific bone building nutrients:

MG: Are you there Tommy?

TM: I sure am Meme, and I can't wait to give that free product. Tonight's free product is our GluCare product--certainly a product that I hope everyone on this call is familiar with. GluCare helps the body maintain healthy blood sugar levels when combined with healthy diet and regular exercise.* Its no secret that your body uses glucose(a blood sugar)to create energy and that a glucose imbalance can lead to the breakdown of essential body functions.

MG: Thats why Im really excited about the blood sugar stabilizing and energy enhancing characteristics of Glucare* free product as should everyone on this call be especially if you are on the 100BP AutoShip because the GluCare is the May free AutoShip product. This amazing product has many benefits:
It combines the power of Chromium GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor), Vitamin B12, the trace minerals zinc and vanadium, the major mineral magnesium, the amino acids L-carnitine and L-glutamic acid and the herbals Caucasian Blueberries, Glucomannan and Gymnena Sylvestre ( which tests shows enhanced the health of the pancreas which is vital to blood sugar stabilization).*

TM: Sounds like Glucare is really formulated to target healthy blood sugar levels.* Now to give that free GluCare to people who might need it!* Don't forget to call out your name before answering. Now for the first question:

TESTIMONIALS

MG: Thanks for sharing. Now for that information on Calcium.

TM: How many times have some of us (perhaps trying to hold on to a fleeting youth) foolishly tried to perform a physical fete that we shouldnt. Like playing tag football or rollerblading with children or grandchildren? And it is fun until we fall, break some little or big bone and soon discover that broken bones ar no fun at all! They bring a great deal of pain and inconvenience simple things like getting dressed become quite challenging. And broken bones take many weeks, sometimes months to heal. What we want to address tonight is what we can do to help broken bones heal faster and better.*

MG: Ive been guilty of that before. And while I havent suffered any broken bones yet I do know how difficult it is supposed to be for even young bones, much less (perhaps much more would be more appropriate) old bones to heal. And, just in case my day is coming, I want to be prepared!

TM: And, prepared you shall be, Meme. First it would be a good idea to understand how the skeletal system functions.
The skeletal system serves as more than just a frame for your body. Your bones are busy with a process called remodeling (a self-renewing of cells and other tissues).Only the outer shell of the bones is hard being made up of mainly of calcium and phosphorous. This bone shell serves as the body's storehouse for calcium, a mineral vital for regulating many body systems.*

MG: I understand the spongy interior bone tissue is called the matrix and it contains blood vessels, several types of cells and marrow, which produces both red and white blood cells.

TM: Right you are, Meme; and this complicated system uses energy to sustain the sophisticated growth dynamics. We need the right fuel at all times, according to Susan Brown, PhD, CNS, director of the Osteoporosis Education Project (www.betterbones.com) in East Syracuse, New York, as reported Step 1: Maximize Nutrient Intake in the Better Bones Program.* So, it shouldnt be surprising that the bones need extra fuel when making repairs. And what nutrients are important according to betterbones.com? Repairing broken bones may require you to get at least 20 grams of protein to increase your general sense of well-being and aid the healing processes.*

MG: Well, we can get 18 grams of protein from our Appetizer Diet shakes.

TM: We, surely can Meme; and the shakes would certainly help get the extra calories, some suggest, while your metabolism is in overdrive during the repair process.* Thats rightBone repairing time is not the time to diet.

MG: Well, Tommy what was suggested in addition to the protein as far as powerhouse nutrients for the bone repair process?

TM: The website focused on the importance of several nutrients:

- Calcium, of course, is a must. Most experts recommend between 1000 to 1200 mgs a day for a healthy adultmaybe up to 1500 mgs during the healing period.* You can also eat calcium-containing foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, molasses, salmon, oysters, sardines with the bones, broccoli and unsweetened cultured yogurt.

- Vitamin D is an important ingredient in maximizing calcium absorption.

- Magnesium is especially critical for mending bone injuries.* It's critical to proper calcium metabolism and bone formation, and some experts consider magnesium as important as calcium.* Some experts prescribe 400 mg to 600 mg daily. Your physician will probably prescribe magnesium in conjunction with calcium.

Other important nutrients are potassium, phosphorous, zinc and boron (called the bone-knitter).* These first 7 nutrients (Calcium, Vit D, Magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and boron) are found in our Coral Calcium product.*

MG: I understand that in addition to these nutrients, your body continues to need vitamins A, C, Folic Acid, B-6, B-12 and a number of micronutrients and trace minerals such as copper, manganese and silica.* A good high-potency multivitamin/mineral like Primalux, VitaOne or Vita-Che would be essential to get these nutrients.* Some experts recommend soy foods (Vitamark has SuperSoy) as beneficial to bone health.* Also, essential fatty acids found in walnuts, almonds, flaxseeds and fish(or EPAs and DHAs like are found in Omega III) are helpful.*

TM: And, in addition to the nutrients an alkaline environment for the body is also important according to betterbones.com which dedicates an entire section to its site which is called Alkaline for Life and it is also Step 4: Develop an Alkaline Diet in the Better Bones Program.* It points out that the bodys internal environment works best at a slightly alkaline pH of just above 7.* It goes on to state: Our enzymatic, immunologic, and repair mechanisms all work better in an alkaline environment. * Calcium is a major alkalizing mineral which makes it even more important to the bone healing process.*

MG: I understand that betterbones.com also recommends better digestive health as Step 3: Build Digestive Strength in the Better bones Program for healthier bones, too.

TM: They sure do, they emphasize that strong digestion is the hub of good health.* In their steps for dealing with gas and bloating and other indicators of poor digestion, they point out the possibility of needing digestive enzymes (like Super Vi-Gest), proper eating and drinking habits and certain eating awareness techniques to accomplish complete digestion. We also know how important the proper bacterial (like those found in Probiotics) environment is to the gut for digestive purposes and to enhance the immunological response necessary for the body to efficiently repair itself.*

Mg: Tommy, weve briefly touched on 3 of the 9 steps in the Better Bones program as they relate to repair of the bones.

TM: Thats right Meme, we emphasized what the steps were and gave helpful product suggestions to help facilitate them.* We started with Step 1: Maximize Nutrient Intake, Step 4: Develop an Alkaline Diet and Step 3: Build Digestive Strength. The other steps are: Step 2: Take Less Anti-Nutrients this step talks about how excess meat protein (keep to 50-60 g), caffeine (avoid amts in excess of 300 mgs), sugar, salt (keep below 2000 mg), tobacco, fat( consume less than 50 g), alcohol, carbonated beverages and junk foods deplete the bones of valuable nutrients. Step 5: Exercise to Bone Health emphasizes how appropriate the use it or lose it principal is to bone health. Step 6: Promote Endocrine Health emphasizes the health of the endocrine system is impacted greatly by stress (the ingredients in Limu Plus help relieve stress).* Step 7: Enhance Immunity emphasizes how a healthy immune system is essential to bone health (several Vitamark products address immunity: VitaMune, Tramane, Limu Plus and Cold & Flu Relief to name a few). Steps 8 and 9 are self-explanatory and are entitled Use Osteoporosis Medications as Necessary and Test the Success of your Bone-Strengthening Program respectively.

MG: Thanks for this information tonight. The summary of the Better Bones Program certainly reinforced my reasons for making Coral Calcium and several other Vitamark products a part of my daily health regimen. Well it's time to say goodnight, Tommy.

TM: Before we go, I'd like to invite any of you that have been inspired to share your testimonial, to do so at this time.
