Convenient and natural way to manage healthy blood pressure and cholesterol**
Lignan-rich Nordic flax seed powder for optimal health benefits
Excellent source of potassium - 5 times the amount of other supplements!
Convenient - just add to your favorite foods or beverages
Triple Blend of Plant Sterols, Potassium and Calcium
Lifes-Trio provides the foundation you need for supporting heart, digestion, bone and cellular immune health. Clinical research shows that adding the patented blend of ingredients in Lifes-Trio to the foods you eat every day can significantly improve your heart health. And that is just one of its many benefits!
Adding Lifes-Trio is a great way to get valued nutrients into your everyday diet without having to swallow additional tablets or capsules.* Just once a day, mix the crushed flax seed powder fortified with heart-healthy minerals and plant sterols into your favorite foods or beverages.
The plant sterols in Lifes-Trio steal the"parking spaces" in the intestines that would otherwise be taken by cholesterol, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. Just one serving of Lifes-Trio supplies 1.8 g of plant sterols.
Potassium supports the bodys nerve-signaling ability, fights free-radical damage inside arteries and blood vessels, and helps the body balance sodium levels and appears to support healthy blood pressure levels already within normal limits.* Emerging research shows that calcium may support blood pressure levels, and bind to bile acids that carry cholesterol through the body, helping excrete it through the digestive system.*
In tablet or capsule supplement form, potassium is only available in 100mg amounts or less. This is because of gastric concerns about effects of those forms of potassium in the stomach. Lifes-Trio, because it provides potassium in a flax seed powder, contains 500mg of potassium per serving. Potassium is an important mineral nutrient for supporting blood pressure levels already within normal limits.*
How it Works:
Lifes-Trio provides a convenient and useful way to manage healthy blood pressure and cholesterol, with 500mg of potassium per serving, and support digestion, bone, and cellular immune health.** It combines a triple blend of plant sterols, potassium, and calcium in a ground flax powder base and provides an easy way to get nutrients that may be otherwise missing from your diet.
In a randomized, double blind placebo-controlled clinical trial, the ingredients in Lifes-Trio supported healthy cholesterol levels by 8% versus 3% for the placebo group.**1
Plant Sterols: Because of their structural similarity to cholesterol, plant sterols are able to take up the sites in the intestines where cholesterol would otherwise be absorbed. The cholesterol can then be more easily excreted by the body, carried by the fiber content of the flax powder.1,2
Flax seed powder: Lignans from flax seed powder can help support healthy cholesterol levels. In one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, SDG (secoisolariciresinol diglucoside) lignans supported healthy total and LDL cholesterol levels by 22% and 24% respectively. 3
The fiber content of flax seed powder provides gentle digestive support. Flax seed powder can also help balance estrogen levels throughout the body, supporting breast and prostate health, and healthy cell development. Additionally, along with the calcium in the formula, flax seed lignans may help support bone health.*4-8
Potassium helps balance sodium levels in the body and supports healthy blood pressure already within the normal range. Because it is in a matrix of flax seed powder, Lifes-Trio is able to provide 500mg of potassium ? 5 times the amount available in tablet or capsule forms.9,10
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is essential for proper bone remineralization. Research suggests that calcium may help support cholesterol and blood pressure levels as well.**11
