Are Symmetry Products FDA Approved?
The short answer is: No, there is no such thing. No nutritional product or food supplement is FDA approved. The FDA doesn't do that. However, in a way, there is a disapproval process. All ingredients must appear on a FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) list or be submitted for FDA approval. The FDA even has regulations on what we can and cannot say about our product or how we name it. But, they do not issue an approval after passing inspection.

 

Why is Advanced Omega a dry caplet not liquid?
A few years ago I saw the results of an independent lab analysis of 100 randomly selected omega/fish oil products. The results showed about 85% were rancid. Obviously such results influenced our choice in how we would produce such a supplement. Just a few weeks ago, Consumer Labs did a similar study looking at 25 fatty acid products. Almost 40% of the products tested failed to meet their standards. Of those tested, 6 did not have the listed amount of stated essential fatty acids and 2 had high peroxide values, indicating spoilage. - This was in spite of the fact that vitamin E had been added as an antioxidant.

Check out: www.ConsumerLab.com if you would like additional information on their tests.

Symmetry avoids this problem with Advanced Omega by extracting the essential fatty acids and placing them in a dry caplet where they cannot spoil. This also leaves behind toxic material that may have been in the fish oil -such as mercury. So we are giving you only the purest fatty acids from multiple sources (borage seed, flax seed, salmon, mackerel, cod and tuna) on a pill made from... calcium - another essential nutrient!

How can I lower my Cholesterol?
First of all, you must understand that not all cholesterol is bad. Your body manufactures cholesterols, as some is needed for vital physiological functions. The secret is to reduce the levels of harmful cholesterols (called LDL's) while supporting the proper levels of the beneficial cholesterols (HDL's). 

To do this, I recommend the following products: 

1. Advanced Omega - which improves blood flow and promotes proper circulation 

2. LipoSorb - which lowers the amount of dietary fat you absorb from your diet, thereby reducing overall cholesterol intake 

3. CarbLess - encourages the body to burn carbohydrates rather than storing them as fat 

4. Cardio-Essentials - promotes overall cardiovascular health, which is especially important where cholesterol is concerned. 

Female Balance (for both men and women) and Bio-Infinity may also be helpful. And, if stress plays a role in your lifestyle, add Tranquility. I also recommend that you increase your daily exercise, after consulting with your physician.
 

Which products do you recommend for a person with Arthritis?

There are a variety of products to take, which I recommend taking in combination:

1. Glucosamine Formula and Protection 4 Life with Genesis have many ingredients believed to support healthy joints and be anti-inflammatory 

2. Calcium Coverage (caplets or liquid) for increased bone and joint support 

3. Immunity as arthritis can be an autoimmune dysfunction 

4. Advanced Omega (which is part of the Protection 4 Life system) which improves blood flow and relieves swelling. 

Plus, Tranquility and Bio-Infinity may be added for specific, targeted support.
 

What do you suggest for dealing with Diabetes?

First of all, diabetes is a serious medical condition - and one that has become so widespread that it is nearing epidemic proportions in the U.S. - and you need to work with your physician to determine how best to manage the problem.

However, there are Symmetry products which will support your efforts. 
I recommend:

1. NutraPack

2. Advanced Omega

3. Carbless and Lipo Sorb

If you are overweight, I suggest that you try the SlymPack, to help you gradually lose weight while supporting you nutritionally. Bio-Inifinity seems to help people experience the benefits from the other products more quickly.

Also, I strongly suggest that you eliminate white foods (refined carbohydrates) from your diet and start a sensible exercise program.
 

Does Symmetry have a HGH Human growth hormone product?
First, HGH stands for Human Growth Hormone. This is a drug. No company can sell it to you. You must have a doctor's exam, meet certain criteria, be given a prescription to purchase HGH from a pharmacy. (It's very expensive and possibly dangerous.) Many companies try to mislead you with their packaging and advertising. Some of these are coming under FDA scrutiny, as this type of promotion is illegal and unethical.

So why would you want HGH? Our hormones naturally decrease as we age, after peaking in our 20's to 30's. By the time we reach 80 we may have only 10% of the levels we had in our youth. Studies have shown increasing the hormones back to a youthful level brings about youthful changes. The body will naturally lose fat and make muscle, your hair may grow and/or return to its natural color, your skin will thicken and look younger, losing age spots, your sex drive will return and/or get stronger. You will also heal faster, improve your mental clarity and learning, and perhaps extend your life.

You can't go out and get HGH, contrary to the ads you've seen. You can legally buy HGH pre-cursors, promoters or releasers. Symmetry's Bio-Infinity is one such product. It has a number of age slowing, youth promoting ingredients, but its key ingredient is pregnenalone. This is a pre-cursor to DHEA or the "mother hormone." This hormone is converted into testosterone and estrogen. The really great thing about pre-cursors is that you only convert them if you need them. Too much of either of these hormones is not a good thing. If you get too much you could increase your risk of liver damage and of certain hormon ally related cancers. (And a nasty masculizing effect on women!)

Amino acids found in Symmetry's Night Lite also stimulate the release of HGH. You naturally produce more of this hormone during the first 2 hours of sleep at night. For this reason you take the Night Lite before bed - to naturally boost this process.
