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.
