Lucky Vitamin is happy to introduce another top quality brand of supplements: Intensive Nutrition Inc.
Intensive Nutrition Inc. was founded in 1968 as Scientific Consulting Service, by Dr. Bela Balogh (PhD, Biochemist), who initially consulted oncologists and other health professionals on nutrition, and helped develop nutritional programs for patients. His consulting led to full-scale product development, and soon thereafter, the development of the Intensive Nutrition line.
Intensive Nutrition Inc. continues this tradition of customer education, and focuses on the manufacture of scientifically backed, vigorously researched dietary supplements. It is particularly important to manufacture products that work with the body’s biochemical processes and as a consequence of a commitment to this goal, Intensive Nutrition supplements exhibit the highest bioavailability.
Intensive Nutrition products are manufactured according to the standards set forth by the U.S. Pharmacopeia. The majority of the raw materials are certified kosher and raw material testing is conducted to ensure product quality and efficacy.
Intensive Nutrition uses only the highest quality raw materials from reputable raw material vendors. Throughout the 40 years in the industry, the company has established many long-term relationships with top quality raw material suppliers. The manner in which raw materials are combined significantly impacts a products’ efficacy and bioavailability. A term used in pharmacology, bioavailability essentially defines the extent to which a compound reaches systemic circulation and is available to the body at the point of absorption.
For dietary supplements, Intensive Nutrition uses the term bioavailability to define products manufactured for maximum absorption by the body. Intravenous delivery offers 100% bioavailability, however, as dietary supplements cannot be delivered in this manner without being classified as drugs, Intensive Nutrition strives to come as close as possible to maximum bioavailability by defining method of delivery and product composition.

HCG supplements have suddenly become one of the best selling weight loss products at Lucky Vitamin. As studies continue to look into its efficiency, many people are just trying to find a little bit more information about HCG.
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural hormone generally used to assist dieters to lose weight and curb appetite. HCG interacts with the hypothalamus gland, increases metabolism and allows the body to use fat as energy. Homeopathic HCG supplements have been shown to be just as effective on the diet in aiding with weight loss as the regular HCG products.
Considered a weight loss breakthrough by many men and women, HCG is available in thousands of brands and hundreds of combinations but some HCG products have been unable to produce results for many people. HCG diets are very controversial because experts will point the reduced calorie diet plan is responsible for the weight-loss, not the product.
HGC supplements are commonly mixed with four essential amino acids which can help promote energy, fat burning, healthy skin, and appetite control. The ingredients in HCG may help promote and stimulate your body’s own natural hormone production. Even though individuals reduce their caloric intake, the body consumes as much as 3,500 additional calories each day directly from the abnormal fat stores. Hunger is rarely an issue because HCG helps curb the appetite, reducing hunger to a minimum.
Moderate exercise is highly recommended as some people may be able lose up to one pound per day, when combine with taking HGC supplements. However, the unofficial average is about 20 pounds per month, slightly less than a pound per day.
As always, it’s highly recommended that you consult with your physician before starting taking HCG supplements or any other diet program.

Pumpkins are everywhere at this time of the year. Pumpkins are a symbol of Halloween, according to tradition, the scary face of the jack-o-lantern was used to frighten away evil spirits and protect the house from ghosts.
Pumpkins are native to North and Central America but have since been cultivated around the world, with their peak season in the fall. Pumpkins can also be considered a healthy food as pumpkin seeds have been used in herbal medicine for years. In fact, Native Americans also commonly used pumpkin seeds to treat a variety of kidney problems, and the flowers were used topically to soothe minor injuries.
Pumpkin seeds provide the body with a healthy dose of magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, iron, copper, and zinc, not to mention protein and vitamin K. In addition, pumpkin seed supplements are commonly use to treat a variety of conditions.
Pumpkin oil is a nutritional oil rich in essential fatty acids (EFAs) and has high phytosterol content. Scientific studies show that the phytosterols present in pumpkin seed oil provide support for a healthy prostate. Pumpkin seed oil has been used in combination with saw palmetto to effectively reduce symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Studies have shown that pumpkin seed extract can improve the function of the bladder and urethra, which might partially account for BPH symptom relief.
Furthermore, pumpkin seeds have been used to support other conditions including helping remedy depression due to its L-tryptophan content. Eating pumpkin seeds as a snack can help prevent the most common type of kidney stone and pumpkin seeds appear to both reduce levels of substances that promote stone formation in the urine and increase levels of substances that inhibit stone formation.

Lucky Vitamin is proud to present a unique line of natural supplements to our customers: FruitrientsX.
FruitrientsX offers a complete line of organically grown, exotic fruit supplements using the best fruit ingredients in the purest, most concentrated form possible. All formulas are 100% additive-free for the highest quality, fruit supplements available. Manufactured by Ultra Laboratories, a company committed to creating only clean, additive-free products, FruitrientsX is your best choice for natural and pure products.
FruitrientsX bring you the best fruit supplements available. Fruit plants, from the core to the skin, are rich in phytonutrients and nutrient complexes that are extremely beneficial to your health. Each fruit has unique compounds that work in different ways in various parts of the body. Getting a variety helps insure that you get all the nutrients needed by your body.
Most of the fruit juice products available today are little more than expensive, watered-down sugar waters. The active ingredients have been diluted to the point that there is not much potency per serving. Furthermore, the taste of some juice ingredients is unfavorable, so they are cut to a relatively low concentration. Encapsulated tropical fruit powders offer a much better alternative as capsules are able to concentrate the active ingredients to a much higher level than those found in liquids, and without all the sugar.
FruitrientsX offers supplements from exotic fruits as well as hot selling items. This incredible selection include supplements made of olive leaf, pomegranate, sea buckthorn, açai berry, bitter melon, camu camu, coconut oil, cranberry extract, goji berry, maca root, mangosteen, noni fruit, and much more.

Lucky Vitamin is introducing another top quality brand of supplements: Arthur Andrew.
Arthur Andrew Medical offers a unique line of supplements, specialized in enzyme products. The company’s mission is to be the leader in the development of systemic enzyme products in the supplement industry. While other companies develop products based on market trends and fads, Arthur Andrew Medical only adopts products with ingredients that have extensive clinical research for safety and efficacy.
Arthur Andrew closely monitors the trends of pharmaceutical companies abroad that understand the importance of natural medicine. Many enzymes are prescription medications in other countries such as Japan, Germany, and Russia. However, drug companies in the US have tried to mimic these natural enzymes in an attempt to patent them for profit. The billions in research efforts in designer “natural” enzymes in Japan has led to the distribution of these wonder drugs here in the US as dietary supplements due to their safety and efficacy.
Arthur Andrew Medical understands the importance of marketing its products as supplements and not drugs. The company believes that much of the evidence and research done overseas does not legally constitute as fact, unless these statements have been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
Arthur Andrew independently tests each material for quality and stability to insure a highly effective and potent product. This strict commitment to excellence has been maintained through the years by finding facilities and business partners that adhere to high quality standards and manufacturing practices.
You can get free shipping on all Arthur Andrew Medical items. Just enter promotion code ARTHURSHIP at checkout for free standard shipping, with savings equivalent to $5.95 off. A $35 minimum purchase of Arthur Andrew Medical products is required.

Lucky Vitamin is introducing another top quality brand of supplements: Agro Labs.
Agro Labs manufactures and markets healthful nutritional products containing the latest research that is accurate and targeted to provide maximum health benefits. The company is committed to providing the most accurate information to consumers regarding all health ingredients and dosage recommendations.
Since its inception in 2004, Agro Labs, Inc. has been a driving force in human nutrition combining product innovation with clinical science. Every day, Agro Labs succeeds in helping countless people improve their lives through high-quality natural products sourced from all over the world. All Agro Labs products are ethically harvested to ensure the safety of our environment.
In an effort to help protect our environment, reduce trash and conserve, Agro Labs has designed all products in plastic bottles and without boxes. A unique aseptic process enables the company to remove the wasteful cardboard and glass packaging often associated with standard processed liquid dietary supplements. This aseptic preservative free process represents the state of the art in quality and purity with minimal environmental impact. Agro Labs uses plastic bottles to save fuel and energy, as plastic weighs much less than glass and it is 100% recyclable.
Furthermore, the company has switched to plastic after reaching the conclusion that the carbon footprint of plastic is actually smaller than using glass. The BPA-free bottles are capable of aseptic pasteurization, the latest technology in food processing, which cannot be done in glass. The principal benefit of Aseptic processing is that it significantly reduces the amount of heat applied to the product. One of the few companies able to use this process on nutritional supplements, Agro Labs knows that heat degrades the nutritional value of fruits.
Agro Labs products are gluten free, preservative free, and made with all natural juice, with no artificial flavors or sugars added.

A recent online article displayed 10 foods you should avoid if you are watching your cholesterol. Not a bad topic considering that approximately one in every six adults has high total cholesterol in the United States. That’s 16% of the U.S. adult population with “high” levels, defined as total cholesterol of 240 mg/dL and above.
People with high total cholesterol have approximately twice the risk of heart disease as people with optimal levels. According to CDC – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a desirable level is lower than 200 mg/dL. Many of these foods are also extremely high in salt and fat, and should be avoided by people who have high cholesterol.
The list of 10 Foods to avoid if you’re watching your cholesterol include: shellfish, cream cheese, caviar, duck, ice cream, eggs, fast food, shrimp, bacon, and butter.
If you take a look at the top 10 high cholesterol content foods, you may not need to worry about a couple of them, who is really eating caviar or duck these days? However, some of the foods listed are frequently part of the American diet particularly eggs, cream cheese, butter, bacon and any type of fast food.
Eggs top the list as the yolks of eggs have the most cholesterol of any food, with 1234 mg per 100 g serving. This translates to 411 percent of the USDA’s recommended daily allowance for cholesterol.
Check out these cholesterol numbers: cream cheese contains 27 mg per 1oz, one tablespoon of butter contains 30g, one piece of bacon contains about 9 mg, and a typical fast food burger averages between 60 and 150 mg, while chicken nuggets contain between 30 and 50 mg. Fast food breakfasts are the worst with a classic egg-based breakfast sandwich contains about 260 mg of cholesterol, though larger sizes can have as much as 465 mg.
Eat healthy, exercise and stay away from the foods listed above. Moreover, natural supplements can help to regulate healthy cholesterol levels.
