The purpose of the video Functional Nutrition and Our Products is to introduce you to our wonderful products what they are, how they work in the body, and what you need to do in order to experience the life-enhancing, health-supporting benefits you've heard so much about. In this DVD presentation, summarized here, long-time business builders and microalgae supporters Russell Mariani and Cindy Bertrand are your guides on the journey to better health through better nutritional choices.

Therapist and educator Cindy Bertrand joined the Simplexity Health community in 1988 and has been a passionate advocate of our products ever since. Using puppets, she teaches children about a variety of interesting subjects, including nutrition, health, and building self-esteem. As Cindy says, "I wasn't always living my purpose and doing what I love. There was a time in my early twenties when, due to my lifestyle and nutritional choices, I had no energy. I felt hopeless and was physically and mentally tired. I knew I was never going to be what I wanted to be. I could barely get my aching body out of bed. Then a friend introduced me to these products and my life became mine again. I'm so excited to share them with others today."

Russell Mariani has been a health educator and nutrition counselor since 1980. During the past 30 years, he's been able to help thousands of people learn the basic principles and practices of Functional Nutrition, which is a very simple but effective way to improve your health by becoming more proactive in your own self-care, especially when it comes to dietary and lifestyle choices. "I'm excited to share with others my knowledge and experience about Simplexity Health's life-changing products," declares Russell. "I was first introduced to microalgae products in the winter of 1987 and they totally changed my life! Within a few short weeks of consuming these products, I experienced a level of energy and vitality that had been missing from my life for a very long time. Why did these products make such an impact? The answer to that question is the purpose of Functional Nutrition and Our Products."

By the end of this presentation, you will have a deeper understanding of and appreciation for at least two things that can dramatically improve the quality of your health and your life. First, you will better understand what an amazing thing the human body is; second, you will understand why your body needs nutritional supplements—and not just any supplements but those from Simplexity Health, which are unique and special.

Chapter 2: Functional Nutrition—What is it?

Our products stay true to a simple philosophy: The human body is a marvelously designed living organism with the ability to grow, regulate, repair, and defend itself when given premium, natural, full-spectrum nutrition. And this philosophy grows out of our Functional Nutrition health model. What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional Nutrition is need-based nutrition. It recognizes the scientific fact that in order for our body's cells, organs, and systems to function normally, certain basic biological or physiological needs must be met. As long as we meet these needs effectively and consistently, the body thrives. We call this health and well-being.

But if we ignore these needs and consistently fail to meet them and instead make poor dietary choices, then the body suffers and feels ill-at-ease. We call this dis-ease, or a lack of ease. It really is that simple.

Functional Nutrition says that when it comes to the relationship between our body and our health, nothing is neutral...including what we eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and supplements. Everything is either complementary or insulting. Every choice we make is either helpful or harmful to our body. Every choice is either moving our body in the direction of improving health and well-being, or it isn't.

Functional Nutrition teaches us that we know our own body best and that our health is our own responsibility. All we have to do is listen. In other words, pay attention to what your body is saying to you and then use common sense to determine the best response.

Functional Nutrition also teaches us the fundamentals. It's like a wheel of life, each spoke representing commonsense things like the need for enough sleep and rest, fresh air, and exercise, the need to be properly hydrated and eat a balanced diet of nutrient-rich whole foods. We need to consume the best and right kinds of nutritional supplements. All these things help us manage life's stresses and also our time more effectively. We also need caring, loving, supportive relationships and meaningful work that we believe in and enjoy doing. And we need to have fun! What's the point of all the hard work we do to get and remain healthy if we are not having fun and enjoying ourselves?

We know these things are true. We know we have to make sure that all the spokes on the 'wheel of life' are strong and in the right places. The question is: Are we doing these things effectively and consistently? If not, we're going to suffer. If we do these things effectively and consistently, we will thrive. It really is that simple, and of course it makes sense!

Chapter 3: The Four Nutritional Building Blocks

Functional Nutrition teaches us that when it comes to the need for nutritional supplements, we can look at the body as if it were a house. We have to make sure that the foundation of the house is sturdy and strong. The foundation of the human body consists of over 100 trillion individual cells. When these foundational structures are sturdy and strong, the whole body is healthy and energetic. Foundational nutrients are essential to the proper functioning of every cell, organ, and system in the body. In our Functional Nutrition model, we recognize Four Nutritional Building Blocks, the four cornerstones of health:

1.     Nourish with Superfood Nutrition
2.     Energize with Digestive Nutrition
3.     Protect with Antioxidant Nutrition
4.     Renew with Specialized Nutrition

Nourish, Energize, Protect, Renew—the four building blocks of Functional Nutrition. Make better choices in each of these areas every day to support the cellular foundation of your body. Strong cellular foundations provide the benefits we know as energy, vitality, and radiant health and well-being.

We meet our body's micronutrient needs when we nourish with super-foods like those in Essentials, Alpha Sun, Omega Sun, Simply SBGA, Alpha Gold, Omega Gold, Go Green, Super Sun Smoothie, and the BG Bar.

When we energize with digestive nutrition, we help our body break down foods into micronutrients that are then more effectively absorbed and assimilated into the blood, from there to become the fuel for all the cells in the body. We do this with products like SBG Zymes, SBG Zymes Plus, Acidophilus, Bifidus, Spectrabiotic, Essentials, APA Blend, and APA Blend Plus.*

We protect our cells with antioxidant nutrition, using products like Super Q10, Super Sprouts & Algae, Alpha Sun, Omega Sun, Essentials, Simply SBGA, and StemPlex.*

We renew and rejuvenate our body's specialized and immune system needs with products like StemPlex, ImmuSun, OsteoSun, Alpha Sun, Omega Sun, Essentials, Simply SBGA, APA Blend, and APA Blend Plus.*

Why are some of the products included in more than one area? Some of our product formulas are so synergistic and inclusive that they meet the criteria for more than one building block. This is a result of the broad-spectrum and balanced synergy of the products' many nutritional factors, which we will explain shortly.

Knowing that Simplexity Health products meet our needs in the Four Nutritional Building Block areas, you might wonder where to start. As we review each of our products, you will gain a better understanding of your current needs and your options for how to begin. And we will provide some guidance and suggestions at the end of this presentation.

Now let's take a closer look at each of Simplexity Health's nutrition products, how they work in the body and what life-enhancing benefits they provide.

Chapter 4: What is Organic Blue-Green Microalgae?

In our company everything starts with our foundational product, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), and the Upper Klamath Lake ecosystem where this blue-green microalgae flourishes.

Blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year, surrounded by mineral-rich volcanic soils, and fed continually by pristine rivers, mountain streams, and bubbling cold-water springs, Upper Klamath Lake is a nutrient-rich aquatic garden that allows this unique food source—Aphanizomenon flos-aquae—to reach its healthiest potential. AFA is capable of helping us to reach our greatest health potential too. No wonder it has been identified as one of the world's most important superfoods. All we have to do is consume a few capsules every single day.

We encourage you to learn as much as you can about the lake itself and the surrounding Klamath Basin ecosystem. Any food is only as healthy as the environment in which it grows and our AFA grows in a very healthy, very amazing environment! You can learn a lot more about this unique and life-enhancing superfood online at www.simplexityhealth.com.

We believe that, because of the environment where it grows and the meticulous care with which we harvest and process it and bring it to your door, our AFA is the most vital, most energizing, most nutrient-rich organic superfood in the marketplace today. It's the best, and it's inclusion in most of our nutritional products is the most important reason our products truly are unique and special.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae contains more than 60 individual nutrients, each with its own proven health benefits. This means that, gram for gram, AFA has more nutrients than any other natural food, with biologically active vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals, amino acids, simple carbohydrates, enzymes, fatty acids, and pigments like beta-carotene and chlorophyll. It is this broad spectrum and balanced synergy of naturally occurring and wild-crafted nutrients that make our organic-certified Aphanizomenon flos-aquae so exceptional.

Most foods require the body to work hard and expend energy to get at the nutrients inside. Not so with AFA. The algae itself is 95% assimilable, and most of the nutrients are in forms that are directly usable by the body. This results in a cellular energy surplus that we can feel as a boost in physical energy and improved mental functioning.* It means that the nutrients in the algae are used to maximum metabolic efficiency; which is why relatively small amounts can have such enormous benefits.

The most important benefit AFA offers is its biomodulating, or natural balancing, effect. Scientists have come to understand biomodulators as nutritional substances that have the ability to maintain and enhance normal metabolic functions.*

Nutritional biomodulators increase the benefits of other complementary habits in our diet and lifestyle. Controlled studies involving various beneficial characteristics of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae have been conducted in cooperation with such prestigious institutions as Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. AFA is one of the most effective biomodulating superfoods ever discovered, and this is the most important reason we add it to so many of our other products.

Chapter 5: Each Cell is Like a Factory

The biomodulating effect of the algae is its most important benefit. So let's take a minute to understand more clearly what this means. Let's imagine that every single cell in the body is like a little factory; and every one of these factories performs different jobs or makes different products depending on its location in the body. For example, brain cells produce different products than stomach cells. But the basic mechanisms of all the various factories are pretty much the same: Nutrients flowing in; products being produced; waste products being removed. The activities performed by all these little factories are what we call cellular metabolism, and normal cellular metabolism is the key to optimum health.

Every factory has a manager and every manager has a well-trained team of bio-engineers. Everyone on this magnificent team has a set of blueprints or instructions, called DNA, and these instructions include a list of very specific raw materials or nutrients needed by that particular factory to function normally and do its job correctly.

When cells function normally, we feel great; we call this health and well-being. When cells don't function normally, we feel lousy because our cells are not getting the nutrient raw materials they need and they are getting too many unhelpful raw materials that they don't want or need. These unhelpful raw materials come from processed foods, junk foods, and toxins in our food, water, air, and environment. So what this means, what the latest science tells us, is that the major reason so many people experience so many different benefits from Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is the broad spectrum and balanced synergy of so many important and difficult-to-find micro-nutrients that are constantly flowing in to the trillions and trillions of little cellular factories.

And we are the CEOs of all these factories! Every single one of these factories reports to us and depends on us. The choices we make every day in our diet and lifestyle determine the health of all these factories. Our job as CEO is to keep all those managers happy by giving them the raw materials, or nutrients, they need to do their jobs. As CEOs of our own body, when we do our job well we are healthy. The choice is ours and it really is this simple and this important. This is what we mean when we say that a well-nourished body doesn't make mistakes. And this is exactly what Simplexity Health's nutrition philosophy statement refers to, that "The human body is a marvelously designed living organism with the ability to grow, regulate, repair, and defend itself when given natural, premium, full-spectrum nutrition."

Chapter 6: Nutrients in Blue-Green Microalgae

Now, with all this as our background, let's take a closer look at some of the vital nutrients found in Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant and free-radical inhibitor that boosts the immune system by increasing the strength of cell walls, particularly in the digestive and respiratory tracts.

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll carries oxygen to cells and helps remove cellular waste products. It's a powerful antioxidant nutrient that both builds and protects essential cellular structures. Gram for gram, no food on earth contains more chlorophyll than AFA.

Amino Acids

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein; they make up 50% or more of the physical structure of every cell in the body. Without complete amino acids in the foods we eat, our bodies become weak and start to break down. AFA contains all 20 amino acids, and this is unique among food plants. Amino acids provide vital fuel and energy sources, build and maintain the health of various messenger cells called neuropeptides, and help to bio-modulate emotion and mood swings. In fact, amino acids are the target of much brain-mind research.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)

Essential fatty acids are the "good fats" vital to the flexibility and fluidity of all cells. EFAs are required nutrients for the normal growth and repair of the skin, blood vessels, and nerve tissues. They build, maintain, and repair cell membranes (cell walls). Without healthy cell membranes, none of the other miraculous activities of cells would be possible. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae contains EFAs belonging to both the Omega-3 and Omega-6 groups that we hear so much about.

Minerals and Trace Minerals

Without the presence of certain minerals and trace minerals in just the right amounts, many metabolic functions in the body would not work correctly. The mineral-rich waters of Upper Klamath Lake provide a broad spectrum of bioavailable minerals necessary for building strong bones, activating vitamins and enzymes, strengthening cell wall structures, and providing the basis for all electrical impulses in the body. These electrical impulses regulate all muscle and heart contractions as well as all brain and neuro-transmitter activity, among many other essential metabolic activities.

Vitamins

The 13 vitamins in AFA, including vitamins A, K, and B12, work together synergistically with the other available micronutrients to vitalize and direct all internal enzyme systems so that every metabolic activity takes place correctly. Boosting the immune system, relieving tension and fatigue, sustaining digestion, increasing cellular energy, maintaining nerve strength and neurotransmitter activity, fighting free radicals, and improving the quality of our hair, skin, nails, teeth, and gums are just some of the benefits we receive from a balanced variety of vitamins in our foods.

The nutrients described so far are pretty familiar to most of us. It's important to remember that no other food plant contains as many micronutrients over—60, each with its own important benefits—as AFA. Here are a few less well-known nutrients also found in Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.

Phenylethylamine

Phenylethylamine, or PEA, is a compound that exists naturally in the human central nervous system. It enhances mental clarity, concentration, and attention when found in normal concentrations and is responsible for the feelings associated with pleasure and mental awareness.

Phycocyanin

Phycocyanin is a photosynthetic blue pigment present in all blue-green algae. Research has shown that phycocyanin has strong antioxidant properties and can protect us from free-radical damage caused by oxidative stress.

Polysaccharide

AFA contains a polysaccharide, or complex sugar, that has been shown to affect at least two kinds of human immune cells: monocytes and macrophages. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that absorbs and removes waste material from the bloodstream. Macrophages do the same thing outside of the bloodstream and in the spaces between cells and connective tissues.

For more information about the benefits of AFA and many more of its important nutritional components, check out Simplexity Health's website.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that these features and benefits are pretty significant. And we've described only some of the micronutrients. You can appreciate why we say that AFA is unique and special, and one of the most important super-foods ever discovered. To receive the benefits, all we have to do is consume a few capsules every single day.

All of the nutrients just described are present in our basic microalgae products: Alpha Sun, Omega Sun, and Simply SBGA.

Chapter 7: Nourish with Superfood Nutrition

The following products represent the first of our Four Nutritional Building Blocks, Nourish with Superfood Nutrition, by providing a broad spectrum and balanced synergy of essential micronutrients to every cell and system in the body.

Alpha Sun is the whole algae, containing all the micronutrients just described. Alpha Sun provides a highly assimilable natural complex that is critical for physical health. Available in capsules or tablets, it is certified organic, kosher, and halal. It is vegan and gluten-free.

Omega Sun is the heart of the algae with the peptidoglycan cell wall carefully removed. This unique process results in a product with a higher concentration of certain amino acids known to nourish and enhance brain activities such as memory, concentration, and problem solving. Available in capsules or tablets, Omega Sun is certified organic, kosher, and halal. It is vegan and gluten-free.

Simply SBGA is a 50-50 blend of Alpha Sun and Omega Sun in powdered form, so you receive the benefits of both in one easy-to-consume product. It is certified organic, kosher, and halal, and is vegan and gluten-free.

Alpha Gold is formulated to help the body use its energy production centers most efficiently. This formula contains: vitamin-rich bee pollen to help increase overall stamina and vitality; Hawaiian noni to support the immune system; turmeric with curcumin to help protect against environmental toxins; gluten-free sprouted wheat grass juice that contributes chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and a host of B-vitamins; and green tea, which continues to gain popularity as an overall health tonic and immune system booster.*

Omega Gold contains a careful selection of ingredients, each with significant health benefits, that work synergistically with Omega Sun algae to promote a sense of mental well-being and inner calm.* In addition to Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Hawaiian noni, turmeric, and wheat grass juice, Omega Gold contains Gingko biloba, which supports memory and stimulates circulation.* Omega Gold also contains eleuthero, a nutrient famous for increasing mental and physical performance.

Chapter 8: Energize with Digestive Nutrition

Energize with Digestive Nutrition is our second nutritional building block area. Digesting three or more meals a day uses up a lot of the body's available energy reserves. These products help our body to more effectively digest, absorb, and assimilate the nutrients in foods. When digestion improves, energy improves, and then everything else improves too!

All raw and fresh foods have the enzymes necessary for complete digestion so that we may benefit from the many nutrients the food contains. Despite publicity on the importance of eating more raw and fresh foods, the amount of "live" foods people eat is decreasing while the amount of cooked and processed foods is increasing. Every cooked meal can be seen as a significant stress on the digestive and immune systems, as the body copes with the burden of breaking down nutrient-deficient processed food. Enzyme exhaustion produces physical and mental exhaustion in the form of after-meal heaviness, moodiness, and achiness (often including headaches).

When you take Simplexity Health's digestive enzyme products with your meals, you will feel the difference. More complete digestion will leave you feeling lighter and more energetic. Some people even report the need to eat less food because they feel more satisfied after a meal. The benefits of digestive enzymes to overall health and energy are dramatic.

SBG Zymes contains a full range of plant-based enzymes that dramatically increase the complete breakdown and initial digestion of all types of food, including fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and fiber. Simplexity's enzymes products are the only products on the market that include MycoProZyme, an enzyme that works in the low pH environment of the stomach. The plant-based enzymes in SBG Zymes are blended with Alpha Sun, to provide other nutrients and mineral co-factors needed for more complete digestion and absorption of vital nutrients. This product is kosher-certified.

SBG Zymes Plus allows the body to utilize a broader spectrum of nutrients from foods by increasing the number of digestive enzymes in each subgroup: lipase for fats, amylase for carbohydrates, and protease for proteins. By adding the catalytic effects of cayenne, ginger, and fennel to this group of super-active enzymes, Simplexity Health has created one of the most effective supplemental digestive enzyme products on the market today. With thirteen active enzymes (including MycoProZyme) as well as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, SBG Zymes Plus is a potent addition to any diet. Remember that better digestion means that you will eat less, get more nutrients from the foods you eat, and feel more energetic. This product is certified both kosher and halal.

Probiotics (meaning "for life") are beneficial bacteria that live and work inside the entire gastrointestinal tract. Although digestive enzymes are necessary for optimum digestion, that's only half the story. The other half is the need for efficient absorption and assimilation of nutrients. Nutrients are absorbed through the delicate lining of the small intestine and assimilated into the blood and lymph fluids, eventually finding their way into all the cells of the body. Throughout the length of the small and large intestines, trillions of "friendly bacteria" work hard to help us complete this all-important nutritional process.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is the strain of friendly bacteria that dominate the small intestine. Benefits include maintaining proper pH balance and producing enzymes and B-vitamins (including B12, biotin, and folic acid), which support the immune system.* L. acidophilus also produces acidophilin, a natural antibiotic that helps keep the good bacteria in our intestines. Simplexity's Acidophilus was developed through the efforts of respected nutritional scientist Dr. Khem Shahani and his team of university researchers. The DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus used in Simplexity Health's Acidophilus has demonstrated properties of great significance for digestion and overall health for many years.* The addition of Omega Sun blue-green algae contributes micronutrient benefits and enhances the growth and health of the good bacteria in the gut.* This product is kosher-certified.

Bifidobacterium bifidum dominate the large intestine. Like all probiotics, these bacteria produce natural antibiotics and vitamins, and help to regulate pH.* Simplexity Health's Bifidus plays an important role in nourishing and strengthening the flexibility of the colon, which helps in the proper elimination of waste.* When B. Bifidum are maintained in healthy abundance, problems like occasional irregularity, bloating, and gas are reduced or eliminated.* The addition of Omega Sun blue-green algae contributes micronutrient benefits and enhances the growth and health of the good bacteria in the gut.* This product is kosher-certified.

Spectrabiotic is a unique and proprietary blend of Jerusalem artichoke, acerola, rose hips, Omega Sun microalgae, and eight important beneficial bacteria, all providing the full range of benefits already mentioned with our previous probiotic products. With the addition of key digestive enzymes (lipase for fats, amylase for carbohydrates, protease for proteins, and cellulase for fiber), Spectrabiotic is exceptional in the marketplace of digestive supplements.

Chapter 9: Protect with Antioxidant Nutrition

To Protect with Antioxidant Nutrition is our third nutritional building block area.

Antioxidants are nutritional substances that protect the body from the destructive effects of highly unstable, reactive molecules known as free radicals. Free radicals can damage body tissues and cells, interfere with normal metabolic functions, invite infection and disease, and accelerate the aging process. Our bodies are designed to control the negative influence of free radicals by utilizing antioxidant vitamins, minerals, and enzymes from the healthy foods we eat. However, the many stresses of modern living often result in a proliferation of free radicals in quantities well beyond the body's natural ability to cope with them. So adding high-quality antioxidant supplements to our daily routine helps to neutralize and eliminate free radicals and their destructive effects.

Coenzyme Q10 is one of the most powerful and prolific antioxidants ever discovered. CoQ10 is the essential catalyst in the creation and production of energy inside every human cell. The highest concentration of CoQ10 is found in the heart, where it promotes proper cardiovascular function.* CoQ10 allows for increased energy throughout the body, helps strengthen and tone muscles and soft tissues within the body, and boosts the immune system.* Simplexity Health's cutting-edge Super Q10 is a remarkable combination of essential fatty acids from organic flaxseed oil, essential oils of rosemary, fennel, ginger, and cinnamon, and antioxidant carotenoids from both blue-green algae and red beta algae. There are many benefits attributed to CoQ10, including the ability to revitalize the immune system, support the cardiovascular system, energize the body, slow down the aging process, and increase tolerance for exercise.* And of course, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a proven and powerful antioxidant in its own right.

The heart of Super Sprouts & Algae is the enzyme-rich, custom-grown wheat sprouts, which are high in antioxidant enzymes, chlorophyll, and many B-vitamins. Simplexity Health then adds a mix of carotenoid-rich red beta algae and Alpha Sun. By combining the unique nutritional properties of these three superfoods from the land, the lake, and the sea, Super Sprouts & Algae works on the exterior of cell membranes and in the intercellular fluids of the surrounding blood and lymph, protecting cells from free-radical invasion. Super Sprouts & Algae is great for all sports enthusiasts, as it helps protect against the stresses experienced in the joints from increased physical activity.*

Chapter 10: Renew with Specialized Nutrition

Our fourth building block area is Renew with Specialized Nutrition.

StemPlex is a unique product that has been scientifically demonstrated to protect and increase the growth of adult stem cells inside the human body.* Adult stem cells have the ability to become whatever kind of cell the body needs them to become, and thus they represent the body's self-renewing or self-healing mechanism. As you can imagine, protecting and strengthening the adult stem cells is one of the most important functions we can and should support with wiser dietary and lifestyle choices. Several research studies have been completed on the base formula of StemPlex by scientists at the Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair at the University of South Florida College of Medicine. These studies demonstrate that the combination of nutrients in StemPlex—green tea, wild blueberries, wild blueberry extract, carnosine, vitamin D3, and Omega Sun extract—vigorously protect adult stem cells from oxidative stress and free-radical damage, and increase their ability to grow, multiply, and function more effectively.* These functional benefits are essential to our health and well-being.

ImmuSun contains the active ingredient WGP beta glucan, a patented proprietary form of the complex carbohydrate beta glucan, which is found in the cell wall of baker's yeast. Scientists discovered the immune-enhancing properties of beta glucan in the 1960s. Since then, they have documented its potential as an immune system booster in numerous studies conducted at such prestigious research institutions as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and Johns Hopkins University.* These studies have shown WGP (whole glucan particle) beta glucan's ability to activate macrophages, a type of white blood cell that is the body's first line of defense.* Healthy, proactive, aggressive macrophages are essential to a healthy human immune system, and a healthy immune system is the best way to guarantee overall health and well-being.

OsteoSun is an all-natural, non-calcium dietary supplement that has been scientifically demonstrated to maintain existing bone health and, when necessary, stimulate new bone growth.* OsteoSun contains a special patented form of red yeast rice. Studies on the health benefits of red yeast rice showed that a specific strain promotes bone health.* By identifying and isolating the most beneficial strain, our team of OsteoSun scientists has combined the purest and most active ingredients. This formula also contains Omega Sun blue-green algae which, along with its broad range of nutritional benefits, aids in the assimilation of red yeast rice that allows the bone to rebuild and maintain optimum bone health.*

Chapter 13: How to Get Started / Our Wish for You (Conclusion)

We want to thank you for taking the time to educate yourself about our wonderful health-promoting products and for your willingness to become more proactive in your own self-care. What nourishes you best? Simplexity Health nutrition products represent an integral part of the answer to that question. Now that you know why the products are beneficial and how they work in your body, the next question is "Where to begin?"

Before we discuss this issue, let's recall our Functional Nutrition health model with its four building blocks. Our bodies need to be nourished with Superfood Nutrition, energized with Digestive Nutrition, protected with Antioxidant Nutrition, and renewed with Specialized Nutrition. So given these four building blocks and the products associated with each area, how should you begin?

It's totally up to you. Feel free to start with one product that makes the most sense to you, or with the best combination of products. You really can't make a mistake. All the products are completely safe and effective. They will nourish you deeply and help your body to function more effectively, whether or not you notice any changes. Suggestions for beginning an algae regimen are found in the helpful guide Powerful Foods, Gentle Beginnings, available online.

Talk to your sponsor. Your sponsor is the person who introduced you to Simplexity Health products. He or she may have a lot of experience in sponsoring others and may have some important start-up suggestions based on that experience.

Also, talk to Simplexity Health. Our friendly Customer Service agents are trained to answer your questions and provide suggestions based on hundreds of thousands of conversations we've had with new customers during the past 27 years. Contact us, or visit our website at www.simplexityhealth.com.

No matter who you are or what your circumstances, what your age is or your current health condition, we've already helped people in similar situations. Whatever your concerns or questions might be, we have solutions. You might find the answer to your question by going to the Frequently Asked Questions section of the company's website. Or just call our toll-free number and someone on our Customer Service support team will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.

We also have a comprehensive online nutrition education program called The Journey to Better Nutrition, which includes questionnaires and evaluation forms, so that you can go step by step to create your own personalized health and nutrition program.

We want you to feel supported. Most importantly, we want you to experience all the amazing benefits that are possible with our products and our Functional Nutrition health model...today and in all the days ahead. The best way to do this is to listen to your body and use common sense. Get sufficient sleep and rest; get enough fresh air and exercise; stay hydrated; eat a balanced diet of nutrient-rich whole foods; consume the best and brightest nutritional supplements; and stay connected to the people, places, and things that nourish you best!

In other words, make a commitment and stay committed to being more proactive in your own self-care. Teach yourself to be the best that you can be...and teach others how to do the same thing!

In Closing...

On behalf of your sponsor, your upline, the Simplexity Health Home Team, and every Independent Business Associate in the field, we would like to thank you for your time and attention. We want to acknowledge you for the gift of your listening and your participation. We leave you with something to think about, a simple but powerful question: What is the purpose of your life?

Life is a miracle, filled with natural wonders of breathtaking beauty, and overflowing with magnificent people and places and things. Life is also an adventure, a never-ending quest to discover true meaning and purpose on this beautiful blue-green planet.

The very best way to enjoy the sacred gift of our own life is to be vigorously healthy and radiantly alive, fully engaged with passion and commitment to achieve our own greatest potential while inspiring others to do the same...and more!
