At PURE: People United Reaching Everyone, we have an expert team that is dedicated to answering your product and nutrition questions.

Here are the most popular questions from the previous few weeks. You might find a topic related to a question you have.

Q: How many Organic Sulfur capsules are equal to one scoop of Organic Sulfur?
A: Three capsules (1 g x 3 = 3 g) equals 1 scoop of Organic Sulfur (3 g). The Recommended Use on the label suggests 3 capsules as one serving.

Q: Is it possible to eat too much Mila?
A: Mila is a high-quality, 100% natural food. One serving contains 5 grams of dietary fiber, which helps with intestinal regularity, cardiovascular health and blood sugar maintenance. Consuming too much fiber, especially if your body is not used to it, can cause gastrointestinal upset. If you experience GI upset, take less than the recommended 2 Tablespoons and build up to this amount as your body adjusts to an increased intake of fiber. Drink plenty of water when taking Mila. The recommended daily amount of fiber is 25 grams.*

Q: What is the source of the natural vanilla bean flavoring in Greens?
A: Natural vanilla originates from Madagascar, Indonesia and Mexico.  Vanilla beans are extracted, purified and made in the U.S.

Q: What are the natural flavors and colors that are used in products by PURE?
A: Natural flavors and colors are from vegetables, fruits and other natural sources such as vanilla and cacao beans.

Q: Which products by PURE contain vitamin D?
A: Daily Build has 800 IU of vitamin D3, the highest amount. CalciuMK+ has 600 IU. Immune6 and GPS Reset have 500 IU. 360 Complete Shake has 200 IU. GPS Rebuild Chocolate has 40 IU of D3.  Please check the product labels for ingredients and amounts.

Q: Which products help support circulation and blood flow?
A: Typically, Goji has been used to support circulation. GPS Circulate provides amino acids like L-arginine and L-citruline, which help promote the production of nitric oxide N.O. in the body. N.O. helps promote circulation and blood flow.*

Q: Do you use any synthetic ingredients in your “natural flavors”?
A: There are no synthetic ingredients in our natural sweeteners and natural flavors.

Q: What is glucose polymer derived from and is it something that is good for the body?
A: Glucose polymers are an important source of carbohydrates in dietary supplements. Glucose polymers are large molecules composed of many glucose molecules. They provide more energy at a given osmolarity and are absorbed at a faster rate than glucose alone. Glucose polymers also improve the consistency of beverages made from powdered mixes. Glucose polymers are responsible for the creamy texture in products like ENERGY, 360 Complete Shake and PURE Café.

Q: Are any products by PURE tested on animals?
A:  None of the products by PURE are tested on animals.

The “sunshine vitamin” may be good for the brain

/ livepureglobal / Leave a comment

Remember the movie Nim’s Island (2008)? Actress Jodie Foster plays the part of an agoraphobic, someone who is afraid of the outdoors. She eventually overcomes the disorder when she is called to fulfill a personal mission. While watching the movie, I couldn’t help but wonder if she was getting enough vitamin D.

Why, you might ask? Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin” for good reason. When the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, it triggers the body to make vitamin D. We cannot make this vitamin without sunshine, even though our bodies require it. Jodie Foster’s character likely received her vitamin D from dietary supplements, one can only hope, since it’s such a beneficial vitamin. She could have received sufficient amounts from foods like salmon, eggs and milk, which are all high in vitamin D.

Vitamin D:

  • helps promote healthy bones as it aids in the absorption of calcium
  • regulates how much calcium stays in our blood, contributing to heart health
  • helps strengthen your immune system and regulate cell growth

 Mind your Ks, Ps and Ds

Apparently, the older you are, the less vitamin D your skin absorbs. And yet, as you age, the more you need vitamin D to keep your mind sharp.

Researchers at the University of California-Davis conducted a study and found that participants, average age of 75, who had deficient (less than 12 ng/mL) or insufficient (12-20 ng/mL) vitamin D levels, experienced a decline in short-term memory and executive functions (reasoning, problem solving and planning). Their average levels of vitamin D were 19 ng/mL. Consensus among physicians is that levels should be at least 35 ng/mL.

The study also found that participants’ cognition was declining about two and a half times faster than those who had adequate vitamin D (20-50 ng/mL) levels.1

 Try Supplementing D with P(URE)

Here in Texas, at the PURE home office, we are strong proponents of the sunshine vitamin. Not only do we get a lot of it being in southern climates, but we have some fabulous products that contain it. Below is a list of vitamin D-rich products with their respective amounts. Note that IU on a vitamin label means “international unit.” That’s science lingo for the amount of fat-soluble vitamins in a capsule; vitamins that are stored in the body, versus water-soluble vitamins which are not.

Products by PURE with vitamin D:

How much vitamin D do you need?

According to the Institute of Medicine, 600 International Units (IU) is the recommended daily intake for children and for adults ages 19 to 70. People ages 71 and older should get an additional 200 IU.2 Please note that CalciuMK+ and 360 Complete Shake are safe for children 6 to 12 years of age. Immune6 and Daily Build are safe for children ages 12 years and up.

All it takes is 10 to 15 minutes of sun exposure each day for your body to produce adequate amounts of the vitamin. That can easily be done by walking the dog, going for a quick jog around the block or mowing the lawn. Keep in mind that using sunscreen can block vitamin D absorption. Always be sensible with your time in the sun.

Also, your complexion can factor into your sun exposure needs. Lighter skin absorbs vitamin D quicker than darker skin. People in the northern climates are exposed to less sun than those who live in the south.

Most people get enough vitamin D. However, if you don’t spend enough time in the sun, or if your body has trouble absorbing the vitamin, you may not get enough. So spend some time outdoors and enjoy the beautiful sunshine, wisely. It’s the best way to get your D, and to do your body good.

Get ahead of the class, and the germs

/ livepureglobal / Leave a comment

New classes and fresh faces mean exposure to germs — a lot of them. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, elementary school children get 8 to 12 colds, or cases of the flu, each school year. For older kids, it is about half that.

It’s not only kids who get sick, teachers get sneezed on and parents miss work when kids have to stay home. What’s the solution?

Hand washing is the number one preventive step children and adults can take to avoid getting sick when going back to school. But there are other ways to keep germs at bay. The following products by PURE contain unique ingredients that help fight internal and external aggressors to keep the immune system functioning at its peak.*

Our best defense is intact healthy skin

Skin Defense by PURE is a unique spray that helps defend from the outside in against unpredictable elements in our environment. Just a few squirts onto your hands cleans the skin and helps the body manage minor wounds, including scrapes and cuts, minor burns, rashes, insect bites, dry skin and other skin conditions. Be sure to add a bottle to your supply list this year. Put a bottle in their backpack and give one to a new teacher!

Now through August 31, you can buy a bundle of three 2 oz. bottles of Skin Defense for only $24.95; 10 PV.*  Contact Sales Support at livepure.com or 866-535-5888 to order.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCI), the ingredient in Skin Defense, is a naturally occurring chemical that our white blood cells produce every day.

What’s really nice is that, unlike alcohol-based hand sanitizers that dry your skin, Skin Defense hydrates. It’s natural, environmentally safe and non-toxic. It is also antibiotic-, steroid- and alcohol-free. It will not irritate sensitive skin and it does not burn. Use frequently on children, especially those who are active in sports, or who come into contact with dirty surfaces.

  • Higher concentration of HOCI than similar products
  • FDA cleared

The next generation in silver technology

Silver is another product by PURE that is safe for kids age 12 years and up. This liquid spray contains  a patented SilverSol, nano-particle formulation, meaning that the particles are even smaller than colloidal particles.

Silver has been extensively used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Romans and Macedonians all used silver to help keep them well. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, taught that silver supports health and well-being. Herodotus, the Father of History, believed that no Persian king would drink water that was not transported in silver containers. Throughout the Middle Ages, the upper class in Europe would use silver utensils and goblets to ensure safe food and drinking water. In America’s West, it was common practice to drop silver coins into drinking water barrels to ensure the water’s safety.

  • Mix 1 teaspoon (5 pumps) in water and consume up to three times daily.
  • Silver contains 10 parts per million of elemental silver and the only other additional ingredient is purified water.

Help keep that rundown feeling at bay

Immune6 is another product by PURE that is safe for kids age 12 and up. It works by providing vitamins and fortification needed to sustain health and well-being.* It can be taken daily throughout the year. One of the key ingredients, Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP-6), is a plant antioxidant that may boost the immune system.*

  • Excellent source of antioxidant vitamin C, an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and may contribute to healthy immune function.* Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron, in addition to being important for skin, bones and connective tissue.*
  • Excellent source of vitamin D3 that helps the body regulate calcium and phosphorous which contributes to maintaining bone health.* Research shows benefits beyond bone support including helping with immune system support and aiding in muscle strength.*
  • Excellent source of selenium, a mineral found in soil, which neutralizes free radicals and supports a healthy immune system.*

I hear the bell ringing. Are you ready for school? Don’t let the bugs get you down. Learn more about these products by PURE at livepure.com.

 

**Offer valid from August 13-31, 2018, while supplies last. Shop online or mobile only. Not eligible for Autoship orders. U.S. and Canada only.
