Anti-Inflammatory
Product Line

More and more scientific evidence points to


inflammation as the common denominator of practically
all diseases. Reducing or eliminating inflammation
should be at the foundation of all treatments.

Provita’s continuously evolving (non-steroidal) anti-


inflammatories are curated from the highest quality
sources, and is specially formulated to help the body
fight inflammation from joints down to the cellular
level.

medical terminology jumping off
the page: anti-inflammatories,
chronic disease, immune response
… It’s enough to make your head
spin! We know how confusing all
of this jargon can sound to non-
scientists, and we’re here to help.

THE ROLE OF INFLAMMATION IN CHRONIC DISEASE


WHAT IS INFLAMMATION ANYWAY?
We’ve all experienced inflammation. Short-term inflammation can be the body’s healthy response to injury or infection,
such as when we sprain our wrists or fight off a cold. Symptoms include heat and swelling at the point of injury.
It’s when inflammation occurs over a long stretch of time that it can be dangerous to our health. In fact, scientists now
believe that many chronic diseases (such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and even Alzheimer’s disease) may be
caused in part by an unresolved inflammatory state in our bodies.

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?


The good news is that there’s a lot we can do to control inflammation in our bodies. Eating a healthy, balanced diet rich in
vitamins, minerals, veggies, and healthy fats is a great start. Reducing our intake of unhealthy trans fats and refined sugars
is also important. There are also a variety of anti-inflammatory supplements.

CHOOSING A BETTER PRODUCT


Remember, always consult your health care practitioner to ensure that a supplement is right for you.
When choosing an anti-inflammatory supplement, it’s important to focus on the synergy of the ingredients—do they work
well together? The components of Serra-Plus are top-quality natural anti-inflammatories. The star of the supplement is
the anti-inflammatory enzyme serrapeptase, which is added at the highest level allowed by Health Canada. Also included
are curcumin, bromelain, papain, and boswellia.
Curcumin (derived from the spice turmeric), ginger, and black pepper are not just delicious in cooking—they’re also
potent anti-inflammatories. Bromelain (derived from pineapples) and papain (derived from papaya) are well-known anti-
inflammatory enzymes. Finally, boswellia is derived from a type of tree sap. It has been shown to reduce the inflammation
process by targeting pro-inflammation enzymes.
Combined, these seven potent natural ingredients offer a serious anti-inflammatory punch!

You may have heard about the
popular supplement Coenzyme
Q10, but you may not yet know
about NADH, or Coenzyme Q1.
Here’s why you may need an
introduction!

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

CoQ10 and Coenzyme 1 are related, but don’t get them confused. CoQ10 is an important antioxidant found in living
cells—including in our bodies, where it helps our cells make energy. Unfortunately, its levels decrease as we age. Those
with certain diseases, including cancer, often have reduced levels as well. NADH (or Coenzyme 1 ), is also involved in the
cell’s energy processes. In fact, NADH actually helps convert CoQ10 into its fully functioning antioxidant self.

HERE ARE ALL OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT NADH CAN DO FOR YOU!

1. Help fight Alzheimer’s


Researchers are discovering how NADH may help treat patients with Alzheimer’s disease—slowing the deterioration of
cognitive function in comparison to subjects who didn’t receive NADH supplementation. It has also been shown to be
beneficial for Parkinson’s disease.
2. Combat symptoms of jet lag
In a 2002 study, supplemental NADH improved symptoms of jet lag, including sleepiness and cognitive functioning.
Perfect for summertime travel plans!
3. Help fend off chronic fatigue
Chronic fatigue syndrome can be a debilitating experience for sufferers. A new clinical trial found NADH
supplementation to help improve fatigue in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Impressed? You should be! Our supplement NADH+ is carefully formulated with both NADH and CoQ10. Keep in
mind that you should always speak to your health care practitioner to find out if a new supplement is right for you.

eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, leafy greens, and to increase the intake of fiber and clean water,
while supplementing regularly with our potent and popular formulations, known to improve digestive
functions by reducing bloating and gas, by improving gut flora and by supporting weight loss and

it also signals the arrival of cold
and flu season. If we make simple
changes now to prepare for the
onslaught of germs, we’ll be much
better equipped to fight them off!

Prep for cold and flu season with superstar supplements


Lifestyle tips
The choices we make every day can help us boost our immune systems.
• Eat a balanced diet brimming with fruits and veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats.
• Get enough sleep.
• Exercise moderately. Regular exercise is wonderful for our overall health and immune systems, but keep in mind
that intense physical exertion (such as training at an elite level) can be hard on our immune systems.
Helpful supplements
There are also several supplements that may help us prepare for cold and flu season. All of Provita’s supplements are
made with high quality, effective ingredients. Keep in mind that you should always speak to your health care practitioner
to find out if a new supplement is right for you.

supporting properties. It may even help with cardiovascular health.
• Goldenseal: The active ingredient in this much-loved herb, berberine, is used to help inhibit flu viruses.
Marvelous mushrooms - they are amazing! Don’t believe it? Check out these spectacular specimens:
• Reishi: Along with a multitude of other benefits, this mushroom has antioxidant properties and is thought to help strengthen our
immune response.
• Shiitake: A recent study confirmed what was long suspected: shiitake mushroom helps improve immunity in humans.
• Chaga: Famous for its immune-stimulating properties, as well as potential anticancer properties, chaga mushroom is well-
deserving of its recent fame.

WHY DO WE NEED GLUTATHIONE ?
Nicknamed “The Master Antioxidant”, glutathione (GSH) is found in animal and plant tissues. It plays a key role in preventing
oxidative damage to cellular components throughout the body. As we age our glutathione levels drop due to genetics, disease,
environment, and many other factors beyond our control. It is a unique and powerful antioxidant found in virtually every cell in
the human body with high concentrations in the liver.
Glutathione helps prevent damage to cells caused by ROS (reactive oxygen species) such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid
peroxides and heavy metals. Adequate levels of glutathione in the liver are essential for optimal health.
Adding supplemental glutathione to your diet can be beneficial, however, very little is absorbed and cannot enter the cells intact.

WHY ENDOTHIONE™ ?
Endothione contains a masterful blend of ingredients that start a unique fermentation process in the gut, which produces bio-compatible
glutathione, easily recognized, absorbed and utilized by the body.
Through intense research and innovation, Provita Nutrition has established an area where supplementation can greatly benefit an individual’s
overall health. We feel this new addition to our Provita product line is a leading-edge formulation that will bring about positive change in the
future health of many people.

KEEP YOUR PROSTATE HEALTHY


INTRODUCTION TO PROSTATE HEALTH AND CONDITIONS
According to Harvard Health Publications one of the most common health concerns men have is about their prostate. Commonly it
used to be that men over 50’s would be concerned about their prostate health, but nowadays it is very common that men in their 30’s
and 40’s are experiencing health problems in this area. Prostate is an organ that sits right under the bladder and its biological purpose is to
nourish and produce semen, serving as muscle and a sex gland. When men are young the size of the prostate is typically walnut sized and
as men age, the prostate enlarges to the size of an egg as normal part of aging. This condition is known as benign prostatic hypertrophy
(BPH); when the prostate enlarges, the urethra is constricted causing urinary problems, such as: frequent need to urinate, a weak or
small amount of urine even though there is a rush to get to the bathroom and urinating more than twice per night. Most often if there is
pain when urinating this is clear sign of prostate inflammation or prostatitis caused by bacterial infections that can be acute or chronic.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and it includes all the above array of symptoms plus frequent pains or stiffness in the
lower back, hips or upper thighs, painful ejaculation and difficulty having an erection.

POTENTIAL CAUSES OF VARIOUS PROSTATE HEALTH CONCERNS


It is good to be aware of some of the influencing factors known to affect prostate health such as: family history of prostate or breast
cancer, age, hormonal factors such as low testosterone levels, excessive estrogen production, xenoestrogens and production of DHT
(dihydrotestosterone) from testosterone by the enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Other factors include: poor diet, lack of sleep, increased
stressed levels, high toxicity levels due to a suppressed and overloaded immune system and other emotional factors.
WHY FORMULA PROSTATE PERFORM FORTE WORKS
Our new and improved formulation includes more than 23 ingredients designed to work together synergistically for maximum overall
effectiveness. This carefully designed product not only provides potent standardized herbal extracts known to improve prostate function,
but also critical supporting nutrients for reducing inflammation and increasing antioxidant function. Masterfully selected, these are the most
potent, proven herbs known to support overall prostate health, and they can act far more powerfully when taken synergistically.
Get a brief introduction to our amazing herbs that can help alleviate and treat many of the symptoms associated with BHP, prostatitis
and prostate cancer. Don’t forget that prevention is key in establishing a healthy immune system. Always stay up to date with the latest
