CATACADE - The ORAC Battle Has Been Won!

Catacade's ORAC score is an incredible 39,200 per daily serving! No one else even comes close! Most ORAC scores for anti-oxidant products range between 50-500 per dose. This means you'd have to take anywhere between 78-784 doses of a mainstream anti-oxidant supplement in order to get approximately the same amount of anti-oxidant fighting power in a single dose of Catacade.

Catacades's incredible ORAC score makes it the clear leader in anti-oxidant supplements. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities. Most reputable companies submit their anti-oxidant nutritional supplements to an ORAC test to see just how effective their product is in scavenging for and eliminating free radicals from your body. The higher the ORAC score, the better the product is at accomplishing this goal.

We believe Catacade's high ORAC score is due to our patented cascading technology. Catacade's ORAC test also showed it to be extremely effective in combating hdroxyl, one of the most dangerous types of free radicals.

If you investigate the product pages of most of our competitors, you'll find they claim to have high ORAC scores, but most don't actually post their scores. Trivani is not afraid to post our 39,200 ORAC score. Let the others fight over second place.

The Perils of Plastic

Did you read TIME Magazine's April 12th Issue with the headline article "The Perils of Plastic?" Much of this information won't come as a surprise to experienced Trivani users, but the article referred to yet more studies which have revealed the dangerous effects our chemical body burdens are having on our children.

Some key points from the article...

"A recent biomonitoring survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found traces of 212 environmental chemicals in Americans — including toxic metals like arsenic and cadmium, pesticides, flame retardants and even perchlorate, an ingredient in rocket fuel."

"Chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates — key ingredients in modern plastics — may disrupt the delicate endocrine system, leading to developmental problems. A host of modern ills that have been rising unchecked for a generation — obesity, diabetes, autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder — could have chemical connections."

"CDC has found BPA in the urine of 93% of surveyed Americans over the age of 6.... But BPA the only industrial chemical in common use that may mess with the endocrine system. Phthalates — a class of chemicals used to soften polyvinyl chloride plastics, found in products ranging from shower curtains to cosmetics to intravenous-fluid bags — have been shown to disrupt hormones in animals and have been linked to reduced sperm counts and other marks of feminization in male rodents."

"Certain substances — including BPA and some phthalates — seem to be able to switch in vitro cells from becoming connective tissue to becoming fat cells, and a 2009 study from Belgium found that children exposed to higher levels of toxic chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) before birth were fatter than those who had lower exposure."

This article is a MUST-READ for anyone who is still sitting on the fence about their decision to switch to safe, phthalate and paraben-free products.

Happy Earth Day!

As a user of Trivani products, you can feel good about the products you use. Trivani's formulas contain no ingredients that harm the environment and neither do our containers.

Many Trivani products are made from rainforest ingredients and purchased from suppliers who get them from indigenous people using traditional methods that preserve the land and the trees. For example, Trivani buys all of its murumuru extract from special suppliers who buy it directly from the local tribes—a process that helps remote communities gain income opportunities and strengthens local economies. Botanical ingredients purchased through fair-trade programs reduce the economic drive to cut down trees. Trivani's packaging materials are recyclable, and our production partners contribute a portion of their profits to humanitarian causes. So when someone asks you today, 'what are you doing to save the planet?' you can say, 'washing my hair, brushing my teeth, and moisturizing with murumuru."

Trivani 287 Tea is Here!

Trivani's 287 Tea was officially launched Wednesday, April 14th at 7:00 p.m. The tea's name is a tribute to Trivani's 287 awareness campaign that warns consumers about the industrial and environmental toxins that have become part of our everyday lives. At Trivani, we urge people to protect themselves from the outside in by using personal care products that are absolutely free of harmful chemical pollutants. Now you can help your body protect itself from the inside out by drinking 287 Tea.

287 Tea supports the detoxification of your lymphatic system, blood, liver and other vital organs; it helps the body rid itself of heavy metals and supports the body’s fight against damage caused by toxins.

You can read more about the incredible health benefits of the ingredients, and about the 287 business building ideas by clicking here.

Ingredients, Features & Benefits

Sheep sorrel, Burdock root, Slippery Elm bark, and Chinese Rhubarb are the four ingredients of Nurse Caisse’s legendary formula. They are known for their diuretic properties and are used to support the body’s efforts to detoxify the blood and liver and support its overall well-being. Trivani’s 287 Tea has the same percentages of these four ingredients as Nurse Caisse’s original formula which she based on Native American formulations.

The Blazei mushroom is high in beta glucans, compounds known for stimulating the immune system. There are several new, impressive studies on this ingredient coming out of Asia. (See www.PubMed.com to read studies about the benefits of this single ingredient.) Trivani is one of the first companies in the world to use this ingredient.

Fo Ti, also known as Polygonum Multiflorum, supports all of the glands in the body’s endocrine system: the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus, the thyroid glands, adrenal glands, sex glands, thymus, and the pineal gland. These glands regulate just about every function in the body including our growth and hormones.

Dandelion root has traditionally been used to support kidney health, reduce swelling, ease digestive disorders and improve the body’s elimination processes.

New evidence indicates that Gingko Biloba supports blood flow to the brain, improving circulation by dilating the blood vessels and reducing the stickiness of blood platelets. Gingko Biloba is adaptogenic which means this ingredient adjusts to benefit each person individually. Gingko leaves also contain flavonoids and terpenoids believed to have strong antioxidant properties.

“Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.” –Official FDA statement

Star anise contains components used in Tamiflu®. It also has a delicious flavor.

A Little Secret to Trivani's Hydrating Lotion...

Those who have tried Trivani’s Hydrating Lotion know of its ability to make skin softer, smoother, and younger-looking. But how does it work? One active ingredient in particular helps to make our lotion as effective as it is: hyaluronic acid.
Hyalruonic acid (a.k.a. sodium hyaluronate) is a key structural component that occurs naturally in the skin. In the dermis, hyaluronic acid functions as a space-filling, cell-protective molecule that provides structure and volume. As we age, the amount of natural hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to dermal dehydration and wrinkle formation.

In the past and even today, many creams and lotions claim to contain hyaluronic acid—and indeed they do. However, most of these products contain a very large molecular weight version of hyaluronic acid that, instead of penetrating skin, functions as a humectant on top of the skin. For topically applied hyaluronic acid to provide any real structural effect, it must penetrate the skin.

Today, the substance of choice to diminish wrinkles is non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. The best known brands of NASHA are Restylane, Captique, and Juvider, which are all administered via injection by plastic surgeons. Trivani Hydrating Lotion offers a safe, effective, and painless alternative to this because it contains a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid that penetrates all layers of the epidermis within 30 minutes of application.

This type of hyaluronic acid is what you can find in Trivani’s Hydrating Lotion. This incredible, penetrating ingredient has excellent moisturizing and plumping benefits for your skin, which results in that soft, smooth, healthy skin you have come to know and love!

How Much Lutein is in the Greater Vision Product?

This article is reprinted from "Ask the Expert" by Dan Mizer, Chief Science Officer of Trivani. It is interesting to see a piece of the research that went into the Greater Vision formula.

ASK THE EXPERT:
How Much Lutein Is in the Greater Vision Product?

Answer:

Trivani uses an efficacious concentration of lutein in its Greater Vision formula. What does “efficacious” mean, you ask? While we don’t release the exact formulas of our products to the public, we guarantee that we use effective amounts of all ingredients in Greater Vision and in all of our products. In fact, Trivani uses at least as much, if not more, than studies suggest is needed to achieve desired results. Then we blend those ingredients with other quality ingredients that support health from several angles, again, all at efficacious doses.

So how much lutein is necessary to create a truly effective product? The study below shows test subjects’ vision improving with a lutein supplement with 10 mg of FloraGLO Lutein. Suffice it to say, Greater Vision contains more than 10 mg. Read the study below to learn how effective a vision supplement with an “efficacious” amount of lutein, like Greater Vision, can be.

Visual Function Studies
The following is a listing of clinical studies that show positive relationships between FloraGLO Lutein supplementation and visual function, including those affected by age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease that is the leading cause of blindness in the Western world (3):
Dr. Stuart Richer from the Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center in North Chicago and colleagues published the results of the Lutein Antioxidant Supplementation Trial (LAST) in the journal “Optometry.” In this double-masked, placebo-controlled trial, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients were supplemented for 12 months with either 10 mg FloraGLO Lutein, and antioxidant nutritional supplement which also contained 10 mg FloraGLO Lutein, or placebo (21). Ophthalmic testing, including macular pigment optical density (MPOD), glare recovery, near and distance visual acuity, and contrast sensitivity, was conducted at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 months. Activities of daily living, night driving, and glare recovery symptoms were evaluated on a VFQ-14 rating scale used by the National Eye Institute. Similarly, subjects were provided with an Amsler grid to monitor changes in vision over time.

Results:
In this study, AMD patients experienced a significant increase in MPOD after FloraGLO Lutein supplementation alone or together with other antioxidants (36 and 43% respectively; p=0.03 between baseline and final visit). Glare recovery, contrast sensitivity, visual acuity, quality of vision, and visual function over time also improved in both groups receiving FloraGLO Lutein supplements. The authors conclude that the improvements seen in this study may be due to lutein’s dual role in the body as a blue light filter and antioxidant. These results also confirm that AMD may be a nutrition responsive disorder.

Many companies, when formulating products that have more than one or two active ingredients, will decrease the quantities of each ingredient, often to inefficacious levels. Even though Greater Vision contains numerous active ingredients which provide a full-spectrum of vision support, each ingredient is included at beneficial quantities, and each one approaches ocular health from various angles. This is Trivani’s standard methodology for formulating all of our highly effective products.
