Xtra Benefits. A Naturopathic Physician’s Perspective

The Seesaw of Damage and Repair

The Metabolic Model was developed by Univera’s Chief ScientificOfficer Stephen Cherniske, and is described in his book, TheMetabolic Plan.

In this model our cellular life is compared to a seesaw, with damage on one side and repair on the other. The value of Xtra is that it works on both sides of the seesaw by pushing down on damaging forces such as oxidative stress (damage caused by free radicals) and adrenal fatigue, while providing key factors that support the energy intensive process of repair at the cellular level.

The average adult replaces more than 300 billion cells per day. This daily process represents an astounding potential for regeneration, and yet most of us miss this opportunity due to stress, illness, dietary insufficiency, poor sleep and a sedentary lifestyle.

Univera and the ECONET family of companies have demonstrated that with proper nutritional support, quality of life and the experience of aging can be vastly improved.

The following article is not meant to suggest a cure, diagnosis or treatment for any condition, but represents a scan of research-supported potential benefits of the individual ingredients of Ageless Xtra and Xperia (higher potency, all natural sweeteners, five more ingredients). Thisdocument has no official or unofficial acknowledgement from Univera at this time, and is purely for educational and research purposes only.

Univera products have become an integral part of my naturopathic pharmacy and at the lead are Ageless Xtra and Xperia. They have been received with greater enthusiasm by my patients then any products I have used in twenty-five years practice.

Ageless Xtra and Xperia address a number of the common causes and effects of aging by supporting repair and preventing damage. They do so by nourishing, restoring, fortifying/protecting and vitalizing basic functional units of the cell.

On the basis of traditional usage, supported by wide ranging research,including Univera’s own, third party, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials studies of its products.

Ageless Xtra and Xperia may help:

1. Improve mental clarity and focus.
2. Enhance cellular energy
3. Aid in joint comfort and flexibility.
4. Help the body’s management of stress.
5. Provide an exceptionally rich source of diverse antioxidants, as well as substances that activate natural anti-oxidant activity in the body.

• Supports improved blood lipid profile.
• Prevention of atherosclerosis.
• Heart and vascular protection.
• Prevention of cellular mutation.
• Improved stamina in both physical and mental performance.
• Improved healing time from injury.
• Enhanced nutrient absorption.
• Enhanced connective tissue/protein repair.
• Improved blood sugar metabolism.
• Anti-bacterial, anti-viral activity.

Let’s review some of the specific ingredients and their potential benefits as derived from scientific literature.

Cordyceps is one of the supreme anti-aging plants and comes from the fungi family. Cordyceps is a fungus that in nature lives on the larva of a particular species of moth in Tibet. It is now grown in specialized media that maximize its medicinal components.

According to available research studies, the following effects of Cordyceps have been indicated:

• It can reduce total cholesterol and triglycerides,
• lower blood viscosity (mild blood thinning),
• enhance the efficient use of oxygen,
• improve glucose metabolism by increasing insulin sensitivity,
• improve libido,
• enable weight loss,
• stabilize heart rhythm,
• increase the body’s ability to scavenge free radicals,
• increase overall vitality,
• and reduce the symptoms of several age related respiratory and kidney disorders.
• Cordyceps increases ATP production (in animal model research).
• ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell and is the most widely distributed high-energy compound in the body.
• Several ingredients in Xperia support the healthy function of Kreb’s Citric Acid (cellularrespiration) cycle), the basic energy creating process of the cell which produces ATP as a byproduct.
• Cordyceps activates Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) one of the most important free radical scavenging molecules. SOD dramatically decreases with age. Cordyceps is therefore a significant anti-oxidant.
• Cordyceps also helps inhibit specific brain chemicals associated with age related conditions impacting mental function.
