The Vitamin Code™ Takes Multivitamins to New Level with First Raw Multivitamin with Food-Created Nutrients™

Recent trends show that health conscious consumers are going "beyond organic" and looking for the numerous health benefits associated with raw foods and products.

West Palm Beach, FL (Vocus/PRWEB ) August 22, 2008 -- Recent trends show that health conscious consumers are going "beyond organic" and looking for the numerous health benefits associated with raw foods and products. After three decades of research, a scientific breakthrough has yielded the first raw multivitamin (www.RawVitamins.com), a vast improvement upon vitamins that are heated, treated and often stuffed with food powders.

Garden of Life's The Vitamin Code

Garden of Life, Inc., (www.gardenoflife.com) a leading innovator in the Natural Products industry, has changed the way vitamins are made with the launch of The Vitamin Code™, a groundbreaking dietary supplement line created to change the way Americans take vitamins and minerals forever.

Unlike many synthetic multivitamins produced in laboratories, The Vitamin Code formulas are individually cultivated with their unique raw food created nutrients and Code Factors™ intact (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8rn6xGONZg). The raw vitamins deliver living enzymes and probiotics and are uncooked, untreated and unadulterated without added binders and fillers. In addition, the vitamins are 100 percent vegan and do not contain any soy allergens, gluten, dairy or fructose.

"We're excited about this breakthrough development because most consumers have no idea what they're getting when they purchase a bottle of 200 vitamins for ten dollars in the grocery store," said Jordan Rubin, founder and CEO of Garden of Life and best-selling author of The Maker's Diet and 18 other health titles. "People may think they are getting a bargain, but the vast array of nutrients and co-factors that are found in food--and missing from synthetic, highly processed vitamins--could be important for their personal health. The Vitamin Code delivers nutrients in a form that nature provides and that the body thrives upon."

The Vitamin Code features six targeted formulas: Vitamin Code Women's formula; Women 50 & Wiser; Vitamin Code Men's formula; Men 50 & Wiser; Vitamin Code Family formula for adults as well as children six and older; and the Vitamin Code Perfect Weight formula for those looking to effectively manage their weight. With the exception of the Ashwaganda used in the Perfect Weight Formula that is momentarily exposed to high heat, all ingredients are 100 percent active and have not been subjected to high heat used in some tablet manufacturing processes.

Validated by scientific research, The Vitamin Code is an exciting discovery linked to a Nobel Prize winner, a determined biochemist, and an escape from the Iron Curtain in the 1950s. Endre "Andy" Szalay, a Hungarian pharmacist, became interested in vitamin research when he sat in on lectures at the University of Szeged by Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, who won the Noble Prize in 1937 for discovering vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Szalay had a dream to find a way to provide mankind with vitamins and minerals that would not be isolated and synthetic but would be in the ideal form that the body could properly utilize. During political and military unrest, he and his family escaped the Iron Curtain during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956.

For more than 30 years, Szalay conducted painstaking experiments to find a way to reconnect vitamins and minerals to the food from which they originated. His relentless work resulted in the detection of nutrient-specific peptides unique to each growth organism that allowed for the proper uptake of nutrients. Szalay finally "cracked" the Vitamin Code and teamed up with Garden of Life to offer consumers the first raw food-created vitamins and minerals.

With a suggested retail price of $39.95 for a 120-count bottle, Vitamin Code vitamins can be purchased nationwide at national chains such as The Vitamin Shoppe (www.thevitaminshoppe.com) and independent health food store retailers. In addition, Garden of Life will be partnering with Vitamin Angels to provide vitamins free of charge to children, expectant mothers, and families in need throughout the world. Vitamin Angels (www.GuideStar.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing vital nutrition in the form of supplements to developing countries, communities, and individuals in need.

New Protein that Aids in Fat Loss

New Protein from LG Sciences aids in Fat Loss is now available at www.FitnessFirstUSA.com

Portsmouth, NH (PRWEB) August 22, 2008 -- Those who are dieting often take protein shakes to help retain muscle and to get a relatively low calorie liquid snack that will help curb cravings between meals. Standard whey proteins are helpful in this way but do have some shortcomings. First, they are high in cholesterol which limits the amount that can be taken. Second, due to the amounts of lactose in protein shakes, many consumers notice stomach upset and bloating.

Finally, what appears to be a perfect solution has arrived.

Lipotropic Protein, made by LG Sciences is lactose free as it is derived from vegetable sources - peas. It is also cholesterol free. Sounds like Soy Protein, right? Wrong! Soy protein is known to raise estrogen levels therefore having a harmful effect on testosterone. This is not the case with LipoTropic Protein. Also, this pea based protein causes no stomach issues, has an excellent amino acid profile, and is high in the essential amino acids that aid in building muscle.

Perhaps most importantly is the fact that this new protein can actually help burn fat. The secret is something called polyphenols, which are plant extracts that are known to help increase the body's own fat burning effect. Polyphenols can be found in many plant varieties, but some of the most potent come from tea extracts like green and black tea. These polyphenols are proven to help the body burn more fat calories per workout and to keep burning fat all day long.

This is the "holy grail" of all protein supplements, to be able to burn fat while promoting lean muscle growth and it is finally available. Lipotropic Protein is a new great tasting protein source from LG Sciences that delivers on the amazing promise to build muscle while burning fat.

Along with bodybuilding supplements, FitnessFirstUSA.com also sells nutritional supplements such as vitamins, accessories, books/DVDs, and light exercise equipment. "We try to provide a large selection of products to help maintain a healthy body at prices that are well below what you can find in a retail store," says Mark Taylor, one of the partners.

"We are excited about the new Lipotropic Protein. It is not just another product on the shelf. It solves a problem for many customers. It gives them a cost effective protein that will help build muscle, burn fat and will not cause stomach problems. When the product arrived we opened one to sample it. Several people in the office and warehouse had a shake and everyone liked the taste. That says something!

Michael Phelps' Frosted Flakes and McDonald's Endorsements Denounced by Child Obesity Advocates

Children's International Obesity Foundation, "Killer at Large", and National Action Against Obesity Implore Olympians, Professional Athletes, and Celebrities to Reject Offers to Promote Processed Junk Food Harming the Health of Today's Youth and Escalating the Child Obesity and Diabetes Public Health Crises

New York, NY and Beijing, China (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 -- As the saturation of Americans who are overweight is projected to reach nearly 100 percent by 2040, and with 30 to 40 percent of today's children projected to develop diet-related diabetes in their lifetimes, leading child obesity advocates denounce Michael Phelps' endorsement of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Cereal, which was quickly followed by his acceptance as being named a McDonald's Ambassador. They implore the Olympic gold medalist and swimming phenom to reject offers to promote junk food. As a role model and Olympic hero to America's children, Michael Phelps--and all athletes and celebrities--are asked to reconsider any connection to substances suspected as agents of obesity including sugary cereals, soft drinks, and other foods with refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, transfats, and high fructose corn syrup.

Children's International Obesity Foundation

"Public figures like Michael Phelps exert a major influence over our youngsters," said Douglas Castle, Senior Advisor to Children's International Obesity Foundation (CIOF). "Mr. Phelps is a superior athlete by any measure, but his judgment regarding the McDonald's and Kellogg's Frosted Flakes endorsements was either 1) ill-advised by his handlers; 2) the irrational product of too much blood sugar; or 3) a sad triumph of greed over good. CIOF believes that celebrities should think twice before choosing to endorse or encourage the consumption of any product which is inherently unhealthful to children, especially if that product is correlated to obesity, diabetes, and a myriad of dangerous conditions."

"Octagon Sports Agent Peter Carlisle is making a strategic branding mistake by aligning Michael Phelps to Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and McDonald's. In this era of escalating child obesity and diabetes, the last association Michael Phelps wants is that of 'junk food pusher'," said MeMe Roth of National Action Against Obesity (NAAO) and the Children's International Obesity Foundation. "While Michael Phelps may consume thousands of calories a day and burn them off through Olympic training, America's kids aren't so lucky--they're fat, sickly, and have little hope of accomplishing a single sit-up much less Olympic Gold. Kids are watching, and Michael Phelps' going for the quick cash of pushing junk food at the expense of children tarnishes his image similar to an association with cigarettes or alcohol would. National Action Against Obesity and the Children's International Obesity Foundation implore Michael Phelps, and all celebrities and athletes, to reject offers to push more sugar, fat, and hazardous calories onto America's kids."

The Children's International Obesity Foundation recently endorsed the controversial obesity documentary "Killer at Large" as a film that reveals the true story behind the many hidden causes of America's obesity epidemic. CIOF is working with the filmmakers on a November fundraiser screening and obesity awareness gala in New York City.

"As we set out to look at the causes of obesity in our film, "Killer at Large", we found that one of the most prevalent contributors to childhood obesity is the overwhelming amount of advertising directed at our nation's youth that confuses unhealthy food with messages of wellness. Michael Phelps' endorsement will undoubtedly influence more children to nag their parents for products that endanger their health so that they can go home, consume these products, and gain weight instead of becoming gold medalists," insisted "Killer at Large" producer Bryan Young. "This is unconscionable and we hope that Michael Phelps reconsiders his endorsement contracts."

As for Kellogg's, such sugar-laden brands are struggling with their images so they are investing marketing dollars in "exercise." Telling children to exercise rather than eat right takes the spotlight off Kellogg's role in promoting empty calories for kid consumption. For example, Frosted Flakes funds little league baseball, track clubs like "Girls on the Run", and the America Youth Soccer Organization--America's largest youth soccer league.

While the practice of celebrities inducing children to consume junk food is illegal in many countries, it's left to industry self-regulation in the U.S. Kellogg's recent promise to stop marketing junk food to the under-12 set has gaping loopholes allowing them to push sugary cereals such as Frosted Flakes onto unsuspecting children. The nutrition label reveals scant fiber and protein, yet 12 grams of sugar (equal to three teaspoons), for a modest three-quarter cup of Michael Phelps-emblazoned Frosted Flakes. "That's no breakfast of champions," said Roth.

The activists behind this stand against celebrity endorsements of unhealthful foods have two main goals for 2008: 1) Draw attention to the need for daycare centers to be 100 percent junk food free, "because children under five deserve environments full of healthy options, not marketing venues for junk food producers," added Castle. 2) Urge parents and restaurants to refrain from serving soft drinks to children. Soft drinks, along with some sports and energy drinks, are linked to obesity and diabetes, along with tooth decay, concentration problems, and osteoporosis.

On a larger scale, NAAO has 3 main goals: Expelling junk food from schools; eliminating obesity- and disease-accelerating substances from the food supply; and breaking the obesity cycle, while encouraging exercise across all ages.

VITAZEST� Water Brand Green Tea is First Third-Party Product to Display "Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET� Compatible" Logo

Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® begins licensing third-party food and beverage manufacturers to display special logo identifying their products as compatible with Cookie Doctor™ Sanford Siegal's hunger-controlling foods and weight loss system

McLean, VA (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 -- Dr. Siegal's Direct Nutritionals, LLC, the exclusive worldwide distributor of Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® hunger-controlling foods and operator of CookieDiet.com, today announced that it has licensed Boca Raton, Florida-based Triple A Products, LLC, manufacturer of VITAZEST® Water, to identify its zero-calorie vitamin-enriched Green Tea with honey and lemon beverage as compatible with Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® products. Under the arrangement, Triple A Products has added to the label of its VITAZEST® Water Brand Green Tea a special logo that identifies the beverage as being compatible with Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® hunger-controlling diet cookies and diet shake mixes. The product is also the first third-party product to be sold on the CookieDiet.com Web site.

"Our customers are clamoring for new food and beverage products and we're working hard to deliver. In addition to developing new products personally engineered by Dr. Sanford Siegal, we're now allowing manufacturers of products that are compatible with ours to indicate so on their labels," said DSDN president and CEO Matthew Siegal. "With zero calories, carbs, and fat, VITAZEST® Water Brand Green Tea is ideal for anyone who is serious about losing or maintaining weight with Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® cookies and shakes."

Siegal added that the beverage is for hydration and pleasure only and is not a hunger-controlling food intended to substitute for Dr. Siegal's cookies and shakes.

In order to be considered compatible with Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® products, a beverage must contain zero carbohydrates, calories and fat per serving.

"Everyone is aware of the importance of proper hydration, especially on a reduced-calorie diet. VITAZEST® Water Brand Green Tea supports hydration whether or not one is on a diet, and tea connoisseurs love the taste," said Dr. Siegal.

Dr. Siegal's program features his hunger-suppressing cookies, shakes, and soup which contain his secret blend of certain amino acids, the basic components of food proteins. He conceived the idea of a cookie-based diet in the early 1970's while writing a book on food substances that suppress hunger without drugs. In 1975, after years of experimentation on family and friends, he perfected his proprietary formula and baked it into a cookie. Acceptance by his patients was immediate and soon Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® was the exclusive approach to weight loss at Siegal Medical Group. More than 200 other doctors have used Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® hunger-controlling cookies, shakes, and soup in their own practices.

Dr. Siegal and his famous cookie are frequently profiled in the media. Recently, The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet aired a segment featuring Dr. Siegal and a mother and daughter who lost considerable weight together:

• The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet - Part 1 of 2
• The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet - Part 2 of 2

Although Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® has helped hundreds of thousands of people lose weight since 1975, the products only became available to the general public at retail in May 2007. Due to the immediate success of the company's Web site, CookieDiet.com, and its eight retail locations, the business media has begun to take notice. Dr. Siegal and his son, Matthew, who is the company's president and CEO, were recent guests on the Fox Business Happy Hour. Last Monday, Matthew Siegal was the subject of a column entitled "Value Added: The Cookie Diet Hits the Web" by Washington Post columnist Thomas Heath.

About Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET®:
Dr. Siegal's COOKIE DIET® hunger-controlling foods and nutritional supplements are available online at www.CookieDiet.com; by phone 24/7 at 877-377-4342 toll-free; and from more than 100 doctors, drug stores and other retailers.

No More Commercialized Diets nor Cookie Cut Programs, Medical Supervised Weight Loss Program

Dr. Caldron has recently opened the Week End Weight Loss Center for patients in the San Fernando Valley and Beverly Hills. These new clinics, featuring the HCG Diet, will be open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and is the only medical weight loss and obesity treatment center open specifically on the weekends in the region.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 19, 2008 -- Obesity is becoming an epidemic in the United States with increasing cases across all ethnic, racial and socioeconomic populations, and age groups. In response, Dr. Caldron, a Board Certified Internist graduate from UCLA School of Medicine, has recently created a new, practical approach for the treatment of obesity. The Week End Weight Loss Center was developed especially for the working class who are often unable to see a physician during normal working hours. The new clinic will be open on Friday, Saturday and Sundays, and is the only medical weight loss center open specifically on the weekends in the region.

One of the Week End Weight Loss Center's most popular programs is the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Diet. With the HCG Diet, a patient is injected with a small amount of HCG directly into their muscle on a regular basis. When the injection is used as part of a low calorie diet, those trying to lose weight can achieve rapid weight loss in a very short amount of time. "At the Week End Weight Loss Center we are known for the HCG Diet, the only one-of-a kind weight loss program available in the San Fernando Valley," said Dr. Caldron.

Dr. Caldron, who has offices in both West Hills and Beverly Hills, Calif., is also available throughout the week for what he calls the Concierge Weight Management program . This option allows Dr. Caldron to visit patients in the comfort of their own homes, providing a hands-on approach. This one-on-one attention is what separates his programs from other weight management programs throughout the Los Angeles metro area. "At our clinic we know the obesity is a complex disease that requires a variety of treatment options, no single treatment will work for everyone. That is why we take the time to listen and develop a program that will work for you personally," says Dr. Caldron.

As part of the Concierge Weight Management program, Dr. Caldron performs a comprehensive evaluation for each individual patient. Based on this information, Dr. Caldron creates a blueprint of the patient's current health status, and potential risks. This blueprint breaks down all of the factors for why a patient cannot lose weight including a low metabolism, genetics, or lifestyle and cultural differences.

After determining the specific factors influencing obesity, Dr. Caldron then utilizes his specialized knowledge and tools to create an individually designed program to fit each patient's specific medical needs to effectively treat obesity, including guidance on exercise options, proper nutrition, and lifestyle changes. Dr. Caldron's treatments also include everything from counting daily calories, nutritional counseling and health education, to liquid diets and a variety of natural vitamins and supplements. He also uses FDA approved medications when needed.

Dr. Caldron treats the body in whole, rather than simply focusing on eating habits. "Since obesity is a disease, it makes sense to treat it as one," states Dr. Caldron.

For patients considering other weight loss options such as "magic weight loss pills", Dr. Caldron likes to remind patients that there are no magic pills for guaranteed weight loss. According to Caldron, fighting obesity is all about lifestyle change and personal motivation. Programs promising overnight results can be tempting, but if it sounds to go to be true, it usually is. The yo-yo effects of weight loss followed by weight gain are physically dangerous and can often be damaging to one's self esteem.

Dr. Caldron instead recommends patients visit a licensed medical doctor, before choosing a weight loss plan. The benefits of working with a medical doctor to lose weight include being able to:

• Undertake a safe rapid weight loss program
• Assess and address health care issues which arise when individuals are overweight, such as high blood pressure and diabetes
• Monitor and adjust previously initiated medical treatments
• Receive appetite suppressant medication or other medications
• Follow the type of weight that is being lost: fat vs. muscle
• Accurately predict the amount of weight loss based on metabolic rate with advice from a certified nutritionist

About Dr. Caldron:
Dr. Caldron is a Bariatric Physician graduate from the UCLA School of Medicine. He has over 13 years experience in internal medicine and weight management.

Dr. Caldron is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (ASBP), and recommends that patients should always follow up with doctors who are ASBP members. This is the only national medical society that teaches physicians how to comprehensively treat the disease of obesity. Members must complete continuing education on Bariatrics every two years.

Dr. Caldron is also a member of the Obesity Action Coalition, which allows patient and advocacy to remain at the forefront of the fight against obesity.
