How can you help your cardiovascular and circulatory health? Just say NO!

If you're interested in your cardiovascular and circulatory health, then you want to know about nitric oxide. Although it's sometimes confused with nitrous oxide – the "laughing gas" anesthetic chemically abbreviated as N2O – nitric oxide, or NO, is nothing to laugh about, although its many benefits will certainly make you smile!

In the body, NO acts as a chemical messenger, transmitting and receiving signals that regulate cellular function. Although virtually unknown to science until 1998, NO is now regarded as one of the most important molecules for human health and well-being. In fact, it is widely believed that the state of your health is largely dependent on your nitric oxide levels, and research suggests that NO may be the key to living a healthier life.

In addition to its role as a messenger and regulator of cellular function, nitric oxide also works by relaxing and enlarging the diameter of your blood vessels, promoting healthy blood flow. When blood vessels are relaxed and properly nourished, they can retain their youthful flexibility and elasticity. As a result, the heart can do its job under much less pressure. The benefits of NO extend far beyond heart and vascular health as a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients supports the function of every organ and tissue in the body, including the lungs, liver, stomach, and kidneys.

So how can you increase your body's supply of nitric oxide? One way is by adopting a lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and exercise and by avoiding tobacco use. There are also numerous dietary supplements that claim to increase nitric oxide, especially those that are marketed to people interested in cardiovascular and sexual health. These supplements are invariably based on the amino acid arginine. Although arginine is indeed a raw material in the body's production of NO, oral supplementation of the amino acid or derivatives has not been shown in controlled studies to increase blood levels of nitric oxide, according to noted expert Richard J. Bloomer, Ph.D. of the University of Memphis.

Fortunately, there is a natural way to increase nitric oxide through supplementation, and that is by daily consumption of jiaogulan, the key ingredient in FreeLife's Jule of the Orient™. In an important Vanderbilt University study that was reported in the medical journal Nitric Oxide, jiaogulan's bioactive gypenoside saponins were shown in the laboratory to directly stimulate nitric oxide release in artery walls. The mechanism involves activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the body enzyme that controls nitric oxide levels in the arteries. Although nitric oxide works wonders when released inside blood vessels, it can be harmful if released outside of them, so it is very good to know that gypenosides were shown in an Australian university study to be a powerful suppressor of iNOS, the enzyme that releases the bad form of NO.

When nitric oxide is released in blood vessels, there is a measurable improvement in circulation, especially microcirculation in the capillaries that feed individual body cells. Using advanced Doppler laser techniques, FreeLife Scientific Advisory Board member Dr. Jialiu Liu, MD has shown that, within 30 to 50 minutes after consuming jiaogulan, microcirculation increases significantly. Developed by Dr. Liu and FreeLife's award-winning Scientific Team, Jule of the Orient is the premier jiaogulan tonic, so if you're looking to optimize your nitric oxide levels, just say NO. . .by saying YES to Jule!

GoChi to Get Patent for Waistline-shrinking Properties

The waistline-shrinking ability of GoChi®, FreeLife's proprietary, industry-leading goji beverage, has recently been affirmed by the U.S. Patent Office. In issuing a Notice of Allowance, the agency acknowledges the U.S. government's intent to grant FreeLife® a patent for its invention – an invention that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has determined to be new, non-obvious, and useful.

The upcoming patent is the result of a groundbreaking FreeLife clinical study in which GoChi consumption was shown to increase calorie burning and reduce waist circumference when compared to placebo-treated control subjects. This landmark study was published in the prestigious peer-reviewed Journal of the American College of Nutrition.

FreeLife’s ongoing goji research has yielded significant benefits, such as the increase in metabolic calorie burning and decrease in waist measurement observed in this GoChi study. In fact, it was these exciting findings that led to the development of FreeLife’s successful TAIslim Total Body System for healthy weight management. Several recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical studies have shown multiple synergies between GoChi and other functional food ingredients used in the TAIslim System. That further enhances GoChi’s calorie-burning capability, which is considered to be a key mechanism of effective body weight control.

This new patent will grant FreeLife exclusive rights to the use of goji (as GoChi, TAIslim® liquid, or any other goji-containing product) as a means of reducing the waistline. Upon issuance, the new patent will exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling FreeLife's patented method of using goji (as GoChi, TAIslim® liquid, or other goji-containing product) for reducing the waistline

“FreeLife is especially proud of yet another independent validation of our continuing commitment to cutting-edge science and human clinical research,” says CEO & Co-Founder Ray Faltinsky. “With multiple additional patents pending and rigorous scientific studies, no other goji or weight management products can approach the patent-worthy innovation or clinically demonstrated efficacy of FreeLife products.”

GojiMannan™ - The Amazing Ingredient in TAIslim® SKINNYs™

People everywhere are telling us how much they love TAIslim SKINNYs™. There's simply nothing else like these delicious all-natural chocolate treats, which our studies have shown can maximize your weight loss results with the TAIslim Total Body System. Taken with a glass of water between meals, SKINNYs gently expand in the stomach, filling you up and keeping you feeling satisfied for hours so you can avoid the urge for high-calorie snacks. I like to call them the treat to eat so you don't cheat!

The secret to the effectiveness of SKINNYs is a remarkable proprietary ingredient blend called GojiMannan™, a water-soluble fiber complex derived from the goji berry and the tubers of the konjac plant. You may not be familiar with konjac, but it's been used in Japan as part of a healthy diet for more than 2,000 years. Konjac is a great source of soluble fiber, but the magic happens when the tubers are soaked in purified alkaline water. This converts the konjac fiber into glucomannan, a substance with the ability to absorb many times its weight in water to form a gel. When you take SKINNYs with water, it's the gel that expands in your stomach to make you feel full. The gel moves slowly through your digestive tract, which helps to delay the absorption of foods that you eat. This helps to keep your blood sugar levels from dipping so that you won't feel hungry.

Glucomannan has been around for many years in a variety of grades, but the ultra-premium ingredient used in SKINNYs is markedly superior to any other. Thanks to the efforts of FreeLife's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Haru Amagase, we have joined forces with Japan's oldest and most respected producer of glucomannan, a company that has been in the business for more than 300 years! The glucomannan used in our GojiMannan blend is unique in that it has the highest molecular weight of any natural substance on earth, and that allows it to absorb an amazing 200 times its weight of water. It is the only form of glucomannan that is supported by worldwide patents, 14 safety studies, and more than 100 clinical studies. Those studies demonstrate: efficacy for weight and body fat reduction; cholesterol control; blood sugar control; prebiotic effects; immune enhancement; and bowel regularity.

One of the most amazing properties of the glucomannan in SKINNYs' GojiMannan blend is what we call the "fat magnet" effect. In laboratory tests, this remarkable ingredient has been shown to absorb up to 50 times its weight in fat or oil. This is important because if you can trap and remove some of the fat from the foods you eat, that fat will not be absorbed and turned into body fat.

GojiMannan also helps your body burn more calories. It has a negative thermic effect, meaning your body burns calories in a vain attempt to digest and absorb the GojiMannan, and you get the benefit of those extra calories burned.

With all of these amazing properties, the best news of all is that GojiMannan is exclusive to FreeLife. Thanks to the GojiMannan in SKINNYs, anyone can now get the most out of their weight loss efforts with the TAIslim Total Body System.

Weight Loss: Healthy or Unhealthy?

If losing weight was easy, nobody would be overweight. But losing weight is hard work, and that’s why so many people are attracted to anything that sounds like a quick solution to their problem.

Look on the Internet or on the shelves of your local pharmacy, and you’ll find a dizzying array of pills, potions, patches, and herbal teas – all promising to make you as slim as models or celebrities. From so many offerings, how do you choose? A good first step is to ask yourself this question: Is this product or program healthy or unhealthy?


If you choose an unhealthy way, you’ll probably gain the weight back after you finish the plan.

Here are some of the unhealthy weight loss methods that you should avoid:

ULTRA LOW-CALORIE DIETS. If your body doesn’t get enough calories, it can’t function properly. Your body will cannibalize itself by eating its own muscle, vital organ tissue, and even bone. Long-lasting consequences can include various illnesses, immune suppression, weak bones, brain and nerve damage, and even death.

UNBALANCED OR "FAD" DIETS. These diets are unhealthy because they eliminate entire food groups, which deprives your body of key nutrients it needs to function.

UNPROVEN DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. Unfortunately, the dietary supplement industry is not required to conduct clinical studies to support weight loss claims. The vast majority of weight loss supplements have not been clinically proven. They may contain ingredients that are of dubious value, even contaminants.

DRUGS. Diet drugs can contain harsh amphetamine-like stimulants designed to trick your metabolism into running in overdrive. When you stop taking the drug, you can suffer from withdrawal symptoms and you’ll quickly regain the weight.

LAXATIVES. Some people believe that laxatives can prevent absorption of foods that you eat. That’s not true. All the calories of the ingested food have already made it to the bloodstream by the time the laxative takes effect. The only weight loss from laxatives is water weight. The downside is that laxatives can be habit forming, and they can cause a wide range of physical problems.

The Key to Healthy Weight Loss
Science knows that the key to healthy weight loss is to eat a well-rounded diet with foods from all food groups, and to take in fewer calories every day than you burn. If you’re like most people, you’ve tried to follow this advice, but you just couldn’t stick to it. But now, there’s the TAIslim Total Body System. This program features easy-to-follow meal planning and healthy lifestyle recommendations, but the real advantage of the TAIslim System is its innovative, scientifically formulated and clinically validated nutritional products, which work with your body to make it easier than ever to cut calories and burn unwanted fat.

TAIslim® liquid utilizes FreeLife’s groundbreaking clinical science and triple patent pending formulation and technology to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight in four important ways:

1. Fights dangerous abdominal fat

2. Safely enhances metabolic fat burning

3. Controls appetite

4. Cleanses and replenishes your system

TAIslim® SKINNYs™ are delicious sugar-free chocolate nuggets that actually help you to lose weight. Backed by more than 100 studies validating the effectiveness of its key ingredients, a SKINNY, when taken with at least 8 ounces of water, gently expands in your stomach, filling you up and keeping you feeling satisfied for hours. A SKINNY acts as a "fat magnet," effectively binding and rem oving unwanted fat and cholesterol from your gastrointestinal tract. SKINNYs are also great for improving regularity and are the perfect alternative to between-meal and late-night snacks.

FreeLife’s clinical studies on the TAIslim System have shown significantly greater weight loss than with diet and exercise alone. And unlike unhealthy weight loss methods, you’ll lose fat, not lean muscle, with TAIslim. And, studies have shown that those who lose fat, especially around the midsection, can minimize their risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Plus, you’ll look and feel great!

So here’s to your health, and to finding and maintaining a healthy weight for life with the TAIslim Total Body System!

Study Demonstrates the Power of the TAIslim Total Body System

TAIslim® liquid has been helping people all over the world find and maintain a healthy weight by fighting dangerous abdominal fat, safely increasing metabolic fat burning, controlling appetite, and by cleansing and replenishing the body. And now, the clinically validated benefits of TAIslim have just gotten even better with the introduction of TAIslim® SKINNYs™. Now you can enjoy the pleasure of a delicious, sugar-free chocolate that actually helps you lose weight!


Scientifically designed to work together as a system, the combination of TAIslim liquid and TAIslim SKINNYs will make it easier than ever to find and maintain your ideal weight. To demonstrate this, FreeLife conducted a controlled human clinical study to assess the effects of the TAIslim products on two key aspects of weight management: hunger control and optimizing the body’s ability to burn calories.

In this chart, we show relative feelings of hunger after eating a typical breakfast. As illustrated by the blue line, those in our study who ate breakfast without TAIslim felt satisfied after eating, but their appetite rebounded by mid-morning. Compare that to the yellow line, which represents the people in our study who used the two products of the TAIslim Total Body System. As you can clearly see, TAIslim liquid with breakfast kept mid-morning hunger at bay, and chewing a mid-morning SKINNY drove hunger down even further, an effect that lasted until lunchtime or even longer. In fact, by using the TAIslim System, several of our test subjects found themselves eating less for lunch, and that’s a great thing for a weight loss program!


One of the keys to successful weight loss is taking in fewer calories than you burn in any given day, and as you’ve seen, the TAIslim Total Body System can help you to take in fewer calories by curbing your appetite. Now, as you’ll see in this chart, the TAIslim System can help your body to burn more calories, too.

At the start of this test, subjects drank a balanced 158-calorie meal replacement shake because TAIslim liquid works only if you take it with food. We know that the process of digestion and absorption of food burns some amount of calories, but you almost always store more calories than you burn. We wanted to see if the TAIslim System would increase the amount of calories burned during a four-hour period after eating.

Drinking the meal replacement alone (blue bar) caused a small number of calories to be burned. Let’s call that 100 percent, meaning that it is 100 percent of the normal amount of calorie burning that you’d experience after a meal.

Taking a between-meal SKINNY with at least 8 ounces of water (red bar) significantly increased the calories burned from a meal – a 362 percent boost. And that was without taking TAIslim liquid!

Taking TAIslim liquid at the start of the meal, with no between-meal SKINNYs, allowed the body to burn 438 percent more calories over four hours than it would have burned without TAIslim. That’s impressive, but the magic happens when both products are used in tandem as a system.

The two products together caused an incredible 838 percent increase in metabolic calorie burning over four hours. In other words, the combined use of TAIslim liquid and SKINNYs allowed the body to burn more than eight times more calories than it normally would. That’s the combined power of the TAIslim Total Body System!

Introducing the TAIslim Total Body System!

Since it was introduced in 2009, TAIslim® has been helping people all over the world shed pounds and inches to reach and maintain a healthy weight. And now, the clinically tested benefits of TAIslim have just gotten even better with the introduction of the TAIslim Total Body System. Based on sound science, the System takes advantage of the latest breakthroughs in obesity research so that you can get the weight loss results you want faster and easier than ever before.

At the heart of the Total Body System is TAIslim liquid, the revolutionary triple patent pending formula that gently cleanses and replenishes while it fights dangerous abdominal fat, safely enhances metabolism and energy, and helps control your appetite.

Our clinically validated liquid is now joined by a new addition to the TAIslim family –TAIslim® SKINNYs. This sugar-free chocolate nugget is so decadent and delectable, you’ll never believe it can actually help you lose weight. Try it, and you’ll agree that science has never tasted so delicious!

Taken with at least eight ounces of water between meals, the proprietary and patented ingredients in TAIslim SKINNYs gently expand in your stomach, filling you up and keeping you feeling satisfied for hours. Backed by more than 100 studies validating the effectiveness of its key ingredients, TAIslim SKINNYs can help you to reach a healthy weight by curbing your appetite, improving regularity, and by effectively binding and removing unwanted fat and cholesterol from your gastrointestinal tract.† If you’re feeling hungry between meals or late at night, don’t reach for something you’ll regret – chew a delicious SKINNY instead. With just 20 calories, it will satisfy those cravings like nothing you’ve ever tried!

The synergistic effect of SKINNYs with TAIslim liquid is nothing short of remarkable. Our clinical studies have shown that the combination of TAIslim liquid at the start of meals and SKINNYs between meals gives you double the appetite suppression effect of either alone. With such powerful appetite control, chances are that you’ll probably find yourself eating less at mealtime. That’s a great thing for your weight loss program!

The TAIslim Total Body System can also help your body burn more calories, too. In fact, the combined effect of TAIslim liquid at mealtime and SKINNYs between meals is astounding; in our clinical study, it allowed the body to burn 838 percent more calories than it would have without the products!†

Double the appetite suppression and increased calorie burning – those are two great reasons to put the TAIslim Total Body System to work for you. And yet, there’s another great reason. With the help of our latest Scientific Advisory Board member, obesity expert Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, we’ve updated our TAIslim Ultimate Weight Loss Plan and Food Plan to keep you feeling even more motivated and satisfied throughout your weight management journey. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the new TAIslim Total Body System as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it for you!

Cheers!

New Goji Study Makes International Headlines

Back in 2003, FreeLife® made headlines with the introduction of Himalayan Goji® Juice, the healthy and delicious functional beverage that started the goji revolution. Seven years later, Himalayan Goji Juice is still making headlines, thanks to exciting new research showing even greater promise for optimal health and wellness.

On February 1, 2010, London’s venerable Daily Express newspaper reported the results of Australian research studying the effects of ultraviolet rays on mice. It is well known that overexposure to the sun’s UV rays can suppress immunity, and that is what makes sun worshippers more susceptible to skin cancer. University of Sydney researchers set out to see if goji, a known immune enhancer, might be able to counteract the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.

The mice in the study were divided into two groups: the “Goji Group” was given Himalayan Goji Juice mixed into their drinking water; and the “Control Group” received either apple or pear juice in their drinking water. After UV exposure, the mice in the Control Group developed sunburn, which was accompanied by inflammation and edema (swelling and fluid retention) just like you would have if you had been a bit careless about sunbathing without enough sunscreen.

But what happened to the mice in the Goji Group? As reported in the Express article, “the inflammatory sunburn reaction was strongly reduced.” And this was with just 5 percent goji juice mixed into their water!

According to lead researcher (and FreeLife Scientific Advisory Board member) Dr. Vivienne Reeve, goji’s action is two-fold. It protects against decreased immune response, and it also increases the body’s antioxidant power so that it is better able to mop up the dangerous free radicals that are generated after UV exposure.

Dr. Reeve’s groundbreaking study will be published in the upcoming issue of the respected peer-reviewed journal Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, a publication of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Animal studies cannot guarantee identical results in humans, but they are an important first step. Dr. Reeve believes that “goji berry juice might prove useful in susceptible humans.”

About Vivienne Reeve, Ph.D.
An expert in photoimmunological research, Dr. Vivienne Reeve received her doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Sydney. A senior research fellow at the University of Sydney since 1989, she is currently a principal research fellow and chief investigator, specializing in research on photoimmunosuppression, photoprotection, and photocarcinogenesis. Dr. Reeve has published multiple articles, and was recently recognized for her pioneering and sustaining research into the immunological significance of the UVA waveband.
