Solar Synergy™ is the newest addition to the Mt. Capra family of high quality nutrition supplements. This 7 part series looks at the several ingredients contributing to its potency and efficacy as a sports drink.

Last week we started the series on specifically why Solar Synergy™ is such a powerful sports drink. Although we barely scratched the surface of Solar Synergy’s potential, we made some good headway in at least understanding the need for a high quality sports drink. Solar Synergy contains over 20 bio-organic minerals and 9 superfoods but this week we are going to look at just one of its many functional ingredients: Sensoril®.

In a nutshell, Sensoril is a multi-patented, proprietary, standardized extract of the Ayurvedic botanical, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). But it really is so much more than just another ashwagandha extract. This mind and body supplement has a list of clinically proven health benefits that is longer than my arm. We will examine and explain 5 of them. For the sake of brevity, I will limit my explanations of each health benefit and open up the comment section for further discussion.

1. Sensoril® a Superior Solution to Stress

When the body is stressed, its normal state of balance, or homeostasis, is disrupted. This causes a series of physiological reactions along the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis which results in increased secretion of cortisol into the bloodstream. (Don’t worry, that part won’t be on the test) Cortisol is known as the “stress hormone” because it produces a wide range of stress-related symptoms. Sensoril® is an optimal ingredient in Solar Synergy™ because it lowers cortisol levels in the body thus relieving stress. This was demonstrated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in which the level of serum cortisol dropped by 24.2% in subjects taking Sensoril®. Interesting thing about this is that those taking the placebo saw their cortisol levels rise by nearly 5% that is bad news for those on the placebo and great news for those consuming Sensoril®!These same subjects also experienced a 69.9% reduction in an overall measure of stress-related symptoms. Bottom line is that we’re seeing some pretty hefty clinical data backing up the ability of Sensoril® and thus Solar Synergy to reduce stress in the body.

2. Sensoril® is Clinically Proven to Provide Healthy Energy

Solar Synergy™ contains the therapeutic dose of Sensoril® (250mg) which has been clinically proven to provide long-lasting, balanced energy in a safe and effective manner. This type of stimulant-free energy enhancement lacks the feelings of nervousness and jitters that normally accompany use of stimulant-based energy ingredients.

In the previously described double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, subjects taking Sensoril® felt their energy level increase by 79% with no negative side effects reported.

This energizing effect was accompanied by a rise in the subjects’ levels of serum dehyroepiandrosterone (DHEA), an energizing hormone that becomes depleted when people are stressed and as they age. Research has also found that Sensoril® enhances energy-related metabolism at the cellular level by increasing levels of ATP and other energy-related cellular metabolites that are produced in mitochondria, the cell’s energy factory.

3. Sensoril® is Proven to Enhance Mental Cognition.

Chronic stress and aging are associated with decreased brain activity due to altered neurotransmitter levels, inhibition of neural connections, and even neuron death caused by high cortisol levels and free radical-induced oxidative damage. Parts of the brain like the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, which are associated with memory and concentration, are particularly vulnerable to stress and aging-induced damage.

Sensoril® has been clinically proven to significantly reduce forgetfulness and the inability to concentrate.

Its ability to enhance cognitive function in this way is caused by the extraordinary, multifunctional properties of Sensoril’s withanolide glycoside bioactives. They raise levels of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter associated with memory in the hippocampus, by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that degrades acetylcholine. Through their cortisol-inhibiting properties, Sensoril® bioactives protect parts of the brain that are vulnerable to cortisol-induced neuron damage, including the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. They also reduce oxidative damage to neurons in the brain both by stimulating greater concentrations of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, and by neutralizing free radicals directly with their own antioxidant activity.

4. Sensoril® can Help Maintain Glucose Balance.

Increasingly, more people are having difficulty with elevated blood sugar levels, Metabolic Syndrome, and insulin resistance. Research is now showing that the relationship between heightened cortisol levels and elevated blood sugar levels culminates in compromised health as a result of the way the body responds to stress (particularly psychological stress). When stressed, the body secretes cortisol, which stimulates conversion of stored energy (fat and muscle protein) into glucose to provide energy that can be rapidly metabolized to bolster the ability to run away from a stressor or rise up to confront it (known as the “fight or flight” response).

In the double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial mentioned previously, Sensoril® significantly lowered fasting blood sugar levels in subjects by an average of 4.7%.

This demonstrates that it is a highly effective anti-stress and adaptogenic agent and that Sensoril® can provide blood sugar balance support through a reduction in cortisol levels.

5. Sensoril® can Support Cardiovascular Health.

Prolonged stress can contribute to increased blood lipid levels, high blood pressure, heart disease, and atherosclerosis, all of which negatively impact cardiovascular health. Sensoril® helps support cardiovascular health in several compelling ways.

In that same double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, Sensoril® significantly lowered blood pressure and improved blood lipid levels in subjects.

It also reduced their levels of C-reactive protein, an acute-phase protein that is associated with systemic inflammation and has been found to be correlated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Together, these clinical results demonstrate that Sensoril® enhances many factors that are associated with cardiovascular health.

The implications are clear. Sensoril is a powerful and healthy supplement to add to your regime. I use this ingredient everyday when I drink a glass of Solar Synergy. Shouldn’t you be doing the same?

Cheers!

Solar Synergy™ is the newest addition to the Mt. Capra family of high quality nutrition supplements. This 7 part series looks at the several ingredients contributing to its potency and efficacy as a sports drink.

The Problem and Solution.

In the vast market of sports and energy drinks most are advertised as performance enhancing or health improving in nature. However a quick comparison of various brands and it is soon discovered that they are not so much miraculous as they are well marketed. The fact is, these caffeinated syrups do little more than over excite the nervous system and cause an inevitable crash after consumption. Unfortunately for too long, the consumer has had to suffer from an over abundance of highly processed, sugar laden, sports/energy drinks. The lineup of ingredients in these so called performance enhancing “supplements” plays like a bad detective story. In each drink, the usual suspects are rounded up (sugar, sucrose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, artificial sweeteners/colors/stimulants, etc.) and yet each product claims “magical” performance enhancing benefits. The obvious problem is that if each drink is made with the same unhealthy ingredients, what real health benefits are there going to be? In all actuality a company can say all they want about their sugary caffeine water but I can make the same claim for a cup of stale coffee and we would both be on similar nutritional grounds (rim shot).

There are two functions of a sports drink (actually three but I’ll get to that in a moment). The first is to rehydrate the body from the effects of dehydration often brought about by mild, moderate, or intense exercise. The second, to replenish electrolytes lost by sweat and metabolic activity. Certain sports drinks handle the first function with ease because they’re composition is mainly plain water. However many miss even this simple goal by containing carbonated water which has been cited as causing a variety of health related problems. As a side note, I should mention that during my graduate research work, we found that on average around 80% of people were chronically dehydrated regardless of their level of thirst. Bottom line, you probably need more water.

The second function, that of replenishing electrolytes, is almost always either overlooked or executed poorly by the leading beverages. The discrepancy lies in the fact that the majority of the minerals found in each bottle are synthetic and exist in ratios not found in nature. For example, the potassium to sodium ratio should be around 3 parts potassium to 1 part sodium (3:1) but in almost every leading beverage I have analyzed the ratio is always 1:3, 1:4, and even 1:5. This is backwards and leans far to heavily on sodium chloride (salt) a substance which nearly everyone over-consumes.

As I alluded to earlier, there is actually a third function of sports drinks that, while rarely addressed, is absolutely crucial. I am referring to the role of antioxidants in combating the damaging effects of free radical oxidation. In a nutshell, free radicals cause oxidative damage in living organisms by disrupting a portion of DNA which then creates a new free radical. These two free radicals will then disrupt more DNA creating more free radicals, fueling a vicious cycle. The bad news is that this DNA damage is often at the root of sickness, aging, and cancer. Even worse news is that oxidation happens all the time and is difficult to avoid. But perhaps the worst news, especially for athletes, is that exercise (yes life extending exercise) creates massive amounts of free radical in the form of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). As exercise frequency and intensity increases, so does the production of ROS. Obviously, I am not advocating against exercise as it is clearly a healthy activity. However, if we are not actively combating the ROS created during said exercise, we are taking 3 steps forward to 2 steps back.

Fortunately there is hope. Although healthy sports drinks are far and few between, there is one that addresses each of the three functions discussed above. Solar Synergy™, when mixed with pure filtered water, counteracts the effects of dehydration. It also replenishes electrolytes by providing over 20 bio-organic minerals and electrolytes in natural ratios (including a healthy 3:1 potassium to sodium ratio). Solar Synergy™ also contains an impressive array of superfruits which when paired with the aforementioned bio-organic mineral/electrolyte combo, provide an antioxidant synergy that is sure to give free radicals a knock out blow.

We have just scratched the surface of the capabilities of Solar Synergy™. Next week we will begin our journey exploring each of the different ingredients and how they enhance performance, recovery, and overall wellness. Until then…

Cheers!

How many of you have heard the General Mills claim that Cheerios are heart healthy? Actually it would kind of hard to miss such a claim when the popular cereal box has a heart shaped cereal bowl as well as blatant claims for its cholesterol lowering abilities. Now I am all for product claims that are legitimate and well founded and Cheerios has in fact been found to help lower cholesterol because of the soluble fiber found in oats. Recently, the FDA, acting predictably, issued a statement against General Mills, criticizing the cholesterol lowering claim as reserved solely for drugs. Apparently in the bizarre world of the FDA, the only substances that lower cholesterol are pure, sweet pharmaceuticals. Anyway, General Mills got slapped on the hand and as a result, they have removed their cholesterol lowering claim. Now as I said previously, I am all for legitimate product claims, so it strikes me as odd that Cheerios is still touting heart health. Here’s why.

Pop Quiz: If I showed you this bag of salty potato chips and this bowl of cheerios, which would you guess has more salt? The chips right? Wrong, the bag of chips has a “mere” 160 mg of sodium per 1 oz while Cheerios have just shy of 200 mg of sodium per 1 oz serving!

What is going on here? How can a company claim heart health on one aspect of their product and have another aspect go completely against heart health. This would be like Snickers claiming their candy bar was heart healthy because of certain good fats found in peanuts. It just doesn’t work.

Sodium as you know is highly correlated with hypertension aka high blood pressure and for over 73 million Americans, hypertension is a very real part of life. In fact, estimates put average sodium consumption around 6000 mg per day for Americans. This is far more than a hypertensive individual (or anyone for that matter) should include in their diet.

Now I don’t know about you, but I happen to love eating Cheerios and I would love to see them eliminate sodium from their breakfast cereal. Cheerios are made from oats and oats have 0 mg of sodium naturally so why not leave it that way. Join me in contacting General Mills and asking them to eliminate sodium from Cheerios before they claim their cereal is heart healthy.

Today, September 21, 2009, is World Alzheimers Day. Alzheimer’s Disease is a degenerative brain disorder that causes progressive memory loss and decreased mental function. Alzheimer’s is prevalent in the U.S. and across the globe and its numbers are rapidly increasing. In fact, the 2009 World Alzheimer’s Report states that 35 million people worldwide are living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. This is up 10% from 2005 and the numbers of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are expected to double every every 20 years culminating with about 115 million people  by 2050.

Although a large part of developing Alzheimer’s is genetic, there are some things you can do to lessen your chances of developing this awful disease.

Alzheimer’s Disease is thought to be caused by a variety of factors. As stated above genetic factors play a major role so the tips listed below must be applied with that in mind. Some people have much higher chances of developing this disease. Alzheimer’s is also thought to be caused/triggered by head injuries, chronic aluminum exposure,  and free radical damage. With these in mind, lets discuss 3 ways to avoid developing Alzheimer’s disease.

1. Avoid Aluminum.

You’re probably scratching your head right now thinking, “when have I ever encountered aluminum and who cares anyway?” When the  brain is exposed to aluminum chronically, Alzheimer’s Disease becomes more common.¹ Aluminum in consumer products is far more widespread than one might think. For example, antacids, deodorants, non-dairy creamer, baking powder, and table salt, all have aluminum as an ingredient. Wrapping food in aluminum foil or cooking in aluminum cookware is another way to be exposed to aluminum. Even scarier is the fact that the most likely source of aluminum exposure is through municipal drinking water. Some aluminum is in the water supply naturally and some is used in the form of “alum” to clarify the water. Either way, studies have shown that even trace amounts of aluminum can immediately enter brain tissue.²

2. Increase B vitamins.

In many cases, both thiamin (Vitamin B1) and Vitamin B12 are deficient in those suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. Both of these nutrients play key roles in neurological pathways and if deficient levels can be replenished, damaged caused by such a deficiency could be reversed. A high quality thiamin and B12 vitamin can often remedy such a deficiency.

3. Get more Zinc!

Zinc plays a vital role in DNA replication, transcription, and repair. Zinc also happens to be one of the most commonly deficient nutrients in the elderly population. Research has suggested that zinc deficiency is a factor in Alzheimer’s development.³ A good multi-vitamin/mineral will have ample zinc to correct any deficiency.

4. Up that ORAC.

Since free radical damage and Alzheimer’s have been strongly correlated, it is absolutely essential that antioxidants are included in the diet. In a previous post, ORAC values were discussed and if you recall, the higher the ORAC the more powerful the neutralizing effect on the nasty free radical. Get your high ORAC from fruits and vegetables and vitamin C and E.

These are four simple tips that may help reduce the likelihood that Alzheimer’s Disease develops. As always, everyone should talk to their doctor before starting a new supplement/lifestyle alteration. World Alzheimer’s Day is a day to remember those suffering from this disease so why not stop by their website and tell them hello.

To your health!

Eating chocolate has long been a guilty pleasure for many. However, recent research has been continually showing that chocolate is more than just a tasty treat. Although the majority of research has focused on the antioxidant based health properties of chocolate, a new study published by The Journal of Internal Medicine has found a different reason to head to the candy store.

This cohort study, based in Stockholm Sweden, considered the chocolate consumption of 1169 non-diabetic patients who had been recently hospitalized with a heart attack. Over the next 8 years, as the patients were followed, it was discovered that those who consumed the most chocolate, had lower risks of dying from further heart related problems.

In fact, the consistency of which chocolate was eaten played a major role in protecting these patients. For those who ate chocolate only once a month, the risk was lowered by only 27% (still not bad though). For those who ate chocolate once per week, their risk of dying from heart related problems dropped 44%. And finally, for those who ate chocolate two or more times per week, the study reports that their risk was lowered by an astounding 66%!

But before you reach for the Snickers, remember this chocolate rule of thumb: the darker the chocolate, the healthier the chocolate.

This is true for two reasons. First, dark chocolate contains more cocoa which is the compound that contains the flavonoids, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds that make chocolate healthy. Second, milk chocolate and white chocolate are loaded up with far more sugar. While this makes the it sweeter, it also makes it less healthy. So if you want to start enjoying the benefits of chocolate, I recommend choosing a chocolate bar that is at least a 60% cocoa. Remember, the higher cocoa percentage you can stand, (85% and up tends to be quite bitter) the healthier the effects will be for you life.

So eat you chocolate and don’t make me tell you twice!

As you read this, your body is waging an endless war against silent and invisible assassins. These assassins aren’t a new strain of swine flu, they haven’t caused any widespread panic, and no amount of antibiotics or vaccines will get rid of them. They are free radicals and they, and the oxidative damage they cause, are here to stay. Every single human on God’s green earth is engaged in this battle and the consequences of this war are linked with diabetes, hypertension, cancer and many other disease states. These microscopic hit-men (free radicals) are infinitesimally small and are continuously attacking and destroying the very foundation of our living cells, our DNA. Free radical oxidation happens everyday; when we eat, when we work, and especially when we exercise.

Free radicals cause oxidative damage and although they are invisible to the human eye, their effects can be noticed in mere minutes. Find an apple, cut it in half, then wait and within moments, oxygen molecules will attack the flesh of the apple, cause oxidative damage, and cause the apple to turn brown. In living organisms, this occurs as well. There is often a chain reaction wherein one free radical disrupts a portion of DNA which creates a new free radical. These two free radicals will then create more free radicals, fueling a vicious cycle.

So is there any hope? What can we possibly do to slow or prevent the role of free radical induced oxidative damage? First, there are some things to avoid. Although total elimination of oxidative damage is impossible, there are many lifestyle practices that if engaged in will increase damage. Some practices that speed up free radical oxidative damage are smoking, eating charred/fried foods, and overexposure to ultra-violet (UV) light, (ie sun/tanning bed). Merely avoiding these practices is an excellent way to slow down oxidative damage.

But should we really only play defense when it comes to our health? As the adage goes, “the best defense, is a good offense” and that is exactly the position we need to take to combat oxidative damage. Free radicals have a veritable foe in the oxidation war, they are called, you guessed it, antioxidants. Let’s go back to the apple analogy from earlier and instead of having the apple merely “avoid” unhealthy practices like smoking and extreme UV exposure, let’s have the apple take the offense. We will douse the apple slice with a potent antioxidant such as lemon juice and then wait for oxidation to occur. We had better have a good book to read because it is going to be a lot longer wait than before. The lemon juice is packed with ascorbic acid, (aka vitamin C) which prevents the apple from oxidizing. Vitamin C is only one of a long list of antioxidants. Others include vitamin A, vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, glutathione, and astaxanthin. There is a much longer list than just these few, and all of these antioxidants are working to neutralize the damaging effects of oxidation. Antioxidants are literal life savers because if we didn’t have these “good guys” in our system, free radical oxidation (the bad guys) would kill us in a matter of days. It is really that crucial!

Now that we’ve got the background, let’s hear some bad news. Oxidation happens all the time. Sometimes we can avoid it, sometimes we can’t. Exercise is an area where we just can’t avoid oxidation. Free radical damage will happen if and when you exercise. But as we all know, exercise is a cornerstone of health and therefore it is an interesting juxtaposition that exercise can actually induce a life shortening process like free radical oxidation. When we exercise we generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which function as free radicals. As exercise intensity increases, so does the production of ROS. The problem, as we have seen above, is that these highly unstable (reactive) oxygen species are directly responsible for causing oxidative damage during exercise. In fact, ROS has been shown to have a highly negative impact on muscle performance as well as muscle recovery. Therefore, everyone involved in a daily exercise routine must make getting enough antioxidants a priority!

The natural question at this point is “what foods have the most antioxidants?” and the answer is, “those foods with a high ORAC value.” The ORAC value stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is based on how many free radicals a specific food can absorb or neutralize. So, if a cucumber has an ORAC value of 214 and a yellow bell pepper has an ORAC value of 694 then the bell pepper has the capacity to absorb three times more free radicals than the cucumber. The higher the ORAC, the higher the antioxidant power. Simple enough.

Mt. Capra’s SOLAR ENERGY™ is the perfect choice for athletes and non-athletes who are looking for a sports recovery drink that not only refuels their electrolyte stores but also delivers an antioxidant knock-out blow to the destructive force of oxidation. SOLAR ENERGY™ contains a proprietary blend of superfoods, antioxidants, and electrolytes, the primary being Capra Mineral Whey.™

Intense exercise will always produce free radical oxidation as well as diminish the body of crucial electrolytes such as sodium, chloride, and potassium. The Capra Mineral Whey™ that is found in SOLAR ENERGY™ supplies the body with much needed bio-organic sources of over 20 minerals. Remember that bio-organic, or wholefood sourced minerals, are key. There are countless sport recovery drinks that contain nothing more than table salt and sugar water and have no natural food sources. Mt. Capra has really taken SOLAR ENERGY™ to the next level by insisting all their electrolytes/antioxidants, have a natural food source. Along with supplying key minerals/electrolytes, SOLAR ENERGY™ contains such superfoods as goji berries, wild blueberries, acerola cherries, and many more! These superfoods combined with the bio-organic minerals present in Capra Mineral Whey™ make for a powerful post-workout recovery drink. When SOLAR ENERGY™ is combined with Mt. Capra’s Double Bonded Protein™ the pair creates a synergistic muscle recovery duo that can replenish systemic electrolytes, fuel new muscle growth/repair, and stave off dangerous free radical oxidation

Chances are, if you live long enough or live hard enough, your knees will start to hurt. This is in some cases a natural part of the aging process and in others due to stress, obesity, or injury. Whatever the cause, Diana Kohnle just published a great article over at HealthDay.com that detailed 5 great ways to improve minor knee pain. We thought we would throw in #6 for good measure.

Here they are:

1. Relax.

Take it easy on your sore knee. Keep your weight off it, and avoid straining it.

2. Ice, Ice, Baby.

Ice the knee frequently. On the first day, apply ice for 15 minutes every hour. After the first day, ice it at least four times throughout the day.

3. Elevatation

Elevate the knee; try sleeping with your knees propped up on a pillow, or with a pillow placed between your knees.

4. Brace it.

Wear a brace or bandage on the knee.

5. Pain killers

Take an over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help ease pain and swelling.

6. Supplement your knee

This supplement is a favorite at Mt. Capra. We recommend utilizing the all natural bone and joint formula known as CapraFlex. What is CapraFlex? Well simply put it is a complete bone and joint formula. It contains naturally occurring compounds such as Glucosamine and Chondroiton from type II chicken collagen. Additionally included are whole foods, herbs and enzymes. But don’t take our word for it. Listen to what a recent athlete of Ben Greenfield said about CapraFlex

“As a Ben Greenfield trained athlete that is still pushing hard at 50+ it was tough making “excuses” due to joint pain and some injuries from the past that continue to nag at me even on my best days.

As I was “venting” about my joint pain during a recent workout under your supervision, I blurted out “is there anything that can help?” and you had an answer for me: “CapraFlex“…

After finishing that day’s workout it occurred to me that I might just cancel my order of CapraFlex because I thought I had tried every Chondroition and Glucosamine formula out on the market, joint juice, and numerous others, literally I think I have tried 20 different brands…

Anyway, the order came in and within 3 days of taking as directed my knee and shoulder pain were noticeably improved. In fact my knee is not “talking to me” as before every time I climb stairs.

Am I 100% pain free– actually no– but I am very close and must say I am so happy. I have made great progress so far this year, and now know I can continue to progress.

Thank you Ben and…

“Thank you CapraFlex!”
