SPRAY VITAMINS from Your Health Solutions
WHY SPRAY?
Absorption – Oral Absorption is the process that occurs when nutrients or other molecules are taken up into the capillaries and veins that line the mouth. To do this, the nutrient molecules must cross the buccal membrane, which lines the inside of the mouth. Once across this membrane the nutrient enters the blood vessels, which drain into the jugular vein and from there they enter the systemic circulation, which distributes blood, and the nutrients it is carrying, throughout the body. This is a rapid process, taking place in the space of a few seconds.
Nitroglycerin is perhaps the best-known example. (The first recognition of the ability of a substance to cross the oral mucosa was reported by Braunton in his Gaulstonian Lectures delivered at the Royal College of Physicians in 1877)
In addition to nitroglycerin, there are numerous other drugs and vitamins that have been shown to absorb across the buccal membrane. There are literally thousands of published research papers on oral absorption (both buccal and sublingual) of vitamins, minerals and drugs.
Oral absorption is a simple concept – with massive repercussions throughout the health industry. Drug delivery is a highly active research field and in the next few years we can expect more and more drugs to be developed for delivery by buccal absorption.
Formulation – we have taken great care to create excellence.
· There are no artificial flavours or colours
· We use no sugar, starch, wheat, soy, gluten, eggs, salt, or dairy
· The product contains Xylitol (which is known for cavity protection and it is diabetic-safe)
· The flavours are natural mints or fruits.
· The product is suitable for vegetarians
Dosage - Each oral spray gives a precise, metered dose of product with every pump, which allows the user to feel secure that she/he is receiving the correct dose each time.
Convenience – The spray tube will easily fit in your handbag, pocket, or briefcase. There is no need to look for a glass of water to take a tablet, or to measure spoonfuls of liquid or powder into water, or count the number of drops under the tongue.
Bioavailability - As discussed by Srinivasan (reference 1), when referring to tablets, “Good quality is associated with the ability to disintegrate and dissolve". In the case of our spray vitamins the active components are already in solution or suspension; in other words, the nutrient is already dissolved and just waiting to be absorbed into your system.
Vitamin D3, for example, is an oil-soluble vitamin, so there can be challenges in developing a truly beneficial formulation. Our product, as well as being a fine mist spray, is also an emulsion, meaning that the vitamin is fully mixed with the water with which it is sprayed – this again helps the absorption and bioavailability within the body.
The container we use protects the liquid from light and air, keeping the ingredients potent, with a much longer shelf life.
Safety - Our sprays contain no fillers, like tablets do; therefore the chance of an allergic or nauseous reaction is nearly zero.

VITAMIN D3 ORAL SPRAY
Often called the Sunshine Vitamin,
Vitamin D3 is actually not a vitamin at all. Rather, it is a hormone produced
by the body when stimulated by sunlight. For various reasons, most people are
no longer able to produce the necessary amount of this vitamin. These reasons
include: living in a geographical area in which there is often little sunlight
available, using SPF products to protect against the negative effects of too
much sunlight, the current state of production, shipping and storage of the few
fresh foods that would naturally provide Vitamin D3, certain medical conditions
that preclude the synthesis of the vitamin, among many other factors. Although
some foods are now being artificially enhanced with Vitamin D, there are not
enough of them to provide all we need.
A few years ago, Vitamin D was thought to do nothing more than allow calcium to
be absorbed for good bone health. New research suggests that vitamin D may be
one of the best vitamins of all for your body as scientists have uncovered up
to 2,000 different genes roughly one-sixth of the human genome that are regulated
by the nutrient. That means almost everything in your body relies on it. The
problem is that most of us are not spending enough time in the sun for our
bodies to produce Vitamin D, nor do our foods any longer provide what we need.
Up to 77 percent of Americans are vitamin D deficient 1. Low Vitamin D levels
will result in your body working far below its potential. What's most
remarkable about vitamin D is the sheer number of health issues it's been
linked to. It affects cell death and proliferation, insulin production, and
even the immune system 2, as well as depression, heart disease, pregnancy
problems, birth defects, skin and other cancers, and multiple sclerosis.
Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus, is essential to a healthy immune
system, promotes cellular differentiation, is a potent anti-inflammatory, helps
regulate blood sugar levels, and helps lower blood pressure, among many, many
other things, including:
Alzheimer's disease
Autoimmune disorders (such as: Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis,
Macular degeneration, Psoriasis, Celiac disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Graves
disease, etc.)
Cancer (including Breast, Colorectal, Melanoma, Ovarian)
Obesity
Osteoporosis / Osteomalacia (weakening of the bones)
Parkinsons disease
Rickets
Experts are now urging the government to raise its recommended daily amount of
vitamin D for adults from 200 IU to at least 1,000 IU, often up to 4000 IU
daily

B-CALM Vitamin Spray
The biochemistry of stress is fairly complex. It involves the production and
release of hormones into your bloodstream that cause Cortisol to be released by
the adrenal glands. Cortisol speeds up the metabolism. At the same time, the
cells of the brain stem and spinal cord send a message that stimulates the
adrenal glands to secrete epinephrine that increases the heart rate, breathing
and alertness, ready for fight or flight. If this cycle continues over an
extended period of time it can have serious repercussions on your mental and
physical health.
The B vitamins are thought to help regulate the biochemical functions described
above, and in doing so may reduce stress, and with it the associated anxiety
and depression. In fact, many of the symptoms of vitamin B deficiency are those
that are also associated with stress: anxiety, nervousness, depression
irritability and so on. The three B vitamins most connected with the nervous
system, and that have the most effect on stress are vitamins B3, 5, 6 and 12.
VITAMIN B12
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin. Its role in the operations of our
bodies is diverse from maintaining the nervous system, red blood cells, and
energy metabolism to the proper functioning of our brain, heart, liver, and kidneys. It is, in
fact, essential for optimal health, performance, and wellbeing.
It is required for normal cellular activity, working with folic acid to create
building blocks for RNA and DNA synthesis and the synthesis of molecules that
help maintain the proper functioning of the genome. This vitamin also
helps the nervous system function properly and aids in energy production and in
fatty acid biosynthesis.
The body uses only small amounts of vitamin B12 to carry out these
tasks.
Vitamin B12 works with vitamin B6 and folic acid to control homocysteine
levels. Excess levels of homocysteine have been linked to increased risk of
stroke, osteoporosis,
heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
Vitamin B12 occurs naturally in meats and other sources of animal proteins
(it is not found in plants), and serious deficiencies are rare in healthy
individuals who consume a balanced diet. However, vegans, vegetarians, the elderly
or those who have had any kind of gastric surgery, may suffer lower than
healthy levels of vitamin B12.
Signs of Vitamin B12 deficiency
Deficiency of Vitamin B12 has been linked to:
Fatigue/Weakness
Decreased sensory perception
Neurasthenia
Diminished reflex response
Mood changes
Cognitive dysfunction
Amenorrhea (lack of menstrual flow)
Pernicious anemia
Potential uses for Vitamin B12
Research indicates that Vitamin B12 may also be useful in the treatment
of:
Obesity
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
Neuritis
Menopause
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Cardiovascular disease
Osteoporosis
Pernicious anemia
GOOD NIGHT ORAL SPRAY- Natural sleep support
Good Night is an oral spray dietary supplement designed as a natural
support for sleep. Good Night contains herbal extracts as well as nutrients
known to help promote rest and sleep.
Sleep is essential for a persons health and wellbeing, according to the
National Sleep Foundation (NSF).
However millions of people do not get enough sleep and many regularly
suffer from a lack of sleep. For example, surveys conducted by the NSF (most
recent data from 1999-2004) show that at least 40 million Americans suffer from
sleep disorders and 60 percent of adults in the United
States report having sleep problems a few nights a week or more. The problem is
that for most people these problems go undiagnosed and untreated. Lack of, or
poor quality of sleep at night can have serious consequences and more than 40
percent of adults experience daytime sleepiness severe enough to interfere with
their daily activities at least a few days each month - with 20 percent
reporting problem sleepiness a few days a week or more. Furthermore, 69
percent of children experience one or more sleep problems a few nights or more
during a week.
One of the tremendous benefits offered by the oral spray delivery system
is that it works quickly - no waiting around for a tablet or capsule to
dissolve in your stomach. You simply spray the spearmint-flavoured product
directly into your mouth and it goes to work immediately. Another great thing
about Good Night is that it doesn’t leave you feeling groggy in the
morning, which can happen with many of the OTC sleep aids.
Based on our customer feedback, suggestions for use of the product vary from

Z-MUNE ZINC ORAL VITAMIN SPRAY
Plus vitamins D and E.
A powerful immune system booster, with all the benefits of oral spray
delivery.
It is well known that boosting your immune system can help stave off or
shorten the duration of colds, however, what is less well-known is that the
mineral zinc is also important in the fight against colds.
Zinc is a powerful antioxidant mineral essential for many enzymes to function,
it is also needed for the normal function of the immune system and for healthly
hair,skin and nails. It is used throughout the body and is critical for
hundreds of processes from cell growth to sexual maturation and normal vision.
Zinc is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system
Zinc is a powerful antioxidant
Ensuring the healthy function of the reproductive organs
The maintenance of healthy skin and a good complexion
More Zinc is found in the human body than any other trace element except iron,
and is mostly located in bone, muscle, the prostate (in men) and the retina.
Zinc acts as a vital component in the production of enzymes and can speed up
wound healing. Zinc is found in abundance in shellfish (especially oysters).
Zinc is required for insulin formation and activity
Zinc is an antioxidant mineral, essential for many vital enzymatic processes
Zinc is needed for healthy reproductive and immune systems, for tissue renewal
maintenance of the skin and for healthy bones and teeth
Zinc helps maintain healthy liver function and releases vitamin A from the
liver

sore throat.
MULTI-VIT ORAL SPRAY
Multi-Vit contains 100% of the recommended daily value (DV) of vitamins A, B1
(Thiamin), B5 (Pantothenic acid) B6, and Folate (B9); 125% DV of vitamin D3;
200% DV of vitamin B12; 50% DV of Niacin (B3); and 20% DV of vitamin C. We have
also included a proprietary blend of trace minerals designed to complement the
activity of the vitamins.
TO TAKE OR NOT TO TAKE
Until recently, many doctors recommended multivitamins only to women planning
to get pregnant. Others believed that, in general, a multivitamin was necessary
only if you dont get all the nutrients you need from diet alone. Now most
doctors believe that taking a multivitamin is good insurance for all patients.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can stem from many things, including poor
eating habits, a very low-calorie or strict vegetarian or vegan diet, or
advancing age (when the bodys ability to absorb key nutrientsincluding vitamin
D from sunlight and vitamin B12 from fooddiminishes.) Others with special
nutritional needs include women who are pregnant, likely to become pregnant, or
breast-feeding; anyone with a disorder that impairs digestion or absorption, as
in after gastric surgery; or anyone with a chronic, nutrient-depleting illness,
such as cancer or AIDS.1
Vitamins are divided into two types: fat soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble
vitamins (A, D, E and K) are stored in the fat tissues and liver. When the body
requires these nutrients, they are transported to the necessary area within the
body and used as needed.
Water-soluble vitamins (including the vitamin B group and vitamin C) are not
stored in the body like the fat soluble ones, and need to be replenished
everyday.
Don't take our word for it. See what doctors, health care professionals and
scientists have to say:
Many of us strive to have a well-rounded diet, rich in fruits and vegetables.
Fresh organic produce is the best source for antioxidants and vitamins. Fruits,
nuts, vegetables, when included in your diet daily, helps reduce your risk for
cancer, heart disease, stroke and other chronic diseases. So, why do I need a
multi-vitamin, you ask? Multi-vitamins can provide your body key nutrients that
your diet may be lacking and can help prevent chronic diseases. We are exposed
to many toxins in our daily life and these vitamins can help with liver
detoxification pathways so that toxins are broken down and excreted in an
efficient manner. I recommend a daily multivitamin supplement to almost all of
my patients. Dr. Mundeir at Surat Naturopathic (9/7/11)
1. November 2007 issue of Consumer Reports on Health
Q - A recent magazine article about multivitamins said that taking them is a
waste of money. How do you feel about this?
A - That's nonsense. If you eat the perfect diet; live a calm lifestyle; and
avoid toxins such as pesticides, heavy metals, prescription drugs and
radiation, then perhaps you wouldn't need to take additional vitamins,
minerals, and other supplements. But we live in the modern world, and a strong
foundation program that includes a multi is a necessity these days Dr. Stephen
Sinatra (drsinatra.com) 5/14/12
If you've ever tossed from the fridge weary vegetables that never made it to
your plate, you're not alone. Despite our best intentions, healthy eating
habits sometimes go astray. So, nearly 50 percent of adults use a daily
multivitamin to pick up the nutritional slack in their diets, according to the
American Dietetic Association (ADA). Most dietitians favour improving food
choices over popping a pill, but they also understand the safeguarding benefits
of a multivitamin. "Food and supplements are not mutually exclusive,"
says Marie Dunford, Ph.D., R.D., the author of Nutrition Logic: Food First,
Supplements Second, who believes a multivitamin can "insure" you on
days when healthful habits slide. Cynthia Sass, M.P.H., M.A., R.D., (a
spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and an adjunct professor of
nutrition at the University of South Florida.)
I don't know a single person who gets their 2½ cups of veggies daily. Nor have I
encountered anyone who manages to consume enough calcium, whole grains, or
fruit every single day in order to cover the RDA requirements. Additionally,
even whole foods are not as nutritionally dense as they used to be. In years
past, foods where grown from natural nutrient rich soil, not festering with
pesticides, and pollutants from the air. As time goes on and the world changes,
so then does our food supply. It is no great epiphany that people need to
supplement with multivitamins. Multivitamins can be a vital part of your health
and wellness regimen. They can help prevent chronic disease including heart
disease, osteoporosis and cancer.
Q - But I heard that multivitamins could cause harm.
A - Riiight. Injecting an infant with eight vaccines simultaneously is just
fine. No need to concern oneself with the electromagnetic radiation emanating
from cell phones and cell phone towers. Fluoridating the water supply is a good
idea because it reduces the incidence of dental caries. Drinking diet beverages
loaded with phosphoric acid and aspartame is not a problem. People should take
statins and antidepressants as preventive medicines. Pay no attention to the
chemicals being sprayed in the air by unmarked planes. And corn sugar is peachy
keen. But look out for those multivitamins... they could cause some serious
damage!
