LIPIDS and STEROLS:
The Building Blocks for Every Cell Membrane
in the Human Body
To increase their shelf life, grains are subjected to about two dozen processes before they are transformed into dietary staples, such as white flour and white rice. Processing removes the nutritious outer layers of the grain. These layers contain the majority of grain's vitamins and minerals, as wells as "good fats" called lipids and seterols. Other foods, notably soybeans, provide healthful lipids and sterols as well.
In the 1950s, a series of studies conducted at a Southern California hospital indicated that people suffering from chronic fatigue could benefit dramatically from a mixture of plant extracts providing broad-spectrum lipids and sterols. Now, five decades later, that mixture -- GNLD's Tre-en-en® -- is still helping people worldwide. It forms the base into which vitamins and related food factors, minerals, enzymes, and protein have been added to create GNLD's multifactor food supplement, Formula IV®.
The world's first phytonutrient supplement, Tre-en-en®, provides plant lipids and sterols which food processing has stripped from the staple foods that form the foundation of our daily diets. Named for the Greek for "3-in-1", Tre-en-en® is a unique combination of concentrated extracts from whole wheat berry, rice bran, and soybeans. More than just wheat germ oil or soy oil, it contains everything naturally available from the lipid portion of the plants.
AREN'T FATS BAD FOR YOU?
When it comes to health, not all fats are bad. Some fats are good -- even essential. Fats provide energy, essential fatty acids, and cellular building blocks, and they have regulatory functions. For instance, fats are necessary for normal growth and development, especially for infants. They are also important to the structure and function of the nervous system. But most importantly, they make up the greater part of the membranes that surround each and every cell in the human body!
Healthful lipids and sterols from wheat, rice, and soybeans are "good fats". Certain lipids, including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, increase the fluidity, or " pliability", of cell membranes to help keep cells functioning normally. Plant sterols have a number of beneficial effects as well, including reducing cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of atherosclerosis, and inhibiting tumors. Both lipids and sterols are located in the bran and outer layers which are removed during grain processing.
NOTE: Our products contain no gluten! Wheat allergies are usually an allergy to the portion of wheat protein known as gluten. The wheat germ oil we use contains no wheat gluten. In fact, in the case of grain-based allergies, NONE of GNLD NeoLife products contain the gluten or protein portions of the grain that are commonly associated with allergic reactions.
