Featuring DIOSIN, a natural DHEA precursor

           It may be common knowledge, but cannot be overstated in terms of  importance: your hormone glands – thyroid, pancreas, adrenal and sex – produce the chemicals (hormones) carried throughout your body to regulate such functions as energy, how you burn your sugar and deposit
           fatty tissue, how you utilize protein, maintain water balance, heart rate, ability to have children and even
           your moods, feelings, and attitudes. Also affected are your strength, appearance, weight, skin and muscle
           tone – and how fast you age. Basically, you may agree that your quality of life has a GREAT deal to do
           with the state of your hormone production.

           In order to produce these hormones, the body must first produce the “mother hormone”, called DHEA. It
           is the most abundant hormone when young. The body produces about 30 mg of DHEA per day at age 25,
           declining gradually to 20 mg by age 50, and to as low as 5 mg per day or less by age 80.

           Research shows that over 40,000 articles have been published in medical journals on the subject. And,
           although the media would have us believe that DHEA is controversial and potentially a problem when
           prescribed by doctors, scientists have concluded that without sufficient natural DHEA your glands cannot
           make certain necessary hormones. In fact, they relate the natural decline in DHEA levels directly to the
           onset of many chronic diseases associated with age, such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, as well as hair
           loss, osteoporosis, skin wrinkling, loss of strength and decline in energy. These are problems for men and
           women, but it gets even worse for women as they begin to deal with menopause. Further, many doctors
           who have conducted studies with DHEA believe that the debilitating conditions associated with aging can
           be reduced by increasing DHEA levels.

           As noted in a publication titled Amazing Discovery, the Fountain of Youth, Nutrition’s Newest Discovery –
           DHEA, serious research at major institutions has revealed that high levels of DHEA in our bodies may be
           the key to vitality, resistance to disease, weight control, and slowing down the aging process. Here are a
           few of the more interesting findings from the studies done on DHEA:

           ¨ Fat Loss without Dieting – Doctors have noted that DHEA is a very effective anti-obesity agent because
           it blocks the G6PD fat-producing enzyme. DHEA not only causes a reduction in body fat, it also enables
           the body to build more lean muscle tissue, even without exercising. (Exercise still has many other benefits,
           so keep at it!) While weight may not change, inches and the body’s percentage of fat will. In a 1977 study
           by biochemist Terrence Yen, it was found that when DHEA is fed to obese mice, their weight drops
           significantly even without other changes in diet or exercise.

           ¨ Memory Loss – Increasing DHEA in elderly patients appears to improve memory function. Research by
           medical doctors at the City of Hope Medical Center conducted on 31 elderly volunteers indicated that the
           volunteers who took DHEA experienced less memory loss than volunteers who were given a placebo. At
           New York University School of Medicine, it was reported that DHEA replacement therapy on mice
           resulted in better memory.

           Life Extension – The prestigious Harvard Health Letter published an article ‘DHEA Gets Respect’ in
           July 1994. The article reported that DHEA added to vaccines helped older test mice develop the same
           vigorous antibodies as young mice. Richard Hodes, head of the National Institute on Aging, called these
           results ‘extremely interesting and potentially important.’ Other studies showed that when DHEA was fed to
           mice it increased their life expectancy by a third. The treated mice seem younger and had a lower incidence
           of the typical diseases of aging.

                 Forty years ago an American chemist shocked the medical world by discovering a
                 compound in the Mexican wild yam that was virtually identical to a compound in
                 humans used to make several important hormones.

                 Why was this breakthrough so important? Because hormones play a vital role
                 in your overall health. Let's take a brief look at your hormone system.

                 Just beneath your brain is a gland called the pituitary gland that regulates the
                 hormone producing glands throughout your body. The pituitary is like an
                 orchestra conductor who, with his baton, regulates the tempo and sound of the
                 various instruments. The pituitary does this by secreting certain factors which
                 stimulate the glands.

                 In this case, the "instruments" are the hormone glands; your thyroid, your
                 pancreas, and your adrenal glands, and your sex glands that produce
                 testosterone in men and estrogen and progesterone in women. Instead of
                 "music" the glands produce hormones which are chemicals that are carried
                 throughout the body to regulate important functions, such as your energy, how
                 you burn sugar and deposit fatty tissue, how you utilize protein, your
                 water balance, your heart rate, your ability to have children, even your
                 moods, how you feel, and your attitude towards your family, friends and other
                 people.

                 These hormones can affect your strength, your appearance, your weight, your
                 skin and muscle tone and how fast you age. These include the sex hormones
                 and the adrenal hormones.

                 In order to make these important hormones, the body first makes an early
                 version known as the "mother hormone" called DHEA. It is the most abundant
                 hormone in your body when you are young. DHEA has been studied by medical
                 researchers extensively over the past 25 years. They have actually published
                 over 40,000 articles in medical journals about DHEA. The scientists have found
                 that your body makes about 30 mg per day of DHEA when you are 25 years
                 of age, but then the amount declines as you get older. When you're 75 years of
                 age your body makes only about 5 mg per day.

                 These scientists have concluded that without sufficient DHEA your glands
                 cannot make certain necessary hormones, They have also concluded that this
                 decline in DHEA appears to be directly related to the onset of many chronic
                 diseases which tend to occur as we get older -- arthritis, cancer, heart disease,
                 as well as hair loss, skin wrinkling, loss of strength and decline in energy. These
                 problems occur in both men and women. But in women one of the major changes
                 occurs when their ovaries stop producing female hormones at the time of
                 menopause.

                 In comparing the hormone system to an orchestra, menopause is like one major
                 section of the orchestra that stops playing. Obviously when one section stops
                 playing the music is no longer in harmony. The unpleasant feelings women
                 sometimes experience before their monthly periods, known as PMS, and
                 during menopause are the result of imbalances in the hormone system.

                 Many doctors who have conducted studies with DHEA believe that the
                 debilitating conditions associated with aging can be reduced by increasing DHEA
                 levels.

                 A clinical study on 242 men conducted at the University of California showed
                 that an increase in DHEA blood levels to 100 micrograms per ten liters
                 resulted in a 48% reduction in heart disease and a 38% reduction in
                 death rate.

                 Dr. Arthur Schwartz at Temple University tested DHEA in mice and said, "There
                 isn't any question, DHEA is a very effective anti-obesity agent." Other studies
                 also have shown a reduction of almost 50% in excess fatty tissue.

                 One large study on 5,000 women showed that all women with low blood levels of
                 DHEA, less than 10% of the norm for their age, developed breast cancer.
                 However, 100% of women with above average DHEA levels remained free of
                 cancer. Both human studies and studies on rats showed that higher levels of
                 DHEA prevented the onset of cancer.

                 Since the basic compound was discovered in the plant known as Dioscorea, the
                 Mexican wild yam, scientists have developed a way to extract it so that people
                 could take the Dioscorea extract as a dietary supplement.

                 When your body manufactures DHEA like any factory it must have exactly the
                 right raw materials. If a soup factory is scheduled to make tomato soup, it
                 may have carrots, potatoes, onions and beans, but it can't make tomato soup
                 without a supply of tomatoes.

                 Providing the basic compound as "raw material" may enable the body to make
                 more DHEA. Testimonials of people taking Dioscorea orally indicate that it is
                 useful in providing nutrients used to make DHEA.

  Diosin™ and Diosin 2™
 
               Forty years ago, an American chemist discovered that the
               Mexican wild yam plant contains a compound virtually identical to
               the compound we use to manufacture DHEA in our bodies. Since
               then, scientists have developed a way to extract this natural
               product so people can use it as a dietary supplement.

               DHEA stands for dehydroepiandosterone. DHEA is produced
               naturally by the body’s adrenal cortex and is the most abundant
              hormone in the body. In fact, it is the basic ingredient and
              building-block from which all other hormones are made, and is often referred to as the
              &quote;mother hormone&quote;. The body keeps a ready supply of DHEA on call to be used in
              the production of other hormones. This allows our bodies to cope with the different circumstances
              and stimuli of our day-to-day lives. The more DHEA there is in the body, the more other hormones
              can be produced. As DHEA levels decrease, hormone production decreases and health
              breakdown occurs with a wide variety of symptoms. Two things affect the amount of DHEA
              produced by the adrenal glands: stress and aging. DHEA cannot be obtained from everyday food -
              it does not exist there. As is often the case with synthetic drugs, manufactured DHEA has
              unwanted and unknown side effects.

              In an effort to supply the body with the raw material in the form of a dietary supplement that it
              needs to manufacture its own natural DHEA, Royal BodyCare® formulated a concentrated extract
              from the Mexican wild yam (Dioscorea). They combined it with other well-known herbs to
              produce Diosin™ and Diosin 2™.

              Each caplet of Diosin™ and Diosin 2™ provides 200 mg of a 10-1 concentration of Dioscorea.
              They are both formulated and coated to bypass the stomach acid and to break down where they
              can best be digested for maximum bioavailability.

              Diosin™
              This is a natural botanical blend which features the wild Mexican yam extract (dioscorea). This
              concentrated dietary supplement contains the precursor of DHEA, a natural hormone that is
              produced by the adrenal glands. It also contains the herbs Sida Cortifolia Concentrate (which
              includes naturally occurring ephedrines), Yerba Mate Concentrate (including naturally occurring
              caffeine), Ginger Root, Cayenne, and Aloemannan™ (which is whole Aloe Vera powder).

              Diosin 2™
              This is also a natural botanical blend which features the wild Mexican yam extract (dioscorea). This
              concentrated dietary supplement contains the precursor of DHEA in combination with a different
              herbal group, Ginger Root, Cayenne, Gingko Biloba Leaf, Astragalus Root, Milk Thistle and
              Aloemannan™.
