ORGANIC WHEY PROTEIN
High quality protein is one of the most important nutrients
to consume throughout the day. Protein raises protective HDL cholesterol,
lowers triglycerides, improves insulin action, promotes lean muscle
growth, and creates satiety and blood sugar balance. Thunder is rich
in whey protein, which has the most health benefits of any protein
studied. Whey protein may increases longevity, enhance liver and heart
glutathione concentrations as well. Whey protein is rich in cysteine
and leucine, which support the detoxification of mercury and other
toxic metals from the body. Whey protein is also virtually lactose
free, and is therefore well tolerated by those who are lactose intolerant.
Thunder is nearly free of the allergenic milk protein casein, and
is often well tolerated by those who are dairy sensitive.
POTASSIUM
Potassium is a key nutrient in maintaining the body's
electrolyte balance. It may also help in regulating heart and muscle
contraction, aide in the conduction of nerve impulses and maintaining
proper fluid exchange.
CALCIUM
An essential mineral that supports the formation of
bones, teeth, and muscle tissue. Helps regulate heartbeat, muscle
action, nerve function, and blood clotting.
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium plays a variety of roles in the body. Not
only is it critical for energy production and proper nerve function,
it also promotes muscle relaxation and helps the body produce and
use
insulin. Magnesium is involved in the formation of bones and teeth,
the clotting of blood, and the regulation of heart rhythm. Magnesium,
sometimes taken in combination with calcium, is often used to treat
such ailments as back pain, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety
and panic, muscle cramps, and migraine headache.
VITAMIN A
Promotes growth and repair of body tissue, healthy eyes,
bone growth, protein synthesis, night vision, and a strong immune
system. Helps reduce susceptibility to infection. Essential for healthy
skin, blood, bones, teeth, kidneys, bladder, lungs, and membranes.
VITAMIN E
As a key anti oxidant, vitamin E appears to play a modest
but noteable role in protecting the body from many chronic disorders.
It may even slow the aging process and guard against damage from secondhand
smoke and other pollutants. According to test-tube studies, the tocotrienols
(al pha-tocotrienol ,specifically)appear to be the most powerful of
the vitamin E anti oxidants.
Circulatory disorders, skin and joint problems, diabetes-related nerve
complications, high cholesterol, endometriosis, immune-system function,
and memory are also believed to benefit from vitamin E.
THIAMINE
Maintains brain function (memory), digestion, nerve
function, growth, muscle tone, and a healthy nervous system. Necessary
to convert food, sugar, and starch into energy. Alcohol can cause
deficiencies of this vitamin.
RIBOFLAVIN
Maintains energy, hormone, and amino acid production.
Helps the body obtain energy from protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
Helps maintain good vision, red blood cells, and healthy skin.
NIACIN
Shown to improve circulation and reduce the cholesterol
level in the blood, maintain the nervous system, metabolize protein,
sugar &fat and reduce high blood pressure. Helps regulate the
digestive system and increases energy through proper utilization of
food.
PANTOTHENIC ACID
Necessary to produce important hormones, Vitamin D,
and red blood cells. Essential for a variety of body functions, including
the maintenance of a healthy digestive system, and converting food
to energy.
VITAMIN B6
Supports glycogen and nitrogen metabolism. Also necessary
for the production and maintenance of red blood cells (hemoglobin),amino
acids, nerve function and tissues, and antibodies. Essential for the
body ’s utilization of protein. Women taking oral contraceptives
may have lower levels of B6.
VITAMIN B-12
Not only does vitamin B12 help in the formation of healthy
red blood cell s (which protect against anemia), it is al so involved
in the maintenance of the myelin sheath, the fatty substance that
covers nerves and enables them to function properly. The body also
needs this vitamin for cell replication, proper energy metabolism,
and to create the genetic material in cells known as DNA and RNA.
Vitamin B12 is also of potential value in treating the effects of
aging and Alzheimer ’s
disease, as well as depression, the skin disorder known as rosacea,
tintinitus (ringing in the ears),and various neurologic probems. It
may also help to prevent heart disease and boost the
immune system.
FOLIC ACID
Folic acid is a water-soluable vitamin belonging to
the B-complex group of vitamins.
These vitamins help the body break down complex carbohydrates into
simple sugars to be used for energy. Excess B vitamins are excreted
from the body rather than stored for later use. This is why sufficient
daily intake of folic acid is necessary.
BIOTIN
A water-soluble B vitamin that plays an important role
in assisting enzymes that metabolize fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Helps in the transfer of carbon dioxide and in various metabolic chemical
conversions.
VITAMIN C
An anti-oxidant that helps synthesize hormones, amino
acids, and collagen, as well as the excretion of excess cholesterol.
Helps heal wounds, strengthen blood vessels, build connective tissue,
and promotes healthy gums, skin, teeth, and bones. Helps protect against
infection and enhances immunity. Aids in the body ’s absorption
of iron. Vitamin C is water soluble, which means it cannot be stored
by your body and must be frequently replaced.
MINERAL BLEND
Proprietary blend of 72 key trace minerals derived from
the mineral saturated waters of the Great Salt Lake. Proper mineral
supplementation is vital for good health. Minerals are essential for
the body ’s neurological and electrolyte functions and the utilization
of vitamins by the body.
APPLE FIBER
Contains 100%Pure Apple Fiber and may help those with
bowel distress due to Apple Fiber ’s high water binding ability.
DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
Digestive enzymes digest your food. With age you lose
natural digestive enzymes. Supplemental digestive enzymes restore
these lost enzymes and help nutritional and gastric disorders like
heartburn, indigestion and obesity. When you eat a meal, digestive
enzymes that are released from your salivary glands, stomach, and
small intestine immediately get to work to speed up the digestive
process. Each enzyme acts on a specific type of food.
The lack of enzymes leads to poor digestion, poor absorption,
as well as accumulation of undigested food, material, and metabolic
waste. This can lead to food allergies, overgrowth of parasites, yeast
and unfriendly bacteria, indigestion, constipation, belching, bloating
and many other health problems.
THUNDER ’S ENZYME BLEND
PROTEASE
It is responsible for digesting proteins in your food,
which is probably one of the most difficult substances to metabolize.
Because of this, protease is considered to be one of the most important
enzymes that we have. This will help to clean up your blood stream,
and restore your energy and balance.
AMYLASE
Allows digestion of carbohydrates during their transit
through the gastrointestinal tract.
LIPASE
A lipid (fat digesting enzyme. Incomplete digestion
of fat allows fat to coat food particles and therefore interferes
with the hydrolysis of other food components such as protein and carbohydrates.
ELLULASE
To help digest the cellulose in the diet.
SUCRASE
An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into
glucose and fructose.
MALTASE
To help digest maltose resulting from the amylase hydrolysis
of starch.
LACTASE
To assist in the digestion of lactose from milk and
other dairy products.
BROMELAIN
Is one of a group of proteolytic enzymes capable of
digesting protein.
PROBIOTICS
Beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus
and Bifidobacterium bifidum, are called probiotics. Probiotic bacteria
favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth
of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function,
and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal
colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth
of disease-causing bacteria. Probiotic bacteria also produce substances
called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable
microorganisms. Probiotics also promote healthy digestion.
Thunder contains eight of the Major strains.
• Lactobacillus Acidophilus
• Lactobacillus Bulgaricus
• Bifidobacterium Bifidum
• Lactobacillus Rhamnosus
• Lactobacillus Casei
• Lactobacillus Plantarum
• Lactobacillus Brevis
• Lactobacillus Caucasicus
