Lophatherum Essence is the first high-tech natural health food in the world developed from bamboo leaf flavones and coumarin lactones using advanced processing technology. It is also a special health food for China’s aerospace industry. Its raw materials come from the bamboo leaf grown in Zhejiang, China, which contains a rich variety of bioactive components and nutriments that are important to our health, and is an ideal plant that can be used as both food and medicine.

Bamboo is one of the most valuable plants in the world. Its application as medicine was recorded as early as 1500 years ago in Chinese medical books of different times. Bamboo leaf also has a long history of application as both food and medicine in China. Profound researches on bamboo leaf has allowed its extract to be used extensively in the fields that include medicine, food, anti-oxidant and cosmetics.

Lophatherum Essence takes bamboo leaf as main ingredient and is refined by modern biotechnology. It has become a favorable choice by consumers since its debut on the market years ago.

It is clinically proven by Shanghai First People’s Hosiptal: the flavone from bamboo leaf can eliminate various active oxygen-derived free radicals, inhibit the peroxidation of lipids, cleanse blood vessels, and has good effect on cardio-cerebral vascular protection. Furthermore, flavone extracted from bamboo leaf also has a good immunoregulation function that will significantly promote the resistance of body to adverse environment and diseases.

Bamboo leaf can be consumed either as food or medicine. It is safe and with no toxic or adverse effect. Its safety is comparable to that of other medicinal-edible plants including Chinese date, ginger, honey, medlar, lotus leaf, and fresh reed rhizome. Researches show that no toxic and adverse effect is associated with bamboo leaf flavone, and it is free of hormones and anti-nutrition factors. It will participate in metabolism and be immediately discharged from the body without accumulation, and thus has edibility with great safety.

The fine outstanding manufacturing process of this bamboo product leads to its definite functional ingredients, high purity, high stability and high hydrophilicity. Compared with normal flavones, bamboo leaf flavone has advantages in its stable structure, resistance to degradation, and direct effect on deep lesion access.

Researches prove that bamboo leaf extract contains effective components such as flavones, lactones, amino acids, active peptide, manganese, zinc, and selenium. This Lophatherum Essence takes bamboo leaf flavones as key ingredient with the function of blood-lipid regulation. Clinical experiments show that it is a safe and effective health food that applies to different kinds of blood-lipid abnormalities. It is also effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases, anti-free radicals, anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, immunity-enhancement, anti-inflammation, sleep improvement, and beautification, etc. Simply said, it cares for your heart and brain.

Think your body can look like this 60 days from now? you need to be committed.

Man: Dig deeper. Come on, get it! Get it and go. 10. Down. You got it. Come on. Dig deeper. Go. Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig!

Man, this is insane.

I’m now at eight percent body fat. Pro athletes are, like, at six.

Got a nice sweat on. That’s just the warmup.

The idea is to just push you to your limit.

It’s fun, it’s difficult, it’s challenging.

It’s awesome!

Look at my results. I’m psyched.

I love it. It’s out of control.

Insanity, baby.

Announcer: Picture yourself getting this lean… This strong… This ripped. Now ask yourself, “how bad do I want it?” if the answer is “real bad” and you love a challenge and don’t mind working out in a pool of your own sweat…

Whoo!

Announcer: …Well, you just might be crazy enough for Insanity, the extreme total body conditioning program that delivers mind-blowing results in record time.

This program is designed for a 60-day, full-body transformation, where in 60 days I can get you to what takes most people a year.

Announcer: You don’t need weights. Your own body supplies the resistance. And you don’t need to spend countless hours in the gym. It’s less than one hour a day in your own home. What you do need is willpower and lots of it. [man screams] because Insanity is going to test your limits physically and mentally. You see, Insanity is probably the hardest workout ever put on DVD, but if you can stick with it for 60 days, you’ll end up with the hardest body you’ve ever had, a body like Shaun T., the fitness expert and former track star who developed this wicked workout.

I’m gonna keep it very real. Insanity is not for everybody. It’s not. It’s not for a person who’s lazy. It’s not for a person who finds excuses. It’s only for the person who’s mentally ready to take their body to peak physical condition. Now, how am I gonna do that? I’m gonna do that through max interval training.

Announcer: Traditional interval training features long periods of moderate exercise followed by short bursts of intense effort, but Shaun T. Turned that on its head. With max interval training, you do long bursts of intense exercise followed by very short periods of rest. As if that weren’t tough enough, you work out at your maximum capacity on every exercise, doing as many reps as you possibly can, whether that’s 40 or 14. Give it your best and you can burn up to a thousand calories a workout. Now, that’s insane. In each interval, you alternate between killer cardio for accelerated fat burn, plyometrics for explosive lower-body power, sports drills for speed and agility, resistance training for upper-body definition, and core exercises for insane abs. That’s why Insanity can transform your body from head to toe and get you in the best shape of your life in only 60 days.

This is beyond Insanity. They need a new word for Insanity. This is too crazy.

Announcer: There was no question that Shaun T’s new workout would produce amazing results. The question was, can anyone even do it? So before we put it down on video, we put an ad in the paper asking for volunteers who were willing to take the Insanity challenge. We warned ’em it was going to be tough, but to our surprise, we drew quite a crowd: Soldiers, moms, fitness instructors, former triathletes, even total beginners. Some of them thought they were already in great shape. It took about 10 minutes into their first Insanity workout to dispel that notion. Some of them worried that they couldn’t keep up, but Insanity’s not about keeping up. It’s about digging deep. Some of them thought they didn’t have to give 100%. We showed them the door. The elite group you are about to meet are regular people just like you who pushed through the pain and survived 60 days of Insanity and have amazing results to prove it.

Before Insanity, I thought I was fit. I was in the army for 10 years, and we do physical training every day, so I thought I was in great shape. I got out of the army this year in June, so I went home and I was eating that down-home cooking all summer. I wasn’t working out consistently, so I put on about 20, 30 pounds. Day one of Insanity, we start working out immediately, and I’m like, “wow, this is really intense” for about 10 minutes, and I’m going and I’m drenched in sweat, and then Shaun says, “all right, that was the warmup,” and I’m like, “wait a minute,” and I’m almost gassing here and we’re just getting started, and it’s true, by the fourth week, the warmup actually feels like a warmup, but the first three weeks, it’s definitely a workout. 60 days later, 27 pounds later, just a whole lifestyle change has taken place. Wow! [chuckles] you know, I’ve, I’ve seen the change from before Insanity until now, but it’s not till you put those two guys up side by side… My before picture was horrible, and I thought I was in pretty good shape. But looking at myself now, oh, man, I’d run circles around that guy. With Insanity, you’re gonna hit walls, but my challenge to anybody that gets the DVD is never press pause. If you never press pause, you’ll get in shape. You have no choice, because he’s gonna push you and push you and push you.

You’re right there. Come on, go! Go, come on!

After surviving Insanity for 60 days, I feel great. I can’t stop. I got to get some more. [spray paint rattles, sprays]

This is about the person who wants to be fit, and that is it. There’s no if, ands, or buts about it. It’s like, “do you want to be fit?” if your answer is yes, Insanity’s the workout for you. Do you not want to be fit? Then don’t even step into the room.

This was not here 60 days ago. No way, no shape, no form.

I have these phenomenal abs right now. It’s what you want from all those other programs say they’re gonna get you.

It’s just absolutely amazing that within 60 days, I can produce these results without using equipment, without using weights.

My cholesterol has gone down. I’ve lost 16% body fat. My life has changed.

Transformation for Shaun T. Is a right-now proposition. You work so damn hard, you don’t have time to think.

You have to put the effort in to get the effort out. You had to use your body to get the body that you wanted.

Shaun: Stop moving back. Move forward. Come on, go!

I’ve done more in this 60 days than Ive done in my 30 years.

You got to be dedicated. These are for people who feel the pain and don’t run from it.

It’s all in your head, you know? How far can you go? How much can you push?

If you’re gonna work out, get Insanity and work out hard the whole entire time that you’re working out so that when you’re done, you know you worked out.

In Insanity, you’re pushing yourself, and then you’re pushing a little bit more, and then when you think, “this is it, I’ve got no more,” Shaun’s like, “yes, you do, you’ve got a little bit more to give,” and it’s that, you know, that you need to be able to get to the next level. As a fitness instructor, I’m a big fan of the gadgets. You know, give me some tubes, give me a spin bike, give me some dumbbells– the more, the merrier, you know? And what I realized with this is that, why waste your time with any of that when you’ve got the tools right here? I remember the day I met Shaun, and he said, you know, “are you ready?” and I stepped forward, and I said, “are you ready?” and Shaun’s like, “for what?” I said, “for me.” [man laughs] I’m gonna pay for that.

Drop down and give me 20 right now. [observers cheering] …And, you know, he kind of was like, “all right, let’s see what you can do.”

18… Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. Lower. Lower. [observers cheering] good job. Yeah…!

Because I was skeptical when I went in at first, thinking like I was gonna really be able to stand out of the crowd. And within the warmup, I was struggling, and that was such a shock to me that I’m fit, I’m athletic, and I’m struggling in the warmup? And it really made me realize that, you know, I’ve got a ways to go, and now by the end of the program, I’m just amazed at how far I’ve come. I lost, you know, three inches around my waist. I never thought, you know, it was possible for my stomach to be this flat, for my waist to be this tiny. Before Insanity, I was wearing a size 6, and I was so happy that I could squeeze myself into a size 6. And now my size 6 jeans are, like, falling off. Now you can’t keep the clothes on me. [spray paint rattles, sprays]

In two days, you’ll feel your muscles start to change, your muscles start to react to this unrested type of workout, and they just want more and want more and want more and want more.

In the 60 days since I started Insanity, Ive lost 30 pounds, Ive lost 30 inches of body mass. That’s six and a half inches around the waist, a couple inches here, a couple inches here, a couple inches off the legs. I mean, my before and after pictures are just shocking. Insanity let the real me sort of come back out. I was athletic as a young guy. I played sports through college. You know, I did all these things. And you get older and you get stuck behind a desk, and you just don’t get to work out the way you used to, and this has sort of let me get back to being what I was like when I was in my early 20s. You know, I’m 37 now, but I feel like I’m 15 years younger. As tough as Insanity got, you get sort of addicted to it and you want to keep pushing. You know, you don’t doubt that you’re losing weight in that workout, because sweat is coming off you like a river when you’re pushing yourself that hard. When I saw my before and after pictures up against each other on that computer screen, I mean, there’s that moment when you feel the little tingle in the back and the blush going on, and like, “holy crap, I am a different person now.” and it for sure, it blew me away. You know, I’m not done yet. You don’t finish. Just ’cause the first 60 days are over, you can keep being insane as long as you want. [spray paint rattles, sprays]

Announcer: Are you ready to dedicate the next 60 days of your life to getting in the best shape of your life? Are you willing to keep going when your body’s begging you to stop?

You’re right there. Come on, go! Go, come on!

Announcer: Then you’re ready for Insanity.

Shaun: Yeah, you’re doing Insanity… Yeah, come on! Unh!

Announcer: You don’t need weights. Your own body supplies the resistance. You don’t need to spend countless hours in the gym. It’s less than an hour a day in your own home. We’re not gonna lie to you and say it’s easy. Insanity is probably the hardest workout ever put on DVD, but there’s a method behind the madness. It’s called max interval training. Traditional workouts feature long periods of moderate exercise followed by short bursts of intense effort, but max interval training features long bursts of intense exercise followed by short periods of rest. In each interval, you work out at your max, squeezing out every last rep you can, whether that’s 40 or 14. Give it your best and you can burn up to a thousand calories a workout. Now, that’s insane. Shaun’s pushing your body to a place it’s never been, so it becomes something it’s never been. Insanity gives you the tools, including 10 insane workouts. The Insanity challenge starts with dig deeper, Shaun T’s fit test. It’s a wakeup call that tells you your true fitness level. Wait till you see what happens when you take it again on day 60. You won’t believe how far you’ve come. Then it’s time to take on month one. A rotation of five workouts, about 30 minutes a day, including plyometric circuit– intervals of fat-scorching cardio and intense lower-body plyo that will leave you standing in a puddle of sweat. Power & resistance– intervals of strength training and power moves to create lean, sculpted muscle and upper-body definition. Cardio abs– explosive intervals of cardio and core moves for a rock-hard core and insane abdominals. Pure cardio. Skip the intervals today. This is nonstop extreme cardio with no rest at all. Melts body fat like candle wax. Recovery. Shaun T. Goes a little easier on you one day a week to let your body recuperate so you’ll be ready for a mean month two. Speak of the devil. Month two is about digging even deeper with four new maxed-out workouts. These workouts are a little longer– about 45 minutes– but hey, that’s a lot faster than a trip to the gym. Yep, these babies are hard, but do ’em and your body will be too. 60 days of training with Shaun costs over $1,000, but Insanity won’t cost you $1,000. Not 500. Not 300. Not even close. Because if you call in the next 20 minutes, you get the entire Insanity fitness program for only three payments of $39.95. That’s right, you get this for only three payments of $39.95.

Shaun: You can freakin’ do it, so work. Come on, y’all! Let’s go! […] Dig deeper. Go, push. Get in it and move. Come on, y’all. Come on, go! Relax the jaws. Relax the fingers. Push through. Move. Come on! Dig with me. I’m right here. Go.

Well, to me, what Shaun meant when he said dig is to dig deep, dig deep in your soul. You got to just, you just got to find something in you to push you forward, to help you overcome that pain, that wall. In 60 days in Insanity, I lost 25 pounds. A whole 25 pounds off of me. I had no idea I had 25 pounds to lose. The proof is in the pudding. It’s all right here. 25 pounds lighter, 35 inches in total, eight inches off the waist. Numbers don’t lie. Looking at my before and after photos for the very first time, I was shocked. I set a goal to get something back. I exceeded that goal. There was a whole bunch of emotion inside, and I was just happy that I could do it and I saw my way through it. Just plug every day. Just plug at it, plug at it, plug at it. Don’t give up. It’s gonna burn. It’s gonna hurt. You’re gonna sweat. You’re gonna be sore. Just do it and you’ll definitely get these results. So 60 days ago, no, I wouldn’t imagine I’d have, like, this and all this. I couldn’t have, but thanks to Shaun T. And Beachbody, I made it happen. [spray paint rattles, sprays]

You have this body, you want that body, you got to take a straight line to get that body. No walking on the treadmill at 4.5 with a three-degree incline. Do this. Go as hard as you possibly can.

Before Insanity, I was doing as little as possible. I was taking the easy road out, so for me, this was a totally different tactic. I was walking into a program that wasn’t about being easy. It was about taking on one of the hardest challenges that you ever can in your life. It’s proof– the easy way doesn’t work. I’m not the same person I was 60 days ago. I lost 13 pounds and 14 inches. Three and a half inches off my waist. I started out, I was wearing size 12 and 14 jeans. I’m in a pair of jeans right now that I haven’t worn in two years. Words can’t express how proud I am of myself. I feel accomplished. I feel like I can take on the world. And, you know, there’s no mountain that we can’t climb. It’s all right here, and if you’re ready to take the challenge, then it can happen. If you’re not, go home. [spray paint rattles, sprays]

The most amazing thing about Insanity is you don’t need anything but your body and me to motivate you through the most difficult, intense workout that will get you in the best shape of your life, guaranteed.

It’s unexplainable how you can go from a level that is mediocre to, like, just this elite kind of athletic form.

I thought I was in good shape before, but now I know I’m in good shape, and it’s because of Shaun T. And his workout, for sure.

I have a newfound confidence in every single thing that I do.

Shaun as a trainer is like having a big brother, and I never had one, so to have somebody push me to go further than I think I can go, it was great, a great experience.

When I leave Shaun T. And this arena of, you know, working at 110%, I take that right into the rest of my life.

The fact that it does push you past your limit, that’s amazing to me, because I felt like I was so healthy before, and yet I pushed my limit, and then I see the results. I was like, wow.

I love it. It’s out of control. It’s cross-training. It’s intervals. I mean, he has put together such a great workout. You just, you don’t want to stop, and when they stop, take a three-second break, come right into it with us. It’s so much fun. This is my favorite one! I’m in my 40s now, and I have twins who are four and a half now. I mean, after having my twins, I never thought my stomach would be so taut. I have these phenomenal abs right now. My upper abs are the best they’ve ever been. It’s not just the superficial layer. It’s like deep, deep, deep. It’s what you want from all those other programs say they’re gonna get you. I have not done one crunch, I have not done one sit-up on the floor. And it’s been all me. There’s been no weights, nothing.

Pushups, Alysia. 4, 3, 2. Run it out!

This program peeled off all those layers that were covering me for all those years, and now my 40s are gonna be rocking, and my 50s are gonna be sensational.

Ignorance is a bliss this has been the deal. The long been promulgated idea has been inculcated in the minds of people and has dictated their actions since time immemorial. Politicians, in general, use this concept as they swiftly circumvent every charge filed against them – now, that was just for a few laughs. They say that the lesser you know, the lesser the dangers to your life. But this is not always the case.

What are we discussing? You don’t know? Well, it’s about ignorance.

Ignorance doesn’t always put us on the safe side. Instead, ignorance can sometimes spell danger. Contrary to popular belief, there is no better defense to life’s toxic predicaments than a handful of knowledge, and a dose of good, old-fashioned common sense.

Again, to clarify things…the ignorance we are referring to is the sheer lack of knowledge and understanding about sexuality. Sexuality is still one of the most talked about topics in society even if it is responsible for perpetuating human life. But even more rare are the avenues for lengthy and tedious discussion about healthy sexuality. This issue is really a matter of life and death. As a student goes to school for academic nourishment, so must adults go to constantly rendezvous with health professionals in the sexual health clinic.

The sexual health clinic, contrary to what the name suggests, isn’t only geared towards the treatment of sexually-related diseases and sex-related ailments. It is a place where people can get information about sexual health. Genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinics and sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics are just some of the other names that are attributed to sexual health clinics. These institutions are manned by, at the very least, one medical staff who can discuss sexually-related issues. The staff on duty can also refer patients to other health-related institutions which, in their stead, can provide further health service to the patient. Some sexual health clinics target specific types of populations while other clinics cater to all kinds of patients of sexual orientation or preference. According to www.wikipedia.org, there are some clinics that operate specifically to cater to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders. These medical institutions provide, with the aide of medical breakthroughs, a wide-array of up-to-date treatments and procedures. Male sexual health clinics have long been providing medical assistance to treat erectile dysfunctions, infertility, premature ejaculation, prostate cancer, prostate gland enlargement, prostatitis, testicular cancer and other male sexual problems.

Female sexual health clinics, on the other hand, provide medical attention to treat a number of sexual and non-sex related illnesses such as menopausal symptoms, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness. Treatments like hormone therapy are provided to address cases of loss of sexual desire or drive, problems with arousal or orgasm, and pain or discomfort during intercourse.

When it comes to choosing the right health supplements to address your nutritional goals, the task can prove to be quite cumbersome and challenging. It is natural to be overwhelmed by the thousands of products lining the racks of health stores and get confused by their configuration of nutrients and other dietary specificationswhat do you do?

These top tips and guidelines go a long way in helping you understand the essential requirements that you should look for in your health supplements. Read on for a closer look.

Nutrient Form

In most cases, the lists of ingredients printed on the packaging of these products also contain their nutrient forms. As individuals vary in their capacity to absorb nutrients, it makes good sense to choose the supplement that boasts of a variety of sources of forms or those recommended by their health experts. Consumption of Vitamin C, E as well as beta carotene is acceptable in their natural form. Minerals usually come in various combinations and are often combined with amino acids or other compatible substances for best results and easy absorption. Such minerals are referred to as “chelated” minerals; for instance calcium citrate.

Dosage Level

Whether it is about consuming haliborange kid multivitamins or other standard products for enhancing your nutritional intake, how do you assess whether the same is suitable for your children or you? Here, you need to research on the right proportion of nutrients that promise to be effective for your good health and know the recommended doses for the same. The products that do not boast of the adequate amounts of required ingredients may lead to negative therapeutic effects.

The best way to ward off these issues is by knowing how to interpret the symbols and numbers linked with the ingredients. For instance, if you need to purchase a supplement that is rich in calcium , then you should look for the letters “X mg calcium”, which imply that the product chosen by you contains X mg of elemental calcium. However, if you see the words X mg calcium carbonate” on the label, then you need to understand that the presence of actual calcium is restricted to only 40 percent.

Manufactures and Prices

Though dirt-cheap brands may lure your wallet, it is well advised to steer clear of them and confine your purchases to the health products sold and marketed by reputed manufacturers only. Along with formulating their offering on the basis of scientific research and using the best possible raw materials, these manufacturers ensure that their supplements are absolutely free from any sort of contamination. Look for products that are high quality and benchmarked levels of potency you will not be disappointed by the results.

All the best!
