Our 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ products have been accepted as a human healthy food and skin care due to the
nutritional and clinical importance of the substances comprised in our products. Numerous studies and clinical trials
have shown that regular consumption of Elixir for Life™ colostrum is beneficial for digestion, immunity, growth and
maintenance of healthy joint and muscle tissue, wound healing and tissue repair, it is a natural anti-carcinogen and
improves oxygen uptake and mental acuity. It promotes heart health, maintaining normal body weight, and
regulating hormones, among other health benefits. Athletes of all levels and age groups can improved their
performance and recovery rate by consuming Elixir for Life™. Our products are very beneficial to those suffering
from auto-immune diseases, or who have compromised immune systems. If there were truly a fountain of youth to
be found, Elixir for Life™ is all that.
Our company icon is derived from our name and symbolizes the profound synergistic nature of our product.
Isis, in Egyptian mythology, is the incredible goddess who holds the thread of life. Her symbol is the tiet/tyet,
meaning welfare/life. It is also called the Knot of Isis or the blood of Isis; and it represents the idea of eternal
life/resurrection. Isis is depicted by the star Sept (Sirius) which is the star of the New Year. The name Isis is still a
beloved name among modern Coptic Egyptians, and in Europe the name (Isadora) i.e. Gift of Isis is still common.
Isis is known as: Protector of kings, She who seeks justice for the poor people, and She who seeks shelter for the
weak people. Isis is the epitome of the rights of kings.
Plutarch was a Greek historian, biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist. In a paragraph from his writings on Isis
and Osiris, Isis says; “I am nature, the universal Mother, mistress of all the elements, primordial child of time,
sovereign of all things spiritual,…my nod governs the shining heights of Heavens, the wholesome sea breezes.”
Functional foods are food components that provide demonstrated physiological benefits, or reduce the risk of
chronic disease, above and beyond their basic nutritional functions. A nutraceutical is a product isolated or purified
from foods that is generally sold in medicinal forms not usually associated with food, such as powders, tablets or
capsules. It is demonstrated to have a physiological benefit, or to have provided protection against chronic disease.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ powder can be broken down into a number of nutraceuticals, (more than 200
elements, many not found in any other whole food on earth) and it can also be considered a whole functional food.
It should also be understood that the efficacy of the individual components is compromised when the whole is
broken down and its elements segregated. It is very important to us that our product remain intact as a natural
food. The general consensus is that it is a synergistic nutraceutical since it is in powder or capsule form.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ is a synergistic substance that contains many components whose combined
strength is much greater than the sum of the individual parts. It is a substance whose whole design and purpose is
to generate and promote life and vitality. Removing any of these components from the whole Elixir for Life™
destroys the synergistic effect that research has proven to be so remarkable. Elixir for Life™ is high in
carbohydrates, high in protein, high in antibodies, and low in fat. It delivers its nutrients in a very concentrated low-
volume form. Elixir for Life™ contains large numbers of antibodies called "secretory immunoglobulin" (IgA) that help
protect the mucous membranes in the throat, lungs, and intestines. Leukocytes are also present in large numbers;
these protect against harmful viruses and bacteria, and ingesting Elixir for Life™ establishes beneficial bacteria in
the digestive tract.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ Contains the Following Protecting, Regulating, and Support Factors. This is not
an exhaustive list. There are other agents and compounds in ISIS Elixir for Life™ which have evolved from the time
of the earliest mammals to ensure survival and promote health, strength, and vitality.
The globule phospholipid membranes found naturally in Elixir for Life™ form liposomes around the products
compounds and include sphingomyelin and phospholipids which plays important roles in mammalian metabolism.
For example, sphingomyelin makes up a large portion of the myelin sheathes that insulate our nerves, just like the
plastic or rubber sheath on an electric wire. These important fats and lipids are critical to insure maximum
absorption into tissues and membranes. They help protect the Elixir for Life™ from the action of stomach and
intestinal acids and digestive enzymes so that the bioactive molecules reach their intended targets in the body
rather than being digested. We use only the highest quality ingredients available in all ISIS™ products to insure
their effectiveness.
Our 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ delivers naturally occurring IgG levels of at least 25% or higher and a
minimum of three percent Proline-rich Polypeptides. We also offer a concentrated colostrum with 40% IgG.
Digestive aid supplements
ISIS™ Digestive Aid Supplements are a new pro-biotic formulation developed specifically to promote healthy
intestinal flora. It is a fast acting, antibiotic resistant pro-biotic. While most retail pro-biotic products have less than
five billion viable cells per serving, Elixir for life™ Pro-biotic Digestive Aid Supplements takes the lead with 40 billion
viable cells per serving. This is a must if you have taken antibiotics or have irritable bowel syndrome.
Vitamin and mineral supplements
ISIS™ complete multi-nutrient complex starts with the highest quality vitamins and minerals you expect in a multiple
vitamin. Then a unique combination of special nutrients is added. Many of these additional nutrients are little-
known favorites of nutritional experts and are usually found only in a few expensive specialty formulas.
The unique and natural ingredients found in Elixir for life™ Daily Balance Daily Balance support optimal health in
key areas not covered by traditional multivitamins. In addition to containing Elixir for life™, there are 15 of the world’
s greatest super-foods that range from nutrient-dense green foods like chlorella and broccoli sprouts to royal jelly
and multi-colored vegetables. This means that there are hundreds of additional “known” nutrients as well as “new”
nutrients that enhance the value of Elixir for life™ Daily Balance.
It is ideal to have a vast array of nutrients in one multivitamin, but it is just as important that each nutrient is in an
amount and form that the body can absorb. That’s why we use high quality raw materials and Bioperine™ - a
patented Indian pepper extract clinically proven to increase overall absorption of nutrients.
Our Elixir for life™ Daily Balance formula provides memory and brain support, liver support, digestive system
benefits, support for eye health, heart protection, and most critical of all, it promotes enjoyment of life.
ISIS Serum of Life™ Skin Care Line
There are thousands of skin care products on the market today. However, Elixir for Life™ based skin care products
are a relatively new concept. We have developed a line of products that are designed to take advantage of our
products effectiveness in promoting healthy and young looking skin. The following is a list of the products we intend
to offer.
reduce wrinkles. It helps maintain skin health both from the inside through its antioxidant effect, and externally by
healing skin inflammation and stimulating cell growth.
Lipid Delivery System – 100% Natural Elixir for Life™
Liposomes composed of various types of lipids (fats) have been used for nearly 40 years as delivery systems for
drugs, cosmetics, and many other innovative uses since they were first described in 1965. Bioactive molecules,
such as those which compose Elixir for Life™, need to cross biological membranes in order to enter the body,
whether it is in the gastrointestinal tract, the skin, the pulmonary tract or the cornea, and once in the body, there are
other membranous barriers to cross to get to their sites of action, such as vascular walls and the blood-brain
barrier.
The globule phospholipid membranes found naturally in Elixir for Life™ are unique in that they are bipolar molecules
with one end being hydrophilic (“water-loving”) and the other end being lipophilic (“fat-loving”). This means that the
liposomes will carry both hydrophilic and lipophilic molecules equally well. The bipolarity of the phospholipid
molecules is what accounts for the self-assembly of the membrane when the phospholipids are introduced into a
watery environment. It also accounts for the ease with which the liposome merges with other cell membranes when it
encounters them, such as in the lining of the gut or on the skin. Skin care products, which also have this lipid
delivery system, are superior to non-liposomal skin care products because the ingredients are able to penetrate
much deeper into the levels of the skin where they can be of maximum benefit.
* Health Management (including Heart Disease, Cancer, Immunity)
Certain health crises and diseases, here presented as subcategories of health management, are doing the
“driving” when it comes to consumer needs: heart disease, cancer and arthritis.
But immunity against these conditions is also included as representative of how a trend can result from a proactive
direction; rather than react to disease states plaguing our population, developers of wellness foods and beverages
are trying to get ahead of the curve. “An ounce of prevention…”
ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™, and ISIS™ products based around Elixir for Life™, have the
capability to target virtually all of these market trends, benefiting all target markets and age groups.
● Heart Health
Case in point: The following is a documented personal experience of an individual with congestive heart failure
following a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy. As the summary relates, the individual routinely supplemented his diet with
high quality Elixir for Life™.
Excerpted from an article in: The Colostrum Option vol 3, 2000, titled, "Doctors Can't Explain His Recovery from
Congestive Heart Failure."
The benefits realized here were most likely due to the small amounts of growth hormone and substantial amounts of
insulin-like growth factor-1 present in high quality Elixir for Life™.
Reference:
Anwar A, Gaspz JM, et al; Effect of congestive heart failure on the insulin-like growth factor-1 system, Am J Cardiol
2002; 90(12): 1402-5.
Alfred E. Fox, Ph.D. also explains some of the benefits that can be realized by routine use of a high quality Elixir for
Life™ product, which is rich in growth factors and immunoglobulins. He states, “The multitude of available IGF-1
binding proteins and related proteins available in the cell is indicative of the many potential effects that the binding
of IGF-1 to its specific cell-surface receptor can have on cells. Growth hormone is extremely potent and, thus, only
a small quantity is required. It directly influences the generation of new cells and the repair of existing tissues. By
contrast, insulin-like growth factor-1 is far more powerful and has a much broader range of effects on cell
development, the control of metabolism and the derivation of energy. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and its
closely related counterpart insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2), which are potent hormones that are found in
association with almost all cells in the body. IGF-1 is the best described and most potent of this pair. These
molecules are produced by all mammals and, in every case, have a very similar chemical structure regardless of the
species.
As we age, the ability of our body to create an adequate supply of IGF-1 is diminished. Thus, by eating a well-
balanced diet and maintaining a constant supply of IGF-1 in our body, we can keep the ship moving at the right
speed and in the right direction. And when we exercise this becomes even more critical since there is an increased
demand for glycogen to provide energy to our muscles and the preference is to build more muscle protein. Even
more importantly, as we age the cells in our body do not reproduce themselves as well and, since IGF-1 is a primary
factor in the ability of cells to grow and reproduce, it is highly desirable to have an appropriate level of IGF-1 in the
circulation through dietary supplementation to limit the ever increasing rate of cell death.”
Dr. Alfred E. Fox holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University in Microbiology (Immunochemistry) and has more than 25
years of senior management experience at Carter-Wallace, Baxter Dade Division and Warner-Lambert, where he
was responsible for research and development and regulatory affairs. For the past 15 years, Dr. Fox has been the
President of Fox Associates, a business and technology consulting firm serving small-to mid-size companies in the
human and animal health care fields.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ also reduces blood pressure. An increasingly large body of evidence shows
that Elixir for Life™, in particular, is an excellent heart health food, especially for those with high blood pressure.
Current research published by the British Journal of Pharmacology indicates for the first time that the adipocytokine,
leptin, has direct cardio protective properties. The research study specifically states: “CONCLUSIONS AND
IMPLICATIONS: Our data indicate for the first time that the adipocytokine, leptin, has direct cardio protective
properties which may involve the PI3-Akt and p44/42 MAPK pathways.”
Animal studies have been suggestive that lactoferrin, one of the principal proteins found in Elixir for Life™, may help
prevent or shrink cancers. Elixir for Life™ also contains milk fats which have been shown to be ant carcinogenic.
Cancer is a class of diseases noted for unchecked, aberrant cell growth and proliferation. Suspected causes of
cancer are numerous, but cell damage caused by genetic, environmental and dietary causes has been checked in
studies by antioxidant compounds. In fact, the connection between antioxidant intake and reduction of cancer risk is
one of the more heavily studied nutrition links, and shows some of the strongest results.
Unchecked free radicals have been linked, at least in part, as the causative agents of a number of disease
conditions including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and improper nervous & immune system function. A growing
number of scientific and medical research studies have successfully shown that antioxidants can deactivate free
radicals and thus limit the spread of certain disease states. Basically antioxidants act as free radical scavengers and
thus removing them from the body before they can cause their harmful effects.
One of the properties of ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™, in addition to all of its other benefits, is a source of
wide range antioxidants. One such antioxidant - Glutathione - has been described as the "Ultimate Antioxidant". It is
very well documented that glutathione and its precursors are present in Elixir for Life™ in relatively high levels. In
this capacity glutathione and glutathione precursors play an important part in Elixir for Life™'s role in overall health.
Glutathione also referred to, as GSH is a naturally occurring peptide or small protein, which has a primary function
as an antioxidant. Linus Pauling was a leading advocate of antioxidants and their respective role in prevention of
disease and the promotion of overall good health. Antioxidants for the most part are naturally occurring compounds
that possess the ability to neutralize unstable "free radicals".
Cancer cells in adults contain a large number of mutations acquired over a lifetime's exposure to environmental
carcinogens, toxins, and free radicals. These substances damage the bodies DNA - the blueprint of life. Antioxidants
have been shown to protect the DNA from excessive damage and help in the synthesis and repair. The cellular level
of glutathione has been described as predictive factor in determining our life expectancy. Glutathione regulates the
actions of other less effective antioxidants such as vitamins C & E.
● Aging, Memory & Immunity
Aging, including energy and memory loss, came up fast as consumer needs, especially to the demographic
juggernaut of baby boomers turning 60 in 2006. This Peter Pan generation is in charge and too busy to become the
seniors its parents’ generation was. Having the stamina and mental acuity to stay in charge is of prime importance to
this sector of the market.
Aging
Are antioxidants the fountain of youth? That question remains debatable, but it is known that oxidative stress and
high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), by-products of normal metabolism which build up in the body, can
cause widespread damage and increase the aging process. Elixir for Life™ contains antioxidants and the precursors
to glutathione (the most powerful antioxidant known) which help clean up these pollutants from the body and reverse
the damage they do to the body.
Skin Health and Wound Healing
Elixir for Life™ is a natural for good skin health. It contains all that is needed to maintain healthy skin and reduce
wrinkles. It helps maintain skin health both from the inside, by healing leaky gut syndrome and through its
antioxidant effect, and externally by healing skin inflammation and stimulating cell growth.
Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) are also found in relatively high amounts in
Elixir for Life™. Both of these growth factors stimulate tissue repair & wound healing.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported that the most effective means to stop or slow the aging process
would be to replace the hormonal factors that cause the human body to grow normal cellular structures. After
maturity (between the ages of 16 to 20), the level of growth hormone the body naturally produces dwindles. As a
result, the body loses muscle tone and skin elasticity, causing sagging and wrinkling. The body also slowly shrinks
and loses bone mass, while the hands, feet, nose and ears get larger.
Extensive research has shown that the growth factors in Elixir for Life™ colostrum have an anti-aging effect, similar
to that found with the replacement of such hormones as DHEA and melatonin. Elixir for Life™’s growth factors,
however, are naturally occurring and work naturally both to replace the body’s own growth factors and to stimulate
the endocrine system to keep producing these vital and revitalizing hormones.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ colostrum has a perfectly balanced combination of immune and growth factors
that safely increases IGF (insulin like growth factor) to optimum levels, producing increased muscle weight and
strength. In a double-blind study of members of the Finnish Olympic Ski Team, subjects displayed elevated levels of
IGF-1 in blood serum and significantly increases stamina, performance and recovery time. This agrees with the
results of a recent study at the University of South Australia in which athletes displayed improved stamina and
recovery time. The growth factors in Elixir for Life™s have been shown to tone muscles, “melt” body fat, return
elasticity to the skin and increase bone density, giving aging adults a real hope that they may be able to slow down
the aging clock naturally!!
In a Great Health News article titled “Fountain of Youth Rediscovered? Colostrum as an Anti-Aging Agent” by Donald
R. Henderson, M.D., M.P.H, he describes Elixir for Life™colostrum as “The Anti-Aging Connection.” He specifically
states “While changes due to aging in our cells, muscles and immune system sound like a series of irreversible
processes, they can be slowed with colostrum because of the growth factors it contains. Elixir for Life™’s nutritional
properties alone is of tremendous value to us. The highly beneficial polypeptides, immune and growth factors which
are present in Elixir for Life™ offer considerable possibilities for the prevention and recovery of illnesses and
disease. Elixir for Life™ also offers doctors, researchers, and the general population great potential as a tool for
treatments that will help slow the aging process.”
Memory
As the number of senior citizens increases with improved health care and longer life expectancy, the effects of
Alzheimer’s disease will continue to take a toll on our health system and our senior citizens. Elixir for Life™ contains
components which have been shown to benefit those suffering from this debilitating condition.
Of 15 Alzheimer’s patients receiving PRP in a clinical trial, 8 showed clinical improvement and the rest stabilized,
whereas of those receiving selenium or a placebo, none showed improvement
Phosphatidylserine, one of the phospholipids found in Elixir for Life™, has been shown to be of benefit when given
to patients suffering from Alzheimer’s or senile dementia
Immunity
The trend toward foods to enhance immunity is indicative of how deeply science has become a part of food.
Antioxidants are a big part of the immunity domain. Noting a nearly fourfold increase in products claiming to contain
antioxidants or make an Immunity-related Claim since 2002, Vierhile explains, "There are a couple of different things
going on. The first is that there is certain “trendiness” to the antioxidants claim. It sounds more “sophisticated” to say
a product is ‘high in antioxidants’ instead of ‘high in vitamins.’ I'm not sure the average consumer knows exactly what
antioxidants are, but there’s a growing realization antioxidants are good for you.”
Elixir for Life™ colostrum is loaded with everything the newborn needs to survive in the hostile world. Cows, unlike
humans, are unable to receive immunoglobulins across the placenta to “prime” the immune system, so the new born
needs a massive dose of immunoglobulins immediate after birth. Elixir for Life™ thus contains high amounts of
Immunoglobulin. IgG provides passive systemic immunity while IgA provides more localized immunity. Elixir for
Life™ is able to impart passive immunity to humans, protecting them against a broad spectrum of pathogens as well
as providing nonspecific immune support against all pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan
parasites. Elixir for Life™ also has the unique ability to modulate the immune system through the activity of a
particular protein known as Proline-Rich-Polypeptide (PRP) found in Elixir for Life™, which can heat up or cool down
the immune system depending upon what is needed by the host.
The digestive tract is the source of a vast majority of our body’s immunity. Simply stated, if our intestine is unusually
permeable, then bacteria, viruses and other toxins may enter the bloodstream. This can lead to inflammation, food
allergies, and a mal-absorption of minerals. Some of the more common culprits causing a leaky gut include the use
of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), antibiotics, birth control pills, caffeine, and alcohol. In addition to
these culprits, any use of meth-amphetamines and other caustic drugs causes this condition.
The result of a leaky gut is a compromised immune system. Research has shown that Elixir for Life™ colostrum can
help maintain a healthy digestive environment and can prevent the development of a leaky gut. Moreover, the
growth factors in Elixir for Life™ play a key role by keeping the intestinal mucosal sealed and impermeable to toxins.
Elixir for Life™ has been shown to prevent gastro-intestinal tract injury caused by NSAIDs. It has been shown to
provide the ingredients we need to help with nutrient absorption. In essence, Elixir for Life™’s immune and growth
factors help repair the damaged intestinal walls.
Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases are the result of an overactive immune system which begins to produce antibodies to the
body’s own proteins. PRP, a unique substance found only in Elixir for Life™, has the ability to tone down the
overactive immune system to normal levels. Elixir for Life™ also contains components which can alleviate the
symptoms found in various autoimmune disorders, particularly those with inflammation of some body organ.
Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues
normally present in the body. In other words, the body attacks its own cells. Autoimmune diseases are a major cause
of immune-mediated diseases.
Today there are more than 40 human diseases classified as either definite or probable autoimmune diseases, and
they affect 5% to 7% of the population . Almost all autoimmune diseases appear without warning or apparent
cause, and most patients suffer from fatigue.
Causes
The causes of autoimmune diseases are still obscure: Some are thought to be either examples of or precipitated by
diseases of affluence. For example, arthritis and obesity are acknowledged to be related, and the World Health
Organization states that arthritis is most common in developed countries. Most autoimmune diseases are probably
the result of multiple circumstances, for example, a genetic predisposition triggered by an infection.
Gender influence
Women tend to be affected more often by autoimmune disorders; nearly 79% of autoimmune disease patients in the
USA are women. Also they tend to appear during or shortly after puberty. It is not known why this is the case,
although hormone levels have been shown to affect the severity of some autoimmune diseases such as multiple
sclerosis. Other causes may include the presence of fetal cells in the maternal bloodstream.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ colostrumvery effectively addresses this issue, offering a viable and proven
treatment to help prevent these diseases initially, and check them after onset.
● Arthritis and Bone Health
Datamonitor reports that promoting nutrients for their role in skin and hair health leads consumers to “understand
they can look beautiful and healthy on the outside while maintaining health on the inside.” However, also of great
significance to our aging population is the nutritional role in maintaining supple joints and addressing the effects of
menopause.
Arthritis
There are numerous forms of arthritis, from osteoarthritis to autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis which arise from many
different causes. The common denominator between all the different forms of arthritis, however, is an inflammation
of the joints which causes extreme pain and deformation of the joint structure. Elixir for Life™ is a powerful anti-
inflammatory compound which can significantly benefit arthritis sufferers, and it can help heal inflammation of the gut
which has been linked to some forms of arthritis.
Anti-Inflammatory
Inflammatory conditions are a major source of pain, including arthritis, colitis and other similar conditions. Elixir for
Life™ has anti-inflammatory activity which can reduce inflammation, thus helping reduce the progression and pain
due to these conditions.
Bone Health
Our aging population – the over-65 demographic is expected to roughly double in the next couple of decades – is
bringing more attention to bone-health problems. The Datamonitor report, “Insights Into Tomorrow’s Nutraceutical
Consumers,” reveals that the numbers of consumers with bone health problems have increased 1 percent a year in
Europe and by more than 2 percent per year in the U.S. from 1999 to 2004.
This is significantly above population growth; there is a close correlation between poor bone health and age (so
much so, official osteoporosis statistics only include people over 55 years old). The increased prevalence of arthritis
has been driven almost entirely by population ageing.
Some growth factors help epidermal cells (skin and digestive tract) grow while other growth factors stimulate muscle
and bone cell proliferation and development. Of significant interest is the fact that bovine growth factors
found in Elixir for Life™ are almost identical to that of human in both structure and function.
Growth factors and cytokines present in Elixir for Life™ and their respective actions are as follows:
● Obesity
The U.S. Surgeon General report declared that obesity is responsible for 300,000 deaths each year. These
overwhelming research statistics reveal an alarming obesity trend, the need for diagnosis, and a call to action. The
most widely disseminated CDC research statistics on American obesity tell us that 63% of adult Americans have a
Body Mass Index (BMI) in excess of 25.0 and are therefore overweight; more than a quarter surpass 30.0, having
been declared obese. Perhaps the most riveting statistics concern obesity in kids: research shows that childhood
obesity has more than tripled over the past two decades.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, an estimated 40 percent of overweight children and 70 percent of obese
children will remain overweight or obese through adulthood. This suggests the obesity epidemic will be with us for at
least another generation or more.
The millions of children who are either overweight or obese accounts for the dramatic surge in type II diabetes. As
with their adult counterparts, obese children are far more likely than their contemporaries to suffer any number of
concomitant health problems and risks.
The child obesity crisis has led to a renewed interest in earlier healthy food starts. According to a recent report by
Mintel, baby food and drink companies are looking for new options to boost sales within the $3.5 billion-plus baby
food and drink market. The report states, “Toddler-focused foods and organic products are new avenues
manufacturers can explore to address new markets within the category.
"There is a stronger emphasis placed on nutrition and combating obesity in the younger years than ever before,"
said Erin Fowler, analyst for Mintel. "Parents are looking for the proper nutritional mix for their children earlier.
However, they are still feeling the pressures of a time-deprived society, so more convenient offerings that can
promote better health for toddlers are a necessity.”

Some of the Metabolic Factors found in ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ Colostrum.
The metabolic factors in Elixir for Life™ aid our utilization of carbohydrates and play a role in normalizing weight
problems.
Leptin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leptin (from the Greek word leptos, meaning thin) is a 16 kDa protein hormone that plays a key role in regulating
energy intake and energy expenditure, including the regulation (decrease) of appetite and (increase) of metabolism.
The effects of leptin were observed by studying mutant obese mice that arose at random within a mouse colony at
the Jackson Laboratory in 1950. These mice were massively obese and hyperphagic. Leptin itself was discovered
in 1994 by Jeffrey M. Friedman and colleagues at the Rockefeller University through the study of those mutant
mice. The Ob(Lep) gene (Ob for obese and Lep for leptin) is located on chromosome 7 in humans. Leptin is
produced by adipose tissue and interacts with six types of receptor (LepRa–LepRf). LepRb is the only receptor
isoform that contains active intracellular signaling domains. This receptor is present in a number of hypothalamic
nuclei, where it exerts its effects. Importantly, leptin binds to the ventral medial nucleus of the hypothalamus, known
as the "satiety center." Binding of leptin to this nucleus signals to the brain that the body has had enough to eat—a
sensation of satiety. A very small group of humans possess homozygous mutations for the leptin gene which lead to
a constant demand for food, resulting in severe obesity. This condition can be successfully treated by the
administration of recombinant human leptin.
Large quantities of leptin are present in ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™, and although considered an
exogenous source of leptin, it contains the synergistic properties to insure absorption into tissue cells and is able to
pass the blood-brain barrier. This is a potent tool to be used to combat obesity and maintain healthy weight. The
following study documents leptin levels found in Elixir for Life™ vs. whole milk.

Abstract
“Untreated” is emphasized here as further studies have found that the de-fatting of colostrum and milk, the
pasteurization and the homogenization processes, all greatly reduce the amounts of leptin found naturally in whole
Elixir for Life™ and whole milk. It is critical to look for only 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ products to insure you are
getting the real deal.
Leptin is a powerful protein hormone that, according to scientific research, regulates the ob (obese) gene. If
consumers are frustrated by an inability to lose weight no matter how hard they try, there are three main reasons for
their problem:
ISIS™ Nutraceuticals products not only contain leptin, but the entire range of substances needed to successfully
maintain a healthy weight. You need the complete whole package in order for the process to work correctly with
your body. One isolated substance is not able to do what it was intended to do without the aid of the rest of the
package. That’s what synergy is all about.
Scientists have known about leptin since 1949; however, in 1995 a study was done on mice which concluded that
leptin was responsible for regulating the obese gene. In short, this means that scientists actually found what made
mice obese: the absence of Leptin. Since then, massive amounts of research has been invested into fully
understanding the benefits surrounding Leptin.
When scientists were able to reduce the size of an obese mouse by 30% in just two weeks using daily injections of
Leptin, the picture below was pasted in nearly every magazine and news program.
How It Works:
Taken daily, Leptin decreases the size of the fat cell itself. Unlike other cells in your body, the fat cell does not
"split" when it gets too large, it just keeps growing. With the presence of leptin, fat cells reduce in size until they
reach their normal size. This gives your body a better look as you lose inches and it also allows you to control your
weight as Leptin both suppresses your appetite and increases your metabolism.
Inside the body the instructions to make Leptin are carried by a gene that is sometimes defective in the ob (obese)
mouse or human. This means that if you are obese, chances are the gene that makes Leptin in your body is
damaged. No Leptin = Weight Gain. Result: Because the gene is defective, leptin cannot be produced, thus weight
cannot be controlled.
Leptin and weight loss:
Daily injections of leptin cause weight loss in a dose dependent manner, according to a study conducted at St.
Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital from April 1997 through October 1998. In the first phase of the trial, both normal weight
and obese participants given leptin lost small to moderate amounts of weight over a four week period. Obese
subjects continued on placebo or leptin for an additional 20 weeks. In both phases of the trial, subjects who lost the
most weight and body fat received the two highest leptin doses.
Measuring leptin resistance:
Studies indicate that obese individuals may be "leptin resistant", indicating an imbalance of hormones. This may
render treatment with recombinant leptin useless in those individuals. One theory of leptin resistance is that the
high level of serum leptin in obese individuals saturates the transport system resulting in smaller amounts crossing
the blood brain barrier. But Dr. Ken Fujioka of Scripps Clinic offers evidence that exogenously administered leptin
does cross the blood-brain barrier of obese patients, despite very high serum leptin concentrations. ISIS™ 100%
Natural Elixir for Life™ Colostrum is the most viable and Naturally potent exogenous source of leptin
available.
Histamine, leptin and feeding behavior:
Leptin and brain histamine have some striking similarities. Both follow a circadian rhythm and have an effect on
energy intake and expenditure. So it is not surprising that a recent study conducted at Oita Medical University in
Hasama, Japan has shown that hypothalamic histamine plays a role in regulation of feeding behavior via the leptin
pathway. In a series of rodent experiments, researchers found that histamine turnover was increased by leptin
injection, histamine depletion decreased the anorexic effect of leptin, and defects in leptin signaling, such as occur
in ob/ob and db/db mice, decreased the concentration of histamine in the brain.
Genetic mutations in animals:
Human leptin studies have only been conducted over the past few years, and most of what we know about leptin
stems from experiments on rodent models of obesity. There are two known types of leptin mutations which cause
obesity in rodents, a defect of the ob gene itself and in the long form of the ob receptor.
Leptin in human obesity:
Leptin is a hormone produced by fat tissue that regulates energy intake and expenditure. The name comes from the
Greek word leptos, meaning thin. Some scientists refer to it as the "master hormone" because it regulates a number
of other endocrine functions, including reproduction and hormonal regulation.
Although not identified until 1994 by Jeffrey Friedman, the search for the ob gene began more than 20 years ago
when Douglas Coleman, then a researcher at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, surgically joined the
blood vessels of an obese and normal size mouse, and found that the fat mouse immediately started to lose weight.
This was the first clue that the blood contains a biochemical messenger which plays a vital role in the regulation of
appetite and metabolism.
For nearly a decade scientists have known that leptin plays an important fat-burning role in humans. But the map of
leptin’s path through the body – the key to understanding how and why the hormone works – is still incomplete.
Many studies have found that the administration of leptin alone may not be effective in treating obesity, and may
actually have some undesirable side effects from high serum concentrations of leptin. This can happen if leptin is
not utilized and absorbed into the fat and tissue cells of the body (leptin resistance). However, when administered
through the consumption of ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™, the synergistic property of Elixir for
Life™ supports and enables the absorption of leptin into the fat and tissues, passing the blood/brain barrier and
making it an effective tool against obesity.
● Targeting the Athlete
The use of dietary supplements is widespread in sport. These supplements can range from mere daily multivitamin
tablets – seen by many as a health insurance policy – to the more exotic supplements that can be found on the
shelves of health food stores.
Supplements are very popular with athletes and an estimated 46% use them – compared to 35-40% of the general
population. Elite athletes have an even higher usage of supplements, 59% report using them. Of the wide range of
supplements used by athletes, only a few have been comprehensively evaluated and tested thoroughly by scientific
studies. ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ is one substance that is noteworthy enough to have the
scientific studies to back up its effectiveness.
Many athletes turn to supplements to enhance their energy or recovery and to give them an edge over their
competitors, but there is a down side, which is that many performance enhancing supplements come with a whole
host of side effects. ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ is a natural whole food with no known side
effects. It has not been shown to affect the outcome of drug testing, and its effectiveness has been
proven through extensive clinical studies and in several double blind studies. Elixir for Life™ is becoming
better-known in the athletic community as a means to increase lean body mass without the dangerous side effects
found in steroids. It also helps keep the athlete healthy by accelerating the healing of athletic injuries and boosting
the immune system, which becomes depressed after extreme exercise.
Greater lean muscle mass
Muscle, along with strong tendons and bones, makes athletes faster, stronger and entirely superior to their
opponent in every discipline. The easily absorbed protein and synergistic elements found in Elixir for Life™ makes
the acquisition of more muscle possible. Studies have proven that a daily supplementation of Elixir for Life™
can increase strength and stamina by 20%.
Elixir for Life™’s is vital for muscle growth and tissue repair. But unlike steroids, Elixir for Life™ does not upset the
natural balance of your hormones, which leads to side effects. It is certified by the top WADA approved HFL
Laboratory as being drug free and suitable for athletes and players at the elite level. Dr Louise Burke, the head of
nutrition at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, describes Elixir for Life™ as “the hottest supplement in the
athletics world at the moment.”
Faster repair of damage
ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ contains natural antibodies and immunomodulatory components that
act as anti-inflammatory agents and factors which aid in growth and strength. Studies found Elixir for Life™
contains anti-inflammatory agents so strong that it has been prescribed as a natural remedy for people with
debilitating diseases that affect joints and cartilage. When in training these anti-inflammatory agents enable
athletes to train harder for longer periods of time. Recovery is much faster and the immune system stays strong
and can deal with the stresses of exercise. If injury does occur then the growth and repair factors in Elixir for Life™
help rebuild the muscle, bone and cartilage at a faster rate.
Athletic Performance
In short, supplementation with 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ based products produces better athletes,
increases oxygen uptake, promotes faster recovery from effort and greater lean muscle mass, and leads to faster
repair of damage. Training and exercise stimulates growth and improves performance but only full recovery permits
that growth to actually occur. This product helps to insure full recovery and prevent debilitating injuries.

Isis, in Egyptian mythology, is the incredible goddess who holds the thread of life. Her symbol is the tiet/tyet,
meaning welfare/life. It is also called the Knot of Isis or the blood of Isis; and it represents the idea of eternal
life/resurrection. Isis is depicted by the star Sept (Sirius) which is the star of the New Year. The name Isis is still a
beloved name among modern Coptic Egyptians, and in Europe the name (Isadora) i.e. Gift of Isis is still common.
Isis is known as: Protector of kings, She who seeks justice for the poor people, and She who seeks shelter for the
weak people. Isis is the epitome of the rights of kings.
Plutarch was a Greek historian, biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist. In a paragraph from his writings on Isis
and Osiris, Isis says; “I am nature, the universal Mother, mistress of all the elements, primordial child of time,
sovereign of all things spiritual,…my nod governs the shining heights of Heavens, the wholesome sea breezes.”
Functional foods are food components that provide demonstrated physiological benefits, or reduce the risk of
chronic disease, above and beyond their basic nutritional functions. A nutraceutical is a product isolated or purified
from foods that is generally sold in medicinal forms not usually associated with food, such as powders, tablets or
capsules. It is demonstrated to have a physiological benefit, or to have provided protection against chronic disease.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ powder can be broken down into a number of nutraceuticals, (more than 200
elements, many not found in any other whole food on earth) and it can also be considered a whole functional food.
It should also be understood that the efficacy of the individual components is compromised when the whole is
broken down and its elements segregated. It is very important to us that our product remain intact as a natural
food. The general consensus is that it is a synergistic nutraceutical since it is in powder or capsule form.
ISIS 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ powder and capsules
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ is a synergistic substance that contains many components whose combined
strength is much greater than the sum of the individual parts. It is a substance whose whole design and purpose is
to generate and promote life and vitality. Removing any of these components from the whole Elixir for Life™
destroys the synergistic effect that research has proven to be so remarkable. Elixir for Life™ is high in
carbohydrates, high in protein, high in antibodies, and low in fat. It delivers its nutrients in a very concentrated low-
volume form. Elixir for Life™ contains large numbers of antibodies called "secretory immunoglobulin" (IgA) that help
protect the mucous membranes in the throat, lungs, and intestines. Leukocytes are also present in large numbers;
these protect against harmful viruses and bacteria, and ingesting Elixir for Life™ establishes beneficial bacteria in
the digestive tract.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ Contains the Following Protecting, Regulating, and Support Factors. This is not
an exhaustive list. There are other agents and compounds in ISIS Elixir for Life™ which have evolved from the time
of the earliest mammals to ensure survival and promote health, strength, and vitality.
- For Protection
Immunoglobulins
Immunoglobulins fight against bacteria, viruses, and yeast.
Elixir for Life™ contains immunoglobulins IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM.
Leukocytes
Leukocytes stimulate the production of interferon which slows viral production.
Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin defends against infection and cancerous tumors. It increases oxygen uptake and delivery, and is
also anti-inflammatory.
Lysozyme
Lysozyme destroys bacteria and viruses.
For Regulation
Proline-rich polypeptides
Proline-rich polypeptides (PRP’s) are the most important part of Elixir for Life™. PRP’s both initiate and
suppress the immune response. Suppressing the immune system is required to prevent the immune system
from attacking the body itself, as occurs with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid authorities and lupus.
Cytokines
Cytokines are interlukins that regulate the intensity and duration of the immune responses. They are highly
antiviral and anti-tumorous.
Interlukin-10
Interlukin-10 reduces inflammation caused by arthritis, infection or injury whether from surgery or trauma.
Lymphokines
Lymphokines regulate the immune response.
For Support
Growth Factors
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)
Prolactin
Epithelial growth factor
Transforming growth factors A and B
Fibroblast growth factor
Gonadotropin releasing hormone
Associated peptide and growth hormone
While young, the human body produces maximum amounts of growth factors. After about age 16 – 20, we
start to produce less and less of the hormones and growth factors necessary to maintain and repair our
bodies. This is one of the reasons that the physical body and the mind age, and why the supplementation of
these substances can slow or even reverse ageing.
Function of Growth Factors:
Promote wound healing and tissue repair
Stimulate growth and regeneration of cartilage, nerve, bone, and muscle
Balance blood sugars
Increase the breakdown of fat
Serotonin uptake
It is believed that IgF-1 crosses the blood brain barrier with the result of increased mental acuity and
increased serotonin uptake.
Function of Neucleotides
Facilitate cellular energy transfer.
- Many other elements are found in our 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ that naturally aid in the
regulation of hormones and gene function, and in protecting DNA from the effects of the environment. It also
contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
The globule phospholipid membranes found naturally in Elixir for Life™ form liposomes around the products
compounds and include sphingomyelin and phospholipids which plays important roles in mammalian metabolism.
For example, sphingomyelin makes up a large portion of the myelin sheathes that insulate our nerves, just like the
plastic or rubber sheath on an electric wire. These important fats and lipids are critical to insure maximum
absorption into tissues and membranes. They help protect the Elixir for Life™ from the action of stomach and
intestinal acids and digestive enzymes so that the bioactive molecules reach their intended targets in the body
rather than being digested. We use only the highest quality ingredients available in all ISIS™ products to insure
their effectiveness.
Our 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ delivers naturally occurring IgG levels of at least 25% or higher and a
minimum of three percent Proline-rich Polypeptides. We also offer a concentrated colostrum with 40% IgG.
Digestive aid supplements
- Elixir for life™ Pro-biotic Digestive Aid Supplements
Elixir for life™ Pro-biotic Digestive Aid Supplements for Kids
ISIS™ Digestive Aid Supplements are a new pro-biotic formulation developed specifically to promote healthy
intestinal flora. It is a fast acting, antibiotic resistant pro-biotic. While most retail pro-biotic products have less than
five billion viable cells per serving, Elixir for life™ Pro-biotic Digestive Aid Supplements takes the lead with 40 billion
viable cells per serving. This is a must if you have taken antibiotics or have irritable bowel syndrome.
Vitamin and mineral supplements
- Elixir for life™ Daily Balance for Men
Elixir for life™ Daily Balance for Women
ISIS™ complete multi-nutrient complex starts with the highest quality vitamins and minerals you expect in a multiple
vitamin. Then a unique combination of special nutrients is added. Many of these additional nutrients are little-
known favorites of nutritional experts and are usually found only in a few expensive specialty formulas.
The unique and natural ingredients found in Elixir for life™ Daily Balance Daily Balance support optimal health in
key areas not covered by traditional multivitamins. In addition to containing Elixir for life™, there are 15 of the world’
s greatest super-foods that range from nutrient-dense green foods like chlorella and broccoli sprouts to royal jelly
and multi-colored vegetables. This means that there are hundreds of additional “known” nutrients as well as “new”
nutrients that enhance the value of Elixir for life™ Daily Balance.
It is ideal to have a vast array of nutrients in one multivitamin, but it is just as important that each nutrient is in an
amount and form that the body can absorb. That’s why we use high quality raw materials and Bioperine™ - a
patented Indian pepper extract clinically proven to increase overall absorption of nutrients.
Our Elixir for life™ Daily Balance formula provides memory and brain support, liver support, digestive system
benefits, support for eye health, heart protection, and most critical of all, it promotes enjoyment of life.
ISIS Serum of Life™ Skin Care Line
There are thousands of skin care products on the market today. However, Elixir for Life™ based skin care products
are a relatively new concept. We have developed a line of products that are designed to take advantage of our
products effectiveness in promoting healthy and young looking skin. The following is a list of the products we intend
to offer.
- ISIS Elixir for Life™ Firming and Hydrating Complexion Serum
ISIS Elixir for Life™ Vitamin Packed Firming and Hydrating Facial Masque
ISIS Elixir for Life™ Exfoliating Cream
ISIS Elixir for Life™ Rich Firming and Hydrating Body Cream
ISIS Elixir for Life™ Hair Growth Serum
reduce wrinkles. It helps maintain skin health both from the inside through its antioxidant effect, and externally by
healing skin inflammation and stimulating cell growth.
Lipid Delivery System – 100% Natural Elixir for Life™
Liposomes composed of various types of lipids (fats) have been used for nearly 40 years as delivery systems for
drugs, cosmetics, and many other innovative uses since they were first described in 1965. Bioactive molecules,
such as those which compose Elixir for Life™, need to cross biological membranes in order to enter the body,
whether it is in the gastrointestinal tract, the skin, the pulmonary tract or the cornea, and once in the body, there are
other membranous barriers to cross to get to their sites of action, such as vascular walls and the blood-brain
barrier.
The globule phospholipid membranes found naturally in Elixir for Life™ are unique in that they are bipolar molecules
with one end being hydrophilic (“water-loving”) and the other end being lipophilic (“fat-loving”). This means that the
liposomes will carry both hydrophilic and lipophilic molecules equally well. The bipolarity of the phospholipid
molecules is what accounts for the self-assembly of the membrane when the phospholipids are introduced into a
watery environment. It also accounts for the ease with which the liposome merges with other cell membranes when it
encounters them, such as in the lining of the gut or on the skin. Skin care products, which also have this lipid
delivery system, are superior to non-liposomal skin care products because the ingredients are able to penetrate
much deeper into the levels of the skin where they can be of maximum benefit.
* Health Management (including Heart Disease, Cancer, Immunity)
Certain health crises and diseases, here presented as subcategories of health management, are doing the
“driving” when it comes to consumer needs: heart disease, cancer and arthritis.
But immunity against these conditions is also included as representative of how a trend can result from a proactive
direction; rather than react to disease states plaguing our population, developers of wellness foods and beverages
are trying to get ahead of the curve. “An ounce of prevention…”
ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™, and ISIS™ products based around Elixir for Life™, have the
capability to target virtually all of these market trends, benefiting all target markets and age groups.
● Heart Health
Case in point: The following is a documented personal experience of an individual with congestive heart failure
following a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy. As the summary relates, the individual routinely supplemented his diet with
high quality Elixir for Life™.
Excerpted from an article in: The Colostrum Option vol 3, 2000, titled, "Doctors Can't Explain His Recovery from
Congestive Heart Failure."
The benefits realized here were most likely due to the small amounts of growth hormone and substantial amounts of
insulin-like growth factor-1 present in high quality Elixir for Life™.
Reference:
Anwar A, Gaspz JM, et al; Effect of congestive heart failure on the insulin-like growth factor-1 system, Am J Cardiol
2002; 90(12): 1402-5.
Alfred E. Fox, Ph.D. also explains some of the benefits that can be realized by routine use of a high quality Elixir for
Life™ product, which is rich in growth factors and immunoglobulins. He states, “The multitude of available IGF-1
binding proteins and related proteins available in the cell is indicative of the many potential effects that the binding
of IGF-1 to its specific cell-surface receptor can have on cells. Growth hormone is extremely potent and, thus, only
a small quantity is required. It directly influences the generation of new cells and the repair of existing tissues. By
contrast, insulin-like growth factor-1 is far more powerful and has a much broader range of effects on cell
development, the control of metabolism and the derivation of energy. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and its
closely related counterpart insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2), which are potent hormones that are found in
association with almost all cells in the body. IGF-1 is the best described and most potent of this pair. These
molecules are produced by all mammals and, in every case, have a very similar chemical structure regardless of the
species.
As we age, the ability of our body to create an adequate supply of IGF-1 is diminished. Thus, by eating a well-
balanced diet and maintaining a constant supply of IGF-1 in our body, we can keep the ship moving at the right
speed and in the right direction. And when we exercise this becomes even more critical since there is an increased
demand for glycogen to provide energy to our muscles and the preference is to build more muscle protein. Even
more importantly, as we age the cells in our body do not reproduce themselves as well and, since IGF-1 is a primary
factor in the ability of cells to grow and reproduce, it is highly desirable to have an appropriate level of IGF-1 in the
circulation through dietary supplementation to limit the ever increasing rate of cell death.”
Dr. Alfred E. Fox holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University in Microbiology (Immunochemistry) and has more than 25
years of senior management experience at Carter-Wallace, Baxter Dade Division and Warner-Lambert, where he
was responsible for research and development and regulatory affairs. For the past 15 years, Dr. Fox has been the
President of Fox Associates, a business and technology consulting firm serving small-to mid-size companies in the
human and animal health care fields.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ also reduces blood pressure. An increasingly large body of evidence shows
that Elixir for Life™, in particular, is an excellent heart health food, especially for those with high blood pressure.
- Insulin and IGF-I (both found in Elixir for Life™) relax coronary arteries, which decreases the blood pressure
in the coronary arteries - Proteins and peptides as well as other substances found in Elixir for Life™ and milk help lower blood
pressure, especially when consumed with a low-fat, high fruit and vegetable diet
Current research published by the British Journal of Pharmacology indicates for the first time that the adipocytokine,
leptin, has direct cardio protective properties. The research study specifically states: “CONCLUSIONS AND
IMPLICATIONS: Our data indicate for the first time that the adipocytokine, leptin, has direct cardio protective
properties which may involve the PI3-Akt and p44/42 MAPK pathways.”
Animal studies have been suggestive that lactoferrin, one of the principal proteins found in Elixir for Life™, may help
prevent or shrink cancers. Elixir for Life™ also contains milk fats which have been shown to be ant carcinogenic.
- Lactoferrin prevents colon , bladder , tongue , esophagus and lung cancers and lung metastasis in
animal models. The underlying mechanisms are under study but appear to be related to lactoferrin’s ability to
boost immune system function - Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and other fats found in Elixir for Life™ and milk have also been shown to ant
carcinogenic properties
Cancer is a class of diseases noted for unchecked, aberrant cell growth and proliferation. Suspected causes of
cancer are numerous, but cell damage caused by genetic, environmental and dietary causes has been checked in
studies by antioxidant compounds. In fact, the connection between antioxidant intake and reduction of cancer risk is
one of the more heavily studied nutrition links, and shows some of the strongest results.
Unchecked free radicals have been linked, at least in part, as the causative agents of a number of disease
conditions including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and improper nervous & immune system function. A growing
number of scientific and medical research studies have successfully shown that antioxidants can deactivate free
radicals and thus limit the spread of certain disease states. Basically antioxidants act as free radical scavengers and
thus removing them from the body before they can cause their harmful effects.
One of the properties of ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™, in addition to all of its other benefits, is a source of
wide range antioxidants. One such antioxidant - Glutathione - has been described as the "Ultimate Antioxidant". It is
very well documented that glutathione and its precursors are present in Elixir for Life™ in relatively high levels. In
this capacity glutathione and glutathione precursors play an important part in Elixir for Life™'s role in overall health.
Glutathione also referred to, as GSH is a naturally occurring peptide or small protein, which has a primary function
as an antioxidant. Linus Pauling was a leading advocate of antioxidants and their respective role in prevention of
disease and the promotion of overall good health. Antioxidants for the most part are naturally occurring compounds
that possess the ability to neutralize unstable "free radicals".
Cancer cells in adults contain a large number of mutations acquired over a lifetime's exposure to environmental
carcinogens, toxins, and free radicals. These substances damage the bodies DNA - the blueprint of life. Antioxidants
have been shown to protect the DNA from excessive damage and help in the synthesis and repair. The cellular level
of glutathione has been described as predictive factor in determining our life expectancy. Glutathione regulates the
actions of other less effective antioxidants such as vitamins C & E.
● Aging, Memory & Immunity
Aging, including energy and memory loss, came up fast as consumer needs, especially to the demographic
juggernaut of baby boomers turning 60 in 2006. This Peter Pan generation is in charge and too busy to become the
seniors its parents’ generation was. Having the stamina and mental acuity to stay in charge is of prime importance to
this sector of the market.
Aging
Are antioxidants the fountain of youth? That question remains debatable, but it is known that oxidative stress and
high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), by-products of normal metabolism which build up in the body, can
cause widespread damage and increase the aging process. Elixir for Life™ contains antioxidants and the precursors
to glutathione (the most powerful antioxidant known) which help clean up these pollutants from the body and reverse
the damage they do to the body.
- Oxidation by-products of metabolism cause extensive damage to DNA, proteins and lipids, which ultimately
results in aging, cancer and other degenerative diseases - Chronic oxidative stress can accelerate cell senescence in human endothelial cells
- Elixir for Life™ is rich in antioxidants, including glutathione, the most powerful antioxidant known, and its
precursors - Elixir for Life™ reduces ferricytochrome C and suppresses myeloperoxidase and lysozyme activity in human
polymorph nuclear leukocytes (PMN), activities which are important in the mediation of acute inflammation - PRP turns down lipid peroxidation, reducing the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cell
- Lactoferrin acts as an antioxidant in the gut
Skin Health and Wound Healing
Elixir for Life™ is a natural for good skin health. It contains all that is needed to maintain healthy skin and reduce
wrinkles. It helps maintain skin health both from the inside, by healing leaky gut syndrome and through its
antioxidant effect, and externally by healing skin inflammation and stimulating cell growth.
- Elixir for Life™ helps heal leaky gut syndrome, an abnormal condition which allows unwanted pathogens and
toxins into the body, which then may cause skin eruptions as the body attempts to remove them - Lactoferrin’s role as an antioxidant helps clean up free radicals which can cause skin aging changes
- Lactoferrin applied topically can inhibit local inflammatory responses in the skin by regulating the expression
of TNF-α - Growth factors found in Elixir for Life™, such as epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and insulin-
like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), help maintain healthy skin by replacing damaged tissue and can accelerate
wound healing , while a lack of IGF-1 retards wound healing - Skin becomes thin with aging due to a reduction in growth factors with age; IGF-1 supplementation can help
restore skin thickness - Ceramide, the predominant lipid in the skin and a metabolite of sphingomyelin, one of the phospholipids found
in Elixir for Life™ and BIO-lipid, is important for both water retention and permeability barrier function;
decreased levels of ceramide are associated with dermatitis and dry skin conditions - Sphingosines, which are also metabolites of sphingomyelin, also are important in maintaining the barrier
function of the skin against pathogens, including bacteria and fungi , and can even be used as topical
antiseptics
Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) are also found in relatively high amounts in
Elixir for Life™. Both of these growth factors stimulate tissue repair & wound healing.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported that the most effective means to stop or slow the aging process
would be to replace the hormonal factors that cause the human body to grow normal cellular structures. After
maturity (between the ages of 16 to 20), the level of growth hormone the body naturally produces dwindles. As a
result, the body loses muscle tone and skin elasticity, causing sagging and wrinkling. The body also slowly shrinks
and loses bone mass, while the hands, feet, nose and ears get larger.
Extensive research has shown that the growth factors in Elixir for Life™ colostrum have an anti-aging effect, similar
to that found with the replacement of such hormones as DHEA and melatonin. Elixir for Life™’s growth factors,
however, are naturally occurring and work naturally both to replace the body’s own growth factors and to stimulate
the endocrine system to keep producing these vital and revitalizing hormones.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ colostrum has a perfectly balanced combination of immune and growth factors
that safely increases IGF (insulin like growth factor) to optimum levels, producing increased muscle weight and
strength. In a double-blind study of members of the Finnish Olympic Ski Team, subjects displayed elevated levels of
IGF-1 in blood serum and significantly increases stamina, performance and recovery time. This agrees with the
results of a recent study at the University of South Australia in which athletes displayed improved stamina and
recovery time. The growth factors in Elixir for Life™s have been shown to tone muscles, “melt” body fat, return
elasticity to the skin and increase bone density, giving aging adults a real hope that they may be able to slow down
the aging clock naturally!!
In a Great Health News article titled “Fountain of Youth Rediscovered? Colostrum as an Anti-Aging Agent” by Donald
R. Henderson, M.D., M.P.H, he describes Elixir for Life™colostrum as “The Anti-Aging Connection.” He specifically
states “While changes due to aging in our cells, muscles and immune system sound like a series of irreversible
processes, they can be slowed with colostrum because of the growth factors it contains. Elixir for Life™’s nutritional
properties alone is of tremendous value to us. The highly beneficial polypeptides, immune and growth factors which
are present in Elixir for Life™ offer considerable possibilities for the prevention and recovery of illnesses and
disease. Elixir for Life™ also offers doctors, researchers, and the general population great potential as a tool for
treatments that will help slow the aging process.”
Memory
As the number of senior citizens increases with improved health care and longer life expectancy, the effects of
Alzheimer’s disease will continue to take a toll on our health system and our senior citizens. Elixir for Life™ contains
components which have been shown to benefit those suffering from this debilitating condition.
Of 15 Alzheimer’s patients receiving PRP in a clinical trial, 8 showed clinical improvement and the rest stabilized,
whereas of those receiving selenium or a placebo, none showed improvement
Phosphatidylserine, one of the phospholipids found in Elixir for Life™, has been shown to be of benefit when given
to patients suffering from Alzheimer’s or senile dementia
Immunity
The trend toward foods to enhance immunity is indicative of how deeply science has become a part of food.
Antioxidants are a big part of the immunity domain. Noting a nearly fourfold increase in products claiming to contain
antioxidants or make an Immunity-related Claim since 2002, Vierhile explains, "There are a couple of different things
going on. The first is that there is certain “trendiness” to the antioxidants claim. It sounds more “sophisticated” to say
a product is ‘high in antioxidants’ instead of ‘high in vitamins.’ I'm not sure the average consumer knows exactly what
antioxidants are, but there’s a growing realization antioxidants are good for you.”
Elixir for Life™ colostrum is loaded with everything the newborn needs to survive in the hostile world. Cows, unlike
humans, are unable to receive immunoglobulins across the placenta to “prime” the immune system, so the new born
needs a massive dose of immunoglobulins immediate after birth. Elixir for Life™ thus contains high amounts of
Immunoglobulin. IgG provides passive systemic immunity while IgA provides more localized immunity. Elixir for
Life™ is able to impart passive immunity to humans, protecting them against a broad spectrum of pathogens as well
as providing nonspecific immune support against all pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan
parasites. Elixir for Life™ also has the unique ability to modulate the immune system through the activity of a
particular protein known as Proline-Rich-Polypeptide (PRP) found in Elixir for Life™, which can heat up or cool down
the immune system depending upon what is needed by the host.
- Elixir for Life™ provides passive immunity against bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan parasites
- Lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme are non-specific bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal components
of Elixir for Life™ - Lactoferrin and lysozyme have been shown to act in concert with lactoferrin first binding to and removing the
lip polysaccharide protective coating of gram-negative bacteria (such as Vibrio cholerae (cholera), Salmonella
typhimurium (food poisoning) and Eschericia coli), allowing lysozyme to enter the bacterial cell, causing lysis - Lactoferrin is effective against HIV and Human Cytomegalovirus
- Elixir for Life™ alleviates Cryptosporidosis, a life-threatening diarrhea which occurs as a secondary infection
in AIDS - Elixir for Life™ contains complement factors and oligosaccharides which also provide non-specific
antimicrobial protection - Elixir for Life™ contains PRP, a unique immunomodulatory peptide which causes the differentiation of
thymocytes into active T cells and stimulates the differentiation of B cells and can also act to tone down on
overactive immune system, such as is found in autoimmune diseases - PRP also stimulates the production of interferon-beta (IFN β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) by
peritoneal - Oral administration of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) from Elixir for Life™ causes a marked increase in the
proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, indicating that Elixir for Life™ stimulates the immune
system - Cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α), interleukins (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6) and interferon (IFNγ)
in Elixir for Life™, stimulate the developing immune system in infants as well as the depressed immune system
of aged individuals - Elixir for Life™ stimulates the formation of cytokines, interleukins 1, 3 and 6 (IL-1, IL-3, IL-6), by blood
leukocytes - Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), both found in Elixir for Life™, modulate
the activity of monocytes and macrophages in organizing immune responses to pathogens, either turning
them on or off depending on what is needed - Lactoferrin from Elixir for Life™ increase both motility and superoxide production by polymorphonuclear
leukocytes (white blood cells), apparently making them more effective in warding off infection - Elixir for Life™ can modulate natural killer cell activity by stimulating or inhibiting production of

The digestive tract is the source of a vast majority of our body’s immunity. Simply stated, if our intestine is unusually
permeable, then bacteria, viruses and other toxins may enter the bloodstream. This can lead to inflammation, food
allergies, and a mal-absorption of minerals. Some of the more common culprits causing a leaky gut include the use
of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), antibiotics, birth control pills, caffeine, and alcohol. In addition to
these culprits, any use of meth-amphetamines and other caustic drugs causes this condition.
The result of a leaky gut is a compromised immune system. Research has shown that Elixir for Life™ colostrum can
help maintain a healthy digestive environment and can prevent the development of a leaky gut. Moreover, the
growth factors in Elixir for Life™ play a key role by keeping the intestinal mucosal sealed and impermeable to toxins.
Elixir for Life™ has been shown to prevent gastro-intestinal tract injury caused by NSAIDs. It has been shown to
provide the ingredients we need to help with nutrient absorption. In essence, Elixir for Life™’s immune and growth
factors help repair the damaged intestinal walls.
Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases are the result of an overactive immune system which begins to produce antibodies to the
body’s own proteins. PRP, a unique substance found only in Elixir for Life™, has the ability to tone down the
overactive immune system to normal levels. Elixir for Life™ also contains components which can alleviate the
symptoms found in various autoimmune disorders, particularly those with inflammation of some body organ.
- Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease respond to the anti-inflammatory
components of Elixir for Life™ - PRP has therapeutic value in treating autoimmune diseases through its immunomodulatory effects and may
be able to stimulate the formation of specific suppressor cells which inhibit the development of these
diseases - A clinical study showed that patients with multiple sclerosis who received anti-measles Elixir for Life™ showed
significant improvement in their condition versus those who received non-anti-measles Elixir for Life™
Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues
normally present in the body. In other words, the body attacks its own cells. Autoimmune diseases are a major cause
of immune-mediated diseases.
Today there are more than 40 human diseases classified as either definite or probable autoimmune diseases, and
they affect 5% to 7% of the population . Almost all autoimmune diseases appear without warning or apparent
cause, and most patients suffer from fatigue.
Causes
The causes of autoimmune diseases are still obscure: Some are thought to be either examples of or precipitated by
diseases of affluence. For example, arthritis and obesity are acknowledged to be related, and the World Health
Organization states that arthritis is most common in developed countries. Most autoimmune diseases are probably
the result of multiple circumstances, for example, a genetic predisposition triggered by an infection.
Gender influence
Women tend to be affected more often by autoimmune disorders; nearly 79% of autoimmune disease patients in the
USA are women. Also they tend to appear during or shortly after puberty. It is not known why this is the case,
although hormone levels have been shown to affect the severity of some autoimmune diseases such as multiple
sclerosis. Other causes may include the presence of fetal cells in the maternal bloodstream.
ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ colostrumvery effectively addresses this issue, offering a viable and proven
treatment to help prevent these diseases initially, and check them after onset.
● Arthritis and Bone Health
Datamonitor reports that promoting nutrients for their role in skin and hair health leads consumers to “understand
they can look beautiful and healthy on the outside while maintaining health on the inside.” However, also of great
significance to our aging population is the nutritional role in maintaining supple joints and addressing the effects of
menopause.
Arthritis
There are numerous forms of arthritis, from osteoarthritis to autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis which arise from many
different causes. The common denominator between all the different forms of arthritis, however, is an inflammation
of the joints which causes extreme pain and deformation of the joint structure. Elixir for Life™ is a powerful anti-
inflammatory compound which can significantly benefit arthritis sufferers, and it can help heal inflammation of the gut
which has been linked to some forms of arthritis.
- Some forms of arthritis and arthritic conditions have been linked to increased intestinal permeability, which
Elixir for Life™ helps heal - Elixir for Life™ or its components have been used to treat forms of arthritis which manifest an inflamed gut
Anti-Inflammatory
Inflammatory conditions are a major source of pain, including arthritis, colitis and other similar conditions. Elixir for
Life™ has anti-inflammatory activity which can reduce inflammation, thus helping reduce the progression and pain
due to these conditions.
- Elixir for Life™ has anti-inflammatory activity
- Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) receptors in Elixir for Life™ bind TNF-α, a cytokine which controls the
inflammatory cytokine cascade, effectively turning off inflammation at its source - Elixir for Life™ also contains interleukin-1ra (IL-1ra), the IL-1 receptor protein, which also acts to inactivate
the inflammatory activity of IL-1 - Elixir for Life™ has been shown to be beneficial to chronic inflammatory diseases, such as various forms of
arthritis and Crohn’s disease, which have been linked to gut inflammation - Lactoferrin has strong antioxidant characteristics which take place by two separate mechanisms: binding
catalytic iron generated during cell destruction; and binding bacterial lipo-polysaccharide (LPS) which causes
a decrease in LPS bioactivity, such as increasing neutrophil O2 production - Lactoferrin also inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines
- PRP also acts as an oxidative stress regulator
Bone Health
Our aging population – the over-65 demographic is expected to roughly double in the next couple of decades – is
bringing more attention to bone-health problems. The Datamonitor report, “Insights Into Tomorrow’s Nutraceutical
Consumers,” reveals that the numbers of consumers with bone health problems have increased 1 percent a year in
Europe and by more than 2 percent per year in the U.S. from 1999 to 2004.
This is significantly above population growth; there is a close correlation between poor bone health and age (so
much so, official osteoporosis statistics only include people over 55 years old). The increased prevalence of arthritis
has been driven almost entirely by population ageing.
Some growth factors help epidermal cells (skin and digestive tract) grow while other growth factors stimulate muscle
and bone cell proliferation and development. Of significant interest is the fact that bovine growth factors
found in Elixir for Life™ are almost identical to that of human in both structure and function.
Growth factors and cytokines present in Elixir for Life™ and their respective actions are as follows:
● Obesity
The U.S. Surgeon General report declared that obesity is responsible for 300,000 deaths each year. These
overwhelming research statistics reveal an alarming obesity trend, the need for diagnosis, and a call to action. The
most widely disseminated CDC research statistics on American obesity tell us that 63% of adult Americans have a
Body Mass Index (BMI) in excess of 25.0 and are therefore overweight; more than a quarter surpass 30.0, having
been declared obese. Perhaps the most riveting statistics concern obesity in kids: research shows that childhood
obesity has more than tripled over the past two decades.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, an estimated 40 percent of overweight children and 70 percent of obese
children will remain overweight or obese through adulthood. This suggests the obesity epidemic will be with us for at
least another generation or more.
The millions of children who are either overweight or obese accounts for the dramatic surge in type II diabetes. As
with their adult counterparts, obese children are far more likely than their contemporaries to suffer any number of
concomitant health problems and risks.
The child obesity crisis has led to a renewed interest in earlier healthy food starts. According to a recent report by
Mintel, baby food and drink companies are looking for new options to boost sales within the $3.5 billion-plus baby
food and drink market. The report states, “Toddler-focused foods and organic products are new avenues
manufacturers can explore to address new markets within the category.
"There is a stronger emphasis placed on nutrition and combating obesity in the younger years than ever before,"
said Erin Fowler, analyst for Mintel. "Parents are looking for the proper nutritional mix for their children earlier.
However, they are still feeling the pressures of a time-deprived society, so more convenient offerings that can
promote better health for toddlers are a necessity.”

Leptin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leptin (from the Greek word leptos, meaning thin) is a 16 kDa protein hormone that plays a key role in regulating
energy intake and energy expenditure, including the regulation (decrease) of appetite and (increase) of metabolism.
The effects of leptin were observed by studying mutant obese mice that arose at random within a mouse colony at
the Jackson Laboratory in 1950. These mice were massively obese and hyperphagic. Leptin itself was discovered
in 1994 by Jeffrey M. Friedman and colleagues at the Rockefeller University through the study of those mutant
mice. The Ob(Lep) gene (Ob for obese and Lep for leptin) is located on chromosome 7 in humans. Leptin is
produced by adipose tissue and interacts with six types of receptor (LepRa–LepRf). LepRb is the only receptor
isoform that contains active intracellular signaling domains. This receptor is present in a number of hypothalamic
nuclei, where it exerts its effects. Importantly, leptin binds to the ventral medial nucleus of the hypothalamus, known
as the "satiety center." Binding of leptin to this nucleus signals to the brain that the body has had enough to eat—a
sensation of satiety. A very small group of humans possess homozygous mutations for the leptin gene which lead to
a constant demand for food, resulting in severe obesity. This condition can be successfully treated by the
administration of recombinant human leptin.
Large quantities of leptin are present in ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™, and although considered an
exogenous source of leptin, it contains the synergistic properties to insure absorption into tissue cells and is able to
pass the blood-brain barrier. This is a potent tool to be used to combat obesity and maintain healthy weight. The
following study documents leptin levels found in Elixir for Life™ vs. whole milk.

Abstract
- We studied leptin content in Elixir for Life™, milk and plasma during the first month of lactation, and
investigated relationships between selected milk components and milk leptin in five multiparous dairy cows.
Elixir for Life™/milk yield and composition were measured on days 0, 10, 20, and 30 of lactation. Leptin was
assayed using a multi-species leptin RIA kit. Leptin concentration was 56 % lower in mature milk (day 10) than
Elixir for Life™ (13.90 vs. 6.14 µg/l; p < 0.001), but remained steady over the twenty days afterwards. Daily
secretion of leptin into mature milk was 28 % lower than into Elixir for Life™ (173.2 µg/d vs. 220.0 µg/d; p =
0.09) notwithstanding an 80 % increase in production. Elixir for Life™ and milk leptin levels correlated with fat
(0.90; p < 0.001) and choline phospholipid (0.76; p < 0.05). Plasma and milk leptin decreased during the first
month, but remained higher in milk, and highest in Elixir for Life™ colostrum. Thus, leptin is present in large
quantities in Elixir for Life™, less so and more variably in untreated milk, and is likely to be decreased in
skimmed milk. These findings have implications for the use of untreated milk and Elixir for Life™-based
(functional) food products.
“Untreated” is emphasized here as further studies have found that the de-fatting of colostrum and milk, the
pasteurization and the homogenization processes, all greatly reduce the amounts of leptin found naturally in whole
Elixir for Life™ and whole milk. It is critical to look for only 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ products to insure you are
getting the real deal.
Leptin is a powerful protein hormone that, according to scientific research, regulates the ob (obese) gene. If
consumers are frustrated by an inability to lose weight no matter how hard they try, there are three main reasons for
their problem:
- The issue is genetic or there is an imbalance of hormones. The body cannot accurately regulate the ob
(obese gene). - Over time they have developed poor eating habits - to the point of it being an addition - which throws the
metabolic control mechanisms out of balance. - They suffer from a combination of 1 and 2.
ISIS™ Nutraceuticals products not only contain leptin, but the entire range of substances needed to successfully
maintain a healthy weight. You need the complete whole package in order for the process to work correctly with
your body. One isolated substance is not able to do what it was intended to do without the aid of the rest of the
package. That’s what synergy is all about.
Scientists have known about leptin since 1949; however, in 1995 a study was done on mice which concluded that
leptin was responsible for regulating the obese gene. In short, this means that scientists actually found what made
mice obese: the absence of Leptin. Since then, massive amounts of research has been invested into fully
understanding the benefits surrounding Leptin.
When scientists were able to reduce the size of an obese mouse by 30% in just two weeks using daily injections of
Leptin, the picture below was pasted in nearly every magazine and news program.
- Over 300,000 people die in the U.S. each year from obesity. Obesity is both a chronic disease and a
behavioral problem. Treating just one often results in failure. With this in mind, scientists knew that if they had
proven, successful tests on mice, Leptin could work on obese humans also.
How It Works:
Taken daily, Leptin decreases the size of the fat cell itself. Unlike other cells in your body, the fat cell does not
"split" when it gets too large, it just keeps growing. With the presence of leptin, fat cells reduce in size until they
reach their normal size. This gives your body a better look as you lose inches and it also allows you to control your
weight as Leptin both suppresses your appetite and increases your metabolism.
Inside the body the instructions to make Leptin are carried by a gene that is sometimes defective in the ob (obese)
mouse or human. This means that if you are obese, chances are the gene that makes Leptin in your body is
damaged. No Leptin = Weight Gain. Result: Because the gene is defective, leptin cannot be produced, thus weight
cannot be controlled.
Leptin and weight loss:
Daily injections of leptin cause weight loss in a dose dependent manner, according to a study conducted at St.
Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital from April 1997 through October 1998. In the first phase of the trial, both normal weight
and obese participants given leptin lost small to moderate amounts of weight over a four week period. Obese
subjects continued on placebo or leptin for an additional 20 weeks. In both phases of the trial, subjects who lost the
most weight and body fat received the two highest leptin doses.
Measuring leptin resistance:
Studies indicate that obese individuals may be "leptin resistant", indicating an imbalance of hormones. This may
render treatment with recombinant leptin useless in those individuals. One theory of leptin resistance is that the
high level of serum leptin in obese individuals saturates the transport system resulting in smaller amounts crossing
the blood brain barrier. But Dr. Ken Fujioka of Scripps Clinic offers evidence that exogenously administered leptin
does cross the blood-brain barrier of obese patients, despite very high serum leptin concentrations. ISIS™ 100%
Natural Elixir for Life™ Colostrum is the most viable and Naturally potent exogenous source of leptin
available.
Histamine, leptin and feeding behavior:
Leptin and brain histamine have some striking similarities. Both follow a circadian rhythm and have an effect on
energy intake and expenditure. So it is not surprising that a recent study conducted at Oita Medical University in
Hasama, Japan has shown that hypothalamic histamine plays a role in regulation of feeding behavior via the leptin
pathway. In a series of rodent experiments, researchers found that histamine turnover was increased by leptin
injection, histamine depletion decreased the anorexic effect of leptin, and defects in leptin signaling, such as occur
in ob/ob and db/db mice, decreased the concentration of histamine in the brain.
Genetic mutations in animals:
Human leptin studies have only been conducted over the past few years, and most of what we know about leptin
stems from experiments on rodent models of obesity. There are two known types of leptin mutations which cause
obesity in rodents, a defect of the ob gene itself and in the long form of the ob receptor.
Leptin in human obesity:
Leptin is a hormone produced by fat tissue that regulates energy intake and expenditure. The name comes from the
Greek word leptos, meaning thin. Some scientists refer to it as the "master hormone" because it regulates a number
of other endocrine functions, including reproduction and hormonal regulation.
Although not identified until 1994 by Jeffrey Friedman, the search for the ob gene began more than 20 years ago
when Douglas Coleman, then a researcher at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, surgically joined the
blood vessels of an obese and normal size mouse, and found that the fat mouse immediately started to lose weight.
This was the first clue that the blood contains a biochemical messenger which plays a vital role in the regulation of
appetite and metabolism.
For nearly a decade scientists have known that leptin plays an important fat-burning role in humans. But the map of
leptin’s path through the body – the key to understanding how and why the hormone works – is still incomplete.
Many studies have found that the administration of leptin alone may not be effective in treating obesity, and may
actually have some undesirable side effects from high serum concentrations of leptin. This can happen if leptin is
not utilized and absorbed into the fat and tissue cells of the body (leptin resistance). However, when administered
through the consumption of ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™, the synergistic property of Elixir for
Life™ supports and enables the absorption of leptin into the fat and tissues, passing the blood/brain barrier and
making it an effective tool against obesity.
● Targeting the Athlete
The use of dietary supplements is widespread in sport. These supplements can range from mere daily multivitamin
tablets – seen by many as a health insurance policy – to the more exotic supplements that can be found on the
shelves of health food stores.
Supplements are very popular with athletes and an estimated 46% use them – compared to 35-40% of the general
population. Elite athletes have an even higher usage of supplements, 59% report using them. Of the wide range of
supplements used by athletes, only a few have been comprehensively evaluated and tested thoroughly by scientific
studies. ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ is one substance that is noteworthy enough to have the
scientific studies to back up its effectiveness.
Many athletes turn to supplements to enhance their energy or recovery and to give them an edge over their
competitors, but there is a down side, which is that many performance enhancing supplements come with a whole
host of side effects. ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ is a natural whole food with no known side
effects. It has not been shown to affect the outcome of drug testing, and its effectiveness has been
proven through extensive clinical studies and in several double blind studies. Elixir for Life™ is becoming
better-known in the athletic community as a means to increase lean body mass without the dangerous side effects
found in steroids. It also helps keep the athlete healthy by accelerating the healing of athletic injuries and boosting
the immune system, which becomes depressed after extreme exercise.
Greater lean muscle mass
Muscle, along with strong tendons and bones, makes athletes faster, stronger and entirely superior to their
opponent in every discipline. The easily absorbed protein and synergistic elements found in Elixir for Life™ makes
the acquisition of more muscle possible. Studies have proven that a daily supplementation of Elixir for Life™
can increase strength and stamina by 20%.
Elixir for Life™’s is vital for muscle growth and tissue repair. But unlike steroids, Elixir for Life™ does not upset the
natural balance of your hormones, which leads to side effects. It is certified by the top WADA approved HFL
Laboratory as being drug free and suitable for athletes and players at the elite level. Dr Louise Burke, the head of
nutrition at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, describes Elixir for Life™ as “the hottest supplement in the
athletics world at the moment.”
Faster repair of damage
ISIS™ 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ contains natural antibodies and immunomodulatory components that
act as anti-inflammatory agents and factors which aid in growth and strength. Studies found Elixir for Life™
contains anti-inflammatory agents so strong that it has been prescribed as a natural remedy for people with
debilitating diseases that affect joints and cartilage. When in training these anti-inflammatory agents enable
athletes to train harder for longer periods of time. Recovery is much faster and the immune system stays strong
and can deal with the stresses of exercise. If injury does occur then the growth and repair factors in Elixir for Life™
help rebuild the muscle, bone and cartilage at a faster rate.
Athletic Performance
- Elixir for Life™ supplementation produces a significant increase in lean body mass compared to whey
- Elixir for Life™ supplementation increases anaerobic power, performance time, and sprint performance when
compared to whey - Athletes have increased susceptibility to infectious diseases following strenuous exercise, and Elixir for Life™
boosts immunity, helps heal leaky gut syndrome and decreases recovery time in athletes - Marathon runners, who experience a significantly higher incidence or upper respiratory tract infections (URI)
in the weeks leading up to and following a marathon, had a much lower rate of URI when receiving Elixir for
Life™ supplementation as compared to placebo - Elixir for Life™ contains numerous growth factors and cytokines which accelerate the healing of athletic
injuries, including tendon, ligament and muscle injuries - When given • Elixir for Life™, serum IGF-1 levels increase even though the ingested IGF-1 in Elixir for Life™
is not absorbed and supplementation with Elixir for Life™ does not produce positive results for IGF-1 in
drug tests - IGF-1 when taken in its natural form is not banned by the International Olympic Committee, whereas synthetic
forms are. Elixir for Life™ is a natural source of IGF-1.
In short, supplementation with 100% Whole and Natural Elixir for Life™ based products produces better athletes,
increases oxygen uptake, promotes faster recovery from effort and greater lean muscle mass, and leads to faster
repair of damage. Training and exercise stimulates growth and improves performance but only full recovery permits
that growth to actually occur. This product helps to insure full recovery and prevent debilitating injuries.
