You may have used Lewis Laboratories' 100% Pure Premium Imported Brewer's Yeast,
Fabulous Fiber, Lecithin or another of our quality health products but you probably
did not know Staminex was the first, and probably the best,
product we make.
Staminex is a combination of the richest and most concentrated
natural nutritional ingredients known, balanced in such a way as to provide
all 40 essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids (protein) which your body
needs everyday in order to maintain good health and energy. These, plus many
trace minerals and metals, are present in natural organic complexes, combined
with digestive enzymes so systematic assimilation is assured.
STAMINEX PROVIDES PROTEIN BALANCE
When you look in the mirror, what you see is protein. Our muscles, cartilage,
bones, organs, skin, nail and hair are all made of protein. Moreover, the thousands
of enzymes, hormones and neuro-transmitters which start, regulate and control
virtually every function of the body, are constructed of protein. All of these
tens of thousands of specialized proteins which build the body and enable it
to function, are constructed from 22 amino acids. Of these, given proper diet,
our bodies can manufacture 14. The remaining eight are the so-called "essential"
amino acids. Essential because they cannot be manufactured in the body and must
be supplied by the diet. If even one of these essentials is missing, then all
the amino acids are released back into general circulation and protein synthesis
does not take place. A further catch is that the essential amino acids must
be in a special quantitative relationship to each other for maximum benefit.
A single serving of Staminex meets, or exceeds, this standard for all eight
of the essential amino acids. The National Academy of Science (Hegsted Recommendation)
has established the ideal profile in terms of grams per day for each of the
eight. The American diet, in general, provides more than enough total protein
but that is no assurance the protein is of high quality and all the essential
amino acids are present.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEEF LIVER
Beef liver (ours is imported from Argentina) is an important component of Staminex.
If there is one food that surpasses all others in nutritional richness that
food is, undoubtedly, beef liver. Not only is its content of amino acids unique,
but its contribution of minerals, metals and trace elements is outstanding.
Liver has long been famous as a rich source of iron and the B-complex vitamins.
However, there are drawbacks to whole liver as a food. It is loaded with fat
and cholesterol. It is a storehouse of fat-soluble substances such as DDT and
herbicides. These are removed when the liver is defatted. That is why Staminex
uses only the finest defatted, desiccated beef liver imported from Argentina
and it is, therefore, free of chemical fertilizers and other impurities. The
liver is then concentrated to four times its natural potency by vacuum drying
at a low heat of 140° which gently preserves the rich nutrients. Yet there
appears to be even more to this liver than the wealth of nutrients we catalogue
? there is a hint of magic we call Staminex.
Wheat germ oil is one of the best natural sources of Vitamin E and this is
the main reason for its inclusion in the Staminex formula. However, in the authoritative
book "The Physiological Effects of Wheat Germ Oil on Humans in Exercise",
Dr. Thomas K. Cureton, Ph.D., reported significant increases in endurance, strength,
neuromuscular and cardiovascular fitness in controlled tests involving over
900 people. These results could not be explained based on known nutritional
factors in the oil and again, the value of the natural "sourcing"
of nutritional products is apparent.
Other natural ingredients used in the balanced Staminex formula
are fish liver oil concentrate, kelp, toasted wheat germ, soy oil, organ protein
concentrate, oil seed nut concentrate and many more. How many "unknown"
factors in these natural ingredients contribute to the Staminex magic we can
only guess we suspect it is significant.
Technically, Staminex is a superb product and it appears
to have a magic beyond what one would expect from its nutritional content alone.
We can count the vitamins, weigh the protein, measure the minerals but, locked
into the natural ingredients, there appears to be additional, and as yet undiscovered,
nutritional factors that provide unexpected bonus benefit.
It might be possible to put together a product with all the known nutritional
contents of the ingredients in Staminex by using vitamins and chemical equivalents
which would be easier and probably a lot cheaper but we would not know how to
add the Staminex magic.
Staminex will never win any prizes for flavor. However, mixed
with fruit juice and, perhaps, a little sweetener, e.g. honey, it can become
quite palatable. If you want flavor, you will have to add it. Staminex, taken
regularly, will almost always provide a noticeable, even dramatic, increase
in energy and mental alertness. Over a longer period, general health is likely
to improve. Natural ingredients are a bit of insurance against what the experts
do not yet know about nutrition. Once you try it you will want to make it the
foundation of your daily nutritional program.
