US-Based Sterling Study Confirms the Profound Results of the Freiburg Study!

January 7, 2017 by Melaleuca 1 Comment

In January 2015, Melaleuca announced the results of a groundbreaking clinical study on the Peak Performance Pack. The effects of a nutritional supplementation pack were tested on healthy individuals over the course of 12 weeks. In healthy participants, free radical activity declined, activity induced inflammation was reduced, and a whole host of additional health benefits were observed—from lower cholesterol and blood pressure to increased energy utilization and healthier blood sugar. This is the first time in history that a nutritional supplement has produced this type of result. While the results were profound, Melaleuca made it clear that the Freiburg Study was just the first study and that more clinical studies would follow.

Exactly two years later, Melaleuca has completed a follow-up study—this time at the Sterling Research Group in Cincinnati, Ohio—and the results clearly confirm the initial results of the Freiburg Study.

What was different about the Sterling Study?

While both the Freiburg Study and Sterling Study followed similar protocols, the populations of the two studies were drastically different. While both were comprised of healthy individuals with no known diseases, their starting variables were different. While all the participants in the Freiburg Study were Caucasian, approximately half of Sterling Study participants were of African American or Asian descent.

Powerful, unparalleled results add more life to your years

Free radicals and activity induced inflammation have been shown to contribute to overall health concerns. The Sterling Study provided additional evidence that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the Peak Performance Pack substantially reduce free radical activity and activity induced inflammation in our bodies.

Reducing these two key factors—free radicals and activity induced inflammation—was critical to creating the substantial improvements that were seen in other major health markers.

What does the Sterling Study mean for you?

The Sterling Study only strengthens the value and validity of the Freiburg Study. It gives us a more complete picture of how the entire healthy population responds to the Peak Performance Pack. Both studies demonstrated that the Peak Performance Pack moved participants closer to the ideal health state in numerous key health markers. More importantly, both studies also showed that healthy participants who were farthest from the ideal state saw the biggest improvements.

Conclusion

Even with a change in population, the Sterling Study concluded that participants saw the same improvements to health as those who participated in the Freiburg Study. Whoever you are, wherever you live, the Peak Performance Pack can have a direct impact on your health, your physical performance, and quality of your life.*

A supplement with results you can measure in as little as 60 minutes? That’s the Peak Performance Difference.

December 8, 2016 by Melaleuca 8 Comments

That’s the Peak Performance Difference.

There is no question that Americans are seeking better health. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that 53% of adults take a nutritional supplement daily. That adds up to over $5.7 billion every year. But are we getting our money’s worth? Numerous studies have begun to question the value of traditional multivitamin/multi-mineral supplements.

Don’t Leave Your Health to Chance

Melaleuca has been of the forefront of nutritional science for decades, so when they developed the Peak Performance Pack, it was only natural that they put the supplements to the test. Melaleuca commissioned the Freiburg study to determine the effects of the Peak Performance Pack on people. The first-of-its-kind study measured more than 25 key health markers in humans, including difficult to obtain data like resistance to induced inflammation and free radical levels, which help paint a more detailed picture of the effect of supplements on overall health. And the results were nothing short of profound.

Benefits in as Little as 60 minutes

For nearly a century, supplement manufacturers have been saying that the benefits of nutritional supplements are strictly long range—that the true benefits of the nutrition they offer will take years to truly manifest. Melaleuca’s Peak Performance Pack appears to break that mold. The Freiburg Study shows that many of the significant benefits of the Peak Performance Pack are measurable in the body in as little as one hour! Think about that—your health begins to improve within just 60 minutes, even if you consider yourself already healthy!

Within 60 minutes, Freiburg Study participants saw the following improvements:

10% reduction in free radical activity*
27% reduction in blood sugar*
35.8% improvement in resistance to inflammation*

Even Greater Improvements Over Time

While the results after 60 minutes were impressive, the Freiburg study also measured participants after 6 and 12 weeks of continuous Peak Performance Pack use. Even greater improvements were seen after 6 weeks of taking the pack, and the greatest level of improvement was observed after taking the pack for 12 weeks.* For complete study results, visit FreiburgStudy.com
Some of the key indicators of health measured include the following:

Free radical activity
Cholesterol
Blood fat
Blood pressure
C-reactive protein (heart health)
Heart rate
Glucose levels
Inflammation

Powered by Oligo^®

Melaleuca’s nutritional philosophy has always been to address basic nutrition first. That’s why the Peak Performance Pack is powered by Oligo.

Oligo is the only mineral delivery system that delivers minerals to the body in the same form they’re found in plants, by binding them with proteins and fibers. This provides superior mineral absorption and maximum antioxidant protection. The minerals processed with Oligo technology undoubtedly played an important role in the results of the Freiburg Study.*

Bernard Lagat uses many of Melaleuca’s products including the Peak Performance Pack. Bernard just became the oldest long-distance runner in history to qualify for U.S. Olympic Team. At 41 years old, his record-breaking performances show no sign of slowing down. In April, Bernard lowered his own World Masters Record for the road 5,000 meters. Then in May, Bernard blazed past competitors in the 10,000 meters to win the Patyon Jordan Invitational, setting a new World Masters Record in the process.

“After Melaleuca Convention 2015, I decided to start taking the Peak Performance Pack,” Bernard says. “I’m getting older, and I wanted to get that energy back. Plus, it’s really important for me to keep my nutrition balanced. I need that in my job to train well, be strong, and stay injury-free.”

Melaleuca’s Own McCaughey Septuplets Graduate High School, Look to Bright Future

May 26, 2016 by Melaleuca 13 Comments

Mother of first surviving set of septuplets credits Melaleuca supplements for the health of her babies.

A little more than 18 years ago, Bobbi McCaughey awaited the birth of her babies. Seven of them, to be exact. Contrary to prevailing medical advice, Bobbi and her husband Kenny relied on their faith and opted to not terminate any of the fetuses. Choosing this path meant she needed to get the very best nutrition possible if she had any chance of successful childbirth. With the help of a dear friend, she turned to Melaleuca.

“Our friends Bob and Genni Brown had been longtime users of Melaleuca products. And Genni, especially, just swore by the Vitality Pack® because of her experience with it,” Bobbi says.

Some days, it was all she could do just to get her Melaleuca multivitamin-mineral down. But she did. For her babies.

As babies develop during a pregnancy, they are totally dependent on their mother for the nutrition they need to grow and prosper. For Bobbi, the importance of getting the right nutrition was multiplied by seven. Each little body relied on her to provide it with the nourishment it needed to form into a healthy child. A problem complicated by the fact that some days, Bobbi could hardly keep anything down…except her Vitality for Life® supplements.

Before the McCaugheys, no single woman had ever successfully supported the nutritional needs of herself and seven fetuses. On November 19, 1997, Bobbi gave birth to the first set of septuplets in history to survive infancy.

Bobbi’s doctors attributed this amazing, first-ever accomplishment, to the nutrition Bobbi provided her babies by taking Melaleuca’s Vitality Pack.

“I think the most amazing part of it was not so much that we carried them to 30 weeks and that they were all doing well,” Bobbi says. “All of our kids were in the normal range for birth weight for their gestation, which they shouldn’t have been according to the doctors. There’s at least a couple of reasons why they were so healthy. Number one, I know that God caused it to be that way. And, number two, I knew that it had to be in part because I used the Vitality Pack through the majority of the pregnancy. And so I didn’t have to worry that I couldn’t eat enough during the day. I knew that I was still getting the vitamins and minerals I needed and, most importantly, that the babies needed. And to be able to get all the way through the pregnancy with almost zero complications, have a birth with zero complications, and have hardly any complications after birth with the kids, was just a miracle.”

Not only did they survive, this Melaleuca family continues to thrive. Over the years, they have kept their home clean with EcoSense® products, washed their clothes with MelaPower®, snacked on Simply Fit™ Popcorn and Bars, enjoyed Melaleuca Bath & Body products, used their fair share of MelaGel® on scraped knees, and, of course, continued to take Melaleuca nutritional supplements. And now that they’re all grown up, they take the Peak Performance Pack®.

On May 22, 2016, all seven of the kids walked the stage and graduated from Carlisle High School in their hometown of Carlisle, Iowa. From here, the future for these seven siblings is filled with possibilities.

According to Bobbi, Kenny Jr. was always on the go as a child. Today, he’s looking forward to a career in construction.

Brandon has always had a fascination with the military and spent his childhood in camouflage. He has enlisted in the Army and starts basic training on June 1.

Nathan, who has always loved superheroes, has a love for acting and theater.

Joel is known for his sense of humor.

Kelsey, who Bobbi used to describe as her tomboy, has always been the music lover. She performs in a choir group and wants to pursue a career in music. She shares this love for music with her sister, Alexis, who was on the Carlisle High School cheerleading squad her senior year.

Natalie, Joel, and Nathan have plans to attend college out of state.

Alexis and Natalie were part of the National Honor Society, graduating in the top 15 percent of their class.

Please join us in congratulating Kenny, Alexis, Natalie, Kelsey, Nathan, Brandon, and Joel and the entire McCaughey family for reaching the important milestone of graduating from Carlisle High School. Here’s to a bright and healthy future!
