Progressive Nutritional Therapies
About our Company
Progressive Nutritional Therapies is a division of Body Plus Nutritional Products Inc., a privately held corporation that has specialized in the development and formulation of natural health products since 1984.
The entire family of Progressive products is manufactured in our own GMP certified production facility located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and includes vitamins & minerals, EFAs, green foods, phytonutrients, protein supplements and organic functional whole foods.
About our Products
The formulas themselves are specifically designed to help support the needs of a contemporary lifestyle. They are highly comprehensive and target the unique nutritional demands associated with our individual age, gender and activity level.
Each Progressive product is created with the assistance of renowned naturopath Dr. Mikhael Adams B.Sc., ND. They are energetically tested for optimum compatibility and crafted from the highest quality raw materials from around the world. With our extensively researched ingredients, finely detailed formulations, and 100% quality assurance, we pride ourselves on creating the most efficacious formulas possible.
Helping our customers
Our commitment to you, our customer, has always been the same: to help you live a longer, more vibrant life.
Unfortunately we are all faced with a number of challenges. The nutrient content of our farmlands continues to decline at a time when our exposure to chemical and environmental toxins is on the rise. Our goal is to help you conquer those challenges and to play whatever role we can in helping you to nourish and maintain a robust body and a healthy mind. We will make every effort to bring you new ideas and to offer you better choices.
Harmonized Protein
New Zealand Protein
New Zealand has an outstanding international reputation for sustainable agricultural practices. The cattle that produce the milk used to create these unique proteins graze in open pastures and are raised without the use of hormones, including rBGH. New Zealand proteins are considered to be the cleanest and purest in the world. They do not contain antibiotics and are routinely screened for over 250 agricultural and chemical contaminants including pesticides, fertilizers and PCB’s. This is what makes Harmonized Protein The Cleanest Protein Possible™.
PhytoBerry
What is ORAC?
The latest scientific standard for measuring the antioxidant properties of food is in ORAC units (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). ORAC measures the total antioxidant capacity of a food or nutrient and can help us to understand its antioxidant strength. For example, a serving of PhytoBerry® has an approximate ORAC score of 5,000 units. While in general terms the higher the ORAC score the greater the protection, ORAC only tells part of the story.
You also have to understand that our individual organs and internal systems have unique anti oxidant requirements. Often times an organ is best protected by a botanical nutrient that may only have a modest ORAC score. A higher ORAC nutrient that is less supportive of that organ may have a higher score but will not be able to offer the same level of protection. PhytoBerry® does have an exceptional ORAC score, but its primary focus is to offer whole body antioxidant protection by using a harmonized and synergistic combination of nutrients that in concert target and protect each organ and key body system.
The Need for PhytoBerry
Although we know that fruit, and especially berries, contain many of nature’s most potent antioxidants and phytochemicals, many of us fail to consume the optimal amounts necessary to maintain vibrant health. As well, factors like environmental toxins, stress and excessive free radical exposure challenge us each and every day. Free radicals are reactive compounds that can damage the cells that they come into contact with. Although impossible to avoid, we need to minimize our exposure to free radicals while simultaneously supporting our body’s ability to neutralize them. Unless kept in check, excessive free radicals can cause a chain reaction that contributes to the erosion of good health. Antioxidants protect cells from the destructive effects of free radicals. Consuming a potent antioxidant-rich supplement can act as a wonderful insurance policy providing all the protective power of fresh berries, and phytonutrients.
VegeGreens
The Need for VegeGreens
Even with the best of intentions, few of us can find the time to purchase, prepare and consume the recommended six to eight servings of vegetables every day. Even the most sensible diet will still lack a number of vital nutrients important to good health, no matter how carefully we select our food. To further complicate matters, the ongoing depletion of the mineral content in commercial farmlands, when combined with the effects of cooking and preparation, results in us consuming vegetables that have lost as much as 50% of their nutritional value.
Our modern lifestyle also plays a role. Constant exposure to stress, pollutants and the consumption of a highly processed diet leads to an acid/alkaline imbalance within our bodies. This overly acidic internal environment puts us at greater risk for both minor and major health issues. Vegetables are our most potent alkaline foods and need to be consumed in abundance. An all-inclusive green food supplement can offer tremendous protection and be the perfect compliment to your diet.
MultiVitamins
Our Strategy
Age Specific – Our needs change as we age. For example, maintaining our bone mass and balancing our hormones become higher priorities and require the correct nutritional support. The Progressive 50+ formulas are specifically tailored to meet the demands of mature adults and the nutritional challenges that we all face as we age.
Gender Specific – As men and women we are physiologically very different. As a result, so are the nutrients we require. The Progressive Adult Men's & Women's formulas take these differences into account. Specific ratios of vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts are incorporated into each formula to better suit the unique requirements of both men and women.
Activity Specific – Regular exercise presents additional nutritional challenges. Increased energy production, greater free radical defense, electrolyte replacement and the maintenance of muscle tone all elevate your nutritional demands. The Progressive Active formulas contain higher potencies of the key nutrients responsible for supporting a more active lifestyle.
Divided Doses – Our bodies aren’t designed to accept nutrients in one large dose once a day. By eating smaller, more frequent meals you will have much better utilization of the nutritional value of your food. The same principle applies to vitamins and minerals. Many also have a relatively short life span in your system and need to be replenished throughout the day, which greatly limits the benefit of a “one-a-day” formula. Progressive MultiVitamins are designed to provide a constant supply of nutrients and deliver the right potency at the right time. For optimum protection consume one capsule with your breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Vegetable Capsules – Many experts feel that capsules, when compared to traditional hard tablets, offer far greater and more thorough absorption of the nutrients they contain. For this reason, Progressive MultiVitamins are packaged in easy to digest, easy to swallow capsules. In addition, only pure vegetable based capsules are used, eliminating the concern over the impurities and potential contaminants associated with regular beef and pork based gelatin capsules.
