|
The Sasco® Nutritional Advantage Program, “ SNAP,” is a unique three (3) part program formulated as a low fat, low cholesterol, low calorie, fiber rich regimen as recommended by leading medical authorities such as The American Heart Association, The National Academy of Sciences and The American Cancer Society. When taken together, our formulas are designed to provide a balanced, synergistic blend of nutrients to help your body strengthen its immune system and turn food into an instant energy source. In addition to the program foundation of promoting good health, the SNAP program may also facilitate many other beneficial health related goals:
- weight loss
- more energy
- lower cholesterol
- increased stamina & metabolism
- regularity
- joint stress and pain relief
- more muscle mass & solidity
- provide an easily digested, concentrated low fat source of protein & nutrition to reestablish nutrients lost from disease, illness and chemotherapy
SNAP is a program fit for anyone, creating vitality through optimum nutrition. It can help those who are forever in the pursuit of the “right” diet and those who are looking to achieve a greater state of fitness and well being. SNAP is not just designed to help you lose weight, but to help you realize the importance of good nutrition. This includes eating right and supplementing your diet with the correct vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.
SNAP is a comprehensive nutritional and dietary program, combining quick and delicious nutrient dense shakes, vitamins and minerals, an energizing aloe vera drink and nutritional information for planning and preparing fully balanced meals. People who have faithfully implemented this program report they feel wonderfully healthy and rarely desire to eat improperly again, but rather crave nutritious food. SNAP helps to detoxify your body, increase fat metabolization, encourage body fat loss and solidify muscle mass while internally saturating your system with good nutrition and encouraging you to make better food choices.
Generally people report losing 10 to 15 pounds per month on our SNAP program. When used properly, this plan may also help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lower the risk of adult onset diabetes and reduce obesity. The soy derived isoflavonoids and phytoestrogens, plus other phytonutrients and antioxidants included in the program may help provide another line of defense against disease through good nutrition.
To follow SNAP is as easy as 1,2 & 3. Number 1 - drink a delicious and nutritious Calorie Control shake as your meal replacement for two meals and eat a balanced, low fat third meal. Number 2 - take two Nutrient Control Supplements with each meal for 100% of most essential nutrients. Number 3 - drink Aloe Booster, a delicious aloe/energy punch with L-Carnitine, one hour after your shake. This refreshing “dessert” helps keep your metabolism cranked up to burn fat, keep electrolyte levels balanced and provide essential vitamins, minerals and natural amino acids.

| Sasco® Nutrition & Weight Management Program Number I - Calorie Control Shake |
|
The Sasco® Calorie Control Shake, a delicious, nutrient dense shake, consists of a unique combination of proteins with high protein efficiency ratios, including a soy protein isolate documented for its impressive cholesterol lowering ability when consumed as part of a modified diet. Our blend provides 22 amino acids scoring (PDCAAS) of 1.0, making it highly digestible, comparable to meat, fish and egg proteins, but without the added fat and cholesterol. Infants to the elderly may benefit from this nutritious, easily digested formula.
“There is nearly 30 years worth of evidence showing that soy is a powerful cholesterol lowering agent,” says nutrition consultant and soybean researcher Mark Messina, Ph. D., of Port Townsend, WA. Also, the ability to lower both LDL’s and triglycerides has been demonstrated, while at the same time increasing levels of HDL’s. This is unlike other cholesterol lowering foods which lower both the bad (LDL) cholesterol and the good (HDL) cholesterol. (Napier, 1996)
Other health benefits stemming from soy arise from its supply of phytoestrogens, or isoflavones, to the body. These plant estrogens have demonstrated the ability to offset the drop in a woman’s natural estrogen and therefore help prevent the discomfort from hot flashes and mood swings. Additional research shows that these constituents of soy may also help promote good health overall. |
| FDA approves health claim for foods with at least 6.5 grams of soy protein per serving. “25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of Sasco® Calorie Control Chocolate supplies 15 grams of soy protein and 8.8 grams for vanilla.” |

Our Sasco® Calorie Control Shake also contains chromium in the form of ChromMate to help curb your appetite. “People with strong cravings for sweets may have depleted chromium stores,” says Robert M. Giller, M.D., author of Maximum Metabolism. (Ingoll, 1990) ChromMate is a specially processed form of chromium utilizing niacin which enables your body to use greater amounts of chromium before it leaves your system. Not only does ChromMate help curb your cravings for fats and sweets, it also may help promote lean muscle growth, stimulate your metabolism and decrease body fat.
Even those who are not watching their weight can benefit with the Calorie Control Shake in their diet. The health benefits that soy and chromium have shown to provide can help almost anyone improve their quality of life. In fact, according to phytoestrogen expert Kenneth Setchell, a professor of pediatrics at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Cincinnati, eating soy products all your life may be the secret to better health.

| Sasco® Nutrition & Weight Management Program Number II - Nutrient Control Formula |
The Nutrient Control Supplement is a balanced antioxidant blend of natural vitamins and minerals, chelated for better absorption. This includes ChromMate, calcium, selenium, vitamin D3 and the entire B-complex (including folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12) to help lower your homocystine levels and help provide your heart with good health. Selenium, an antioxidant that works with vitamin E and enzymes to fight against free radical oxidation, has been sighted by the American Medical Association as another possible supplement providing for a healthy heart. Chromium, found in ChromMate, also has great health potential.
As mentioned before, chromium is needed for energy production and for the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and proteins. In 1996, Nanheng Cheng, M.D., Ph. D. of Beijing Medical University in China and biochemist Richard Anderson, Ph. D., lead chromium researcher at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Human Nutrition Research Center, jointly announced positive effects of chromium easing problems with glucose intolerance. Their research showed that chromium helps improve insulin function and helps regulate blood glucose levels, including helping persons diagnosed with types I and II diabetes. (DWL, 1996) As in the Calorie Control Shake, chromium may also help decrease cravings for sweets and fats.
As a whole product, the Nutrient Control Supplement Formula is balanced to take the guess work out of deciding how much vitamin A needs to be taken to fully utilize vitamin D, how much vitamin C needs to be consumed with vitamin E, etc., etc. Unlike most store bought vitamins which use synthetic chemicals to fit everything into a single tiny pill, Nutrient Control Supplements utilize only natural ingredients. This means that they are naturally larger in size and thus require two tablets at each meal (for a total of six daily) to naturally provide your minimum daily values. More importantly, the Nutrient Control Supplements are uniquely designed to work with your food every time you eat to ensure complete metabolism and absorption of your food at each meal plus fuel fat burning in your body.

The Aloe Booster is a delicious aloe energy punch to be taken one hour after your Calorie Control Shake. This tasty, color free, refreshing “dessert” helps keep your metabolism cranked up and burning fat. Testimonials report having increased energy, stamina and endurance from drinking the Aloe Booster. This is due to Aloe Booster’s formula which includes L-Carnitine.
L-Carnitine may be advantageous three ways. It may help facilitate better caloric expenditure and body fat loss, help maintain normal energy levels during periods of lowered caloric intake, and reduce the risk of disease (Braly, 1992).L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid manufactured by your body for transporting fatty acids to your cells where they are used for energy and to help burn body fat. L-Carnitine does this function extremely efficiently, taking the fatty acids directly into the mitochondria of the cell where they can be immediately used to burn fat. Because of this, our distributors affectionately refer to the Aloe Booster as their “liquid lipo-suction!”
For athletes in particular, this health benefit is of high interest because if muscles are able to burn fatty acids more efficiently, then glucose stores, the body’s primary source of energy, last longer. This translates into possible longer periods of workouts and endurance training, lessened muscle fatigue and increased oxygen uptake without a buildup of fatigue and lactic acid. It potentially gives an “edge” on endurance. (Braly 1992; M&F, 1991)
Yet L-Carnitine certainly would benefit anyone who exercises, not just athletes. “Repeated aerobic exercise stimulates the muscles to manufacture more mitochondria, which need fuel for energy that L-Carnitine can provide by transporting more fatty acid stores from your body’s metabolism”as much as 25% as long as three hours after exercising . . . for continued liberation of stored fat.” (Whitney, et al, 1990)
Studies indicate L-Carnitine may also enhance your ability in keeping your energy output at a steady level, avoiding periods of listlessness that often accompany reduced caloric intake. This is accomplished through L-Carnitine helping your body burn the amino acids valine and leucine, which themselves can contribute up to 10% of the energy produced during physical activity.
The best advantage L-Carnitine offers is its ability in:
 “improving fat metabolism in the heart (and other organs and tissues), thus lowering cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, raising HDL cholesterol, and perhaps providing for a healthier cardiovascular system. It performs an addition cardiovascular function as a vasodilator, strengthening the heart and relieving angina and certain cardiac arrhythmia.” (Braly, 1992)
For L-Carnitine to be produced by the body, however, there must be an adequate supply of vitamins C and B 6, iron and the amino acids lysine and methionine. The Nutrient Control Supplements provide the necessary vitamins and minerals, and essential amino acids are found in ActiveAloe® aloe vera, another important constituent of the Sasco® Aloe Booster.
