OHM Product Highlights By Dr Jaroslav Boublik

November 12, 2007

As spring takes hold in my garden I know that summer isn't far away. For me summer is all about being outside. Whether it's on a windsurfer, mountain bike or just my running shoes I love to get out and enjoy the warm weather.

To really enjoy that outdoor time it's great to have lots of available energy. That energy is also important when we are working, spending time with family or travelling. To have the abundant energy we all want requires a balanced diet, good energy producing mechanisms, regular exercise and sufficient sleep. Those energy-producing mechanisms can be assisted by a range of supplementary nutrients. To make best use of that energy requires focus and optimal focus can also be supported, this time by specific herbs.

By now you may have guessed what this newsletter is going to be about — Agel™ OHM. We are so excited that OHM will soon be available in Australia and New Zealand and soon everyone will be able to experience the boost of energy that every gel pack releases in you.

We are also excited that OHM will be the first TGA Listed product from Agel™. What does that mean to Agel™? More importantly, what does that mean to you? First the TGA is the Therapeutic Goods Administration. They are a division of the Department of Health and Ageing and the Australian regulator of therapeutic goods, including all drugs and nutritional supplements. OHM is a Listed product — that means it is now included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) and to be on the register it has met certain requirements such as the safety of all ingredients, manufacturing in a TGA licensed facility, accurate packaging and a host of others.

The TGA also allows Agel™ to make certain sustainable claims for OHM. There are 2 claims that have been allowed for OHM.

The first is quite short, but extremely powerful, and states, “Aids, assists or helps in the maintenance of general well-being” This tells us that everyone who is serious about creating a state of wellbeing may benefit from the use of OHM.

The second claim is very long (and has some repetition because of the requirements related to the allowed claims for each ingredient) but gives a great overview of the important ingredients in OHM. It states, ”Agel OHM, is a blend of micronutrients and herbs that complements a proper diet and regular exercise to support the body by providing the “extra energy” required to meet everyday demands. It does not rely upon stimulants like caffeine. Rather, it looks to a B—complex vitamin—based formula that acts as a coenzyme to facilitate the body's own metabolic processes required to convert carbohydrates into energy. Panax Ginseng is included, a strong antioxidant helping the body to resist stressful influences. Panax Ginseng has also been associated with beneficial effects on motor performance, cognitive behavior and overall quality of life. Schizandra, grown in China and Korea is another premium herb found in OHM, used historically and today to help improve concentration, strength, stamina, endurance, and alertness, without causing nervousness like caffeine related stimulants. Panax ginseng is used as a so-called "adaptogen" for increasing resistance to environmental stress and as a general tonic for improving well-being. Schizandra is used as an adaptogen for increasing resistance to minor diseases and stress, increasing energy, and increasing physical performance and endurance. Agel™ OHM's schizandra and panax ginseng help increase your resistance against stressful influences and it may help to enhance your body's performance and mental focus, as well as reduce physical recovery time.”

What these claims don't talk about are the other ingredients like Taurine, which among other actions helps maintains healthy enzyme activity in the heart muscle, and contributes to the ability of the heart to pump. OHM also contains Ribose, a metabolic sugar. Many studies demonstrate the ability of ribose to restock fuel stores to the working muscles. Another key ingredient is chromium that is thought to be needed for glucose utilization by insulin in normal health.

All together OHM is a powerful formulation to support the body by providing the “extra energy” required to meet everyday demands.

Who do you know that needs an energy boost? Energy to get through the “3 o'clock slump”. Energy to chase the grandkids? Or energy to get on that windsurfer and sail all day. That's the one that appeals to me… what's your Agel™ OHM why?
