Essential Nutrition

Young Living Essential Oils creates food and dietary supplements of the highest quality that are enriched and enhanced with therapeutic-grade essential oils such as lavender, orange and lemon. One of the greatest threats to health in our fast-paced society is the highly processed, chemical-, fat-, and sugar-laden foods eaten on a daily basis. A great need of the modern world is convenience foods rich in nutrition. Young Living Essential Oils creates food products similar to those eaten by people who live to an old age, while remaining healthy, alert, and self-sufficient. All food products contain nutrient-dense, natural, whole ingredients and are free of sugars and artificial sweeteners. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils, discovered in clinical practice while doing bacteriology studies with the blood that there was a substantial amount of undigested protein in the blood serum that could not penetrate the cell membrane because of low oxygen levels. When he enhanced foods and supplements with essential oils, he did not detect any undigested food in the blood. He also discovered that supplements enhanced with essential oils increase the absorption of food nutrients and aid in the detoxification of the body.

Most essential oils have a long history of effective and safe internal use, and today Young Living was the first to offer the benefits of ingesting pure essential oils. Our innovative supplements are specially formulated using Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ standards to improve efficacy and delivery for immediate and long-term results. These potent, proprietary oil blends bring targeted and timely digestive, immune, and antioxidant support: Longevity™ softgels, Digest & Cleanse™ softgels, Omega Blue™ and Inner Defense™ softgels are four of our oil-infused nutritional supplements. Our newest supplement unveilved at 2009's convention is SleepEssence™!

Restore Your Core ~ Four Simple Steps to Extraordinary Health

Young Living's Core Essentials Complete nutritional program is about understanding the nutritional foundations of optimal health, developing healthy daily habits, and supercharging the whole process with the power of nature’s living energy, pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. Combining these principles and products virtually guarantees extraordinary results.

The Root of the Problem

Forty-two years ago, Dr. Myron Brin showed that even slight nutrient deficiencies cause problems, such as slow brain function, insomnia, irritability, and nightmares. Today, we know that essential nutrient deficiency is a key contributor in the massive inflammation epidemic that lies at the root of all our major health problems. When essential nutrients run low, inflammation goes unchecked, damaging cells, tissues, and eventually whole organs and systems. This condition is called chronic systemic inflammation. Research links all of the top killers, even rapid aging, to this condition.

Four Steps to Control Inflammation

It seems simple: control inflammation, and you slow aging and improve health dramatically. There are dozens of anti-inflammatory drugs on the market, but they can cause numerous undesirable side effects. However, Young Living offers natural, holistic solutions with only one side effect—extraordinary long-term health. The body needs optimal amounts of these essential nutrients to control inflammation.

Macronutrients
pure water
essential amino acids from protein
essential sugars
essential fatty acids
fiber (soluble and insoluble)

Micronutrients
essential vitamins
minerals
antioxidants
essential enzymes

A Simple Four-Step Approach to Start Releasing Inflammation Today

Identify and eliminate or dramatically limit anti-nutrients.
Get enough essential nutrients.
Assimilate the essential nutrients.
Give it time.

Step One: Identify + Eliminate or Dramatically Limit Anti-Nutrients

Anti-nutrients include junk food, stress, toxins, medications, etc. A recent Los Angeles Times survey found that junk-food calories comprised 30 percent of the average person’s diet, and people consume 1,000 percent more sugar than our ancestors did. And all that anti-nutrient poison requires extra essential nutrient antidotes to counteract the damage.

Step Two: Get Enough Essential Nutrients

To keep up with today’s extraordinary demands, we must flood our systems with all the key essential nutrients. To accomplish this, Young Living packaged foundational essential oil nutrients together with other essential nutrients to create the Core Essentials Complete nutritional program. This program includes NingXia Red,® Longevity™, True Source™, Omega Blue™, Life 5™, and Balance Complete™. Taking these products together will create tremendous life-giving synergy.

True Source™

Our bodies work best when we eat a broad range of nutrients, and the typical diet is dangerously deficient when it comes to vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, especially those nutrients supplied by plant-based foods.

We reach for a multivitamin made with whole fruits, vegetables, and super foods—vitamins sourced as Mother Nature intended.
