Get the Balanced energy
Sela Means to meditate or think upon. With
the condition of a majority of Americans today
not thinking about their health, we decided to
create a company that would. Hence the term,
“Think About Your Health” was coined to em-
phasize its importance. We want to help people
all over the world focus on their health. As a
result of this focus, all of the sickness and dis-
ease in the world will get attention and people
will start to take better care of themselves.
People will began to live longer and better lives
without all of the drugs and medical expenses.
Sela Philosophy
B-vitamins are one of the most important
vitamins for giving you the energy to work
all day. B complex helps metabolize carbohy-
drates, the body and brain’s main source of
fuel. The lack of B-vitamins can cause body fa-
tigue, dizziness, memory problems, depression
and lead to other illnesses. If you are planning
to get most of your B-vitamins from plant-
based foods, avoid cooking them or don’t cook
them for too long, because the heat and water
will destroy a good portion of their B-vitamins.
The vitamin B complex consist of eight vi-
tamins which are B12, B9, B7, B6, B5, B3 (nia-
cin), B2 (riboflavin) and B1 (thiamine). These
vitamins are also known as the energy vitamins
and work together to boost metabolism, en-
hance cell growth and division, enhance the
nervous system and immune system, and keep
the skin and muscles healthy.
Vitamin B12: (also known as Cobalamin or
Cyanocobalamin) is probably the most impor-
tant B complex for increasing your energy level
because it is required for proper digestion. The
recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of
vitamin B12 for both men and women is about
2.4 mcg.

in colon cancer, skin infections, and irritable

Are probiotics safe?
Most probiotics are like what is already in
a person's digestive system. Some probiotics
have been used for a very long time through-
out history, such as in fermented foods and
cause illness.
As with any dietary supplement, be aware
that probiotic supplements are regulated
as foods, not drugs. Tell your doctor about
bacteria in your probiotic supplement.
Every Sela packet has 1 billion

the immune systems.
What are probiotics used for?
It has been suggested that probiotics be
used to treat problems in the stomach and
intestines. Many people use probiotics to
prevent diarrhea, gas, and cramping caused by
bacteria along with the bacteria that cause ill-

Liquid Gold-Colostrum
Colostrum is a milk-like substance that
female mammals produce soon after giving
birth, is full of potent, immune-stimulating
factors that jump-start a newborn’s original
immune system.
Boosting your immune system
builds your body’s defenses against
naturally occurring cancer cells,
thereby preventing a full-blown
progression of the disease. If you
already have cancer, colostrum
is vital for your treatment. Its
immune-boosting abilities will
help your body fight off the cancer.
Colostrum furthermore contains
the antioxidant phytic acid, which
prevents iron from reaching and nourishing
cancer cells.
Colostrum is well known in the athletic
community as a means to increase lean body
mass without the dangerous side effects found
in steroids. It also helps keep the athlete
healthy by accelerating the healing of athletic
injuries and boosting the immune system,
which becomes depressed after extreme exer-
cise.
Marathon runners, who experience a sig-
nificantly higher incidence or upper respira-
tory tract infections (URI) in the weeks leading
up to and following a marathon, had a much
lower rate of URI when receiving colostrum
supplementation as compared to placebo.
Traditionally, what detoxification means to
most people is taking a powerful herbal con-
pcoction, which causes the body to dump
fluids, thus flushing the system of
impurities and toxins. From the
point of view of colostrum, however,
this is a limited and potentially dan-
gerous concept of detoxification that
puts unneeded stress on the body
and can do more harm than good.
Colostrum inhibits or destroys
harmful pathogens which can colo-
nize the gut and cause major health
problems, such as Helicobacter
pylori, the main cause of gastric and duodenal
ulcers, Candida albicans, a fungus which can
overgrow the intestines, forcing out beneficial
bacteria, and many others, while promoting
the growth of beneficial bacterrial colonies.
Colostrum also helps protect and heal both
the liver and the pancreas from the effects of
toxins in the body by helping to remove dan-
gerous toxins and by stimulating these organs
to replace damaged tissue.

Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is
derived from two sources: preformed reti-
noids and provitamin carotenoids. Retinoids,
such as retinal and retinoic acid, are found in
animal sources such as liver, kidney, eggs, and
dairy produce. Carotenoids, such as beta-car-
otene (which has the highest vitamin A activ-
ity), are found in plants such as dark or yellow
vegetables and carrots.
Natural retinoids are present in all living
organisms, either as preformed vitamin A or
as carotenoids, and are
required for biological
processes such as vision
and cellular growth. A
major biologic function
of vitamin A is in the vi-
sual cycle. Research also suggests that vitamin
A may reduce the mortality rate from measles,
prevent some types of cancer, aid in growth
and development, and improve immune func-
tion.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that
maintains skin integrity, helps heal wounds
and is important in immune functions. It also
has antioxidant properties, helping to prevent
cell damage by neutralizing free radicals, mol-
ecules believed to be associated with aging and
certain diseases.
Vitamin C is at the top of the list among
natural immune boosters for your body. The
research on the immune boosting properties
of the vitamin has been extensive. Your body’s
immune system offers protection against a
host of viruses as well as health ailments. It
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is found in many dietary sources,
such as fish, eggs, fortified milk, and cod liver
oil. The sun also contributes significantly to
the daily production of vitamin D, and as little
as 10 minutes of exposure is thought to be
enough to prevent deficiencies. The term "vi-
tamin D" refers to several different
forms of this vitamin. Two forms
are important in humans: ergocal-
ciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecal-
ciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D2
is synthesized by plants. Vitamin
D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin when
it is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from
sunlight. Foods may be fortified with vitamin
D2 or D3.
The major biologic function of vitamin
D is to maintain normal blood levels of cal-
cium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the
absorption of calcium, helping to form and
maintain strong bones. It is used, alone or in
combination with calcium, to increase bone
mineral density and decrease fractures. Re-
cently, research also suggests that vitamin D
may provide protection from osteoporosis,
hypertension (high blood pressure), cancer,
and several autoimmune diseases.
is important that your body’s immunity be
enhanced in order to increase its ability to
ward off diseases. When your body has a
weak immune system is becomes vulnerable
to viruses resulting in you getting sick.
The best way to give a boost to your im-
mune system is by improving the
nutritional value of your diet.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects
body tissue from damage caused by substan-
ces called free radicals. Free radicals can harm
cells, tissues, and organs. They are believed
to play a role in certain conditions related to
aging.
Vitamin E is important
in the forma- tion of red
blood cells and it helps the
body use vitamin K.
It also helps
widen blood
ves- sels and
keep blood
from clotting
inside them.Cells use vitamin E to interact
with each other and carry out many impor-
tant functions.The body also needs vitamin
E to help keep the immune system strong
against bad viruses and bacteria.
Electrolyte
Electrolyte is a "medical or scientific" term
for salts, specifically ions. The term electrolyte
means that this ion is electrically-charged and
moves to either a negative (cathode) or posi-
tive (anode) electrode.
Electrolytes are important because they are
what your cells (especially nerve, heart, mus-
cle) use to maintain voltages across their cell
membranes and to carry electrical impulses
(nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across
themselves and to other cells. Your kidneys
work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in
your blood constant despite changes in your
body. For example, when you exercise heavily,

you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly
sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must
be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentra-
tions of your body fluids constant. So, many
sports drinks have sodium chloride or potas-
sium chloride added to them.
