Quality Source Materials |

Any good cook will tell you that the key to a great meal is first choosing the best quality ingredients and then blending and cooking these ingredients just right in order to achieve the flavor and textures the meal requires. This is even truer when creating a superior supplement. The quality of the source ingredients is the cornerstone to a high quality supplement, how these ingredients are blended together and delivered will ultimately influence just how effective the supplement is.
With this in mind lets take a look at some of the source materials that are used in ALL ONE supplements. And why these ingredients play a key role in making ALL ONE supplements the superior products that they are.
Whole Food Proteins- A source of naturally occurring essential and non-essential amino acids.
ALL ONE milk proteins (Calcium Caseinate and Whey) are from New Zealand. New Zealand dairies are held to some of the most stringent standards in the world. The dairy cows of New Zealand are grass fed and free grazed and never exposed to “feed lot” conditions. New Zealand mandates that all dairy products must be free of antibiotics, chemical residues and hormones (rbST is illegal in New Zealand). Poland and New Zealand are the only two countries that supply guaranteed rbST-free isolated protein. New Zealand dairy is so pure that beginning next calendar year it will be labeled "Certified Organic."
The New Zealand Calcium Caseinate (milk protein) is 93% protein, lactose and fat free.
The New Zealand Whey Protein is instantized milk protein from fresh food grade whey by ultra-filtration. ALL ONE chooses the whey protein for its Active Seniors formula and the Weight Loss formula because it is a naturally complete protein; it contains all of the essential amino acids required in the daily diet. It also contains the highest known levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) in a natural food source. Whey protein provides the body with BCAAs to replenish depleted levels and start repairing and rebuilding lean muscle tissue. Whey protein isolate has approximately 50% more leucine than soy protein isolate. Leucine is important as it plays a key role in promoting muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth. Whey protein is easy to digest and absorb, often people who cannot digest casein can digest whey. Whey protein helps maintain a healthy immune system by increasing the levels of glutathione in the body. Glutathione is an antioxidant required for a healthy immune system.
ALL ONE rice protein is made by filtering protein and fiber from whole white rice digested enzymatically to produce rice syrup. No acids, bases or other chemicals are used in this process. Residual carbohydrates have been washed away from the proteins. The rice is from California and is pesticide free. ALL ONE rice protein is vegan and gluten free.
Whole Food Powders in ALL ONE Supplements
ALL ONE works with the greens expert David Sandoval for the whole food powders added to the ALL ONE formulas. David’s international reputation for quality and zeal for purity ensures powder blends of the highest quality.
Organic Green Blend-
The green blend used in the ALL ONE Green Phyto Base is a comprehensive blend including alfalfa, kamut, barley and oat grasses; cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, parsley, kale, and broccoli; kelp and spirulina. These greens are certified organic, cultivated according to strict QAI or USDA standards. The Greens are grown on a specially selected, dried, ancient volcanic lake bed in Utah at 6000 feet elevation. The fact that the cropland is over 100 miles from any pollution industry means the air quality surrounding the farm is among the purest in North America. The high altitude brings the chlorophyll rich leaves closer to the sun and as a result the plant must produce more chlorophyll. The greens are flash dried minutes from harvest; they are washed, juiced and then dried. The powder is never in temperatures above 88 degrees. The high chlorophyll content, lightweight proteins, catalytic enzymes and trace minerals promote absorption of the high potency vitamins and minerals in ALL ONE. Each 2-gram dose of green powder contains approximately 60 mg of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been regarded as the single most versatile cleansing, healing and detoxifying substance known to man, offering protection from toxic chemicals.
The green powder is gluten free, as gluten is present only after the grain sprouts. Our greens are harvested while they are still a grass.
Fruit Blend-
The fruits in the ALL ONE Fruit Antioxidant blend are chosen for the significant amount of research supporting their high antioxidant (ORAC- Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values. Tufts scientists measured the antioxidant levels of 50 fresh fruits and vegetables, and found berries occupied the top slots.
Tart Cherries- Recent medical research validates that tart cherries provide highly effective pain relief and a multiplicity of other health benefits. In 1998, scientists at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, discovered that tart cherries are an excellent source of compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The antioxidant compound anthocyanin found in tart cherries in particular may have a beneficial effect on inflammation.
Cranberries- The cranberry is most well known for its role in combating urinary tract infections. At the meeting of the American Chemical Society in April 2002 several studies were presented that demonstrated that the antioxidant benefits of the cranberry does not end with UTIs (urinary tract infections). Emerging as one of the most powerful among common fruits studied, cranberries appear to possess anti-cancer properties, inhibit the growth of common food borne pathogens and contain antibacterial properties.
Blueberries- USDA researcher Ronald Prior, Ph.D, has determined that blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity of 40 tested fruits and vegetables. Recent laboratory studies suggest blueberries may delay the onset of age-related memory loss. James Joseph, Ph.D, Chief of the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, is working with blueberries to examine their potential to help improve motor skills and reverse the short-term memory loss that comes with aging.
Wild Blueberries also showed the greatest anti-cancer activity of fruits tested during a University of Illinois study by Mary Ann Lila Smith, Ph.D.
Apple pectin- an indigestible soluble fiber, which is effective in lowering cholesterol levels. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that apple pectin also acts as an antioxidant against the damaging portion of cholesterol in the blood stream.
The ALL ONE Fruit Antioxidant blend is guaranteed pesticide free. The cranberries and apple fibers are freeze dried to a powder and then sifted and blended with the wild blueberries and tart cherries, which are washed and vacuum dehydrated at 88 degrees. There is no added sugar in the fruit blend. The berries are bitter and sour, not sweet and with the apple we use only the apple fiber. The sugar is insignificant and below the glycemic index. ALL ONE Fruit Antioxidant formula is very safe for diabetics.
Aktivated Barley™- Barley is the only plant on earth that can, without supplementation, provide nutritional support from birth to old age. “Pre-sprouted” or “activated” barley is super food. All of the energy in the seed has been mobilized to sprout, but sprouting hasn’t taken place yet. At this point, the barley is at its most bioactive. The Aktivated Barley used by ALL ONE comes from pure, raw, whole barley- no pesticides, herbicides or GMO’s. Aktivated barley is made by using a unique combination of pressure and humidity to activate nutrients and formerly dormant enzymes in the inner kernel of the barley grains. It is then immediately vacuum dehydrated.
ALL ONE Minerals-
All minerals in ALL ONE are proteinated. The minerals are from plant, vegetable or earth sources combined with protein, “chelated”. All the amino acids in ALL ONE formulas are naturally occurring derived from whole proteins.
No Compromise!
As the quality of source materials is vital to the efficacy of the ALL ONE formulas. ALL ONE also takes pride in what they DO NOT put in their formulas. Binders and fillers and bulking agents that may reduce price, as they are inexpensive but ultimately compromise the integrity of the formulas. Purity and potency are never compromised. ALL ONE Formulas do not contain any non-nutritive additives such as binders, fillers, preservatives, disintegrates or moisture protectors. You will also never find sweeteners, yeast or artificial flavors in an ALL ONE formula.
ALL ONE Formulas have always been made using the highest quality raw materials available and using only USP grade nutrients. As a company ALL ONE has built their reputation on excellence and have never resorted to using cheap ingredients. ALL ONE supplements are built up to a standard, not down to a price. This you can count on.

Question: "I have noticed recently that your prices have gone up, why?"
Answer: A note from the owner of ALL ONE, Doug Ingoldsby...
"I have been in this industry since 1972. During this time raw material prices have risen, however, they've risen gradually. 2007 was an exception to that rule. In these 35 plus years I have never seen such a radical spike and increase in raw materials. Our 2008 contract price for the milk proteins we purchase from New Zealand has gone up 83% from what we were paying in 2007...eighty-three percent! You can understand the impact to our "cost of goods" when you consider that these high quality proteins account for half (50%) of our "Original" and "Active Seniors" formulas. There has also been a 300% increase in the price of vitamin C and a 100% increase in B2 (Riboflavin). There have been other increases as well but they have been in the 10% to 15% range.
We have done our best to minimize the increase in cost to you, our customer, while not compromising on the quality of our ingredients. A careful study of these new prices will show that there is only a 5 to 25 cent per day increase over last year.
Fortunately some ingredients (Lutein and CoQ10) in the Active Seniors formula actually decreased in price, allowing us to maintain our current pricing on that formula.
Thank you for your continued loyalty and support."

"I was directed to ALL ONE by a naturopathic MD after a sudden and unexplained health incident. I was always an unreliable vitamin taker but was convinced to try ALL ONE with an explanation of the ingredients by this physician. As a regular blood donor I was occasionally rejected due to low hematocrit. Since taking ALL ONE, I've never been below the standards of the blood bank for donating. In addition, I've found that I'm rarely susceptible to the regular 'bugs' that go around in spite of working with the public. The ease of taking ALL ONE in a small amount of orange juice is now part of my routine and I no longer have to cross my fingers at my annual check up in response to the doc's, "are you taking a vitamin regularly?""

Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." And how true that statement is! While few of us are so fearful that we don't venture beyond our own doorstep, many encounter fears that prohibit us from achieving our full potential. The two most common fears are often the most difficult to recognize because they are often embedded into our core belief systems. For example the fear of what others think, also known as the need for social approval, can limit an athletes willingness to take chances in performance situations. The fear of failure can often be disguised as underperformance. For example, the athlete who is not willing to risk failure by taking the final shot just before the buzzer, Fear of Failure can also surface in the form of an “all or nothing mentality”.
Thoughts such as "I either perform well or I'm a loser" or "If I can't exercise at least 30 minutes every day I'm a slacker" are examples of all or nothing thinking. To overcome fears, start by taking baby steps. The first is to keep track of what you do well by creating a success journal. When you feel fear creeping up on you, make a mental note of your successes. This will help boost your confidence and eliminate the fear distractions from your mind. Use the 5-1 rule. Following every performance, identify and write down 5 things you did well and talk about them with someone. The take time to write down the one task or thing you wish to improve. This exercise alone is a powerful tool to build confidence and trust and eliminate the fear of taking the last shot. Remember, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”.
