PRINCIPAL 1 - Nourish +Cleanse=Balance

This is the first principal of the Philosophy of Regeneration. Our products are designed to nourish and cleanse your body, bringing it into balance.

Nuplus - fills in your nutritional gaps with micronutrients

Calli - Contains antioxidants that assist the body's natural cleansing process

Quinary - balances the five systems

Our bodies are like cars. We 'burn' food to create energy and emit 'pollution'as a by-product. In a car, the pollution goes out of the exhaust. In our bodies, some of the pollution is excreted, but some of the pollution remains in the form of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable, reactive molecules. They collide or attack healthy cells to stabilize themselves, and can cause aging, cellular damage and disease. Antioxidants are big news as they help stabilize free radicals and prevent further damage.

Principal 2 - Foods, not chemicals

Our body is designed to digest foods, not chemicals. We need to eat foods with proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, etc to survive. However, when you isolate a protein or vitamin, it is no longer a food, but a chemical which our body has a hard time digesting.

If you eat too many chemical isolates that are in most protein powders or vitamin pills, it can cause alot of problems. Too much protein may cause irreversible kidney damage. Too much vitamin C increases the aging process. When vitamin C is left in intact within an orange, it is part of what makes an orange a food, but the minute you pull it out of its original "life structure", vitamin C becomes a chemical called ascorbic acid.

Sunriders trade secret process preserves nutrients in their food form for easier digestion and absorption.

Principal 3 - Variety

There are many kinds of foods with good and bad points, but there is no perfect food. Even antioxidants are not perfect. Unfortunately, many people overlook this important principal. THey focus on one ingredient, one juice, or one category of nutrients as a cure-all because it's simple. The reality is that our bodies are very complex and we need to eat a variety of foods. We have five major systems, and each system requires different foods to provide the proper nourishment and support. Dr Chen could easily make synthetic protein powders, juices and vitamin pills, but he doesn't because at best, they don't benefit your health, and at worst, they cause damage.

Principal 4 - Formulation & Concentration

Successful formulation how to put the foods together in the right combinations, proportions and concentrations requires knowledge, experience, creativity and the ability to utilize the knowledge and experience of the past. All of these elements are necessary to fully realize the Philosophy of Regeneration. Sunrider borrows from China's 5,000 years of practical experience and improves upon it. Over time most things in life change, but food is not one of them.

It is widely accepted that green tea contains certain beneficial antioxidants; however, the good also comes with the bad, which includes tannic acid, certain alkaloids, and caffeine. That is why Calli undergoes a trade secret process to extract and concentrate the beneficial ingredients, while minimizing the negative. You cannot copy Sunrider products merely by looking at the labels because the same ingredient can work much differently without extraction and concentration. For example, Conco and Assimilaid both contain licorice, but for each product this ingredient is processed differently to achieve a different effect. The way Sunrider customizes the manufacturing process of ordinarily recognized ingredients is impossible to be duplicated.

This is just an example of the importance of formulation and concentration, especially when considering products that use multiple ingredients and are made at third party processing plants. You really dont know what you are consuming.
