110%<br />
ANTIOXIDANT SUPPORT<br />
110% is an exclusive formula designed to activate the Nrf2 genetic pathway. This pathway regulates the production of important<br />
molecules that impart antioxidant activity, such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD). It also regulates the production of<br />
detoxification enzymes, including glutathione S-transferase, and downregulates signaling factors such as NF-ϰB. Each ingredient in<br />
this formula is backed by extensive research in peer-reviewed journals.*<br />
Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor 2), a transcription factor in humans that is encoded by the NFE2L2 gene, regulates the expression of a set<br />
of antioxidant and detoxifying genes, protecting the body from the ravages of oxidative stress-related conditions, including (but<br />
not limited to) those affecting the brain and nervous system. In an unstressed state, Nrf2 is anchored in the cytoplasm by its specific<br />
inhibitor Keap1 (kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1). Keap1 functions as a sensor for oxidants and electrophilic xenobiotics. In the<br />
presence of any of these substances, Keap1 gives up its inhibition of Nrf2. This action stabilizes Nrf2, allowing it to accumulate in the<br />
nucleus and bind to the antioxidant response element (ARE) located in the enhancers of its target genes. Under this circumstance,<br />
Nrf2 then upregulates a variety of antioxidant enzymes and detoxifying proteins.*<br />
A variety of natural substances have been shown to activate Nrf2:<br />
Sulforaphane (SGS), a naturally occurring isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables, induces phase 2 cytoprotective<br />
enzymes, supporting the body’s response to cellular insult. SGS may modify critical cysteine residues of Keap1, leading to Nrf2<br />
stabilization and activation of the ARE and thereby inducing phase 2 enzymes. Research demonstrates that sulforaphane, through<br />
induction of Nrf2-dependent phase 2 enzymes, protects the brain against hypoxic-ischemic injury and may improve cognitive<br />
function when administered following traumatic brain injury.*<br />
Pterostilbene, a naturally occurring phenolic compound/analog of resveratrol that has comparatively better oral bioavailability, has<br />
been shown to possess cytotoxic, cytokine-inhibiting, and antioxidant properties. Resveratrol has also been shown to increase the<br />
protein and mRNA expression of Nrf2. There is evidence that Nrf2-mediated attenuation of oxidative stress and cytokine induction<br />
could be partially responsible for resveratrol’s potential effect on cell-life regulation. In rat and animal studies, resveratrol/pterostilbene<br />
have been shown to upregulate a significant number of genes involved in mitochondrial function as well as to modulate<br />
cholinergic neurotransmission and improve cognition.*<br />
Curcumin’s array of biological activities stems from its cytokine-balancing activity, antioxidant properties, and induction of phase<br />
2 detoxifying enzymes such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Purification of curcumin yields the curcuminoids demethoxy curcumin<br />
(DMC) and bisdemethoxy curcumin (BDMC). DMC has been shown to induce HO-1 more effectively than curcumin. The ability of<br />
DMC and BDMC to induce the expression of HO-1 and to translocate Nrf2 to the nucleus of pancreatic beta cells in mice suggests<br />
that they may play a role in cellular defense. Human studies showed a significant increase in curcumin absorption when<br />
co-administered with BioPerine®, a patented black pepper extract.*<br />
Green Tea’s major polyphenol, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), has been shown to induce expression of glutathione<br />
S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, glutamate cysteine ligase, HO-1, and other enzymes, thereby protecting a variety of cells,<br />
including cultured neurons, against oxidative stress-induced cell death. EGCG modulates the redox-sensitive transcription factor<br />
Nrf2, which plays a key role in activating detoxifying enzyme HO-1 as well as other phase 2 enzymes.*<br />
In summary, 110% is a promising approach to increasing antioxidant defenses by transcriptionally increasing the activity of the<br />
Nrf2/ ARE pathway and positively affecting the transcription of damaging cytokine and antioxidant genes. Green tea, curcumin, and<br />
resveratrol (pterostilbene) have also been shown to influence amyloid formation; this influence further increases the potential of<br />
this innovative formula.*<br />

7 Keto Charge DHEA<br />
A METABOLITE OF DHEA (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE)<br />
THAT HELPS BOOST FAT LOSS<br />
7 Keto Charge DHEA is a registered trade name for the compound 3-acetyl-7-oxo DHEA, a stabilized form of 7-oxo DHEA. Once<br />
ingested, acetyl-7-oxo DHEA is cleaved to 7-oxo DHEA, a DHEA metabolite naturally found in the body. Similar to DHEA, 7-oxo DHEA<br />
is known to decline with age. By age 40, some may experience as much as a 40% drop in 7-keto DHEA and DHEA levels as compared<br />
to average levels at age 25. However, unlike DHEA, 7-oxo DHEA does not convert into estrogenic or androgenic hormones.<br />
When under stress, the body produces higher than normal levels of cortisol and may divert adrenal precursor hormones towards<br />
synthesizing cortisol rather than DHEA. In addition, it has been demonstrated in vitro that 7-oxo DHEA and cortisol interfere with<br />
each other’s metabolism because they use the same enzyme system, HSD1 and HSD2 (11-beta-hydroxysteroid<br />
dehydrogenase). Hence, high cortisol levels may interfere with the conversion of DHEA to 7-oxo DHEA. Conversely, by<br />
supplementing with 7-oxo DHEA, this may interfere with the activation of cortisone to its active form cortisol, as proposed by<br />
a number of researchers. The improvement in immune function in stressed mice by supplementation with 7-keto may be an<br />
indirect proof of this mechanism.<br />
Thus, supplementation with 7 Keto Charge DHEA may counteract a decline in its levels due to aging or high cortisol. It is important<br />
to note that in addition to mental and physical stress, dieting may increase cortisol levels if the caloric restriction is too severe and/<br />
or the meals are not properly spaced throughout the day.<br />
Safety of 7-keto<br />
7 Keto Charge DHEA has a long history of safe use with oral administration. These studies have shown that supplementation with<br />
7-keto is nontoxic and does not affect sex hormone levels. 7-keto has been sold commercially as a dietary supplement since 1998<br />
and has not been linked to any adverse effects.<br />
7 Keto Charge DHEA may support:<br />
• Promote weight loss without the use of stimulants:<br />
– Three times more weight loss than with diet and exercise alone<br />
– Reverses the decrease in resting metabolic rate (RMR) caused by dieting (increased metabolic rate by 5.4%<br />
during weight loss compared to placebo)<br />
– May improve low T4 & T3 thyroid hormone levels in chronically stressed individuals (based on an animal study)<br />
– Activates three thermogenic enzymes in the mitochondria<br />
• Compensate for age-related decline in 7-keto DHEA production<br />
• Compensate for cortisol-induced reduction of 7-keto DHEA<br />
• Reduce tissue levels of cortisol by reducing local conversion of cortisone to cortisol<br />
• Improve memory<br />
• Reduce alcohol cravings due to activity on GABA receptors<br />
• Augment immune response in the elderly and subjects under stress<br />
• Alleviate depression caused by chronic stress<br />

Absolute Hair, Skin & Nails<br />
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR HAIR, SKIN AND NAILS<br />
Absolute Hair, Skin & Nails is a comprehensive formula which combines a wide array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and<br />
botanicals in order to provide the necessary building blocks for healthy hair, skin and nails.<br />
While many people think hair, skin and nails exist simply for cosmetic reasons, they actually serve valuable health<br />
functions. Together, they act as the body’s largest organ system and its first line of defense against environmental<br />
stressors. Aging, sun damage, oxidative stress, as well as nutritional and hormonal imbalances can all impact the health<br />
and luster of hair, skin and nails.<br />
Nutrient Highlights:<br />
• Collagen and Keratin – Hair, skin and nails rely upon the fibrous<br />
proteins collagen and keratin to give them structure, strength and<br />
elasticity. Absolute Hair, Skin & Nails contains two of collagen’s primary<br />
building blocks, glycine and proline, along with vitamin C, B<br />
vitamins, silica, and sulfur (as methylsulfonylmethane and n-acetylcysteine)<br />
– all of which are crucial for collagen renewal. Keratin’s<br />
robust structure is supported by amino acids like cysteine, as well<br />
as various vitamins and minerals.<br />
• Green Tea and Olive Fruit Extracts – These herbal extracts<br />
demonstrate powerful antioxidant properties which support the<br />
body’s natural defenses against oxidative stress and the damaging<br />
effects of the sun. EGCg from green tea extract may also help to<br />
support occasional bouts of acne.<br />
Absolute Hair, Skin & Nails may:<br />
• Support skin elasticity<br />
• Help strengthen hair, skin and nails<br />
• Support healthy keratin<br />
• Offer UV protection<br />
• Provide antioxidant support and help<br />
maintain a healthy inflammatory<br />
response for hair, skin and nails<br />
• Bamboo Extract – The silica found in bamboo aids in collagen renewal, and has been clinically shown to decrease wrinkle depth,<br />
and support hair and nail strength. The bamboo in this formula is standardized to contain 40% silica, yielding a 34 mg dose of this<br />
nutrient, an amount found to be effective in research.<br />
• Vitamins A & D – Vitamin A supports tissue repair and acts as a potent antioxidant, preventing oxidative stress caused by<br />
skin-damaging free radicals. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating the processes that replenish skin and hair<br />
follicles, making it a key vitamin for skin integrity and hair regeneration.<br />
• Chelated Zinc, Copper & Manganese – Skin-supportive minerals are provided in a form that is bioavailable and easily utilized by<br />
the body. Zinc helps to maintain skin integrity and support wound healing, while copper and manganese support healthy<br />
collagen formation.<br />
• Grape Seed – The grape seed in this formula is standardized to contain 95% OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), powerful<br />
antioxidants which are known to support healthy hair growth in animal studies.<br />
• Biotin – This nutrient is part of the B vitamin complex group and has been shown to support nail structure.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take four capsules per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

ADEK Bottled Sunshine<br />
WITH 2000 IU’S VITAMIN D, VITAMINS A, E, K1 AND K2<br />
ADEK Bottled Sunshine features a generous dose of vitamin D, along with efficacious amounts of the other fat-soluble<br />
vitamins, A, E (tocopherols and tocotrienols), and K (K1 and K2). While there are many beneficial health attributes<br />
associated with vitamin D, it is extremely important to keep it in balance with these other vitamins. <strong>Supplement</strong>ing with<br />
vitamin D alone can create an imbalance of the fat-soluble vitamins, which work in harmony and support each other. It<br />
is undesirable when one or more of these vitamins is not provided in sufficient amounts.<br />
Vitamin D assists with proper bone health, as it helps regulate the body’s calcium levels. When calcium levels are low,<br />
vitamin D stimulates increased calcium absorption from the diet and reduces calcium excretion by the kidneys, thereby<br />
supporting maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It also helps to support a proper immune response in the body.<br />
Vitamin K is important for directing the transport of calcium into bones and teeth for optimal strength. Without<br />
adequate levels of vitamin K, increasing the amount of vitamin D via supplementation may increase the risk for calcium<br />
to be improperly deposited in arteries and soft tissue, and this may also negatively affect the elasticity of blood vessels.<br />
Healthy blood vessels are vital to proper cardiovascular function.<br />
Vitamin A works collaboratively with vitamin D to ensure normal gene expression (regulating whether certain genes<br />
are expressed or remain silent). Vitamin A also partners with vitamins D and K to maintain healthy bones and teeth, and<br />
is critical for immune function and eye health.<br />
Vitamin E functions as a chief antioxidant when paired with vitamin A. Tocotrienols are important members of the<br />
vitamin E family that fight against damaging free radicals, which lead to oxidative stress and aging. Vitamins E and A also<br />
protect the health of the eyes, brain, and blood vessels.<br />
Highlights of ADEK Bottled Sunshine<br />
• An ideal balance of all fat-soluble vitamins, D, A, K, and E<br />
• 2000 IUs of active vitamin D3, cholecalciferol<br />
• Natural forms of vitamin E, including high gamma mixed tocopherols<br />
and tocotrienols<br />
• A blend of bioavailable vitamins K1 and K2<br />
• Avoids imbalances between the four fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E & K)<br />
when taking any of these on an individual basis<br />
• Supports those with difficulty absorbing fats and fat-soluble vitamins<br />
• Ideal dose for short or long-term supplementation<br />
ADEK Bottled Sunshine may support:<br />
• Bone and tooth health<br />
• Healthy immune function<br />
• Prostate, colon and breast health<br />
• Cardiovascular/arterial health<br />
• Health and maintenance of skin,<br />
hair, nails<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal containing fat, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Adrenal Adapt<br />
NUTRIENT AND ADAPTOGENIC HERBAL SUPPORT<br />
FOR THE ADRENAL GLANDS<br />
Adrenal Adapt is a comprehensive blend of nutrients and botanical compounds designed to support healthy adrenal function. The<br />
adrenal glands are responsible for regulating a wide variety of processes in the body, most notably the “fight or flight” response to<br />
stressful situations. These glands produce several hormones and neurotransmitters, some of which are designed to help regulate<br />
energy levels and mood on an ongoing basis, and others which are intended to be released only in short bursts, to help power<br />
someone through brief moments of intense stress or vigilance.<br />
Due to the fast pace and unrelenting demands of modern life, however, the adrenal glands are taxed with producing higher<br />
amounts of these compounds more frequently. This may first result in overactive adrenal function, with very high levels of stress<br />
hormones (cortisol, in particular), but the glands can only keep up with this increased demand for so long before they begin to lag<br />
behind, eventually leading to adrenal exhaustion, in which output of these critical hormones and chemical messengers decreases,<br />
resulting in fatigue, reduced initiative, low moods, and difficulty handling even mild amounts of occasional stress. It is common for<br />
some people to “ping-pong” back and forth between these two states, leading to feeling simultaneously “tired and wired.”<br />
Highlights<br />
B-vitamins and vitamin C are crucial contributors to energy generation at the cellular level, which may bolster adrenal function and<br />
combat the fatigue that is a hallmark of tired adrenals. The amino acid tyrosine is a building block for thyroid hormones as well as<br />
the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, which are involved in balanced moods and the ability to cope<br />
with stress. B-vitamins—specifically B6—serve a second function as required cofactors in the biochemical processes that produce<br />
these critical neurotransmitters. All of these nutrients are available in food, but over time, stress may increase the need for higher<br />
amounts than are typically obtained from the diet alone.<br />
Adaptogens<br />
A key feature of Adrenal Adapt is the inclusion of several herbal adaptogens—compounds that help the body regulate the production<br />
of various hormones and neurotransmitters. Whether the need is for an increase or a decrease, they facilitate the normalizing<br />
of these levels. Rhodiola, ashwagandha, American ginseng, and eleuthero are adaptogens that have been used for centuries in<br />
Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to support healthy responses to stress. An additional ingredient, licorice, helps cortisol stay in the<br />
bloodstream longer, thereby lessening the demand on the adrenals to produce more of it.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take three capsules per day with meals, or as directed by a health care practitioner<br />
(divided dosing recommended).<br />

Adrenal Glandular<br />
BALANCED NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE ADRENAL GLANDS<br />
Adrenal Glandular is a glandular-based formula designed to support overall adrenal function in order to help with<br />
optimum stress tolerance and healthy energy levels.<br />
The primary function of the adrenal glands is the release of hormones in response to stress through the production<br />
of cortisol – also known as the “stress hormone” – and other compounds such as dopamine, epinephrine and<br />
norepinephrine. While small increases in cortisol support homeostasis and aid in regulating the body’s “fight or flight”<br />
response, higher than normal levels of cortisol have been shown to deplete the body’s nutrients and negatively impact<br />
adrenal performance.<br />
Why include glandulars?<br />
A glandular-based product provides the particular nutrients needed to help support and tonify specific organ tissues.<br />
The glandulars selected for Adrenal Glandular formulation are derived from some of the purest and cleanest sources on<br />
the market today. These glandular materials are obtained only from certified BSE-free countries. They are freeze-dried<br />
to maintain the integrity and activity of the glandular material.<br />
In keeping with the long-held theory that “like heals like,” Adrenal Glandular includes tissue-specific glandulars from<br />
both the adrenal cortex and the whole adrenal gland. Rich in an array of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, they<br />
contain protein-like substances which may have specific messenger activity that help target the body’s adrenal tissues<br />
to help strengthen and repair these glands.<br />
Highlights<br />
N-acetyl-tyrosine is the most bioavailable form of the amino acid tyrosine and is a critical building block of the hormones<br />
and neurotransmitters which are often depleted under chronic stress conditions. Research shows that supplementing<br />
with tyrosine may provide specific therapeutic benefits to people experiencing chronic stress.<br />
Vitamin C – its inclusion in Adrenal Glandular is critical, as it plays an important role in adrenal hormone production and<br />
the maintenance of healthy cortisol levels.<br />
B Vitamins – the comprehensive spectrum of B vitamins in this product serve as enzyme cofactors in the balanced<br />
production of stress hormones. To ensure superior bioavailability (meaning that your body can readily use them), most<br />

Agent<br />
A PATENTED NANO SILVER SUPPLEMENT<br />
Colloidal silver is an antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral miracle.<br />
Silver has been used for centuries as an agent against infections. According to silver expert Ben Taylor, “Silver kills one-celled<br />
organisms (germs), Period.” Another silver researcher, Frank Key, states that “any silver ions that manage to arrive in the<br />
bloodstream will combine with the chloride to form silver chloride within a few seconds.” This combination is deadly to<br />
micro-organisms.<br />
Research by Beiersdorf, the maker of Curad bandages and one of the world’s largest medical supply companies, indicates that<br />
when brought into contact with germs, silver inhibits their growth by<br />
deactivating their oxygen metabolism enzymes. In turn, this destroys the microbe’s cell membranes, stopping the replication<br />
of its DNA. The key to successful treatment is bringing the silver into contact with the one-celled organism; how easy or<br />
difficult that is depends on where the silver needs to go and how widespread or systemic the microbial infection actually is.<br />
Colloidal silver has been demonstrated to work on micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, and fungal organisms) in lab studies<br />
from Syracuse and UCLA. Research shows that even antibiotic-resistant infections respond well to colloidal silver therapies.<br />
Silver is also being used in the fight against Ebola. After experiencing positive results testing the use of nutrient Nano Silver 10<br />
PPM in Ebola patients, Sierra Leone has now approved this nutrient as an Ebola therapy. 1 Retired U.S. Air Force Major General<br />
Albert N. Stubbleine II has stated: “Only silver can prevent an Ebola Global Health Security Cataclysm.”<br />
WHAT ABOUT THE RISK OF BEING TURNED BLUE?<br />
Regarding this unlikely occurrence, Ben Taylor states:<br />
“Contrary to what the media propaganda would lead you to believe, the condition call Argyria<br />
develops only with prolonged and heavy use of these other silver products, but I do believe that colloidal silver (silver in<br />
distilled water) in any reasonable therapeutic use will not cause this condition. Certainly this very rare occurrence is not reason<br />
for anyone to be averse to using one of mankind’s safest and most effective natural germ-killers. Just remember, we should be<br />
reasonable with anything we put into our bodies, even health supplements; an aspirin or two will kill a headache, a bottle of<br />
aspirin may kill you. This holds true with anything you consume; there is a toxic effect level with almost all products. Iron and<br />
copper are essential for healthy bodies and their deficiencies can be devastating to the body’s chemistry, but there are levels<br />
at which they too can cause adverse effects. Plain water consumed excessively can cause death by diluting and depleting the<br />
body’s electrolytes. The bottom line is, when you consider the tens of thousands of deaths and organ failures caused by most<br />
over-the-counter and other ‘FDA approved drugs and medicines’, any risk with silver pales in comparison to any OTC<br />
headache drug.”<br />

ALA Supreme<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS<br />
ALA Supreme is a formula designed to help support healthy blood sugar levels and insulin balance. It combines<br />
lipoic acid with the amino acid taurine and biotin -a member of the B vitamin family. Long-term supplementation<br />
of lipoic acid may reduce biotin levels because lipoic acid competes for biotin-dependent enzymes. Therefore, it is<br />
recommended that they are supplied together. Taurine and biotin also play important roles in fostering healthy insulin<br />
function.<br />
Benefits of Lipoic Acid<br />
Lipoic acid is a naturally occurring compound produced in the<br />
body that acts as a strong antioxidant and also supports the<br />
regulation of blood sugars. Studies indicate that lipoic acid aids<br />
healthy blood sugar levels by optimizing the function of insulin<br />
receptors (the sites where the insulin attaches so it can do its<br />
job) in order to support proper insulin balance.<br />
Benefits<br />
• Antioxidant properties<br />
• Regulation of healthy blood<br />
sugar levels<br />
Antioxidants are substances that fight damaging free radicals in the body and, thus, are critical to the body’s<br />
overall health and energy. Lipoic acid acts as an antioxidant, but also regenerates other important antioxidants,<br />
such as vitamins E and C.<br />
Additional Highlights of ALA Supreme<br />
• Biotin is a member of the B complex involved in the manufacturing of fatty acids and glucose. It supports the health of the skin,<br />
nerves, digestive tract, metabolism and cells. It also helps to support healthy insulin sensitivity, which means that the body is able<br />
to use insulin efficiently and effectively to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.<br />
• Taurine is an amino acid that regulates the level of water and mineral salts in the blood. It also possesses beneficial antioxidant<br />
properties and assists with a healthy inflammatory response.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Aller away<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR UPPER RESPIRATORY HEALTH<br />
Aller Away is a blend of nutrients and botanical extracts designed to support a healthy immune response during times of seasonal<br />
upper respiratory challenges.<br />
Tinofend®<br />
The key ingredient in this product, Tinofend®, is an extract from the plant Tinospora cordifolia, which has been used since the early<br />
1900s in Ayurvedic medicine for its immune-modulating action. Tinofend® contains a complex of polysaccharides and polyphenols<br />
that has been shown to regulate key immune mediators and stimulate the activity of macrophages—specialized cells that are a<br />
primary part of the immune system.<br />
Additional Highlights: Vitamin C, quercetin, and nettles – All three provide antioxidant benefits and help support the immune system.<br />
Vitamin C<br />
One of the most well-known and widely studied nutrients of our day, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin with many<br />
functions in the body. Besides its antioxidant and immune-supportive roles, it is necessary for the body to make collagen in bones,<br />
cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. It is a naturally occurring compound found in many plant foods, most notably citrus fruits, berries,<br />
pineapple, bell peppers, and broccoli.<br />
Quercetin<br />
Quercetin has been called “king of the flavonoids” because of its powerful antioxidant properties and its ability to promote a healthy<br />
response to inflammation. It is found in many foods that are recognized for their health benefits, such as red onions, apples, olive oil,<br />
dark berries and grapes, capers, salad greens and culinary herbs, such as dill, cilantro, watercress, and radicchio. (Quercetin contributes<br />
to the richly colored pigments in these foods.)<br />
Nettles<br />
Nettles (a.k.a. “stinging nettle”) is a perennial flowering plant which has been employed throughout the ages and across the globe<br />
for a wide variety of purposes. Documentation points to its use in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and among native peoples in<br />
North America. Nettle has been consumed directly, or made into soup or tea. Its high content of vitamin C and iron underlies its immune-supporting<br />
effects. Nettle has traditionally been used for supporting respiratory and joint health. It is also a compound with<br />
natural abilities to help balance the body’s inflammatory response.<br />
Note: The bicarbonate salts in this formula—potassium and sodium—may help mitigate the potential drowsiness experienced by<br />
those who may also be taking antihistamine medications.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take four capsules daily, two capsules twice per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

ATP Torch mixed berry<br />
DESIGNED TO SUPPORT A HEALTHY ENERGY LEVEL<br />
Purenergy<br />
ATP Torch contains Purenergy which is an innovative patent-protected ingredient that combines caffeine with pTeroPure®<br />
pterostilbene—a highly bioavailable analogof resveratrol—to form a unique co-crystal structure. It appears that this unique<br />
structure affects the way the body utilizes caffeine. As such,it may offer significant advantages over caffeine alone.*<br />
Study Findings<br />
In a rat study (n=6), the half-life of the caffeine from Purenergy was eight hours, while that of ordinary caffeine was just three<br />
hours. [1] In apreliminary, four-week, single-blind, crossover human study (n=12) that compared 232 mg of Purenergy (providing<br />
99.76 mg of caffeine) to100 mg of ordinary caffeine, the following effects were demonstrated:<br />
• Purenergy delivered almost 30% more caffeine into the blood than ordinary caffeine.*<br />
• The absorption rate of the caffeine from Purenergy was significantly slower by approximately 30% compared to ordinary<br />
caffeine.*<br />
• The half-life of the caffeine from Purenergy was extended significantly by approximately 25% compared to ordinary<br />
caffeine.*<br />
• At 4 hours, serum showed 45% more caffeine from Purenergy compared to ordinary caffeine.*<br />
• At 6 hours, serum showed 51% more caffeine from Purenergy compared to ordinary caffeine.*<br />
• Purenergy had no adverse effect.*<br />
While the results of these studies are promising, larger studies are needed to validate the findings and determine if these findings<br />
translateinto a lengthened energy effect.*<br />
More Energy<br />
Taken together, data from these studies suggest that the effects of caffeine from Purenergy may last longer than the effects from<br />
ordinarycaffeine and point to a potential for reducing total caffeine intake due to Purenergy’s more efficient delivery and slower<br />
absorption rate.These are encouraging factors for people who wish to reduce their caffeine intake.*<br />
Slower Caffeine “Finish”<br />
Scientists are researching whether or not the extended half-life and slower absorption rate of caffeine from Purenergy can produce<br />
a moremoderated and gradual finish. This may help prevent the “crash” associated with regular caffeinated energy products and<br />
may give ATPTorch an advantage over formulas that use ordinary caffeine.*<br />
All-Natural, No Sugars<br />
ATP Torch relies on natural ingredients, not ephedra or artificial stimulants. Furthermore, it provides only five grams of<br />
carbohydrates andzero sugars. By using natural flavors and stevia in place of sugar and other carbohydrates, the typical “sugar high”<br />
that is associated withmany energy drinks can be avoided. Equally important, ATP Torch contains no artificial colors.*<br />
Caffeine, in General<br />
In animal and human studies, caffeine has demonstrated positive effects on athletic performance, fatigue, and cognitive functions,<br />
such assupporting a healthy memory. According to Meeusen et al, research on caffeine suggests its performance-enhancing effect<br />
is related toantagonism of the adenosine receptors that influence the dopaminergic and other neurotransmitter systems.*<br />
Pterostilbene<br />
In the aforementioned human study, Purenergy also delivered approximately 50% more total pterostilbene into the blood than<br />
pTeroPuredelivered alone, thus potentially enhancing the functional benefits of pterostilbene. Pterostilbene is a highly<br />
bioavailable analog ofresveratrol—a stilbenoid found in blueberries and grapes. Compared to resveratrol, pterostilbene is four times<br />
more bioavailable, hasa seven times greater half-life, exhibits greater oral absorption and metabolic stability (pterostilbene is more<br />
lipophilic), and producestwo to four times greater cellular uptake. Aside from resveratrol’s well-known antioxidant<br />
benefits that support cardiovascular health,pterostilbene is also known to activate certain proteins (i.e., SIRT1 and PGC-1α) involved<br />
in increasing mitochondrial biogenesis andtherefore ATP (energy) production.*<br />

Automatic enzymes<br />
FOR THE SUPPORT OF OPTIMUM DIGESTION AND NUTRIENT ABSORPTION<br />
It is often said that ‘we are what we eat.’ The truth is, we are not just what we eat, but what we digest and absorb. Many<br />
factors in our modern diets and lifestyles can interfere with efficient digestion, which means that even when we’re<br />
eating a healthy diet, we may not be receiving the full level of nutrition we expect from our foods.<br />
Compromised digestive function can lead to occasional signs of indigestion, such as mild gas, bloating, constipation,<br />
and feeling excessively full after meals. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A somewhat weakened digestion means we<br />
will not effectively absorb vitamins, minerals, fats, or amino acids, and our whole body can be affected in areas such as<br />
the immune system, bone and joint health, energy levels, balanced moods, reproductive health, and more.<br />
Things like psychological stress, food sensitivities, eating on the run, aging, and a number of health concerns can<br />
compromise digestive function. Fortunately, there are plant-based enzymes that can assist in the healthy breakdown<br />
and assimilation of foods.<br />
Automatic Enzymes Digestive Formula includes support for digesting all three macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats:<br />
• Carbohydrate-digesting enzymes: amylase, glucoamylase, cellulase, hemicellulase, diastase, beta-glucanase, and<br />
invertase. These are helpful for the breakdown of simple sugars as well as complex carbohydrates, starches, and fiber. This<br />
product also contains lactase, for the digestion of lactose – the ‘milk sugar.’<br />
• Protein-digesting enzymes: protease, acid protease, alpha-galactosidase, protease SP<br />
• Fat-digesting enzyme: lipase<br />
Automatic Enzymes Digestive Formula contains no animal products. It is presented in a vegetable capsule and is suitable for<br />
vegetarians.<br />
It may be especially helpful for the improved digestion of plant foods like grains and beans, as well as dairy products, which<br />
commonly induce digestive upset. Strengthened digestion means we will harness more of the essential, life-building nutrients in<br />
the quality foods we choose.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Awesomeness day<br />
A NATURAL WAY TO ATTAIN CALM FOCUS<br />
What is GABA?<br />
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter in the brain and central nervous system. It is naturally synthesized<br />
from the amino acid glutamate, but some individuals may benefit from additional amounts. While glutamate is an<br />
“excitatory” neurotransmitter, GABA is inhibitory, which helps to balance the stimulating effects of glutamate. GABA<br />
slows down the activity of nerve cells and helps prevent them from over-firing. Through this mechanism, GABA serves as<br />
a calming agent for the body, helping to combat occasional stress and anxiety. Keeping GABA levels optimal may help<br />
support balanced moods and a healthy response to stressful situations.<br />
Because of GABA’s effect on the parasympathetic nervous system (which is responsible for the relaxing “rest and digest”<br />
state, as opposed to the “fight or flight” feelings induced by the sympathetic nervous system), Awesomeness Day may be of<br />
great benefit in situations where a relaxed state of mind is necessary. If the mind is relaxed, it allows for clear thinking,<br />
better focus, and greater concentration. In this respect, GABA may be of benefit in academics, helping to improve learning<br />
capacity. This concept also holds true with respect to athletes and sports performance. Athletes sometimes refer to this<br />
state of mind as being “in the zone,” where their ability to relax and focus leads to a greater level of concentration on<br />
their performance and a reduction in pre-competition nervousness. Awesomeness Day may also help reduce the agitation<br />
that often accompanies efforts to quit smoking and change other longstanding habits, as well as help to reduce “racing<br />
thoughts” that make it difficult to fall asleep.<br />
Awesomeness Day is provided as chewable tablets, a<br />
delivery method that allows for rapid and efficient<br />
absorption and assimilation. As a result, benefits<br />
may be felt very quickly, which could be helpful in<br />
acutely stressful situations. The tablets are free of<br />
gluten and refined sugar, and are sweetened with<br />
the polyol, xylitol, and the natural herb, stevia.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, chew two tablets per day,<br />
or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />
Due to its role in promoting calm, Awesomeness<br />
Day may be beneficial for the following:<br />
• Anxious thoughts or agitation<br />
• Cravings for sugar or alcohol<br />
• Concentration and mental clarity in academic settings<br />
• Calm focus in preparation for athletic events<br />
• Difficulty falling asleep<br />
Who Should Not Take<br />
Pregnant women and children under 6 years old should avoid taking Awesomeness Day. Use of Awesomeness Day may conflict<br />
with taking anxiety medications. Do not take Awesomeness Day with excess alcohol consumption as it may exacerbate the<br />
relaxation effect of alcohol drastically.<br />

B5 Burst<br />
VITAMIN B5<br />
Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin used as a cofactor in many important biochemical<br />
reactions such as acetyl-CoA synthesis and Krebs cycle of energy production. Pantothenic acid is important for the body<br />
to properly use carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids and for healthy skin. It is naturally occurring in both plants and animals<br />
including meat, vegetables, cereal grains, legumes, eggs, and milk.<br />
After absorption, pantothenic acid is converted to a sulfur-containing compound called pantetheine. Pantetheine is then<br />
converted into coenzyme A, which is the only known biologically active form of pantothenic acid.<br />
Research Proven Benefits:<br />
• Alcohol Detoxification: Participates in the metabolism of acetaldehyde, a by-product of ethanol metabolism<br />
• Anti-Stress Effect: Synthesis of steroid hormones and proper functioning of the adrenal glands<br />
• Biochemical Reactions: Coenzyme A (CoA), which is the active form of pantothenic acid, helps transfer<br />
two-carbon units (acetyl groups) in a wide variety of biochemical reactions.<br />
• Cholesterol and Tryglicerides Lowering: Pantethine, a metabolite of pantothenic acid, seems to have a beneficial effect on<br />
triglyceride and lipoprotein levels by producing cystamine. The hydrolysis product cystamine inhibits acetyl-CoA<br />
carboxylase, which in turn reduces triglyceride synthesis. Pantethine might also reduce cholesterol synthesis by inhibiting<br />
HMG-CoA reductase, by inhibiting the conversion of lanosterol to cholesterol.<br />
• Energy Metabolism: Enhances the release of energy from carbohydrates in the Krebs cycle<br />
• Fat Synthesis: Involved in synthesis of phospholipids, fats, cholesterol, and bile acids<br />
• Fighting Infections: Was shown to help the immune system fight viral hepatitis<br />
• Neurotransmitter Synthesis: Involved in synthesis of acetylcholine<br />
• Red Blood Cells: Involved in synthesis of porphyrin in the hemoglobin of red blood cells<br />
• Surgery and Wound Healing: In combination, pantothenic acid and ascorbic acid significantly enhance post surgical<br />
therapy and wound healing. Another study found that vitamin B5 accelerated the healing process of conjunctiva and the<br />
cornea after reconstructive surgery of the epithelium.7 Pantothenic acid also appears to be essential to normal epithelial<br />
function.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Blood Sugar all in one<br />
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR OPTIMAL GLUCOSE AND INSULIN LEVELS<br />
Blood Sugar All In One is a comprehensive multivitamin and mineral formula designed to support healthy carbohydrate<br />
metabolism and protect the body from oxidative damage. This formula includes helpful compounds rarely found in<br />
other multivitamins—such as green tea extract, taurine, inositol, carnosine, and benfotiamine. The main minerals in<br />
Blood Sugar All In One are in chelated form, which increases their bioavailability and contributes to sustained levels of<br />
these nutrients in the body.<br />
Why choose this formula?<br />
The combination of overly stressful lives and modern diets high in refined carbohydrates is extremely taxing on the body.<br />
The main organs that help control healthy blood sugar levels—the pancreas and liver—take an especially damaging hit.<br />
When we consume too many carbohydrates over a long period of time, we can lose the ability to maintain healthy blood<br />
glucose levels. Sustained elevated blood glucose can lead to suboptimal glucose metabolism, which has a damaging<br />
effect on the human body.<br />
A dedicated program of lifestyle changes and a diet of whole, unprocessed foods that are low in carbohydrates are crucial<br />
factors for maintaining overall health. <strong>Supplement</strong>ing with key nutrients that aid in the conversion of carbohydrates to<br />
energy can lend additional support for optimal wellness.<br />
Highlights<br />
• B vitamins – Required for energy production at the cellular level; the B vitamins in this formula occur in their active and most<br />
potent forms: B12 as methylcobalamin, B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, and folate as NatureFolate – a naturally occurring folate<br />
(as opposed to synthetic folic acid)<br />
• Chromium, vanadium, & biotin – Aid in healthy insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and carbohydrate metabolism<br />
• Carnosine, benfotiamine, & lipoic acid – Unique compounds shown to have antioxidant properties; they help protect retinal,<br />
kidney, and nerve cells – the ones at greatest risk from suboptimal blood sugar metabolism<br />
• Magnesium – Balances calcium intake and supports healthy blood pressure<br />
• Selenium & iodine – Minerals essential for the production of thyroid hormones, with thyroid function being responsible for<br />
influencing the body’s metabolism<br />
• Taurine – Antioxidant and liver support; needed for the production of bile salts, which are components of bile – the fluid secreted<br />
from the gallbladder needed for the digestion of lipids<br />
• Molybdenum – found in the liver and kidneys; plays a role in the detoxification process<br />
• Vitamin A & zinc – Support immune function and eye health, both of which can be affected by blood glucose levels<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take six capsules per day, two with each meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Bone Force<br />
COMPREHENSIVE BONE SUPPORT<br />
Bone Force contains a unique blend of nutrients to help build strong, healthy bones. The function of bones within the body<br />
includes offering structural support, providing strength and mobility, and aiding in the protection of the brain and internal<br />
organs. They also store essential nutrients such as calcium and phosphorous that may be mobilized and used for the optimal<br />
function of other organs.<br />
Bone health can be difficult to maintain because the skeleton requires adequate amounts of nutrients, but it also must serve<br />
the needs of the rest of the body, acting as a mineral reservoir. If the body extracts too much from the skeletal system, the<br />
bones weaken. Therefore, the key to bone health is homeostasis, which involves keeping an even and healthy state of flux<br />
between the nutrients in the bones and the body.<br />
Chelated minerals for superior absorption<br />
Bone Force contains minerals from Albion Advanced Nutrition, the leader in formulating chelated minerals. Albion uses<br />
patented technology to create an organic molecule that is already in a form the body can use. These chelates consist of<br />
minerals that are bonded to amino acids, such as calcium malate and zinc glycinate. This chelated form substantially increases<br />
the probability that the body will absorb the mineral for its use and benefit. True chelates are not only better absorbed, but<br />
they are better retained by the body.<br />
Chelated Minerals<br />
• Calcium is critical to bone health. Approximately 99% of calcium is found in bone and is an essential component in<br />
forming bone structure.<br />
• Magnesium is involved in bone formation and also affects the concentrations of the active form of vitamin D, a major<br />
regulator of bone homeostasis.<br />
• Zinc helps to increase bone formation and mineralization.<br />
• Copper helps keep bones flexible and strong.<br />
• Manganese is necessary in forming the bone matrix into which calcium and other bone minerals are deposited.<br />
• Potassium intake has a positive correlation with bone health as seen in studies of older women.<br />
• Boron works together with calcium to strengthen bone. It also aids in the metabolism of the other minerals involved in<br />
bone development.<br />
Vitamins C, D, and K<br />
• Vitamin C is critical in maintaining the homeostasis necessary for healthy bone mass.<br />
• Vitamin D helps facilitate calcium absorption in the intestine and is instrumental in bone turnover. Vitamin D deficiency<br />
is on the rise due to avoidance of sun exposure, certain medications which bind fat (anticonvulsants, steroid drugs,<br />
laxatives), and women with low hormone levels. Also, vitamin D status declines with age because of a reduced dietary<br />
intake, diminished absorption from food, and because aging skin has a reduced capacity for vitamin D synthesis.<br />
• Vitamin K acts as a coenzyme in facilitating increased bone deposition, reduces urinary calcium secretion and improves<br />
bone turnover profile.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
Take four tablets per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

It has been suggested that hesperidin alters endothelial cells to permit natural dilation and control of blood flow and pressure. In<br />
isolated and cultured endothelial cells, hesperidin stimulates the production of endothelial NO synthase, the NO-producing<br />
enzyme that triggers arterial dilation which, in turn, increases healthy blood flow. A randomized, placebo-controlled,<br />
double-blind, crossover trial examined whether oral hesperidin administration (500 mg/day for three weeks) improved endothelial<br />
function in 24 individuals with metabolic syndrome. The results revealed asignificant increase in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the<br />
metabolic syndrome patients compared to the patients on placebo.*<br />
Another name for hesperidin is hesperetin 7-rutinoside. As discussed above, the rutinoside hesperidin is widely studied and has<br />
been linked to several major health-promoting effects. However, the low solubility and complex metabolism of rutinosides in the<br />
gastrointestinal system havelimited their absorption. Each capsule of BP Prevail contains 250 mg of Cordiart, a unique<br />
pharmaceutical grade rutinoside orange peel extract thatcontains a high concentration of rutinoside-2S. The high ratio of the more<br />
active “S” form in Cordiart makes it unique. Compared to other rutinosidepreparations, which contain nearly equal amounts of the<br />
“S” to “R” forms, Cordiart has shown greatly improved bioavailability.*<br />
Cordiart has been studied for its effect in activating endothelial production of NO. In a randomized placebo-controlled trial, subjects<br />
received a three-week intervention of 500 mg/day of Cordiart resulting in an <strong>18</strong>% higher FMD score, a direct marker of<br />
endothelial function, compared to those receiving placebo. Additionally, concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein<br />
(hs-CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) were reduced as was circulating E-selectin, indicating reduced obstruction of the<br />
endothelium.*<br />
An additional randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the effect of 450 mg of daily Cordiart on endothelial<br />
function in 68 overweight subjects for a six-week period. Although no significant changes in fasting or postprandial FMD were<br />
observed in a group of patients with a baseline FMD of less than 3%, those with a baseline greater than or equal to 3% showed<br />
significant improvement in endothelial function. Circulating adhesion molecules sVCAM-1 and slCAM-1 were reduced along with<br />
systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both groups regardless of baseline FMD. The findings suggested that Cordiart has a<br />
promising role in the preservation of endothelial function and healthy blood flow in overweight individuals.*<br />
Grape Seed Extract<br />
Grape seed extract is a rich source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), which donate electrons or protons to reactive oxygen<br />
species (ROS) and act as scavengers. Oxidative stress can increase vascular endothelial permeability, formation of oxidized LDL, and<br />
activation of phagocytic cells. Grape seed extract has been investigated for its ability to interfere with oxidative stress, benefiting<br />
cholesterol and blood pressure.*<br />
When utilized as a dietary supplement, grape seed extract has been suggested for lowering blood pressure in individuals with<br />
mildly elevated levels. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, supplementing with 300 mg per day of grape seed extract for<br />
eight weeks (n=66) resulted in a statistically significant decrease in both systolic (average reduction of 8 mmHg) and diastolic blood<br />
pressure (average reduction of 5mmHg) in adults with prehypertension (mildly elevated blood pressure). Levels in the placebo<br />
group were not reduced.*<br />
In another double-blind placebo-controlled study, 27 subjects with metabolic syndrome were given 150 or 300 mg per day of grape<br />
seed extract for four weeks. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were lowered after treatment with grape seed extract as<br />
compared with placebo. A decrease in oxidation of LDL particles also occurred in the treatment group.*<br />

Each capsule of BP Prevail contains 75 mg of Enovita®, a grape seed extract standardized to 95% proanthocyanidins. Enovita has<br />
shown efficacy in maintaining healthy blood pressure when associated with diet and lifestyle modification. A four-month<br />
duration study evaluated two dosages (150mg/day and 300 mg/day) of Enovita in 119 subjects with borderline hypertension<br />
(defined as pre-hypertension) (120-139 mmHg/80-89 mmHg) and stage 1 hypertension (140-159 mmHg/90-99 mmHg). The<br />
participants utilized nondrug dietary (reduction in salt, alcohol, and caffeinated drinks) and lifestyle (regular exercise, sleep time<br />
improvement, relaxation, and smoking reduction) interventions. Blood pressure and heart rate were the primary endpoints, with<br />
blood pressure normalization being significantly higher in the Enovita supplementation groups compared to control starting from<br />
the fourth week of supplementation.*<br />
Olive Extract<br />
The evidence linking the Mediterranean diet to cardiovascular health has grown substantially in recent years with specific research<br />
suggesting that olive oil and its phenolic constituents are primary beneficial contributors. Phenolic compounds have been shown to<br />
have a protective effect against LDL oxidation, and additional studies have demonstrated the ability of olive leaf extracts to<br />
significantly reduce blood pressure measurements. [25] Olive polyphenolic compounds have also been linked to an increase in the<br />
production of NO.*<br />
Each capsule of BP Prevail provides 125 mg of Arthricor® olive extract blend with three polyphenols—hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein,<br />
and tyrosol at levels supportive of vascular health.*<br />

Brain Magnesium<br />
SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY MENTAL FUNCTION<br />
Brain Magnesium features the unique mineral, magnesium L-threonate, which is magnesium chelated to threonic acid<br />
(a metabolite of vitamin C). Magnesium L-threonate has been found to be superior to other forms of magnesium<br />
at getting through the blood brain barrier, as it is able to transport magnesium molecules across lipid membranes,<br />
including brain cells. This product is a chelated mineral, which refers to how magnesium-L-threonate is bonded<br />
together, allowing for optimal absorption and utilization.<br />
Magnesium and the Brain<br />
Magnesium is one of the most critical minerals in the human<br />
body, where it is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions. It<br />
plays a pivotal role in healthy bone growth, energy production,<br />
muscle relaxation, heart health, and in supporting a healthy<br />
nervous system. Our nervous system relies on magnesium<br />
to help regulate calcium and potassium molecules in nerve<br />
tissues, as well as the brain.<br />
Brain Magnesium may help:<br />
• Support normal mental function<br />
• Assist with occasional sleeplessness<br />
• Promote relaxation<br />
• Support a healthy stress response<br />
• Support mood<br />
Suboptimal levels of magnesium are commonly seen in the US population. Magnesium levels can be affected<br />
by stress, alcohol consumption, exercise, excessive sweating and certain medications. Signs and symptoms<br />
of low magnesium levels include irritability, frustration, being easily startled, muscle cramps or twitches,<br />
difficulty phasing out background noises, and occasional sleeplessness.<br />
With its ability to be well-absorbed by the body and to reach brain cells, magnesium-L- threonate may be<br />
beneficial in helping to support normal mental function and cognition.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take three capsules per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Cell Saver<br />
CELL BOOST<br />
Derived from pure coconut oil, Cell Saver is a nutrient-rich boost to the immune system that helps “save the cell” from all types of<br />
micro-organisms, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and even yeast and candida. It includes many of the same components<br />
that a mother’s milk provides to babies. THIS DOES NOT COME FROM MOTHER’S MILK, however, nor should it be used as an<br />
infant formula. Yet many of the same disease-fighting factors, like lauric acid, that protect and sustain an infant are found in Cell<br />
Saver. Cell Saver has both medium and short chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid, monomyristin, monocaprin, and monocaprylin.<br />
The body uses these raw materials to make monolaurin, which is believed to be antiviral and antibacterial. A raw fat, monolaurin<br />
helps detoxify the liver and build the immune system.<br />
Unlike conventional antibiotic, sulfa drugs, antivirals, parasitic drugs, or antifungal agents, Cell Saver works on the outside<br />
membrane or “skin” of the virus, acting almost as a “bullet-proof” jacket that prevents the attachment of the virus to susceptible host<br />
cells. As an added benefit, it’s virtually non-toxic to humans.<br />
Cell Saver:<br />
• Destroys lipid-coated “bugs”<br />
• Inactivates lipid-coated viruses<br />
• Breaks up the double layer of fats that surrounds a virus<br />
• Dissolves (solubilizes) the lipid and phos pholipids in the<br />
lipid envelope of the virus<br />
• Interferes with the signal transduction of the virus<br />
• Interferes with the assembly of new viruses that can<br />
spread and infect other cells<br />
• Interferes with the maturation of the virus<br />
Clinical test show that together, the main components of Cell Saver (monolaurin and monocaprin) are nearly 100% effective against<br />
killing pathogenic or disease-causing micro-organisms while not appearing to kill friendly bacteria (normal fauna). This is one<br />
reason to consider using Cell Saver after a course of antibiotics, as it helps the body recover from a damaging infection.<br />
Cell Saver is a helpful treatment for viral infections such as shingles, Epstein-Barr, and the cytomegalos virus; yeast overgrowth<br />
systems such as systemic candida, aspergillosis, and thrush; and upper respiratory infections such as the common cold and flu.<br />
Cell Saver is pure unencapsulated coconut oil and contains no filters.<br />
Coconut is not a botanical nut; it is classified as a fruit, even though the Food and Drug Administration recognizes coconut as a tree<br />
nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut.<br />

Chelate plus<br />
HELPS PROTECT TISSUES FROM OXIDATIVE STRESS<br />
Chelate Plus is designed to help the body rid itself of damaging oxidative elements. It features specialized ingredients, such as EDTA,<br />
Himalayan shilajit extract (50% fulvic acid), chlorella, cilantro, and antioxidantstimulating nutrients. These ingredients perform in<br />
concert to support your health when your body is challenged by environmental toxins, such as heavy metals.<br />
Himalayan Shilajit Extract (Asphaltum punjabinum) is a purified form of shilajit also known as salajit, shilajatu, mimie, or mummiyo.<br />
This naturally occurring phytocomplex is found in high mountain rocks, especially those of the Himalayas and Hindu Kush ranges<br />
of the Indian subcontinent. It is formed from decomposed plant material that has been preserved in the dark pressure of rocky<br />
crevasses. As the sun warms the rocks and the snow melts, the shilajit seeps out and is scraped from the stone by hand. Nature’s Nx,<br />
LLC.’s shilajit is meticulously harvested at high altitudes to ensure the purest product possible. It is then low-temperature dried and<br />
tested to be free of pollutants. Shilajit is composed mainly of humic substances, including fulvic acid, plus some oligoelements<br />
(minute amounts of trace elements). It has a rich history of use in the Indian Ayurvedic and Siddha systems of medicine, and it is<br />
known as a rasayana because of its rejuvenating qualities.<br />
Modern research suggests that shilajit has powerful antioxidant activity. As an example, in an animal model, processed shilajit<br />
increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in a dose-dependent manner.<br />
Furthermore, humic substances, as found in shilajit, have been shown to affect the distribution, metabolism, and absorption of<br />
heavy metals, such as cadmium and lead. One human study showed that the daily consumption of humic acid with bound complex<br />
micro-elements for six weeks decreased uptake and increased urinary excretion of cadmium in alkaline battery production workers.<br />
EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a synthetic amino acid compound and perhaps the most well-known and often-used<br />
intravenous chelating agent. Oral EDTA is poorly absorbed, but it is thought to support detoxification of metals largely in the<br />
gastrointestinal tract. More studies are needed to validate oral administration. It is believed that there is a benefit in combining<br />
EDTA with other chelators because EDTA acts slowly and could potentially lead to redeposition of metals. Due to EDTA’s<br />
metal-binding ability, it is important to replace beneficial minerals, such as zinc, copper, iron, cobalt, and manganese.<br />
Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum), also known as Chinese parsley or coriander, suppresses the deposition of lead by chelating the<br />
metal. Furthermore, in an experimental animal study, lead-induced histological changes in the testis of albino mice were<br />
prevented to some extent by concomitant daily administration of C sativum extracts, perhaps due to a reduction in associated<br />
oxidative stress.<br />
Allicin is the main biologically active component of garlic clove extracts and has promising effects on toxic metal accumulation in<br />
experimental research. In animal and in vitro models, garlic was able to reduce cellular exposure to, or accumulation of, lead,<br />
cadmium, and mercury. Furthermore, various extracts and forms of garlic have demonstrated garlic’s ability to positively affect<br />
detoxification pathways.<br />
Chlorella is a naturally occurring micro-algae and an excellent source of chlorophyll—a detoxifying substance that is also thought<br />
to bind toxic metals. The positive effect of chlorella supplementation on toxic metals, including methylmercury, cadmium, and lead,<br />
is supported by animal research. For example, testing its metal chelating ability, researchers observed a dramatic 66.03% reduction<br />
in blood lead levels in mice receiving chlorella extract (50 mg/kg/day) concurrent with lead exposure compared to lead-exposed,<br />
non-treated mice.<br />
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) and Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) are well-known for their antioxidant activity. Exposure to heavy metals<br />
increases free radical production and oxidative stress. Research suggests that there is a beneficial role for free radical scavengers in<br />
reducing the oxidative stress that is common with toxic metal exposure. NAC has the ability to interact with reactive oxygen<br />
species (ROS) and stimulate the body to produce glutathione. This can enhance cell survival after exposure to heavy metals or<br />
toxins. In addition, ALA may directly chelate or reduce the oxidative capacity of metals, such as copper, arsenic, cadmium, and<br />
mercury.<br />

Clean + Trim<br />
DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM<br />
The Importance of Detoxification<br />
We live in an increasingly toxic environment. Many toxins, also known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), are abundant in the<br />
environment today but did not exist 30 years ago. These new toxins include certain pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals that<br />
can enter the body through food, water, and air supplies.<br />
These toxins can and often do become trapped in the body’s organs and tissues, which over time can negatively impact health, vitality,<br />
and overall wellness, and may contribute to the development of chronic illness.<br />
How Does Detoxification Work?<br />
In the human body, the liver and kidneys function as a filter for harmful substances. This natural ‘filtration system’ needs to be properly<br />
supported to ensure that the body’s detoxification process is functioning effectively and that toxins are being properly eliminated.<br />
The Two Phases of Detoxification<br />
PHASE I The liver receives raw materials, processes them, and sends them on to Phase II.<br />
PHASE II Some of the products that pass through the first phase are more harmful than<br />
the raw materials they started out as. Phase II, therefore, needs to be functioning optimally in order to quickly get<br />
rid of these new, more damaging substances.<br />
If the liver’s detoxification pathways become overwhelmed, this can lead to an unwanted build-up of toxins in the body.<br />
The Clean + Trim Detoxification Program is designed to support the body’s natural two-phase process of detoxification, allowing toxins to<br />
be safely cleansed from the body.<br />
Potential Benefits of Detoxification<br />
• Healthy energy and vitality<br />
• Proper weight management<br />
• Healthy skin and hair<br />
• Restful sleep<br />
• Clear thinking<br />
• The establishment of healthy habits for optimal long-term health<br />
Keys to Sucess<br />
A successful detox program should be simple to follow, convenient to use, and effective in its outcome.<br />
Simple<br />
The Clean + Trim Detoxification Program is as simple as consuming two drink mixes and two capsule packets per day, along with a structured<br />
food plan that is detailed in the detox guidebook.<br />
Convenient<br />
The Clean + Trim powder and capsule packets are easy to use and transport, which means no hassle and no mess.<br />
Effective<br />
This program combines a comprehensive array of high quality nutrients with a structured food plan designed to safely and effectively<br />

liver in balancing Phase I and II detoxification pathways. Additionally, certified organic pea protein is used to support detoxification by<br />
providing a clean and nutrient dense protein to optimize results. While other detoxification programs recommend organic foods, their<br />
primary program formula is not organic.<br />
Clean + Trim capsule packets<br />
These proprietary capsule packets effectively support the detoxification process by increasing Phase II activity and insuring proper protein<br />
digestion. The proprietary protein digestion formula is important for relieving gastrointestinal discomfort often associated with other<br />
detoxification programs. This formula is effective in helping protect the liver while chemicals and other toxins are<br />

Ck Destruct<br />
SUPPORTS HEALTHY MICROBIAL BALANCE<br />
CK Destruct offers a complementary blend of herbs, essential oils, and sodium caprylate, a naturally occurring fatty acid. CK<br />
Destruct is formulated to support the body’s immune system as well as a healthy gastrointestinal (GI) flora. This comprehensive<br />
formula contains Origanox WS—a GRAS, phenolic-rich ingredient extracted from the edible herb Origanum vulgare—as well<br />
as herbs to support digestion and a healthy GI system.<br />
CK Destruct offers a functional approach to achieving and maintaining balance in gastrointestinal flora, a primary component<br />
of GI health. The complementary blend of ingredients is formulated to support antioxidant activity, microbial balance, and<br />
gastrointestinal function.<br />
Origanox† WS The water-soluble form of Origanox (Origanox WS) is a natural plant extract from the edible herb Origanum<br />
vulgare (oregano). Essential oils and phytonutrients from oregano, including rosmarinic acid and quercetin, have been<br />
studied closely for their role in supporting antioxidant mechanisms and healthy microbial balance in the body. The ORAC<br />
(oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value of Origanox is 5,800 units per gram. The ORAC scale, developed by scientists<br />
at the National Institute of Aging, is a measure of the scavenging capacity of antioxidants against free radicals that cause<br />
oxidative stress.<br />
Sodium Caprylate, a derivative of caprylic acid, is a medium-chain fatty acid with a long research history. Research indicates<br />
that it has the potential to support healthy microbial balance in the intestines without adversely affecting beneficial GI flora.<br />
Studies also suggest that it may have direct effects on cellular integrity and growth, further supporting gastrointestinal<br />
health.<br />
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) plays an important role in CK Destruct, offering support for gastrointestinal, immune, and<br />
antioxidant systems. Ginger has been used for centuries for support of normal gastric function and activity.<br />
Turmeric Extract Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used historically to support normal muscular contraction/relaxation<br />
and digestion. This ancient herb is rich in curcumin, which has been researched considerably for its protective effects,<br />
as well as its ability to support healthy cytokine balance. The addition of turmeric to CK Destruct provides additional<br />
support for GI function and balance.<br />
Olive Leaf Extract from the traditional medicinal plant Olea europaea is known for its array of healthful attributes, including<br />
support for immune and antioxidant activities. While studying the attributes of olive leaf, scientists in the late 19th century<br />
isolated oleuropein, which is converted in the body to the active component elenolic acid. By the late 1960s, research<br />
focused on the role of both oleuropein and elenolic acid. Oleuropein and rutin in olive leaf may contribute to maintaining<br />
healthy gastrointestinal microflora. Olive leaf extract in CK Destruct is standardized to 20% oleuropein, while less<br />
concentrated formulas are standardized to as little as 6% oleuropein.<br />
CK Destruct is a comprehensive formula designed to support GI tract health and microflora balance while concurrently<br />
supporting antioxidant systems and tissue health.<br />

Clear Confidence<br />
LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR ACNE CONTROL<br />
Clear Confidence capsules have been formulated to provide comprehensive support for healthy acne control by focusing on the<br />
internal healing process and overall skin health. Over 80 percent of the US population between ages 12 – 24 will develop some<br />
form of microbial and inflammatory skin condition such as acne, although skin issues can affect people of all ages. There are various<br />
factors that cause and contribute to acne, the most common skin disease in the US, with two of the main culprits being bacteria and<br />
the inflammatory response. Going hand in hand with these are systemic oxidative stress, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances<br />
and an altered intestinal microflora. The nutrients in Clear Confidence work synergistically to target these factors, addressing the<br />
root causes of this skin condition that afflicts millions of people.<br />
Pantothenic acid, carnitine and healthy lipid metabolism<br />
Clear Confidence capsules contain a generous 2500 mg of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) per serving. The development of acne<br />
appears to be in some way correlated with insufficiency of this vitamin (Leung LH, Med Hypotheses, 1995). Pantothenic acid plays<br />
a significant role in the maintenance of keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.<br />
Research shows that when this vitamin is depleted, keratinocyte proliferation is suppressed. In addition, with pantothenic acid<br />
insufficiency a decrease is seen in the synthesis of keratinocyte growth factor and procollagen in fibroblasts, the cells in connective<br />
tissue that produce collagen and other fibers (Kobayashi D, J Pharmacol Sci, 2011).<br />
Pantothenic acid sufficiency has also been shown to reverse this process and therefore decrease the severity of acne. It also works<br />
in the transport of fats across cell membranes, assisting in the regulation and efficiency of lipid metabolism, which gets disrupted<br />
during acne breakouts. When acne occurs, bacteria cause inflammation in skin pores which are blocked with sebum, the fluid<br />
secreted from the sebaceous glands (microscopic glands in the skin). With proper lipid metabolism, there is a decrease in the<br />
excretion of sebum. The skin pores can then revert back to a smaller, more normal size, leaving the skin much smoother.<br />
The inclusion of carnitine in Clear Confidence capsules is highly advantageous, as it is an essential cofactor in lipid metabolism.<br />
Carnitine is an indispensable nutrient which supports the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be oxidized<br />
and used for the production of cellular energy. Carnitine is also a potent anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive nutrient, and<br />
plays a key factor in decreasing oxidative stress. It is found in cells throughout the body including skin fibroblasts, and is neccessary<br />
for cellular repair, preventing cells from self-destructing by fighting against free radicals. The 500 mg of carnitine in each serving of<br />
Clear Confidence also allows for pantothenic acid to work more efficiently in regards to lipid metabolism.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
Therapeutic dose – 6 capsules per day with meals for 3-6 months (ages 13 and up)<br />
Maintenance dose – 3 capsules per day<br />

Complete mineral chelates<br />
Why are Minerals Important?<br />
“Minerals are the basic spark-plugs in the chemistry of life, on which the exchanges of energy in the combustion of foods and the building<br />
of living tissues depend.” - Dr. Henry Schroeder, a leading authority on trace elements<br />
This iron-free formula contains a comprehensive array of minerals which the body needs in order to sustain life and work<br />
properly. The body uses minerals for a wide range of functions — including building strong bones and teeth, making<br />
hormones, participating in the conversion of food into energy, transmitting nerve impulses, and helping muscles to<br />
contract and relax. Since magnesium is more difficult to obtain in the daily diet, a 1:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium was<br />
chosen for this formula.<br />
Uses<br />
• Ideal as a daily supplement to help maintain healthy mineral levels<br />
• Beneficial for use in mineral replenishment when there are known deficiencies, or for use following medical<br />
treatments that may deplete mineral status<br />
Understanding Albion chelated minerals<br />
Compounds are made up of two or more elements and ‘chelation’ describes how these elements are bonded together. In<br />
their natural state, minerals are known as ‘inorganic elements,’ which means they are not biological in origin. The human<br />
body cannot use inorganic minerals directly. It must first convert them to an organic or biological form. During the<br />
digestive process, when an inorganic mineral is presented, this conversion process starts to work, chemically bonding<br />
the inorganic molecule to an organic molecule. This process is called chelation and the end product is referred to as a<br />
chelate. Hence, this chelate becomes an organic compound that can now be absorbed and used by the body.<br />
Unfortunately, many situations can negatively impact the efficiency of our body’s natural chelation process, such as<br />
interference from dietary fiber and phytates, a non-ideal pH, or certain medications, any of which can cause minerals to<br />
pass through unabsorbed. Thus, in reality it can be very difficult to get minerals from food or non-chelated supplements<br />
to keep you at optimum health.<br />
To compensate for this, Complete Mineral Chelates contains the finest chelated minerals from Albion Advanced<br />
Nutrition – the leader in chelate technology – for optimal absorption and utilization.<br />
Albion uses patented technology to create an organic molecule already in a form the body can assimilate. These<br />
molecules are mineral amino acid chelates, minerals bonded to amino acids (i.e., calcium malate, zinc glycinate, etc.). This<br />
chelated organic form substantially increases the probability that you will absorb the mineral for its use and benefits.<br />
True chelates are not only better absorbed, but they are better retained by the body.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take three capsules per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

SUPPORTS SATIETY<br />
While a healthy diet and exercise are paramount to good health and maintaining healthy body composition, adding supplementary<br />
soluble fiber offers additional benefits. When selecting fiber, there are many aspects to review. Each fiber is unique in origin, purity,<br />
viscosity, and overall stability once ingested. In fact, even one type of fiber can vary greatly in quality. Amorphophallus konjac, a<br />
tuberous plant, is a rich source of the soluble fiber glucomannan. This fiber has an exceptional ability to absorb water and is one of<br />
the most viscous dietary fibers known.<br />
Not All Glucomannans Are Created Equal<br />
There are many aspects of glucomannan that affect end-product quality: the species of konjac used, the harvesting location, the<br />
time of harvesting, the production process, impurities (e.g., sulfites), viscosity, the response of the viscosity to different pH levels and<br />
temperatures, and hydration speed. For these reasons, finding the material with the most manufacturing and processing experience<br />
and scientific research behind it is important.<br />
Propol® A Propolmannan<br />
Shimizu Chemical Corporation is a pioneer in the world of dietary fiber and its health benefits. Using its vast knowledge—over 300<br />
years of processing raw material (Japanese Amorphorphallus konjac species) and extracting glucomannan—it has developed Propol<br />
A propolmannan, a highly purified glucomannan. Shimizu’s unique and proprietary three-stage purification process is carried out in<br />
large-scale extraction plants and involves pulverizing the Amorphophallus tubers, collecting mannan-glucose particles, and<br />
polishing the particles in order to dislodge and extract noxious materials that adhere to them. With the use of cutting-edge<br />
technology, Propol A has been reduced to a special particle size that maximizes density while remaining in desirable viscous form.<br />
This process yields a pure, refined, high-performance Amorphophallus propolmannan that improves product solubility, stability,<br />
and overall functionality.<br />
Viscosity, Stability Through the Digestive Tract<br />
Viscosity is a physicochemical property of soluble fiber that reflects the fiber’s ability to thicken as it mixes with fluid. Viscosity is a<br />
recognized factor affecting physiological responses to soluble fiber. Propol A features an extremely high viscosity (100,000 mPa·s),<br />
which is thought to contribute to its health benefits. Furthermore, as a benefit of its unique processing, Propol A remains intact in<br />
the digestive tract—another key factor in fiber functionality. Viscosity and stability, taken together, produce a highly effective<br />
material that, once in the digestive tract, attracts water and forms a viscous gel-like substance that slows digestion, delays the<br />
emptying of food from the stomach into the small intestine, slows down the influx of carbohydrates and fats into the bloodstream,<br />
binds to bile acids, and impedes dietary fat absorption.*<br />
Satiety and Weight Control<br />
Soluble fiber is known to act as a bulking agent in the stomach and intestine, which creates the signals of fullness and causes<br />
individuals to eat less. Studies suggest that glucomannan supplementation significantly reduces weight at doses of 3 g/d to 4 g/d<br />
when compared to placebo. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the effects of 3 g/d of Propol (1 g 30-60<br />
minutes prior to each meal) combined with 300mg/d of calcium were studied. When dosing compliant and non-complaint<br />
subgroups were analyzed, the results indicated that compliant subjects experienced a significant reduction in scale weight, body fat<br />
percentage, and fat mass without a loss of fat-free mass or bone density. In another study, the mean weight loss for the<br />
glucomannan group was 5.5 lbs in eight weeks, while subjects in the placebo group gained 1.5 lbs.*<br />
Glucose and Lipid Metabolism<br />
Soluble fiber slows the absorption of carbohydrates, which influences the release of insulin and the rate of fat storage.<br />
Glucomannan studies have not only demonstrated a positive impact on postprandial glucose handling and glucose metabolism but<br />
also on cholesterol metabolism.This latter effect is thought to result from the fact that soluble fiber reduces fat and cholesterol<br />
absorption and carries bile out of the intestines. When fewer bile acids are available, the body draws cholesterol from the<br />
bloodstream to make more.*<br />
Healthy Bowel Function, Prebiotic<br />
Glucomannan not only allows more water to remain in the stool, thereby making waste softer, larger, and easier to pass through the<br />
intestines, but it is also an excellent prebiotic. In a placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel, double-blind, crossover trial, doses of 3<br />
g/d and 4 g/d of glucomannan had a positive impact on intestinal habit (i.e., daily and weekly evacuations) and stool characteristics<br />
when compared to placebo. Glucomannan has also been shown to reduce mouth-to-cecum transit time compared to placebo. In<br />
other research, glucomannan improved defecation frequency, eased bowel movement, increased the fecal concentration of<br />
lactobacilli as well as the daily output of bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, and total bacteria. In addition, fermentation of glucomannan<br />
resulted in greater fecal acetate, propionate, and i-butyrate concentrations and lower fecal pH.*<br />
How to take: Mix one to two scoops (1.6-3.2 g) in 8-12 oz of water or other non-alcoholic beverage and consume once per day, or<br />
mix one scoop as directed and consume 30 to 60 minutes before each of your two biggest meals, or use as directed by your healthcare<br />
practitioner.<br />

CoQ-10 Advanced<br />
MICRO-EMULSIFED COQ10 IN 100 MG SOFTGEL<br />
CoQ-10 Advanced offers highly bioavailable ubiquinone coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)<br />
in easy to swallow softgels. It is manufactured via a new, proprietary emulsification<br />
process that uses all-natural ingredients, including vitamin E, medium chain<br />
triglycerides (MCT) and lecithin, and is free of polysorbates, castor oil, and<br />
polyoxyethylated chemicals. Superior bioavailability has been demonstrated in<br />
an in-house human clinical trial, showing this material to be up to 390% more<br />
bioavailable than our previous, superior absorption, Q-Avail formulation.<br />
Coenzyme Q10<br />
Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble, high molecular weight compound produced by<br />
the body for the basic functioning of cells. It is synthesized endogenously on a<br />
branch of the mevalonate pathway, which also produces cholesterol. CoQ10 plays<br />
a central role in cellular energy metabolism that produces adenosine triphosphate<br />
(ATP), the energy currency for muscle contraction and other cellular processes.<br />
Organs with high energy demands, such as the heart and liver, have the highest<br />
concentrations of CoQ10.<br />
CoQ10 is recognized for its significant role in the electron transport chain as well<br />
as being one of the body’s most vital antioxidants. It is found in the mitochondria,<br />
the energy-producing center or “powerhouse” of the cell. In addition to being<br />
produced in the body, CoQ10 can also be obtained in small amounts through<br />
certain dietary sources, such as fish (salmon and tuna) and organ meats (heart,<br />
liver and kidney).These amounts (internal and dietary), however, may often be<br />
inadequate to meet the body’s demands. Additionally, age and various illnesses,<br />
as well as the use of various medical classes, increase the need for this valuable<br />
nutrient. Thus, as is the case with many vitamins and minerals, supplemental<br />
amounts of CoQ10 may be beneficial for ameliorating specific health conditions<br />
and helping to prevent or limit oxidative damage.<br />
Who May Benefit<br />
<strong>Supplement</strong>ation with CoQ10 has<br />
been shown to provide a wide<br />
range of health benefits and may<br />
help support the following:<br />
• Cardiovascular health<br />
• Hypertension<br />
• Aging<br />
• Fatigue<br />
• Dental health<br />
• Eye health<br />
• Renal health<br />
• Migraines<br />
• Neural and brain health<br />
• Chemotherapy<br />
• Genetic CoQ10 deficiencies<br />
• Male infertility<br />
CoQ10 Demystified<br />
CoQ10 exists in both ubiquinone and ubiquinol forms, its names derived from the word “ubiquitous” because it is present<br />
everywhere in the human body. The number ten in “CoQ10” refers to its biochemical structure, which consists of ten isoprene units<br />
attached to a benzoquinone “head.”<br />
In the mitochondrial electron transport system, CoQ10 undergoes continuous reversible oxidation and reduction. It<br />
is converted to ubiquinol (reduced form) when it accepts electrons and to ubiquinone (oxidized form) when it donates<br />
electrons. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 regulates membrane fluidity, recycles radical forms of vitamin C and E, and protects<br />
membrane phospholipids against peroxidation (the process whereby free radicals “steal” electrons from the lipids in cell<br />
membranes, which can result in cell damage).<br />
macular degeneration 12<br />
Why is CoQ10 Important?<br />
Low levels of ubiquinone have been documented in people experiencing various conditions including:<br />
• Chronic fatigue syndrome 4<br />
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 7 • Age-related<br />
• Cardiomyopathy 6 • Asthma 11<br />
• Congestive heart failure 5<br />
• Parkinson’s disease 8<br />
• Hyperthyroidism 13<br />
• Angina pectoris 5<br />
• Cancer 9<br />
• HIV/AIDS 14<br />
• Coronary artery disease 5<br />
• Periodontal disease 10<br />
• Cerebellar ataxia 15<br />

Craving Killer<br />
APPETITE CONTROL<br />
Craving Killer is a powerful diet suppressant and helps kill cravings by helping you to control the portions that you eat while at the<br />
same time helping your body feel full so that you don’t snack as often.<br />
The main ingredient in Craving Killer, is garcinia cambogia extract also known as malabar tamarind. It contains hydroxycitric acid<br />
(HCA), which can help support healthy weight loss. Garcinia is a plant native to India, Southeast Asia and Polynesia. Its fruits have<br />
been eaten by local populations for centuries. It has also been used to give flavor to culinary dishes. Each tablet delivers 500 mg of<br />
Garcinia Cambogia.<br />
Why take supplements in liquid form?<br />
The answer is simple. Liquid <strong>Supplement</strong>s have an absorption rate that is up to 10 times higher than a pill form. Your body simply<br />
has a harder time digesting pills. Pills also contains unwanted ingredients added in order to bind the pill together. Fillers and<br />
binding agents used in forming a pill can actually hinder the absorption rate. This greater bioavailability translates into two things:<br />
you get more of the nutrient you need so you benefit more...and you may also find that you benefit faster.<br />
Benefits<br />
-Contains the recommended potency of Garcinia<br />
Cambogia backed by clinical trials: 50% HCA<br />
-Effective appetite control<br />
-Decrease belly fat<br />
-Controls cravings<br />
-Fast Absorption<br />
-Hydroxycitric acid 50%<br />
-Natural Berry Flavor<br />

Daily Dose Shake<br />
SUPPORTS PROTEIN METABOLISM AND HEALTHY BODY COMPOSITION<br />
FRENCH VANILLA AND DUTCH CHOCOLATE<br />
Daily Dose Shake is a nutrient-rich shake mix ideal for vegans, individuals sensitive or allergic to soy and/or dairy, or those seeking an<br />
alternative source of quality protein. Daily Dose Shake features Vegan Protein Blend, an all-natural pea and rice protein blend; Aminogen®,<br />
a plant enzyme that enhances protein digestibility and absorption; and Artinia® chitin-glucan, a novel fiber that supports antioxidant<br />
systems in the body. This sugar- and stevia- free formula provides an array of micronutrients, including high-potency B12, activated B<br />
vitamins, and Albion® TRAACS® chelated minerals (the real amino acid chelate system).*<br />
Vegan Protein Blend in Daily Dose Shake is a proprietary blend of highly digestible pea protein concentrate, pea protein isolate,<br />
glycine, taurine, rice protein concentrate, and L-glutamine, is the cornerstone of Daily Dose Shake. Aminogen is added to enhance<br />
protein digestion and absorption. The combination of pea protein and rice protein achieves an amino acid score of 100% and<br />
supports protein metabolism and healthy body composition.*<br />
Protein is required for cell and tissue repair, hormone and enzyme synthesis, and a variety of metabolic functions. It is especially<br />
important for maintaining lean body mass during increased physical activity. Protein supplementation has been found to be a<br />
determining factor in increasing fat-free mass and exercise-stimulated fat oxidation. Subjects who consumed a significantly higher<br />
protein intake (~80 g/d versus ~59 g/d) experienced a significant increase in fat oxidation and fat-free mass with a significant<br />
decrease in fat mass and body fat percentage. Studies have indicated that increased protein intake enhances satiety and supports<br />
diminished food intake during subsequent meals. One randomized crossover study suggested that pea protein was superior to milk<br />
protein with respect to satiety and intermeal interval. Research has also demonstrated that pea protein stimulates release of<br />
cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide 1, gastrointestinal hormones that modulate appetite sensations.*<br />
While pea-based protein provides a satisfying and versatile source of protein, it also supports cardiovascular health. Animal studies<br />
have suggested that it positively affects lipid homeostasis by modulating gene expression; that is, upregulating genes that affect<br />
hepatic cholesterol uptake and downregulating genes that affect fatty acid synthesis.*<br />
Artinia® Chitin-Glucan is incorporated into Daily Dose Shake to support antioxidant activity and cardiovascular health. Artinia is a<br />
purified, insoluble, gluten-free fiber ingredient composed of chitin (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) and beta(1,3)-glucan chains. Artinia<br />
has been researched for its effects on maintaining oxidative balance and artery health, key components of cardiovascular health. A<br />
12-week animal study indicated that chitin-glucan supports cardiovascular health by maintaining healthy arteries, reducing cardiac<br />
superoxide anion and liver malondialdehyde (markers of oxidation), and enhancing superoxide dismutase and glutathione<br />
peroxidase activity.*<br />
Human trials have revealed significantly positive results as well. A six-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind,<br />
placebo-controlled study (n = 130) of Artinia revealed that 1.5 g/d significantly supported subjects’ LDL cholesterol at levels already<br />
within normal range, and 4.5 g/d significantly supported subjects’ natural antioxidant systems and oxidative balance of LDL<br />
cholesterol. A 28-day pilot study found Artinia to be safe and well-tolerated at a dose of 4.5 g/d. Daily Dose Shake provides 2.25 g<br />
of Artinia per serving. Artinia is a healthy alternative to phytosterol supplementation and has not been observed to interfere with<br />
absorption of fat-soluble vitamins or antioxidants.*<br />
Micronutrient Support in Daily Dose Shake delivers a balanced profile of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, nutrients vital to<br />
supporting the vast array of metabolic processes in the body. B vitamins are present in their bioactive forms, including riboflavin<br />
5’-phosphate, pyridoxal 5’-phosphate, methylcobalamin, and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate as Quatrefolic®.*<br />
Sugar- and Stevia-Free This formula is sweetened with monk fruit extract in place of sugar or stevia. Animal and human research<br />
suggests that superfluous consumption of added sugars increases adiposity, disrupts lipid regulation, and elevates cardiometabolic<br />
risk.*<br />
Glutamine The conditionally essential amino acid glutamine is important for replenishing amino acid stores, especially after<br />
exercise or stress. Glutamine also supports intestinal cell proliferation and thereby preserves gut barrier function and intestinal<br />
health.*<br />
Inulin This soluble fiber is fermented by colonic bacteria into short-chain fatty acids that exert a positive effect on lipid metabolism<br />
and support healthy colon transit time.*<br />
How to take:<br />
Mix two scoops (38 g) in 6-8 oz of cold water and consume. Adjust amount of water according to thickness desired. May be used as<br />
a snack or meal supplement, or taken as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use.<br />

Deep c<br />
A LIPOSOMAL C SUPPLEMENT<br />
Dr. J has a strong personal conviction regarding the positive effects of Vitamin C.<br />
When his father, Dr. Henry West, faced life-threatening illness after becoming sick with mercury poisoning due to breaking a<br />
tooth, a close friend suggested his father might have scurvy. To gain a better understanding of vitamin C and its effects on<br />
scurvy, Dr. J then read Curing the Incurable by Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD. Dr. J often says that the book changed his life. After<br />
receiving high doses of vitamin C, his father finally recovered, and Dr. J was so struck with this transformation that he went back<br />
to school to receive his Naturopathic degree, which allows him to treat illnesses with high dose, intravenous vitamin C.<br />
Vitamin C was first discovered in 1928 by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a Hungarian scientist who was later awarded the Nobel Prize in<br />
Physiology or Medicine. Vitamin C’s chemical name, “ascorbic,” is derived from the Latin name for scurvy, “scorbutus,” a<br />
condition brought about by a vitamin C deficiency. Although scurvy is no longer a common affliction, there are many more<br />
modern applications of this essential nutrient.<br />
Consider Dr. Levy’s definition of life as “a state in which an optimal degree of electron interchange among cells can take place.<br />
Health exist when electrons flow fully and freely, illness exists when this flow is impaired, and death exists when this flow stops.<br />
“Vitamin C is one of the primary substances enabling this vigorous, continuing electron exchange among the body’s tissue and<br />
molecules. Since poor electron exchange is prevalent with disease, this means there is also a vitamin C deficiency whenever the<br />
body is sick. When this exchange is compromised and illness sets in, there is a need for more vitamin C.<br />
Vitamin C supports optimal overall health and has also been shown to be effective in treating and preventing heart disease,<br />
strokes, cataracts, hay fever, asthma, cancer, polio, mercury toxicity, and many others conditions. Additionally, vitamin C triggers<br />
productions of collagen, which is the glue that holds our body’s cell together and makes up the tendons and ligaments in our<br />
connective tissue. This antioxidant also promotes muscle repair, reduces muscle soreness from overexertion, replenishes energy<br />
naturally, protect cell from damage caused by free radicals, and supports Paleo, Zone, and Vegan Diets. Vitamin C is shown to<br />
improve healing, improve tissue health, a ready electron donor, protect DNA/RNA, and stimulate the immune system.<br />
Furthermore, there is some scientific evidence suggesting that consumption of antioxidant vitamins like Deep C may reduce<br />
the risk of certain fatal disease and illnesses.<br />
How do we get this essential nutrient? While most animals produce their own vitamin C, primates, humans, fruit bats and<br />
guinea pigs do not. Since the human body does not have the ability to synthesize and vitamin C whatsoever, the vitamin must<br />
be directly ingested, usually in the form of supplements as well as through the diet, to maintain adequate levels. What is the<br />
recommended daily dose? The World Health Organization recommends 45 mg/day. The FDA daily allowance is 60 mg/day. And<br />
in response to disease states such as cancer, Dr. Linus Pauling, Ph.D., who was often referred to as the “Father of Vitamin C,”<br />
recommended high dose upwards of 10 g/day. Although such high doses are still considered alternative, many physicians today<br />
are using these high doses of vitamin C to treat many diseases. At the West Clinic we are known to use large intakes of up to 10g<br />
or 100,000 mg in several of our IV protocols. When intravenous vitamin C is not possible, we use Deep C.<br />
Deep C is a special type of Vitamin C. This liquid supplement provides a powerful dose of vitamin C in a liposomal delivery<br />
system that offers optimal assimilation. *The liposome has hydrophilic and hydrophobic sides, providing a fat and water<br />
portion, which allows the vitamin C to be absorbed through the fat and water-soluble pathways for proper utilization in the<br />
body. Deep C is especially beneficial for patients with general GI dysfunction.*<br />

Digest it<br />
SYNERGISTIC FORMULA TO SUPPORT OPTIMAL DIGESTION<br />
Digest It combines betaine hydrochloride (HCl) along with a comprehensive, synergistic blend of enzymes which are vital for<br />
the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.<br />
The importance of healthy digestion:<br />
A proper diet is the foundation for good health and maintaining an appropriate body weight. However, the well-known phrase<br />
“you are what you eat” is only part of the equation. We are not just what we eat, we’re also what we digest, absorb, and assimilate.<br />
If digestive function is compromised, we cannot fully benefit from the nutrients in our diet, no matter how high the quality of our<br />
foods.<br />
Proper digestive function is beneficial for:<br />
• Sustained energy • Bowel regularity • Robust immunity<br />
• Balanced moods • Healthy skin and strong nails • Reproductive health<br />
Digestion can be weakened for many reasons. Our busy modern lives are a recipe for suboptimal digestion. The “fight or flight”<br />
mechanism that gets us through everyday stressful situations prevents the “rest and digest” mode from doing its job. Feeling<br />
worried, anxious, or simply eating too quickly can lead to occasional insufficient stomach acid production. In addition, the<br />
production of our own digestive enzymes naturally declines 1% every three years after age thirty. Therefore, it is understandable<br />
why so many people benefit from enzyme supplementation for optimal digestion and assimilation of nutrients from food.<br />
Signs that you may benefit from digestive enzymes include:<br />
• Occasional bloating and gas, particularly after eating<br />
• Feeling full after eating only a small quantity of food<br />
• Infrequent mild indigestion/heartburn (components of undigested food bubbles back up into the esophagus)<br />
• Bowel irregularities such as occasional diarrhea and/or constipation<br />
Digest It Highlights<br />
u Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) – an excellent source of hydrochloric acid, also known as stomach acid. Betaine HCl helps to<br />
support proper stomach acidity, as adequate HCl is necessary to begin the breakdown of proteins, and to trigger the secretion of<br />
enzymes that help digest fats, carbohydrates and proteins.<br />
u Proprietary blend of digestive enzymes includes:<br />
• Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) – a special enzyme which aids in the breakdown of gluten and casein (hard-to-digest<br />
proteins in wheat and milk)<br />
• Lactase – the enzyme which helps digest lactose, known as the “milk sugar”<br />
• Ox bile extract and lipase – to emulsify and digest fats and fat-soluble vitamins<br />
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

VITAMIN D + K<br />
A special thanks to the Vitamin D Council website for their information.<br />
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for good health, and my help manage and prevent a variety of conditions, particularly viral<br />
respiratory infections.<br />
Respiratory infections reside in the throat, sinuses, airways, or lungs, and include influenza, the common cold, sinus infections,<br />
bronchitis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.<br />
Studies have shown a link between vitamin D levels and the risk of getting a respiratory infection. People who have low vitamin D<br />
levels tend to have a higher chance of developing a respiratory infection, and more people get respiratory infections int he winter,<br />
when vitamin D levels are known to be lower. Some research has also demonstrated that people with high levels of vitamin D who<br />
get respiratory infections have a shorter illness duration or less severe symptoms.<br />
An experiment done in Sweden in 2012 looked at adults who had a history of getting multiple respiratory infections each year.<br />
The researchers gave participants either 4000 IU of vitamin D or a dummy pill daily for one year. They found that people receiving<br />
vitamin D had fewer respiratory and sinus symptoms and were on fewer antibiotics throughout the year, in addition to having fewer<br />
viruses and bacteria present in their respiratory tracts and noses. The researchers concluded that supplementing with 4000 IU of<br />
vitamin D per day may help to prevent respiratory tract infections in adults.<br />
How does vitamin D potentially do this? There are vitamin D receptors found on cells in the immune system and the respiratory<br />
tract, and vitamin D can bind to these receptors. Vitamin D works in the immune system by reducing levels of inflammatory proteins<br />
called cytokines, as well as increasing amounts of antimicrobial proteins, which destroy invading germs and viruses.<br />
This combination of lowering inflammation and increasing antimicrobial defenses can help your immune system fight infections<br />
better.<br />
Having enough vitamin D increases the amount of proteins that destroy invading respiratory viruses along with other viruses like<br />
the rhinovirus.<br />
Vitamin K enhances the effect of vitamin D, as it helps unlock the cells to allow vitamin D to enter. In addition, vitamin K aids the<br />
formation of strong bones, bone mineralization, and cardiovascular health. Vitamin D+K includes both of these important vitamins.<br />
While Vitamin D is a beneficial nutrient, please note that if you have a respiratory infection, you shouldn’t take vitamin D in place of<br />
any treatment medications. Talk to your physician for more advice about taking supplements.<br />

Dr. J’s MInt Madness<br />
HIGH FIBER, LOW GLYCEMIC, DAIRY FREE FUNCTIONAL FOOD BAR<br />
Dr. J’s Mint Madness is an incredibly delicious, high fiber, dairy free functional food bar whose taste rivals that of a Peppermint<br />
Pattie! Its rich, dark chocolate outer coating surrounds a creamy, naturally flavored peppermint filling that contains high quality,<br />
health-promoting ingredients.<br />
Fourteen grams of dietary fiber per bar!<br />
Dr. J’s Mint Madness is an ideal high fiber, between meal snack, offering a generous 13 g of soluble fiber in each bar; it<br />
features Fibersol®-2 and the prebiotic fibers inulin, isomaltooligosaccharides, and fructooligosaccharides. Soluble fibers<br />
are so named because they disperse or dissolve in water. These fibers attract water, and when mixed with water they<br />
form a gel-like substance in the GI tract.<br />
The benefits of soluble fibers are vast and include helping to support*:<br />
• Healthy digestion – help delay the emptying of the stomach and contributes to a feeling of fullness, which may help<br />
with proper weight management<br />
• Bowel regularity – help the intestines absorb water by drawing in fluid from the body which increases the bulk of the<br />
stool<br />
• Healthy blood glucose levels – regulate the emptying of the stomach in order to maintain normal blood sugar levels<br />
after eating<br />
• Normal cholesterol levels – the gel-like substance created by soluble fibers binds with cholesterol and bile acids in<br />
the small intestine and helps to eliminate them from the body<br />
• Immune system function – supports a normal inflammatory response by having a positive influence on the production<br />
of an anti-inflammatory protein (interleukin-4) that has a positive impact on immune cells<br />
Prebiotics: Additional benefits of inulin, isomalto-oligosaccharides, and fructooligosaccharides*<br />
• Support healthy gut microbiota – prebiotics act as food for probiotics; they help stimulate the growth and support<br />
the maintenance of beneficial bacteria<br />
• Help with the absorption of minerals – including calcium and magnesium; this increased solubility of minerals occurs<br />
due to an increased bacterial production of short-chain fatty acids, which improves the health and integrity of the<br />
intestinal mucosa<br />

Dynamic Duo<br />
CHELATED CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM: SUPERIOR ABSORPTION OF THESE<br />
NOTABLE MINERALS<br />
When in balance, calcium and magnesium play vital roles in many areas of human health. Calcium is crucial for muscle contraction,<br />
proper blood clotting, wound healing, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, nerve transmission, the building of strong bones<br />
and teeth, and for inhibiting the build-up of lead in the body.<br />
Magnesium, one of the most critical minerals in the human body, is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions and plays a pivotal<br />
role in muscle relaxation, energy production, heart health, maintenance of proper blood pressure, and in helping to prevent the<br />
accumulation of aluminum, a toxic metal implicated in many common degenerative neurological disorders.<br />
Great examples of this harmonious duo: calcium is necessary for muscles to contract, while magnesium is needed for muscles to<br />
relax; calcium works to stimulate nerves, while magnesium calms the nerves.<br />
Dynamic Duo offers chelated calcium and magnesium in the standard 2:1 ratio, the ratio found in the human body. It has long been<br />
understood that the key to these two minerals comes, not simply from their extensive individual roles, but rather from the<br />
synergistic effects when they are in proper balance with one another.<br />
Signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency include:<br />
• Fatigue • Irritability • Becoming easily startled<br />
• Muscle cramps/twitches • Difficulty phasing out background noises • Insomnia<br />
A fundamental point is that overly imbalanced calcium supplementation can actually lead to greater demand for magnesium.<br />
Why Albion® Mineral Amino Acid Chelates are superior to mineral salts:<br />
• Most bioavailable form: not only allows for superior absorption, but is retained better in body tissue such as bone<br />
• Easy to tolerate: chelated calcium is better tolerated than non-bound calcium salts; does not cause the milk-alkali<br />
syndrome which can lead to stomach upset and kidney problems<br />
• Do not interfere with the absorption of other minerals<br />
• Exceptionally stable: stays intact throughout the digestive system<br />
• Phytates (i.e., from fiber) and picolinates will not interfere with the absorption of Albion chelated minerals due to these<br />
minerals’ stability<br />
Great buffers for balancing pH<br />
Both calcium and magnesium are alkalinizing minerals, functioning as buffers which help keep the body’s pH from becoming too<br />
acidic. Thus, these minerals can easily be depleted during this buffering process in situations involving high acid diets (protein/<br />
grains). For best results in raising patient levels of these minerals.<br />
Who should consider Dynamic Duo?<br />
Dynamic Duo is ideal for people who are not consuming enough green leafy vegetables, nuts/seeds (magnesium sources), and<br />
dairy products (an ideal calcium source) to obtain adequate levels of these essential minerals.<br />
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Emc2<br />
INTENSIVE BRAIN SUPPORT<br />
EMC2, (also known in the research literature as GPC or L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine or choline alfoscerate), is a naturally<br />
occurring molecule in all the body’s cells and mother’s milk. EMC2 is an ‘activated’ form of choline, the difference stemming from the<br />
addition of a phosphate and glycerol group (see diagram below).<br />
Unlike phosphatidylcholine, EMC2 is water soluble, it crosses the blood brain barrier, and it requires less energy on the pathway to<br />
acetylcholine synthesis or the addition of specific brain fatty acids such as DHA.<br />
In humans, EMC2 taken by mouth is well absorbed and increases plasma levels of choline for up to ten hours. Research with animals<br />
using radio labeled EMC2 suggests EMC2 becomes incorporated into many other regulatory and structural molecules with various<br />
functions:<br />
• a methyl group source for gene-level and other metabolic control<br />
• as a precursor to acetylcholine, which is used in the brain as a neurotransmitter and the rest of the body as a messenger<br />
regulator (muscle contraction, organ function, skin tone, blood vessel volume, platelet aggregation)<br />
• for incorporation into choline phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin in every cell membrane and<br />
myelin sheath<br />
At least twenty-three clinical trials have been done with EMC2, all of them with positive outcomes:<br />
• improvements in attention, mental focus, recall, and other higher mental<br />
• functions (cognition), including in young healthy subjects,whether linked to poor brain circulation<br />
or of the Alzheimer’s type<br />
• brain recovery following stroke or other circulatory injury<br />
• revitalizes master hormone functions from pituitary control (such as growth hormone) in the elderly<br />
The typical oral doses of EMC2 used in most trials were 1200 mg per day in divided doses, in order to maintain the plasma levels at<br />
a high level throughout 24 hours.<br />
EMC2 had superior benefits when compared with other dietary cholinergic precursors such as choline and phosphatidylcholine.<br />
EMC2 outperformed the nutraceutical citicholine (cytidine diphosphocholine or CDP-choline) in three direct comparison trials.<br />
In comparison with prescription drugs, EMC2 was shown to be:<br />
• better than Oxiracetam<br />
• similar to the Donepezil and superior to Rivastigmine, both of which are acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drugs<br />
In all the trials EMC2 improved overall clinical symptoms such as:<br />
• cognition, affective symptoms, and somatic symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness<br />
• memory, attention, other cognitive measures, and mood<br />
• disorientation, irritability, emotional stability, and indifference to surroundings<br />
In a study of advanced Alzheimer’s patients, EMC2 performed roughly twice as well as acetyl-L-carnitine.<br />
The largest stroke trial used 176 hospital centers within Italy and 2,044 patients, and showed that EMC2 significantly helped more<br />
than 95 percent of the patients.<br />
EMC2 supports other neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA41, improves EEG (electroencephalographic)<br />
patterns, and reduces the delta or ‘slow waves’ which are increased during aging or accelerated cognitive deterioration.<br />

even keel 9<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY MOOD<br />
AND POSITIVE MENTAL OUTLOOK<br />
Even Keel 9 is a blend of vitamins and herbs formulated to promote a healthy mood and a positive mental outlook. The<br />
ingredients in this product help support healthy levels of serotonin and dopamine, which are key calming brain chemicals called<br />
neurotransmitters.<br />
Even Keel 9 is formulated to be effective at relatively low doses, making it convenient for individuals with demanding schedules<br />
and hectic lives, as well as those who prefer to limit the number of pills they take.<br />
FEATURES<br />
Saffron Extract – a spice used in Spanish and Middle Eastern cuisine. (It’s what gives paella its famous yellow-orange<br />
color.) Traditional Persian and Ayurvedic medicine have long used saffron as a natural mood booster, and it may also help<br />
assist with memory and sleep quality.<br />
Sceletium Extract – derived from a South African plant that has been used by indigenous peoples for centuries for<br />
relaxation, and calming thirst and hunger signals prior to long hunting trips. Modern research has proven its benefits in<br />
enhancing positive mood and cognitive function, and inducing calm without sedative effects. Combined with the other<br />
ingredients in this product, sceletium’s effects on appetite signaling may benefit individuals who use food as a coping or<br />
comforting strategy when experiencing occasional anxiety.<br />
Vitamin B12 & Folate – Individuals who experience anxiety and low moods may require higher doses of these two B vitamins<br />
than are typically obtainable from foods alone. These vitamins are essential for the body to make S-adenosylmethionine<br />
(SAMe), another important compound for maintaining a positive mental outlook. B12 is necessary for building healthy<br />
myelin, a substance that protects and insulates nerve cells (neurons) in the brain, thus supporting healthy cognitive function.<br />
Some individuals’ genetic make-up may affect reactions in the body which depend on B12 and folate. These people may<br />
benefit from supplemental amounts of these nutrients in order to keep these physiological pathways running efficiently.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule per day, or as directed<br />
by your health care practitioner.<br />
Highlights:<br />
• Easy compliance – once-a-day dosing<br />
is all that’s needed<br />
• Not habit-forming – will not induce<br />
dependency or withdrawal symptoms<br />
• Fast-acting & effective at low doses<br />
• No unpleasant side-effects<br />

Eye Alive<br />
COMPREHENSIVE OCULAR NUTRITION TO SUPPORT<br />
OPTIMAL EYE HEALTH<br />
Exposure to toxins, ultraviolet light from the sun, and free radicals can all do major damage to the eye. The simple act of letting light<br />
pass through the eye and hitting the retina increases the exposure of eye tissue to a range of different lightgenerated free radicals.<br />
For this reason, it makes sense to optimize intake of eye-nourishing nutrients, especially as we age.<br />
Eye Alive is a comprehensive formulation containing a vast array of eye-supportive nutrients, including lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry,<br />
Ginkgo biloba, curcumin, green tea, taurine, lipoic acid, vitamin A, and mixed carotenoids including beta carotene. This product<br />
does not contain synthetic carotenoids, as research shows that natural carotenoids offer a superior spectrum of benefits.<br />
Lutein<br />
Out of all the natural carotenoids in Eye Alive, lutein is the most important for<br />
the protection of the retina. Lutein, a yellow carotenoid found in foods such<br />
as corn, egg yolks, kale, spinach and broccoli, protects the retina from the free<br />
radical damage it undergoes constantly. The lutein used in Eye Alive is<br />
naturally derived from marigolds. Lutein-rich foods and supplements<br />
containing lutein can increase macular pigment density, which research<br />
shows is associated with a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration<br />
(AMD). Lutein supplementation has been shown to improve visual and retinal<br />
function in AMD patients and in healthy subjects. Some studies suggest 6 mg/<br />
day as a beneficial dose of lutein, but average dietary intake in the U.S. is only<br />
1-2 mg/day. Two capsules of Eye Alive provide 10 mg of lutein in the esterified<br />
form, which shows superior absorption.<br />
In the Lutein Antioxidant <strong>Supplement</strong>ation Trial (LAST), 90 patients with the<br />
dry form of AMD were evaluated for changes in visual functions while taking a<br />
proprietary supplement mixture. Researchers recorded actual improvement in<br />
key visual functions among patients with AMD. <strong>Patient</strong>s taking the<br />
experimental antioxidant mix experienced significant improvements in glare recovery, contrast sensitivity, and visual acuity when<br />
compared to placebo. Additionally, patients experienced a 50% increase in macular pigment density when compared to those on<br />
the placebo treatment.<br />
The study also demonstrated the reversing effects of 10 mg of lutein supplementation along with vitamin C, vitamin E, and other<br />
antioxidants on the symptoms and pathology of dry AMD. Note that Eye Alive contains the same formulation as the experimental<br />
mixture used in LAST, along with additional micronutrients and antioxidants that support eye health.<br />
Bilberry<br />
The bilberry used in Eye Alive is a standardized extract containing 36% anthocyanidins. According to research, anthocyanosides,<br />
which have antioxidant activity, also have a stabilizing effect on collagen, prevent capillary fragility, and improve microcirculation.<br />
Clinical evidence shows that bilberry helps with glaucoma, cataracts, retinopathy, diabetes mellitus, and arthritis. 2 In addition, a<br />
significant visual acuity recovery has been shown in school children with pseudomyopia, suggesting that long-term intake of<br />
bilberry extract may be useful in preventing an advancement to axial myopia and slowing the progression of various eye disorders<br />
including myopia, impaired night vision, and diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy. The therapeutic effects of bilberry are<br />
associated with the antioxidant activity of its anthocyanins, their ability to increase blood supply to the retina, and to inhibit retinic<br />
phosphodiesterases, the enzymes responsible for the decay of visual impulses.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take two capsules per day with meals, or as directed by a health care practitioner.<br />

female adapt<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR FEMALE HORMONE BALANCE<br />
Female Adapt is a comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals, and botanical extracts designed to support<br />
healthy female hormone levels, both during menstruation and through menopause. Imbalances in hormones—most<br />
commonly, excess estrogen variants and/or reduced progesterone levels—can be responsible for the physical discomfort<br />
and mood changes occasionally associated with PMS, including cramping, breast tenderness, water retention, and mild<br />
depression.<br />
Female Adapt contains a synergistic blend of nutrients designed to aid the body’s natural hormonal<br />
balance in several ways:<br />
• Chaste Tree Extract and Black Cohosh – These two herbs are widely recognized for their balancing effects on<br />
female hormones. Chaste tree extract is considered an “adaptogenic herb,” with the ability to help normalize<br />
hormone levels. Black cohosh has a long history of efficacy for reducing occasional hot flashes, vaginal dryness,<br />
night sweats, and other symptoms that can make the transition through menopause somewhat uncomfortable.<br />
• Calcium D-Glucarate – Supports the liver’s role in detoxifying and eliminating excess estrogen.<br />
• DIM (diindolylmethane) and Brassica oleracea – These vegetable extracts from the Brassica family (which<br />
includes broccoli and cabbage) help maintain safe estrogen levels by aiding the conversion of dangerous estrogen<br />
fractions to more favorable metabolites and by promoting restoration of healthy hormone ratios. DIM may also be<br />
helpful in reducing the occasional symptoms associated with a woman’s monthly cycle, such as bloating and breast<br />
tenderness due to excess estrogen buildup.<br />
• Resveratrol, and Green Tea Extract – These natural herbal extracts demonstrate powerful antioxidant and antiinflammatory<br />
properties which support the body’s natural defenses against oxidative damage and play a role in reducing the cramping that<br />
sometimes accompanies PMS.<br />
• Calcium and Magnesium – In addition to their familiar roles in bone health, these minerals are required for proper<br />
muscle contraction and relaxation. As such, a proper balance of the two can reduce occasional cramps, tension, and<br />
other physical pain sometimes associated with the monthly cycle.<br />
• Vitamins B6, B12, and Folate – Healthy cell signaling and function, including that of breast and cervical cells,<br />
depends on adequate levels of these vitamins. They are also required for proper metabolism of homocysteine,<br />
which is related to good cardiovascular heatlh.<br />
What makes Female Adapt unique?<br />
• The minerals are in forms that are easily absorbed by the body, making them highly bioavailable and effective.<br />
• This product contains a unique blend of safe, naturally occurring folates, unlike the synthetic folic acid found in most<br />
common multivitamins and folic acid supplements.<br />
• The Brassica oleracea in this product is especially rich in sulforaphane glucosinolate, the precursor to sulforaphane.<br />
This is the substance in cruciferous vegetables responsible for boosting natural antioxidant capacity and aiding liver<br />
detoxification of hormones.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
As a dietary supplement, take four capsules per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

filter Flush<br />
SUPPORT FOR THE LIVER AND GALLBLADDER<br />
This product has been designed to provide nutritional support for the liver and gallbladder. The liver is an organ that is key to<br />
optimal body performance. Its functions in the body range from detoxification and protein synthesis to aiding in digestion and<br />
metabolism. Because the liver supports almost every other organ in the body, its ability to function optimally is vital to our overall<br />
well-being.<br />
One of the key processes of the liver is the production and excretion of bile, whose function is to carry away waste and break down<br />
fat during digestion. Some of that bile is stored in the small, pear-shaped organ known as the gallbladder, where it is available in<br />
larger quantities when it is needed for the digestive process. Besides being a storage tank for bile, the gall bladder also helps to<br />
maintain healthy bile flow and works to support the efficiency of bile. The proprietary blend of substances in this formula include<br />
L-taurine, beta-carotene, ox bile, inositol and choline, a combination which aids the liver in its elimination of fatty substances and<br />
promotes bile flow.<br />
Other active ingredients include vitamins B12 and B6, and an herbal mixture consisting of milk thistle, fringe tree, artichoke, and<br />
beetroot; all of which support the liver’s detoxification process and promote bile flow. Milk thistle is a well-researched herb shown<br />
to foster regeneration of liver cells and aid in the flow of bile to promote healthy gall bladder function. Fringe tree and artichoke<br />
strengthen the bile ducts and the gut. Beetroot is an excellent source of betaine, which supports optimal digestion of essential fats<br />
and fat-soluble vitamins.<br />
THIS PRODUCT MAY BENEFIT<br />
HOW TO TAKE<br />
• Individuals without a gallbladder<br />
• Anyone wishing to support liver or gallbladder function<br />
• Individuals who want support for fat digestion<br />
• People who suffer from occasional bloating, gas or GI distress<br />
• Individuals in need of detoxification support<br />
• Take three capsules per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />
• Do not take this product if experiencing acute upper abdominal pain or if you have a bile duct obstruction.<br />

Fluid Balance<br />
PROMOTES HEALTHY WATER BALANCE<br />
Fluid Balance combines 700 mg of the amino acid taurine with 50 mg of vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL), which work<br />
together to promote healthy water balance, blood pressure, and cardiovascular health. Taurine is naturally<br />
produced in the body, and is also found in certain foods. The body’s production of taurine is dependent upon<br />
the sufficient availability of vitamin B6.<br />
Taurine is involved in many physiological processes of the body, and it is vital for the normal functioning of<br />
the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. It can be particularly effective in maintaining an ideal sodium/potassium<br />
balance within the cells, which helps to alleviate the occasional “bloated” feeling.<br />
<strong>Supplement</strong>ation of taurine can be helpful in many circumstances. Vegetarians or people who do not regularly<br />
consume eggs, meat or seafood may not be getting enough taurine through their diet. As we age, our bodies<br />
may not produce sufficient amounts of this amino acid, and stress or intense exercise can also deplete taurine<br />
levels. Vitamin B6 is included in this product to support the body’s utilization of taurine.<br />
Benefits<br />
• Water balance – Taurine and vitamin B6 work synergistically to help maintain equilibrium of water in the<br />
body by encouraging normal flow of electrolytes (such as potassium, calcium and sodium) in and out of<br />
cells. This formula is a safe diuretic for occasional water retention.<br />
• Healthy blood pressure – Studies suggest taurine may help contribute to the maintenance of optimal<br />
blood pressure levels.<br />
• Cardiovascular support – This formula may promote cardiovascular wellness through several mechanisms,<br />
including supporting healthy blood lipids and blood pressure.<br />
• Antioxidant effects – Taurine is a known antioxidant and can protect against oxidative stress –the<br />
production of free radicals that can be harmful to cells.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

GLA Supreme<br />
COMPREHENSIVE FORMULATION OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS<br />
GLA Supreme is composed of a unique blend of omega 3-6-7-9 essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs may very well be the single most<br />
important dietary supplement for promoting optimal health, as they support heart health, normal cholesterol and triglyceride<br />
levels, immune system function, brain health, joint mobility, beautiful skin and hair, and a healthy modulation of the<br />
inflammatory response.<br />
The omega-3 fatty acids in this product are derived from fish oils in their natural triglyceride (TG) form —the same way they<br />
naturally occur in fish. Most mass-marketed fish oil supplements come in the ethyl ester (EE) form. Compared to the TG form, the<br />
EE form is less expensive and more convenient to produce, but is not as readily recognized, digested and assimilated by the body.<br />
In order to receive the maximum benefits from omega-3 fish oil supplementation, it is critical that these fats are provided to the<br />
body in the same form that they are found naturally in fish. It is only when consumed in this natural TG form that they are most<br />
easily digested and available for the body to use. This TG advantage is especially effective at promoting healthy omega-3 levels in<br />
the body.<br />
This omega 3-6-7-9 formulation consists of:<br />
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids<br />
- Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) –beneficial for supporting a healthy brain, balanced emotions, skin health, normal<br />
cholesterol levels, and a proper inflammatory response<br />
- Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) – supports proper brain development and function, visual acuity, maintenance of<br />
normal triglyceride levels and blood pressure, eye development and a healthy pregnancy for expectant mothers<br />
• Omega-6 Fatty Acids<br />
- Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) from the oil of borage seeds – essential for smooth and healthy skin, and female<br />
hormonal balance<br />
• Omega-7 and Omega-9 Fatty Acids<br />
- Stearidonic Acid and Oleic Acid from organic virgin macadamia nut oil – these oils are touted for their ability to<br />
support healthy hair, skin and nails, as well as a healthy immune system and balanced blood sugar levels<br />
Additional Highlights<br />
• Lipase – enzyme for enhanced digestion and absorption of fish oils<br />
• Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) – to prevent the fish oils from going rancid<br />
• Fish oils are molecularly distilled and filtered to ensure purity and to maximize the removal of metals, pesticides,<br />
PCBs and other contaminants<br />

• Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) has been shown in a variety of published clinical trials to help optimize testosterone<br />
levels, which is crucial for supporting sexual desire and fertility (including sperm concentration and motility). Tongkat ali’s influence<br />
on healthy male hormones also supports improved moods and energy levels.<br />
• Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) supports sexual desire and performance by helping the body maintain optimal levels of<br />
testosterone, DHT, and DHEA.<br />
• Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium sagittatum) has traditionally been used to promote erectile function through its<br />
hormone-regulating properties.<br />
• DIM (Diindolylmethane) and Chrysin are compounds that inhibit the activity of the aromatase enzyme, which converts<br />
testosterone into estrogen. Inhibition of aromatase helps maintain a proper balance of testosterone to estrogen, which is<br />
important for promoting sexual desire and performance in men.<br />
• Ginkgo Biloba promotes normal blood flow for healthy sexual function and performance.<br />
• Boron may be helpful for increasing the conversion of total testosterone to free testosterone and decreasing estradiol<br />
levels. Elevation of free testosterone may be particularly beneficial for older men, in whom a higher percentage of<br />
testosterone is bound to a sex hormone binding protein, which makes it less available in the body.<br />
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

GT 5000<br />
FOR SUPPORTING HEALTHY METABOLISM OF HORMONES,<br />
NORMAL BLOOD FLOW AND DESIRE.<br />
This blend of nutraceutical and herbal ingredients is designed to promote healthy female sexual desire and pleasure. While many<br />
factors can contribute to decreased libido, this product aims to help optimize hormone balance, blood flow, and adrenal function.<br />
Ingredients in this formula provide subtle and safe support to the body’s natural ability to regulate and balance the hormones<br />
estrogen, progesterone and even testosterone. While testosterone is usually referred to as the male sex hormone, it also plays a role<br />
in the female body, having a positive influence on sexual desire and potentially helping to manage an occasionally low sex drive.<br />
All herbs used in this formula have been standardized to ensure quality and a consistent amount of their beneficial chemical<br />
compounds.<br />
Highlights<br />
• Damiana (Turnera diffusa) acts as an ‘aromatase inhibitor,’ meaning it promotes a balance of testosterone<br />
to estrogen that may be helpful in supporting sexual desire.<br />
• Tribulis (Tribulus terrestris) may help with healthy female libido by supporting the natural production of androgens.<br />
• DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a naturally occurring compound in the body which converts into<br />
hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.<br />
• DIM (Diindolylmethane), a nutrient naturally present in some foods; it may be useful because of its<br />
potential to encourage optimal conversion of estrogen to a more favorable balance of estrogen fractions.<br />
• Phosphatidylcholine can help promote hormone balance by enabling the liver to convert estradiol -the<br />
stronger form of estrogen, to estriol -a less potent form of estrogen.<br />
• Chinese Ginseng, Horny Goat Weed and Ginkgo Biloba are herbs that support blood flow and adrenal<br />
health, which are also important factors in positively influencing sexual desire.<br />
Recommended Use: Take two capsules per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />
Women with hirsutism or PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) should not use this product without permission from their health care<br />
practitioner.<br />

Gut Gold<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY GI FUNCTION<br />
Gut Gold contains a blend of ingredients that offer comprehensive support for optimum gastrointestinal (GI) health<br />
and function. Gastrointestinal, or ‘gut’ health, is very important to a person’s overall health and well-being. Although the<br />
process of digestion begins in the mouth, it is within the gut where the absorption of nutrients must take place. The lining<br />
of the gut must have proper permeability and integrity so that it can absorb nutrients and prevent toxins, allergens and<br />
microbes from gaining access to the bloodstream. Therefore, it is critical to our overall health to support the health of the<br />
intestinal mucosa.<br />
Highlights<br />
L-Glutamine – one of the most commonly used amino acids in the<br />
body for supporting the health of tissues -particularly the tissues<br />
within the gut. It is essential for maintaining proper intestinal<br />
permeability and the healthy functioning of the lining of the intestines.<br />
MSM – sulfur-containing compound that supports a healthy<br />
inflammatory response as well as the structure, integrity and<br />
permeability of cell walls<br />
Benefits<br />
• Rejuvenates intestinal mucosal health<br />
• Promotes proper intestinal function<br />
• Supports a healthy inflammatory response<br />
• Promotes regularity and healthy bowel function<br />
N-Acetyl Glucosamine – compound that aids in the production of<br />
health-supportive structures for the cells in the intestinal lining<br />
DGL, Slippery Elm, Marshmallow, Chamomile, Okra Extract and Cat’s Claw – herbs which provide comprehensive<br />
enhancement of gut function by coating and soothing the intestinal lining; they also help relax the intestines, which aids<br />
in alleviating occasional cramping<br />
Gut Gold Capsules<br />
Aloe Vera – promotes the growth of a variety of ‘good’ bacteria in the gut. Fostering the growth of this ‘good’ bacteria also<br />
helps promote overall health.<br />
Quercetin – highly concentrated bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits, red wine, and tea which supports a healthy inflammatory<br />
response by stabilizing intestinal cells and can also improve overall tissue health<br />
Mucin – classified as a glycoprotein -a protein with a carbohydrate group attached to it; mucin is normally secreted by the<br />
intestinal cells and can foster overall integrity of the gut<br />
Prune Powder and Citrus Pectin – aid in bowel regularity<br />
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take seven capsules per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Happy Zzz’s<br />
SUPPORTS CALMNESS<br />
Happy Zzz’s is an all-natural herbal blend of Magnolia officinalis and Ziziphus spinosa formulated to support restful sleep. To achieve<br />
maximum effectiveness, this non-addictive formula should be taken for a minimum of seven nights in a row and may be taken<br />
indefinitely.<br />
Human Studies A Home Use Test (HUT) performed in 2005 among a target group of 61 men and women using Happy Zzz’s for two<br />
weeksyielded very positive results. Seventy-four percent of respondents used the product according to the directions: Take seven or<br />
more capsules during the two-week test period. Of these respondents,<br />
» 83% said Happy Zzz’s helped them relax*<br />
» 91% said Happy Zzz’s helped reduce fatigue due to lack of sleep*<br />
» 91% said Happy Zzz’s helped ensure a good night’s sleep*<br />
» 82% said Happy Zzz’s is an essential item to have on hand*<br />
An open-label, single-center, observational survey that included 295 people (ages <strong>18</strong>-87) with sleep difficulties was performed to<br />
obtain asubjective evaluation of the tolerability and effectiveness of Happy Zzz’s. Self-reported sleep difficulties included problems<br />
falling asleep, multiple wakings, and next-day tiredness due to a lack of sleep. <strong>Patient</strong>s taking at least one 365 mg capsule of Happy<br />
Zzz’s one hour before going to bed every night for at least two weeks experienced the following:<br />
» 86% considered Happy Zzz’s relaxing*<br />
» 82.8% said Happy Zzz’s assisted in a restful sleep*<br />
» 82.8% said Happy Zzz’s was effective in reducing fatigue due tolack of sleep*<br />
» No significant adverse events<br />
Happy Zzz’s is a blend of a patented extract of Magnolia officinalis bark and a proprietary extract of<br />
Ziziphusspinosa seed. These herbs have been traditionally used in Asia for qì stagnation, for mild anxiety and nervousness, and to<br />
support normal, uninterrupted sleep.<br />
Magnolia officinalis Magnolia bark is rich in a biphenol compound called honokiol and its isomer magnolol. In experimental<br />
animalstudies, these compounds have been shown to enhance the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptors and<br />
GABA binding, which may help the body cope with the neurologic effects emotions can have on behavior and well-being. Honokiol,<br />
administered byintraperitoneal injection in mice, was shown to promote NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep by modulating the<br />
benzodiazepine site ofthe GABA (A) receptor. And, in an experimental animal model of chronic mild stress, a mixture of honokiol<br />
and magnolol supported normallevels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in<br />
various brain regions. The combination alsopromoted healthy corticosterone levels and platelet adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity.<br />
Researchers suggest that these findings provide a basisfor further study into the influence of magnolol and honokiol on the<br />
serotonergic system, the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, and the AC-cAMP pathway in relation to mood and emotional<br />
behavior.<br />
Ziziphus spinosa A primary use of Z spinosa seeds in Traditional Chinese Medicine is to support calmness and help individuals<br />
withoccasional sleeplessness. In an experimental animal model, saponins and flavonoids extracted from the seeds showed a<br />
significantrelaxing effect and helped prolong sleeping time. To investigate potential mechanisms, researchers tested the influence<br />
of spinosin—aflavonoid derived from ziziphus seeds—on pentobarbital-induced sleep in mice. They concluded that it potentiated<br />
sleep via a serotonergicmechanism.<br />
Koetter et al studied the interactions of magnolia and ziziphus extracts with selected central nervous system receptors in a series of<br />
assays. Interactions with the adenosine A1 receptor, dopamine transporter and dopamine D5 receptor (antagonist activity),<br />
serotoninreceptors (5-HT1B and 5-HT6 antagonist activity), and the GABA benzodiazepine receptor were demonstrated. It is<br />
suggested that thesefindings provide some insight into the combined activity of these extracts.<br />
Recommend Use: Take one to two capsules before bedtime, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.<br />

Haven't Aged<br />
PROVIDES INTRACELLULAR ANTIOXIDANT SUPPORT<br />
Haven’t Aged is an acetylated form of glutathione. This form is well-absorbed and more stable throughout the digestive tract than<br />
other forms on the market. Use of stomach acid-resistant capsules (DRcaps) further protect stability. Laboratory data showed that<br />
Haven’t Aged increased intracellular glutathione and had a positive effect on many oxidative stress biomarkers.<br />
Reduced glutathione, commonly known as glutathione or GSH, is a tripeptide consisting of L-glutamine, L-cysteine, and<br />
glycine. It is ubiquitous in living systems. Glutathione biosynthesis can be affected by biochemical individuality and/or dietary<br />
factors. Chronic oxidative stress can also deplete cellular glutathione. Precursors to glutathione, such as whey protein,<br />
vitamin C, and glutamine, are often recommended to boost glutathione levels in the body; however, results are inconsistent.<br />
Biological individuality is such that not every body has equivalent ability to metabolize the precursor to raise glutathione.<br />
Why Not Give Pure Glutathione? Unfortunately, most oral forms of glutathione are foul smelling, but more importantly,<br />
the majority of an oral dose is oxidized before it can be absorbed and used by the cells. This formulation delivers a unique<br />
preparation of glutathione that overcomes these usual limitations. The stability of S-acetylglutathione through the intestinal<br />
wall and the plasma is well documented in the literature. Oral intake of S-acetylglutathione increases total glutathione and<br />
percent-reduced glutathione. Percent-reduced glutathione is a very significant biomarker of health status.<br />
Mechanism of Absorption S-acetylglutathione, a lipid-like compound, is taken up intact by chylomicrons in the gut. The<br />
acetyl bond is placed on its thiol group or sulfur group, which prevents oxidation and allows the molecule to pass diffusively<br />
into the cell after absorption in the gut. The bond is then cleaved by non-specific enzymes inside the cell. Acetylation<br />
prevents the breakdown of glutathione, and S-acetylglutathione does not require energy expenditure to be cleaved to<br />
reduced glutathione once it crosses the cell wall.<br />
Antioxidant Activity Glutathione functions extensively in tissues and organs throughout the body. It plays critical roles in<br />
protecting the body from oxidative stress, maintaining cellular functions, and supporting healthy immune function. Many<br />
factors can increase cellular exposure to oxidative insult, and therefore increase cellular consumption of nutrients—such<br />
as glutathione—that provide antioxidant activity. This may result in a fierce cycle of oxidative stress and challenges to<br />
detoxification. Complete biotransformation and protection from oxidative stress are important to maintaining cellular integrity<br />
and tissue health.*<br />
Other Benefits of Maintaining Healthy Glutathione Levels Much information related to mitochondrial health has surfaced<br />
in the literature. Mitochondria, the energy-producing powerhouses of cells, are also the primary intracellular site of oxygen<br />
consumption and the major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). S-acetylglutathione has been shown to cross the<br />
membrane of the mitochondria, increasing the organelle’s activity and minimizing ROS. Reduction of ROS is associated<br />
with maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function, and improved mitochondrial health is believed to support overall health<br />
and energy.<br />
S-acetylglutathione has also been shown to decrease TNF-alpha, NF-kappa beta, and F-2 isoprostane. Additionally,<br />
there is mounting evidence that intracellular glutathione levels in antigen-presenting cells (e.g. macrophages) may influence<br />
the Th1/Th2 cytokine response pattern and promote a balanced immune reaction.<br />
Recommended Use: Take one to two capsules one to two times daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.<br />

HCL Balance<br />
BETAINE HCL + PEPSIN<br />
HCL Balance provides 750 mg betaine hydrochloride along with pepsin, one of the body’s key protein digestive enzymes.<br />
This product is ideal for individuals with low stomach acid who are looking to support their digestive function. The<br />
formulation is in capsule form to ensure delivery of HCL Balance and pepsin to the stomach where they are needed to<br />
initiate digestion.<br />
HCL Balance is an excellent source of hydrochloric acid,<br />
which is produced by the parietal cells of the stomach.<br />
Hydrochloric acid is required for:<br />
• The breakdown of protein for further digestion in the small<br />
intestine; it is necessary for the conversion of pepsinogen,<br />
the inactive enzyme secreted by the gastric glands, into pepsin.<br />
• The proper absorption of nutrients, including vitamin B12<br />
and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and<br />
selenium.<br />
• A healthy immune system, as the acid provides a protective<br />
barrier against bacterial and yeast overgrowth.<br />
Hypochlorhydria<br />
Hypochlorhydria, the insufficient production of hydrochloric<br />
acid, is a fairly widespread issue and one that is often overlooked. With<br />
hypochlorhydria, inappropriately large proteins and pathogens can aggravate the<br />
GI tract and may lead to immune over-activation, as well as inflammation in the<br />
body from resulting bacterial overgrowth, increased intestinal permeability, and<br />
from potential food sensitivities that may arise.<br />
Due to these issues, the underproduction of stomach acid is associated with a<br />
variety of chronic conditions, such as iron deficiency anemia, food sensitivities,<br />
rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis,<br />
gallstones, asthma, and certain skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.<br />
Stomach acid production also decreases with the normal aging process.<br />
Symptoms of low stomach acid include:<br />
• Bloating and gas, particularly after eating<br />
• Feeling full after eating only a small quantity of food<br />
• Indigestion/heartburn<br />
• Reflux<br />
• Food allergies<br />
• Bowel irregularities such as diarrhea and constipation<br />
Benefits of HCL Balance may include:<br />
• Digestive support for individuals with low<br />
stomach acid<br />
• Potential decrease in certain food sensitivities<br />
through improved digestion of proteins<br />
• Protection against orally ingested pathogens and<br />
overgrowth of opportunistic GI microbes<br />
• Assisting with the digestion and assimilation of<br />
nutritional supplements, including protein powders<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
• Taking one capsule before a meal aids digestion, especially the digestion of protein-containing foods,<br />
and helps with the assimilation of nutrients.<br />
• This product is not recommended for anyone diagnosed with ulcers, gastritis, duodenitis, gastric cancer<br />
or those with an overproduction of acid.<br />

High Volt provides a mega dose of B-Vitamins in one ounce plus Siberian Ginseng and Potassium. The number one health<br />
complaint in America is lack of energy. B-Complex vitamins provide a natural energy boost without stimulants. Recent studies have<br />
also suggested that B-vitamins are vital for the nervous system by helping the body rebound and deal with stress more efficiently,<br />
and in energy production by assisting in the conversion of food to energy. B-vitamins also contribute to mental health, acting as a<br />
natural antidepressant.<br />
Ginseng:<br />
This powerful addition to the High Volt Energy Boost nutritional supplement boosts memory and brain function, has anti-diabetic<br />
properties, has anti-cancer properties, and has been found to stimulate the immune system to help your body fight off infection<br />
and disease.<br />
Aloe Vera:<br />
The addition of aloe vera juice contains polysaccharides, which are an important component of a healthy immune system, because<br />
they stimulate your white blood cells to fight off viruses. ... And since aloe vera is a good source of vitamin C, drinking it helps<br />
protect your body from infection and aids in the healing of existing ailments.<br />
B Vitamins often referred to as B-complex vitamins, also help the body metabolize fats and protein. All B vitamins help the body<br />
convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which the body uses to produce energy.<br />
Vitamin B1, also called thiamine or thiamin, is one of 8 B vitamins.<br />
Vitamin B2, Riboflavin is used for preventing low levels of riboflavin (riboflavin deficiency), cervical cancer, and migraine<br />
headaches. It is also used for treating riboflavin deficiency, acne, muscle cramps, burning feet syndrome, carpal tunnel<br />
syndrome, and blood disorders such as congenital methemoglobinemia and red blood cell aplasia. Some people use ribo<br />
flavin for eye conditions including eye fatigue, cataracts, and glaucoma.<br />
Vitamin B33, Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is an essential nutrient for the body.<br />
Vitamin B3 helps with organ function, heart health, and DNA repair.<br />
Vitamin B5 Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B₅, is a water-soluble vitamin. Pantothenic acid is an essential nutrient.<br />
Animals require pantothenic acid to synthesize coenzyme-A, as well as to synthesize and metabolize proteins,<br />
carbohydrates, and fats.<br />
Vitamin B6, Pyridoxine is used for preventing and treating low levels of pyridoxine (pyridoxine deficiency) and the “tired<br />
blood” (anemia) that may result.<br />
Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that has a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and<br />
nervous system via the synthesis of Myelin (Myelinogenesis)[1][2], and the formation of red blood cells.<br />
Why take supplements in liquid form?<br />
The answer is simple. Liquid <strong>Supplement</strong>s have an absorption rate that is up to 10 times higher than a pill form. Your body simply<br />
has a harder time digesting pills. Pills also contains unwanted ingredients added in order to bind the pill together. Fillers and<br />
binding agents used in forming a pill can actually hinder the absorption rate. This greater bioavailability translates into two things:<br />
you get more of the nutrient you need so you benefit more...and you may also find that you benefit faster.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
Suggested daily serving: 1 ounce per day<br />

Iodine up<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR THYROID FUNCTION<br />
Iodine Up combines the two minerals iodine and selenium, in order to support healthy thyroid function. Iodine<br />
supports the balanced production of thyroid hormones, as well as the health of breast and prostate tissue. Selenium<br />
works together with iodine to support the normal conversion of thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) into triiodothyronine<br />
(T3), and supplies antioxidant protection to the thyroid gland.<br />
Thyroid Gland<br />
The thyroid gland (which is located in the front of the neck) requires iodine for the<br />
production of the thyroid hormones T4 and T3. These hormones stimulate vital<br />
processes in every part of the body, and have a major impact on growth, the use<br />
of energy and oxygen, heat production, the regulation of metabolism, fertility,<br />
immune regulation in the intestine, and the use of vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates,<br />
fats, electrolytes and water.<br />
Iodine Up Supports:<br />
• Thyroid gland<br />
• Breast tissue<br />
• Prostate tissue<br />
Along with iodine, the conversion of the thyroid hormone T4 into T3 requires an enzyme that is dependent on the<br />
mineral selenium. Taking high doses of iodine long-term increases the need for selenium, which is why Iodine Up<br />
includes both of these minerals in this formula.<br />
Iodine Deficiency<br />
Over the years, many health professionals have recommended the restriction of sodium from the diet in an attempt to<br />
reduce hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This restriction has led to a decline in iodine intake, since most salt on<br />
the market is “iodized salt,” which is salt with added iodine. In addition, there are various brands of salt available today<br />
that are not enriched with iodine, which can also lead to an iodine deficiency.<br />
Good sources of dietary iodine include iodized salt, seafood, kelp, seaweed, asparagus, spinach and Swiss chard.<br />
However, the body does not store iodine for long periods of time, so regular intake through diet, as well as additional<br />
supplementation, is important.<br />
Breast and Prostate<br />
Breast tissue, like the thyroid gland, has a high concentration of iodine. Iodine Up helps stimulate the production<br />
of enzymes in the breast tissue, as enzymes found in breast tissue reacting with iodine have been shown to exert<br />
powerful antioxidant protection. Iodine has a similar effect on prostate health as well.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Joint Freedom is a medical food, not a drug. A medical food is an FDA regulated category of products intended for the dietary<br />
management of a disease or condition that has distinct nutritional requirements. Unlike drugs, the ingredients in medical foods<br />
must be Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). Typically, medical foods are not associated with the negative side effects that<br />
are commonly seen with prescription or over-the-counter drugs.<br />
The problem with most arthritis drugs<br />
The most commonly prescribed arthritis medications are non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs include a range of<br />
medications such as overthe- counter aspirin, ibuprofen and prescription drugs such as naproxen and celocoxib. While these<br />
medications are effective for reduction of pain and inflammation, they are associated with a variety of serious side effects.<br />
Side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs:<br />
• GI complaints such as nausea, heartburn, indigestion, abdominal pain<br />
• Bleeding ulcer<br />
— The risk of upper GI bleeding is 3 to 4 times higher in people taking NSAIDs than those who do not<br />
• Kidney damage that may persist even after drug withdrawal in some cases<br />
• Cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, etc.)<br />
• Congestive heart failure (CHF)<br />
— NSAIDs were responsible for approximately 19% of hospital admissions with CHF<br />
• Hospitalization<br />
— Approximately 107,000 patients are hospitalized annually for NSAID-related GI complications<br />

Kidney Confidence<br />
IMPROVE RENAL FUNCTION AND REDUCE KIDNEY DAMAGE<br />
Kidney Confidence is a comprehensive kidney support formula<br />
whose ingredients have been shown to improve kidney function<br />
and markers of kidney damage, and decrease tissue damage<br />
due to various pathological processes. The three primary causes<br />
of kidney damage and end-stage kidney disease are diabetic<br />
nephropathy, hypertension and glomerulonephritis.<br />
Kidney damage, which is a common downstream effect of<br />
diabetes, arises from chronically high blood sugar and the<br />
formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Glycation is a chemical reaction that takes place between amino acids and a<br />
reducing sugar, and induces the formation of irreversible cross-links in structural proteins, causing damage to the very small blood<br />
vessels in the kidneys’ filtration area, called the glomeruli. A vicious cycle is initiated in which a decrease in renal function and<br />
reduced clearance increases plasma AGE concentrations. This sets the stage for increased AGE formation, with harmful<br />
consequences for the kidneys’ overall survival. Glomerulosclerosis is a type of kidney damage caused by scarring of these small,<br />
delicate blood vessels, which can leave the kidneys unable to filter waste effectively, ultimately leading to kidney failure.<br />
High blood pressure, which affects up to 60% of those with diabetes, is another common cause of kidney damage and eventual<br />
kidney failure. It can further exacerbate kidney damage by adding to the stress on the glomeruli.<br />
Glomerulonephritis is a renal condition characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli. Causes are varied and can range from<br />
infectious states to systemic disorders, drug toxicity and diabetes. Once inflamed, the glomeruli become leaky and unable filter<br />
waste properly, which allows protein and blood to pass into the urine.<br />
Highlights<br />
Champignon is an extract of the Agaricus bisporus mushroom, also known as the white or button mushroom. In human studies,<br />
champignon was shown to increase creatinine clearance and arrest the progression of renal failure. 1<br />
Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Cordyceps has been<br />
shown to improve lab markers of renal dysfunction, including reducing BUN and creatinine levels, while improving kidney function<br />
in human test subjects. Cordyceps also decreased mortality in animal models of chronic kidney failure and appears to be protective<br />
of the kidneys as it decreases renal necrotic tissue and reduces the expression of immunoglobulin proteins ICAM-1 and VCAM-1,<br />
indicating anti-inflammatory properties. 2-5<br />
Poria cocos, also known in Chinese as fu ling, is another fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine. In animal models of<br />
anti-glomerular basement membrane nephritis, a rare autoimmune disorder of the kidneys, the fungus was found to prevent<br />
urinary protein secretion and reduce the degree of histopathological changes associated with renal tissue damage in the test<br />
animals. 6<br />
Panax quinquefolius, better known as American ginseng (AG), is protective of kidney physiology and function in diabetic<br />
nephropathy. Administration of AG increased creatinine clearance and decreased elevated urinary protein levels in a rat model of<br />
this condition. Additionally, high serum glucose and AGE concentrations in the diabetic rats decreased after treatment with AG,<br />
which suggests that not only does AG facilitate improved kidney function, but by contributing to lower blood glucose and AGE<br />
formation, it may also help to prevent or reduce structural damage to the kidneys from occurring in the first place. 7 Studies in<br />
humans indicate that AG taken before or during a glucose challenge significantly reduces the area under the curve for blood<br />
glucose, which may help moderate the downstream effects of chronically elevated blood sugar. 8 Ginseng is safe and well-tolerated<br />
at relatively high doses. In type 2 diabetics, compared to placebo, twelve weeks of AG supplementation at 3g/day (1000mg/meal)<br />
resulted in no adverse changes to measures of safety—such as hemostatic function and the liver enzymes AST and ALT. 9 With<br />
hypertension being a major contributing factor in damaging the delicate blood vessels in the kidneys, it is noteworthy that,<br />
compared to placebo, AG (3g/day) led to significant reductions in arterial stiffness and systolic blood pressure in hypertensive type<br />
2 diabetics. 10<br />

renal function and reduce kidney damage due to:<br />
• Diabetes<br />
• Hypertension<br />
• Glomerulonephritis<br />
• Nephropathy caused by medications and other<br />
nephrotoxic substances<br />
Astragalus root has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years for various renal disorders, including<br />
glomerulonephritis and nephropathy. Astragalus has repeatedly been shown to help protect the kidney and retard the progression<br />
of renal fibrosis. It also helps improve markers of kidney function caused by various renal conditions through its anti-inflammatory<br />
effects by down-regulating the expression of two pro-inflammatory cytokines, NF-kappaB and MCP-1. 11 In human patients, a<br />
stragalus lowered various markers of decreased kidney function, including BUN, creatinine and serum albumin. 12 Astragalus also<br />
demonstrated the ability to reduce fasting blood glucose levels and albuminuria in animal models of diabetic nephropathy. 13,14<br />

K.U. t4<br />
DAIRY-FREE PREBIOTIC/PROBIOTIC COMBINATION FORMULA<br />
K.U.T4 is a specialized formulation combining four types of phages and prebiotics along with seven strains of probiotics. This<br />
product is designed to support the proliferation of beneficial bacteria throughout the small and large intestines in order to promote<br />
healthy function of the gastrointestinal (GI) and immune systems. This formula may be particularly beneficial for individuals with<br />
sensitivities to dairy, who cannot consume common food sources of probiotics (such as yogurt and kefir), and who must also avoid<br />
probiotic supplements made from dairy sources.<br />
What is a Bacteriophage?<br />
Bacteriophages, or simply phages – whose name means to eat or devour in Greek – are benevolent viruses that exclusively infect<br />
bacteria. Phages are the most abundant naturally occurring organisms on earth. We are surrounded by phages, as they can be<br />
found virtually everywhere, including in soil, food, drinking water, and the human body, which contains billions of them. Phages<br />
prey only on bacteria, never human cells, and they are an effective way to help reduce the density of specific undesirable bacterial<br />
populations, while promoting the growth of beneficial strains.<br />
Bacteriophages as Prebiotics<br />
Highly specific bacteriophages are considered prebiotics since they enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria in the GI tract.<br />
Beneficial GI bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus and others, are in a constant battle for food and space. Inhibition of the<br />
growth of neutral or unwanted bacteria allows beneficial organisms more space and resources to thrive.<br />
Advantages of our Proprietary Blend of Prebiotics over Traditional Prebiotics<br />
Most other prebiotics are non-digestible fibers (such as inulin) that often produce the negative side effects of gas and bloating.<br />
They may be required in large doses and for prolonged periods, and may not be effective in the small bowel since their activity is<br />
localized to the large intestine. In some people they may also increase the growth of unwanted bacteria in the GI tract. In contrast,<br />
the prebiotics in this product do not get fermented and therefore produce no gas or bloating, are effective in smaller doses, and are<br />
active in both the small and large intestines.<br />
When it comes to pre- and probiotics, it’s all about survival. Probiophage DF is featured in a delayed-release capsule to increase<br />
intact delivery to the small intestine by protecting these organisms from being neutralized by stomach acid.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

L- Glutamine Dream<br />
SUPER NUTRIENT FOR DIGESTIVE HEALTH AND IMMUNE SUPPORT<br />
L-Glutamine Dream Dream is an amino acid with a vast array of functions and health benefits, which are derived from its ability to<br />
feed various cells in the body. Glutamine is essential to the health of the immune system and the digestive tract. In the gut it<br />
promotes the health and proper functioning of mucosal cells, which are necessary for normal healing and repair. Glutamine<br />
also supports optimal muscle growth and strength and has been shown to be particularly useful in helping to maintain<br />
muscle tissue.<br />
How does it work?<br />
Glutamine, like all amino acids, contains nitrogen, which is needed<br />
by many cells throughout the body – including immune, gut<br />
and muscle cells. Nitrogen is also a building block for proteins,<br />
antioxidants, neurotransmitters and DNA. Glutamine has a unique<br />
Robin Hood-like nature: it distributes nitrogen freely to the cells<br />
which need it most, giving your body powerful and wide-ranging<br />
health effects.<br />
Benefits of Glutamine<br />
Gut Repair – By fueling the mucosal cells of the intestine, glutamine<br />
strengthens the integrity of the intestinal wall in order to support a<br />
healthy gastrointestinal tract.<br />
L-Glutamine Dream helps to:<br />
• Support gastrointestinal health<br />
• Protect the body from occasional stress<br />
• Support natural immunity<br />
• Aid in muscle growth and strength<br />
• Promote healthy blood sugar levels<br />
• Regulate the appetite<br />
• Promote skin health and integrity<br />
Immune Support – Provides a major energy source for the immune system and its varied cells. Illnesses, infections, and<br />
chronic stress can deplete the body of these important cells, making glutamine an excellent nutrient for immune support.<br />
Skin Integrity – As a basic building block of protein and tissue, glutamine supports the integrity of the skin, especially during<br />
occasional periods of physical stress or injury.<br />
Maintenance of Muscle Tissue – Helps reduce muscle soreness by enhancing muscle recovery during sports events or<br />
exercise. If a person is unable to consume a regular meal, glutamine will instantly provide the nitrogen that is normally<br />
obtained through a meal and which is required to build and maintain normal muscle.<br />
Antioxidant – Increases production of glutathione, the body’s main antioxidant. This in turn supports a healthy immune<br />
response, protects tissues from oxidative damage, and helps detoxify harmful substances.<br />
Brain Support – As an important precursor for the production of neurotransmitter substances in the brain, glutamine helps<br />
to support brain wellness and mental energy.<br />
Blood Sugar Support – Helps to support healthy insulin levels and stimulate glycogen (a stored form of glucose) to help<br />
support normal blood sugar. Additionally, as glutamine supports adequate neurotransmitter levels, it will also help healthy<br />
appetite regulation signaled by brain messages.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
Capsules: Take one capsule per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />
Powder: Take 3 grams (approx. ¾ teaspoon) per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Liquid Dynamic Duo<br />
CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM<br />
Liquid Calcium has long been known as vital for strong bones. Our Calcium contains the vital nutrients that the body needs to<br />
properly assimilate calcium plus a blend of the best forms of calcium. Calcium is a difficult supplement for many people. Tablets<br />
are often weak, poor forms (such as carbonate), or don’t provide the necessary supporting minerals. Our Calcium contains the vital<br />
nutrients that the body needs to properly assimilate calcium plus a blend of the best forms of calcium. We’re now finding that<br />
deficiencies in basic minerals like calcium and magnesium can contribute to many unhealthy conditions in our society. You<br />
can help replenish the minerals your body needs by adding Liquid Calcium to your diet. It ‘s a balanced nutritional supplement<br />
made with calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and manganese to support bone health.<br />
Our Product Advantage Though many foods contain important minerals,they’re not always readily usable by the body. That’s why<br />
we offer a calcium-magnesium supply in a liquid base, combined with the proper constituents for easy absorption and assimilation.<br />
Your body can get the most out of the minerals you get in Liquid Calcium.<br />
Calcium<br />
If taken in proper form and in adequate amounts, calcium can increase bone mineral density especially during growth. It can also be<br />
a great contributor to bone health and strength in the elderly.<br />
Magnesium increases bone mineralization and may help support healthy bones throughout the aging process.<br />
Vitamin D is necessary for optimal intestinal calcium absorption.<br />
Vitamin C supports healthy immune function, among extensive health benefits.<br />
Boron in recent studies, have come to the conclusion that boron can be an effective addition in the treatment of osteoporosis, and<br />
that it promotes healthy bone metabolism, including efficient use of calcium and magnesium and proper function of the endocrine<br />

Why take supplements in Liquid Form?<br />
The answer is simple. Liquid <strong>Supplement</strong>s have an absorption rate that is up to 10 times higher than a pill form. Your body simply<br />
has a harder time digesting pills. Pills also contain unwanted ingredients added in order to bind the pill together. Fillers and binding<br />
agents used in forming a pill can actually hinder the absorption rate. This greater bio-availability translates into two things: One, you<br />
get more of the nutrient you need so you benefit more...and two, you may also find that you benefit faster.<br />

SUNSHINE IN A BOTTLE<br />
Vitamin D deficiency is a growing problem with serious consequences…<br />
According to a study entitled The vitamin D epidemic and its health consequences1, vitamin D deficiency is recognized as an<br />
epidemic in the United States. Vitamin D deficiency can manifest itself in a myriad of different ways that extend beyond bone<br />
health, including cardiovascular problems, blood sugar imbalances, and cognitive impairment.<br />
Vitamin D and the Sun<br />
Sunlight exposure to the skin is the best and only natural source of vitamin D. We make an estimated 90 percent of our vitamin D<br />
naturally from sunlight exposure to our skin.<br />
An increased need for Vitamin D in the winter…<br />
Unless you’re lucky enough to live in a place that enjoys year-round sunshine, you’lll likely see a decrease in your vitamin D levels<br />
during the winter. But even in a mild winter, the northern half of the U.S. simply doesn’t receive enough UV to power sufficient skin<br />

supplementation for children, the elderly, and anyone who has difficulty swallowing pills.<br />
Benefits of Vitamin D<br />
Throughout our lifecycle, vitamin D assists with proper bone health, as it regulates our body’s calcium levels. When<br />
calcium levels are low, vitamin D stimulates calcium absorption and reduces calcium excretion, thereby encouraging<br />
the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. During childhood vitamin D assists with normal, healthy bone growth and<br />
during adulthood vitamin D assists with maintaining bone density.<br />
In addition, vitamin D aids the immune system by helping to support the body’s natural response to fight off illness.<br />
Healthy prostate, colon and breast tissue are also supported by vitamin D.<br />
Diet, aging, and lack of sun exposure can all be a cause of vitamin D deficiency<br />
Our bodies can naturally produce vitamin D when unprotected skin is exposed to the sun. Unfortunately, this process<br />
may not be as easy as it sounds. As we get older, the ability to create vitamin D from sunlight can become increasingly<br />
difficult, and unprotected, exposed skin can be a factor for other health concerns as well. However, using sunscreens to<br />
protect the skin from sun damage blocks the natural ability of the skin to create vitamin D. Living in northern latitudes,<br />
especially during the winter months, can prevent our bodies from creating adequate amounts of vitamin D. Vegetarians<br />
may also find it difficult to reach proper vitamin D levels, because meat is this vitamin’s only natural food source.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one drop per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />
Vitamin D helps support:<br />

LivaNEW<br />
SYNERGISTIC LIVER SUPPORT FORMULA<br />
LivaNew is formulated to help support and improve liver<br />
function, reduce elevated liver enzymes, and reduce fibrotic tissue damage<br />
generated by various liver conditions. Cases of severe liver disease<br />
continue to grow domestically with close to 45,000 people a year in the<br />
U.S. dying just from hepatitis and cirrhosis. Statistics from the CDC rank<br />
mortality related to chronic liver disease and cirrhosis as the twelfth most<br />
common cause of death in adults in the U.S., including diseases such as<br />
viral hepatitis, liver cancer and obesity-related fatty liver diseases.<br />
LivaNew may be beneficial for:<br />
• Hepatitis<br />
• Cirrhosis<br />
• Liver fibrosis<br />
• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease<br />
• Elevated liver enzymes<br />
The causes of hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) are primarily related to viruses, alcohol abuse, obesity (non-alcoholic<br />
steatohepatitis or NASH) and hepatotoxicity due to drug/chronic medication/toxin related issues. Cirrhosis is the final phase of<br />
chronic liver disease and is characterized by damaged, scarred tissue and significant liver dysfunction, which can, in serious cases,<br />
result in the need for liver transplantation.<br />
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), also known as steatohepatitis, is an inflammation of the liver caused by an accumulation<br />
of fat deposits in liver tissue. In most people, the primary underlying problems are obesity, diabetes or both. NAFLD typically shows<br />
up as an unexpected abnormality in liver function tests, usually the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test, in people who otherwise<br />
feel well. However, if the underlying cause, such as obesity or diabetes, is not treated, the condition may progress. As a result, NAFLD<br />
is now among the most common reasons that patients are referred for liver transplantation. Elevated liver enzymes, typically ALT<br />
and aspartate transaminase (AST), can be brought on not only by NAFLD, by a wide range of medical conditions most typically from<br />
hepatitis, medications, alcohol and obesity.<br />
Highlights of LivaNew<br />
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC), a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, has powerful antioxidant and liver-protective actions.<br />
In addition to protecting the body from oxidative damage, NAC up-regulates the formation of glutathione, the predominant<br />
antioxidant found in the liver. Glutathione depletion can be a significant complicating factor in liver disease pathology.<br />
NAC is the classic anecdote for acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity and has been shown to modulate inducible nitric<br />
oxide synthase (iNOS), the enzyme responsible for the formation of nitric oxide, a known promoter of liver injury. NAC also<br />
modulates NF-kappaB mRNA transcription, which reduces the inflammatory response, thus affecting another factor in the<br />
genesis of liver injury.<br />
The fungus Cordyceps sinensis can help improve immune function by enhancing NK cell activity. In clinical use for hepatitis B and<br />
liver fibrosis, cordyceps was shown to improve the ratio of CD4/CD8 t-lymphocytes. In animal models of hepatic fibrosis, it<br />
ameliorated symptoms by down-regulating TGF Beta, a protein that controls cellular proliferation and differentiation and also plays<br />
an important role in the regulation of the immune system. Cordyceps demonstrates liverprotective properties by reducing elevated<br />
liver enzymes and lipid oxidation, a mechanism of liver tissue damage.<br />
Reishi, known as the “mushroom of immortality” in China, possesses anti-inflammatory, antiviral, immumodulating, anti-cancer and<br />
antioxidative properties. Reishi has been shown to increase Th1 immune activity in vivo and to inhibit the replication of the<br />
hepatitis B virus in vitro.<br />
In models of hepatic damage, reishi was shown to improve liver function and decrease liver tissue damage by decreasing liver<br />
enzymes and by up-regulating endogenously-produced antioxidants such as glutathione, SOD and catalase. Reishi may also<br />
decrease liver fibrosis by reducing mRNA formation of liver collagen and by decreasing inflammatory markers such as TNF-α.<br />
Schisandra has a long history of use in Chinese medicine for viral hepatitis. Schisandra supports liver health by decreasing hepatic<br />
levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides while also increasing liver weights in animal models of hypercholesterolemia.<br />
Schisandra also increases liver cytochrome P450 activity and decreases liver enzymes while promoting serum protein<br />
biosynthesis and glycogenesis, which is important in liver cell repair.<br />

Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for allergies, infections, inflammation,<br />
cancer, and headaches. Extracts of this herb possess antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial properties, while<br />
inhibiting cellular mutagenicity. In animal models of liver injury, skullcap was shown to be hepatoprotective by increasing the Th1<br />
immune response, limiting histopathological tissue damage and reducing liver enzymes while decreasing mortality. Skullcap has<br />
also been shown to be an effective protective agent against hepatitis as well. Note that Chinese skullcap should not be confused<br />
with American skullcap which is a completely different plant. Both are used for different conditions and are not interchangeable.<br />
Burdock root (Arctium lappa) has a long history in herbal medicine where it has been used as a blood purifier and to help with<br />
many ailments including measles, arthritis, tonsillitis, viruses (such as colds), throat pain, and also as a diuretic.<br />
Animal studies suggest that burdock root may protect the liver against damage and injury caused by acetaminophen as well as<br />
carbon tetrachloride toxicity and chronic ethanol consumption. Its hepatoprotective activity may partially be linked to the plant’s<br />
antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties which reduce the tissue-damaging effects of the oxidative stress liver cells are<br />
exposed to.<br />
Milk thistle has been found especially useful in liver-related conditions. Its active ingredient, silymarin, is actually a group of<br />
flavonoids (silibinin A and B, isosilibinin A and B, silidianin, and silicristin) that in studies of liver disease and liver injury has<br />
demonstrated potent antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-fibrotic and liver cell regenerative characteristics. In<br />
vivo studies have demonstrated milk thistle’s powerful antiviral properties in patients with hepatitis C who were non-responders<br />
to interferon therapy. Researchers have found that milk thistle seed extracts reduced liver enzyme levels more effectively than the<br />
standard hepatic drug hepaticum.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
• 2 capsules twice a day for general maintenance and liver support, up to 4 capsules three times a day may be used for severe liver<br />
disease long term. A decrease in liver enzymes can dictate a subsequent lowering of dosage.<br />

Low ryr<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR NORMAL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS<br />
AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH<br />
Low RYR contains USDA certified organic red yeast rice derived from US grown Monascus purpureus, a yeast that contains several<br />
compounds collectively known as monocolins. Research shows that monocolins can support overall cardiovascular health, and<br />
monocolin K in particular can help to maintain healthy blood lipids (such as cholesterol) through its role in the production of the<br />
HMG-CoA<br />
reductase enzyme. This enzyme is directly involved in determining how much cholesterol your body produces.<br />
In addition to monocolins, this product also contains coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a nutrient recognized for its significant role in<br />
cellular energy metabolism as well as being one of our most vital antioxidants. CoQ10 is included here because it is made in the<br />
body through the same pathway as cholesterol; since red yeast rice is affecting this pathway, CoQ10’s inclusion helps to protect<br />
proper levels of this critical nutrient.<br />
Low RYR supports the cardiovascular system in the following ways:<br />
• Helps maintain a healthy balance of blood lipids such as LDL, HDL, and triglycerides<br />

Mag Max<br />
SUPPORTS CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH<br />
Magnesium’s role in the clinical applications cited above is quite well established. Beyond these commonly recognized applications,<br />
researchers have demonstrated that magnesium can support cytokine balance and decrease sensitivity to oxidative stress. An<br />
analysis of the results of a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) suggested that children who consumed less<br />
than 75% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for magnesium were 58% more likely to have elevated C-reactive protein<br />
(CRP) levels. Magnesium’s role in modulating CRP and supporting the body’s normal response to inflammation may be significant. In<br />
addition, although underlying mechanisms remain unclear, it appears that men who consume diets rich in magnesium are able to<br />
maintain healthy gallbladder function. Adequate magnesium intake indeed has strong, far-reaching health benefits.*<br />
Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate Chelate, a mineral amino acid chelate in which magnesium is bound to two amino acids, creates a<br />
complex that is more readily absorbed across the intestinal wall. Since the body can efficiently absorb dipeptides (two amino acids<br />
linked together), Albion’s TRAACS® magnesium lysinate glycinate is an excellent delivery system for magnesium. In general, Albion<br />
TRAACS patented mineral amino acid chelates are resistant to competitive minerals, do not weaken the action of vitamins, and pose<br />
a smaller risk of overdosing.*<br />
Di-Magnesium Malate, the other chelate in Mag Max, contains 69% malate (malic acid). Each capsule of Mag Max supplies<br />
approximately 400 mg of malic acid. Malic acid was chosen because it forms complexes with magnesium. Magnesium and malate<br />
play critical roles in energy production under aerobic conditions or when oxygen is lacking. Malic acid also appears to exert a<br />
protective effect by binding aluminum.*<br />
Magnesium, the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, participates in about 300-350 enzymatic reactions in nearly all tissues.<br />
Deficiency is common and results from poor dietary intake, poor absorption, and excessive losses through urine, stool, perspiration,<br />
or lactation. Certain drugs, certain herbs, poor kidney function, excessive alcohol intake, and drinking mostly “soft” water can<br />
contribute to magnesium depletion as well.*<br />
How to take:<br />
Take one to two capsules twice daily at or between meals, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.<br />
Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use. Individuals taking medication should discuss potential interactions with their<br />
healthcare practitioner. Do not use if tamper seal is damaged.<br />

MICROBIAL DEFENSE<br />
On the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains grows an important plant in the parsley family, one that native peoples have<br />
long used to prevent and treat many ailments. This plant is known botanically as Lomatium dissectum, named for its slender, hollow<br />
stem and oil-producing glands in the ripening seeds. Native Americans, perhaps more aptly, simply called the medicinal root of this<br />
plant “the Dortza,” meaning “powerful medicine.”<br />
The Washoe tribe of Native Americans collected this large, aromatic root in September and October when the richest supply of oils<br />
were concentrated in the root. After collecting the root, they sliced it lengthwise, exposing the volatile oils to the oxidizing effects of<br />
the air, which converted the oils to a stabilized resin (polymerization). The cured root would then be hung to dry from the ceiling of<br />
their hogan until needed.<br />
During the flu pandemic of 1917-19<strong>18</strong>, the root was used extensively by two Washoe bands near Carson City, Nevada. The contract<br />
physician assigned by the U. S. government to the Washoe people, Dr. E.T. Krebs, Sr., was dumbfounded to find that the groups were<br />
free from respiratory illness and no deaths had been attributed to the influenza “bug.” This was amazing because both native and<br />
white people were “dying like flies” throughout the entire region, the nation, and the world.<br />
Spotting the dried root hanging from their hogans, Dr. Krebs asked what it was. When told it was “powerful medicine” and used to<br />
prevent colds and the flu, he asked to try this medicine on some of his white patients. After making a crude preparation and giving it<br />
to these patients in San Francisco, he said, “They just stopped dying.”<br />
Over the years, extensive scientific work has been done on Lomatium dissectum. Investigation of the plant revealed an<br />
antiviral/antibiotic ingredient contained in the volatile oil factions of the root, which gives the extract a viro-static effect.<br />
This means it stops the growth of all viruses and bacteria in the body so the body’s natural immune system can eliminate lethal<br />
micro-organisms without harming ones necessary to good health.<br />
The non-toxic, viro-static extract attacks flu viruses, the trachoma virus, the Lansing Polio viruses, and numerous other viruses.<br />
Additionally, the oil from the root has demonstrated antibiotic activity on 62 strains and species of bacteria, molds, and fungi.<br />
By inhibiting growth and reproduction of viral organisms and rendering them inactive, this wonder herb enables with blood cells<br />
to do their job.<br />
Microbial Defense may be taken regularly to help prevent viral infections or taken solely during high-risk periods. Because<br />
Lomatium dissectum is also effective against molds and fungi, many West Clinic users are seeing great results in fighting<br />
Candida Albicans infections with the herbal treatment (when taken orally).<br />
Since the Lomatium dissectum in Microbial Defense is viro-static, the optimal dosage depends upon the strength (or weakness)<br />
of the body’s natural immune system. Microbial Defense is completely natural and non-toxic; therefore, the dosage may be safely<br />
increased until it takes effect. Yet it’s important to note that some people with compromised immune systems or heavy toxin loads<br />
may experience a detoxification rash. Because of this, it’s recommended to start slowly and work up to a higher dosage.<br />
You should always start with a very small dosage when taking Lomatium dissectum for the first time. In a capsule form, such as<br />
Microbial Defense, a small dose is considered one capsule per day for the first week, It is easier to start with a smaller dosage when<br />
Lomatium dissectum is in liquid form.<br />
PRECAUTION: If you are new to Microbial Defense (Lomatium Dissectum) you could develop a one-time detox rash. By some<br />
estimates, approximately one in six people may be affected by this rash. This rash can cover a small percentage of the body or the<br />
full body. It can be itchy, swollen, and uncomfortable and sometimes accompanied by a fever and purple welts.<br />
If you have never used Lomatium dissectum, we recommend taking dandelion root either in liquid or capsule form beginning a few<br />
days prior to taking Microbial Defense and continuing throughout the first week of taking Microbial Defense. This often helps the<br />
body process the detox reaction, lessening both the chance of getting a rash and the severity of the rash if it occurs.<br />
If you do get the rash, you should begin supplementing with Vitamin C immediately. Ginger baths and oatmeal baths may also help<br />
to mitigate the rash. You must generally allow the rash to run its course; it does not typically respond to antihistamine or steriod<br />
therapy. After getting the rash once, it is very unusual to have a second occurrence.<br />

Melatonin 6mg<br />
MULTIFUNCTIONAL HORMONE<br />
Melatonin is a hormone that is released from the pineal gland, a pea-sized endocrine gland located in the brain. Specific<br />
nutrients and other biochemical substances are required for the body to create melatonin, such as the amino acid<br />
tryptophan and the hormone serotonin, along with vitamin B6, folate, SAMe and iron. However, many people do not<br />
make enough melatonin, and therefore benefit from additional supplementation. Our product offers 3 mg of quality<br />
melatonin in each tablet, along with 10 mg of vitamin B6, one of its most important cofactors.<br />
One of merlatonin’s principal functions is to help regulate sleep by<br />
controlling our day and night biological rhythms, known as there<br />
‘circadian rhythm’ or our 24-hour biological clock. Melatonin regulates<br />
the body’s sleep response when exposed to natural light. Our bodies<br />
release more melatonin in darkness to prepare for sleep, and less<br />
melatonin in daylight. Melatonin also supports healthy immune and<br />
stress responses and is an important antioxidant, which acts as an<br />
effective scavenger of free radicals.<br />
Factors that may reduce the production of melatonin include:<br />
• Normal aging<br />
• Poor sleeping habits, such as going to bed too late or sleeping<br />
during the day<br />
• Inadequate darkness for the duration of the night<br />
• Insufficient exposure to natural light during daytime<br />
• Excessive mental stress<br />
• High caffeine or alcohol consumption too close to bedtime<br />
• Diet low in nutrients needed to create melatonin<br />
• Inability to properly use the nutrients needed to create melatonin<br />
Benefits of Melatonin<br />
• Regulates sleep and the body’s day/ night<br />
rhythmic cycle<br />
• Regulates body’s response from lack of<br />
natural light<br />
• Helps alleviate jet lag<br />
• May help stimulate the immune response<br />
• Supports a healthy level of stress hormones<br />
• Supports healthy antioxidant functions<br />
Helpful Hint:<br />
To help your body produce melatonin, make your bedroom as dark as possible, as light destroys the flow of melatonin. Close those<br />
shades and keep electronics out of the bedroom (yes, that means computers, cell phones, nightlights and bright digital alarm<br />
clocks).<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
As a dietary supplement, adults take one tablet (3 mg) twenty minutes before bedtime per day, or as directed by your<br />
health care practitioner.<br />
Note: If pregnant or using a prescription drug, consult your health care practitioner. Do not take this product if you<br />
suffer from an autoimmune disease, depression, diabetes, or any endocrine disorders. Do not use this product while<br />
operating a motorized vehicle or heavy machinery.<br />

Mental Stamina<br />
HELPS SUPPORT NORMAL, HEALTHY COGNITIVE FUNCTION<br />
Mental Stamina is a unique combination of nutrients and botanicals that supports cognitive function and a healthy memory. It<br />
features select B vitamins, including Quatrefolic®, a patented form of 5-MTHF; the herbs Gingko biloba and Bacopa monnieri;<br />
nutrients that provide antioxidant activity; and brain-specific nutrients such as vinpocetine, acetyl-L-carnitine, and<br />
sunflower-derived phosphatidylserine. This comprehensive formula addresses the multiple pathways involved in neurological<br />
health by supporting oxidant and cytokine balance, methylation, mitochondrial function, and endocrine balance.<br />
Vitamins B6 (as pyridoxal 5’-phosphate), B12 (as methylcobalamin), and folate (as 5-MTHF) are essential homocysteine<br />
remethylation cofactors; as such, they support the maintenance of healthy homocysteine levels. Normal blood levels of<br />
homocysteine are associated with healthy cognition in the elderly and healthy cerebrovascular function. The brain may be<br />
protected by improving methylation by providing the nutritional cofactors needed for proper functioning of the methionine<br />
cycle.*<br />
5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate) may better support folate nutrition in those with digestive issues and those with genetic<br />
variations in folic acid metabolism. The form of 5-MTHF in Mental Stamina is Quatrefolic, which is proven to have greater<br />
stability, solubility, and bioavailability over calcium salt forms of 5-MTHF.*<br />
N-Acetyl-Cysteine is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and is known to combat oxidative stress, and reduced<br />
oxidative stress may support healthier nerve tissue. L-carnitine is a vital cofactor for mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids<br />
providing the brain with an energy substrate. Acetyl-L-carnitine, an ester of L-carnitine, possesses properties that may<br />
be effective in supporting healthy cognition with age. The phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) plays an important<br />
functional role in membrane-related processes in the brain and regulates the release of acetylcholine, dopamine, and<br />
noradrenaline. PS appears to support neuronal health and healthy brain function, possibly through its effect on cytokine<br />
production and their influence on microglia.*<br />
Ginkgo biloba leaf extract contains two main bioactive constituents—ginkgoflavonglycosides (24%) and terpene lactones<br />
(6%)—and is used in the formula because of its reported stress-alleviating and memory-supportive effects as well as its<br />
ability to support the health and integrity of neurons. The mechanisms of action may be mediated through its antioxidant,<br />
antihypoxic, and microcirculatory actions. The Ayurvedic herb Bacopa monniera has reported cognition-facilitating,<br />
cytokine-modulating, and anti-stress effects. These effects are thought to be mediated through its remarkable<br />
free-radical–scavenging capacity and its protective effect on DNA cleavage.*<br />
Vinpocetine is derived from vincamine, an alkaloid extracted from the periwinkle plant (Vinca minor). It has been used<br />
extensively in Eastern Europe, and more recently in the United States, to support cerebrovascular health and healthy<br />
mental function. Vinpocetine’s roles in supporting brain function are multi-modal and include its influence on cerebral<br />
circulation, its antioxidant activity in the brain, and its role in affecting ion channels and cytokine production. Together,<br />
these varied actions support overall brain tissue health and function. The efficacy and safety of vinpocetine have been<br />
tested and validated by in vitro, animal, and human studies. Many human studies demonstrate positive results in neurologic<br />
functioning—primarily related to capillary blood flow and cellular metabolism.*<br />
Huperzine A (HupA), like vinpocetine, affects ion channels. Such activity has been found to support healthy learning and<br />
memory. HupA may have a positive effect on levels of acetylcholine through its action on acetylcholinesterase (AChE).<br />
Acetylcholine is one of the chemicals that our nerves use to communicate in the brain, muscles, and other areas. HupA<br />
has been found to support healthy cognition in a broad range of animal models, and phase IV clinical trials in China<br />
demonstrated that HupA was valuable in promoting healthy recall and cognition in elderly subjects.*<br />

Methyl b12 Folate<br />
UNIQUE FORMULA COMBINING ACTIVE FORMS OF VITAMIN B12 WITH<br />
NATURAL FOLATES<br />
Methyl B12 Folate is a unique formula that combines vitamin B12 (cobalamin) with our proprietary blend of safe, naturallyoccurring<br />
folates. These folates are found in foods such as eggs and spinach and are immediately ‘active’ and bioavailable to the human body.<br />
While many manufacturers offer B12 and folate separately, this formula combines these synergistic vitamins in one capsule, for<br />
superior results. This product provides equal amounts of the active, coenzyme forms of B12, adenosylcobalamin and<br />
methylcobalamin, in order to ensure immediate integration into the chemical processes of the body.<br />
Vitamin B12 works with folate in many body processes including the synthesis of DNA, red blood cells, the maintenance of the<br />
protective myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cells, and for all normal cell growth and replication. Additionally, these nutrients<br />
synergistically reduce the body’s concentrations of homocysteine, a potentially dangerous compound that can harm the<br />
cardiovascular system and may be detrimental to overall health and wellness.<br />
Health Benefits of Methyl B12 Folate<br />
• Supports healthy energy levels by aiding the body’s conversion of foods into usable energy (ATP)<br />
• Supports a healthy cardiovascular system – helps maintain proper homocysteine levels by assisting in the biochemical<br />
cycle that converts homocysteine into the amino acid methionine<br />
• Helps the body maintain optimal nerve cell function and neurological health, due to B12’s role in the normal<br />
maintenance and repair of myelin, which encases and protects nerve cells<br />
• Encourages optimal mental health, cognitive function, a positive mental outlook, and feelings of well-being<br />
• Promotes the production and maintenance of healthy blood cells and joints<br />
• Supports a strong immune system<br />
• Supports healthy neurological development in babies and during pregnancy<br />
Highlights of Methyl B12 Folate<br />
• Provides active coenzyme forms of B12<br />
• Contains safe, naturally-occurring folates in their active 5-MTHF form (helpful for individuals with genetic makeups that<br />
impair activation of folate)<br />
• Ideal for vegans and vegetarians who do not consume animal foods, the only source of vitamin B12<br />
• Adequate for elderly individuals who have a decreased ability to absorb dietary vitamin B12 and are frequently at risk for<br />
deficiency<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed<br />
by your health care practitioner.<br />

Microb armour<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH<br />
Microb Armour is a proprietary blend of botanicals that can help support a healthy microbial balance in the gastrointestinal (GI)<br />
tract. Each ingredient in this product has a long history of use for supporting healthy gut flora. These botanicals include: Tribulus<br />
Extract, a flowering plant also known as the Puncture Vine, which is native to warm temperate and tropical regions; Berberine<br />
Sulfate, found in roots, rhizomes and the stem bark of plants such as barberry, goldenseal, goldenthread and tree turmeric; Sweet<br />
Wormwood, derived from the inner bark of the Artemesia annua; Black Walnut Extract; Bearberry Extract; and Caprylic Acid.<br />
Aging, exposure to antibiotics, poor diet, and stress can all compromise the good gastrointestinal bacteria and disrupt the microbial<br />
balance. Combined, the ingredients in Microb Armour provide a broad spectrum of activity in order to support a healthy balance of<br />
the normal flora.<br />
Why is it important to support the GI tract?<br />
A healthy digestive system is critical to our overall health. Seventy percent of the body’s immune system resides in the digestive<br />
tract and it is here where food is broken down into absorbable nutrients.<br />
Billions of bacteria live and work in the intestines, affecting our metabolism, nutrient absorption and immune function. They<br />
ferment foods, prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, and work to manufacture hormones and produce vitamins such as K, B12,<br />
and other B vitamins. The presence of specific bacteria can even have an effect on weight management, as gut microbes aid in the<br />
breakdown of carbohydrates and in the absorption of dietary fats.<br />
Bacteria also work to enhance the protective barrier function of the intestines, in order to support the immune system. They serve<br />
as a line of resistance against invasive bacteria and can even trigger the production of what are called ‘T cells,’ which are important<br />
immune system boosters. Therefore, it is vital to our health to help foster the healthy bacteria that live in the gut.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
Take one capsule per day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />
Switch to taking this product with a meal if it causes stomach upset.<br />

Mojo maker<br />
SUPPORTS THE BODY’S RESPONSE TO STRESS<br />
Stress is caused by physiological, psychological, or emotional triggers (stressors) that cause a disturbance in the homeostasis of an<br />
organism. How we respond to those stressors (physiologically and psychologically) influences how well we cope with change and<br />
with ongoing stress. Structural or physical trauma, distress, poor diet, infection, toxic exposure, leaky gut, births, deaths, lack of<br />
sleep, temperature changes, electromagnetic radiation, and allergies or food sensitivities are all potential stressors. Combined, they<br />
amount to a total stress level and can ultimately disrupt homeostasis with direct effects on the autonomic nervous system, the<br />
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune systems . Specifically, research reveals<br />
that prolonged stress has a profound effect on the adrenal glands, lymph nodes, thymus gland, and gastrointestinal system.<br />
Endocrinologist Hans Selye identified the various stages of the stress response (alarm, resistance, and exhaustion) and described<br />
the entire phenomenon as the general adaptation syndrome (GAS).<br />
Micronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, are involved in the majority of metabolic functions in the body.<br />
B vitamins are especially important to energy generation within the cellular mitochondria, and a deficiency of any B vitamin can<br />
compromise mitochondrial function. Riboflavin supports the respiratory chain, niacin supplies protons for oxidative<br />
phosphorylation, and pantothenic acid is required for coenzyme A production, metabolic enzyme complex formation, and fatty<br />
acid oxidation. Stressors can increase metabolic demand, energy expenditure, and micronutrient needs. Micronutrient sufficiency<br />
and balance have been established as crucial to helping maintain a healthy psychological and physiological response to stress.<br />
Unfortunately, experts estimate that a significant proportion of the general population does not consume adequate dietary levels<br />
of several micronutrients. Experts suggest that exogenous supplementation can improve micronutrient status and sufficiency and<br />
help support a healthy response to stress.*<br />
Clinical research supports the premise that micronutrient supplementation can favorably support the stress response in a variety<br />
of circumstances. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (RDBPC) trial, high-potency doses of B vitamins and vitamin<br />
C along with an array of minerals were studied for their effects on perceived stress scores (measuring one’s self perception of<br />
stress) in 215 males aged 30 to 55 years. Results revealed significant improvements on the perceived stress scale (PSS), the profile<br />
of mood states (POMS), and the general health questionnaire (GHQ-12) for those taking the multivitamin/mineral supplement.<br />
Another RDBPC study of 80 males revealed consistent and statistically significant modulation in anxiety and perceived stress in the<br />
men who took a high-potency multivitamin/mineral supplement compared to those who took the placebo. Participants taking the<br />
supplement also reported feeling less tired and better able to concentrate compared to their placebo-taking counterparts. Similar<br />
results were achieved in a double-blind, placebocontrolled, double-center study of 300 subjects taking a multivitamin/mineral<br />
supplement, with significant improvement in baseline stress scores. The levels of vitamin C, riboflavin, B6, pantothenic acid, and zinc<br />
provided in the recommended dose of two Mojo Maker capsules twice daily meets or exceeds the levels used in these clinical<br />
studies. The recommended daily dose of four capsules also provides 30 mg of niacin (compared to 50 mg used in studies) and 90<br />
mg of magnesium (compared to 100 mg used in studies).*<br />

Olive Leaf extract<br />
A SECRET WEAPON FOR HEALTH<br />
The olive tree has long been attributed by many cultures to be a remarkable plant with a wide variety of healing<br />
capabilities. The tree has been studied for centuries, and over the years many health-promoting benefits have<br />
been attributed to it. Chances are you are most familiar with olives as a food product, however this is just one<br />
use of many. Olive oil, buds, leaves, and roots all possess medicinal properties, with olive leaf extract being of<br />
exceptional interest. Hidden in the leaves of the olive tree, powerful healing nutrients reside.<br />
What makes olive leaf extract so powerful?<br />
Oleuropein is the substance in olive leaf extract that is responsible<br />
for many of its beneficial activities and which exhibits the greatest<br />
range of medicinal properties. Nature’s Nx’s Olive Leaf<br />
Extract is standardized to contain 20% oleuropien, which means<br />
that each capsule is guaranteed to have a significant amount of<br />
this constituent to ensure its effectiveness.<br />
Olive leaves are also rich in antioxidants and have more potent<br />
antioxidant activity than green tea. The leaves contain an<br />
antioxidant comparable to vitamin E, along with flavonoids such<br />
as rutin and flavonol that also possess powerful antioxidant<br />
properties.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
Take one capsule daily or as directed by your health care<br />
practitioner. For healthy individuals looking to maximize the<br />
benefits from olive leaf extract, two capsules can be taken daily.<br />
The supplement should be taken between meals for best results.<br />
Functions:<br />
• Supports our natural defense<br />
against overgrowth of unfriendly<br />
organisms<br />
• Promotes healthy intestinal and<br />
respiratory function<br />
• Potent antioxidant properties<br />
from flavonoids inhibit oxidation<br />
that occurs naturally to LDL<br />

Osteo flash<br />
OSTEOPOROSIS AND OSTEOPENIA<br />
WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS?<br />
Osteoporosis, which literally means porous bones, is a disease where bones<br />
lose their density and become fragile. With osteoporosis, there is a decline in<br />
the body’s bone remodeling process, where bone breakdown progresses<br />
faster than bone formation. The end result is that your bones become brittle<br />
and weak, putting you at a much higher risk of fracture from either a fall or<br />
sometimes just from simply bumping into an object. While any bone can be<br />
affected, bones in the spine, hip, and wrist are most susceptible to fracture.<br />

Ponce de leon<br />
REDUCES FINE LINES AND WRINKLES<br />
Silicon and Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid Silicon is a ubiquitous element present in various tissues of the human body. It<br />
performs an important role in connective tissue health, especially in the formation of the organic matrix (e.g., collagen and<br />
glycosaminoglycan formation). Cereal/grain-based products and vegetables are the main dietary sources of silicon, but modern<br />
processing is likely to reduce intake from these sources. Soluble silicon is found as orthosilicic acid (OSA) in beverages and water<br />
Because regular orthosilicic acid is highly unstable, leading it to form polymers, and because the polymers are too large for the<br />
human body to absorb, Ponce De Leon features patented “choline stabilization” technology. This stabilization prevents polymers<br />
from forming, ensuring optimal absorption of orthosilicic acid. Choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) is a bioavailable form<br />
of silicon that has been found to increase the hydroxyproline concentration in the dermis of animals. Furthermore, the ch-OSA in<br />
Ponce De Leon is clinically proven for your assurance.*<br />
“Beauty Proteins” and Orthosilicic Acid ch-OSA helps naturally nourish the body’s beauty proteins: collagen, elastin, and keratin.<br />
Collagen is the body’s main structural protein. It makes up 70% of skin and gives skin its strength and elasticity. It forms 30% of bone<br />
to give bones the flexibility they need to withstand impact. Additionally, the collagen fibers in bone are the binding sites for<br />
calcium and other bone minerals. Collagen is also the major component of fascia, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.<br />
Unfortunately, collagen production begins decreasing at age <strong>18</strong>. By the age of 40, the decrease is about 1% per year. For women,<br />
the decline equates to a loss of 7% of skin thickness every 10 years. Following menopause, the decline in thickness accelerates to as<br />
much as 1.13% annually, while skin elasticity degrades 0.55% per year. Adequate collagen production correlates with healthy bones<br />
and strong hair and nails.*<br />
For years, OSA was the focus of intense research because it was viewed as a potential collagen generator. As a result of that research,<br />
the molecular complex known ch-OSA was created. Choline not only has the positively charged nitrogen atom that forms the vital<br />
bond with OSA, but according to leading collagen researchers, choline transports the orthosilicic acid into target cells where it<br />
activates the pathways involved in collagen production. Clinical trials also suggest that beyond its ability to generate collagen,<br />
ch-OSA promotes keratin and elastin formation—two proteins that assist in skin elasticity and hair tensile strength.*<br />
ch-OSA Clinical Studies<br />
In a 20-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 50 women with photo-damaged facial skin, oral intake of 10<br />
mg/d silicon as ch-OSA resulted in significantly improved skin visco-elastic properties and a 19% reduction in roughness with a 30%<br />
reduction in micro-wrinkle depth (measured as maximum roughness) compared to placebo. In the same clinical trial, the women’s<br />
hair and nails showed significant improvements in strength. Furthermore, serum silicon was significantly higher (+72%) in subjects<br />
after 20 weeks of supplementation with ch-OSA compared to the placebo group. In a nine-month, randomized, double-blind,<br />
placebo-controlled trial with 48 healthy Caucasian women with fine hair (average age 43.3 years), 10 mg/d of silicon as ch-OSA for<br />
nine months improved hair tensile strength including elasticity and break load and resulted in thicker hair.*<br />
In a 12-month clinical trial conducted at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London, women already taking 1000 mg of calcium and 800 IU of<br />
vitamin D, to which they added ch-OSA, saw thighbone mineral density at the hip (i.e., femoral neck) increase by 2.00% compared<br />
to placebo. This was as a result of an increase in actual bone formation, not just a decrease in loss. Furthermore, the procollagen<br />
marker P1NP (procollagen type-1 N-terminal propeptide) increased significantly after 12 months in women who took ch-OSA<br />
compared to women in the placebo group. P1NP is known as the most sensitive marker for bone collagen formation and an early<br />
marker of bone formation. Animal studies support the human clinical findings for ch-OSA with respect to collagen formation and<br />
bone mineral density.*<br />
In an open clinical study, <strong>18</strong> subjects were given five drops of ch-OSA twice daily for six months. Hair growth and hair loss<br />
assessments were performed using a semi-quantitative rating scale, and scores were analyzed using the Friedman test. At the end<br />
of the six months, 94% of respondents had improved hair growth with 58% in the categories of moderate to marked hair growth.<br />
All respondents noted improvement in the body and texture of their hair.*<br />
Biotin<br />
Biotin, as an essential component of carboxylase enzymes, has diverse roles in maintaining health. While overt biotin deficiency<br />
is known to result in skin irritation and hair loss, anecdotal evidence suggests that biotin supplementation supports healthy hair<br />
growth, and supplementing with biotin is a common method for enhancing skin health and hair and nail strength. Studies testing<br />
the effects of biotin on nail health suggest that biotin supplementation improves nail thickness and reduces splitting. In one study,<br />
91% of subjects showed definite improvement with firmer and harder finger nails after 5.5+/-2.3 months of 2.5 mg/d biotin Higher<br />
doses of biotin (9 mg to 16 mg/d) are used to support healthy lipid and glucose metabolism; and more recently, doses up to 300<br />
mg/d have been used to support muscle function related to neurologic health.*<br />

Pro Mag<br />
HIGHLY BIOAVAILABLE MAGNESIUM<br />
Pro Mag is an essential mineral that serves as an enzyme cofactor for over three hundred biochemical reactions in the body. The<br />
need for magnesium throughout the body is reflected in the fact that the adult human body contains approximately 25 grams of<br />
magnesium, divided among the skeleton, muscle tissue, blood, and other areas.<br />
Pro Mag is a form of magnesium bound to malic acid, which is a compound found naturally in fruits and vegetables, and is<br />
responsible for the tart flavor of rhubarb and green apples. Magnesium is a required cofactor for enzymes that harness energy<br />
from carbohydrates, while malic acid is an intermediary of the complex process that generates energy from all fuel sources,<br />
including carbohydrates, fats, and ketones. Therefore, Pro Mag may be especially beneficial for individuals who<br />
experience occasional low energy and fatigue.<br />
Pro Mag may also support:<br />
• Cardiovascular function: Owing to its role in muscle contraction and relaxation, and nerve conduction,<br />
magnesium may help support healthy blood pressure levels and cardiovascular function.<br />
• Healthy carbohydrate tolerance: Magnesium is indispensable for converting carbohydrate (glucose) to energy, and is<br />
also required for proper functioning of the insulin receptor. Individuals who experience occasional issues related to blood<br />
glucos levels and carbohydrate tolerance may benefit from supplemental magnesium.<br />
• Bone health: Sixty percent of the magnesium in the human body is found in the skeleton. Magnesium is an essential<br />
element of the physical structure of bone tissue. <strong>Supplement</strong>ing with calcium alone often does not have the desired effect<br />
of strengthening bones; maintenance of healthy bones requires adequate magnesium, along with protein and other<br />
mineral cofactors.<br />
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take two capsules per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Pro Stim<br />
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY PROSTATE FUNCTION<br />
Pro Stim contains a comprehensive formula of nutrients designed to nourish and protect prostate cells.<br />
The prostate is a small gland that surrounds the neck of the bladder and urethra, both of which are responsible<br />
for ensuring healthy urinary flow. The major known function of the prostate gland is to manufacture and secrete<br />
seminal fluid, which includes the sperm necessary for human reproduction. This fluid also helps maintain a moist<br />
lining in the urethra, which is the tube through which urine and seminal fluids flow out of the body.<br />
As men age, hormonal and metabolic changes can affect prostate health. Additionally, some of the hormonal<br />
changes that influence the health of the prostate can have effects elsewhere in the body, so targeted supplementation<br />
that offers support to the prostate gland may benefit a man’s overall health.<br />
Highlights<br />
• Zinc – this mineral is stored in the prostate gland and is required for healthy sperm production. In addition to<br />
a highly absorbable form of chelated zinc, this product also includes pumpkin seed extract, a naturally rich<br />
source of zinc.<br />
• Lycopene – the most potent and abundant antioxidant in the prostate gland, well recognized for supporting<br />
prostate health and protecting cells from oxidative damage<br />
• Saw Palmetto – plant extract that promotes healthy hormone levels—specifically, it helps inhibit the<br />
conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a more potent androgen hormone that can<br />
negatively affect the prostate<br />
• Glycine, Alanine, and Glutamic Acid – amino acids abundant in seminal fluid<br />
• DIM (Diindolylmethane) and Chrysin – extracts known to decrease the conversion of testosterone into<br />
estrogen, therefore helping to maintain a healthy hormone balance<br />
Who can benefit from Pro Stim?<br />
• Men who want to support and maintain healthy prostate function, especially those over the age of 45<br />
Recommended Use: Take two capsules per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Really Regular<br />
SUPPORTS DIGESTION, ASSIMILATION, AND ELIMINATION<br />
Really Regular addresses an issue of universal importance: gastrointestinal (GI) health. GI regularity and<br />
function is vital to physiological balance and overall well-being. How well the body digests, assimilates, and<br />
eliminates metabolic fuel and metabolic waste determines health at the cellular level. Toxins that enter the body<br />
must be detoxified and their metabolites must exit the body. Gastrointestinal elimination plays a major role in<br />
detoxification by expelling the remnants of toxic molecules. If these harmful remnants are not eliminated, they<br />
can recirculate throughout the body.*<br />
Magnesium Magnesium citrate, the type of magnesium in Really Regular, is used for colonoscopy preparation.<br />
Chosen for its promotion of muscle relaxation and effective elimination of feces through the bowel, magnesium<br />
citrate is also highly bioavailable. It should be noted that particular forms of magnesium may be absorbed<br />
differently. Please note that while magnesium citrate is best suited to support gastrointestinal elimination, the<br />
patented amino acid chelates such as the lysyl glycinate and dimagnesium malate chelates in Natures Nx’s<br />
Magnesium Chelate formula are designed to be bioavailable and easily absorbed.*<br />
As a macromineral, magnesium supports cell, tissue, and organ function and participates in over 300 metabolic<br />
reactions in the body. This essential mineral plays a pivotal role in energy-producing reactions, detoxification,<br />
muscle and nerve function, and skeletal structure. Magnesium can readily become depleted due to inadequate<br />
intake, poor absorption, excessive losses, and drug-induced nutrient depletions.*<br />
Cape Aloe (Aloe ferox) Cape Aloe has a long history of use in South Africa and continues to be closely studied<br />
for its valuable attributes, specifically how it supports GI regularity. The herb is ideally used in the short<br />
term to support the elimination of feces and subsequently the elimination of toxins. Recent research suggests<br />
that Cape Aloe supports gastrointestinal regularity and is well tolerated. Administration of the herb in animals<br />
showed no negative toxicological effects at doses of up to 200 mg/kg body weight over a seven-day period.*<br />
Triphala Triphala comprises three sour, astringent fruits: Emblica officinalis (amla), Terminalia belerica (behada),<br />
and Terminalia chebula (harada). This tannin-rich herbal compound has been used traditionally for supporting<br />
digestion, assimilation, and elimination. Triphala is considered to be a cornerstone of the art and practice of<br />
Ayurveda, and it is used throughout India in herbal products. Modern-day clinical trials have confirmed the<br />
benefits of traditional uses of triphala, especially gastrointestinal support. Researchers indicated that triphala<br />
positively supports appetite, GI health, and rejuvenation.*<br />
Really Regular is intended for short-term use only and should never be consumed during pregnancy. Follow<br />

Safe cracker<br />
HERBAL AND MINERAL MUSCLE PAIN SUPPORT FORMULA<br />
Safe Cracker is a revolutionary approach to the complications of physical and stress-induced muscle pain, a condition that<br />
plagues everyone from professional athletes to weekend warriors. Safe Cracker is designed to optimize core musculoskeletal<br />
physiology so as to limit stresses on the spine and associated tissues that may lead to pain and injury. Unlike most common muscle<br />
pain therapies today, Safe Cracker does not just address the pain and/or inflammation associated with the condition, but instead<br />
it helps deal with the underlying foundational causes at the tissue level that often ultimately lead to injuries and the resultant pain<br />
and inflammation.<br />
How does Safe Cracker address the root causes of back pain?<br />
One key is controlling the natural contraction and relaxation of the muscles that influence the spine. Another key is supporting<br />
optimal neurological actions of the motor neurons which control muscle function. Consider that if the body is deficient in the<br />
nutrients required to stop muscles from uncontrollably contracting and stressing the structure of the lower back and spine, that<br />
no other therapy could possibly end the cycle of pain and injury associated with most back pain conditions. Since it is difficult to<br />
achieve the optimal levels of the minerals and other key nutrients required to support the needs of most physically active<br />
individuals through diet alone, proper supplementation may be beneficial. Daily supplementation with Safe Cracker may not only<br />
provide relief from back pain, it also may help prevent it from recurring.<br />
Uses for Safe Cracker:<br />
• Acute back pain • Acute muscle spasm & pain • Chronic back pain<br />
• Chronic muscle spasm & pain • Loss of flexibility • Myofascial pain syndrome (trigger points)<br />
• Neck tension • Sciatica pain • Sports injuries<br />
• Stress headaches<br />
• Stress induced muscle tightness<br />
Safe Cracker may:<br />
• Help maintain spinal stability and proper muscle tone even under stressful situations<br />
• Provide a natural pain reduction and muscle relaxing effect without causing drowsiness or loss of strength and performance<br />
• Shorten muscle and soft-tissue recovery from sports injuries and trauma<br />
• Reduce acute and chronic muscle spasm, including myofascial trigger points<br />
• Increase pain tolerance in chronic pain syndromes<br />
Highlights<br />
Safe Cracker contains quality standardized herbal extracts, such as valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), passion flower (Passiflora<br />
incarnata), and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), all safe nervine botanicals known for their relaxant properties. Vitamin D is included<br />
based on the demonstrated advantages of vitamin D therapy in helping to alleviate chronic muscle, bone and joint aches.<br />
Safe Cracker also contains the highly bioavailable minerals di-magnesium malate, di-calcium malate, and potassium glycinate. All<br />
are involved in nerve transmission, muscular contraction and relaxation responses to provide further comprehensive support for<br />
back pain, muscle spasm and myofascial trigger points.<br />

SAMe Synergy<br />
S-Adenosylmethionine or SAMe is a naturally occurring compound found in the human body as well as in plant and animal foods. It<br />
is made from the amino acid methionine and is involved in many critical processes throughout the body. SAMe plays a role in<br />
supporting the immune system and maintaining cell membranes, the protective barrier that surrounds all cells. It also helps to<br />
produce brain chemicals such as melatonin– the hormone that helps with your body’s sleep cycle, and serotonin – the hormone<br />
that affects your mood.<br />
Even if the body is producing normal or average levels of SAMe, certain situations create an increased demand for it, such as:<br />
• Aging<br />
• Dietary deficiency<br />
• Inflammatory states<br />
• Emotional or physical stress<br />
• Genetic variations<br />
Low levels of SAMe may be due to insufficient amounts of methionine. This is sometimes seen in vegetarianism or individuals<br />
with poor protein intake, as methionine is found in protein-rich foods such as such as fish, meat and dairy products.<br />
These capsules provide 200 mg of SAMe along with vitamins B6, B12, and natural folate, additional nutrients necessary for<br />
the proper and efficient function of SAMe.<br />
Benefits of SAMe Synergy<br />
• Brain and mood support – helps produce brain neurotransmitters. It has been found that proper levels of SAMe<br />
are necessary to maintain healthy mood and brain function.<br />
• Liver support – protects from effects of alcohol and certain medications (i.e., acetaminophen), and supports<br />
detoxification (the removal of toxic substances from the body)<br />
• Joint support - helpful in supporting the health of cartilage in joints, and in managing the body’s natural inflammatory<br />
response<br />
What makes Nature’s Nx SAMe Synergy capsules unique?<br />
Our SAMe Synergy capsules are made using special technology with a patented stabilized powder which protects the SAMe<br />
Synergy from being destroyed by air and moisture. This cutting-edge technology prevents its breakdown by stomach acidity and<br />
allows the capsule to be absorbed intact in the small intestine.<br />
Suggested Use<br />
Absorption of SAMe Synergy is optimal on an empty stomach, however, SAMe Synergy may also be taken with meals, as it slows its<br />
delivery and creates a natural increase in SAMe Synergy concentrations similar to that of your body’s natural production.<br />

Serotonin Support<br />
What is Serotonin Support?<br />
5-Hydroxytryptophan, made from the amino acid L-tryptophan with the help of<br />
vitamin B6, is a precursor to serotonin production. The amino acid tryptophan can<br />
be found naturally in protein foods such as turkey and milk. Serotonin is a very<br />
important neurotransmitter known as “the feel good hormone.” In the central nervous<br />
system (CNS), serotonin has been implicated in the regulation of sleep, depression,<br />
anxiety, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.<br />
Why Consider Serotonin Support <strong>Supplement</strong>ation?<br />
All serotonin used by brain cells must be made within the neurons, since it cannot<br />
cross the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, the synthesis of serotonin is heavily<br />
dependent upon the availability of L-tryptophan within the CNS.<br />
The production and transport of L-tryptophan from the bloodstream into the CNS<br />
can be compromised by several factors including stress, elevated cortisol levels,<br />
vitamin B6 deficiency, and even high dosages (above 2,000 mg) of L-tryptophan,<br />
which all stimulate the conversion of L-tryptophan to kynurenine, lowering serum<br />
tryptophan levels.<br />
According to research, Serotonin allows for weight loss without dieting,<br />
reduces appetite, reduces cravings for carbohydrates, improves mood, helps diabetics<br />
to stay on their diets, improves fibromyalgia symptoms, reduces frequency and<br />
severity of headaches and even helps protein digestion.<br />
Serotonin Support may be<br />
helpful for:<br />
• Excessive appetite<br />
• Binge eating<br />
• Carbohydrate cravings<br />
• Obesity<br />
• Headaches<br />
• Migraines<br />
• Insomnia<br />
• Fibromyalgia<br />
• Depression<br />
• Bipolar disorder<br />
• Poor digestion<br />
How Does Serotonin Support Help Those with Diabetes Mellitus?<br />
Diabetes is associated with depressed tryptophan levels and as a result, a higher incidence of depression. Diabetics also<br />
suffer from hyperphagia and carbohydrate cravings. In a study where 20 overweight patients with NIDDM were given 750<br />
mg/day of Serotonin or placebo for two weeks, daily energy intake decreased considerably. Carbohydrate and fat intake<br />
were both reduced. Body weight reduced as well without dietary restriction (Cangiano C, et al, J Obes Relat Metab Disor,<br />
1998). The conclusion of this study states: “These data confirm the role of the serotonergic system in reducing energy<br />
intake, by predominantly inhibiting carbohydrate intake, and suggest that Serotonin Support may be safely utilized to improve the<br />
compliance to dietary prescriptions in NIDDM.”<br />
Is Serotonin Support Safe?<br />
While L-tryptophan is synthesized from bacteria, allowing for contamination, Serotonin Support is made from the seeds of the<br />
African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.<br />
Serotonin Support is Well Absorbed<br />
Serotonin Support is well absorbed from an oral dose, with about 70% ending up in the bloodstream. Absorption of Serotonin<br />
Support is not affected by the presence of other amino acids; therefore, it may be taken with meals without reducing its<br />
effectiveness. Unlike LT, Serotonin Support cannot be shunted into niacin or protein production.<br />
Other neurotransmitters and CNS chemicals such as melatonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and beta-endorphin have also<br />
been shown to increase following oral administration of Serotonin Support. This ability to increase not only serotonin levels in the<br />
brain, but also dopamine and norepinephrine, allows Serotonin Support to produce some significant and unique effects on brain<br />
chemistry and on serotonin-related conditions which other substances, including LT, cannot duplicate.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day, or as directed by a health care practitioner.<br />

SUPPORTS RELAXED MOOD<br />
Inositol present as the distinct isomer myo-inositol, inositol is a six-carbon cyclic polyalcohol that occurs naturally in all living cells.<br />
Fruits, beans, grains, and nuts contain some inositol; however, an <strong>18</strong>00-2500–calorie daily diet has been shown to provide only<br />
225-1500 mg of myo-inositol. Of the nearly 100% of ingested myo-inositol that is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, more than<br />
half becomes lipid bound. In contrast to low plasma concentration, the peripheral nerves have an extraordinarily high concentration<br />
of myo-inositol. Inositol is a precursor for the second-messenger phosphatidylinositol system, which affects mood status differently<br />
than precursors for neurotransmitters. Based upon validated scoring procedures, double-blind, controlled, random-order crossover<br />
clinical trials using up to <strong>18</strong> g of myo-inositol per day for a month have demonstrated effectiveness with minimal to no side effects.*<br />
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) GABA is an amino acid manufactured in brain cells from glutamate. This primary<br />
neurotransmitter, abundant in the cerebral cortex, increases the production of alpha waves (related to a relaxed, yet mentally<br />
focused state) while decreasing beta waves (associated with hyperactivity, nervousness, and fleeting thoughts). Sufficient<br />
GABA results in the smooth, calming, regular rhythmic flow of electrical impulses in the brain needed for emotional wellbeing.<br />
<strong>Supplement</strong>ation in humans has shown support for the maintenance of healthy cortisol and secretory IgA levels while under stress.*<br />
Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) Taurine exists mainly in free form in the intracellular space of tissues. This conditionally<br />
essential amino acid maintains cell volume via osmoregulation, which is the process that corrects excessive or insufficient<br />
concentrations of electrolytes. Taurine also stabilizes cell membranes in the heart and brain—two electrically active tissues.<br />
Considered neuroprotective, taurine modulates the ability of mitochondria to buffer intracellular calcium during glutamate<br />
depolarization and excitotoxicity (the means by which neurons are overstimulated and damaged) and, thereby, may prevent cell<br />
death. In addition to its antioxidant and cytokine-balancing functions, taurine is important to neurotransmission, neuroregulation,<br />
and cardiac function. Taurine supplementation also increases GABA.*<br />
L-Theanine (N-ethyl-L-glutamine) L-Theanine, provided as Suntheanine®, is protected by more than 40 US and international<br />
patents for its various physiological efficacies and L-isomer-specific production processes. A naturally-occurring, biologically<br />
active, free-form amino acid, L-theanine gives green tea its characteristic taste. Although notable for its relaxation support,<br />
L-theanine may also support nerve health and cognition. Theanine lowers glutamate levels by preventing transport of<br />
glutamate’s precursor, glutamine. It may also inhibit neurotransmission, cause inhibitory neurotransmission via glycine<br />
receptors, and thereby reduce neuronal overstimulation. [11] L-theanine’s ability to relax the mind without inducing drowsiness<br />
has been documented by an increase in alpha wave activity during EEG recording.*<br />
Magnesium sometimes referred to as the relaxation mineral and mainly found in the brain, bones, and muscles, magnesium<br />
assists in the transmission of nerve impulses and is essential to more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Magnesium<br />
supplementation has been shown to support a healthy mood, including during the menstrual cycle when mood changes are<br />
common.*<br />
More than one of the ingredients in Static Remover may support a healthy body weight and healthy hormone, lipid, insulin,<br />

SuperHero essentials<br />
TWICE DAILY SUPER POWER PACKS<br />
SuperHero Essential Packets are a convenient and effective solution to obtaining optimal amounts of the body’s foundational<br />
supplement needs. We have put our SuperHero Supreme Multi Vita/Min , Di-Calcium Malate, Magnesium and Ultimate Omega<br />
Balance in convenient SuperHero packets to make it simple to take the basics everyday. Instead of having to constantly check<br />
schedules and doses, patients can just carry along two of these packets each day to take with breakfast and dinner.<br />
Di-Calcium Malate and Heart Magnesium<br />
As a benefit, the calcium and magnesium are separate from the multivitamin in order for patients to get optimal amounts of these<br />
minerals. Both are bound to malic acid, for excellent absorption in the body. Malic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in<br />
apples and other fruits and vegetables; it helps to support energy production by playing a role in the process of deriving<br />
adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the energy currency that runs the body) from food.<br />
High Quality You Can Trust For Superior Nutrient Absorption<br />
Natures Nx’s SuperHero Supreme Multi Vita/Min in the SuperHero Essential Packets supply key nutrients in optimal doses, such as<br />
selenium, chromium, and B vitamins, and optimal forms such as high gamma tocopherol vitamin E and our proprietary<br />
NatureFolate blend of active isomer naturally-occurring folates. Ultimate Omega Balance is a combination omega-3-6-7-9<br />
product that provides balanced fatty acid support and contains lipase, the enzyme crucial to digestion and absorption of fatty acids.<br />

Superhero Supreme<br />
VITA / MIN<br />
A healthy diet of whole, unprocessed foods can provide the body with a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals.<br />
However, even the best diets are sometimes unable to keep up with our needs, especially during times of stress, illness,<br />
intense exercise, suboptimal digestion, or any other circumstances that increase our demand for nutrients. A highquality<br />
daily multivitamin helps ensure a good foundation for key nutrients that support overall health and wellbeing.<br />
Nature’s Nx’s Superhero Supreme contains a blend of vitamins and minerals that are difficult to obtain from food<br />
alone. This specially designed product includes chelated minerals from Albion Advanced Nutrition, the leader in mineral<br />
amino acid chelate nutrition. Chelated minerals are highly absorbable and bioavailable, which significantly increases<br />
the probability that the body will absorb and benefit from them. True chelates are not only better absorbed, but are also<br />
better retained by the body.<br />
Unique features of Superhero Supreme:<br />
• B Vitamins - required for efficient metabolism throughout the body and as coenzymes in a multitude of processes<br />
for physical and psychological health. In particular, the high amounts of B6, B12, and folate help maintain proper<br />
levels of homocysteine, an important marker for heart health.<br />
• Chromium - necessary for effective blood sugar control, which can be helpful for weight management and<br />
cardiovascular health. This mineral works synergistically with biotin, which also supports healthy carbohydrate<br />
and fat metabolism, and also promotes healthy hair and nails.<br />
• Vitamins C & E, and Alpha Lipoic Acid - antioxidant nutrients that enhance the immune system and help<br />
minimize the oxidative effects of everyday metabolic stressors. This product contains vitamin E as mixed<br />
tocopherols with a high percentage in the d-gamma form, which has been shown to be the most active of the<br />
vitamin E family.<br />
• Zinc - strengthens the immune system and aids in protein synthesis and proper appetite control.<br />
• Iodine and Selenium - support healthy thyroid function, thereby helping to maintain optimal energy levels and<br />
metabolic rate.<br />
• Boron - a trace element that is low in the modern food supply, but is required for healthy bones.<br />
Superhero Supreme does not include calcium or magnesium partly because it might require four to six or more capsules<br />
daily to get an appropriate dose of these minerals. Also, because dietary intake of these minerals varies significantly<br />
among people, it is prudent to tailor the dosage more closely to individual needs by working with a health care<br />
practitioner.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
Take two capsules per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Super Powder HF<br />
OPTIMIZE FLOW OF BLOOD AND OXYGEN TO PERIPHERAL TISSUES<br />
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by various body cells from the amino acid L-arginine through the enzymatic action of nitric<br />
oxide synthase (NOS). NO has critical roles in regulating the function of organs and systems throughout the body. It is<br />
well known that NO production by vascular endothelium plays a critical role in blood flow regulation and that the abnormal<br />
production of NO can adversely affect blood flow, delivery of nutrients and oxygen, and other vascular functions.<br />
L-Arginine is the principal substrate for the family of NOS enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of NO. Some of<br />
L-arginine’s benefits include support of immune response, ammonia detoxification, growth hormone secretion (during<br />
rest), improved exercise performance (at 6 g/d), wound healing, reduced platelet aggregation, and vasodilation.<br />
ADMA (asymmetric dimethylarginine) is a newly identified factor confronting cardiovascular health. As an endogenous<br />
NOS inhibitor, accumulation of ADMA impairs NO formation by competing with L-arginine for NOS binding. Under these<br />
conditions, supplementation with L-arginine may support maintenance of near-normal levels. New research also suggests<br />
that ADMA accumulation in oxidized low-density lipoproteins (OxLDL) may signal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)<br />
migration—which plays a critical role in the etiology of intimal thickening—and L-arginine markedly blocked ADMA-induced<br />
VSMC migration.<br />
L-Citrulline is a precursor to L-arginine that readily permeates the intestinal wall and enters the bloodstream. L-citrulline<br />
is processed by the kidney, where it is converted to L-arginine; and oral L-citrulline supplementation in humans has been<br />
shown to increase plasma L-arginine availability for NO synthesis. In an animal study, oral supplementation with “L-arginine,<br />
L-citrulline, and/or antioxidants (vitamins C and E) showed marked support of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and<br />
blood flow, maintenance of a healthy endothelium, and decrease in superoxide production and oxidation-sensitive gene<br />
expression …”<br />
Quercetin A major flavonoid naturally occurring in plants, quercetin has been shown in a study on mice using microarray<br />
DNA analyses and pathway analyses to inhibit LPS-induced expression of IL-1beta, IL-1alpha, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-12,<br />
iNOS, VCAM1, ICAM1, COX2, IL-1RA, TRAF1 and CD40. Experimental models suggest that quercetin prevents the<br />
redox imbalance associated with decreased intracellular NO levels and superoxide overproduction, and it prevents the<br />
overexpression of inducible NOS (iNOS).<br />
Folic Acid Research suggests that homocysteine may decrease the bioavailability of NO. Therefore, folate’s deleterious<br />
effect on homocysteine may provide the added benefit of increasing NO levels through enhancing NO bioavailability.<br />
Another role of folic acid in NO production relates to tetrahydrobiopterin (THBP, also known as BH4)—an essential cofactor<br />
for NOS. Inadequate folate may impair the synthesis of THBP, and 5-MTHF (bioactive folate) may normalize the activity<br />
of NOS in THBP-depleted endothelial cells. In a placebo-controlled study of patients receiving 400 mcg/d of folic acid for<br />
seven weeks before coronary artery bypass grafting, improved vascular function was observed and attributed to improved<br />
availability of THBP for NOS and reduced vascular oxidative stress.<br />
Vitamins C and E Free-radical injury reduces NO availability, and antioxidants appear to preserve NO. In addition, healthy<br />
endothelial function is associated with low oxidative stress, particularly decreased superoxide production and reduced<br />
oxidized LDL (OxLDL), which, if elevated, can reduce endothelium-derived NO activity. Vitamins C and E administration<br />
can reduce both superoxide and OxLDL, thereby improving NO activity. According to Heller et al, “The effect of alphatocopherol<br />
seems to be dependent on tissue saturation with ascorbic acid, and both vitamins may act synergistically to<br />
provide optimal conditions for endothelial NO formation.”<br />
Recommended Use<br />
Take once daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.<br />

SuperPunch Multi<br />
LIQUID MULTIVITAMIN<br />
The SuperPunch Multi contains a blend of Super Concentrated Sea Vegetables. Our unique processing system compresses the sea<br />
vegetables in order to concentrate them into supplement levels. No heat is used in the process. This maintains the nutrients in their<br />
original state. The Sea Vegetables are then blended with Aloe Vera juice, honey, fruit juice, and other natural nutrients like Vitamin<br />
C. The result is one of the most powerful nutritional supplements on the market today. All in one ounce, SuperPunch Multi contains<br />
vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and trace minerals.<br />
The Power of Sea Plants<br />
Why would anyone want to eat sea vegetables? Because sea vegetables offer the broadest range of vitamins & minerals of any food,<br />
containing virtually all the minerals found in the ocean–the same minerals that are found in human blood. Sea Vegetables are a very<br />
good source of the B-vitamin Folate, and magnesium, and a good source of iron, calcium, and the B-vitamins riboflavin and<br />
pantothenic acid. In addition, seaweeds contain good amounts of lignans.<br />
The Power of the Aloe Vera Plant<br />
Aloe vera has been known for thousands of years as a wonder plant associated with strong healing properties. Many institutes have<br />
studied the healing properties of Aloe Vera. One of them is the Science and Medicine Institute of Linus Pauling in California. Their<br />
research confirmed the beneficial effects of the consumption of Aloe Vera over the digestive system.<br />
Why take supplements in Liquid Form?<br />
The answer is simple. Liquid <strong>Supplement</strong>s have an absorption rate that is up to 10 times higher than in pill form. Your body simply<br />
has a harder time digesting pills. Pills also contain unwanted ingredients added in order to bind the pill together. Fillers and binding<br />
agents used in forming a pill can actually hinder the absorption rate. This greater bio-availability translates into two things: One, you<br />
get more of the nutrient you need so you benefit more...and two, you may also find that you benefit faster.<br />

TechnaZinc<br />
ZINC IS ESSENTIAL FOR GROWTH AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, AND<br />
FOR THE METABOLISM<br />
Adequate zinc levels are essential for the healthy functioning of every cell in our bodies. The beneficial effects of zinc are extensive<br />
because it is involved in so many enzyme and body functions. Zinc is essential for growthand physical development, and for the<br />
metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Most aspects ofreproduction in both males and females require zinc. This mineral is<br />
also vitally important to the immune system. Practically every enzyme reaction in the brain involves zinc and so does the<br />
development and function of the central nervous system. The highest concentrations of zinc are in the ear and eye. Some<br />
individuals are poor absorbers of this mineral but most cases of zinc deficiency are due to poor diet, chronic stress,vegetarianism, or<br />
excessive alcohol intake. Some deficiencies result from exposure to toxic metals, such ascadmium from cigarettes or excess copper<br />
from copper-lined tap water pipes.<br />
Severe deficiency is associated with skin changes, diarrhea, hair loss, mental disturbances, and recurrent infections as a result of<br />
impaired immune function. Marginal zinc deficiency may be manifested in poor wound healing, diabetes, prostate enlargement,<br />
cataracts, ulcers, food allergies, toxic metal accumulation, osteoporosis, decreased sense of taste or smell, skin disorders including<br />
acne, eczema, and psoriasis, and hearing impairments, and blood sugar imbalances.<br />
Alzheimer's Disease<br />
Zinc deficiency is a common nutrient deficiency in the elderly. Zinc deficiency may result in the destruction of nerve cells and the<br />
formation of plaquetangles found in Alzheimer's Disease. In one study, almost all Alzheimer's patients given zinc supplements<br />
showed improvement in memory, understanding, communication, and social contact.<br />
Diabetes/Insulin Resistance<br />
Zinc has the ability to balance blood sugar in the body. One study showed that lower consumption of dietary zinc and low serum<br />
zinc levels were associated with an increased prevalence of coronary artery disease and diabetes and several of their associated risk<br />
factors including hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia and other factors suggestive of mild insulin resistance. Zinc supplementation<br />
will assist the pancreas in manufacturing insulinand protect the insulin receptor sites on cell membranes that allow insulin to enter<br />
and do its job of metabolizing glucose. Zinc is important for ahealthy pregnancy and supplementation benefits women with<br />
gestational diabetes.<br />
Eating Disorder<br />
Poor dietary habits predispose teenagers to many mineral deficiencies, and insufficient zinc stores are associated with both anorexia<br />
and bulimia. In one study, anorexic women receiving zinc supplementation gained double the amount of body weight compared to<br />
those in the study that did notreceive zinc. Zinc also improves their desire to eat.<br />
Elevated Copper<br />
Copper elevation can result from a zinc deficiency. The zinc to copper ratio in the body needs to be a 15:1 balance. If one mineral<br />
is deficient the other gets elevated. Poor diet, vegetarianism, and certain lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking) can create zinc deficiency<br />
which can cause an elevation in copper. Ceruloplasminis a copper-binding protein needed for proper copper utilization. Unhealthy<br />
adrenal glands have difficulty making ceruloplasmin. This can be a major causeof copper build-up (unusable copper), or copper<br />
toxicity. Taking birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, and drinking tap water from copper-linedpipes can also lead to<br />
elevated copper and decreased zinc. This elevation in copper can lead to migraine headaches, damage to the eyes and possibly<br />
maculardegeneration, preeclampsia, breast cancer, lymphoma, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and chronic leukemia. Other<br />
symptoms of elevated copper areacne, adrenal insufficiency, anemia, PMS, mind racing, candida overgrowth, osteoarthritis, and viral<br />
infections.<br />
Vision, Taste, and Smell<br />
Zinc is essential for the maintenance of vision, taste, and smell. Night blindness often occurs because of zinc deficiency. Poor zinc<br />
status is prevalent among the elderly and loss of taste and smell is a common problem for this age group. <strong>Supplement</strong>ation with<br />
zinc can improve taste and smell in some of theseindividuals. Immune Health Zinc is involved in virtually every aspect of immunity.<br />
Zinc has antiviral activity, including activity against several viruses that cause the common cold.<br />
Immune Health<br />
Zinc is involved in virtually every aspect of immunity. Zinc has antiviral activity, including activity against several viruses that cause<br />
the common cold. A clinical study found that using zinc lozenges reduced cold symptoms from an average of seven days to four<br />
days. <strong>Supplement</strong>ation with zinc stimulates the manufacture of white blood cells, one of the immune system's tumor-fighting<br />
components, and generally supports the activities of other immune system activities such as, neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and<br />
natural tumor-fighting (NK) cells. Zinc is also required for producing thymulin, the major thymus hormone. A reduction of this<br />
thymus hormone leads to impaired immune function.<br />

Prostate Health<br />
Zinc supplementation has been shown to reduce the size of the prostate and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) due<br />
its critical involvement in the many aspects of hormone metabolism. BPH is reaching epidemic proportions among men over 50<br />
years of age and is tied to a lifetime of inadequate zinc intake. Frequent urge to urinate and other symptoms of an enlarged prostate<br />
diminish with zinc supplementation.<br />
Skin Health<br />
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of zinc in the treatment of acne. In a study of advanced acne in both men and<br />
women, zinc levels were significantly lower than those without acne. Although some see dramatic improvement with zinc<br />
supplementation the majority will not see results immediately. Weeks or months may pass before one sees a noticeable difference<br />
in the appearance of the skin.<br />
Sexual Health<br />
Although it has a reputation as a male nutrient, zinc is fundamental to the sexual and reproductive health of both genders. Zinc<br />
is required for fertility and in men is used in virtually every aspect of male reproduction, including hormone metabolism, sperm<br />
formation, and sperm motility. Zinc deficiency is characterized by decreased testosterone levels and sperm counts. Zinc levels are<br />
typically much lower in infertile men with low sperm counts. Infertile men receiving a supplement of zinc had an increase in both<br />
lower than normal testosterone levels and sperm count. In women, zinc deficiency can lead to many pregnancy-related problems,<br />
including spontaneous abortion, toxemia, premature births, low birth weight, growth retardation, and delivery problems.<br />
Stress<br />
Stress lowers zinc body stores and leaves one vulnerable to immune weakness, fertility problems, acne, depression and other<br />
symptoms of elevated copper, potential prostate problems and Alzheimer's. A great way to test zinc stores is to use Nature's Nx's<br />
liquid zinc (Zinc Challenge Liquid) as a way to gauge how much of the mineral is actually inside the body's cells. The test works<br />
because our sense of taste depends on zinc. Take a tablespoon of liquid zinc and swish it around in your mouth. If you immediately<br />
notice a metal taste, you are not deficient in zinc. However, if you taste nothing or have a delayed recognition of the taste, you need<br />
to replenish your zinc stores.<br />
How to take:<br />
1. No taste at all means very low zinc levels: Recommend 2-3 TechnaZincTM daily with food.<br />
2. A slight taste resembling hydrogen peroxide is noticed: Recommend 1 TechnaZincTM daily until strong taste develops.<br />
3. Strong, immediate metal taste is noticed: Zinc status is fine. No extra zinc supplementation is needed.<br />

The Chosen One<br />
HIGHLY BIOAVAILABLE CURCUMIN FORMULA FOR SUPERIOR ABSORPTION<br />
The Chosen One is a highly bioavailable formulation containing a unique combination of three health-promoting compounds<br />
known as “curcuminoids,” which are derived from turmeric root: namely, curcumin, bisdemethoxy curcumin, and demethoxy<br />
curcumin. This comprehensive product also contains turmeric oil.<br />
Turmeric is a bright yellow-orange spice popular as the main ingredient in Indian curry powders, and its high concentration of<br />
curcumin underlies the centuries-old use of this root in Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine. The three curcuminoids in this<br />
product are the strongest, most protective and best researched constituents of turmeric root.<br />
Naturally occurring turmeric root powder contains only 5-7% curcumin, while the blend in The Chosen One is formulated to contain<br />
70% curcumin (as part of a total of 95% curcuminoids). Thus, this product provides a much higher concentration of the active<br />
compounds than would typically be obtainable from food alone.<br />
HOW DOES The Chosen One OFFER SUPERIOR ABSORPTION?<br />
Curcumin is made up of a crystalline structure that makes it difficult for the body to absorb. To overcome this hurdle, The Chosen<br />
One is manufactured using an all-natural, patent pending process that helps to optimize the absorption of curcumin by the body.<br />
This delivery technology increases the absorption rate and reduces the absorption time for curcumin, and as a result, it may allow<br />
for superior effects through lower dosages.<br />
BENEFITS<br />
Healthy Inflammatory Response – Like other “warming<br />
spices,” such as ginger, cinnamon, and cayenne, turmeric’s<br />
complement of curcuminoids helps to support a healthy<br />
inflammatory response in the body.<br />
Immune Support – A wealth of scientific research supports<br />
the benefits of curcuminoid compounds for assisting with<br />
a healthy immune system, along with its antimicrobial and<br />
anti-viral effects.<br />
Antioxidant Properties – Curcumin is known to be a<br />
powerful antioxidant. The Chosen One is unique in that it<br />
increases levels of a major metabolite of curcumin, known as<br />
“tetrahydrocurcumin,” which has antioxidant effects greater<br />
than those of curcumin alone.<br />
THE CHOSEN ONE MAY HELP TO SUPPORT:<br />
• A healthy inflammatory response<br />
• Arthritis<br />
• GI health<br />
• Immune system<br />
• Endocrine system<br />
• Brain health<br />
• Cardiovascular system<br />
• Liver health<br />
HOW TO TAKE:<br />
• Take one softgel per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />
• Not recommended during pregnancy.<br />
• Individuals on blood thinning therapy, or anyone with gallstones, ulcers, and GI inflammatory conditions should be monitored<br />
closely by their physician.<br />

The Good Guys<br />
HELPS MAINTAIN A HEALTHY INTESTINAL MICROECOLOGY<br />
The Good Guys is a vegetarian, dairy- and gluten-free, four-strain probiotic totaling 100 billion CFU† per capsule.Each vegetarian<br />
capsule is sealed in nitrogen-purged aluminum blister packs to serve as protection from factorsproven to compromise the stability<br />
of probiotics such as heat, moisture, and oxygen. The Good Guys providesfour researched strains of beneficial bacteria, including<br />
the extensively studied HN019 strain of Bifidobacteriumlactis. These live microorganisms have proven health benefits and<br />
well-established safety, and have been testedfor epithelial cell adhesion and/or resistance to low pH.<br />
<strong>Supplement</strong>ation with probiotics has many mechanisms of action that benefit health, including but not limited to: (1) supporting<br />
metabolicactivity, such as the production of short-chain fatty acids and vitamins, nutrient absorption, and digestion of lactose; (2)<br />
adhering to intestinalepithelial cells to help maintain a healthy balance of organisms in the intestinal tract; (3) helping to establish<br />
populations of good bacteria after disruption in balance; (4) supporting immune function; (5) promoting intestinal epithelial cell<br />
survival; (6) supporting healthy bowel function; and (7) degrading oxalates.<br />
Common challenges associated with probiotic supplementation are maintaining stability of the organisms during distribution and<br />
shelf lifeand, once taken by a consumer, survival of the organisms as they travel through the digestive tract so that they reach the<br />
target tissue(intestines) alive. To help ensure stability, Nature’s Nx, LLC. packages the The Good Guys capsules in sealed,<br />
nitrogen-purged aluminumblister packs to serve as protection from factors proven to compromise the stability of probiotics, such<br />
as heat, moisture, and oxygen. Carefulselection of organisms is another way Nature’s Nx, LLC. helps ensure stability. Careful<br />
organism selection, as performed for The GoodGuys, is also a critical aspect of supporting digestive survival. To further support<br />
resistance to low pH and the delivery of microorganismsto the small intestines, Nature’s Nx, LLC. employs DRcaps gastro-resistant<br />
capsules. These specially designed, innovative capsules helpslow exposure of actives to stomach acid to promote a more targeted<br />
release.<br />
HOWARU (Bifidobacterium lactis HN019) Discovered in <strong>18</strong>99, B lactis play a key role in the human microflora throughout a<br />
person’slife. Researchers have identified strain HN019 as having excellent probiotic potential based upon its ability to survive the<br />
transit through thehuman gastrointestinal tract, adhere to epithelial cells, and proliferate. B lactis HN019 has been extensively<br />
studied, and its safety andeffectiveness is well accepted. To assess the impact of Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 supplementation on<br />
whole-gut transit time in adults,100 subjects were given daily doses for 14 days of 17.2 billion colony-forming units (CFU), 1.8 billion<br />
CFU, or placebo. Decreases in meanwhole-gut transit time over the 14-day study period were statistically significant in the<br />
high-dose group and the low-dose group, but not inthe placebo group. This level of dosing also supported other parameters of<br />
healthy GI function, as were self-reported by patient survey. In another study of preschool-age children, supplementing milk for<br />
one year with 1.9 x 10 CFU per day B lactis HN019 and 2.4 g/day ofprebiotic oligosaccharides supported both healthy iron status<br />
and weight gain. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled humandietary intervention study in elderly subjects (>60 yrs.),<br />
supplementary B lactis HN019 resulted in statistically significant increases in thebeneficial organisms bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.<br />
Lactobacillus acidophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14) This common inhabitant of the human mouth, intestinal tract, and<br />
vagina,is also found in some traditional fermented milks (e.g., kefir) and is widely used in probiotic foods and supplements. It has a<br />
history of safehuman consumption. The L acidophilus La-14 strain is of human origin and has been identified as a type A1 L<br />
acidophilus. L acidophilusshows excellent adhesion to human epithelial cell-lines.<br />
Lactobacillus plantarum (Lactobacillus plantarum Lp-115) This bacteria was isolated from plant material and is abundantly<br />
presentin lactic acid-fermented foods, such as olives and sauerkraut. In vitro studies have shown that L plantarum strain Lp-115 has<br />
excellentadhesion to epithelial cell lines. In addition, L plantarum is resistant to low pH conditions and survives the presence of bile<br />
at duodenalconcentrations.<br />
Bifidobacterium longum (Bifidobacterium longum Bl-05) The B longum Bl-05 strain is well accepted as safe for human<br />
consumption.B longum is resistant to low pH and bile salts and is well suited to the intestinal environment.<br />

The Electrician<br />
NATURAL SUPPORT FOR COGNITION, MOOD, MEMORY,<br />
AND FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH COGNITIVE DEFICITS<br />
The Electrician supplies herbs and extracts that have been shown to work through a variety of mechanisms including<br />
acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, enhancing nerve impulse transmission, aiding in the repair of damaged neurons, and<br />
decreasing Aβ protein aggregation, among others; which help to support those with cognitive impairments, such as Alzheimer’s<br />
disease and vascular dementia.<br />
The Electrician may help support overall brain health in those with the following:<br />
• Cognitive dysfunction • Vascular dementia • Alzheimer’s disease<br />
• Suboptimal learning performance • Memory deficits<br />
Highlights<br />
Huperzine A (HupA) is a naturally-occurring alkaloid compound found in the club moss Huperzia serrata, which upon ingestion<br />
acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. The deficiency in cholinergic neurotransmission in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), among other<br />
mechanisms, can lead to symptoms of this disease. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors act to increase available acetylcholine through<br />
the inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Improved cholinergic neurotransmission can manifest in stabilization or a<br />
less than expected decline in cognition, function and behavior.<br />
Bacopa monnieri is a well-known and frequently used remedy in India and has been used as a nerve tonic in Ayurvedic medicine<br />
since the 6th century. It is described as “enhancing the mind” and is considered to promote improved mental function. As such, most<br />
modern research has focused on the mechanisms behind these properties. Active compounds, including triterpenoid saponins<br />
and their bacosides, are responsible for bacopa’s ability to enhance nerve impulse transmission. The bacosides aid in the repair of<br />
damaged neurons by enhancing protein kinase activity, neuronal synthesis, reduction of beta amyloid levels, restoration of synaptic<br />
activity, and ultimately the improvement of nerve impulse transmission.<br />
In human trials Bacopa monnieri has demonstrated improvements in various parameters of cognitive function in patients<br />
with Alzheimer’s disease, including orientation of place, time and person, reading comprehension, and other parameters<br />
of memory, attention and mood.15 In healthy older adults Bacopa was also shown to improve various markers of cognitive<br />
function.<br />
Vinpocetine is a highly potent vasodilator, acting by direct relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle. Vinpocetine enhances cerebral<br />
blood flow in patients with cerebrovascular disorders. Vinpocetine has been shown to cross the blood brain barrier, protect<br />
neurons from the toxicity of glutamate and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA), decrease platelet and red blood cell aggregation, and<br />
increase red blood cell membrane flexibility in stroke patients as well as in healthy subjects. In those patients suffering from mild to<br />
moderate vascular dementia, vinpocetine benefited memory, learning, and global clinical measures of cognitive performance.<br />
In three studies of older adults with memory problems associated with poor brain circulation or dementia-related disease,<br />
vinpocetine produced significantly more improvement than a placebo in performance on global cognitive tests reflecting<br />
attention, concentration, and memory.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />

Thyro Balance<br />
FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR THYROID<br />
The thyroid is one of the body’s main glands. It is responsible for regulating the body’s metabolism and energy<br />
production, which affects virtually every tissue and cell. Your body relies on the thyroid gland for fat burning and sugar<br />
metabolism; it also affects brain development, bone metabolism, and skin, hair, eyes, heart and intestinal function.<br />
Like all of our glands, the thyroid needs supportive nutrients from food or supplements to act as raw ingredient<br />
precursors for it to function properly. The pituitary gland produces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is needed<br />
in order to give thyroid cells the message to make thyroxine. Thyroxine, known as T4, needs to be converted into active<br />
triiodothyronine, or T3. In order for this conversion to happen successfully, not only must the appropriate precursors<br />
and coenzymes be available, but proper levels of the critical hormones cortisol and insulin must also be maintained.<br />
Cortisol is our stress-fighting hormone, while insulin is needed to regulate sugar metabolism.<br />
Highlights of ThyroBalance<br />
• American Ginseng root – Helps maintain healthy cortisol, blood glucose and insulin levels, along with a balanced<br />
conversion of thyroid hormone.<br />
• Coleus Forskohlii extract – Promotes the proper function of TSH, which stimulates the synthesis and secretion of<br />
T3 and T4 thyroid hormones. This herb also supports the normal breakdown of body fat to use as energy.<br />
• Selenium – This mineral is a key constituent in the conversion of T4 to the more active T3. Additionally, selenium<br />
supports the generation of a very powerful antioxidant known as glutathione peroxidase, and reduces the effects<br />
of free radicals and mercury to the thyroid gland.<br />
• Potassium Iodine – Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones and is necessary for normal thyroid<br />
function. If the body is deficient in iodine, the thyroid will have trouble making enough thyroid hormone. Potassium<br />
is included as it is necessary for getting thyroid hormones into our cells, and is also very energizing.<br />
• Tyrosine and Copper – Support the production of “feel good” compounds such as dopamine and norepinephrine,<br />
which promote a level, stable mood.<br />
• Chromium, Zinc and Manganese – These minerals are needed for support of the thyroid gland by maintaining<br />
healthy insulin, glucose and cholesterol levels.<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take two capsules per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Ultimate Omega balance<br />
COMPREHENSIVE FORMULATION OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS<br />
Ultimate Omega Balance is composed of a unique blend of omega 3-6-7-9 essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs may very well be the<br />
single most important dietary supplement for promoting optimal health, as they support heart health, normal cholesterol and<br />
triglyceride levels, immune system function, brain health, joint mobility, beautiful skin and hair, and a healthy modulation of the<br />
inflammatory response.<br />
The omega-3 fatty acids in this product are derived from fish oils in their natural triglyceride (TG) form —the same way they<br />
naturally occur in fish. Most mass-marketed fish oil supplements come in the ethyl ester (EE) form. Compared to the TG form, the EE<br />
form is less expensive and more convenient to produce, but is not as readily recognized, digested and assimilated by the body. In<br />
order to receive the maximum benefits from omega-3 fish oil supplementation, it is critical that these fats are provided to the body<br />
in the same form that they are found naturally in fish. It is only when consumed in this natural TG form that they are most easily<br />
digested and available for the body to use. This TG advantage is especially effective at promoting healthy omega-3 levels in the<br />
body.<br />
This omega 3-6-7-9 formulation consists of:<br />
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids<br />
- Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) –beneficial for supporting a healthy brain, balanced emotions, skin health, normal<br />
cholesterol levels, and a proper inflammatory response<br />
- Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) – supports proper brain development and function, visual acuity, maintenance of<br />
normal triglyceride levels and blood pressure, eye development and a healthy pregnancy for expectant mothers<br />
• Omega-6 Fatty Acids<br />
- Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) from the oil of borage seeds – essential for smooth and healthy skin, and female<br />
hormonal balance<br />
• Omega-7 and Omega-9 Fatty Acids<br />
- Stearidonic Acid and Oleic Acid from organic virgin macadamia nut oil – these oils are touted for their ability to<br />
support healthy hair, skin and nails, as well as a healthy immune system and balanced blood sugar levels<br />
Additional Highlights<br />
• Lipase – enzyme for enhanced digestion and absorption of fish oils<br />
• Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) – to prevent the fish oils from going rancid<br />
• Fish oils are molecularly distilled and filtered to ensure purity and to maximize the removal of metals, pesticides, PCBs and<br />
other contaminants<br />
Recommended Use<br />
As a dietary supplement, take two softgels per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.<br />

Varsi-T<br />
SUPPORT HEALTHY TESTOSTERONE LEVELS<br />
The effectiveness of Varsi-T’s ability to increase testosterone levels has been evaluated by laboratory analyses. Chief among this<br />
formula’s benefits over pharmaceutical grade testosterone is that salivary assays following the use of Varsi-T at the recommended<br />
dose did not show an increase in estradiol or dihydrotestosterone. This conversion is likely inhibited by the rich content of apigenins<br />
which are among the 28 kinds of flavonoids present in the Green oats (Swiss Oats A111). Traditionally used for prostate health,<br />
nettle may have some association with sex hormone binding globulin and aromatase. Sea buckthorn contains lignans. Lignans<br />
block aromatase and 5- alpha reductase, sparing testosterone. Oats, nettle and buckthorn are known to contain neurotransmitters<br />
that improve mood.*<br />
As men age, testosterone levels decrease by approximately 1-2% annually. Lower levels of this hormone have been associated with<br />
a decline in libido, weaker erections and/or a decreased ability to become erect, lack of energy, less strength &/or endurance, loss<br />
of height, decreased enjoyment in life, being sad or grumpy, less ability to play sports, falling asleep after dinner or decreased work<br />
performance. Five percent of males aged 40-50 years and perhaps as many as 70% of men over 70 years are confronted by these<br />
problems known clinically as “hypogonadism” and also referred to as “Andropause”.*<br />
The majority of testosterone (approximately 60%) is bound to sex hormone binding globulin. Of that considered bioavailable and<br />
the best indicator of male androgen status, approximately 38% is weakly bound to albumin and the remaining approximate two<br />
percent is known as “free” testosterone.*<br />
Against a background of earlier studies with Swiss Oats A111 that showed significant increases in free testosterone levels and<br />
significant improvement in andropausal symptoms, Natures Nx, in partnership with Aeron Life Cycles Clinical Laboratory® confirmed<br />
the efficacy of Varsi-T in a small study. The ADAM screening questionnaire (Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male) was<br />
administered for a baseline assessment of symptoms and repeated after one month. Saliva bioavailable testosterone was measured<br />
before and after supplementation by the Aeron SBA-T Assay. Extensive circadian testing was used to confirm a 24-hour pattern of<br />
reduced testosterone output before supplementation, followed by an increase in bioavailable testosterone after two weeks of<br />
uninterrupted supplementation with Varsi-T. Measurement of salivary testosterone after further supplementation confirmed<br />
increased levels in those men who had low levels prior to using the formula. Follow-up ADAM tests scores demonstrated<br />
symptomatic improvements.*<br />
How to take:<br />
Take four capsules with 8 oz of water once a day, upon waking, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.<br />
Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use. Individuals taking medication should discuss potential interactions with their<br />
healthcare practitioner. Do not use if tamper seal is damaged.<br />

Vitamin b Supreme<br />
COMPREHENSIVE B VITAMIN FORMULA<br />
Vitamin B Supreme is a combination of the eight vitamins which form the B complex, with added choline and trimethylglycine.<br />
Working together as a team, the B vitamins are critical nutrients that act as required ‘keys’ to unlock the potential of various<br />
enzymatic reactions in the body and thus, support a healthy metabolism. The modern refined diet is high in sugar, alcohol,<br />
and devitalized foods which lead to lower levels of B vitamins. Stress, many medications and the aging process may also lower<br />
B vitamin levels. Without adequate B vitamins, many of the body’s chemical processes become slow and inefficient.<br />
Health Benefits of Vitamin B Supreme<br />
• Supports energy production by helping the body properly utilize amino acids, fats and carbohydrates<br />
• Encourages optimal mental health, brain activity and feelings of well-being<br />
• Essential for sustaining a healthy metabolism (the chemical processes of the body)<br />
• Helps balance female hormones, especially during pregnancy, menstruation or other key phases in a woman’s life<br />
• Supports healthy neurological development in babies and during pregnancy<br />
• Promotes the production and maintenance of healthy blood cells and joints<br />
• Supports a strong immune system<br />
• Assists with the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels<br />
• Possesses antioxidant properties, thus helps fight damage to cell membranes<br />
Featuring Pre-activated B Vitamins<br />
This unique formulation possesses pre-activated forms of B vitamins, where appropriate, in order to ensure immediate<br />
integration into the chemical processes of the body. Added choline and trimethylglycine allows the body to fully utilize the B<br />
vitamins in a way that will maximize their potential and thereby support optimal health.<br />
Concern has been raised in the scientific community regarding the potentially high-intake of synthetic folic acid from the<br />
consumption of fortified foods. For this reason, Vitamin B Supreme does not contain any folic acid, but instead includes<br />
NatureFolate, a blend of safe, naturally occurring folates that are found in foods such as eggs and spinach and are immediately<br />
‘active’ and bioavailable to the human body.<br />
Recommended Use:<br />
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care<br />
practitioner.<br />
Vitamin B Supreme Contraindications<br />
• Niacin and Niacinamide: Avoid both of these forms in high doses if you have jaundice, heart conditions including<br />
angina and rheumatic heart disease, ulcers, gastritis, renal failure, or gout.<br />
• Vitamin B6: Do not take B6 with the drug levodopa, as it can inactivate it. Lactating women should not take more than<br />
50 mg of B6 per day, as higher doses may suppress lactation.<br />
• Folate: Avoid folate (and folic acid supplements) when taking the drug methotrexate.<br />

Vitamin E Complete<br />
OFFERS ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION FOR CELL MEMBRANES AND LIPIDS<br />
Vitamin E, in its natural form, comprises eight different compounds: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherols and alpha-,<br />
beta-,gamma-, and delta-tocotrienols. Both tocopherols and tocotrienols are important to human health. Known as the “master<br />
antioxidant,” vitamin E has the ability to attenuate oxidative stress, and its antioxidant-related effects on various organs and<br />
systems have been the focus of vast research. More recently, non-antioxidant mechanisms have been proposed, such as those that<br />
affect cell-signal transduction and gene expression. Though the vast majority of research has been on alpha-tocopherol, recent<br />
mechanistic studies indicate that other isomers of vitamin E, such as gamma- and delta-tocopherols and tocotrienols, have superior<br />
antioxidant and cell-signaling properties that offer greater health benefits.*<br />
Tocotrienols<br />
Studies have demonstrated that tocotrienols have superior antioxidant activity compared to tocopherols. Tocotrienols also exhibit<br />
biological activities related to neuroprotection, radioprotection, cell-life regulation, cytokine modulation, and lipid metabolism that<br />
are not shared by tocopherols. Many of these benefits are thought to be mediated via their carboxychromanol metabolites. Among<br />
other actions, tocotrienols have been shown to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase),<br />
attenuate transcription factor NF-κB activation, and inhibit COX-2. Given these mechanisms, in addition to their antioxidant<br />
mechanisms, tocotrienols have a very broad range of applications. Due to the poor absorption and low bio-availability of<br />
tocotrienols, scientists developed EVNol SupraBio.*<br />
EVNol SupraBio: Bio-enhanced tocotrienol/tocopherol complex<br />
EVNol SupraBio is a natural, full-spectrum tocopherol and tocotrienol complex extracted and concentrated from the red palm fruits<br />
(Elaeis guineensis) of sustainable plantations in Peninsular Malaysia. This vitamin E complex also contains minute amounts of other<br />
phytonutrients such as plant squalene, phytosterols, coenzyme Q10, and mixed carotenoids that are naturally extracted together<br />
with tocotrienols. This patented formula contains a precise mixture of oil and approved food emulsifiers at optimum ratio and<br />
processing that self-emulsifies in the gastrointestinal tract to facilitate and provide a rapid and consistent absorption of tocotrienols<br />
into the plasma, independent of dietary fat or food intake.*<br />
EVNol SupraBio Human Absorption Studies<br />
Kholsa et al were the first to establish that oral supplementation of EVNol SupraBio resulted in a peak plasma level 12- to 13-fold the<br />
level established for neuroprotection. Later, in a two-period, two-sequence, crossover study performed in healthy human<br />
volunteers, researchers demonstrated that the SupraBio system increased the rate and extent of absorption of individual<br />
tocotrienols by an average of 250% compared to a regular tocotrienol oil extract. Moreover, EVNol Suprabio is the only<br />
tocotrienol/tocopherol complex in the market that has been the subject of an actual human tissue distribution study. In that study,<br />
Patel et al demonstrated that orally supplemented tocotrienols from EVNol SupraBio are absorbed into plasma and delivered and<br />
accumulated in vital organs, including the brain.*<br />
EVNol SupraBio Human Clinical Studies<br />
EVNol SupraBio is a heavily researched tocopherol/tocotrienol product that has been scientifically substantiated with human clinical<br />
studies on brain health, liver support, beauty, and cardiovascular health. For example, in a randomized, placebo-controlled,<br />
two-year neuroprotection study (n = 121), supplementation with 200 mg/d EVNol SupraBio attenuated the progression of injury<br />
to brain white matter. Three other studies demonstrated the positive effects of EVNol SupraBio on parameters of liver health, and<br />
studies related to cardiovascular health suggested that 50-200 mg/d EVNol SupraBio supports healthy lipid (cholesterol, low-density<br />
lipoprotein, triglyceride) metabolism and showed a trend toward improved arterial compliance (the ability to expand and contract).<br />
<strong>Supplement</strong>ation has also been shown to support the desired immune response to vaccine. And in a randomized, double-blind,<br />
placebo-controlled trial (n = 38), volunteers with hair loss who were given 100 mg of EVNol SupraBio daily experienced a 34.5%<br />
increase in number of hairs at the end of eight months, compared to a 0.1% increase in the placebo group. The higher activity of<br />
tocotrienols in certain organs may, in part, be explained by the fact that the unsaturated side-chain of tocotrienols allow more<br />
efficient penetration into tissues, such as brain and liver tissues, that have saturated fatty layers.*<br />
It is clear from the emerging data that tocopherols and tocotrienols have complementary, unique, and important functions.<br />
Providing a formula that supplies the full spectrum of natural vitamin E isomers is an important option for practitioners and their<br />
patients.*<br />
How to take:<br />
Take one softgel twice daily, or use as directed by your healthcare practitioner.<br />
