Vitamin C:
Vitamin C is a plant vitamin, occurring to some degree in almost all plants. The body neither makes nor stores vitamin C and a continuous supply must be provided in the food we eat. Normal body cell functioning requires ascorbic acid, as does the formation of healthy collagen (the basic protein of connective tissue), bones, teeth, cartilage, skin, and capillary walls. Vitamin C also promotes the body's effective use of other nutrients, such as iron, B vitamins, vitamins A and E, calcium, and certain amino acids. By promoting the formation of strong connective tissue, it helps to heal wounds and burns. Stress, fever, and infection increase the body's need for vitamin C. Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency disease. Ascorbic acid is water-soluble and is sensitive to air, heat, light, alkalis, and copperware.
Vitamin C is essential for healthy teeth, gums and bones, helps heal wounds, scar tissue, and fractures, prevents scurvy, builds resistance to infection, aids in the prevention and treatment of the common cold, gives strength to blood vessels, aids in the absorption of iron. It is required for the synthesis of collagen, the intercellular "cement" which holds tissues together. It is also one of the major antioxidant nutrients. It prevents the conversion of nitrates (from tobacco smoke, smog, bacon, lunch meats, and some vegetables) into cancer-causing substances. According to Dr. Linus Pauling, the foremost authority on Vitamin C, Vitamin C can decrease the risk of getting certain cancers by 75%.
Vitamin C is also known as L-ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, the antiscorbutic vitamin, L-xyloascorbic acid and L-threo-hex-2-uronic acidy-lactone. Because vitamin C is a biological reducing agent, it is also linked to prevention of degenerative diseases such as cataracts, certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Ascorbic acid also promotes healthy cell development, proper calcium absorption, normal tissue growth and repair such as the healing of wounds and burns. It assists in the prevention of blood clotting and bruising, and the strengthening the walls of the capillaries. Vitamin C is needed for healthy gums, to help protect against infection, assisting in clearing up infections and is thought to enhance the immune system and help reduce cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and preventing arteriosclerosis.
Vitamin C is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is necessary to form collagen, an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which are by-products that result when our bodies transform food into energy. The build up of these by-products over time is largely responsible for the aging process and can contribute to the development of various health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and a host of inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Antioxidants also help reduce the damage to the body caused by toxic chemicals and pollutants such as cigarette smoke. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to dry and splitting hair; gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and bleeding gums; rough, dry, scaly skin; decreased wound-healing rate, easy bruising; nosebleeds; weakened enamel of the teeth; swollen and painful joints; anemia; decreased ability to ward off infection; and, possibly, weight gain because of slowed metabolic rate and energy expenditure. A severe form of vitamin C deficiency is known as scurvy, which mainly affects older, malnourished adults. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)
Thiamin, also called Vitamin B1, is used in many different body functions and to alleviate many physiological deficiencies. Yet, very little of this vitamin is actually stored in the body, and complete depletion of this vitamin can happen in as quickly as 14 days! Thiamin is a miraculous nutrient. Thiamin may enhance circulation, helps with blood formation and the metabolism of carbohydrates and it assists in combating arthritis, cataracts as well as infertility. It is also required for the health of the nervous system and is used in the biosynthesis of a number of cell constituents, including the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is used in the manufacture of hydrochloric acid, and therefore plays an important part in digestion. It is also great for the brain and may help to alleviate depression and assist with memory and learning. In children, it is required for proper growth.
Vitamin A (Retinol)
Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, plays essential roles in vision, growth, and development; the development and maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes; immune functions; and reproduction.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Vitamin B2, commonly called riboflavin, is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins. Like its close relative vitamin B1 (thiamine), riboflavin plays a crucial role in certain metabolic reactions, particularly the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar that is "burned" within the cells to produce energy. Together, the eight B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, are essential in the breakdown of fats and protein. In addition, B complex vitamins play an important role in maintaining muscle tone along the lining of the digestive tract and promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. In addition to producing energy for the body, riboflavin also works as an antioxidant by scavenging damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. These particles occur naturally in the body but can damage cell membranes, interact with genetic material, and possibly contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants such as riboflavin can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause. Unlike other B vitamins, riboflavin is not found in many foods, so the most common cause of deficiency is lack of dietary intake, especially in the elderly. Symptoms of riboflavin deficiency include fatigue; slowed growth; digestive problems; cracks and sores around the corners of the mouth; swollen magenta tongue; eye fatigue; soreness of the lips, mouth and tongue; and sensitivity to light. Riboflavin is an important nutrient in the prevention of headache and some visual disturbances, particularly cataracts.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Niacin, also called nicotinic acid or niacinamide, is often referred to as vitamin B3. Niacin is derived from two compounds - nicotinic acid and niacinamide. Vitamin B3 is required for cell respiration, helps in the release of energy and in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, promotes proper circulation and healthy skin, improves the functioning of the nervous system, and establishes the normal secretion of bile and stomach fluids. Niacin is used in the synthesis of sex hormones, and has been used in treating schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Niacin is an excellent memory-enhancer.
Vitamin B3, is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose (sugar), which is "burned" to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, are essential in the breakdown of fats and protein. B complex vitamins also play an important role in maintaining muscle tone along the digestive tract and promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. Niacin plays an important role in ridding the body of toxic and harmful chemicals. It also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins. The B vitamins help the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose (sugar), which is "burned" to produce energy. These vitamins, often referred to as the B complex, are also essential in the metabolism of fats and protein. B complex vitamins also play an important role in maintaining muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract and promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. Vitamins B12, B6, and B9 (folic acid) work closely together to control blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine. Elevated levels of this substance appear to be linked to heart disease. Plus, Vitamin B6 is essential for normal brain development and function, participating in the process of making important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters.
Pyridoxine is an especially important vitamin for maintaining healthy nerve and muscle cells and it aids in the production of DNA and RNA, the body's genetic material. It is necessary for proper absorption of vitamin B12 and for the production of red blood cells and cells of the immune system. Pyridoxine has also been called the "woman's vitamin" because it may help relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In addition to other B complex vitamins, pyridoxine is considered an "anti-stress" vitamin because it is believed to enhance the activity of the immune system and improve the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions. Symptoms of pyridoxine deficiency include muscle weakness, nervousness, irritability, depression, difficulty concentrating, and short-term memory loss.
Pyridoxine is required for the balancing of hormonal changes in women as well as assisting the immune system and the growth of new cells. It is also used in the processing and metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, while assisting with controlling your mood as well as your behavior. Pyridoxine might also be of benefit for children with learning difficulties, as well as assisting in the prevention of dandruff, eczema and psoriasis. It is further linked to cancer immunity and fights the formation of the toxic chemical homocysteine, which is detrimental to the heart muscle.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 rejuvenates and energizes the body. A lack of B12 is linked to mental confusion, irritability, decreased reflex responses, anemia, weakness, impaired touch or pain perception. B12 also is effective in minimizing or nullifying allergic reactions in many individuals. Vitamin B12 is a member of the vitamin B complex. It contains cobalt, and so is also known as cobalamin. It is exclusively synthesised by bacteria and is found primarily in meat, eggs and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of red blood cells, the maintenance of the nervous system, and growth and development in children. Deficiency can cause anaemia. Vitamin B12 deficiency, involving the degeneration of nerve fibers and irreversible neurological damage, can also occur. Symptoms of B12 deficiency include excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, pallor, and poor resistance to infection. Other symptoms can include a smooth, sore tongue and menstrual disorders.
CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 (or ubiquinol) is an antioxidant similar to Vitamin E. It plays a crucial role in generating cellular energy, helps to stimulate our immune system, increases circulation, and has anti-aging properties. This remarkable antioxidant has become synonymous with increasing cellular energy. Many studies have shown that it has value in combating various forms of cardiovascular disease, reducing the number and size of some tumors and treating gum disease. In fact, according to the newsletter Nutrition News, it has extended the life span of laboratory animals up to 56%. Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble vitamin-like substance present in every cell of the body and CoQ10 serves as a coenzyme for several of the key enzymatic steps in the production of energy within the cell. It aids in circulation, stimulates the immune system, increases tissue oxygenation, and has vital anti-aging effects. Coenzyme Q10 also functions as a very active and potent antioxidant that is important in its clinical benefits. CoQ10 is used in both BIO2’s nutriceutical and cosmeceutical formulations. Studies show that it can effectively counteract free radical damage and provide significant protection against UVA-induced depletion of cell membrane. In other words, it will prevent damage to collagen and elastin production process and help you avoid wrinkles.
Lycium
(Gou Zi Zi)
Lycium Berry Extract (Lycium barbarum) Is also called Chinese wolfberry extract. It is a bright red, almost chewy berry with a taste very similar to Raisins. It has been used as a general nutrient tonic (Yin tonic) for thousands of years and Chinese medicine refers to it as a "cooling tonic". Historical uses claims it helps to maintain healthy immune system, improves eye conditions, supports healthy liver function, and maintains healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It is also excellent in providing antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.
Astragalus Root Extract
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) has been described in Chinese medicine texts dating back to around 100 AD. The Chinese value astragalus as a tonic for strengthening the body’s resistance to disease. This yellow plant has long been used for treating night sweats, fatigue, and diarrhea. Astragalus contains flavonoids, polysaccharides, glycosides, amino acids, and trace minerals. It is effective as a diuretic, and may be helpful in the treatment of heart disease. Astragalus is an adaptogen, that is, it has a balancing effect on bodily functions. Astragalus is used by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine to strengthen or tone the body's overall vitality, improve digestion, and support the spleen. Studies confirm it contains medicinally active compounds, including a polysaccharide that stimulates the immune system. Research has also shown that subjects with advanced cancer showed a two to three fold increase in the strength of their immune response after being given astragalus. A second study showed that astragalus boosted immune response, even in animals that were treated with an immunosuppressive drug, cyclophosphamide. Astragalus is taken in
Jujube Fruit Extract
The jujube (pronounced juh-ju-bee or juh-juh-bee) is a member of the buckthorn family, or Rhamnaceae. Its botanical name is Ziziphus zizyphus (formerly Zizyphus jujuba ), and its common name is jujube, The Jujube tree originated in
Garcinia Cambogia Extract
Garcinia cambogia extract inhibits the conversion of excess calories to fat, promotes the burning of fats in the liver. Garcinia also curbs the appetite. When more calories are consumed than are needed by the body for energy expenditures at any given moment, the excess calories are first converted into glycogen. Glycogen is a type of carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and muscles. When these stores reach their capacity, the excess calories are then converted to fat by a particular enzyme. Garcinia blocks this enzyme, causing excess calories to continue to be converted to glycogen. As the glycogen stores are filled up, the liver sends a feedback signal to the brain which causes appetite suppression—the liver is in effect trying to stop the flow of calories into the body which it's having a hard time storing. There is usually an increase in energy level also, since the body wants to burn up the extra glycogen. Garcinia also increases fat burning by blocking an enzyme inhibitor that puts the brakes on the liver's ability to burn fats. Garcinia thus enables this enzyme, carnitine acyltransferase, to continue to transport fatty acids to the liver to be burned.
Eleuthero Root Extract
Eleuthero use dates back 2,000 years, according to Chinese medicinal records. It was believed to provide energy and vitality. In more modern times, eleuthero has been used to increase stamina and endurance in Soviet Olympic athletes. Russian explorers, divers, sailors, and miners also used eleuthero to prevent stress-related illness. Historically it has been used to strengthen the bodies systems, increase endurance, energy & mental alertness. It has been known to regulate low blood pressure, improve circulation, low blood sugar, reduce fatigue and is a tonic for stress support.
Noni Fruit Extract
Noni is a fruit much like a pineapple in shape. This herb from the South Pacific has been used for more than 2000 years to help a variety of modern ailments. In native cultures of
Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Gel Extract
Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Concentrate is rich in complex sugars known as mucopolysaccharides. Mucopolysaccharides are very effective intracellular antioxidants and free radical scavengers. Aloe vera also supports the immune system. Additionally, Aloe vera profoundly stimulates epidermal tissue regeneration. The epidermis is the skin’s outermost layer, and is directly exposed to the outside world. By stimulating the epidermal cells to replicate (reproduce) more quickly, Aloe vera greatly enhances healing, repair and regeneration of the skin and body tissues.
Aloe gel has been used for topical treatment of wounds, minor burns, and skin irritations for centuries. American consumers are most familiar with aloe's use in skin-care products, but aloe can also be used as a beverage. Aloe products for internal use have been promoted for constipation, coughs, wounds, ulcers, diabetes, cancer, headaches, arthritis, immune-system deficiencies, and many other conditions.
We now know that one of alo vera’s active ingredients is the complex carbohydrate called "acemannan". This ingredient has been shown to be an effective treatment for several forms of viruses and it also enhances the capabilities of the immune system. Acemannan’s exact mode of action isn’t yet fully understood. Research shows, however, that it activates several types of white blood cells within the immune system. It plays a role to increase amounts of tumor necrosis factor, gamma interferon and interleukin 1, all of which increase the body’s ability to destroy viruses, bacteria and tumor cells.
Astaxanthin Extract (Haematococcus pluvialis)
Astaxanthin, a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment and is a powerful biological antioxidant. Astaxanthin exhibits strong free radical scavenging activity and protects against lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage of LDL-cholesterol, cell membranes, cells, and tissues. Astaxanthin is a red pigment occurring naturally in a wide variety of living organisms. Although the word astaxanthin may not be commonly encountered in everyday speech, the pigment itself is found in many human foods, and you are quite likely to be consuming it in your diet already. Most crustaceans, including shrimp, crawfish, crabs and lobster, are tinted red by accumulated astaxanthin. The coloration of fish is often due to astaxanthin; the pink flesh of a healthy wild salmon is a conspicuous example. This red-orange pigment is closely related to other well-known carotenoids such as beta-carotene or lutein, but has a stronger antioxidant activity (10 times higher than beta-carotene). Studies suggest that astaxanthin can be more than 1000 times more effective as antioxidant than vitamin E. In many of the aquatic animals where it can be found, astaxanthin has a number of essential biological functions, ranging from protection against oxidation of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, protection against UV-light effects, pro-vitamin A activity and vision, immune response, pigmentation, and communication, to reproductive behavior and improved reproduction.
Mangosteen Extract
The mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana L.) is grown in
Bilberry Extract
Bilberry Extract 25% contains compounds that are beneficial for the eyes. These compounds, called anthocyanidins, have the ability to protect and regenerate retinal purple (rhodopsin), and are the primary agents responsible for their ability to heal and protect the eyes. The anthocyanidins in bilberry decrease vascular permeability. How this works is not quite understood yet, but it seems that bilberry anthocyanidins interact with blood vessel collagen in such a way as to slow down enzymatic attack of the blood vessel wall. This prevents leakage of capillaries, decreases ocular pressure and relieves painful edemas.
Acai Berry
The Acai berry is harvested from the Brazilian rainforest and has been used for thousands of years by the natives of
While there are many different berry and fruit juices on the market, Acai contains the most complete array of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Acai contains Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin C, Vitamin E (tocopherol), iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. It also contains the essential fatty acids Omega 6 and Omega 9, all the essential amino acids, and more protein than an average egg.
The nutritional content of Acai is truly amazing, but what really sets Acai apart from the berry/fruit products is the antioxidant content. Studies show that Acai has up to 33 times the antioxidant content as red wine grapes. When compared to wolfberry, noni and mangosteen juice products, Acai is 6X more powerful in terms of antioxidant content. No other berry or fruit product can come close to matching the nutritional and antioxidant content of Acai.
Cat’s Claw Extract
Also known as Peruvian Cat's Claw, Samento, Saventaro, Una de Gato, Uncaria guianensis, Uncaria tomentosa Probably the best-researched use of cat’s claw is for the relief of arthritis pain. Results from animal studies and reports of human cases show that taking cat’s claw by mouth may have anti-inflammatory effects for individuals with either osteoarthritis (the deterioration of joints) or rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks cartilage and synovial fluid in joints).
Cat’s claw is also being studied for a number of other possible uses. Various chemicals in it are known to promote the loss of water from the body, relax smooth muscles, and widen small blood vessels in the hands and feet. All these effects may help to lower blood pressure. Cat’s claw may have immune-system effects, as well.
Chromium (as Picolinate)
Chromium picolinate is a nutritional supplement that works to increase the efficiency of insulin to optimal levels. Gaining increased popularity in the United States, this supplement has been touted a miracle mineral, one advertised to have myriad effects including weight loss, mood enhancement, energy promotion, increase in life span, and even the prevention of acne. The most common usage for chromium picolinate is as a weight loss aid with some research that demonstrates that this supplement can melt fat, drastically reduce appetite, and increase metabolism. Some evididence indicates that this ingredient increases strength and lean muscle mass.
Chromium picolinate is a combination of the element chromium and picolinic acid. Chromium is a naturally-occurring mineral, trace amounts of which are found in everyday foods like meat, poultry, fish, and whole-grain breads. When foods are processed, they are stripped of natural chromium, making American diets generally very low in chromium; studies estimate an average daily chromium consumption of 33 mcg. In 1968, it was demonstrated that when animals do not receive adequate levels of chromium, insulin is not optimally effective, and damage to insulin-dependent systems can occur. This led the FDA to recommend a daily chromium intake of approximately 130 mcg, as infinitesimal amounts of chromium are needed to aid the transport of blood glucose across cell membranes. Chromium with picolinic acid simply aids in efficient chromium absorption, and it is this combined form that is popular on the diet market today.
Eleuthero Root Extract
Eleuthero use dates back 2,000 years, according to Chinese medicinal records. It was believed to provide energy and vitality. In more modern times, eleuthero has been used to increase stamina and endurance in Soviet Olympic athletes. Russian explorers, divers, sailors, and miners also used eleuthero to prevent stress-related illness. Historically it has been used to strengthen the bodies systems, increase endurance, energy & mental alertness. It has been known to regulate low blood pressure, improve circulation, low blood sugar, fatigue and is a tonic for stress support.
Garcinia Cambogia Extract
Garcinia cambogia is an exotic fruit grown in South India . It is the source for a revolutionary natural diet ingredient. Garcinia cambogia extract is the calcium salt of hydroxy citric acid (HCA), which is obtained from water extract of Garcinia cambogia fruit . It is non-toxic, tasteless, odorless powder and found to be very effective herbal alternate for controlling obesity and cholesterol by inhibiting lipogenesis in our body. It is used as an appetite suppressant and to inhibit the absorption and synthesis of fat, cholesterol and triglycerides.
Ginko Biloba Extract
For nearly 2800 years the Chinese have used extracts from the ginkgo biloba tree to treat a variety of conditions. Studies published in medical journals show that ginkgo can improve mental function in people of all ages.
Ginkgo Biloba may:
v Correct age-related organic brain impairment
v Increase alertness and mental responsiveness in healthy people
v Improve cerebral and peripheral circulation
v Protect small blood vessels against spasm and loss of tone
v Prevent capillary fragility and blood leakage into surrounding tissue
v Inhibit blood pooling and clot formation by blocking platelet-activating factor
v Inhibit atherosclerosis and treat diabetic vascular disease
v Reduce tissue damage caused by low blood flow
v Help auditory difficulties including vertigo, tinnitus and deafness
v Protect against age-related visual disorders such as cataracts and dry macular degeneration
v Improve the outcome of stroke
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract is a bioflavonoid rich, potent extract used primarily for fighting free radicals. It contains a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids. Green tea extract contains a potent antioxidant, EGCG, which is over 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing the pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids in the brain. This important ingredient, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), protects against digestive and respiratory infections, helps to block the cancer promoting actions of carcinogens, protects against high total and LDL cholesterol levels, and blocks the attachment of the bacteria associated with dental cavities to the teeth.
Green tea extract helps with thermogenesis and aids in the metabolism of fat. Known for years as a powerful antioxidant, it may also be helpful in shedding fat. The most obvious benefit to dieters is that it works without increasing the heart rate most often found in diet aids. The increased heart rate leaves dieters jittery and eventually, most dieters stop using the supplement and gain weight back. Now through using green tea extract, dieters get the weight loss benefits without any of the jittery effects, especially in obese individuals with hypertension and other cardiovascular complications.

L-Arginine
L-arginine is a protein amino acid present in the proteins of all life forms. It is classified as a semi-essential or conditionally essential amino acid. This means that under normal circumstances the body can synthesize sufficient L-arginine to meet physiological demands. There are, however, conditions where the body cannot. L-arginine is essential for young children and for those with certain rare genetic disorders in which synthesis of the amino acid is impaired. Some stress conditions that put an increased demand on the body for the synthesis of L-arginine include prolonged stress, depression, trauma (including surgical trauma), and burns. Under these conditions, L-arginine becomes essential, and it is then very important to ensure adequate dietary intake of the amino acid to meet the increased physiological demands created by these situations.
L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and is needed to release energy from fat. It transports fatty acids into mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells. In infancy, and in situations of high energy needs, such as pregnancy and breast-feeding, the need for L-carnitine can exceed production by the body. Therefore, L-carnitine is considered a "conditionally essential" nutrient. L-carnitine’s actions appear to be particularly important in the heart.
L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in muscles and plays many important roles in the body. Research indicates that L-Glutamine is the most important variable in promoting optimum protein synthesis. Steady L-Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent muscle tissue breakdown and promotes cell volume maintenance. It boosts the immune system. It is the link between strength, stamina, and muscle development
L-Lysine
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that cannot be manufactured by the human body. Our only source of L-Lysine is through diet or supplementation. The human body benefits from L-Lysine because it promotes absorption of calcium, collagen formation, and production of enzymes.
L-Ornithine
L-ornithine is an essential amino acid that has been show to lower blood pressure, treat Hypertension and promote wound healing. L-ornithine has been shown to promote natural growth hormone (GH) release from the pituitary gland. GH promotes healthy anabolic metabolism throughout the body, helping to maintain youthful protein synthesis within cells. Aging causes a decline in protein synthesis that results in many of the degenerative diseases of aging, which may be partially corrected by enhancing GH serum levels.
L-Taurine
L-Taurine is a building block for all the other amino acids. Taurine is a key component in the production of bile, which is needed for the digestion of fats, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and the support of healthy cholesterol levels. Taurine has been shown to play a particular role in sparing of potassium from the heart muscle, thereby promoting a healthy heart. L-Taurine provides support for neurotransmitters and has a protective effect on the brain. The benefits of L-Taurine are wide ranging and can be a productive part of a total supplement program.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice has long been recognized for the natural sweetness of its deep-sinking roots. In fact, the plant’s scientific name, Glycyrrhiza glabra, is derived from glukus, the Greek word for sweet. Next to ginseng, licorice is the most popular herb used in Chinese formulas. Root. The medicinal use of licorice goes back several thousand years. Licorice root has been used by traditional herbalists as a general tonic and respiratory support. It also supports the liver. Licorice is included in most Chinese herb combinations to balance the other herbs and to promote vitality. It has a reputation for bringing the entire body into balance (particularly helpful to women who menstruate) and promoting well-being.
Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins, flavanoids, isoflavanoids, magnesium, silicon, sodium and other beneficial constituents. Licorice contains over 400 active phytochemicals that translate into a wide range of benefits. Just one constituent, glycyrrhizinic acid (GA), aids in the maintenance of stomach, intestinal and prostate tissue. Another constituent, a cortisone-type nutrient, helps the adrenal glands manage inflammation Licorice has immune system benefits because it encourages the production of interferon, an important antiviral compound made by the body. This amazing herb also helps the body combat depression. And it promotes a healthy liver, thereby helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Magnesium (as Gluconate)
Magnesium gluconate is used to address low blood magnesium levels. Low blood magnesium is caused by variety of gastrointestinal disorders, prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, kidney disease, or other conditions. Certain prescription drugs also lower magnesium levels as well. Magnesium is used as a dietary supplement for individuals who are deficient in magnesium. Although a balanced diet usually supplies all the magnesium a person needs, magnesium supplements may be needed by individuals who have lost magnesium because of illness or treatment with certain medicines. A lack of magnesium may lead to irritability, muscle weakness, fatigue, depression and an irregular heartbeat.

Potassium (as Gluconate)
This important mineral is a major component of the cells in our body and is required for muscle contraction, production of energy, synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Even the beating of the heart depends on potassium. Potassium benefits athletic performance, but is depleted from the body by excessive loss of fluid like that experienced during intense workouts. Many athletes take Potassium to prevent and fight off muscle cramps. Potassium (gluconate) reduces blood pressure, maintains fluid balance, encourages parasympathetic nervous system, increases insulin sensitivity. Potassium (gluconate), considered by some the major electrolyte, is found almost exclusively in the intracellular fluids of the cell. Sodium is found in the extracellular fluids, but it is equilibrium between potassium and sodium that determines fluid balance and blood pressure regulation. A high potassium-low sodium intake reduces the blood vessel constricting effects of adrenaline, a hormone elicited by the sympathetic nervous system; lower blood pressure results.
Suma Root Extract
Suma Root is also known by the names Amazon Ginseng, Brazilian Ginseng, Brazilian Carrots, and Para Todo. This is a shrub that grows in the Amazon Basin
Zinc (as Amino Acid Chelate)
Zinc is a component of more than 300 enzymes that are involved in fertility, vision, cell production, growth and repair, immunity and protein synthesis. Zinc also helps to protect against cell damage caused by excess free radicals.

*Xylitol
A healthy, natural sweetener Pure Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables and produced in small amounts by the human body. For commercial use, it is manufactured from xylan hemicellulose sources such as Birch trees, cane bagasse and corn cobs/stalks. It is the sweetest of the polyols with the same sweetness as sugar (sucrose) but with 40% fewer calories and none of the negative tooth decay or insulin release effects of sugar. Over 25 years of testing clinical testing confirms that Xylitol is the best sweetener for teeth. Its use has been shown to reduce instances of tooth decay by up to 80%. Sugarfree chewing gums and candies made with this sweetener have already received official endorsements from six national dental associations. Xylitol is one of bacteria's natural enemies. When certain harmful bacteria enter the body, they attach to the membranes of the nose and throat. They begin to culture and grow, causing infection and sickness. When exposed to Xylitol (specifically Strep, pneumo and H Flu), these harmful bacteria lose their ability to adhere to infected membranes and are not able to grow. Unlike most antibiotics, which kill the majority of bacteria and leave the resistant "super bacteria" behind, Xylitol merely flushes harmful bacteria away.
Maca:

Aloe Vera Gel Extract
Aloe gel has been used for topical treatment of wounds, minor burns, and skin irritations for centuries. American consumers are most familiar with aloe's use in skin-care products, but aloe can also be used as a beverage. Aloe products for internal use have been promoted for constipation, coughs, wounds, ulcers, diabetes, cancer, headaches, arthritis, immune-system deficiencies, and many other conditions.
We now know that one of alo vera’s active ingredients is the complex carbohydrate called "acemannan". This ingredient has been shown to be an effective treatment for several forms of viruses and it also enhances the capabilities of the immune system.
Acemannan’s exact mode of action isn’t yet fully understood. Research shows, however, that it activates several types of white blood cells within the immune system. It plays a role to increase amounts of tumor necrosis factor, gamma interferon and interleukin 1, all of which increase the body’s ability to destroy viruses, bacteria and tumor cells.
Cat’s Claw Extract
Also known as Peruvian Cat's Claw, Samento, Saventaro, Una de Gato, Uncaria guianensis, Uncaria tomentosa
Probably the best-researched use of cat’s claw is for the relief of arthritis pain. Results from animal studies and reports of human cases show that taking cat’s claw by mouth may have anti-inflammatory effects for individuals with either osteoarthritis (the deterioration of joints) or rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks cartilage and synovial fluid in joints).
Cat’s claw is also being studied for a number of other possible uses. Various chemicals in it are known to promote the loss of water from the body, relax smooth muscles, and widen small blood vessels in the hands and feet. All these effects may help to lower blood pressure. Cat’s claw may have immune-system effects, as well.
Chromium (as Picolinate)
Chromium picolinate is a nutritional supplement that works to increase the efficiency of insulin to optimal levels. Gaining increased popularity in the United States, this supplement has been touted a miracle mineral, one advertised to have myriad effects including weight loss, mood enhancement, energy promotion, increase in life span, and even the prevention of acne. The most common usage for chromium picolinate is as a weight loss aid with some research that demonstrates that this supplement can melt fat, drastically reduce appetite, and increase metabolism. Some evididence indicates that this ingredient increases strength and lean muscle mass.
Chromium picolinate is a combination of the element chromium and picolinic acid. Chromium is a naturally-occurring mineral, trace amounts of which are found in everyday foods like meat, poultry, fish, and whole-grain breads. When foods are processed, they are stripped of natural chromium, making American diets generally very low in chromium; studies estimate an average daily chromium consumption of 33 mcg. In 1968, it was demonstrated that when animals do not receive adequate levels of chromium, insulin is not optimally effective, and damage to insulin-dependent systems can occur. This led the FDA to recommend a daily chromium intake of approximately 130 mcg, as infinitesimal amounts of chromium are needed to aid the transport of blood glucose across cell membranes. Chromium with picolinic acid simply aids in efficient chromium absorption, and it is this combined form that is popular on the diet market today.
CoQ10
Co-Enzyme Q10 - Co-enzyme Q10 is a vital antioxidant which, according to numerous scientific and clinical studies: produces energy in cells, protects tissues - such as the heart and other vital organs - from free radical damage, supports proper cardiovascular function, strengthens the immune system, inhibits the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and nourishes gum tissue.

L-Arginine
L-arginine is a protein amino acid present in the proteins of all life forms. It is classified as a semi-essential or conditionally essential amino acid. This means that under normal circumstances the body can synthesize sufficient L-arginine to meet physiological demands. There are, however, conditions where the body cannot. L-arginine is essential for young children and for those with certain rare genetic disorders in which synthesis of the amino acid is impaired. Some stress conditions that put an increased demand on the body for the synthesis of L-arginine include prolonged stress, depression, trauma (including surgical trauma), and burns. Under these conditions, L-arginine becomes essential, and it is then very important to ensure adequate dietary intake of the amino acid to meet the increased physiological demands created by these situations.
L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and is needed to release energy from fat. It transports fatty acids into mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells. In infancy, and in situations of high energy needs, such as pregnancy and breast-feeding, the need for L-carnitine can exceed production by the body. Therefore, L-carnitine is considered a "conditionally essential" nutrient. L-carnitine’s actions appear to be particularly important in the heart.
L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in muscles and plays many important roles in the body. Research indicates that L-Glutamine is the most important variable in promoting optimum protein synthesis. Steady L-Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent muscle tissue breakdown and promotes cell volume maintenance. It boosts the immune system. It is the link between strength, stamina, and muscle development.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice has long been recognized for the natural sweetness of its deep-sinking roots. In fact, the plant’s scientific name, Glycyrrhiza glabra, is derived from glukus, the Greek word for sweet.

Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins, flavanoids, isoflavanoids, magnesium, silicon, sodium and other beneficial constituents. Licorice contains over 400 active phytochemicals that translate into a wide range of benefits. Just one constituent, glycyrrhizinic acid (GA), aids in the maintenance of stomach, intestinal and prostate tissue. Another constituent, a cortisone-type nutrient, helps the adrenal glands manage inflammation Licorice has immune system benefits because it encourages the production of interferon, an important antiviral compound made by the body. This amazing herb also helps the body combat depression. And it promotes a healthy liver, thereby helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that cannot be manufactured by the human body. Our only source of L-Lysine is through diet or supplementation. The human body benefits from L-Lysine because it promotes absorption of calcium, collagen formation, and production of enzymes.
L-Ornithine
L-ornithine is an essential amino acid that has been show to lower blood pressure, treat Hypertension and promote wound healing. L-ornithine has been shown to promote natural growth hormone (GH) release from the pituitary gland. GH promotes healthy anabolic metabolism throughout the body, helping to maintain youthful protein synthesis within cells. Aging causes a decline in protein synthesis that results in many of the degenerative diseases of aging, which may be partially corrected by enhancing GH serum levels.
L-Taurine
L-Taurine is a building block for all the other amino acids. Taurine is a key component in the production of bile, which is needed for the digestion of fats, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and the support of healthy cholesterol levels. Taurine has been shown to play a particular role in sparing of potassium from the heart muscle, thereby promoting a healthy heart. L-Taurine provides support for neurotransmitters and has a protective effect on the brain. The benefits of L-Taurine are wide ranging and can be a productive part of a total supplement program.
Magnesium (as Gluconate)
Magnesium gluconate is used to address low blood magnesium levels. Low blood magnesium is caused by variety of gastrointestinal disorders, prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, kidney disease, or other conditions. Certain prescription drugs also lower magnesium levels as well. Magnesium is used as a dietary supplement for individuals who are deficient in magnesium. Although a balanced diet usually supplies all the magnesium a person needs, magnesium supplements may be needed by individuals who have lost magnesium because of illness or treatment with certain medicines. A lack of magnesium may lead to irritability, muscle weakness, fatigue, depression and an irregular heartbeat.

Potassium (as Gluconate)
This important mineral is a major component of the cells in our body and is required for muscle contraction, production of energy, synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Even the beating of the heart depends on potassium. Potassium benefits athletic performance, but is depleted from the body by excessive loss of fluid like that experienced during intense workouts. Many athletes take Potassium to prevent and fight off muscle cramps. Potassium (gluconate) reduces blood pressure, maintains fluid balance, encourages parasympathetic nervous system, increases insulin sensitivity. Potassium (gluconate), considered by some the major electrolyte, is found almost exclusively in the intracellular fluids of the cell. Sodium is found in the extracellular fluids, but it is equilibrium between potassium and sodium that determines fluid balance and blood pressure regulation. A high potassium-low sodium intake reduces the blood vessel constricting effects of adrenaline, a hormone elicited by the sympathetic nervous system; lower blood pressure results.
Suma Root Extract
Suma Root is also known by the names Amazon Ginseng, Brazilian Ginseng, Brazilian Carrots, and Para Todo. This is a shrub that grows in the
Vitamin A (Retinol)
Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, plays essential roles in vision, growth, and development; the development and maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes; immune functions; and reproduction.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 is a member of the vitamin B complex. It contains cobalt, and so is also known as cobalamin. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of red blood cells, the maintenance of the nervous system, and growth and development in children. Deficiency can cause anaemia. B12 is necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. This is especially important in tissues where cells are dividing rapidly, particularly the bone marrow tissues responsible for red blood cell formation. If B12 deficiency occurs, DNA production is disrupted and abnormal cells called megaloblasts occur. This results in anaemia. Symptoms of B12 deficiency include excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, pallor, and poor resistance to infection. Other symptoms can include a smooth, sore tongue and menstrual disorders.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B3, also called niacin, is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose (sugar), which is "burned" to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, are essential in the breakdown of fats and protein. B complex vitamins also play an important role in maintaining muscle tone along the digestive tract and promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. Niacin plays an important role in ridding the body of toxic and harmful chemicals. It also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin is effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine is part of the B group vitamins and is water-soluble and is required for both mental and physical health. Pyridoxine is required for the balancing of hormonal changes in women as well as assisting the immune system and the growth of new cells. It is also used in the processing and metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, while assisting with controlling your mood as well as your behavior. Pyridoxine might also be of benefit for children with learning difficulties, as well as assisting in the prevention of dandruff, eczema and psoriasis. Vitamin B6 assists in the balancing of sodium and potassium as well promotes red blood cell production. It is further involved in the nucleic acids RNA as well as DNA. It is further linked to cancer immunity and fights the formation of the toxic chemical homocysteine, which is detrimental to the heart muscle.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is necessary to form collagen, an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which are by-products that result when our bodies transform food into energy. The build up of these by-products over time is largely responsible for the aging process and can contribute to the development of various health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and a host of inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Antioxidants also help reduce the damage to the body caused by toxic chemicals and pollutants such as cigarette smoke. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to dry and splitting hair; gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and bleeding gums; rough, dry, scaly skin; decreased wound-healing rate, easy bruising; nosebleeds; weakened enamel of the teeth; swollen and painful joints; anemia; decreased ability to ward off infection; and, possibly, weight gain because of slowed metabolic rate and energy expenditure. A severe form of vitamin C deficiency is known as scurvy, which mainly affects older, malnourished adults. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it.
Zinc (as Amino Acid Chelate)
Zinc is a component of more than 300 enzymes that are involved in fertility, vision, cell production, growth and repair, immunity and protein synthesis. Zinc also helps to protect against cell damage caused by excess free radicals.
