Adrenal 100 Cortex 75  Return

Adrenal Glands, Stress

Adreno Chelate  Return

Created and developed by several doctors, after six years of trial and error testing, it helps regulate the sodium-potassium balance of the adrenals. It is more effective than ordinary mineral chelates because it supplies sodium and potassium as a specific amino acid proteinate and chloride as a calcium salt. Generally, this product is used to normalize hyper-functioning adrenals.

ATP Plus  Return

Now with PEAK ATP, provides immediately available ATP. ATP is a compound that serves as the immediate source of energy for the body's cells. It increases energy and stamina, builds muscle density, increases muscle strength, buffers lactic acid buildup, (the reason for sore, achy muscles after physical activity), delays fatigue and preserves muscle fibers. While ATP powers nearly every human function, ATP levels decline with age and in response to stress. Low ATP levels are associated with impaired organ and muscle function. PEAK ATP delivers the "exact molecule" the human body needs to create energy. Magnesium is a key mineral cofactor for many anaerobic as well as aerobic reactions that generate energy, and has an oxygen-sparing effect. It is essential for the cells' mitochondria "powerhouses" to function normally, being involved in both the production and utilization of ATP. Malic acid also has an oxygen sparing effect and there are a number of indications that malic acid is a very critical molecule in controlling mitochondrial function. Malate is a source of energy from the Krebs cycle and is the only metabolite of the cycle which falls in concentration during exhaustive physical activity. Depletion of malate has also been linked to physical exhaustion. By giving malic acid and magnesium as dietary supplements, flexibility to use aerobic and anaerobic energy sources can be enhanced and energy production can be boosted.

B-12 Lingual  Return

Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are intimately involved as vitamin cofactors in the cellular production of nucleic acids, protein and certain amino acids. Physiological anabolic functions of Vitamin B-12 and folic acid include DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis, nucleic acid metabolism, protein synthesis, cell division and amino acid synthesis (methionine, serine, glycine).

The absorption of Vitamin B-12 is governed by the intrinsic factor, secreted from parietal cells of the stomach wall as a normal part of gastric juice. A failure in any stage in the absorption of the vitamin can render it unavailable. For instance, one third of people over 60 who no longer secrete gastric acid are unable to absorb Vitamin B-12 from food because they are unable to split B-12 from the protein complex to which it is attached. If the gastric juice of a person lacks the intrinsic factor necessary for absorption of Vitamin B-12, there is no uptake of the vitamin at all from the amounts normally provided in food. However, if amounts about 1000 times the normal dosage are given, sufficient amounts to meet the needs of an individual may pass through the wall by diffusion.

The efficiency of absorption appears to diminish with increase in age, with a pyridoxine deficiency resulting from a decreased synthesis of intrinsic factor, with an iron inadequacy and in hypothyroidism.  One route considered is sublingual, the second most rapid route next to direct injection of the substance into the body.

BP Natural  Return

Nutritional Support for Normal Blood Pressure, Endothelial Function and Cardiovascular Health.

Coryza Forte  Return

Coryza Forte® is a blend of nutrients, in capsule form, provides nutritional support of the immune system, particularly in the upper respiratory tract. It contains raw trachea, thymus, spleen, lymph, and RNA to promote drainage of congested tissue and to support the immune system. Raw Adrenal is present as is Vitamin C to stimulate the adrenals and the body's defense mechanisms. It is believed that the cell resulting in the production of interferon, the body’s anti-viral substance absorbs the deoxyribosides contained in pollen. Bioflavonoid (sometimes called Vitamin P) assists Vitamin C in maintaining capillary integrity and regulates vascular permeability. Pantothenic acid plays an important role in the body's immunity mechanisms. Calcium is necessary for maintenance of membranes and zinc is important in the synthesis of antibodies.

Cran-Caps  Return

Cranberries and cranberry juice have been proven effective for treatment of urinary tract infections in a number of clinical trials. Many people believe the action of cranberry juice is due to acidifying the urine and the antibacterial effects of a cranberry component, hippuric acid. In addition, recent studies have shown components in cranberry juice to reduce the ability of bacteria to adhere to the lining of the bladder and urethra. In order for bacteria to infect, they must first adhere to the mucosa.

DHEA 25  Return

Nutritional support for low DHEA levels which may result from aging and/or stress.

Fem Gest Natural Progestone Cream  Return

950 mg. of natural Progesterone. The natural plant extracts in Fem-Gest restore harmony and balance to promote beauty and health. Used in treatment for symptoms of PMS and menopause (hormone replacement and progesterone therapy).   Massage 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of cream into the skin for 2 to 3 minutes until it is totally absorbed. Apply 2 to 3 times a day up to 21 days, 7 days off and repeat.  Hormonal Balance Evaluation

Flax Hull Lignans  Return

Flax seeds are the richest source of lignans in the plant kingdom, containing up to 800 times more than any other plant source.  The flax lignan secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG) is being studied as nutritional support for the immune system and for its hormone balancing effects as a weak phytoestrogen.  SDG's ability to support the immune system may be due in part to its super antioxidant power.  ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a test tube analysis of the total antioxidant power of foods and other chemical substances.  While prunes have one of the highest ORAC values with a score of 5,770 per 100 grams, flax hull lignans have a value of 19,600 per 100 grams.  Early findings suggest that eating plenty of high ORAC foods may help slow processes associated with aging in both body and brain.

GC MSM 3550  Return

Glucosamine is an amino monosaccharide produced in the body by the combination of glucose with glutamine, through the enzymatic action of glucosamine synthetase. GS plays a role in the formation of articular surfaces, tendons, ligaments, synovial fluid, skin, bone, nails, heart valves, blood vessels and in mucous secretions of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts. MSM is important in building healthy new cells, studies show it relieves pain and inflammation. Chondroitin Sulfate allows cells in tissues to adhere to one another and gives joints their strength and resilience. Other nutrients are added to enhance rebuilding of soft tissues and to reduce connective tissue damage.

Lecithin Capules  Return

Lecithin is a phosphatide containing the lipotropic factors choline and inositol which regulate fat metabolism in the body. Lecithin is the chief phospholipid found in bile and is important in keeping the bile in solution and not precipitated out in the form of gallstones. It may also aid in removing cholesterol from arterial walls and increase immunity against viral infections. Studies have shown Lecithin plays an important part in maintaining a healthy nervous system and s found naturally in the myelin sheath, a fatty protective covering for the nerves. It is high in phosphorus and unites with iron, iodine and calcium to give power and vigor to the brain.

Pan 5X  Return

This product is designed to be used as an enzymatic aid for the digestive system. It assists the pancreas in providing carbohydrate, fat, and protein-digesting enzymes. Also aids in destroying foreign proteins, such as Candida pyruvate.
