Research Highlights
Background:
Garlic has been used as both food and medicine in many cultures for thousands of years. With its high concentration of sulfur-containing compounds, trace minerals and enzymes, garlic has consistently demonstrated the ability to support immune function, provide antioxidant support and promote cardiovascular health. Many of the biological effects that have been attributed to garlic are thought to be related to allicin and other breakdown products. Allicin is formed when alliin, a sulfur-containing amino acid, comes into contact with the enzyme alliinase when raw garlic is chopped, crushed, or chewed. Dried garlic preparations containing alliin & alliinase must be enteric coated to be effective because stomach acid inhibits alliinase and decomposesallicin. Studies on garlic demonstrate its role in helping to maintain optimal health and wellness.
Features:
Our 500 mg garlic is a high potency garlic product, having an allicin yield of 5,000 mcg per tablet.
Synergistic benefits provided by a variety of naturally occurring sulfur-containing compounds such as thiosulfinates and gamma-glutamylcysteines.
Each tablet is enteric-coated to protect the integrity and preserve the biological activity of allicin from the damaging effects of stomach acid.
Odor controlled
Benefits:
Garlic has been shown to promote cardiovascular health via its ability to scavenge free radicals by supporting the activity of various antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (due to its selenium content).*
The active compounds in garlic have demonstrated the ability to promote a normal, healthy inflammatory response, healthy blood clotting and blood pressure as well as support of cholesterol levels already in the normal range.*
Among the many favorable actions of garlic, the support of normal, healthy cell growth and healthy immune function are two of the most significant.*

Gastrointestinal problems are common conditions that plague our society. Pharmacies and supermarkets offer a wide selection of products designed to provide temporary relief of symptoms, rather than address the underlying cause. The majority of gastrointestinal conditions are related to the typical American diet which focuses on highly processed and refined, high fat, high sugar and low fiber foods. This type of diet results in poor digestive health which can to lead to irregular bowel movements and the increased amount of time fecal matter comes in contact with the cells lining the intestinal tract. Our Colon Cleanse formula provides a synergistic combination of ingredients that help support normal, healthy bowel function, which in turn encourages the “regular” elimination of waste material. By encouraging “regularity”, this formula helps support overall health and wellness, which is oftentimes related to normal, healthy gastrointestinal function.*

Benefits:
Cascara Sagrada helps to support smooth muscle contraction of the colon and facilitate the elimination of waste. It also has a toning and strengthening effect that can support normal bowel function.*
Aloe vera leaf contains compounds known as anthraquinone glycosides. Numerous studies have demonstrated the ability of these compounds to support normal colon function and stool consistency. Aloe not only supports the smooth muscle contraction of the colon but also provides a soothing demulcent effect to the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.*
Flax seed provides the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid. This fat has been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response. Flaxseed also provides a source of fiber and lignans, both of which benefit intestinal health.*
Marshmallow root is a demulcent which contains compounds that help soothe and protect the mucous lining of the intestinal tract.*
Peppermint contains compounds called carminatives. These compounds have been shown to have a “relaxing” affect on the smooth muscle that lines the intestinal tract, and can provide support for normal, healthy intestinal function.*
Slippery Elm is another highly regarded demulcent that soothes the intestinal lining.*
Rhubarb benefits the muscles of the intestinal wall by supporting strength and overall function. As an astringent, this plant extract also helps to protect the lining of the colon.*

Background:
The adrenal glands produce hormones that support the biochemical and physiological mechanisms for dealing with mental and physical stress, and also secrete chemicals involved in nutrient metabolism and energy production. Chronic anxiety, nervous tension and other types of stress may lead to an excess production of cortisol, a hormone involved in stress response. Excess intake of stimulants such as caffeine and sugar can exacerbate stress and lead to adrenal “fatigue”. The constant stimulation of the adrenal glands may eventually result in an abnormal stress response, low energy and poor immune function. Our Adrenal Support formula is a synergistic combination of nutraceuticals designed to support healthy adrenal function.*

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” is really a hormone but categorized as a vitamin. This is because a deficiency is associated with the diseases Rickets (bone deformities) in children and Osteomalacia (poor bone mineralization leading to weak, painful bones) in adults. The body is able to synthesize pre-vitamin D3 in the skin when exposed to sunlight. The pre-vitamin D3 is rapidly converted into vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is then transported through the blood to the liver and kidney where it is converted into the hormone calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D. Only a few foods naturally contain vitamin D including: fatty fish and cod liver oil. Fortified foods such as milk and cereal are the major dietary sources of vitamin D. It is estimated that 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient, therefore supplementing the diet with extra vitamin D is essential for optimal health. Numerous factors influence the skin’s synthesis of pre-vitamin D3 including, location, climate, sun exposure, skin color, age and use of sunscreen. When you combine all of the factors that influence vitamin D synthesis with the existing widespread deficiency, vitamin D supplementation is the most efficient and convenient way to ensure optimal vitamin D intake.*
Benefits:
Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilization.*
Stimulates osteoblast (bone producing cell) activity which helps maintain bone density and strength.*
Stimulates the synthesis of osteocalcin, an important protein involved in bone formation.*
Helps maintain adequate blood calcium levels which help support cellular metabolic processes, cardiovascular and neuromuscular/neurological function.*
Vitamin D is important for normal, healthy cell growth and function.*
Helps support normal, healthy insulin secretion.*
Vitamin D helps support healthy immune function.*
Suggested Use: Take 5 Drops once per day or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Green tea has been consumed as a beverage for centuries. It originated in China and then spread to Japan and the Middle East. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the health benefits of green tea. The active components of green tea are known as polyphenols. The polyphenols that demonstrate the most significant biological effects are the catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These compounds have significant biological activity. They work in several ways to improve cardiovascular health, support normal, healthy cell growth, provide antioxidant protection and support a healthy metabolism.* Our European Standardized Green Tea Extract is made by a water extraction method without the use of harmful solvents.

Elderberry contains several compounds that help support healthy immune function. These active compounds help defend against viruses by affecting their ability to infect the body’s cells. Certain proteins at the surface of viruses have the ability to breakdown the body’s cell membranes and infect the cell. By neutralizing these proteins, the active compounds in elderberry help to protect the cells from infection. Elderberry is also rich in anthocyanins, which have well documented antioxidant properties. In addition, the anthocyanins in the elderberry help to support cytokine production. Cytokines are essential for regulating immune function.†
