5-HTP
• Acts as an immediate precursor to Serotonin
• Supplementation enhances levels of Serotonin, Melatonin, Catecholamines,
Endorphins
• Regulates hunger pangs
• May positively enzhance mood and sleep cycle
5-HTP is an amino acid produced naturally
by the body's metabolism that is the intermediate step between tryptophan
and the production of a vital brain chemical, serotonin. Further
supplementation of pre-formed 5-HTP allows for the additional
production of serotonin which aids to decrease hunger pangs, as this
chemical is responsible for feelings of satiety (feeling full) and
happiness. This may explain its beneficial effect with weight management.
Additionally, 5-HTP has been shown to reduce carbohydrate intake.
Available in: 50 mg Capsules.

Chromium Picolinate
Chromium Picolinate is an exceptionally bio-active source of chromium that
is used for the enhancement of weight loss. It is a combination of
Chromium and Picolinic acid which is secreted by the liver and kidneys.
This trace mineral is essential
for proper blood sugar control. Chromium is also a critical nutrient for
treating diabetes and hypoglycemia. One of the key goals for enhancing
weight loss is to increase the sensitivity of cells throughout the body to
the hormone insulin. Insulin plays a critical role in maintaining proper
blood sugar levels and stimulate thermogenesis. Without Chromium,
insulin's action is blocked, blood sugar levels are elevated, and
thermogenesis is inhibited. Excess body weight in the form of fat tends to
impair insulin sensitivity making it more difficult to lose weight.
Chromium Picolinate helps build muscles and plays a vital role in
sensitizing the body to insulin.
Further studies have shown that Chromium supplementation has been
demonstrated to lower body weight yet increase lean body mass due to
increased insulin sensitivity. Proving Chromium’s effects in weight loss
enhancement. Chromium
levels can be depleted by consumption of refined sugars and white flour
products as well as lack of exercise. Available in: 200 mcg Capsules.
top |
|
Chromium Polynicotinate
Chromium plays a role in the metabolism of glucose, and is necessary for
energy production. Since this mineral assists in the production of
insulin, it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and can be beneficial
both for people with hypoglycemia and
diabetes. It is also critical to the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and
proteins.
Chromium Polynicotinate is more effective than any other type of Chromium
as it binds the elemental Chromium to Niacin (vitamin B-3). This provides
a biologically active form of Chromium. Available in: 100 mcg Capsules.

Coenzyme Q-10
Coenzyme Q10 or Ubiquinone is a vital enzyme catalyst in the creation of
cellular energy which is synthesized in the liver. The body's ability to
assimilate CoQ10 declines with age. CoQ10 is utilized as a great
anti-aging supplement. It is an extremely important and probably one of
the most powerful antioxidants. As an antioxidant enzyme, it does a great
deal more than protect us from free radical damage. CoQ10 scavenges and
neutralizes free radicals by ultimately turning them into oxygen and
water. CoQ10 also aids in the prevention of many degenerative diseases
such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. CoQ10 is also
known for its other roles such as in the enhancement of the immune system,
overcoming periodontal disease, raising cardiac strength against angina
and inhibiting aging. CoQ10 may also prove of benefit to those who are
overweight because it improves the efficiency of energy production at a
cellular level. Its use as a supplement in natural weight loss aids to
boost the metabolism. Available in: 30 mg, 60 mg Capsules.

DHEA
DHEA (dehydro-epiandro-sterone) is an abundant hormone produced from
cholesterol by the adrenals with smaller amounts made by female ovaries.
DHEA is a precursor for all other steroid hormones in the human body
including sex hormones and corticosteroids. DHEA helps maintain muscle,
skin tone and bone health. It stimulates immune defenses and T-cells to
fight infections and monitors over-reactions that attack the body. DHEA is
also used in anti-aging to lower serum cholesterol and promotes energy and
libido. DHEA levels tend to decline with
age (usually after the age of 40) and it has been suggested that the
supplementation of DHEA may offer some protection against the effects of
aging. Declining levels of DHEA has been suggestively linked to such
conditions as diabetes, obesity, arthritis, and autoimmune diseases. DHEA
has shown promise in enhancing memory and improving mental function in the
elderly. DHEA also increases muscle strength and lean body mass, activate
immune function and enhance the quality of life in aging individuals.
Available in: 25 mg & 50 mg Capsules.

EPA/DHA Marine Lipids
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic
acid) are two very important types of omega-3 fatty acids used by the
body. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial as they provide fluidity to cell
membranes and improve communication between brain cells. Omega-3’s also
reduce the clotting ability of platelets
thus potentially decreasing the incidence of heart attacks and strokes.
They both greatly support coronary health. DHA levels in the brain decline
with age therefore it is a possibility that daily intake of Omega-3 fatty
acids can improve
vision in older individuals. EPA has a beneficial influence on the
prostaglandin and
leukotriene metabolism alleviating circulatory problems, skin disease and
inflammation. EPA is accredited the most for protecting the heart and
improving cholesterol levels. Our main dietary sources of EPA & DHA are
found in seafood,
especially mackerel, salmon, striped bass, rainbow trout, halibut, tuna,
and sardines. Increased intake of EPA & DHA has been shown to be
beneficial in coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and inflammatory
disorders such as rheumatoid
arthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids help balance cholesterol by raising HDLs
and decreasing triglycerides. Available in: 1000 mg Softgel (50% Omega-3
Fatty Acids providing 300 mg EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) & 200 mg DHA (Docosahexaenoic

Folic Acid
Folic Acid is a B-vitamin that plays an important role in the synthesis of
DNA, enzyme production and blood formation. Depression is the most common
symptom of a folic acid deficiency. Folic acid functions as a
"methyl-donor". It carries
and donates methyl molecules to important brain compounds especially to
neurotransmitters. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC)
advises that all women of childbearing age take about 400 micrograms of
folic acid every day. Folic acid has a profound effect on the prevention
of neural tube defects, cell growth and development, and tissue formation.
Sufficient folic acid intake
is imperative to potentially reduce the risk of having a baby with a
neural tube defect. Repeated studies have shown that women who get 400
micrograms daily prior to conception and during early pregnancy reduce the
risk that their baby will be
born with a serious neural tube defect by up to 70%. Available in: 900 mcg

Glucosamine Chondroitin
Initial results indicate promising anti-inflammatory and pain reduction
properties associated with arthritis and other vascular conditions.
Glucosamine is a proteoglycan or an amino sugar that promotes tissue
elasticity and cushioning. It
further stimulates proper joint functioning and the manufacturing of
glycosaminoglycans that are vital cartilage components that aid in any
type of bodily repairs or eroded cartilage. It is known to support joint
structure and function as
well as stimulating the creation of new cartilage by attracting essential,
nutrient-rich fluid to cartilage-synthesis areas. With MSM MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
provides dietary sulfur. MSM is crucial in body elements like hormones,
enzymes, antibodies,
antioxidants and body proteins. MSM contributes to healthy hair and nails,
skin's softness and pliability, and to encourage damaged skin repair by
stimulating the production of collagen. It boosts the natural
detoxification and immune function by
further producing the antibody - immunoglobulin. It is often used to stop
pain impulses from muscle and joint pain. Contains 300 mg each of
Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM Available in Tablets.

Acetyl L-Carnitine &
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Western Research Labs offers this incredible combination of Acetyl L-Carnitine
and Alpha Lipoic Acid for anti-aging benefits and to increase energy
levels. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is known to increase alertness and
attention span, improve learning and memory, and boost eye-hand
coordination. ALC is a relatively new addition to the growing cluster of
natural aids used to boost & sustain cognitive function. It is also used
to alleviate depression, improve blood flow to the brain & heart, improve
immune functioning, help reduce high blood sugar levels, and help burn
body fat by promoting the use of fatty acids for energy. Alpha Lipoic Acid
(ALA) is a universally powerful antioxidant due to its solubility in both
fat and water. Its metabolic nature
increases cellular energy for further promotion of cell membrane repair
which may assist in the anti-aging process. It is also an extraordinary
anti-inflammatory agent. ALA is a potent inhibitor of glycosylization of
proteins. On an abstract level, ALA may be involved in slowing down the
aging process or at least tempering its visible effects. Since ALA is part
of an enzyme complex within the mitochondria that controls energy
production, it's possible that by supplementing the cell with additional
lipoic acid, aging cells can increase their energy production. This will
then allow them to repair cellular damage and expel cellular waste
products more efficiently. This
ultimately may help forestall the signs of aging. Available in Capsules.

help balance sugar metabolism by reducing sugar and alcohol cravings and
aiding in the absorption of minerals into the tissues. It can
contribute to the production of other amino acids, glucose, nucleotides,
protein and glutathione. It prevents against alcohol toxicity and controls
hypoglycemic reactions. It readily converts into 6-carbon glucose and is
therefore one of the best nutrients
and energy sources for the brain. It increases GABA (Gamma-AminoButyric
Acid), a central nervous system neurotransmitter important for brain
function and mental ability. GABA helps relieve anxiety and stress. From
