Our Nutrients
CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
We are working on this portion of our website. Thank you for your understanding.
We source our nutrients from pharmacies with the highest standards. Samples from every batch of vitamins or minerals are sent off for independent, third-party laboratory testing. Independent lab tests are performed for sterility, endotoxins and potency.
Alpha lipoid acid
(ALA)
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in the body. ALA is often referred to as the “universal antioxidant.” It supports vital functions at the cellular level, such as producing energy and protecting your cells from damage. The body has the ability to produce ALA. It is also found in dietary sources, such as red meat, organ meat (liver, heart, kidney, etc.), broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, brussels sprouts, and yeast. Once administered, ALA is readily absorbed and distributed throughout all major organs.
Other Uses
Alpha lipoic acid strengthens the body's defenses by recycling and enhancing other antioxidants in the body, such as vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione. ALA works in the mitochondria and is a vital part of the conversion of glucose to energy. Glucose requires insulin to get into cells. ALA mimics insulin, improving both glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This simply means that more glucose is transported into the cells rather than being stored as fat. ALA also improves the conversion of carbohydrates to energy, which reduces the amounts available to be converted to fats.
Vitamin B 12
(Methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin is an active form of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 helps to utilize fats and carbohydrates for energy and make new proteins. Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of our metabolism, blood cells, and nerve function. Most people get enough vitamin B12 in their diet, but some need supplementation. Certain health conditions such as intestinal or stomach problems, poor nutrition, cancer, HIV, pregnancy, old age, veganism, and alcoholism can cause vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to fatigue and anemia in milder cases. More serous B12 deficiencies have the potential to impair heart and neurological function, leading to a wide range of serous symptoms, including but not limited to tinnitus, severe joint pain, memory problems, depression, anxiety, poor muscle function, ataxia, and changes in reflexes. Infertility can also occur in individuals with insufficient B12. Early intervention and treatment of B12 deficiencies are key to maintaining healthy bodily function.
Other Uses
Methylcobalamin can also indicated in those with pernicious anemia, diabetes, neuropathy, heart disease, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, memory loss, depression, fatigue, AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Lyme disease, osteoporosis, tendonitis, psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, liver and kidney disease, and asthma. It also may help in improving concentration, maintaining fertility, antiaging, boosting energy levels, converting fat to energy and mood elevation.
Vitamin B Complex
Each unit of our Vitamin B Complex contains: vitamins B1 (Thaimin) 100 mg, B2 (Riboflavin) 2 mg, B3 (Niacin) 100 mg, B5 (Dexpanthenol) 2 mg, B6 (Pyroxidine) 2 mg
Biotin
(Vitamin B7)
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin found naturally in some foods and used as a dietary supplement. Biotin can be used for metabolism issues due to its essential role in the metabolism of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. It is found primarily in liver, kidney, and muscle. Biotin functions as an essential in fatty acid, glucose, and amino acid metabolism. Mammals must consume biotin to replenish stores. Sources of biotin include organ meats, eggs, fish, seeds, and nuts. Biotin can be used for metabolism issues due to its essential role in the metabolism of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids.
As a dietary supplement, biotin is useful in the treatment of hair and nail problems, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, candida infections, and high cholesterol. It is also used in pregnancy, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis, as biotin deficiency is more likely in these situations.
Biotin plays a vital role in cellular growth. It helps rebuild tissues and accelerate cell growth, and also helps damaged muscle and tissue repair quickly. Biotin is also involved in important processes such as skin regeneration and bone development. It also reduces inflammation, which helps prevent joint pain and stiffness, as well as muscle soreness.
Biotin plays an important role in keeping hair healthy by increasing the rate of follicle growth along with keratin production which impacts hair, skin, and nails.
Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is an antioxidant that plays an important role in the body: it protects the body’s cells from damage. It is also necessary to maintain the health of skin, teeth, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Studies have shown that it may help brain function in people with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Without the proper amount of ascorbic acid, people are at risk for cardiovascular illness, compromised immune systems, premature aging, increased stress response, and low energy. Ascorbic acid is found in foods such as citrus fruits, kiwi, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, potatoes, brussels sprouts, raw bell peppers, and strawberries. Most people get sufficient ascorbic acid through their diet. Others may not be able to absorb enough through diet or ingestible supplements. In these cases, injections may be prescribed.
Other Uses
Ascorbic acid is one of many antioxidants that can protect against damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, as well as toxic chemicals and pollutants like cigarette smoke. Free radicals can build up and contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Ascorbic acid may also be beneficial for patients with colds, macular degeneration, inflammation, skin aging, and in those who have suffered from a stroke.
Vitamin C
(Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin D
Magnesium
Magnesium chloride provides magnesium, a mineral that is important in maintaining the function of our nerves, cells, bones, muscles, and heart. It plays an integral role in the synthesis of energy within cells, creating DNA, and supporting bone density. Most people get enough magnesium through their diet, but sometimes supplementation is necessary. Foods that are high in fiber generally contain high amounts of magnesium as well. These foods include nuts, dark chocolate, avocados, fatty fish, seeds, and whole grains. Magnesium salts are administered in the case of magnesium deficiency; Magnesium chloride is one of the most commonly magnesium salts used medically. Magnesium deficiency is most common in women, African Americans, and the elderly. Conditions such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and stroke have been linked to low blood levels of magnesium. Other situations, such as alcoholism, poor diet, poorly controlled diabetes, diuretic medications also contribute to magnesium deficiency requiring treatment.
Other Uses
Known as “the relaxation mineral”, magnesium may help with lowering stress and anxiety and getting a better nights rest.
Glutamine
Glutathione
L-Glutathione, or simply glutathione, is a powerful antioxidant comprised of amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. Glutathione has many functions. It is vital to mitochondrial function and necessary to produce DNA. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier means it plays an important role in removing toxins, such as mercury, from the brain and other cells. It is key in supporting immune function, metabolism, forming sperm cells, tissue building and repair, and helping with certain enzyme functions. As a powerful antioxidant, it may help fight the effects of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, damage healthy cells, and contribute to aging and certain degenerative illnesses. Unlike most antioxidants, glutathione can be made in the human liver. Glutathione can be found in every cell of the human body. It is also found in many foods, including spinach and avocados, but is poorly absorbed by the body when consumed orally. Supplements that can support glutathione production include curcumin, N-acetylcysteine, selenium, silymarin, vitamin C, and Vitamin E. Glutathione levels in the body naturally decline as we age, but can also be reduced by factors like stress, malnutrition, and environmental toxins.
Other Uses
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and is beneficial for many disease states as well as helping people live a healthier life. It may improve immune response, help to metabolize toxins and activate enzymes, aid the liver in metabolizing alcohol, reduce the amount of fat stored in the belly, help to reduce oxidative stress, and improve complexion.
