In research supported by the National Institute of Health, the theory as to why Calcium Citrate shows superior absorption to Calcium Carbonate is elucidated in an excerpt from the study:  Comparison of the absorption of calcium carbonate and calcium citrate after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass "Several studies have shown that the absorption of calcium carbonate is more dependent on gastric acid secretion than calcium citrate [31–36]. A previous study in healthy, postmenopausal women with varying degrees of gastric acid secretion reported a 2.5-fold higher intestinal calcium absorption following a single test load of calcium citrate than calcium carbonate [37]."  Published online 2009 May 13. doi: 10.1007/s11695-009-9850-6   The process of building and maintaining bone structure involves numerous biochemical and physiological processes. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone). Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes that help dissolve “old” bone tissue into calcium and other components, some of which may be reused by the body. The balance of building and breaking down bone involves a complex interplay between various nutrients, hormones, and other biochemicals. Our Calcium Citrate formula with Vitamin D is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.†   Features Provides calcium as citrate. Contains added Vitamin D for its role in supporting healthy bone structure.†   Benefits Promotes bone growth, density, and strength.† Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.† Calcium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of calcium for supporting the normal, healthy structure of bone tissue.† Vitamin D helps support calcium absorption and reduces the amount of calcium lost from bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several of which involve supporting bone health.†   LABEL

Zinc is a trace mineral that is essential to many biological functions. Zinc, a nutrient found throughout your body, helps your immune system and metabolism function. Zinc is also important to wound healing and your sense of taste and smell. With a varied diet, your body usually gets enough zinc.† Zinc even impacts taste and smell: a zinc deficiency may be noticed by a simple loss of taste and smell. It is important for the function of over 100 special proteins known as enzymes, which are needed to speed up chemical reactions in the body.† Features USDA Organic and VEGAN Certified Whole Food, Non GMO, Simple and Clean Excipients 15 mg of Zinc (from Organic Guava and Zinc Chelate) 200 mg of Organic Whole Food Blend from 16 Fruits, Veggies, Herbs and Mushrooms Contains No dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.   Benefits The body needs zinc to make DNA, RNA, insulin, dozens of enzymatic reactions, and to facilitate immune response and cellular repair and renewal. Chelated zinc may be vitally important for healthy skin, connective tissue and normal prostate function.† Testing suggests that the chelated minerals are absorbed two to six times better than non-chelated minerals.† Studies also show that prophylactic (preventive) use of zinc lozenges may reduce the number of colds per year, as well as reduce antibiotic usage.† Studies show zinc enhances immune support and may reduce the severity and duration of seasonal disorders. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Oral zinc supplements might benefit people with low levels of zinc. Taken soon after cold symptoms appear, zinc might also shorten the length of a cold.”†

The liver is a complex organ with a variety of functions. It plays a major role in the detoxification of endotoxins (metabolically produced) and xenobiotics (environmental). Detoxification is a process that involves several different organs and occurs primarily in the liver. The liver achieves this through two distinct phases whereby it prepares the toxins for excretion. Some toxins are excreted through the bile, and others through the kidneys. In phase 1, toxins are transformed into intermediate compounds which are then neutralized by phase 2 enzymes making them easier for the body to excrete.   Features Comprehensive liver support formula, containing a synergistic combination of B-vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other nutraceuticals. Contains milk thistle and other standardized extracts such as turmeric, artichoke, and picrorhiza. Contains SelenoExcell® and NAC for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione production, respectively. SelenoExcell® is the most researched form of selenium. Provides methyl donors folic acid, B12, and choline. Contains the antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin C.   Benefits Milk Thistle extract has been documented in many scientific studies to provide support to the liver. It helps protect liver cells from toxins, and helps support liver detoxification processes.† Contains vitamin B6 which is integral to amino acid and glucose metabolism in the liver.† Folic acid, B12, and choline are methyl donors. All of these nutrients help contribute methyl groups to support liver detoxification.† This process makes toxins easier to excrete.† NAC serves as a precursor for the synthesis of glutathione in the liver. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, which, along with vitamin C and other nutrients, helps provide antioxidant support to the liver.† Glutathione also helps support liver detoxification processes.† Choline helps support fat metabolism in the liver, which helps support healthy liver function.† Selenium as SelenoExcell® helps support glutathione peroxidase (powerful antioxidant enzyme) activity.† The active curcuminoids in turmeric have been shown to be powerful antioxidants, and also help support normal, healthy liver detoxification.† Picrorhiza kurroa extract as Picroliv® from Sabinsa has been shown in studies to support healthy liver function.† Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant and studies show it to be a powerful protector of normal, healthy liver function.† Artichoke and boldo extract help support the production and excretion of bile, which is one way the body excretes toxins.† Burdock root, dandelion, and yellow dock have traditionally been used as “cleansing” herbs which help to support liver, gall bladder, and kidney elimination processes.†
