What is Cinnulin PF ? Cinnulin PF is a proprietary water soluble extract of Cinnamomum burmannii. The proprietary extraction process helps filter out toxins found in whole cinnamon. It is the only extract standardized for doubly linked Type-A Polymers, specifically tetramers and trimers shown in clinical research to have a host of health benefits, particularly those related to Metabolic Syndrome.* In a recent study, (Ziegenfuss, et al 2007) 83% of those given the active Type A Polymers experienced a significant decrease in fasting blood sugar (about an 8% drop), compared to only 33% in the placebo group. Moreover, subjects additionally showed statistically lower body fat, enhanced lean body mass, lower systolic blood pressure and saw improvements in various antioxidant measures.*   How Does It Work? USDA scientist, Dr. Richard A. Anderson has done extensive research regarding the mechanism of action of the doubly linked Type-A Polymers isolated from water soluble extracts of cinnamon. In one particular study, (Jarvill-Taylor, Anderson, Graves, et al 2001) these polyphenolic polymers increased glucose metabolism roughly 20-fold in vitro. Another study, (Anderson, Broadhurst, Polansky, Schmidt, Khan, Flanagan, Schoene, Graves, et al 2004) demonstrated these polymers were effective mimetics of insulin in vitro. In animals, the doubly linked Type-A Polymers appear to have supporting effects on reducing blood pressure. In humans, Cinnulin PF also appears to support glucose transport mechanisms by enhancing the insulin signaling pathways. Cinnulin PF helps metabolic syndrome factors by supporting healthy glucose levels, body composition and blood pressure in healthy individuals. In yet another human study Cinnulin PF showed significant enhancements in some of the regulatory markers related to lean tissue enhancement. (Willouhby DW, in press) Additional findings noted were enhanced trends in markers mean power and strength.*   Application and Serving Size: Cinnulin PF is an appropriate nutritional support product for healthy glucose levels, body composition, blood pressure and antioxidant function in healthy individuals.* It can be administered in a capsule, tablet, powder or liquid. The recommended serving size for Cinnulin PF is 250 mgs twice daily prior to meals.*   Label   Ingredients   (Cinnamomum burmannii bark) extract (20:1) , Vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water), magnesium stearate and silica.

Product # 373: Coenzyme-B-50 Complex                            Background:   B-vitamins are required for numerous biochemical and physiological processes including the metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) to make energy, support of healthy nervous system function and for cardiovascular function.*  Typically B-vitamins are used as needed and any excess is excreted.  This makes it very important to consume these essential nutrients on a daily basis.  Once B-vitamins are consumed they cannot perform their necessary functions until they are converted into their active coenzyme forms.  Aging, chronic disease and other factors may limit one’s ability to convert B-vitamins into their coenzyme forms.  Our Coenzyme-B50 Complex provides the active coenzyme forms of several essential B-vitamins.  This bypasses the need for conversion, improves absorption, bioavailability and function.*   Features:   High potency B-complex vitamin. Contains additional B-complex vitamins in their coenzyme form. Improved absorption and bioavailability.   Benefits:   Provides the coenzyme forms of thiamin, riboflavin, B6, pantothenic acid and B12.  This offers enhanced absorption, bioavailability and biological activity of these nutrients.* B-vitamins take part in numerous biochemical reactions, mostly related to the production of energy through nutrient metabolism.  The metabolism of carbs, fat and protein requires B-vitamins in their coenzyme forms.* Coenzyme B-vitamins do not require metabolic conversion, and therefore may offer an advantage to certain populations such as the elderly, those with metabolic diseases such as diabetes, and many others.*

Whole Food Magnesium Powder is sourced from whole food marine algae (Lithothamnion calcareum). The source of the magnesium in this formula (Aquamin®) is harvested in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Its unique honeycomb cell structure makes it more bioavailable than many other magnesium products. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body that is part of over three hundred biological processes. Most notably it promotes healthy bones and muscles but it is also instrumental in supporting relaxation and can act as a calmative. *   Features: Non GMO and VEGAN Certified 350 mg of Magnesium per serving sourced from Aquamin®, mineralized red algae is collected in the pristine Arctic waters of Iceland & North Atlantic Convenient effervescent drink mix that mixes easily in water Highly absorbable and fast-acting Free of major food allergens, Contains NO: sugar, dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors Whole Food, Simple and Clean Excipients   Benefits:   Clinical Study supports that Aquamin® ‘is bio-accessible and bioavailable to a significantly greater degree’ than other forms of Magnesium. Magnesium a cofactor for well over 300 biochemical reactions * Magnesium is required for nutrient metabolism and energy production, muscle function and works synergistically with calcium, where calcium is responsible for muscle contraction and magnesium, muscle relaxation. * Magnesium is also essential for maintaining a normal, healthy blood pressure, and is required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, cell membrane function and the activity of hormones, neurotransmitters and other cellular *   Common Questions QUESTION: What is the chemical type of magnesium found in this algae? Is Magnesium Hydroxide or is that only in the marine salt water? I assume that the magnesium in the product is from the algae itself, not the sea water. What is the chemical formula? ANSWER: There are 2 components to the Aquamin™ ingredients. Both types are Magnesium Hydroxide. First, Aquamin™  Mg TG is a natural mineral source produced from pristine Irish seawater.[340 mg of Magnesium/scoop come from this source]. Second, Aquamin™ F is also added: it is produced from mineralized seaweed (Lithothamnion sp.). The seaweed is harvested from the seabed off the West coast of Ireland and North West coast of Iceland from clear, pollution free, mineral rich Atlantic waters. The dried calciferous material is not in but on the seaweed, and when dried, shaken off. {This contributes about 10 mg of Magnesium/scoop]. Aquamin® Mg is from naturally ionic seawater and is a clean, sustainable, and natural source of magnesium. It is a superior whole food source of magnesium, with higher absorption and assimilation rates than more common forms like magnesium. In fact, a study* from the University College Cork, Ireland has shown Aquamin™  Mg is over three times more soluble and absorbable than magnesium oxide (the type most likely to cause diarrhea), and it's even slightly more absorbable than magnesium chloride, which is another better-tolerated type, but which only contains about one-third the amount of elemental magnesium by volume (12%, vs. 33% for Aquamin Mg), meaning you'd have to take far more teaspoons of a magnesium chloride version to get the same dosage as this new type, magnesium hydroxide. * ‘Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability of a Marine-Derived Multimineral, Aquamin-Magnesium’, Valeria D. Felice, Denise M. O’Gorman, Nora M. O’Brien and Niall P. Hyland, Nutrients 2018, 10(7), 912 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30018220/of   QUESTION: What is the Calcium content? Red algae usually has much higher calcium content than Magnesium content, is that true in the product or is calcium taken out? ANSWER: There is not enough Calcium in the remnant material to either require a declaration  or support a claim of calcium on the label.

Background: Since ancient times it has been said that drinking green tea helps promote relaxation and an overall feeling of well-being.  A pioneer in the science of green tea, Taiyo found this relaxation effect to be due to the presence of the amino acid L-theanine. Suntheanine® is the trade name for Taiyo's patented, pure form of L-theanine.  Suntheanine® has been used in more clinical studies than any other L-theanine.  Studies show Suntheanine® to have significant affects on anxiety and other stress-related mechanisms in the body, as well as the ability to promote relaxation and sleep.*   Features:   Each serving provides 100 mg of Suntheanine®, the leading brand of L-theanine in the world. Most well studied and scientifically documented L-theanine in the industry. Suntheanine® has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, all of which demonstrate significant benefits. Manufactured by Taiyo International, world leaders in the research and manufacturing of L-theanine.   Benefits:   Suntheanine® helps reduce the acute psychological and physiological responses elicited by specific types of mental stress.* Suntheanine® helps support significant brain alpha-wave activity.  This increase supports a role for Suntheanine in achieving a relaxed, but alert mental state through a direct influence on the central nervous system.*  Suntheanine® has been shown to help support a healthy blood pressure, possibly by promoting brain alpha-wave activity (reflective of a relaxed state), as well as helping to counteract the stimulatory effects of caffeine. Suntheanine® has been shown to help provide support for PMS-related health issues.*  Ingredients SunTheanine® It has been estimated that nearly 65 percent of the adult population experiences some form of stress, and these numbers are continually rising. Since ancient times, it has been said that drinking green tea induces relaxation. A pioneer in the science of green tea, Taiyo found this relaxation effect to be due to the presence of the amino acid L-theanine, found almost exclusively in tea. Clinical research suggests that 50 mg – 200 mg Suntheanine stimulates activity in the brain known as alpha waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental state. Suntheanine is the trade name for Taiyo’s patented pure form of L-theanine. Suntheanine is not an extract of green tea but rather is produced via a patented process that mimics the natural process in green tea leaves, resulting in a 100% pure L-isomer-theanine. HOW DOES IT WORK? Human clinical trials have shown Suntheanine to promote an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness, as indicated by an increase in Alpha brain waves, and a decrease in Beta brain waves.* The brain emits weak electrical impulses that can be measured on the surface of the head, which are classified based on their frequency:

In addition to serving as a delivery system for the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste material, the intestinal tract also plays important roles in maintaining healthy immunity and providing resistance to pathogens. The GI tract is populated by billions of cells of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) which help us digest and absorb our food, maintain a healthy intestinal pH (acid content), protect us from pathogenic bacteria, and provide an environment conducive to the continued health of the intestinal tract.* This formula offers a very high potency of powerful probiotics that can effectively intervene in acute gastrointestinal and immune conditions and or help support long-term intestinal health.*   Features: 12 probiotic strains from Danisco, a world leader in probiotic research and manufacturing. Very high potency at 100 billion viable cells per capsule. Bioenhanced Acid Resistant Strains (BEARS) ensures survivability in both low (acid) and high (alkaline) pH environments. The BEARS strains in this formula are designed to withstand the acid conditions present in the stomach during digestion without the need for an enteric coating. Danisco selects strains that have been cultivated under harsh conditions, and have developed the ability to adapt to extreme changes in the environment (“survival of the fittest”) i.e. pH, temperature. Probiotic strains are manufactured using a patented poly matrix preservation system, to preserve and ensure stability without the need for refrigeration. The prebiotic blend consists of FOS (food source for probiotics), and FiberAid®arabinogalactans (patented prebiotic from Lonza® that helps support the growth of probiotics).   Benefits: The 12 strains used in this formula have been studied for their ability to support gastrointestinal and immune health.* High potency formula helps to quickly reestablish healthy levels of probiotics in the GI tract.* Once established, a normal, healthy intestinal microflora helps to create an environment that is unfavorable for the growth of pathogenic bacteria.* Helps stimulate the growth of probiotics which have been diminished by the use of antibiotics.*   Ingredients
