Balanced B-100 Complex Caps with Choline, PABA and Inositol ( Preservative free )
Background: As coenzymes (help enzymes carry out chemical reactions) B-vitamins are essential nutrients involved in most metabolic reactions. They play an important role in energy production, particularly from the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. These essential nutrients are also important for the production of healthy cells, hormones, neurotransmitters and other vital biochemicals. They are needed for healthy nerve, heart, brain, muscle and other important cell/tissue function. The B-vitamins are water-soluble and therefore, not stored to any significant extent in the body. This is why we need to ensure adequate intakes of these nutrients on a daily basis. Due to the excess consumption of refined and processed foods, the average person does not consume optimal amounts of these nutrients. Our B-Complex-50 and B-Complex-100 provide moderate to high amounts of essential B-Complex vitamins. Features: Available in B-Complex 50 and B-Complex 100 strengths. B-Complex 50 provides a moderate-potency and B-Complex 100 a high-potency, full spectrum B-vitamin supplement which helps support many different biochemical and physiological processes. B-complex contains USP grade nutrients and, therefore, meets strict standards for purity and potency. Benefits Thiamin, riboflavin and niacin are essential for the production of energy from food. They also help support, nerve and heart function and help the body produce antioxidants.* Vitamin B6 is needed to make neurotransmitters, chemicals that are essential for normal, healthy brain and nervous system function. B6 also helps support the metabolism of amino acids, individual components found in protein foods.* Vitamin B12 and folic acid are both needed to make healthy blood cells, by supporting DNA and RNA metabolism and both help support normal, healthy levels of homocysteine; a recognized cardiovascular “toxin”.* Pantothenic acid is needed to produce energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins, while biotin is essential for the metabolism of fatty acids and glucose and assists in cellular energy production.* Choline is needed to help support the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and serves as an important cofactor in healthy liver detoxification processes.* Inositol serves as a signaling molecule helping to “direct” cellular function while PABA serves as a component of folic acid.*

L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, commonly known as Branched Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs, cannot be produced by the body and must be consumed through diet or dietary supplements. They are essential to building and maintaining muscle tissue and have long been used by athletes and other active individuals to activate protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown caused by intense training or physical activity.Vegetarian BCAA 1,000 mg- Branch Chain Amino Acids with Glutamine and B VitaminsBCAA's and Glutamine are essential to building and maintaining muscle tissue.BCAA's activate protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown caused by intense training or physical activity.Glutamine is the most abundant building block of protein in the body. The body can make enough glutamine for its regular needs. But during times of extreme stress (i.e. after intense exercise or an injury), your body may need more glutamine than it can make. Glutamine plays a major role in helping your muscles repair themselves after stressPubChem notes that one of the main roles L-glutamine plays in muscle recovery is moving nitrogen atoms from wherever they are to where they are needed. To build muscle, you need to maintain a positive nitrogen balance. After a heavy workout, rushing nitrogen to your damaged muscles stimulates tissue repair. If glutamine is lacking in the body, the damaged tissue may stay damaged because it doesn't have the materials to rebuild. Label

Beta Carotene Patented Betatene®, 100% Natural Mixed carotenoids (Dunaliella Salina) Micro Algae
Background: Beta-carotene is a red-orange colored phytochemical found in high amounts in various fruits and vegetables (i.e. carrots and sweet potatoes). Beta-carotene is known as provitamin A. Provitamin A, unlike preformed vitamin A (retinol) must be converted into vitamin A before it can be used as vitamin A by the body. In addition to its role as a precursor to vitamin A, beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant. Our natural beta-carotene is from patented Betatene®. Betatene is derived from the nutrient-rich sea algae, dunaliella salina, which delivers a concentrated mix of naturally-occurring carotenoids, including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lutein. Features: Betatene® brand natural mixed carotenoids. Includes naturally-occurring beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lutein. Provides 25,000 IU beta-carotene per serving. Easy-to swallow softgel. Benefits: Serves as a precursor to vitamin A which is essential for normal, healthy vision, immune function, skin health and normal cell growth.* Beta-carotene provides antioxidant protection helping to neutralize free radicals.* Carotenoids alpha-carotene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lutein provide synergistic benefits such as antioxidant protection, as well as support of skin and eye health.* Ingredients Betatene® Betatene—Australia’s Own Natural Beta-Carotene Monday, September 11th, 2017 Betatene Australia’s Own Natural Beta Carotene Natural pink lagoons found in Australia contain an important health ingredient produced by algae, dunaliella salina. This article discusses the health benefits of algae beta-carotene and shows how betatene® from BASF can be incorporated into effective consumer solutions. By Dr Kai Lin Ek and Dr Ute Obermueller Jevic, scientific marketing managers, BASF Nutrition and Health Betatene—Australia’s Own Natural Beta Carotene 1 With a growing appreciation globally for products that are ‘natural’ and ‘Australian’, BASF’s natural beta-carotene can well and truly meet this demand. This naturally occurring beta-carotene is derived from algae, Dunaliella salina, grown in open-air seawater lagoons at two BASF sites—in Whyalla (South Australia) and in Hutt Lagoon (Western Australia). In these lagoons, Dunaliella salina is exposed to the full brunt of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation and has evolved a special mechanism for defending itself from the radiation’s damaging effects. As a protective mechanism to UV stress, the algae produces carotenoids, predominantly beta-carotene, which is then stored in lipid droplets within the algaes’ chloroplasts. WHAT IS BETA-CAROTENE? Beta-carotene is a naturally occurring, red-orange pigment found abundantly in foods like carrots, pumpkins as well as sweet potatoes and is the best known pro-vitamin A of all carotenoids. It is also traditionally considered to be the most important carotenoid in the human diet. Beta-carotene can act as a filter of UV light, is an antioxidant and a modulator of cell growth that helps protect the body against the most common non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. DELVING DEEPER INTO BETA-CAROTENE FROM ALGAE ‘Natural’ beta-carotene, such as that found in many fruits and vegetables or grown from algae contains a different mix of isomers compared to those produced synthetically. Specifically, algae-based beta-carotene contains almost equal amounts of trans and cis geometrical isomers of beta-carotene, and in particular the 9-cis isomer. In contrast, beta-carotene from synthesis or fermentation only contains trans isomers. Isomers refer to molecules that have the same formula but a different shape, thus resulting in different properties. The cis isomers of beta-carotene occur naturally in fruits, vegetables and algae; they can be formed during food preparation upon heating; during storage of supplements and during digestion in the human body. Considerable amounts of cis-isomers of beta-carotene are also present in various human and animal tissues. Observations support the suggestion that beta-carotene isomers may possess isomer-specific biological actions. All-trans and 9-cis beta-carotene, in particular, have received the most attention because both are involved in gene regulation. While all-trans isomers have a higher potency in terms of vitamin-A activity, 9-cis beta-carotene appears to have better antioxidant activity and specific benefits in heart, eye, and skin. 9-CIS BETA-CAROTENE FOR SUPERIOR ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY Studies from bench-top and animal experiments indicate 9-cis beta-carotene may be a better antioxidant than the all-trans isomer. In a human trial with asthma patients, supplementation with algae beta-carotene helped to prevent post-exercise symptoms. Antioxidant benefits of 9-cis beta-carotene were also shown in humans, although not yet in direct comparison with all-trans beta-carotene. Thirty-four patients received a week of oral supplementation with a placebo or 64 mg/day beta-carotene. All patients given placebo showed a significant post-exercise reduction of more than 15 percent in their forced expiratory volume in one second. Of the 38 patients who received a daily dose of 64 mg of beta-carotene for one week, 53 percent were protected against exercise-induced airway symptoms. The authors concluded that the results indicate that a daily dose of beta-carotene from an algae source exerts protection in some patients, most probably through antioxidant effects. NUTRITIONAL SOLUTION FOR SUN PROTECTION Betatene Nutritional Solution For Sun Protection UV radiation exerts a number of detrimental effects to human skin. The most familiar one is an acute sunburn reaction, which is a reddening (erythema) and swelling (edema) of the skin developing within minutes or hours after excessive exposure to sunlight and tanning beds. Chronic exposure to UV radiation causes long-term skin damage like skin cancer and premature skin ageing. While skin cancer is mainly due to exposure to UVB light (290-320 nm), exposure to UVA light (320-400 nm) leads to premature skin ageing, which manifests as fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and, in severe cases, precancerous lesions. UVA is less potent than UVB in causing acute skin responses but penetrates to the middle skin layer (dermis) and causes damage to the area where new skin cells are created. Avoiding too much sun exposure and topical application of sunscreens prior to exposure represent the established strategies for protection against sunburn and skin damage. In recent years, however, providing additional nutritional protection of the skin has been discussed and among the substances that are being suggested for such a nutritional approach is beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a potent biological antioxidant. It is a strong singlet oxygen quencher in in vitro studies and experiments in animal models indicate that beta-carotene may provide skin photo protection in vivo. UVB induced skin erythema is due to the formation of reactive oxygen species in irradiated skin and the antioxidative nature of beta-carotene is able to stop free radicals that otherwise would damage DNA, proteins and lipids. Studies show that oral intake beta-carotene accumulates in the skin and in addition to antioxidative effects has other photo-protective effects in high concentrations by absorbing and/or reflecting visible and UV light. In a meta-analysis by Kopcke et al. (2008), the authors looked at human supplementation studies on dietary protection against sunburn using beta-carotene. The authors concluded the following: · Photo-protection induced by oral beta-carotene supplementation is always present homogenously in the whole skin compared to topical application which requires re-application and the worry of “missing a spot”; · Protection using dietary supplementation of beta-carotene required a minimum of 10 weeks of supplementation and for every additional month of supplementation, the degree of protection increased; · Nutritional supplementation is complementary to topical application of sunscreens for photo-protection and should be combined. Notably, three of the seven studies highlighted in the meta-analysis used algae beta-carotene, and these studies showed the strongest results favouring the use of beta-carotene supplementation over a placebo in sunburn prevention. OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS—HEART HEALTH AND EYE HEALTH Atherosclerosis is a condition in most cardiovascular diseases, where the walls of the arteries become thick and stiff because of fatty deposit accumulation. In experimental and clinical studies, algae source 9-cis beta-carotene had positive effects on heart health. In arterial walls, it can inhibit the formation of foam cells from macrophages, which is a key process in atherosclerosis. This was shown in an experimental study in mice using beta-carotene with 50 percent all-trans and 50 percent 9-cis isomers. Feeding algae extract increased beta-carotene levels in plasma and macrophages (both all-trans and 9-cis isomers) and it inhibited formation of pro-atherogenic foam cells. In the same study, pure 9-cis beta-carotene as well as an extract of algae powder inhibited foam cell formation while pure all-trans beta-carotene failed to have an effect. Other carotenoids present in the algae extract including phytoene and phytofluene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and alpha-carotene were tested in comparison but were not as effective as 9-cis betacarotene or the algae extract. In another mice study, researchers found that a diet containing natural carotenoids, rich in 9-cis beta-carotene, had the potential to inhibit atherosclerosis progression, particularly in a high-fat diet regime. In patients with cardiovascular disease, 9-cis betacarotene in combination with drug therapy improved HDL-cholesterol levels. This was observed by Shaish et al. (2006) where 20 fibrate-treated men with plasma HDL-cholesterol levels below 40 mg/dl were given 60 mg beta-carotene/day, containing all-trans and 9-cis betacarotene at a one to one ratio. The results show that a combination treatment of fibrate plus 9-cis beta-carotene amplifies the effect of the drug on HDL-cholesterol levels. Several studies have suggested that 9-cis beta-carotene, as a precursor of 9-cis-retinal and all-trans-retinal, could also have therapeutic applications in vision loss. In patients with retinitis pigmentosa, the leading cause of incurable inherited blindness in the developed world, algae source 9-cis beta-carotene improved eye (retina) function which was shown in a clinical trial by Rotenstreich et al. (2013). The authors concluded that 9-cis beta-carotene may represent a new therapeutic approach for some patients with retinitis pigmentosa. This finding is consistent with recent reports of significant functional and structural improvements after treatment in mouse-model experimental studies. For retinal dystrophy leading to night blindness, in another small human trial by Rotenstreich et al. (2010) there was an improvement in visual function and structure after supplementation of 60mg/day algae beta-carotene containing an equal ratio of trans to cis isomers for 90 days. All of the subjects showed significant improvements in peripheral visual field and a highly significant improvement in rod cell recovery rates. While the precise mechanism of the observed beneficial effect has not yet been established, it indicates potential for algae beta-carotene therapy in yet another area of eye health. BETATENE—BASF’S TRULY NATURAL MIXED CAROTENOIDS Sourced from marine algae and grown in saltwater lagoons in Australia, the carotenoids are harvested free of chemical solvents, and are carefully extracted and formulated using natural plant oils. Betatene is cultivated using the most natural manufacturing process of a beta-carotene without human interference on its carotenoid profile or mix. Betatene provides a unique blend of carotenoids similar to that found in fruits and vegetables. While beta-carotene is the dominant carotenoid, also naturally present are alpha-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and crytoxanthin. Approved in all major markets and meeting all standards, Betatene contains up to 90 percent beta-carotene and thereof 37 percent 9-cis beta-carotene (best ratio 63:37). It is available as cold water dispersible (CWD) powders for beverage applications, oily dispersions for application in food and soft capsules as well as direct compressible (DC) powders for tablet and hard gelatin capsule applications. In addition, Betatene is also safe for use as a colour in many foods, and has shown excellent stability in target food and beverage applications. With decades of use history, proven science-based findings and produced under BASF’s highest quality standards, this well-known natural ingredient with its wide spectrum of health benefits can bring better well-being and improve health of consumers all over the world.

Bone Support, Fructoborate (FRUITEX-B®), Hydroxyapatite, Citrate Advanced Formula
When it comes to bone health there are several nutrients that help build and maintain strong, healthy bones. For many years, most individuals relied solely on calcium as a way to support bone growth and protect their bones against the ravages of aging. More recent studies show several nutrients are essential for helping to build and maintain strong, healthy bone structures throughout life. Nutrients such as vitamins D and K along with minerals like magnesium, and boron have been shown to play a major role in bone health. After a thorough review of the scientific literature, we have developed Bone Support. This formula is a scientifically advanced, synergistic combination of vitamins, minerals, and other cofactors, which together, help support the ongoing processes of building, remodeling, and maintaining healthy bone structure. When taken on a daily basis, the nutrients in Bone Support can help support the many complex biochemical and physiological processes that are essential to maintaining optimal bone health.* Features: • Comprehensive, synergistic combination of essential nutrients designed to support the formation and maintenance of healthy bone structure.*• Provides 1,000 mg of combined calcium citrate, hydroxyapatite, and fructoborate.• Offers a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, and includes magnesium as the better absorbed citrate form.• Contains 1000 IU of Vitamin D3, a critical nutrient for bone health deficient in about 50% of Americans.• Vitamin K2 as the highly bioavailable and well utilized menaquinone-7 form; derived from fermented soy. • Patented ingredients L-OptiZinc® and FruiteX B®.• Vitamin C, copper, manganese, potassium, silicon and betaine HCL provided for their synergistic effects. Benefits: • The combination of calcium citrate, hydroxyapatite and fructoborate provides well absorbed and highly bioavailable sources of calcium. Extensive research demonstrates the role of calcium in supporting bone health and reducing the risk for bone-related disorders.*• Vitamin D helps promote intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption and helps reduce urinary calcium loss, essential mechanisms for helping to maintain normal, healthy calcium levels and support overall bone health. Vitamin D also helps maintain a balanced activity between osteoblasts (bone building cells) and osteoclasts (bone dissolving cells), critical for the continuous remodeling of bone structure.*• Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 the most bioavailable, bioactive form of vitamin K. Vitamin K2 helps activate osteocalcin, a calcium-binding protein required for building strong, healthy bone tissue.*• Magnesium is a major component of bone tissue and is also required for the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) which stimulates the body to produce the active form of vitamin D, which along with PTH helps reduce urinary calcium losses.*• FruiteX B®, a patented calcium-boron complex known as calcium fructoborate. Studies demonstrate its ability to support mineral metabolism, healthy levels of vitamin D, and both male and female hormone production, all of which are critical to maintaining bone health.*• L-OptiZinc®, has been demonstrated in studies to be better absorbed and utilized by the body than other forms of zinc. This important trace mineral is essential for vitamin D receptor activity, as well as the activity of enzymes involved in maintaining normal blood pH and bone mineralization.* • Zinc, copper and manganese serve as cofactors for the production and stability of collagen, the underlying structural component of bone tissue.*• Silicon helps support collagen production and strength as well as the process of bone mineralization.*• Betaine HCL helps support mineral absorption, particularly that of calcium.* LABEL

Buffered C Crystals (Calcium Ascorbate) Non Acidic
Calcium ascorbate is a form of vitamin C that is buffered with calcium. This means that it is less acidic than other forms of vitamin C, such as ascorbic acid, and is therefore gentler on the stomach. Calcium ascorbate is also more stable than other forms of vitamin C, so it is less likely to break down during digestion. Calcium ascorbate is a good source of both calcium and vitamin C. Calcium is important for strong bones and teeth, and vitamin C is important for a healthy immune system, wound healing, and the production of collagen. In addition to its nutritional benefits, calcium ascorbate may also have some other health benefits. For example, some studies have shown that calcium ascorbate may help to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. It may also help to improve blood pressure, blood sugar control, and cognitive function. However, more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits. Overall, calcium ascorbate is a safe and effective way to get your daily dose of calcium and vitamin C. It is a good choice for people who are looking for a gentler form of vitamin C or who want to get the added benefit of calcium. Here are some of the specific benefits of calcium ascorbate: Improves immune function: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to protect cells from damage. It is also essential for the production of white blood cells, which are part of the body's immune system. Calcium ascorbate can help to boost the immune system and fight off infection. Promotes wound healing: Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen, which is a protein that helps to heal wounds. Calcium ascorbate can help to speed up the healing process of cuts, scrapes, and burns. Maintains bone health: Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth. Calcium ascorbate can help to prevent osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle. Reduces the risk of heart disease: Vitamin C has been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Calcium ascorbate may also have these benefits. Lowers blood pressure: Vitamin C has been shown to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. Calcium ascorbate may also have this benefit. Improves blood sugar control: Vitamin C may help to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. Calcium ascorbate may also have this benefit. Protects against cancer: Some studies have shown that vitamin C may help to protect against certain types of cancer, such as lung cancer and colon cancer. Calcium ascorbate may also have these benefits. If you are considering taking calcium ascorbate, talk to your doctor first. They can help you determine if it is right for you and recommend the best dosage.

C-1,000mg ( ascorbic acid ) with 50 mg Rose Hips -Soy Corn Gluten Free
Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin with many important functions in the body. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an important cofactor for the production and stability of collagen. The stability and strength of connective tissue, blood vessels, etc. depend upon vitamin C. The body’s ability to manufacture neurotransmitters as well as L-carnitine (required for fat metabolism) depends upon the optimal intake of vitamin C. In addition to its role in manufacturing important biological compounds, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and helps support normal, healthy immune function. Rosehips, in addition to being an excellent source of vitamin C, contain a wide range of beneficial phytochemicals including polyphenols such as anthocyanins as well as beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein. These biologically-active compounds provide a synergistic effect, helping to provide structural and functional support to major body systems including the cardiovascular, immune, and neurological systems.† Features High-potency vitamin C, also available as 500mg C-1000mg is available in both a regular and sustained release tablet. Offers the synergistic benefits of naturally-occurring compounds found in rose hips. Gluten-free Benefits Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis and stability of collagen, the underlying structure of bone, skin, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, and other body tissue. Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for the manufacturing of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and epinephrine, essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system.† The transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cell where they are used to make energy (ATP) requires L-carnitine which cannot be manufactured without vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant helping to neutralize peroxyl and hydroxyl free radicals as well as regenerating the antioxidants vitamin E and glutathione back to their reduced forms (form in which they serve as antioxidants).† Vitamin C helps to limit the production of nitrosamines from nitrites found in foods such as hot dogs, bacon, and cold cuts. Nitrosamines have been shown to be potentially harmful to the body.† Vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system. Histamine is secreted by the body in response to allergens and infections. Vitamin C has been shown to help support normal, healthy levels of histamine. In addition, vitamin C supports healthy levels of interferon and normal, healthy white blood cell activity; both critical to healthy immune function.† LABEL

Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D Tablets
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
