AP DIM CGD COMPLEX   This Professional formula was developed to maximize the absorption of the Key Ingredients through a variety of non-favorable digestive conditions. Each capsule is maximized as well for these key ingredients while keeping it easy to swallow as to not discourage dosing protocols.  The DIM (Diindolylmethane)  is maintained at a respectable 150mg per capsule as well a decent dose of Calcium D-Glucarate. Developers for AlchePharma decided to add an additional 50mg. of Broccoli extract not just for the health benefits, but may yield an enzymatic synergistic advantage missing from just standard DIM isolates. AP DIM CDG COMPLEX: •Hormone Optimization,Estrogen Regulation/Metabolism:  Studies on both DIM(Diindolylmethane) and CDG (Calcium D-Glucarate) have shown to metabolize/inhibit excessive Estrogen production. Estrogen management also may lead to more optimal Free Testosterone levels, creating Optimal Hormone levels having a positive effect on overall Mood & Body Composition. •Lipid(Cholesterol) Management:  CDG has been shown to Optimize Lipid(Cholesterol) Profile. In conjunction with Regulating Hormone levels, which influence Lipids(Cholesterol Levels), CDG  itself aiding to manage Lipid levels. •Potent Broccoli 4:1 Extract:  Synergistically amplifying DIM (Diindolylmethane) & CDG (Calcium D-Glucarate), truly creating an efficacious Product. • BioPerine:  A step Further increasing absorption & Ingredient Effectiveness. •Cellular Detoxification Benefits:  Metabolism of hormones such as estrogen has been shown to go through through a detoxification process in the Liver. Calcium D-Glucarate has been shown to aid through this process of metabolism by helping eliminate toxins, and their reabsorption and Proliferation of Estrogen.   LABEL

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 ti sue 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 Hi-Potency Calcium/Magnesium formula is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support some of the complex biochemical and physiological processes involved in building and maintaining a strong, healthy bone structure.†   Features Provides a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, two important nutrients essential for bone structure. Contains vitamin D3 essential for overall bone health. Provides the essential trace mineral boron for its synergistic effects. Betaine HCL helps create a low pH (acidic) environment.   Benefits Promotes bone growth, density, and strength.† Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.† The combination of calcium citrate, carbonate, and amino acid chelate provides sources of calcium with good bioavailability. Magnesium citrate and amino acid chelate are both highly bioavailable forms of magnesium and magnesium oxide contain a very high level of elemental magnesium. All provide structural support for bone tissue and magnesium is a cofactor for many important biochemical processes in the body, including supporting vitamin D metabolism and function.† Boron is an essential trace mineral required for various hormonal process that impact bone health and helps support the functions of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.† Betaine hydrochloride is added for its ability to help contribute to a low pH (high acidity) environment which is conducive to calcium absorption.†   LABEL

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.   Features High potency vitamin C 1000mg Buffered with Calcium and Sodium Bioflavonoids for capillary and soft tissue repair 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, and 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

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.
