Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of mortality in the United States. One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is elevated total and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. There are several categories of prescription drugs that are designed to help lower cholesterol; the most commonly prescribed being Statin drugs. Statins are effective at lowering total and LDL cholesterol, but they are associated with significant side effects. Many individuals with elevated cholesterol have been able to improve their cardiovascular health through diet, exercise, and nutraceutical supplements. One of the nutraceuticals that have been shown in research studies to support normal LDL and total cholesterol levels is red yeast rice. Red yeast rice is the product of yeast (Monascus purpureus) grown on rice, and is served as a dietary staple in some Asian countries. It contains several compounds that are collectively known as monacolins which support the mechanisms that can lead to improved cardiovascular health.†   Features 600mg of red yeast rice per serving. Carefully manufactured to avoid the presence of citrinin, a toxic by-product of the fermentation process. Easy to swallow vegetarian capsule Gluten-Free   Benefits Red yeast rice has been shown in numerous studies to help support cardiovascular health.† Supports normal triglyceride, LDL, and total cholesterol levels.† Red yeast rice offers a safe option for supporting healthy cholesterol levels. Red yeast rice should be used with Coenzyme Q10 for maximum benefit.†   LABEL

Unlock the latent potential of nature’s most revered adaptogen with AlchePharma Organic Cordyceps. While the market is flooded with imported mushroom extracts of questionable origin, our formulation stands apart by utilizing 100% U.S. Grown Cordyceps sinensis mycelium. Cultivated in a sterile, strictly controlled domestic environment, we eliminate the heavy metal and pesticide contamination risks often associated with wild-harvested fungi from overseas. This is not merely a dried mushroom powder; it is a sophisticated bio-matrix standardized to contain a minimum of 40% polysaccharides (400mg per serving). Most generic mycelium products contain only 5-7% active compounds—we deliver nearly 8x that potency. By focusing on the mycelial stage, AlchePharma captures a broader spectrum of enzymatic activity and cellular nutrients often lost in other extraction methods. Encapsulated in a premium Organic Pullulan capsule (a natural, oxygen-barrier polymer), this product offers the cleanest, most potent respiratory and energy support available today. What Makes AlchePharma Organic Cordyceps Different? The "Organic Purity" Advantage: Unlike wild-foraged cordyceps which can absorb environmental toxins (such as lead and arsenic) from the soil, our U.S. Grown mycelium is cultivated on organic substrates in a closed, contaminant-free system. Guaranteed Potency (40% vs. The Standard): Many competitors sell non-standardized "mushroom dust." We standardize our extract to 40% Polysaccharides, ensuring you get a consistent, therapeutic dose of immunomodulating beta-glucans in every capsule. Cleanest Delivery System: We use Organic Pullulan Capsules, which provide a superior oxygen barrier compared to standard veggie caps, protecting the delicate mushroom compounds from oxidation while remaining 100% natural and vegan. Eco-Conscious Production: Our lab-grown method protects the delicate Himalayan ecosystem by removing the need to harvest wild caterpillar fungi, making this a sustainable and ethical choice. Ingredients: Active Ingredient: Organic Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) Mushroom Mycelium Powder (Standardized to 40% polysaccharides [400mg]).

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) has been used for centuries in Siberia and other parts of Asia as a medicine to boost immunity and improve overall health, energy, and endurance. Chaga is gaining popularity in the Western world. Ugly in appearance, the Chaga mushroom is a fungus that grows primarily on birch trees in cold climates. With an appearance similar to burnt charcoal, it has been harvested for centuries as traditional medicine. Chaga mushroom has beneficial antioxidant properties. The antioxidant effects of the mushroom may be partly explained by its protection of cell components against free radicals. Chaga is a valuable supplement to inhibit oxidative stress in general.† Features 2 Vegetarian Capsules providing 1g of Organic Chaga (Inonotus obliquus ) Mushroom Mycelium Powder U.S. Grown Standardized to 40% polysaccharides, 400 mg Contains no: sugar, salt, dairy, wheat, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors. Gluten Free, Non GMO, and Vegan Benefits Widely recognized as an Antioxidant Superfood, Chaga helps to stimulate the most powerful antioxidant in the body, Superoxide Dismutase, which may help to protect against oxidative stress.† Studies suggest that Chaga can positively impact immunity by reducing long-term inflammatory stress.† Chaga stimulates white blood cells, which are known and essential for fighting off harmful bacteria or viruses.† Chaga mushroom has been found to have a positive effect on sports performance, helping to support stamina and endurance by supporting oxygen flow.† Exercise, especially intense or long-duration forms, creates a lot of free radicals in the body which can cause damage.

Vitamin E is the term used for the family of eight compounds that possess vitamin E activity. The eight compounds are alpha, beta, gamma, delta-tocopherol, and tocotrienol. Vitamin E represents the body’s major fat-soluble antioxidant. This means that it works effectively in parts of the body where lipids (fats) are located, such as the cell membrane, where it helps protect the fats in the membrane from free radical damage.† Protecting the cell membrane is critical for maintaining the overall health of all body cells. Vitamin E also helps support healthy immune and cardiovascular function.† All vitamin E from AlchePharma is natural vitamin E. Synthetic vitamin E is not the same as natural and has significantly less biological activity. While d-alpha is the most well-known and most researched member of the vitamin E “family”, gamma-tocopherol possesses unique characteristics that complement the biological effects of alpha-tocopherol. This formula contains a high amount of alpha-tocopherol along with smaller amounts of beta, gamma, and delta-tocopherol for a synergistic effect.† Features Alpha-tocopherol is the most recognized form of vitamin E. Beta, gamma and delta tocopherols are naturally occurring in our foods as part of the vitamin E complex and are included here for their synergistic effects. Gamma-tocopherol has been and continues to be the focus of several research studies.   Benefits Alpha-tocopherol has the ability to work in the body as a lipid-soluble antioxidant, helping neutralize already formed free radicals.† Numerous research studies over the years have demonstrated the powerful antioxidant effects of alpha-tocopherol.† Gamma-tocopherol helps support nitric oxide (NO) production; NO supports cardiovascular health.† Alpha-tocopherol helps neutralize free radicals that have already formed and gamma-tocopherol inhibit the production of free radicals, these mechanisms demonstrate the synergy between these two forms of vitamin E.† It is difficult to obtain the number of tocopherols needed to achieve optimal health through diet alone, therefore supplementation is important, as demonstrated by numerous published research studies.†   LABEL

Joint disease, mainly osteoarthritis, is a potentially debilitating condition that affects the soft tissue matrix that “cushions” our joints. To help support the structural integrity of joint cartilage, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM all offer significant benefits.† Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are both integral components of healthy joint tissue and are the forms that have been used in the major clinical trials. OptiMSM® provides a synergistic benefit, as it is a source of sulfur, a trace mineral that is an important structural component of joint cartilage. We use the highest quality raw materials that are identical to those used in the major clinical trials.   Features Clinically effective doses of glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate and MSM.† Our glucosamine sulfate is fully-reacted and derived from glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride, as opposed to the sodium chloride form. This helps reduce the potential increase in sodium intake associated with this form. We use chondroitin sulfate from one of the world’s leading manufacturers of chondroitin sulfate. OptiMSM® from Bergstrom Nutrition is the only MSM that is manufactured in a dedicated facility in the USA. OptiMSM® is triple distilled and guaranteed free of impurities which may impact the efficacy of MSM. Backed by human clinical studies. Manganese and Vitamin C are added for their synergistic effects.† Available as a 3 tablet/day or 4 capsule/day dosage.   Benefits Glucosamine sulfate helps support the production, and limit the breakdown of proteoglycans, a class of compounds that make up the cartilage matrix of joint tissue.† Clinical studies demonstrate the efficacy and safety of glucosamine sulfate in helping to support the cartilage matrix of joints, particularly the knee joint.† Chondroitin sulfate has been shown to support the structural matrix of joints as well as the production of hyaluronic acid (a major component of synovial fluid which keeps joints “lubricated” and moving freely).† Chondroitin sulfate may also help limit chondrocytes from producing enzymes and other compounds that stimulate the breakdown of the cartilage matrix of joint tissue.† OptiMSM® contains naturally occurring organic sulfur, which supports the formation of healthy tissue including bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons as well as helping to support a normal, healthy inflammatory response.† Manganese and vitamin C are both essential for the production of the collagen matrix that helps support the structural integrity of cartilage.†   LABEL
