Give your immune system an advantage with the optimized, plant-based antioxidant support of quercetin* As a powerhouse antioxidant, Quercetin Phytosome benefits an optimized immune response, offers support for allergy sufferers, and promotes a healthy aging process for well-rounded daily wellness support. Quercetin is a type of plant compound called a flavonoid (a fancy name for a plant pigment) that contributes to the natural, vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables like apples, onions, berries, and tea. Flavonoids function as antioxidants, seeking out damaging free radicals and neutralizing them.* Free radicals are caused by the daily oxidative stress placed on our bodies, and they are linked to cellular damage, accelerated aging, and chronic health conditions.  Thorne’s Quercetin Phytosome offers the antioxidant benefits of a flavonoid, as well as its immune-supporting properties and the ability to support a healthy inflammatory response, which provides a range of health-promoting benefits.*  As a natural compound, quercetin is typically characterized by poor absorption into the bloodstream, which is why the quercetin used in Thorne products is provided as a quercetin phytosome. A quercetin phytosome complex enhances the benefits of quercetin by utilizing phytosome technology to optimize the nutrient’s bioavailability. Thorne’s Quercetin Phytosome is up to 20 times more bioavailable than quercetin extract alone, for maximum benefit from a smaller amount.* Who can benefit from Thorne's Quercetin Phytosome: Anyone looking to support healthy immune function* Individuals seeking support from the effects of seasonal allergies or hives* Those looking to promote recovery and a healthy inflammatory response in the respiratory tract* Biohackers looking to optimize sirtuin function and decrease senescent cells* Anyone wanting to support a healthy aging process* Immune and Allergy Support: Quercetin Phytosome offers a range of benefits for immune health – from general immune support, to nutritional support for seasonal allergy sufferers, to maintenance of a healthy respiratory tract.* Quercetin plays a crucial role in moderating immune function through several different actions, such as:   Supporting various types of immune cells that are necessary for an optimized immune response*  Benefiting allergy sufferers by helping to regulate histamine release* Helping to support a normal inflammatory response, particularly in the respiratory tract*   Unique Benefits for Healthy Aging: Cutting-edge research is placing quercetin in the spotlight for healthy aging because of new research that shows quercetin helps reduce cellular senescence.* Senescent cells are malfunctioning cells that have stopped dividing but do not die and remain in the body. Environmental factors, along with regular aging, causes a buildup of senescent cells, which can be associated with biological aging and age-related disorders. What makes Quercetin Phytosome a healthy aging superstar: Quercetin is one of only two nutrients that have been studied to reduce cellular senescence*    Quercetin up-regulates sirtuins (key regulators of cellular health) associated with improved weight-related metabolic factors at the cellular level* The trio of antioxidant, sirtuin, and senescence support helps optimize healthy cellular aging* This product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the package matches what's on the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms. Suggested Usage: Take 1 capsule two to three times daily with meals or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

The Peruvian Amazon rainforest vine called Cat’s Claw or Uña de Gato is an adaptogenic herb that supports the body’s natural defenses.* Available in a potent 1:1 liquid extract or in loose tea form. SUPPORTS Healthy function of the intestinal tract* Bowel regularity* Healthy cardiovascular system* The function of the immune system* To help recover from illnesses due to an underactive immune system*” Suggested Usage, Warnings and other Information: PREPARATION AND DOSING CONSIDERATIONS Traditional PreparationTypically, the indigenous people of Peru boil 20-30 grams of Uncaria tomentosa inner bark in a liter of water for 30-60 minutes to prepare a tea. (If the tea is shredded, 30 minutes is sufficient.) This is then consumed throughout the day for several days to several months. Liquid ExtractThe usual therapeutic dosage of Uncaria tomentosa liquid extract is 1 to 4 ml per day. The liquid extract may be taken directly under the tongue or added to water or juice. InfusionWhole World Botanicals also offers Royal Cat’s ClawTM tea. DIRECTIONS For Immediate and Urgent Use: Take 1 teaspoon with water at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after eating, 2 to 3 times daily for up to 3 months or as directed by a physician. Maintenance Dosage: Take 1-2 teaspoons on an empty stomach once a day, 4 to 5 days a week. CONTRAINDICATIONS Organ/Bone Marrow Transplant: Since Cat’s Claw activates and strengthens the immune system, its use is contraindicated before or following any organ or bone marrow transplant or skin graft. Anti-fertility: Cat’s Claw taken at a high dosage has been documented with anti-fertility properties and is contraindicated in persons seeking to get pregnant, but may not be considered as a reliable contraceptive. Warning about Pharmaceutical Blood Thinners: Since Cat’s Claw contains chemical compounds which can reduce platelet aggregation and thin the blood, consult your physician if you are taking Coumadin® or other blood thinning drugs. Discontinue use one week to ten days prior to any major surgical procedure. Warning about Low Pressure: Since Cat’s Claw might lower your blood pressure, people with low blood pressure need to increase fluids and salt when taking Cat’s Claw more than once a day. Two alkaloids in Cat’s Claw have been documented to lower blood pressure. Individuals with low blood pressure or taking antihypertensive drugs should consult their physician and monitor their blood pressure levels while taking Cat’s Claw. Medications may need adjusting. Keep away from children. Not to be used if you are pregnant or nursing. POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS Stomach: Cat’s Claw requires sufficient stomach acid to help break down the tannins and alkaloids during digestion, and to aid in absorption. Avoid taking liquid extracts directly by mouth and dilute first in water or acidic juice. Smaller more frequent amounts may be taken by individuals with digestive issues. Tannic acid: If the tannic acid in Cat’s Claw is not well tolerated, try preparing Cat’s Claw tea with added lemon juice because it lowers the amount of tannic acid released from the Cat’s Claw bark. Gastrointestinal Problems: Large dosages of Cat’s Claw (3–4 ml—approximately one teaspoon of liquid extract) may cause abdominal pain or gastrointestinal problems in some individuals. This is related to the tannin content. A small portion of people may experience diarrhea or loose stools, but this tends to be mild and dissipate with continued use. Discontinue use or reduce dosage if diarrhea persists longer than 3–4 days. DRUG INTERACTIONS Due to its immunostimulant effects and the possible interference of Cat’s Claw it should not be used with medications intended to suppress the immune system, such as cyclosporine or other medications prescribed following an organ transplant.

 Background: Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is required for many important biochemical functions in the body. In humans, selenium functions as a coenzyme for the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Glutathione peroxidase helps neutralize harmful peroxide free radicals. Selenium also plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormones. Selenium is a coenzyme for the enzymes which are responsible for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. These enzymes are important for the regulation of basal metabolic rate (resting metabolic rate-rate at which you burn calories). Studies show Selenium helps support the body’s antioxidant defenses and contributes to the growth of normal, healthy cells.* Features: Provides 200 mcg of Selenium. FDA has approved health claims for selenium that indicate it may be helpful in preventing certain cancers.   Benefits: Provides a well absorbed, highly bioavailable form of this important trace mineral. Studies show selenium works synergistically with vitamin E to provide antioxidant support helping protect healthy cells, particularly red blood cells from free radical damage.* The broad composition of seleno compounds increases the absorption and bioavailability. Selenium helps support the functioning of the powerful antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX). GPX helps neutralize damaging peroxide radicals, which can potentially cause damage to healthy cells and their DNA.* Studies show a high intake of selenium helps support a healthy prostate by promoting normal, healthy prostate cell growth.* Adequate intake of selenium helps support normal, healthy thyroid function and a healthy metabolism.* Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer.* However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and inconclusive.    Ingredients
