There are over 25 different species of oregano, but wild type oregano, unlike the spice found in the local grocery store and most others, contains active ingredients that provide health benefits. The highest quality and most clinically effective wild type oregano is grown in parts of the Mediterranean. To be able to extract the most delicate and efficacious components of this plant, a gentle steam distillation process must be used. The most important active ingredient it contains is carvacrol, and the highest quality and most potent oregano oil contains a minimum of 60-70% carvacrol. Our oregano oil exceeds all the criteria for supplement grade oregano oil.   Features We use only wildcrafted oregano oil from wild Mediterranean oregano plants. Our wildcrafted oregano oil is derived from plants grown organically without the use of any toxic pesticides and/or herbicides. The plants are grown in their native environment which maximizes their ability to concentrate the natural, bioactive ingredients. The oil is extracted from the plant without the use of harsh chemicals, through a steam distillation process. The oregano oil is then put into a softgel with non-genetically modified soy lecithin and extra virgin olive oil as a base. Our oregano oil is standardized to 70% carvacrol (its most bioactive component) and also contains a full-spectrum of other naturally-occurring compounds found in oregano.   Benefits Carvacrol and other naturally-occurring oregano compounds have the ability to provide significant support to the immune system.† Carvacrol also helps promote a healthy inflammatory response and provides antioxidant support to healthy cells.† Oregano oil helps support a normal, healthy immune response to environmental allergens.† LABEL

Research Highlights Background: Garlic has been used as both food and medicine in many cultures for thousands of years. With its high concentration of sulfur-containing compounds, trace minerals and enzymes, garlic has consistently demonstrated the ability to support immune function, provide antioxidant support and promote cardiovascular health. Many of the biological effects that have been attributed to garlic are thought to be related to allicin and other breakdown products. Allicin is formed when alliin, a sulfur-containing amino acid, comes into contact with the enzyme alliinase when raw garlic is chopped, crushed, or chewed. Dried garlic preparations containing alliin & alliinase must be enteric coated to be effective because stomach acid inhibits alliinase and decomposesallicin. Studies on garlic demonstrate its role in helping to maintain optimal health and wellness.   Features: Our 500 mg garlic is a high potency garlic product, having an allicin yield of 5,000 mcg per tablet. Synergistic benefits provided by a variety of naturally occurring sulfur-containing compounds such as thiosulfinates and gamma-glutamylcysteines. Each tablet is enteric-coated to protect the integrity and preserve the biological activity of allicin from the damaging effects of stomach acid. Odor controlled   Benefits: Garlic has been shown to promote cardiovascular health via its ability to scavenge free radicals by supporting the activity of various antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (due to its selenium content).* The active compounds in garlic have demonstrated the ability to promote a normal, healthy inflammatory response, healthy blood clotting and blood pressure as well as support of cholesterol levels already in the normal range.* Among the many favorable actions of garlic, the support of normal, healthy cell growth and healthy immune function are two of the most significant.*           Ingredients

The human body is made up of many joints. These joints are essential to movement and our ability to undertake daily tasks. As we age, the integrity of our joints may become compromised. Injury, excess weight, poor nutrition, and disease can leave joints, stiff, swollen, achy, and with reduced mobility. Cartilage serves to protect the joints and is typically the first thing to be affected when problems develop. Type II Collagen is the major structural protein responsible for the tensile strength and resilience of cartilage. It comprises 85-90% of the collagen that makes up the smooth white tissue (articular cartilage) that covers the ends of the bones at the joint surface. Type II Collagen is also replete in glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulfate and Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic Acid is concentrated in the synovial fluid that fills the joint cavities which is responsible for reducing friction between the articulating joints and acts as a shock absorber.* Features: 500 mg of Type II Collagen (KollaGen-IIxs™) Provides 50 mg of naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Contains 100 mg of naturally occurring Chondroitin Sulfate Clinically studied to provide joint support Gluten Free   Benefits: KollaGen-IIxs™, taken in a dose of 500 mg three times daily, has been clinically shown to benefit joint health and improve mobility.* Type II collagen is a natural source of Hyaluronic Acid (HA); an essential component of synovial fluid that reduces friction and cushions joints.* Type II collagen contains naturally occurring glycoproteins which enhances the antioxidant protection within joints.* Chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes such as collagenase, elastase and proteoglycanase that can become overactive in joint degeneration, thereby compromising the integrity of these tissues.*   Suggested Use:  As a Dietary Supplement, take one (1) capsule, one (1) to three (3) times daily, 30 minutes before a meal, or as directed by a health care professional.   Ingredients   KollaGen-IIxs™ KollaGen II-xs™ is the result of more than a quarter of a Century of Collagen food supplement research.
