Bromelain is obtained from the lower stems of the pineapple plant. It contains a combination of proteolytic enzymes that have been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response.* It is believed to work by supporting a healthy balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.* Bromelain is also effective at breaking down large proteins (proteolytic activity) that when absorbed intact and travel through the bloodstream may cause an allergic response by the body. Some clinical evidence also demonstrates bromelain’s ability to help support a normal rather than excess production of mucus along the respiratory tract.*   Features:     •New higher potency, 2400 GDU per gram, providing 960 GDU per capsule. •GDU stands for Gelatin Digestion Units. This is one standard measurement for digesting protein. •Research indicates bromelain remains intact (instead of being broken down in the digestive tract) and therefore available for use throughout the body via the bloodstream. •Vegetarian   Benefits: •Proteolytic enzyme (protein digestion) from pineapple.* •Supports a normal, healthy inflammatory response.* •Some studies have shown bromelain helps support a healthy inflammatory response in damaged tissue.* •Bromelain has been shown to help break down potential allergens (proteins) before they are absorbed in the intestinal tract and into the bloodstream, potentially causing an allergic reaction.* •Bromelain has been shown to help support normal platelet aggregation (blood clotting). This can help provide support for the cardiovascular system.*

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” is really a hormone but categorized as a vitamin.  This is because a deficiency is associated with the diseases rickets (bone deformities) in children and osteomalacia (poor bone mineralization leading to weak, painful bones) in adults.  The body is able to synthesize pre-vitamin D3 in the skin when exposed to sunlight.  The pre-vitamin D3 is rapidly converted into vitamin D3.  Vitamin D3 is then transported through the blood to the liver and kidney where it is converted into the hormone calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D. Only a few foods naturally contain vitamin D including: fatty fish and cod liver oil.  Fortified foods such as milk and cereal are the major dietary sources of vitamin D.   It is estimated that 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient, therefore supplementing the diet with extra vitamin D is essential for optimal health.  Numerous factors influence the skin’s synthesis of pre-vitamin D3 including, location, climate, sun exposure, skin color, age and use of sunscreen.  When you combine all of the factors that influence vitamin D synthesis with the existing widespread deficiency, vitamin D supplementation is the most efficient and convenient way to ensure optimal vitamin D intake.*   Features:   Multiple potencies based on individual requirements. Contains vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol), a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D. Sourced from lanolin (vegetarian source of Vitamin D). Easy to swallow soft gel capsule Gluten-free Benefits:   Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilization.* Stimulates osteoblast (bone producing cell) activity which helps maintain bone density and strength.* Stimulates the synthesis of osteocalcin, an important protein involved in bone formation.* Helps maintain adequate blood calcium levels which help support cellular metabolic processes, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular/neurological function.* Vitamin D is important for normal, healthy cell growth and function.* Helps support normal, healthy insulin secretion.* Vitamin D helps support healthy immune function.*

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 the 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 has 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.† It is also important to support healthy liver function when taking red yeast rice or a Statin. Therefore, Red Yeast Rice Plus is combined with CoQ10 as well as compounds N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and standardized milk thistle for added liver support.†   Features 600mg of red yeast rice per serving. Carefully manufactured to avoid the presence of citrinin, a toxic by-product of the fermentation process. Includes 30mg CoQ10, 50mg NAC, and 25mg standardized Milk Thistle to help support healthy liver function.† Easy to swallow vegetarian capsule. Gluten-Free.   Benefits Red yeast rice has been shown in numerous studies to help support cardiovascular health.†Studies have shown that red yeast rice can significantly lower levels of total cholesterol and specifically LDL.† Red yeast rice supports normal triglyceride, LDL, and total cholesterol levels.† Cardiac (heart) cells, muscle, and cells of the liver have a significant amount of mitochondria and a very large energy requirement. CoQ10 is vital to the energy-producing processes that help maintain normal, healthy heart, muscle, and liver function.† NAC serves as a source of cysteine required for the liver’s synthesis of glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant and detoxing compound found in the liver. NAC has been shown in studies to help protect the liver from the effects of drug and/or alcohol toxicity.† Milk thistle’s active ingredient silymarin is effective at protecting the liver from acute and chronic exposure to toxins. Milk thistle has been shown to protect hepatic cells and support overall healthy liver function and detoxification.†   LABEL
