S N O Zn 1 zinc : 1 L-methionine PATENTED L-OPTIZINC® · ZINC MONO-L-METHIONINE AlchePharma L-OptiZinc® Zinc 20 mg An essential mineral, carried by an essential amino acid. Each tablet holds 20 mg of zinc bound one-to-one to L-methionine, a patented form first developed in Minnesota for animal nutrition and later brought to people. Zinc supports normal immune function, healthy skin and the body's own antioxidant enzymes.† THE MINERAL 20 mg Zinc Per tablet DAILY VALUE 182% In one tablet Adults, once a day THE CARRIER 1 : 1 L-Methionine L-OptiZinc® complex TWO SIZES 100 · 250 Tablets Up to 8 months' supply A Mineral That Travels With an Amino Acid Zinc is a small atom with a big job list, but on its own it is a poor traveller. In a plant-rich meal, phytate from grains and beans can hold on to zinc and carry it straight through the gut. Animal nutritionists in the American Midwest knew this problem well, because livestock eat corn and soy every day. In the early 1970s a Minnesota chemist, Dr. Mahmoud Abdel-Monem, tried a different idea: instead of feeding zinc as a bare mineral salt, pair each zinc atom with one molecule of methionine, an essential amino acid the body already knows how to take in. His one-to-one zinc methionine complex was patented in 1976.1 The real test came on the farm feed itself. In a 1992 study, researchers fed young chicks three kinds of diets and compared zinc methionine with ordinary zinc sulfate. On a simple, low-fiber diet the two were close. On a typical corn and soybean diet, full of plant phytate, the zinc from zinc methionine was used about twice as well.2 The richer the plate in plants, the more the amino-acid partner seemed to matter. 1973–1976 Dr. Mahmoud Abdel-Monem of Zinpro Corporation, Minnesota, files and wins U.S. Patent 3,941,818, "1:1 Zinc methionine complexes," written for both animal and human nutrition.1 1992 A chick study in the Journal of Animal Science rates zinc methionine at 117% to 206% of zinc sulfate, depending on how much plant fiber and phytate is in the feed.2 1994 A second Zinpro patent, U.S. 5,278,329, covers complexes made with L-methionine only, the natural form found in food protein, instead of the mixed DL form.3 Later InterHealth Nutraceuticals of Benicia, California, brings the L-form complex to people as L-OptiZinc®. The brand is now part of Lonza.4 Today Every AlchePharma tablet carries 20 mg of zinc from L-OptiZinc®: one tablet, once a day, with a meal. What the Research Looked At ANIMAL STUDY · 1992 Plant-rich diets In chicks on a corn and soybean diet, zinc methionine was rated at 206% of zinc sulfate. On a low-fiber diet the gap was much smaller (117%).2 HUMAN DATA · MANUFACTURER Absorbed and retained The ingredient maker reports that, in people, L-OptiZinc® was absorbed better than zinc sulfate and zinc polyascorbate, and raised blood zinc more than zinc oxide over 12 hours.4† WHY ZINC MATTERS An everyday essential Zinc helps hundreds of enzymes work, supports normal immune function and healthy skin, and is part of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, one of the body's own antioxidant enzymes.5† The Extra Care in Every Tablet The patented form, not the cheapest one. Many zinc products use a plain mineral salt such as zinc oxide, because it is inexpensive. We chose L-OptiZinc®, the patented complex made with L-methionine only, so the zinc in your tablet arrives already paired with an amino acid. A sensible amount. 20 mg in one tablet covers the daily value with room to spare, without the 50 mg megadoses some brands sell. One tablet a day keeps it simple. A short, clean label.

While often associated with men's health, this formula is designed for any adult seeking botanical support for hormonal balance and systemic vitality. Both Saw Palmetto and Pygeum contain phytosterols that interact with metabolic pathways present in all bodies. Whether you are looking for antioxidant support or botanical equilibrium, AlchePharma provides a high-potency solution suitable for a wide range of wellness goals. 2. What does "Standardized" mean, and why is it important? Standardization is your guarantee of quality. Many supplements use raw plant powders, which can vary wildly in strength. AlchePharma uses standardized European extracts, ensuring that every softgel contains exactly 85-95% fatty acids and sterols from Saw Palmetto and 13% Beta-sitosterol from Pygeum. This consistency means you get the same high-performance results with every bottle. 3. What makes L-OptiZinc® different from standard zinc supplements? Most supplements use zinc oxide or gluconate, which can be difficult for the body to absorb. L-OptiZinc® is a unique, patented 1:1 complex of zinc and the amino acid L-methionine. Clinical research shows that this specific "chelated" form is absorbed significantly better and stays in your system longer, providing superior antioxidant support and cellular protection compared to ordinary zinc. 4. Why do I need to take four softgels throughout the day? For botanical extracts to be most effective, it is ideal to maintain a consistent level of nutrients in your bloodstream. Spacing your serving (one softgel, four times daily with meals) ensures that your body has a steady supply of active fatty acids and phytosterols to utilize throughout the day and night, rather than a single "spike" that the body may not fully process. 5. Does this product contain any common allergens? This formula is crafted with a "clean label" philosophy. It is free from sugar, salt, dairy, yeast, wheat, corn, preservatives, and artificial flavors. It does contain soy (from lecithin) and is manufactured on equipment that may process traces of peanuts. We always recommend checking the full ingredient list if you have specific sensitivities.

Background: As coenzymes (help enzymes carry out chemical reactions) B-vitamins are essential nutrients involved in most metabolic reactions.  They play an important role in energy production, particularly from the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.  These essential nutrients are also important for the production of healthy cells, hormones, neurotransmitters and other vital biochemicals.  They are needed for healthy nerve, heart, brain, muscle and other important cell/tissue function.  The B-vitamins are water-soluble and therefore, not stored to any significant extent in the body.  This is why we need to ensure adequate intakes of these nutrients on a daily basis.  Due to the excess consumption of refined and processed foods, the average person does not consume optimal amounts of these nutrients.  Our B-Complex-50 and B-Complex-100 provide moderate to high amounts of essential B-Complex vitamins.     Features: Available in B-Complex 50 and B-Complex 100 strengths. B-Complex 50 provides a moderate-potency and B-Complex 100 a high-potency, full spectrum B-vitamin supplement which helps support many different biochemical and physiological processes. B-complex contains USP grade nutrients and, therefore, meets strict standards for purity and potency. Benefits Thiamin, riboflavin and niacin are essential for the production of energy from food. They also help support, nerve and heart function and help the body produce antioxidants.* Vitamin B6 is needed to make neurotransmitters, chemicals that are essential for normal, healthy brain and nervous system function. B6 also helps support the metabolism of amino acids, individual components found in protein foods.* Vitamin B12 and folic acid are both needed to make healthy blood cells, by supporting DNA and RNA metabolism and both help support normal, healthy levels of homocysteine; a recognized cardiovascular “toxin”.* Pantothenic acid is needed to produce energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins, while biotin is essential for the metabolism of fatty acids and glucose and assists in cellular energy production.* Choline is needed to help support the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and serves as an important cofactor in healthy liver detoxification processes.* Inositol serves as a signaling molecule helping to “direct” cellular function while PABA serves as a component of folic acid.*

The taste of the powdered form of Maca Root is described as Earthy and Nutty, typically added to smoothies or other foods for its benefits. Maca Root can be considered highly nutritious due to its high amount of some essential vitamins and minerals. Benefits: Studies on Maca Root have shown to improve fertility in Men, also may help with increasing Libido in both Men and Women, therefore potentially improving sexual dysfunction. Potentially can have mood-enhancing benefits, especially on post-menopasual women. Studies performed on post menopausal women who consistently took Maca, showed to have improvements of reduced anxiety and depression. Maca's Flavonoid content is believed to have partial involvement in its mood benefits. Maca's nutrient rich profile may help boost energy levels as it has been traditionally used to boost energy levels in Peruvian Medicine Evidence has shown that Maca may help improve exercise endurance and performance.
