AlchePharma® Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg, Vegan Capsules
Gly Mg Gly Magnesium Glycinate · 400 mg The gentle way to take your magnesium One magnesium atom, held between two molecules of glycine, the smallest amino acid. That pairing is what makes glycinate the form people choose when they want a full serving of magnesium without the stomach upset. Supplying magnesium glycinate since 2019 400 mg of magnesium from magnesium glycinate, not 400 mg of magnesium glycinate Magnesium glycinate is magnesium held by glycine, and most of its weight is the glycine. So a label that counts the whole compound and a label that counts the magnesium can both say "400 mg", yet hold very different amounts of the mineral you are buying it for. If the label reads Magnesium Glycinate400 mg the 400 mg is the whole compound ≈ 56 mg of magnesiumabout 13% of the Daily Value Ours reads Magnesium (from magnesium glycinate)400 mg the 400 mg is the magnesium itself, delivered as magnesium glycinate 400 mg of magnesium from magnesium glycinate95% of the Daily Value, per 3 capsules Magnesium you actually get, per "400 mg" 56 mg 400 mg magnesium from magnesium glycinate What to look for, on any brand Find the line that starts with "Magnesium" in the Supplement Facts panel. "Magnesium (from magnesium glycinate) 400 mg" counts the mineral; "Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg" counts the compound. Check the % Daily Value. The Daily Value for magnesium is 420 mg, so 400 mg of magnesium from magnesium glycinate shows about 95%. A "400 mg" product showing around 13% is counting the compound. Compare cost per serving of magnesium itself. Divide the price by the servings, then look at how much magnesium each serving gives. It would take about seven servings of a 400 mg compound to match one of ours. Pure magnesium bisglycinate is about 14% magnesium by weight; some commercial ingredients run a little higher. The Supplement Facts line and its % Daily Value always tell you the real amount. 400 mgmagnesium (from magnesium glycinate) per 3 vegan capsules · 95% Daily Value 30 · 60 · 90servings in the 90, 180 and 270 capsule bottles VeganGluten free · Non-GMO · plant-cellulose capsules What magnesium does for you Magnesium is a working part of more than 300 enzyme systems in the body1. Every day it is used to turn food into energy, to let muscles relax after they contract, and to keep the heart and nerves running smoothly. It also helps the body respond naturally to stress and supports a deep sense of relaxation.† Food can cover it, but often doesn't: in U.S. survey data, about half of Americans (48%) get less magnesium from food and drink than the estimated average requirement1. A daily capsule serving is a simple way to close that gap. A mineral discovered by thirsty cattle The story of magnesium begins on a common outside the English town of Epsom. In the dry summer of 1618, a farmer named Henry Wicker noticed his cattle would not drink from one pool. The water was bitter, and when it dried it left behind a salt. That salt became famous as Epsom salt, and it was used for the next 350 years2. 1618 Bitter Epsom spring water yields "Epsom salt" (magnesium sulfate).2 1755 Scottish chemist Joseph Black proposes that magnesium is an element of its own.2 1808 Humphry Davy isolates the pure metal by electrolysis. Its name comes from Magnesia, a district of ancient Greece.2 Today Magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine to make magnesium glycinate, a form built for comfortable daily use. Why glycinate, and not the cheaper forms? Every magnesium supplement pairs the mineral with something else, and that partner decides how the capsule treats you. The cheapest forms are cheap for a reason. Form What it's paired with What to know Oxide Oxygen Very low cost and doesn't dissolve well in liquid. The NIH lists oxide among the forms most often linked to loose stools.1 Citrate Citric acid Dissolves well. In larger amounts it is also used for its laxative effect. Glycinate Glycine (an amino acid) The mineral is held by an amino acid. It's highly bioavailable, is better absorbed than other forms of supplemental magnesium, and is chosen by people who want magnesium that's easy on the stomach.†3 Taking vitamin D? Don't leave out the magnesium. Vitamin D has to be converted in the body before it can do its work, and a 2018 review found that "all of the enzymes that metabolize vitamin D seem to require magnesium."4 In other words, your vitamin D depends on your magnesium. If you take one, it makes sense to look at the other. VeganGluten FreeNon-GMONo Soy · Dairy · YeastNo Artificial Colors or FlavorsNo Preservatives Suggested Use As a dietary supplement, adults take 3 vegan capsules daily, or as directed by a health care professional.

L-OptiZinc® 20mg Zinc as Mono-Methionine, not affected by dietary fiber and does not have a negative effect on copper absorption/status.
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.

Iron Liquid ( Gentle High Absorption Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate) Blackberry Vanilla 4 fl oz 24 servings
GENTLEFORMULA ALCOHOL-FREE · NON-CONSTIPATING · FOR AGES 1+ Iron Liquid Gentle, high-absorption Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate with Wild Harvested Yellow Dock Root — in a naturally-flavored Blackberry Vanilla liquid the whole family can actually enjoy taking.† ELEMENTAL IRON 10 mg Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate YELLOW DOCK ROOT 100 mg Wild harvested BOTTLE SIZE 4 fl oz ~24 servings FLAVOR Blackberry Vanilla Naturally flavored Traditional iron supplements — ferrous sulfate especially — have a well-earned reputation for stomach upset and constipation, which is often why people stop taking them before their iron needs are actually met. AlchePharma's Iron Liquid takes a different approach: a gentler chelated iron form, delivered in a liquid that's easy to dose precisely and, thanks to real blackberry and vanilla flavoring, doesn't feel like a chore to take.† Why This Formula Is Different 🩸 GENTLE ON THE STOMACH Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate Iron is chelated — bonded to the amino acid glycine — which is thought to help it pass through the stomach lining more directly, rather than sitting in the digestive tract the way non-chelated iron salts like ferrous sulfate do.† This is the mechanism generally credited for chelated iron's reputation as easier on the gut, with less of the nausea and constipation that lead many people to abandon standard iron supplements. 🌿 TRADITIONAL BOTANICAL SUPPORT Wild Harvested Yellow Dock Root Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus) is a botanical with a long history in traditional herbal practice, wild harvested rather than cultivated for this formula. It's included here as a complementary traditional ingredient alongside the measured 10mg elemental iron dose — the iron content itself comes entirely from the Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate, not from the Yellow Dock Root.† 🫐 MADE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Naturally Flavored, Precisely Dosed An alcohol-free liquid format naturally flavored with real blackberry and vanilla, designed for households where getting a child (or a reluctant adult) to take iron consistently is half the battle. The liquid format also allows precise, teaspoon-level dose adjustment across a wide age range — from young children with adjusted serving sizes up through adults — that a fixed-dose capsule can't offer. 🔍 A Transparent Look at "Natural Vanilla Flavor" Pure and clean, beyond the norm — that's a standard we hold ourselves to, and "natural flavor" is a genuinely vague industry term — it can legally cover a wide range of sources, and asking us to explain what's actually in a formula is a completely fair thing to do. Here's the real answer for this product, not the vague version. WHAT IT IS Vanillin naturally derived from plant sources such as clove — not a synthetic or artificial compound. WHAT IT ISN'T True vanilla bean extract — and here's the specific reason why, not just a shrug. Under FDA regulation (21 CFR 169.175), what can legally be called "vanilla extract" must contain a minimum of 35% alcohol by volume — that's the solvent required to properly draw out and stabilize real vanilla bean's flavor compounds. Since this Iron Liquid is intentionally formulated alcohol-free — a deliberate choice given it's dosed for children as young as age 1 — true vanilla bean extract was never compatible with that commitment. Naturally-derived vanillin from a source like clove was the honest way to get a real vanilla-like flavor without introducing alcohol into a formula meant for young children. That's an intentional trade-off we made, not a shortcut — and it deserved to be stated plainly here rather than left for you to have to ask about. ⚠️ Important Safety Warning Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. ✅ ALCOHOL-FREE ✅ GLUTEN-FREE ✅ NON-CONSTIPATING ✅ KOSHER (PARVE K-1604) SUGGESTED USE Adults and children over 4 years: 1 teaspoon (5 ml), 1–2 times per day.

GTF Chromium ( ChromeMate®) patented niacin-bound chromium complex 200 mcg.
Chromium is an essential trace mineral required by the body in very small amounts. The biologically active form of chromium known as GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor) is a complex of chromium and the B-vitamin niacin. Several forms of chromium exist, but ChromeMate® (generically called chromium nicotinate, chromium polynicotinate or niacin-bound chromium) is the only patented niacin-bound chromium complex backed by significant scientific research. ChromeMate® closely resembles GTF and, therefore has similar biological activity. Chromium has been shown to be important for proper insulin function, nutrient metabolism, normal energy production, and promotion of healthy body weight and lean body mass.* Features: Provides 200 mcg of chromium from niacin bound ChromeMate® per capsule. Efficacy and safety backed by numerous scientific studies. A unique niacin-bound chromium complex that supports the bioavailability and biological activity of chromium. Studies have shown that ChromeMate® is 18-times more bioactive than other forms of niacin-bound chromium Studies show ChromeMate® is absorbed and retained 600% better than chromium chloride and 300% better than chromium picolinate. Benefits: ChromeMate® helps potentiate (support) the action of insulin in the body. Insulin is a vital hormone responsible for transporting glucose and other nutrients into cells, and maintaining healthy blood sugar and blood lipid levels.* Studies show that ChromeMate® (by supporting lipid and cholesterol metabolism) helps maintain cholesterol levels (total, LDL and HDL) already in the normal range.* ChromeMate® helps support healthy blood glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels as well as HgbA1C (marker of long-term blood glucose control). These are all markers used to measure risk for metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes.* Clinical studies using ChromeMate® show that it helps support lean body mass and healthy body fat levels.*

Magnesium Powder from Whole Food ( Icelandic Red Algae) Effervescent, Certified Vegan
Whole Food Magnesium Powder is sourced from whole food marine algae (Lithothamnion calcareum). The source of the magnesium in this formula (Aquamin®) is harvested in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Its unique honeycomb cell structure makes it more bioavailable than many other magnesium products. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body that is part of over three hundred biological processes. Most notably it promotes healthy bones and muscles but it is also instrumental in supporting relaxation and can act as a calmative. * Features: Non GMO and VEGAN Certified 350 mg of Magnesium per serving sourced from Aquamin®, mineralized red algae is collected in the pristine Arctic waters of Iceland & North Atlantic Convenient effervescent drink mix that mixes easily in water Highly absorbable and fast-acting Free of major food allergens, Contains NO: sugar, dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors Whole Food, Simple and Clean Excipients Benefits: Clinical Study supports that Aquamin® ‘is bio-accessible and bioavailable to a significantly greater degree’ than other forms of Magnesium. Magnesium a cofactor for well over 300 biochemical reactions * Magnesium is required for nutrient metabolism and energy production, muscle function and works synergistically with calcium, where calcium is responsible for muscle contraction and magnesium, muscle relaxation. * Magnesium is also essential for maintaining a normal, healthy blood pressure, and is required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, cell membrane function and the activity of hormones, neurotransmitters and other cellular * Common Questions QUESTION: What is the chemical type of magnesium found in this algae? Is Magnesium Hydroxide or is that only in the marine salt water? I assume that the magnesium in the product is from the algae itself, not the sea water. What is the chemical formula? ANSWER: There are 2 components to the Aquamin™ ingredients. Both types are Magnesium Hydroxide. First, Aquamin™ Mg TG is a natural mineral source produced from pristine Irish seawater.[340 mg of Magnesium/scoop come from this source]. Second, Aquamin™ F is also added: it is produced from mineralized seaweed (Lithothamnion sp.). The seaweed is harvested from the seabed off the West coast of Ireland and North West coast of Iceland from clear, pollution free, mineral rich Atlantic waters. The dried calciferous material is not in but on the seaweed, and when dried, shaken off. {This contributes about 10 mg of Magnesium/scoop]. Aquamin® Mg is from naturally ionic seawater and is a clean, sustainable, and natural source of magnesium. It is a superior whole food source of magnesium, with higher absorption and assimilation rates than more common forms like magnesium. In fact, a study* from the University College Cork, Ireland has shown Aquamin™ Mg is over three times more soluble and absorbable than magnesium oxide (the type most likely to cause diarrhea), and it's even slightly more absorbable than magnesium chloride, which is another better-tolerated type, but which only contains about one-third the amount of elemental magnesium by volume (12%, vs. 33% for Aquamin Mg), meaning you'd have to take far more teaspoons of a magnesium chloride version to get the same dosage as this new type, magnesium hydroxide. * ‘Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability of a Marine-Derived Multimineral, Aquamin-Magnesium’, Valeria D. Felice, Denise M. O’Gorman, Nora M. O’Brien and Niall P. Hyland, Nutrients 2018, 10(7), 912 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30018220/of QUESTION: What is the Calcium content? Red algae usually has much higher calcium content than Magnesium content, is that true in the product or is calcium taken out? ANSWER: There is not enough Calcium in the remnant material to either require a declaration or support a claim of calcium on the label.

The most commonly utilized is Sambucus nigra, which is known as European Elderberry, which is commonly used for cold and flu symptoms. Although the different parts of Elderberry are utilized for different purposes, the berries are typically used for influenza, infections, sciatica, headaches, dental pain, heart pain, and nerve pain. Elderberry contains a high amount of antioxidants, which can support immune system function. It contains Vitamin-C, which is commonly known for its Immune Support. Elderberry also contains various antioxidant Flavonols such as Kaempferol and Quercetin. Quercetin is commonly used as respiratory support when needed. Organic elderberries are a rich source of anthocyanins which have been studied for their immune-enhancing effects. Anthocyanins benefit the immune system by supporting cytokine production. Cytokines are messenger proteins that benefit the immune response. One study of 60 people with influenza found that those who took elderberry syrup four times per day, showed symptom improvement in two to four days, compared to the control group, which took seven to eight days to show improvements in symptoms. Zinc glycinate, a highly bioavailable (well absorbing) form of Zinc that is bonded to a molecule of the Amino-Acid, Glycine. This allows the Zinc Molecule to remain intact during digestion, so it does not have to compete with other minerals for absorption. Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a major role in growth, reproduction, antioxidant defenses and healthy immune function. Zinc is a critical nutrient for the immune system. The normal, healthy development of immune cells, particularly T-lymphocytes depends upon adequate zinc status. Zinc deficiency has been shown to reduce the physical size of the thymus gland; it is here where T cells mature to become fully functional mature T-lymphocytes. These cells are critical for a healthy immune response. Helps support normal, healthy immune function.* Provides antioxidant support which is essential to immune function.* Studies show a reduction in the severity and duration of the common cold.* Studies also show that prophylactic (preventive) use may reduce the # of colds per year, as well as reduce antibiotic usage.* Umckaloabo is a flowering South African Native Plant that is used for its roots for medicinal purposes. Research on Umckloabo shows that it reduced Bronchitis symptoms after 7 days of treatment when it was taken within 48 hours of initial Bronchitis symptoms. Umckaloabo has also been shown to reduce pain and difficulty swallowing for individuals experiencing sore throat symptoms. It is believed that the mechanism of action for this herb, is that it may work by killing bacteria and preventing bacteria from attaching themselves to surfaces of the body, and also provide aid for the immune system. Echinacea refers to the nine species of the herbaceous flowering plant, native to North America, commonly also known as Coneflowers. Echinacea Angustfolia is one of the most utilized species of Echinacea as traditional medicine.

Zinc 50 mg. with natural amino acid chelation.
Zinc is a trace mineral that is essential to many biological functions. These include immune resistance, digestion, reproduction, physical growth, blood sugar/insulin control, taste, and smell. It is important for the function of over 100 special proteins known as enzymes, which are needed to speed up chemical reactions in the body. Chelated Zinc is a special mineral form that is better absorbed by the digestive tract. Chelation refers to a unique molecular mineral bond that is formed when amino acids are attached to a mineral to speed its transport across the intestinal tract. Our Amino Acid Chelated Zinc 50mg is formulated for optimal absorption to help support the wellbeing of the body.† BENEFITS The body needs zinc to make DNA, RNA, insulin, dozens of enzymatic reactions, and to facilitate immune response and cellular repair and renewal. Chelated zinc may be vitally important for healthy skin, connective tissue, and normal prostate function.† An amino acid-mineral combination will withstand the stomach acid in intact form. This makes it much easier to absorb minerals. Combinations of minerals with other substances like carbonates, sulfates, or chlorides do not stand up to the acid in the stomach. The bonds break apart and the minerals are poorly absorbed. Testing suggests that the chelated minerals are absorbed two to six times better than non-chelated minerals.† When minerals are bound to amino acid chelates, they are carried along through the stomach and small intestine wall, where vitamins and minerals are absorbed through the bloodstream.†
