As we age, it's critical to boost blood circulation, safeguard against cell oxidation, and reduce inflammation from activity. Poor blood flow can affect your skin, energy, and heart, so it's essential to ensure it keeps flowing.
AlchePharma Poly-4X Utilizes Oligonol
Oligonol, supported by 30 Human Clinical Trials, is a low-molecular-weight polyphenol derived from a combination of lychee fruit (85%) and green tea (15%). It may help reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and brown spots, and improve endurance and energy levels, in addition to supporting healthy blood circulation, protection against free radical damage, and helping the body manage inflammation.*
Poly-4X & Anti-Aging Properties
Poly-4X contains an abundant amount of polyphenols, a beneficial plant compound that is known for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties. Through studies by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers, we have begun to discover even more health and beauty benefits from the lychee fruit in Poly-4X.
Because Poly-4X's Oligonol stimulates blood flow, it is believed to increase anti-aging properties and improve skin conditions. After several tests, the supplement is said to have decreased facial breakouts, acne and even reduce the appearance of wrinkles and freckles on female test subjects. Over a period of time, women who consumed Poly-4X's Oligonol claimed that they noticed better elasticity in their skin, making their appearance more vibrant, healthy and youthful.
Poly-4X & Visceral Fat Reduction
Perhaps the most impressive human clinical trial on Poly-4X's Oligonol to date studied its effect on visceral fat. When participants took 100 mg/day for 10 weeks, their visceral fat went down by over 12% while there was no change in the placebo group.
Since abdominal obesity is one of the hallmarks of metabolic syndrome, and metabolic syndrome increases your risk of coronary heart disease, Poly-4X's Oligonol could have indirect cardiovascular benefits in addition to its direct ones.
Poly-4X & Sports Recovery
Poly-4X's Oligonol also has potential in sports recovery as it has been shown to reduce fatigue after exercise, increase endurance and reduce levels of pro-inflammatory markers. The reason why trained athletes dont get tired when they exercise is, again, due to improved blood flow. When more blood is flowing to the muscles, two things happen. First, more oxygen is being delivered to them. Second, more waste is being removed from them. This combination prevents fatigue.
Poly-4X & Sweating
Oligonol supplementation may also be a good natural way to help control body temperature and sweat loss.*
A recent study shows that Oligonol reduced whole-body sweat production, fluid loss and regulated body temperature when subjects were exposed to a heat source.* With adequate water intake and Oligonol supplementation, athletes can boost their performance in high heat and high stress situations.*
Poly-4X & UV Damage Prevention
When it comes to protecting yourself from the sun, it may be whats on the inside that counts. Research now shows that taking Poly-4X's Oligonol could limit the suns damaging UVB rays. Poly-4X's Oligonol prevents UVB damage to the skinby suppressing inflammation and revving up the bodys natural antioxidant defenses. Oligonol provided protection from both sun-induced skin aging and skin cancer.
Poly-4X & Reducing Uric Acid Levels
In a study of six healthy male volunteers, Oligonol significantly decreased Uric Acid excretion and clearance while reducing the concentration of uric acid

The liver is a complex organ with a variety of functions. It plays a major role in the detoxification of endotoxins (metabolically produced) and xenobiotics (environmental). Detoxification is a process that involves several different organs and occurs primarily in the liver. The liver achieves this through two distinct phases whereby it prepares the toxins for excretion. Some toxins are excreted through the bile, and others through the kidneys. In phase 1, toxins are transformed into intermediate compounds which are then neutralized by phase 2 enzymes making them easier for the body to excrete.
Features
Comprehensive liver support formula, containing a synergistic combination of B-vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other nutraceuticals.
Contains milk thistle and other standardized extracts such as turmeric, artichoke, and picrorhiza.
Contains SelenoExcell® and NAC for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione production, respectively. SelenoExcell® is the most researched form of selenium.
Provides methyl donors folic acid, B12, and choline.
Contains the antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin C.
Benefits
Milk Thistle extract has been documented in many scientific studies to provide support to the liver. It helps protect liver cells from toxins, and helps support liver detoxification processes.†
Contains vitamin B6 which is integral to amino acid and glucose metabolism in the liver.†
Folic acid, B12, and choline are methyl donors. All of these nutrients help contribute methyl groups to support liver detoxification.† This process makes toxins easier to excrete.†
NAC serves as a precursor for the synthesis of glutathione in the liver. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, which, along with vitamin C and other nutrients, helps provide antioxidant support to the liver.† Glutathione also helps support liver detoxification processes.†
Choline helps support fat metabolism in the liver, which helps support healthy liver function.†
Selenium as SelenoExcell® helps support glutathione peroxidase (powerful antioxidant enzyme) activity.†
The active curcuminoids in turmeric have been shown to be powerful antioxidants, and also help support normal, healthy liver detoxification.†
Picrorhiza kurroa extract as Picroliv® from Sabinsa has been shown in studies to support healthy liver function.†
Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant and studies show it to be a powerful protector of normal, healthy liver function.†
Artichoke and boldo extract help support the production and excretion of bile, which is one way the body excretes toxins.†
Burdock root, dandelion, and yellow dock have traditionally been used as “cleansing” herbs which help to support liver, gall bladder, and kidney elimination processes.†
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. *

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.

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.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a part of coenzymes that are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. ALA, called the “universal antioxidant”, is soluble in both water and fat, therefore is able to work in various parts of the body. As an antioxidant, it is able to scavenge a variety of free radicals including the highly reactive hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen. ALA has the ability to extend the activity of vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as regenerate the powerful antioxidants CoQ10 and glutathione. Studies show ALA is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect healthy cell function. Scientific studies show Alpha Lipoic Acid helps support glucose metabolism, as well as normal, healthy liver function.†
