Supplement Facts
What is Parve
A pareve (neutral) product is made from inherently kosher or kosher certified ingredients that are neither meat, nor dairy. Some examples of pareve ingredients are raw fruits & vegetables, flour, sugar, kosher fish, and eggs. (Even though eggs are found in the dairy section of your supermarket, kosher law dictates that they are in fact pareve.) A pareve product can be used with meat or dairy products.
Application for:
• Receiving: If a facility is set up to handle only pareve products, receiving must ensure that all products coming into the facility have a kosher symbol that designates them as pareve.
• Production: A kosher pareve product is produced only on a production line especially dedicated for kosher pareve products, or properly kosherized before production.
• Sales: Since pareve can be used with both dairy and meat, if an item can be designated as pareve, it will have a wider market. A pareve product will bear a plain “OK” symbol or an “OK Pareve” symbol.
• Procurement: If a facility is set up to handle only pareve products, all ingredients must be listed on your ingredient list as pareve. No dairy or meat ingredients should be present in the facility. Procurement should be aware of this requirement when approving new materials for this facility.

In research supported by the National Institute of Health, the theory as to why Calcium Citrate shows superior absorption to Calcium Carbonate is elucidated in an excerpt from the study:
Comparison of the absorption of calcium carbonate and calcium citrate after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
"Several studies have shown that the absorption of calcium carbonate is more dependent on gastric acid secretion than calcium citrate [31–36]. A previous study in healthy, postmenopausal women with varying degrees of gastric acid secretion reported a 2.5-fold higher intestinal calcium absorption following a single test load of calcium citrate than calcium carbonate [37]."

The process of building and maintaining bone structure involves numerous biochemical and physiological processes. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone). Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes that help dissolve “old” bone tissue into calcium and other components, some of which may be reused by the body. The balance of building and breaking down bone involves a complex interplay between various nutrients, hormones, and other biochemicals. Our Calcium Citrate formula with Vitamin D is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.†
Features
Provides calcium as citrate.
Contains added Vitamin D for its role in supporting healthy bone structure.†
Benefits
Promotes bone growth, density, and strength.†
Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.†
Calcium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of calcium for supporting the normal, healthy structure of bone tissue.†
Vitamin D helps support calcium absorption and reduces the amount of calcium lost from bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several of which involve supporting bone health.†
LABEL
Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin with many important functions in the body. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an important cofactor for the production and stability of collagen. The stability and strength of connective tissue, blood vessels, etc. depend upon vitamin C. The body’s ability to manufacture neurotransmitters as well as L-carnitine (required for fat metabolism) depends upon the optimal intake of vitamin C. In addition to its role in manufacturing important biological compounds, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and helps support normal, healthy immune function.
Features
High potency vitamin C 1000mg
Buffered with Calcium and Sodium
Bioflavonoids for capillary and soft tissue repair
Gluten-free
Benefits
Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis and stability of collagen, the underlying structure of bone, skin, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, and other body tissue.†
Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for the manufacturing of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and epinephrine, and essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system.†
The transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cell where they are used to make energy (ATP) requires L-carnitine which cannot be manufactured without vitamin C.†
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant helping to neutralize peroxyl and hydroxyl free radicals as well as regenerating the antioxidants vitamin E and glutathione back to their reduced forms (form in which they serve as antioxidants).†
Vitamin C helps to limit the production of nitrosamines from nitrites found in foods such as hot dogs, bacon, and cold cuts. Nitrosamines have been shown to be potentially harmful to the body.†
Vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system. Histamine is secreted by the body in response to allergens and infections. Vitamin C has been shown to help support normal, healthy levels of histamine. In addition, vitamin C supports healthy levels of interferon and normal, healthy white blood cell activity; both critical to 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
Black Cohosh is an herb that provides a natural way to normalize hormonal changes and moderate the uncomfortable changes that accompany menopause.† Numerous studies have been done using black cohosh. Studies have identified the isoflavone phytoestrogen formononetin as the most likely candidate for the effects of black cohosh on female health. This compound has been shown to help support normal, healthy levels of luteinizing hormone (LH).† Increased LH levels, which are often the result of declining estrogen levels, are typically responsible for the changes associated with menopause. Dong quai and chasteberry are included for their synergistic effects.
Features
European standardized Black Cohosh from Euromed, a world leader in European standardized extracts. Standardized to the most active compounds triterpene glycosides.
Provides clinically effective dosages of dong quai and chasteberry.

Clinical studies demonstrate the efficacy and safety of glucosamine sulfate in helping to support the cartilage matrix of joints, particularly the knee joint.†
LABEL
Chromium is a trace mineral that helps potentiate insulin function, therefore helps support carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Several studies have shown that chromium helps support glucose levels already in the normal range, in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance. The mechanisms by which chromium works are not completely understood. We know from animal and human studies that when given a chromium deficient diet, we see abnormal glucose metabolism, increased blood glucose, and impaired insulin function. Chromium in the form of chromium picolinate is chromium bound to (chelated to) picolinic acid, a compound that seems to enhance the absorption of chromium which is typically poorly absorbed. Chromium picolinate has been shown to be better absorbed and more bioavailable than chromium chloride, but slightly less than chromium polynicotinate.†
Features
Chromium bound to (chelated to) picolinic acid.
Clinical studies on safety and efficacy.
200mcg per capsule.
Benefits
Studies show chromium picolinate is better absorbed than chromium chloride (non-chelated).†
Research studies show chromium picolinate helps support blood glucose and cholesterol levels already in the normal range.†
Beneficial to individuals who consume mostly refined foods and or have impaired glucose tolerance.†
Some studies, however, not strong, show chromium picolinate may help support lean body mass and reduce body fat.†

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.*
Horsechestnut seed extract is widely used in Europe to support healthy vein structure/function, both essential for normal, healthy circulation. Horsechestnut’s active agents include aescin and proanthacyanidin A2, with most of the biological effects being mediated by aescin. Aescin has been shown to support the normal, healthy structure and function of venous capillaries. This, in turn, provides support for normal venous circulation and healthy blood flow to the lower extremities, heart and other organs.† FeaturesEuropean standardized extract from EuroMed, a world leader in European botanical extracts.EuroMed applies a consistent extraction process that provides the highest yield of active ingredients.Contains 300mg horsechestnut standardized to 20% Aescin providing 60mg per capsule of the most active ingredient. BenefitsHorsechestnut helps support healthy venous structure and function, supporting normal circulation throughout the cardiovascular system.†Horsechestnut helps to maintain a healthy venous tone and promote vascular integrity. Studies have also suggested that horsechestnut maintains the structural support of connective tissue within veins.†Horsechestnut’s content of proanthocyanidin A2 gives it the ability to provide antioxidant protection and help mediate the activity of enzymes that break down the collagen matrix of blood vessels.†More than 20 clinical studies done on European standardized horsechestnut show positive results. Four of these were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.†
