AlchePharma Original GO-OUT Plex: Advanced Mobility Support Formula with Tart Cherry, Celery Seed, Bromelain
Product Description: Rediscover the joy of fluid movement with AlchePharma’s Original GO-OUT Plex, a scientifically formulated dietary supplement designed to support joint comfort and healthy mobility. In the world of phytochemistry, the synergy between specific botanical compounds is paramount. GO-OUT Plex leverages a high-potency Proprietary Herbal and Nutrient Blend that combines the traditional wisdom of herbalism with modern extraction technologies. This formula is anchored by the dual-action power of Tart Cherry (Prunus cerasus) and Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) extracts. These fruits are rich in anthocyanins—flavonoid pigments extensively studied in academic literature for their ability to maintain healthy uric acid levels already within a normal range. We pair this with a potent Celery Seed Extract (Apium graveolens), standardized to contain 2.2% volatile oils, ensuring you receive the bioactive phthalides essential for supporting circulatory flow and fluid balance. To further enhance bioavailability and efficacy, the blend incorporates Bromelain (1200 GDU/g), a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple stems known for its ability to modulate tissue response, alongside Turmeric Root (Curcuma longa), the gold standard for supporting a healthy inflammatory response to physical stress. Whether you are an athlete seeking recovery support or simply looking to maintain flexibility as you age, GO-OUT Plex offers a comprehensive, plant-based approach to structural vitality. Why AlchePharma GO-OUT Plex Stands Out: Standardized Potency: Unlike generic powders, we use a 4:1 Tart Cherry Extract and a 20:1 Black Cherry Extract, ensuring a concentrated dose of active compounds in every capsule. Enzymatic Synergy: The inclusion of Bromelain rated at 1200 GDU/g (Gelatin Digestion Units) provides a high-activity enzymatic catalyst often missing from standard cherry supplements. Clean Label Manufacturing: We utilize Organic Rice Concentrate and Organic Rice Extract as flow agents, eliminating the need for synthetic fillers or magnesium stearate. GMP Quality Assured: Manufactured in a facility that strictly adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and is committed to Earth-Friendly production methods. Volatile Oil Retention: Our Celery Seed extract is carefully processed to retain 2.2% volatile oils, preserving the delicate bioactive components often lost in heat processing. Cautions & Use Restrictions: WARNING: Not recommended while pregnant or lactating unless directed by a health care practitioner. Do not use if the safety seal is broken or missing.

Phosphatidyl Serine Complex 500mg. SerinAID® PS (clinically studied complete complex)
FDA QUALIFIEDHEALTH CLAIM CLINICALLY STUDIED PHOSPHOLIPID COMPLEX · SERINAID® BY CHEMI NUTRA SerinAID® PhosphatidylserineComplex 500 mg A complete complex of major brain-cell phospholipids and associated fatty acids — built around the phosphatidylserine ingredient behind most of the clinical research on PS conducted in the last fifteen years, and the subject of two FDA-authorized Qualified Health Claims. THE ACTIVE 100mg Phosphatidylserine SerinAID®, from soy lecithin SUPPORTING 55mg Phosphatidylcholine Acetylcholine precursor SUPPORTING 20mg Phosphatidylethanolamine Neuronal membrane lipid SUPPORTING 10mg Phosphatidylinositol Cell-signaling lipid While most phosphatidylserine supplements isolate a single phospholipid, AlchePharma SerinAID® Phosphatidylserine Complex 500 mg keeps PS in the company it naturally keeps. PS is a phospholipid molecule and a major component of cell membranes, particularly within nerve cells of the brain, where it contributes to cell-to-cell communication and helps maintain the fluid structure so vital to normal cell function. Because our PS is sourced from lecithin, this formula retains a full complex of major phospholipids along with the associated fatty acids that occur naturally alongside PS — rather than delivering an isolated ingredient. 🏛️ A Rare Regulatory Distinction Very few dietary ingredients have ever earned an FDA-authorized Qualified Health Claim. Phosphatidylserine is one of them. In 2003 the FDA reviewed the scientific evidence on PS and authorized the following claims — each one reproduced here with the qualifying language the FDA itself requires alongside it: ✓ Cognitive dysfunction: “Consumption of phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly. FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence supporting this claim.” ✓ Dementia: “Consumption of phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly. FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence supporting this claim.” ✓ What "Qualified" means: a Qualified Health Claim sits between an ordinary structure/function claim and a fully substantiated one — FDA reviewed the evidence and authorized the wording, while explicitly flagging that the evidence is limited, not conclusive. A Complete Complex, Not an Isolate 🧠 THE CORNERSTONE Phosphatidylserine — SerinAID® SerinAID®, manufactured by Chemi Nutra — a world leader in the research and manufacturing of soy-derived phospholipids — is the most well-studied form of PS available, as most of the clinical research on PS conducted over the past fifteen years has used Chemi Nutra’s material. PS is concentrated in nerve-cell membranes, where it helps maintain the fluid structure those membranes depend on and contributes to healthy cell-to-cell communication.* 🧬 THE SUPPORTING COMPLEX Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylethanolamine & Phosphatidylinositol Rather than isolating PS on its own, this formula preserves the broader phospholipid profile naturally found alongside it in lecithin. These three phospholipids are structural components of healthy cell membranes and are involved in the release, binding, and activity of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin — all necessary for normal, healthy brain function.* 🥕 THE COMPLEMENT Associated Fatty Acids Alongside its phospholipids, this complex carries a naturally occurring profile of fatty acids — including linoleic, oleic, palmitic, stearic, capric, and caprylic acids — that are integral to brain health and function.* These come from the same lecithin source rather than being added as separate isolated ingredients, and also contribute to healthy glucose utilization and cortisol balance in the brain.* What Makes This Formula Different 🏛️ FDA-Recognized, Not Just Marketed One of a small number of dietary ingredients carrying an FDA-authorized Qualified Health Claim — reviewed by the agency itself, presented here with FDA’s own required qualifying language. 🔬 The Most-Studied Form of PS SerinAID® is behind most of the clinical research published on phosphatidylserine over the past fifteen years — not a generic, unbranded PS source. 🧬 A Complex, Not an Isolate Retains the phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and fatty acids that occur naturally alongside PS in lecithin, instead of stripping them away. ✅ Clean-Label Softgel Free of sugar, salt, dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, preservatives, and artificial colors or flavors. ✅ GLUTEN-FREE ✅ NO SUGAR/SALT/DAIRY ✅ NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS/FLAVORS ✅ NO PRESERVATIVES SUGGESTED USE Serving Size: 1 Softgel CapsuleDirections: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) softgel capsule, one (1) to three (3) times daily with meals, or as directed by a health care professional.

Chlorophyll from Mulberry Leaf as Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin ( 2mg copper per 15 drops) w/ Peppermint Essential Oil
AlchePharma® Verdant Vitality: The Premium Mulberry Chlorophyll Distinction The Academic Standard of Pure Botanical Nutrition In the landscape of plant-based supplementation, not all green pigments are created equal. While many commercial brands rely on low-cost, mass-harvested Alfalfa, AlchePharma® sets a higher physiological standard by exclusively sourcing our true-to-nature chlorophyll from Premium Mulberry Leaves (Morus alba). To ensure your body actually absorbs this vital plant energy, we utilize Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin. Rather than being a synthetic creation, this is a naturally stabilized, water-soluble form of pure plant chlorophyll. By naturally exchanging the plant's central magnesium atom with essential copper, the chlorophyll becomes highly stable and bioavailable, protecting it from degradation by light and heat while retaining its 100% natural origin. The AlchePharma® Advantage: Mulberry vs. Alfalfa Most consumers are unaware that the exact botanical source of their green supplement dictates its purity and efficacy. Here is why our carefully sourced Mulberry extract stands alone: The Purity of Mulberry: Alfalfa is a legume that can often be subjected to genetic modification and contains L-canavanine, an amino acid some prefer to avoid. Our Mulberry leaves provide a rigorously clean, 100% Non-GMO, and highly concentrated source of chlorophyll with a superior safety and purity profile. Stabilized for Maximum Bioavailability: Natural plant chlorophyll is strictly fat-soluble, meaning it often passes right through the human digestive tract unabsorbed. Our naturally stabilized Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin is completely water-soluble, allowing for rapid, seamless assimilation directly into your system. High-Potency Copper Synergy: Each serving naturally delivers 2 mg of essential Copper (222% DV). Copper is a critical mineral cofactor for superoxide dismutase (SOD)—one of the body’s most powerful endogenous antioxidants—and is vital for cellular energy production. Pure Botanical Infusion: We strictly avoid synthetic masking agents or artificial flavors. Our clean, refreshing taste comes solely from natural Peppermint Essential Oil, which simultaneously supports digestive comfort.

Beta Carotene Patented Betatene®, 100% Natural Mixed carotenoids (Dunaliella Salina) Micro Algae
Background: Beta-carotene is a red-orange colored phytochemical found in high amounts in various fruits and vegetables (i.e. carrots and sweet potatoes). Beta-carotene is known as provitamin A. Provitamin A, unlike preformed vitamin A (retinol) must be converted into vitamin A before it can be used as vitamin A by the body. In addition to its role as a precursor to vitamin A, beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant. Our natural beta-carotene is from patented Betatene®. Betatene is derived from the nutrient-rich sea algae, dunaliella salina, which delivers a concentrated mix of naturally-occurring carotenoids, including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lutein. Features: Betatene® brand natural mixed carotenoids. Includes naturally-occurring beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lutein. Provides 25,000 IU beta-carotene per serving. Easy-to swallow softgel. Benefits: Serves as a precursor to vitamin A which is essential for normal, healthy vision, immune function, skin health and normal cell growth.* Beta-carotene provides antioxidant protection helping to neutralize free radicals.* Carotenoids alpha-carotene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lutein provide synergistic benefits such as antioxidant protection, as well as support of skin and eye health.* Ingredients Betatene® Betatene—Australia’s Own Natural Beta-Carotene Monday, September 11th, 2017 Betatene Australia’s Own Natural Beta Carotene Natural pink lagoons found in Australia contain an important health ingredient produced by algae, dunaliella salina. This article discusses the health benefits of algae beta-carotene and shows how betatene® from BASF can be incorporated into effective consumer solutions. By Dr Kai Lin Ek and Dr Ute Obermueller Jevic, scientific marketing managers, BASF Nutrition and Health Betatene—Australia’s Own Natural Beta Carotene 1 With a growing appreciation globally for products that are ‘natural’ and ‘Australian’, BASF’s natural beta-carotene can well and truly meet this demand. This naturally occurring beta-carotene is derived from algae, Dunaliella salina, grown in open-air seawater lagoons at two BASF sites—in Whyalla (South Australia) and in Hutt Lagoon (Western Australia). In these lagoons, Dunaliella salina is exposed to the full brunt of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation and has evolved a special mechanism for defending itself from the radiation’s damaging effects. As a protective mechanism to UV stress, the algae produces carotenoids, predominantly beta-carotene, which is then stored in lipid droplets within the algaes’ chloroplasts. WHAT IS BETA-CAROTENE? Beta-carotene is a naturally occurring, red-orange pigment found abundantly in foods like carrots, pumpkins as well as sweet potatoes and is the best known pro-vitamin A of all carotenoids. It is also traditionally considered to be the most important carotenoid in the human diet. Beta-carotene can act as a filter of UV light, is an antioxidant and a modulator of cell growth that helps protect the body against the most common non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. DELVING DEEPER INTO BETA-CAROTENE FROM ALGAE ‘Natural’ beta-carotene, such as that found in many fruits and vegetables or grown from algae contains a different mix of isomers compared to those produced synthetically. Specifically, algae-based beta-carotene contains almost equal amounts of trans and cis geometrical isomers of beta-carotene, and in particular the 9-cis isomer. In contrast, beta-carotene from synthesis or fermentation only contains trans isomers. Isomers refer to molecules that have the same formula but a different shape, thus resulting in different properties. The cis isomers of beta-carotene occur naturally in fruits, vegetables and algae; they can be formed during food preparation upon heating; during storage of supplements and during digestion in the human body. Considerable amounts of cis-isomers of beta-carotene are also present in various human and animal tissues. Observations support the suggestion that beta-carotene isomers may possess isomer-specific biological actions. All-trans and 9-cis beta-carotene, in particular, have received the most attention because both are involved in gene regulation. While all-trans isomers have a higher potency in terms of vitamin-A activity, 9-cis beta-carotene appears to have better antioxidant activity and specific benefits in heart, eye, and skin. 9-CIS BETA-CAROTENE FOR SUPERIOR ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY Studies from bench-top and animal experiments indicate 9-cis beta-carotene may be a better antioxidant than the all-trans isomer. In a human trial with asthma patients, supplementation with algae beta-carotene helped to prevent post-exercise symptoms. Antioxidant benefits of 9-cis beta-carotene were also shown in humans, although not yet in direct comparison with all-trans beta-carotene. Thirty-four patients received a week of oral supplementation with a placebo or 64 mg/day beta-carotene. All patients given placebo showed a significant post-exercise reduction of more than 15 percent in their forced expiratory volume in one second. Of the 38 patients who received a daily dose of 64 mg of beta-carotene for one week, 53 percent were protected against exercise-induced airway symptoms. The authors concluded that the results indicate that a daily dose of beta-carotene from an algae source exerts protection in some patients, most probably through antioxidant effects. NUTRITIONAL SOLUTION FOR SUN PROTECTION Betatene Nutritional Solution For Sun Protection UV radiation exerts a number of detrimental effects to human skin. The most familiar one is an acute sunburn reaction, which is a reddening (erythema) and swelling (edema) of the skin developing within minutes or hours after excessive exposure to sunlight and tanning beds. Chronic exposure to UV radiation causes long-term skin damage like skin cancer and premature skin ageing. While skin cancer is mainly due to exposure to UVB light (290-320 nm), exposure to UVA light (320-400 nm) leads to premature skin ageing, which manifests as fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and, in severe cases, precancerous lesions. UVA is less potent than UVB in causing acute skin responses but penetrates to the middle skin layer (dermis) and causes damage to the area where new skin cells are created. Avoiding too much sun exposure and topical application of sunscreens prior to exposure represent the established strategies for protection against sunburn and skin damage. In recent years, however, providing additional nutritional protection of the skin has been discussed and among the substances that are being suggested for such a nutritional approach is beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a potent biological antioxidant. It is a strong singlet oxygen quencher in in vitro studies and experiments in animal models indicate that beta-carotene may provide skin photo protection in vivo. UVB induced skin erythema is due to the formation of reactive oxygen species in irradiated skin and the antioxidative nature of beta-carotene is able to stop free radicals that otherwise would damage DNA, proteins and lipids. Studies show that oral intake beta-carotene accumulates in the skin and in addition to antioxidative effects has other photo-protective effects in high concentrations by absorbing and/or reflecting visible and UV light. In a meta-analysis by Kopcke et al. (2008), the authors looked at human supplementation studies on dietary protection against sunburn using beta-carotene. The authors concluded the following: · Photo-protection induced by oral beta-carotene supplementation is always present homogenously in the whole skin compared to topical application which requires re-application and the worry of “missing a spot”; · Protection using dietary supplementation of beta-carotene required a minimum of 10 weeks of supplementation and for every additional month of supplementation, the degree of protection increased; · Nutritional supplementation is complementary to topical application of sunscreens for photo-protection and should be combined. Notably, three of the seven studies highlighted in the meta-analysis used algae beta-carotene, and these studies showed the strongest results favouring the use of beta-carotene supplementation over a placebo in sunburn prevention. OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS—HEART HEALTH AND EYE HEALTH Atherosclerosis is a condition in most cardiovascular diseases, where the walls of the arteries become thick and stiff because of fatty deposit accumulation. In experimental and clinical studies, algae source 9-cis beta-carotene had positive effects on heart health. In arterial walls, it can inhibit the formation of foam cells from macrophages, which is a key process in atherosclerosis. This was shown in an experimental study in mice using beta-carotene with 50 percent all-trans and 50 percent 9-cis isomers. Feeding algae extract increased beta-carotene levels in plasma and macrophages (both all-trans and 9-cis isomers) and it inhibited formation of pro-atherogenic foam cells. In the same study, pure 9-cis beta-carotene as well as an extract of algae powder inhibited foam cell formation while pure all-trans beta-carotene failed to have an effect. Other carotenoids present in the algae extract including phytoene and phytofluene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and alpha-carotene were tested in comparison but were not as effective as 9-cis betacarotene or the algae extract. In another mice study, researchers found that a diet containing natural carotenoids, rich in 9-cis beta-carotene, had the potential to inhibit atherosclerosis progression, particularly in a high-fat diet regime. In patients with cardiovascular disease, 9-cis betacarotene in combination with drug therapy improved HDL-cholesterol levels. This was observed by Shaish et al. (2006) where 20 fibrate-treated men with plasma HDL-cholesterol levels below 40 mg/dl were given 60 mg beta-carotene/day, containing all-trans and 9-cis betacarotene at a one to one ratio. The results show that a combination treatment of fibrate plus 9-cis beta-carotene amplifies the effect of the drug on HDL-cholesterol levels. Several studies have suggested that 9-cis beta-carotene, as a precursor of 9-cis-retinal and all-trans-retinal, could also have therapeutic applications in vision loss. In patients with retinitis pigmentosa, the leading cause of incurable inherited blindness in the developed world, algae source 9-cis beta-carotene improved eye (retina) function which was shown in a clinical trial by Rotenstreich et al. (2013). The authors concluded that 9-cis beta-carotene may represent a new therapeutic approach for some patients with retinitis pigmentosa. This finding is consistent with recent reports of significant functional and structural improvements after treatment in mouse-model experimental studies. For retinal dystrophy leading to night blindness, in another small human trial by Rotenstreich et al. (2010) there was an improvement in visual function and structure after supplementation of 60mg/day algae beta-carotene containing an equal ratio of trans to cis isomers for 90 days. All of the subjects showed significant improvements in peripheral visual field and a highly significant improvement in rod cell recovery rates. While the precise mechanism of the observed beneficial effect has not yet been established, it indicates potential for algae beta-carotene therapy in yet another area of eye health. BETATENE—BASF’S TRULY NATURAL MIXED CAROTENOIDS Sourced from marine algae and grown in saltwater lagoons in Australia, the carotenoids are harvested free of chemical solvents, and are carefully extracted and formulated using natural plant oils. Betatene is cultivated using the most natural manufacturing process of a beta-carotene without human interference on its carotenoid profile or mix. Betatene provides a unique blend of carotenoids similar to that found in fruits and vegetables. While beta-carotene is the dominant carotenoid, also naturally present are alpha-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and crytoxanthin. Approved in all major markets and meeting all standards, Betatene contains up to 90 percent beta-carotene and thereof 37 percent 9-cis beta-carotene (best ratio 63:37). It is available as cold water dispersible (CWD) powders for beverage applications, oily dispersions for application in food and soft capsules as well as direct compressible (DC) powders for tablet and hard gelatin capsule applications. In addition, Betatene is also safe for use as a colour in many foods, and has shown excellent stability in target food and beverage applications. With decades of use history, proven science-based findings and produced under BASF’s highest quality standards, this well-known natural ingredient with its wide spectrum of health benefits can bring better well-being and improve health of consumers all over the world.

Soy Lecithin Granules (Non-GMO) 16 oz
Lecithin is a natural emulsifier found in many foods. It is often found in foods such as mayonnaise (mixture of fat and water-soluble substance) where eggs which contain lecithin act as an emulsifying agent to keep them mixed together rather than separated such as what happens in a mixture of oil and vinegar due to a lack of an emulsifier like lecithin. Our lecithin is derived from soybeans. Lecithin from soy is an excellent source of phospholipids. These compounds play important structural and functional roles in the cell, particularly the cell membrane. About 60% of the dry weight of the brain is composed of phospholipids, hence their importance in brain structure and function. As part of the structure of brain cell membranes, phospholipids help support neurotransmitter and hormone function, as they provide the environment that cells need for cell to cell communication and overall cell function. Phosphatidylcholine is a good source of choline, which is needed to support neurotransmitter production, essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system. Lecithin has also been studied for its role in helping to support healthy cholesterol metabolism, fat digestion and metabolism, thereby providing support for healthy cholesterol levels.* Benefits: Excellent source of phosphatidylcholine (PC), an important phospholipid that is a significant component of the cell membrane particularly that of nerve cells including the brain. PC is also a source of choline which is used by the body to make the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Lecithin is also a source of other phospholipids including phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Both of these compounds are critical to normal, healthy cell function.* Phosphatidylcholine provides a source of choline which the body uses to manufacture acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in numerous neurological mechanisms including cell to cell communication, particularly as it relates to learning and short term memory.* PC levels have been shown to decline with age, therefore supplementation becomes even more important as we age.* PC has also been shown to help support normal, healthy liver and gall bladder function.*

LUTEIN PLUS 20 MG ( crystalline free lutein ) w/ Zeaxanthin and Bilberry - Lutemax®
Lutein Plus 20 mg with Zeaxanthin & Bilberry — Lutemax® AlchePharma's Lutein Plus is built around Lutemax®, a patented and trademarked carotenoid extract sourced from marigold (Tagetes erecta) flowers — delivering both lutein and zeaxanthin together, in the ratios naturally found in leafy green vegetables. This dual-carotenoid delivery matters: the macula, the central region of the retina responsible for fine and focal vision, is preferentially built from exactly these two pigments, and the body cannot synthesize either one on its own. Each capsule provides 20 mg of lutein and 1000 mcg of zeaxanthin, plus 25 mg of bilberry fruit powder (Vaccinium myrtillus) for its anthocyanoside content — compounds studied for supporting healthy blood vessel function and structural integrity around the eye.† Together, these three ingredients are positioned to support the eye's own natural defenses against a specific, modern stressor: the blue light emitted continuously by screens, devices, and overhead lighting. What sets Lutemax® apart from a generic marigold extract is standardization and patent protection — most budget lutein products isolate lutein alone, in unstandardized concentrations. Lutemax® is formulated and trademarked specifically to deliver both carotenoids together, which is the combination studied in the published research on macular pigment.† AlchePharma sources this formulation through Reliance, keeping the ingredient story traceable back to a named, patented material rather than an anonymous bulk extract. Available in 30, 60, or 120-capsule sizes to match how consistently you take it — because macular carotenoid support is a daily-use nutrient, not a one-time dose. Key Benefits Macular Support: Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two carotenoids the macula is built from, supporting its structure and function with daily use.† Blue Light Defense: These carotenoids act as natural filters for blue light at the retinal level.† Antioxidant & Vascular Support: Bilberry's anthocyanosides support healthy circulation to the small blood vessels supplying the eye.† Patented, Standardized Source: Lutemax® guarantees a consistent lutein-to-zeaxanthin ratio batch to batch — not left to natural variation. Differentiators Patented Lutemax® — not a generic, unstandardized marigold extract Delivers both lutein and zeaxanthin, not lutein alone Standardized ratio mirrors what's naturally found in green vegetables Bilberry added specifically for synergistic vascular/antioxidant support, not filler Gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of major allergens Available in 30/60/120-count sizes Production & Ingredient Advantages Sourced through Reliance's private-label supply chain, this formulation centers on a single named, patented raw material (Lutemax®) rather than an unbranded bulk carotenoid blend — meaning the potency and lutein:zeaxanthin ratio are standardized and traceable, not just declared. The formulation avoids synthetic dyes, artificial flavors, and added sugar, and keeps the excipient list short: cellulose, spinach powder, rosemary extract (a natural preservative), magnesium stearate, silica, and d-alpha tocopheryl succinate (natural vitamin E, used here as a stabilizer). Cautions Consult a healthcare professional before starting, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease Individual results vary; not a substitute for professional medical care or treatment Lutemax® is a registered trademark of its respective manufacturer, used here under formulation license Common Allergen Report Gluten-free, non-GMO.

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) 600mg Active w/ Co-Factors L-Selenomethione and Molybdenum
Contains synergistic ingredients that help support normal, healthy liver detoxification and provide antioxidant protection.* 600 mg of NAC Includes cofactors selenium and molybdenum. Vegetarian capsule Gluten free N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a source of the amino acid cysteine. The body is capable of making limited quantities of cysteine, which is used to manufacture the body’s most powerful naturally made antioxidant, glutathione. Glutathione is an important component of antioxidant enzymes, as well as an essential component of the liver’s detoxification processes. NAC has been shown to be more efficient at supporting higher glutathione levels than supplemental glutathione itself. NAC helps protect the liver from the potentially harmful effects of free radicals which are generated during metabolism, found in our environment, and those derived from the metabolism of alcohol and certain medications. Selenium and molybdenum are included as essential cofactors.* Benefits: N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) serves as a source of cysteine required for the liver’s synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant which helps neutralize free radicals produced during the first phase of liver detoxification. Glutathione is also needed during phase 2 liver detoxification. In this phase various chemical intermediates produced in phase 1 are chemically bound to specific amino acids and then prepared for excretion via the kidneys (urine). If there is inadequate glutathione toxic chemicals can accumulate causing liver damage and damage to healthy cells.* NAC has been shown in studies to help protect the liver from the damaging effects of drug and or alcohol toxicity.* Selenium is an important cofactor for the production of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme made in the liver that helps neutralize toxic free radicals.* Molybdenum is an essential cofactor for the phase 2 detoxification process known as sulfation. This process, through the use of sulfur containing compound such as glutathione, taurine and SAMe, helps to detoxify sulfur containing chemicals found in food additives, drugs and the environment, all of which can be potentially harmful to the body.* Label

Hyaluronic Acid- KollaGen-IIxs™ Type II Collagen & Chondroitin Sulfate- Joint and Cartilage Support
The human body is made up of many joints. These joints are essential to movement and our ability to undertake daily tasks. As we age, the integrity of our joints may become compromised. Injury, excess weight, poor nutrition, and disease can leave joints, stiff, swollen, achy, and with reduced mobility. Cartilage serves to protect the joints and is typically the first thing to be affected when problems develop. Type II Collagen is the major structural protein responsible for the tensile strength and resilience of cartilage. It comprises 85-90% of the collagen that makes up the smooth white tissue (articular cartilage) that covers the ends of the bones at the joint surface. Type II Collagen is also replete in glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulfate and Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic Acid is concentrated in the synovial fluid that fills the joint cavities which is responsible for reducing friction between the articulating joints and acts as a shock absorber.* Features: 500 mg of Type II Collagen (KollaGen-IIxs™) Provides 50 mg of naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Contains 100 mg of naturally occurring Chondroitin Sulfate Clinically studied to provide joint support Gluten Free Benefits: KollaGen-IIxs™, taken in a dose of 500 mg three times daily, has been clinically shown to benefit joint health and improve mobility.* Type II collagen is a natural source of Hyaluronic Acid (HA); an essential component of synovial fluid that reduces friction and cushions joints.* Type II collagen contains naturally occurring glycoproteins which enhances the antioxidant protection within joints.* Chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes such as collagenase, elastase and proteoglycanase that can become overactive in joint degeneration, thereby compromising the integrity of these tissues.* Suggested Use: As a Dietary Supplement, take one (1) capsule, one (1) to three (3) times daily, 30 minutes before a meal, or as directed by a health care professional.

Cranberry + D-Mannose w/1000mg D-Mannose and a 37:1 Cranberry super concentrate at 4% proanthocyanidins
AlchePharma's Cranberry + D-Mannose combination offers powerful nutritional support based on two very well studied naturally occurring substances. D- Mannose at 1000 mg. Cranberry Fruit 37:1 Concentrate at 4% Proanthocyanidins Cranberry Several studies indicate that Cranberry helps prevent UTIs of the bladder and urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder), especially for women who have frequent UTIs. In one study of older women, cranberry juice reduced the number of bacteria in the bladder compared to placebo. Another study showed that younger women with a history of frequent UTIs who took cranberry capsules had fewer UTIs compared to those who took a placebo. A 2006 pilot study looked at twelve women between the ages of 25 and 70 with a history of UTIs to determine if a concentrated cranberry extract could prevent recurrent UTIs. During the study of administering the cranberry extract, none of the twelve subjects had a UTI. After a two-year follow-up, eight of the twelve women who continued to take the cranberry extract reported no UTI and no adverse effects. It was concluded that a cranberry preparation with a high phenolic content may completely prevent UTIs in women who are subject to recurrent infections. Two studies that cranberry may also prevent the bacteria Helicobacter pylori from attaching to stomach walls. H. pylori can cause stomach ulcers, so cranberries may play a role in preventing stomach ulcers. What is D-Mannose? D-Mannose, is a simple six-carbon sugar. D-Mannose is a stereoisomer that is a mirror image of Glucose and naturally occurs as a monosaccharide (simple sugar) in fruit like blueberries and Cranberries, as well as in other plants and fungi. Mannose exists in two forms - alpha and beta. The alpha form is mild and sweet, while the beta form is bitter. The natural manufacturing methods for Mannose results in a mixture of these two forms; yielding a product that is mildly sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste. How can a simple sugar like Mannose be good for me? Studies suggest that Mannose may maintain and support a healthy urinary tract by blocking the adhesion of foreign particles to the surface of the host tissue. In most cases, foreign particles utilize tiny hair-like projections on their surface called fimbrium. Protruding from the tips of these fimbrium are glycoproteins called lectins. It's these lectins that bind to the surface tissues that line the urinary tract. When sufficient Mannose is consumed, the excess molecules of this sugar present in the urine attach to the lectins, thereby blocking foreign particles from adhering to the tissues of the bladder and forming new colonies. The Mannose-bound foreign particles are subsequently flushed away through the urinary tract. Does Mannose act like sucrose once digested? Although D-Mannose is a simple sugar and is absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, it is absorbed in a slower rate than most sugars and is not readily converted to glycogen for storage. A substantial amount of D-Mannose is absorbed into the bloodstream and, after passing through the kidneys and bladder, is excreted into the urine. How do you monitor the quality of your Mannose? It is not certain just what is a "perfect" alpha-to beta- Mannose ratio, but an initial sweet taste indicates the ratio is sufficiently good. Mannose is analyzed to determine its purity. This is to preclude any dilution with other sugars, such as dextrose or sucrose. However, this analysis does not differentiate between the alpha and beta forms. Does Mannose work like an antibiotic? Mannose has no antibiotic properties and will not kill existing infections. If you have persistent burning and/or urgency symptoms, please seek professional medical evaluation to determine if these symptoms are caused a urinary tract infection. SUGGESTED USE: Take 2 capsules, up to 3 times per day or as directed by a health care professional. Label

L-Glutamine 100% Pure Free Form Powder - No Other Ingredients
L-Glutamine is a “conditionally” essential amino acid. The average healthy person can usually make enough glutamine to meet biological needs. A shortage of glutamine may arise when there is disease, injury or other physiological abnormality that increases the body’s requirement for glutamine. Glutamine is essential for the metabolism, structure, and function of the gastrointestinal tract and its associated immune component.* Glutamine serves as a major source of fuel for the cells that line the intestinal tract, helping to maintain their normal, healthy function.* Immune cells require glutamine to help function properly. During times of physical stress and disease i.e. lifting weights, cancer, severe burns, an individual’s requirement for glutamine increases dramatically. Providing the body with glutamine as L-glutamine helps maintain lean muscle mass, helps the healing process and supports the body during all types of physical stress.* Features: Our L-glutamine is the highest quality, pharmaceutical grade, free form L-glutamine available. It comes in a convenient powdered form which makes it easy to take the higher doses required by many individuals. Free form (predigested and ready to be used by the body) L-glutamine 5,000mg per scoop Benefits: L-glutamine is known as a conditionally-essential amino acid, meaning that the body is capable of making it, but in certain conditions and disease states, the body can’t make enough to meet biological requirements. L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in the blood and serves as a major source of fuel for the cells that line the intestinal tract.* L-glutamine is essential for a normal, healthy immune system (of which about 1/3 resides in the GI tract) and during infection glutamine requirements increase.* During trauma, glutamine requirements increase several-fold. If requirements are not met, the body will begin to breakdown muscle tissue (high glutamine content) as a source of glutamine. This is one of the reasons why severe trauma and or illness result in a significant loss of mean muscle mass and bodyweight. Higher amounts of L-glutamine must be provided during trauma or illness in supplemental form, as it is difficult to get the necessary amounts through diet alone. SUGGESTED USE: As a Dietary Supplement, adults take one scoop in eight ounces of water, one (1) to three (3) times daily, or as directed by a health care professional. Ingredients

The primary ingredients in this formula Suntheanine® and Relora® are backed by scientific research and have been shown to be safe and effective without causing drowsiness.† Features Suntheanine® brand of L-Theanine; a “calming” amino acid found in green tea. Relora® is a trademarked, proprietary blend of two herbs (magnolia and phellodendron). Contains synergistic herbs chamomile, oat straw and melissa (lemon balm). Valerian, scullcap, hops and passionflower are provided in small doses for their synergistic effects. Benefits Magnesium is an important mineral for supporting relaxation, including that of muscles which are often tense during times of physical and emotional stress.† Studies show Suntheanine® helps support normal alpha brain wave activity. Alpha brain waves promote a state of relaxation without causing drowsiness.† Suntheanine® helps to counteract feelings of anxiety by promoting a sense of “well-being”.† Relora® has been shown to support healthy levels of the stress hormone cortisol.† Healthy cortisol levels reflect a normal, healthy response to stress. Relora helps control stress related overeating, and associated body weight issues.† Relora® has also been shown to help support healthy sleep patterns.† Valerian has been shown to promote relaxation as well as a restful sleep.† Scullcap, hops and passionflower provide a significant synergistic effect by helping to promote relaxation.† Relora also helps support emotional well-being and diminish stress-related sugary cravings to promote healthy eating habits.* L-Theanine is a relaxing and nondietary amino acid found pretty much exclusively in teas from Camellia sinensis (alongside green tea catechins and caffeine) and is known to promote relaxation without sedation. Researchers in Japan gave volunteers 200 mg of L-theanine daily and recorded their sleep patterns on devices worn around their wrists. The L-theanine didn't cause the subjects to sleep longer, but it did cause them to sleep better. It was documented that sleep quality, recovery from exhaustion, and refreshed feelings were all enhanced by L-theanine. Those taking L-theanine felt like they slept longer than they actually did.21 This is good news for people who don't get enough sleep, or those who want to sleep less and do more. Today, chamomile is used as a dietary supplement for sleeplessness, anxiety, and gastrointestinal conditions such as upset stomach, gas, and diarrhea. Some preliminary studies suggest that a chamomile dietary supplement might be helpful for generalized anxiety disorder. Chamomile, whether in tea, tincture or essential oil form, is one the best medicinal herbs for fighting stress and promoting relaxation, according to research from Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine and Pharmacognosy Review. Hops is a plant. The dried, flowering part of the plant is used to make medicine.Hops is used for anxiety, inability to sleep (insomnia) and other sleep disorders, restlessness, tension, excitability, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), nervousness, and irritability.

Glutathione (Reduced) with Cofactors Vegan
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is made by every cell in the human body. Glutathione levels decrease as a result of aging, poor nutrition, exposure to toxins, and stress. In fact, many folks have been supplementing N-Acetyl Cysteine to support higher Glutathione levels. Reduced Glutathione is a key component of the antioxidant system and helps support healthy liver function. Reduced Glutathione helps protect the body from free radicals at the cellular level and promotes the detoxification of harmful compounds. If you want to increase your glutathione levels, taking a glutathione supplement in its active form is more effective than N-Acetyl Cysteine for increasing glutathione levels. Features Glutathione Support provides 250 mg of L-Glutathione (reduced), the stable form of this Amino Acid for antioxidant health Glutathione Support also features co-factors, such as Alpha Lipoic Acid (50 mg), L-Cysteine (50 mg), Riboflavin-5-Phosphate (1.3 mg), L-selenomethionine (55 mcg) and Chelated Molybdenum (45 mcg) Vegan & Non GMO Contains No dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors Benefits Glutathione Support provides the nutrients to protect liver function through the natural replenishing of L-Glutathione (reduced), the primary factor affecting liver activities and health. L-Glutathione (reduced) is believed to enhance the innate and adaptive immunity as well as some protection against infections. (The liver contains the majority of the body’s glutathione, used to detoxify the body and to regulate immune function.)† Glutathione Support may improve quality, health and appearance of skin, the body’s first line of defense against exogenous injuries, such as oxidants, UV rays, toxins and infections.† The brain is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage due to the high levels of unsaturated lipids, oxygen, redox metal ions, and relatively poor antioxidant systems. Increasing glutathione levels may protect brain health and slow mild cognitive impairment (MCI) caused by oxidative stress.† Glutathione Support provides the L-Glutathione (reduced) that naturally decreases with age, improving cellular health and function, helping to repair the damage caused by free radicals and their accumulation in the body cells.† Glutathione Support’s co-factors help Glutathione work better. Selenium is an essential mineral and a glutathione cofactor, meaning it’s a substance needed for glutathione activity. Molybdenum activates enzymes that help break down harmful sulfites and prevent toxins from building up in the body. Alpha Lipoic Acid and Methylated B2 (P-5-R) enhances the production of Glutathione.† Supports normal, healthy cell growth and maturation.† Ingredients Riboflavin (as riboflavin Amount 5'-phosphate sodium), Selenium (as L-selenomethionine) , Molybdenum (from molybdenum chelate), L-Glutathione (reduced), Alpha Lipoic Acid, L-Cysteine, Vegan capsule (modified cellulose, water), cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica.
