  Background: Whey protein, derived from milk, is one of the highest quality proteins available.  Over the past several years, numerous research studies have demonstrated the significant health benefits of whey protein.  In addition to being an excellent source of high-quality protein, whey also contains significant amounts of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) leucine, isoleucine, and valine.  Whey protein contains key building blocks for glutathione synthesis, and contains important immune supporting factors.* Overall, whey protein is one of the most versatile sources of protein, due to the many health benefits it provides.  As part of a comprehensive weight management program, bodybuilding regimen, or as a way to meet daily protein requirements, whey protein can help support optimal health and wellness.*   Features: It contains a combination of ion-exchanged ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate and isolates sourced from Fonterra, a New Zealand based co-op of over 11,000 dairy farmers. Rich in branched chain amino acids isoleucine, leucine and valine. Guaranteed free of rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone)-as there is no accurate way to test for rBGH, to ensure this hormone is not being used, it must be sourced from a country i.e. New Zealand where it is illegal to use.   Contains NO Genetically Modified Organisms (non-GMO). Available in natural unflavored, natural vanilla and natural chocolate flavors. Natural vanilla and natural chocolate also contain Sweta® brand stevia (no licorice aftertaste) and luo han guo fruit extract. Gluten-free   Benefits: Whey protein is one of the highest quality proteins, which studies have shown help support the growth and maintenance of lean muscle tissue.* Rich in BCAA’s which are used to fuel working muscles and stimulate protein synthesis within muscle tissue.* Whey contains high amounts of leucine which helps maintain lean muscle mass,  provides an energy source for working muscles and initiates the biochemical processes that “fires up” protein synthesis.*   A rich source of glutamine, an amino acid which helps support lean muscle mass and provides support for healthy immune and gastrointestinal function.* Whey protein is a source of gamma-glutamylcysteine, a building block for the synthesis of glutathione, the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant.  Glutathione is also essential for supporting liver detoxification, a biochemical pathway that helps neutralize potentially toxic substances and prepares them for excretion.* Whey protein contains several immunoglobulins (immune proteins) such as beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin and bovine serum albumin which help support normal, healthy immune function.*  Ingredients UNFLAVORED    Ingredients VANILLA Ingredients CHOCOLATE

Enjoy all the goodness of the best tasting plant protein that Mother Nature has to offer! Background: Protein is an important macronutrient that is an essential to preserving and nurturing good health. While its importance is undisputed; most people over look plants as a viable source for their protein requirement. Although animal sourced proteins are ranked higher on the food chain than plants; they also have appreciable amounts of cholesterol and saturated fats. Additionally, they can also be a source of antibiotics, hormones and other undesirable elements that are part and parcel of food production as we know it today. Plant proteins however have no cholesterol or saturated fat and when properly formulated; provide proteins with a biological value that is comparable to other popular sources of animal derived proteins. Pea protein, as an example, is rich in branch chain amino acids which is essential for preserving and building muscle. Sacha Inchi and chia are rich in omega 3 and along with cranberry compliment the protein profile of pea to provide a plant protein that mixes well, tastes great, and is easy to digest.   Features: A Plant Protein That Does Not Taste Like Plant Protein.

The body’s allergic response is typically triggered by environmental factors. Specific chemicals in the environment cause the immune system to respond by secreting chemicals such as inflammatory mediators which cause the characteristic symptoms associated with allergies. Quercetin 500 Plus is a synergistic combination of nutrients and phytochemicals that help support a normal healthy response to environmental factors. This formula helps in supporting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response to allergic mediators as well as providing potent antioxidant activity.   Features 500 mg of quercetin, a potent bioflavonoid known to support the body in the presence of allergens and other immune and inflammatory triggers.† Contains vitamin C which works synergistically with quercetin. Bromelain a natural plant-derived enzyme. Turmeric a potent plant-derived compound to help support a natural anti-inflammatory response.† Citrus bioflavonoids work synergistically with quercetin and vitamin C.   Benefits Quercetin helps to stabilize the mast cell release of histamine. Histamine is a potent chemical secreted in response to allergens and inflammatory mediators, causing the characteristic symptoms associated with allergies and inflammation.† Vitamin C has been shown to neutralize some of the effects of histamine, and those individuals with allergies tend to have low levels of vitamin C, and therefore, an increased requirement.† Bromelain is a naturally-occurring enzyme in pineapple. It is effective for supporting a healthy anti-inflammatory response by helping to regulate the production of prostaglandins involved in the inflammatory process.† Turmeric contains active compounds known as curcuminoids which have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.† Citrus bioflavonoids help support the absorption and utilization of vitamin C, provide antioxidant support and support the structure of blood vessels and other soft tissue.*†   LABEL

L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, commonly known as Branched Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs, cannot be produced by the body and must be consumed through diet or dietary supplements. They are essential to building and maintaining muscle tissue and have long been used by athletes and other active individuals to activate protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown caused by intense training or physical activity.Vegetarian BCAA 1,000 mg- Branch Chain Amino Acids with Glutamine and B VitaminsBCAA's and Glutamine are essential to building and maintaining muscle tissue.BCAA's activate protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown caused by intense training or physical activity.Glutamine is the most abundant building block of protein in the body. The body can make enough glutamine for its regular needs. But during times of extreme stress (i.e. after intense exercise or an injury), your body may need more glutamine than it can make. Glutamine plays a major role in helping your muscles repair themselves after stressPubChem notes that one of the main roles L-glutamine plays in muscle recovery is moving nitrogen atoms from wherever they are to where they are needed. To build muscle, you need to maintain a positive nitrogen balance. After a heavy workout, rushing nitrogen to your damaged muscles stimulates tissue repair. If glutamine is lacking in the body, the damaged tissue may stay damaged because it doesn't have the materials to rebuild. Label

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

Background: Maximizing a work out and achieving desired results is the goal of both weekend warriors and trained athletes alike. It extends far beyond the physical preparation of warming up the muscles, stretching and ensuring that the body has had sufficient rest. Addressing the body’s nutritional requirements is of equal importance to ensure that the physical demands made during moderate to intense work outs will not result in poor performance or injury. Clean Fit™ PRE-Workout formula was specifically designed to incorporate scientifically validated ingredients in a delicious citrus splash flavor that’s not only fast acting but easy to use. The combination of creatine, beta-alanine, arginine, Kreb Cycle intermediates, guarana, alpha lipoic acid and citrulline helps to promote strength, endurance and energy during a workout while providing crucial antioxidant protection.   Features: Free of hormones, steroids and artificial stimulants Delicious citrus splash flavor Contains no preservatives, artificial flavors or sweeteners Clinically tested beta-alanine from CarnoSyn® Fast acting and easy to use Gluten free   Benefits: Creatine monohydrate provides energy to the muscle. It improves power, strength, increased muscle size (lean muscle growth) and increased repititions.* Citrulline malate supports the body in optimizing blood flow. Studies show that it can reduce the sensation of fatigue as well as increase ATP production. It also plays a role in the urea cycle, which helps to support normal, healthy lactic acid levels during workouts.* Alpha lipoic acid acts as an antioxidant and an “insulin mimicker”, it has been shown to increase glucose uptake by muscle cells and decrease glucose uptake by fat cells. Meaning more muscle, less fat.* Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAK) increases nitric oxide levels creating an environment for muscle growth in the body by increasing the volume of blood flowing through muscle tissue. Leading to greater strength, improved muscle recovery, and increased endurance.* By boosting carnosine levels with beta-alanine, muscle fibers can stay in an optimal pH range making them better able to maintain maximum strength and endurance throughout the workout session which helps to support new muscle development .* The Kreb’s cycle intermediates metabolize acetyl coenzyme A into citric acid which, in turn, produces tissue fuel. Interactions between the amino acids and the Kreb’s cycle are suggested to play a central role in the energy metabolism of the exercising muscle.* Caffeine works as a metabolic stimulant by releasing fatty acids into the blood stream to be used as energy. *   Ingredients
