Bromelain is obtained from the lower stems of the pineapple plant. It contains a combination of proteolytic enzymes that have been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response.* It is believed to work by supporting a healthy balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.* Bromelain is also effective at breaking down large proteins (proteolytic activity) that when absorbed intact and travel through the bloodstream may cause an allergic response by the body. Some clinical evidence also demonstrates bromelain’s ability to help support a normal rather than excess production of mucus along the respiratory tract.*   Features:     •New higher potency, 2400 GDU per gram, providing 960 GDU per capsule. •GDU stands for Gelatin Digestion Units. This is one standard measurement for digesting protein. •Research indicates bromelain remains intact (instead of being broken down in the digestive tract) and therefore available for use throughout the body via the bloodstream. •Vegetarian   Benefits: •Proteolytic enzyme (protein digestion) from pineapple.* •Supports a normal, healthy inflammatory response.* •Some studies have shown bromelain helps support a healthy inflammatory response in damaged tissue.* •Bromelain has been shown to help break down potential allergens (proteins) before they are absorbed in the intestinal tract and into the bloodstream, potentially causing an allergic reaction.* •Bromelain has been shown to help support normal platelet aggregation (blood clotting). This can help provide support for the cardiovascular system.*

For several decades, anthocyanoside-rich standardized extracts from bilberry (often standardized at 25%) have been studied for their potential health effects on various vision, microcirculation, and vascular-related conditions.† Bilberry extract reduces capillary fragility reducing vessel overgrowth through its ability to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels.† This appears to be a unique property of bilberry compared to most other anthocyanoside-containing fruit-derived extracts. Studies show that bilberry’s anthocyanins promote human health by fortifying blood vessel walls. This helps improve blood flow to the tiny blood vessels that keep eyes healthy, as well as to larger blood vessels that help maintain optimal circulation throughout the body.† Furthermore, these phytochemicals strengthen collagen, an essential component of the structure of skin, bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues.† Red grape skin extract provides an added supply of anthocyanidins, and along with citrus bioflavonoid complex, helps support the integrity of collagen-containing structures.†   Features European standardized bilberry extract from Euromed, a world leader in European standardized extracts. Standardized to 25% anthocyanidins. Red grape skin extract provides antioxidants and additional anthocyanidins. Citrus Bioflavonoid complex for added support.   Benefits Bilberry has been used in studies to support healthy vision.† Fourteen out of fifteen clinical studies using European standardized bilberry showed positive results for various ocular conditions.† Several studies using European standardized bilberry have shown an improvement in eye health in individuals with elevated blood sugar levels.† Bilberry standardized to 25% anthocyanidins is the strength used in the majority of clinical studies. Citrus bioflavonoids help support the integrity of collagen which comprises the main structural material of blood vessels, cartilage, skin, and other important biological structures.†

Calcium ascorbate is a form of vitamin C that is buffered with calcium. This means that it is less acidic than other forms of vitamin C, such as ascorbic acid, and is therefore gentler on the stomach. Calcium ascorbate is also more stable than other forms of vitamin C, so it is less likely to break down during digestion. Calcium ascorbate is a good source of both calcium and vitamin C. Calcium is important for strong bones and teeth, and vitamin C is important for a healthy immune system, wound healing, and the production of collagen. In addition to its nutritional benefits, calcium ascorbate may also have some other health benefits. For example, some studies have shown that calcium ascorbate may help to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. It may also help to improve blood pressure, blood sugar control, and cognitive function. However, more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits. Overall, calcium ascorbate is a safe and effective way to get your daily dose of calcium and vitamin C. It is a good choice for people who are looking for a gentler form of vitamin C or who want to get the added benefit of calcium. Here are some of the specific benefits of calcium ascorbate: Improves immune function: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to protect cells from damage. It is also essential for the production of white blood cells, which are part of the body's immune system. Calcium ascorbate can help to boost the immune system and fight off infection. Promotes wound healing: Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen, which is a protein that helps to heal wounds. Calcium ascorbate can help to speed up the healing process of cuts, scrapes, and burns. Maintains bone health: Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth. Calcium ascorbate can help to prevent osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle. Reduces the risk of heart disease: Vitamin C has been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Calcium ascorbate may also have these benefits. Lowers blood pressure: Vitamin C has been shown to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. Calcium ascorbate may also have this benefit. Improves blood sugar control: Vitamin C may help to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. Calcium ascorbate may also have this benefit. Protects against cancer: Some studies have shown that vitamin C may help to protect against certain types of cancer, such as lung cancer and colon cancer. Calcium ascorbate may also have these benefits. If you are considering taking calcium ascorbate, talk to your doctor first. They can help you determine if it is right for you and recommend the best dosage.

Triple Source Magnesium Chewable has three sources: Aquamin® (from Pristine Irish Seawater), Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Chelate. 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. Magnesium is an essential nutrient, meaning that your body needs it for healthy functioning. It is found in significant quantities throughout the body and used for numerous purposes, including muscle relaxation, blood clotting, and the manufacture of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the body’s main energy molecule). It has been called nature’s calcium channel blocker. The idea refers to magnesium’s ability to block calcium from entering muscle and heart cells. This may be the basis for some of magnesium’s effects when it is taken as a supplement in fairly high doses.† Features 400 mg Magnesium per serving, 100mg of Magnesium per Chewable tablet (from Aquamin®, magnesium citrate and magnesium chelate) Natural Berry Lemonade Flavor Non GMO and Vegan with Simple and Clean Excipients Contains No dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.   Benefits 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 regulators.† Magnesium increases GABA, which encourages relaxation as well as sleep. Low GABA levels in the body can make it difficult to relax.† Magnesium also plays a key role in regulating the body’s stress-response system. Magnesium deficiency is associated with heightened stress and anxiety.†   LABEL

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” is really a hormone but categorized as a vitamin.  This is because a deficiency is associated with the diseases rickets (bone deformities) in children and osteomalacia (poor bone mineralization leading to weak, painful bones) in adults.  The body is able to synthesize pre-vitamin D3 in the skin when exposed to sunlight.  The pre-vitamin D3 is rapidly converted into vitamin D3.  Vitamin D3 is then transported through the blood to the liver and kidney where it is converted into the hormone calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D. Only a few foods naturally contain vitamin D including: fatty fish and cod liver oil.  Fortified foods such as milk and cereal are the major dietary sources of vitamin D.   It is estimated that 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient, therefore supplementing the diet with extra vitamin D is essential for optimal health.  Numerous factors influence the skin’s synthesis of pre-vitamin D3 including, location, climate, sun exposure, skin color, age and use of sunscreen.  When you combine all of the factors that influence vitamin D synthesis with the existing widespread deficiency, vitamin D supplementation is the most efficient and convenient way to ensure optimal vitamin D intake.*   Features:   Multiple potencies based on individual requirements. Contains vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol), a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D. Sourced from lanolin (vegetarian source of Vitamin D).
