Carnipure is the purest form of Carnitine and is both heat and pH stable. Ingredients: CarnipureTM *** 1,100 mg ** (L-Carnitine), Pantothenic Acid 10 mg  (as calcium pantothenate) Purified water, glycerin, hydroxy-citric acid,natural flavors, citric acid, and sodium benzoateL-carnitine's role in fat metabolism can be easily summarized: Carnipure turns stored fat into energy.More precisely, L-carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, for subsequent fat breakdown and energy generationAdditional Health BenefitsDue to its fundamental role in energy metabolism, L-carnitine is typically used by the body to support functions that have a high energy demand. In this sense, L-carnitine supplementation plays a role in heart health, male fertility, healthy aging, as well as for infants, pregnant women, and vegetarians.Carnipure: EnergyCarnipure L-Carnitine is the nutrient needed to help support the conversion of fat into metabolic energy. Studies suggest Carnipure L-Carnitine can be used to sustain energy, as its main metabolic function is to transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation.   Our Research Reviews In the latest study, the scientists measured levels of LAC (acetyl-L-carnitine) in blood samples taken from people diagnosed with MDD. They found that levels were significantly decreased in these patients, as compared to age-matched individuals without depression. Additional analysis revealed that patients with very low LAC exhibited more severe depression and were more likely to develop MDD early in life. Finally, the researchers found that decreased LAC was associated with having a history of childhood trauma and treatment-resistant depression, particularly in women. #acetyllcarnitine #depression #supplement Carla Nasca, Benedetta Bigio, Francis S. Lee, Sarah P. Young, Marin M. Kautz, Ashly Albright, James Beasley, David S. Millington, Aleksander A. Mathé, James H. Kocsis, James W. Murrough, Bruce S. McEwen, Natalie Rasgon. Acetyl-l-carnitine deficiency in patients with major depressive disorder. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018; 201801609 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1801609115   How does L-carnitine maintain the normal structure of sciatic nerve in crush injury? - Several studies have demonstrated that L-carnitine exhibits neuroprotective effects on injured sciatic nerve of rats with diabetes mellitus. Dr. Ümmü Zeynep Avsar, Faculty of Medicine, Ataturk University, Turkey and his team proposed a hypothesis that L-carnitine exhibits neuroprotective effects on injured sciatic nerve of rats. Rat sciatic nerve was crush injured by a forceps and exhibited degenerative changes. After intragastric administration of 50 and 100 mg/kg L-carnitine for 30 days, axon area, myelin sheath area, axon diameter, myelin sheath diameter, and numerical density of the myelinated axons of injured sciatic nerve were similar to normal, and the function of injured sciatic nerve also improved significantly. These findings suggest that L-carnitine exhibits neuroprotective effects on sciatic nerve crush injury in rats. This paper was published in Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 9, No. 10, 2014).

GABA (γ-amino butyric acid) is naturally occurring amino acid in our brain. It is one of the major inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and has been found in several peripheral tissues. It is critical for the normal healthy function of the central nervous system (CNS). GABA levels drop when a person is subjected to stressful conditions. Therefore, supplementation with a safe, clinically proven form of GABA, such as PharmaGABA®, may be beneficial in reestablishing ideal GABA levels. GABA exists naturally in various foods, especially in fermented food products. PharmaGABA® is a natural form of GABA produced with the help of Lactobacillus hilgardii – a beneficial lactic acid bacteria used in the making of the traditional Korean vegetable dish known as kimchi. Clinical studies suggest that PharmaGABA® plays a critical role in helping with daily stress and mood, supporting improved relaxation and calmness, and aiding concentration and mental alertness.† Features 200 mg of PharmaGABA® in each chewable tablet Great Natural Tropical Flavor Contains No sugar, salt, dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors Gluten Free, Non GMO and Vegan Benefits PharmaGABA® has exhibited its helpful effect for people to cope with the stress caused in daily activities or stressful situations. A recent human clinical study using PharmaGABA® has shown a statistically significant reduction of the perceived stress level by more than half.† PharmaGABA® may help fight even extreme stress. One particular study showed PharmaGABA® assisted those with a fear of heights to traverse the highest and longest suspension bridge in Japan. The study also showed that PharmaGABA® prevented stress-induced the immune system weakening.† PharmaGABA® appears to increase the production of alpha brain waves while reducing beta brain waves leading to improved feelings of calmness, but with greater mental clarity and focus.† In a recent GABA’s sleep aid clinical study, PharmaGABA® has shortened sleep latency, the time that takes a person to fall asleep and extended Non-Rem sleep time, the deepest stage of sleep. The increased Non-Rem sleep followed by an ideal sleeping rhythm through PharmaGABA® results in the natural deep-sleep healing process.† There’s another study that suggests PharmaGABA®, when combined with Exercise and Whey Protein, may actually enhance the growth of lean muscle mass.†   LABEL

Vitamin B12 is a member of the B-complex family of water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin B12 has numerous functions in the body including, stimulating red blood cell production, support of healthy nerve function, and the metabolism of homocysteine.† Low levels of vitamin B12 are often seen in vegetarians, as plant foods lack vitamin B12, and also in elderly people as their ability to absorb B12 from food is limited. The absorption of B12 requires a protein called intrinsic factor which is secreted by cells in the stomach. Elderly people secrete less intrinsic factors and therefore absorb less vitamin B12.    Features Contains 500mcg of B12 as cyanocobalamin. Certified Vegan   Benefits Vitamin B12 as cyanocobalamin is converted in the body to the active coenzyme forms methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin.† B12 converts homocysteine to methionine, supporting healthy blood homocysteine levels.† B12 helps donate a methyl group to form SAMe (s-adenosylmethionine) which helps support healthy brain function and liver detoxification.† B12 is essential for the production of normal, healthy myelin; the fatty layer of insulation that protects the nervous system and supports its function.† B12, along with Biotin, helps support fatty acid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism.† Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are required for healthy red blood cell production via normal DNA synthesis. Red blood cells are essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body.† Vitamin B-12 deficiency generally increases with age because of decreased levels of intrinsic factor a protein normally produced by the stomach and which aids in B12 absorption.† Ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and the elderly who are at greater risk for vitamin B-12 deficiency.†

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. Rosehips, in addition to being an excellent source of vitamin C, contain a wide range of beneficial phytochemicals including polyphenols such as anthocyanins as well as beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein. These biologically-active compounds provide a synergistic effect, helping to provide structural and functional support to major body systems including the cardiovascular, immune, and neurological systems.†   Features High-potency vitamin C, also available as 500mg C-1000mg is available in both a regular and sustained release tablet. Offers the synergistic benefits of naturally-occurring compounds found in rose hips. 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, 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.†   LABEL

Tasteless, Safe & Pure. Our Colloidal Silver offers 10 PPM, with purified and distilled water as the only excipient The Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans used silver to support immune function. These ancient cultures learned that silver possessed powerful anti-microbial effects. Phoenicians stored water, wine, and vinegar in silver bottles to prevent spoiling. Hippocrates, the “father of medicine”, wrote that silver had beneficial healing and anti-disease properties, and he praised silver for its tissue repair and wound healing abilities. In the Middle Ages, silver spoons were given by wealthy godparents to babies as baptismal presents, believing that those “born with a silver spoon in their mouths” survived illness and the plague due to silver’s cleansing properties. Silver was one of the few antimicrobial treatments available before the discovery of antibiotic drugs. By the 1930s, Colloidal silver was the preferred choice of physicians for empowering the immune system and supporting the body’s innate healing process. In the mid-1960s, NASA developed a lightweight generator to dispense silver ions into the drinking water aboard Apollo spacecraft to kill bacteria, and in 2015, they approved the use of a silver-based water purification system aboard the International Space Station. Today, silver is experiencing a renaissance as consumers seek out more natural ways to support their health and well-being. Features Tasteless, Safe & Pure. Only Excipient: Purified and Distilled Water. Made in the USA. Free of major food allergens: Contains NO: sugar, dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, corn, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors, or flavors. Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, and VEGAN.
