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

Vitamin D3+K2 (2,500IU+45mcg)-60 Vcaps-MenaquinGold™ (MK-7)
Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” is a hormone that is typically categorized as a vitamin. 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. Vitamin K is found in two primary forms: Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and Vitamin K2 (menaquinone). The main difference between these forms is that K2 as menaquinone 7 is absorbed at a much higher rate than K1 and remains in the body 36 times longer (allowing it to move beyond the liver into other tissues); whereas K1 is primarily utilized by the liver to make blood clotting factors. In addition to other roles, Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) is essential for healthy, strong bones and for supporting arterial health.* Both Vitamin D3+K2 are formulated together in a synergistic formula to help support cardiovascular health, provide bone structure support, help support normal & healthy Calcium Levels.* Features: Contains vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol), a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D. Sourced from lanolin (vegetarian source of Vitamin D). Menaquinone-7 is the most efficacious form of Vitamin K for bone and cardio health. Menaquinone-7 is made from an all-natural food source (fermented soy). 2,500IU Vitamin D3 & 45mcg Vitamin K2 per Vegetarian Capsule Benefits: Vitamin D3 & K2 both stimulate the synthesis of osteocalcin, an important protein involved in bone formation.* Osteocalcin helps to build new bone matrix by aiding the binding of calcium. Vitamin D3 & K2 both synergistically help maintain adequate blood calcium levels which help support cellular metabolic processes, cardiovascular and neuromuscular/neurological function.* Supports the integrity of arterial walls through the regulation of calcium in the body.* Help support the health and elasticity of arterial walls.*

Coenzymated B-Complex High Potency One Daily
Optimizing B-Vitamin Utilization with Alchepharma's Coenzymated B-Complex: A Potential Intervention for Enhanced Energy and Wellbeing Introduction: B vitamins are essential micronutrients involved in diverse biological processes, impacting energy production, neurological function, and general well-being. However, individual variations in absorption and conversion can limit their effectiveness. Here, we explore the scientific rationale behind Alchepharma's Coenzymated B-Complex, a novel formulation designed to overcome these limitations and deliver optimal B-vitamin benefits. Challenges with Traditional B Vitamins: Traditional B vitamins require metabolic conversion before active utilization. This process can be hindered by genetic factors, particularly MTHFR polymorphisms, affecting approximately 30% of the population. Additionally, age-related declines in intrinsic factor can further compromise B12 absorption. The Advantage of Methylated B Vitamins: Alchepharma's Coenzymated B-Complex leverages fully methylated B vitamins, bypassing the conversion step for significantly faster and more complete absorption. This approach holds particular promise for individuals with MTHFR variations or compromised absorption. Beyond Essential B Vitamins: This formula transcends a basic B-complex by incorporating synergistic nutrients like Choline, Inositol, PABA, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Choline and Inositol contribute to neurotransmitter synthesis and membrane health, while PABA supports folate metabolism. Alpha Lipoic Acid, a potent antioxidant, enhances B-vitamin activity and offers additional cellular protection. Scientific Support for Methylated B Vitamins: Growing evidence suggests numerous benefits associated with methylated B vitamins, including: Improved energy levels and reduced fatigue: Studies demonstrate enhanced cellular energy production and metabolic efficiency upon B-vitamin supplementation. Enhanced cognitive function and memory: B vitamins play crucial roles in neurotransmitter synthesis and neuronal signaling, potentially improving cognitive performance and memory consolidation. Elevated mood and reduced stress: B vitamins support the production of mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, potentially contributing to emotional well-being and stress management. Support for healthy homocysteine levels: Elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. B vitamins, particularly B12 and folate, play a critical role in homocysteine metabolism, offering potential cardiovascular benefits. Potential benefits for nerve function: B vitamins are essential for maintaining healthy nerve sheaths and supporting nerve signal transmission. Studies suggest potential benefits for neuropathy and nerve health maintenance. Quality and Safety: Alchepharma's Coenzymated B-Complex adheres to rigorous quality standards, being vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and free of artificial ingredients. Furthermore, it is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility, ensuring safety and consistent quality. Conclusion: Alchepharma's Coenzymated B-Complex offers a scientifically founded approach to B-vitamin supplementation, incorporating methylated forms for enhanced absorption and additional synergistic nutrients for comprehensive support. While individual needs may vary, this formula holds promise for individuals seeking to optimize their energy levels, cognitive function, and overall well-being, particularly those with MTHFR polymorphisms or compromised B-vitamin absorption.

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. Ingredients KollaGen-IIxs™ KollaGen II-xs™ is the result of more than a quarter of a Century of Collagen food supplement research.

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.*
