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.*

Background: As coenzymes (help enzymes carry out chemical reactions) B-vitamins are essential nutrients involved in most metabolic reactions.  They play an important role in energy production, particularly from the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.  These essential nutrients are also important for the production of healthy cells, hormones, neurotransmitters and other vital biochemicals.  They are needed for healthy nerve, heart, brain, muscle and other important cell/tissue function.  The B-vitamins are water-soluble and therefore, not stored to any significant extent in the body.  This is why we need to ensure adequate intakes of these nutrients on a daily basis.  Due to the excess consumption of refined and processed foods, the average person does not consume optimal amounts of these nutrients.  Our B-Complex-50 and B-Complex-100 provide moderate to high amounts of essential B-Complex vitamins.     Features: Available in B-Complex 50 and B-Complex 100 strengths. B-Complex 50 provides a moderate-potency and B-Complex 100 a high-potency, full spectrum B-vitamin supplement which helps support many different biochemical and physiological processes. B-complex contains USP grade nutrients and, therefore, meets strict standards for purity and potency. Benefits Thiamin, riboflavin and niacin are essential for the production of energy from food. They also help support, nerve and heart function and help the body produce antioxidants.* Vitamin B6 is needed to make neurotransmitters, chemicals that are essential for normal, healthy brain and nervous system function. B6 also helps support the metabolism of amino acids, individual components found in protein foods.* Vitamin B12 and folic acid are both needed to make healthy blood cells, by supporting DNA and RNA metabolism and both help support normal, healthy levels of homocysteine; a recognized cardiovascular “toxin”.* Pantothenic acid is needed to produce energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins, while biotin is essential for the metabolism of fatty acids and glucose and assists in cellular energy production.* Choline is needed to help support the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and serves as an important cofactor in healthy liver detoxification processes.* Inositol serves as a signaling molecule helping to “direct” cellular function while PABA serves as a component of folic acid.*

Acetyl-l-carnitine is a natural compound found in the brain. Unfortunately, as we age levels begin to decline. Acetyl-l-carnitine helps support energy production in the brain and helps support healthy levels of important brain chemicals such as neurotransmitters needed for memory, focus and learning. Acetyl-l-carnitine has a distinct advantage over L-carnitine when it comes to supporting healthy brain function. Acetyl-l-carnitine is able to pass the very selective blood-brain barrier more efficiently than L-carnitine, and therefore play more of a role in brain health.   Features Provides 500 mg of acetyl-l-carnitine per serving. Essential molecule for supporting healthy brain function.† Easy to swallow vegetarian capsule.   Benefits Acetyl-l-carnitine serves as a source of acetyl groups that contribute to the production of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-Co-A is essential to the production of energy within the cell.† Acetyl-l-carnitine can also serve as a source of acetyl groups for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine; a compound involved in virtually all brain functions.† Acetyl-l-carnitine has also been shown to protect nerve cells against free radical damage, support cellular glutathione production, promote healthy CoQ10 levels and offer special protection to healthy brain cells.† Acetyl-l-carnitine helps support and protect the mitochondria-the energy powerhouse of the cell. Without healthy mitochondria, all cells, particularly those of the nervous system, would not function properly leading to cell damage and eventual cell death.† Significant research on acetyl-l-carnitine exists, demonstrating its ability to support cellular energy production, provide antioxidant support helping to protect healthy cells and, most importantly, protect mitochondrial function and support overall cellular metabolism.†   LABEL
