Ayur-Guggulipid 
   Add to basketBasket

An antioxidant that protects the heart, helps cholesterol levels and burns fat.



A resinous plant from the arid regions of India, the mukul myrrh (Commiphora mukul) is a thorny tree which secretes a yellowish, resinous substance called gum guggal or guggulu. Purified into a standardized extract, the oleoresin is then referred to as guggulipid. Ayur-guggulipid improves the heart's metabolism and acts as an antioxidant, protecting the heart against free radical attack. It may also help to reduce the stickiness of blood platelets. Studies show that adding guggulipid to the diet not only reduces LDL and VLDL (bad) cholesterol levels, but it raises the HDL (good) cholesterol levels as well.

Adults take 1 capsule 2-4 times daily or as directed.

Beta-Carotene 
   Add to basketBasket

An important antioxidant nutrient that protects healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage.

Beta-carotene is a yellowish compound found in most yellow, orange and dark green vegetables, and converted in the body to Vitamin A. Vitamin A can be toxic but Beta-carotene is not, being a safe precursor of vitamin A. Human intestinal enzymes convert dietary beta-carotene into active vitamin A. 1 mg. of beta-carotene provides 1,667 I.U. of vitamin A activity. Beta-carotene not converted to vitamin A is absorbed intact and has other functions in the body. They protect cells from free radical damage which are unstable chemicals formed in the body during metabolism and from exposure to environmental sources such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals ARE necessary for energy metabolism and immune function, but when an excessive number of free radicals are formed, they can attack healthy cells, especially their membrane lipids and proteins. This, in turn, is thought to contribute to a number of degenerative diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of beta-carotene for normal immune function. The immune benefits are due to its vitamin A precursor role and its antioxidant function. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Cancer Institute recommend an intake of 5mg. (8,335 I.U.) or more of beta-carotene. Unfortunately, most diets provide only 1-2mg. (1,667-3,334 I.U.) per day.

Adults take 1 capsule daily or as directed.

Co-Enzyme Q10 Softgel (100 mg.) 
   Add to basketBasket

Essential nutrient CoQ10 for energy, blood pressure reduction, detoxification and heart and tissue health.

Coenzyme CoQ10 is a valuable, naturally occurring antioxidant necessary for energy production in every cell of the body and is also a component of every living cell. As body levels of CoQ10 drop, so does the general status of health. Low levels can result in high blood pressure, heart attack, angina, immune system depression, periodontal disease, and lack of energy and obesity. University studies have shown that some overweight people have low levels of it and supplementation can help to control body weight. As more energy is required, the more CoQ10 is needed in the diet, especially in the heart and other tissues that require lots of energy. Coenzyme Q10 is also an integral part of the immune cycle. When levels are increased the immune system receives more help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs. However, antibiotics do not help to rebuild the immune system. On the other hand, CoQ10 can naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wide range of beneficial and protective effects. The vitamin-like substance is found primarily in the heart. Like all muscles, the heart needs adequate energy to contract, and CoQ10 facilitates the production of that energy. In people with coronary heart disease, supplementation reduces the frequency of angina episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise that person can perform before developing angina pain. Tissues that need the largest amounts of CoQ10, like the heart, are those that require the most energy. Our internal ability to produce CoQ10 declines with age, and as we get older we must rely more on CoQ10 from our diets. If you want help slowing the aging process, treating an array of diseases and symptoms, increasing endurance and preventing the onset of age-related diseases, get Coenzyme Q10!

Adults take 1-2 softgels daily with meals or as directed.

Grape Seed Extract-V 
   Add to basketBasket
A bioflavonoid-rich, potent extract which is used for fighting free radicals and maintaining capillary health.

Commonly found in grape seeds are polyphenols which are part of a broad class of bioflavonoids. One type of polyphenols are proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins support and enhance the activity of vitamin C and are known for their ability to help support the health of the body's capillary system and connective tissues. They have been shown to bind with collagen fibers, thereby protecting them from premature degradation. This helps maintain the natural elasticity of collagen in skin, joints, arteries, capillaries and other connective tissues so ultimately, grape seed extract may be used to nutritionally enhance capillary strength, vascular function, PMS problems, bruising, retinopathy and varicose veins. While it cannot reverse varicose veins, it will help relieve the pain and prevent further damage.

Adults take 1-2 capsules daily between meals for 7-10 days, then 1 capsule daily or as directed.

Green Tea Extract Max-V 
   Add to basketBasket
A potent antioxidant rich in polyphenols for aiding immune function and vascular health.

Other health benefits may be cancer protection, cholesterol reduction, blood pressure reduction, protection against radiation, reduction of body fat and reduction of blood sugar. Japanese studies showed that green tea inhibited the growth of cancer cells and proved to be useful for individuals with a normal cancer risk, as well as for people with pre-cancerous conditions and for those who have had cancer previously.

Adults take 1-6 capsules once or twice daily between meals or as directed.

Lipoic Acid 
   Add to basketBasket
A water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidant that enhances the action of insulin, helps to normalize blood glucose levels and is important in maintaining eye health.

A vitamin-like substance that may help improve metabolism and nutritionally reduce retinal disease, cataract formation and peripheral nerve and heart damage. It may also aid in the conversion of food into energy, prevent food from being stored as fat, and help the body get rid of toxins. Lipoic Acid is unique among antioxidants because it is both a water-soluble and fat-soluble compound involved in numerous metabolic reactions within the body. Scientists have touted its ability to combat oxidative stress in cataract formation, neurodegeneration and radiation injury. It is also being used as a potential therapeutic agent to treat diseases related to intercellular depletion of glutathione including HIV infection, congestive heart failure and cataracts.  Alpha-Lipoic Acid is especially important for diabetics because it may improve blood glucose by improving insulin action while also inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which contributes to heart disease.

Adults take 1 capsule 1-2 times daily or as directed.

Lutein-Plus 
   Add to basketBasket
May offer 10x the antioxidant protection of vitamin E and it provides special free radical fighting defenses to the eyes.

Lutein is an antioxidant in the carotenoid family. Carotenoids are a class of compounds related to Vitamin A, the best known of which is Beta-Carotene, but there are others as well, like Lutein, Lycopene and Alpha- and Gamma- Carotene. Lutein acts as an antioxidant in the eye, protecting cells in eye tissue from damage caused by sunlight. It may help prevent macular degeneration, a common, age-related cause of vision loss in which the macula (the part of the retina that distinguishes detail in the center of the field of vision) gradually breaks down. A new study, examining how specific carotenoids protect against particular types and stages of colon cancer, has found Lutein to have the greatest protective effect.

Adults take 1 capsule daily or as directed.

Lycopene-Plus 
   Add to basketBasket

A potentially effective antioxidant that is present in selected red-colored fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon and tomato.



Lycopene may help to nutritionally battle prostate cancer and is proven to be a valuable scavenger of free-radicals. Free radicals are unstable chemicals formed in the body during metabolism and from exposure to environmental sources, such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals are not inherently bad, but when there is an excessive number of them in the body, they can attack healthy cells. This, in turn, is thought to contribute to a number of degenerative diseases. Recent studies show that men with the highest levels of lycopene had half the heart attack risk than men with the lowest levels and lycopene may also play a special role in healthy prostate function.

Adults take 1 or 2 tablets daily or as directed.
