Turmeric & Bromelain by Natural Factors Natural Factors Bromelain and Turmeric capsules help inflammatory conditions and enhance digestion naturally while supporting and protecting the liver. This product helps to enhance health in two ways:
taken between meals it helps to break down soft plaque in the blood vessels, thins the blood, helps with menstrual problems and works as an antiinflammatory for painful joints.
taken with meals it is an excellent digestive aid that helps with bloating, gas and minimizes the feeling of fullness.
Turmeric stimulates digestion, supports the liver, and reduces intestinal permeability. Turmeric's active ingredient is curcumin which helps to check inflammation by inhibiting leukotrienes and thromboxanes. Curcumin is also an antioxidant that helps to stabilize membranes that are damaged by inflammation.
Bromelain, an enzyme isolated from the stem of the pineapple plant, aids in digestion by breaking down protein, and improves the absorption of turmeric.
Bromelain also helps with blood vessel and joint inflammation. Bromelain blocks the body's production of kinins, reducing swelling and promoting healing. Bromelain's most common application is in the treatment of inflammation and soft tissue injuries. It has been shown to speed healing from bruises and hematomas.
Treatment with bromelain following blunt injuries to the musculoskeletal system results in a clean reduction in swelling, pain at rest and during movement, and tenderness.
Administration of bromelain presurgically can reduce the average number of days for complete disappearance of pain and inflammation.

Alpha Lipoic Acid by Natural Factors Alpha lipoic acid is involved in energy production. Lipoic acid works together with vitamin E and vitamin C to protect the entire cell from oxidative stress.As an antioxidant it is a very small molecule that is efficiently absorbed and easily crosses cell membranes. Alpha lipoic acid is both fat and water soluble, so it can quench free radicals both inside and outside the cell. It also directly recycles vitamins C and glutathione and indirectly recycles vitamin E.
Alpha lipoic acid is an approved drug in Germany for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy (nerve disease). Several double-blind studies have shown lipoic acid supplementation (300 to 600 mg daily) does improve diabetic neuropathy. Lipoic acid’s primary effect in improving diabetic neuropathy is thought to be the result of its antioxidant effects. However, it has also been shown to lead to an improvement in blood sugar metabolism, improves blood flow to peripheral nerves, and actually stimulate the regeneration of nerve fibers. Its ability to improve blood sugar metabolism is a result of its effects on glucose metabolism and an ability to increase insulin sensitivity.
Experiments in new born rats shows that alpha lipoic acid may prevent cataract formation.
Although the body does make alpha lipoic acid, supplementation is advised because the body uses the available alpha lipoic acid for metabolic function with very little left over for antioxidant function.
Alpha Lipoic acid is known by a variety of names, including thiotic acid, lipoic acid, and 1,2 dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid, the most commonly used name, being lipoic acid.

CLA Tonalin by Natural Factors The nutritional supplement CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a slightly altered form of the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid. Over 200 studies have shown that CLA may play a very important role not only in weight loss, but in helping to fight cancer, diabetes, and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). In promoting weight loss double-blind studies show an increase in lean muscle mass and a decrease in percentage body fat compared to placebo group. The subjects taking CLA also reported less fatigue, dizziness and nausea than those on the placebo.
Researchers believe that CLA helps block fat cells that are in the body from filling up with fat by interfering with a fat-storing enzyme known as lipoprotein lipase as well as by increasing the sensitivity of cells to the hormone insulin. CLA is also believed to help burn fat by revving up muscle metabolism and helping increase lean muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body uses in order to function, thereby speeding up the fat burning process.
CLA is found naturally occurring in meat and dairy products when the cattle and cows consume a diet rich in grasses. Now that livestock are primarily grain fed, the CLA has virtually disappeared out of dairy products and the meat we consume. As a result, we may be increasing our risk for obesity, heart disease, and even cancer.

Glucosamine / Chondroitin / MSM by Source Naturals. Source Naturals Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex With MSM provides four important building blocks for healthy joints and connective tissues: glucosamine, chondroitin, bioavailable sulfur (MSM), and vitamin C. Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is an essential structural component of glycosaminoglycans, large linear molecules that help to lubricate joints, nourish cartilage and connective tissue, and assist in wound healing. Chondroitin sulfate lends additional structural support via its high degree of interaction with collagen fibers. Bioavailable sulfur (MSM) plays a critical role in the integrity of joints and connective tissues. Vitamin C, essential for the production of collagen, also serves as an effective free radical scavenger to protect cells. Molybdenum aids in complete metabolism of MSM, glucosamine, and chondroitin.

Best Alpha Lipoic Acid 150, Doctor's Best, 120Veg. Caps.
Alpha Lipoic acid (ALA) is a fatty acid that functions like a vitamin, although it is not classified as a vitamin. As a coenzyme, ALA plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose that produces energy in cells. ALA also has antioxidant properties and thus is important for controlling free radicals. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, ALA is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant". Supports the body's defenses against free radicals* Recycles antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C and Vitamin E* Helps maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet
Riboflavin, 400 mg, 30 Tablets - PhytoPharmica. An essential vitamin for the production of energy†. Riboflavin functions in two important enzymes (FMN and FAD) involved in energy production and is necessary in antioxidant enzyme defense mechanisms.†

Products such as chondroitin sulfate, shark cartilage and other cartilage extracts are more difficult to absorb than glucosamine sulfate.
The glucosamine sulfate in doctor-recommended GS-500™ is up to 98% absorbable, which makes it more readily available to the body to support healthy articular cartilage.†
GS-500 is the original glucosamine sulfate product in the United States-the standard by which all the rest are judged.
Garlitrin 4000, 320mg, 100 Enteric Coated Tablets - PhytoPharmicaPLEASE ALLOW TWO WEEKS FOR SHIPPING Garlitrin 4000® fulfills the German Commission E monograph (the world-recognized standard for herbal products) with just one tablet daily. This monograph recommends a daily intake equal to 4,000 mg of fresh garlic as found in Garlitrin 4000.
Other products may claim to be one-per-day; however, by fulfilling the German Commission E monograph with just one tablet, Garlitrin 4000 is clearly the true one-per-day garlic supplement available in the USA.
Alliin, the primary substance of garlic, and alliinase, the activating enzyme, are present in separate chambers of the garlic clove. When garlic is ruptured, alliinase interacts with alliin and converts it to allicin - one of garlic's most beneficial compounds. However, allicin dissipates quickly during standard processing techniques.
Thorough disintegration testing shows that the patented Swiss process actually prevents alliinase from interacting with alliin until the enteric-coated tablet is well inside your small intestine. At that time, Garlitrin 4000 produces a minimum of 5,000 mcg of allicin per tablet-making it by far the most beneficial garlic supplement on the market. This special Swiss process also delivers garlic's benefits with completely garlic-free breath!
