Ultra Guggulow by Doctor's Best supplies a standardized extract of gum guggul resin called Gugulipid® an herb derived from the commiphora mukul tree in India. A number of multicentric clinical trials and a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas have discovered that Guggul extract can help lower cholesterol. Ultra Guggulow contains 25 mg of guggulsterones per 1000 mg of guggul extract. Bioperine® contains 95% piperine extracted from the fruits of black pepper. Several double-blind clinical studies have confirmed that Bioperine® increases absorption of nutrients.
Best Curcumin with Bioperine by Doctor's Best. Best Curcumin w/Bioperine® contains a standardized extract of Curcuma longa root, commonly known as "Turmeric." The active ingredients in Curcuma longa are a group of plant substances called curcuminoids. Known collectively as "curcumin", curcuminoids have demonstrated potent antioxidant properties in scientific studies. Curcuminoids benefit joints and other tissues by helping to neutralize free-radicals.
Curcuma C3 Complex® supplies 95% total curcuminoids, including curcumin, bisdemethoxy curcumin and demethoxy curcumin. Bioperine® is an extract of Black Pepper fruit that contains 95-98% piperine. Bioperine® is added as a natural bioenhancer to promote absorption of the product.
Protects cells and tissues by fighting free radicals.

Criteria included: completeness, potency, bioavailability, cardiac health triad, homocysteine reduction triad, bone health complex, antioxidant triad, glutathione and metabolic support.
High Absorption Magnesium w/Bioperine® contains elemental magnesium chelated with the amino acids glycine and lysine. It is a "di-peptide" chelate, which means that each magnesium atom is chelated with two amino acid molecules. It has a low molecular weight of 324 daltons, which is ideal for optimum absorption. Bioperine® is a patented herbal extract that enhances nutrient absorption.
Supplies 100% Magnesium Glycinate–elemental magnesium chelated with glycine for exceptional absorption. Gentle on the system and very well tolerated, even by those with poor digestive function. Chosen for several university studies on magnesium due to its superior absorbability. Delivers dual benefits - glycine is a valuable amino acid that supports collagen formation and nerve function.
Curcumin 95™ - 500 mg by Jarrow is an 18:1 extract of the antioxidants found in the spice turmeric root. Curcumin 95™ contains 95% curcuminoids (including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxy-curcumin) which are antioxidants.
Turmeric in Latin is Curcuma longa. The roots of the plant are stemlike and are used as an herb in Asian cooking such as curries.Curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a polyphenol natural product of the plant Curcuma longa and a component of the popular Indian curry spice turmeric, may be an anticancer agent.
Researchers at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center studied the possible anticancer mechanisms of curcumin.
The study found that curcumin inhibited growth of rhabdomyosarcoma cells (Rh1 and Rh30) and arrested cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.
Curcumin also induced apoptosis (cell death) and inhibited the basal or type I insulin-like growth factor-induced motility of the cells.
At physiological concentrations, curcumin rapidly inhibited phosphorylation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and its downstream effector molecules in a panel of cell lines.
Curcumin also inhibited phosphorylation of Akt in the cells, but only at high concentrations.
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.
All Natural Factors products are manufactured according to Canadian Health Protection Branch Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), among the highest standards in the world.

P-6, Inositol Hexaphosphate - 90 Capsules-Olympian Labs. Inositol Hexaphosphate Inositol hexaphosphate, Phytate or Phytic Acid, is a sugar molecule attached to six phosphate molecules. It is found throughout nature, in wheat and rice bran, legumes such as soybeans and virtually every kind of mammalian cell. It plays an important role in regulating vital cellular functions, including cell proliferation and differentiation. There has been research on human liver cancer cells that were treated with inositol hexaphosphate and transplanted into mice. They found that inositol hexaphosphate slowed or stopped the growth of liver cancer cells and shrank existing tumors three- to four-fold. Inositol hexaphosphate does not kill cancer cells Đ it tames them and makes them behave like normal cells. Inositol hexaphosphate decreases proliferation of cancer cells and causes them to differentiate, often reverting to the size, shape and structure of normal cells. Research has also shown that inositol hexaphosphate may help to fortify the immune system, prevent kidney stones, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, fight infection, and reduce risks of heart disease. Kelp is added as an additional source of all of the B vitamins, as well as many valuable minerals and trace elements. Research shows that the combination of the B vitamin inositol with inositol hexaphosphate has remarkable health benefits for diabetics and sufferers of sickle cell anemia. Wheatgrass is added to also supply vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Wheatgrass may help to eliminate cancerous growths. The molecular structure of chlorophyll resembles that of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein of red blood cells, which may be the reason for the effectiveness of wheatgrass.
