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.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) 200 mg by Source Naturals. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential to human life. It plays a role in the electron transport chain, one of the body's energy-producing cycles that converts food into energy. Research indicates that supplementation with CoQ10 may support normal heart function and provide antioxidant protection and maintain the health of the gums.
Pharmaceutical Grade Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) by Jarrow Formulas.Coenzyme Q-10 is an important antioxidant found in high concentration in human heart and liver, kidney, spleen and pancreas tissue. Co-Q10 is part of the cells’ electron transport system.
Co-Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that can decrease the proliferation of free radicals and lighten the load on the immune system. Co-Q10 is not found just within the cells’ organelles, but also is naturally present in the cell membranes.
Another function of Co-Q10 is to make sure the cells’ plasma membrane remain flexible. The fluidity of the membranes is crucial for proper physical performance because membrane fluidity affects membrane receptors, carriers and enzymes.
Jarrow Formulas Co-Q10 is derived from fermentation and consists only of the natural trans configuration, the same as sythesized by humans.
Jarrow Formulas supports clinical research on Coenzyme Q10.
*** The Co-Q10 in these capsules is a vegetarian product of Japan derived from biological fermentation. Pharmaceutical Grade.
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.

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

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!
