OUR STORY

Nutritional supplement usage is commonplace, with millions of people taking one every day. Yet, back in 1955, when the Douglas Laboratories story began, supplements were not part of the mainstream. Sam Lioon, company founder, was a nutritional pioneer. He saw an opportunity to help individuals improve their health, and began selling nutritional supplements directly to healthcare professionals. From that humble beginning, Douglas Laboratories has grown into a globally recognized leader in the development and manufacturing of innovative, science-based nutritional supplements, designed to help healthcare practitioners who are focused on the healthy aging and active lifestyles of their clients.

Prenatal

Prenatal provides a variety of essential vitamins and minerals to ensure adequate intake for both mother and child . This balanced prenatal formula is provided in easy to swallow vegetarian capsules and promotes maternal and fetal health during pregnancy and lactation . Prenatal contains Metafolin®, a patented and natural form of L-methylfolate (5- MTHF) . L-methylfolate is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells . It is essential for a developing fetus, and helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy . Unlike synthetic folic acid, L-methylfolate can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional enzymatic conversion . In certain populations, the body’s ability to enzymatically convert folic acid to 5-MTHF may be compromised due to genetic differences . Metafolin® contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and is the only form of folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier . Prenatal also contains important vitamins and minerals that help support energy production, antioxidant defence, skin and healthy glucose metabolism, as well as immune, muscle and thyroid gland function .

Indications • Helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily

at least three months prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy

FOUNDATION MULTIVITAMINS

Douglas Laboratories’ award-winning Ultra Preventive® X is a comprehensive multivitamin and mineral formula that has repeatedly received the NutriSearch GOLD Medal of Achievement™ by NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements™*. In addition to

providing a balanced source of well-absorbed vitamins and minerals, this formula offers unique ingredients, including a blend of organic fruits and vegetables, and Metafolin®, a patented form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). Unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in food and in our bodies’ cells.* (By the independent NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements™ .

Over 500 nutritional products from hundreds of manufacturers tested .)

Ultra Preventive® X

Ultra Preventive® X provides next-generation essential nutrition in a phytonutrient-rich organic fruit and vegetable base .

Ultra Preventive® X now provides Metafolin®, a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as well as 500 IU of vitamin D3 and 125 mcg of methylcobalamin per day . 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells . It is essential for overall health as it participates as a cofactor in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine . Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for additional enzymatic conversion . In certain populations, the body’s ability to enzymatically convert folic acid to 5-MTHF may be compromised due to genetic differences . Additional vitamin D3 and methylcobalamin (the active form of vitamin B12) have been added to this formula to help maintain bone health and support energy production .

Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins are also included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in immune function, antioxidant protection, the maintenance of healthy blood cells, and more . Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms .

Ultra Preventive® X has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other ingredients . Each component is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients and allergenic potential .

Indications • Optimize vitamin, mineral and trace element intake with a green

food base

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 4 tablets daily with meals providing protein, a few hours before or after taking other medications .

OMEGA FATTY ACIDS FOUNDATION

OMEGA FATTY ACIDSDEPA

A rich source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DEPA contains a marine lipid concentrate that has been processed by molecular distillation . DEPA is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids providing 180 mg of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 120 mg of Docosahexaenoic acid (DPA) per capsule .

Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in flax and fish oils, have been displaced in the diet by a far greater intake of omega-6 fatty acids found in polyunsaturated oil . Supplementing with omega-3s helps to restore the essential fatty acid balance .

Omega-3 essential fatty acids have been shown to have a powerful impact on health . In particular, the omega-3s found in DEPA, such as DHA, help to support brain health . DHA plays a vital role in brain health, as it is an important structural component of neuronal cell membranes . DHA is also important for the proper development and neurotransmission processes in the brain while acting as a neuroprotector .

Indications • Cognitive/brain health support

EPA/GLA Forte

EPA/GLA Forte contains marine lipid concentrate and borage seed oil processed by molecular distillation in a softgel capsule . EPA/GLA Forte is unique in that it provides both an omega-3 fatty acid, in the form of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and an omega-6 fatty acid from linolenic acid (GLA) . Most biological functions are somehow interconnected with the delicate balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids . Omega-3 fatty acids help support cardiovascular and cognitive health while omega-6 fatty acids maintain overall health . The borage oil included in the formulation of EPA/GLA Forte also contributes omega-6 fatty acids . The typical western diet contains a high amount of omega-6 fatty acids and often does not provide sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids the body requires . EPA/GLA provides a high ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s to correct this imbalance while still incorporating the benefits of both of these essential fats .

Indications • A factor in the maintenance of good health • Support cardiovascular health • Support cognitive function

FOUNDATION OMEGA FATTY ACIDS

Flax Seed Oil Capsules

Flax Seed Oil Capsules provide a natural source of the essential omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), as well as significant amounts of oleic acid and linoleic acid, the essential omega-6 fatty acid . The cold press extraction processing of the flax oil avoids the damaging effects of heat, light, and oxygen . Accordingly, the oil retains the original content of components as found in its natural state .

Typical diets in developed countries deliver large amounts of saturated and omega-6 fatty acids, including linoleic and arachidonic acids, while providing low levels of omega-3 fatty acids . However, a healthy balance of dietary omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is a prerequisite for maintaining good health . The function and appearance of the skin greatly depends on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for protection against environmental factors . Studies show that decreased levels of these fatty acids can impair the function of skin cells, leading to the loss of electrolytes and water . Consumption of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids can alter the fatty acid and eicosanoid content of skin . ALA provides a natural counterbalance to arachidonic acid because it is metabolized to the long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) . These fatty acids serve as precursors for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3 and decrease the formation of prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2 .

Flax seed oil is nature’s richest source of ALA and provides an alternative to fish oil supplements to obtain the essential omega-3 fatty acid .

Indications • Optimize intake of a plant source of omega-3 fatty acids

Opti-DHA™ Enteric-Coated

Opti-DHA™ Enteric-Coated softgels contain a novel ratio of essential omega-3 fatty acids, derived from the highest potency marine lipid concentrate . Processed by extensive molecular distillation to ensure the purest product possible, Opti-DHA™ is an excellent source of fatty acids, providing 450 mg of docosahexeanoic acid (DHA) and 150 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) per 2 softgels . Opti-DHA™ is enteric-coated, significantly reducing the “fishy” taste sometimes associated with marine lipid supplements .

DHA is of primary importance for the structural integrity of neuronal membranes . As the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, adequate amounts of DHA are needed throughout adulthood for ongoing optimal function . Omega-3 fatty acids are also essential to the normal brain development of the newborn, especially during the last three months of pregnancy when brain development increases threefold . Low levels of DHA may adversely influence mental performance, and have been correlated with the loss of memory and attention span .

Studies have shown that DHA, along with EPA, plays an important role in cardiovascular health . This may be related to the ability of fish oil to support the body’s normal inflammatory processes and cardiac health . Studies indicate that EPA and DHA act as precursors for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3, and decrease the formation of pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2 . Scientists have also suggested that omega-3 fatty acids can have a direct cardiac effect by supporting healthy heart rhythms .

Indications • Cardiovascular health • Cognitive/neurological support

OMEGA FATTY ACIDS FOUNDATION

Opti-EPA™

Opti-EPA™ is a very high potency marine lipid concentrate that provides twice the amount of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA per softgel than other fatty acid supplements . Opti-EPA™ is strictly screened for toxic metals and chemicals, completely free of cholesterol, and carefully processed and handled to avoid oxidation .

One landmark study, the GISSI-Prevenzione Trial, showed supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids (in a ratio of DHA to EPA of approximately 2:1) significantly maintained cardiovascular function in adults . The exact reasons for this benefit may be related to the ability of fish oil to lower LDL and triglycerides, inhibit excessive platelet aggregation and reduce fibrinogen levels . Omega-3 fatty acids also support the body’s normal inflammatory processes and cardiac health . Studies indicate that EPA and DHA act as precursors for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3, and decrease the formation of pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2 . Scientists have also suggested that omega-3 fatty acids can have a direct cardiac effect - they may be able to modify sodium channels by binding to channel proteins, which could support healthy heart rhythms .

Brain function is also positively affected by omega-3 supplementation . DHA has been known to affect the central nervous system and may be involved in synaptic signal transduction . Adequate amounts of DHA are needed throughout adulthood for ongoing optimal function . Omega-3 fatty acids are also essential to the normal brain development of the newborn, especially during the last three months of pregnancy when brain development increases threefold .

Typical diets in developed countries deliver large amounts of saturated and polyunsaturated omega-6 acids, while providing low levels of omega-3 fatty acids . A healthy balance of dietary omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids appears necessary for the maintenance of good health . Unlike dietary omega-6 fatty acids, EPA and DHA serve as precursors for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3, and decrease the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines .

In addition to decreasing arthritic symptoms, the ability of fish oil to support the body’s normal inflammatory processes plays an important role in cardiovascular health . Omega-3 fatty acids also promote cardiovascular function by lowering LDL and triglycerides, inhibiting excessive platelet aggregation, reducing fibrinogen levels and supporting healthy heart rhythms .

Brain function is also positively affected by omega-3 supplementation . As the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, adequate amounts of DHA are needed throughout adulthood for ongoing optimal function . Omega-3 fatty acids are also essential to the normal brain development of the newborn, especially during the last three months of pregnancy when brain development increases threefold .

Prim RoyalPrim Royal provides unrefined, cold pressed evening primrose oil - a valuable source of the omega-6 fatty acids linoleic acid (LA) and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) . LA and GLA play an important role in maintaining skin health, and low intakes of these omega-6 fatty acids may contribute to moisture loss in the skin . GLA is also a natural counterbalance to certain fatty acids used for the synthesis of inflammatory compounds, including the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid .

Diets in developed countries are often rich in animal products, which deliver large amounts of saturated fatty acids and arachidonic acid . Intakes of LA can also be low in people who do not regularly consume vegetable oils in their diets . Evening primrose oil is recognized as an excellent source of both LA and GLA . Therefore, regular supplementation with evening primrose oil may be beneficial for people consuming diets high in animal foods and low in unprocessed vegetable oils .

Indications • Optimize intake of LA and GLA from a natural plant source

QÜELL Fish Oil®

Douglas Laboratories offers QÜELL, a suite of ultra-pure supercritical CO2 extracted omega-3 fish oils that provide a concentrated triglyceride form of EPA and DHA in a fish gelatin capsule. A growing body of scientific evidence supports the triglyceride (or re-esterified triglyceride) form of these fatty acids as exhibiting greater absorption (compared to the ethyl ester form), significantly increasing the index of EPA and DHA in the blood. Supercritical CO2 extraction technology ensures that omega-3 fatty acids are extracted without high temperatures, oxygen or traditional chemical solvents, yielding oil that is protected from oxidation, microbiological contamination, solvent residues and isomer formation.

QÜELL Fish Oil® EPA/DHA Plus D provides a bioavailable triglyceride form of fish oil with added vitamin D . The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids continue to emerge, and numerous health organizations worldwide recommend adequate daily intake of EPA and DHA . Data continues to accumulate that supports EPA and DHA in cardiovascular health as well as many other areas, including neurological and vision health .

Omega-3 fatty acids help support cardiovascular health by decreasing serum triglycerides, promoting endothelial cell function and maintaining platelet activity . EPA is also the direct precursor for prostaglandins, which are involved in maintaining the body’s normal inflammatory processes . DHA plays a major role in the structural integrity of neuronal membranes and is essential for neurological and visual development . DHA is vital throughout pregnancy to support fetal brain growth and the formation of the retina and visual cortex . As the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, adequate amounts of DHA are also needed throughout adulthood for ongoing optimal function .

Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that plays many important roles in the proper functioning of the body . It is especially critical in maintaining bone health as it mediates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus . Vitamin D is fat-soluble, meaning it needs a fat source to be absorbed properly . Therefore, combining vitamin D with omega-3 fatty acids may help facilitate adequate vitamin D absorption into the body .

FOUNDATION ANTIOXIDANTS

Quercetin-Bromelain Complex

Quercetin-Bromelain Complex is a unique formulation of quercetin, buffered vitamin C and bromelain that supports antioxidant activity and protects blood vessels . Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that has excellent antioxidant activity . Magnesium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, which synergistically supports quercetin activity . Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme purified from pineapple, which is stable at the acidic pH found in the stomach .

Quercetin has a strong antioxidant activity that acts in several ways . First, quercetin prevents the oxidation of lipids . The gastrointestinal tract has an increased exposure to oxidative stress, due in part to the lowered pH . It is important to protect the lipid bilayer of cells in the gastrointestinal tract because they serve as an important part of the body’s immune system . Secondly, quercetin prevents the depletion of the key antioxidant glutathione from cells in the intestinal tract . By preserving the level of glutathione, quercetin protects the metabolic activity and cellular structure of these highly vulnerable cells . Thirdly, quercetin decreases free radical formation in endothelial cells, thus protecting them from oxidative damage . Quercetin also mediates the release of nitric oxide and endothelin-1 (endogenous regulators of blood pressure) from endothelial cells, therefore providing vascular protection .

Vitamin C scavenges many potentially damaging free radicals and improves the ability of quercetin to preserve glutathione levels .

Bromelain is a supportive nutrient that assists in the breakdown of large macromolecular protein complexes . This reduces the chance that these complexes will leave the stomach untouched or in large fractions, and helps in their absorption .

Indications • Antioxidant support • Blood vessel protectant • Digestive support for foods that contain protein

Ultra A-O (Formerly Ultra Anti-Oxidant)

Ultra A-O is a potent antioxidant supplement that includes vitamins and other nutrients that effectively participate in our body’s antioxidant defence systems . This is beneficial as the uncontrolled production of free radicals is thought to be a major contributing factor to many degenerative pathologies .

Vitamin E is recognized as the body’s most valuable fat soluble antioxidant . It prevents the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by inactivating free radicals, thus stabilizing and protecting cell membranes .

Vitamin C is a potent water-soluble antioxidant nutrient that is also essential for bone metabolism and immune function . When neutralizing free radicals inactivates vitamin E, vitamin C regenerates it back to full activity .

Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide and a major component of two anti-free radical enzymes – glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase . As such, glutathione scavenges toxic free radicals and inhibits peroxidation thereby slowing down free-radical catalyzed chain reactions . Glutathione can also reactivate (reduce) oxidized vitamin C and is dependent on selenium and B vitamins for its effectiveness . Similarly, zinc maintains the activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase .

N-acety-L-Cysteine is a precursor for the sulfur amino acid cysteine, which is used by cells to synthesize glutathione . Supplementation with N-acety-L-Cysteine is recognized as a safe and highly effective method of increasing intracellular glutathione stores .

Indications • Antioxidant protection

FOUNDATION BLADDER SUPPORT

BLADDER SUPPORTCran-Max™

Cran-Max™ capsules contain 500 mg of 100% whole cranberry fruit concentrated extract . Cran-Max™ is derived using a unique extraction process, which allows for a higher concentration of all of the active nutrients in cranberries compared to other cranberry supplements . Juice from whole, organic cranberries is extracted from the fruit, concentrated, and infused back into the pure cranberry fibre of the original berry . This unique process provides an exceptionally nutrient-dense cranberry concentrate, which contains all of the bioactive ingredients of the whole fruit .

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to prevent infections of the urinary tract . Approximately 30% of women will experience a urinary tract infection in her lifetime, many of which can be reoccurring . Research demonstrates that cranberry interferes with the attachment of bacteria to the uroepithelial cells in the urinary tract causing a reduction in infection recurrence . Additionally, cranberry is believed to inhibit biofilm formation of the bacteria in the urinary tract . Although the exact mechanism is unknown, the beneficial effects of cranberry on the urinary tract are attributed to the high concentration of proanthocyanidins in the fruit .

Indications • Helps to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections • Antioxidant support

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1-2 capsules daily with water, or as otherwise directed by your healthcare practitioner . Use for a minimum of 4 weeks to see beneficial effects .

d-Mannose

d-Mannose is a simple sugar found naturally in fruits such as cranberries and pineapples . It is absorbed slowly from the gastrointestinal tract and unlike many sugars, it is not converted into glycogen or stored in the liver . Much of the d-Mannose consumed is filtered by the kidneys and delivered to the bladder, where it is excreted in the urine . Daily supplementation with d-Mannose is a great alternative to drinking cranberry juice as cranberry juice frequently contains high levels of fructose and is not often standardized to d-Mannose concentrations .

Suggested Usage: To be used on the advice of a healthcare practitioner . Adults: Take 1 scoop three times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .

FOUNDATION DETOX/LIVER SUPPORT

LVDTX

LVDTX is a comprehensive blend of synergistic nutrients that support the health of the liver, an organ involved in detoxifying the blood, metabolizing fat and storing vitamins .

Choline acts as an important methyl donor in numerous metabolic reactions . It is considered an essential nutrient needed for cell membrane integrity and to facilitate the movement of fats into and out of cells . Choline is also a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is required for normal brain function . Choline is available as choline bitartrate (a soluble salt) or as phosphatidyl-choline in lecithin .

Inositol has similar properties to choline in its lipotropic effect and is found in most cell membranes .

Methionine is critical for hepatic intracellular concentrations of glutathione . Glutathione and other sulfhydryl peptides are essential in the detoxification of xenobiotic substances and in converting lipid soluble toxic agents to water soluble material for easy excretion via the kidneys .

Betaine not only protects the liver from damage due to excess homocysteine, it also generates adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is the universal methyl donor .

Turmeric contains curcumin, a naturally occurring biologically active group of compounds . Studies have shown that curcumin can function as efficient antioxidants and can help regulate the body’s normal response to inflammatory processes . Turmeric, along with dandelion, milk thistle and artichoke, is traditionally used in herbal medicine .

Indications • Supports liver function

IMMUNE SUPPORTImmunity new product[ Formulated by Dr. Julie Chen, M.D. ]†

Immunity provides powerful immune-supportive ingredients, such as the well-tolerated and absorbed Ester-C®, vitamin D3, zinc, and a unique blend of phytonutrients . This formula is to be taken at the very first sign of a cold; it may also be taken preventatively .

Immune cells are necessary to activate vitamin D, which is an important mechanism for regulating maturation and promoting immune responses in cells . Therefore, immunity may be compromised under conditions of vitamin D insufficiency .

Zinc directly affects immune function and even a mild zinc deficiency suppresses immunity . Zinc stimulates phagocytosis, activates T-cell function and influences Th1 cytokines, which defend against intracellular pathogens .

The major role of vitamin C is to protect immune cells against free radical damage . Vitamin C concentrations in the plasma and leukocytes rapidly decline during acute illness and stress . Ester-C® is a unique, patented form of vitamin C that is non-acidic and should be well-tolerated by those sensitive to the acidic nature of ascorbic acid .

Andrographis, a shrub that is sometimes called “Indian Echinacea,” helps reduce the symptoms of the common cold and upper respiratory tract infections . Used since ancient times in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Astragalus is mostly known for its immune-stimulating properties and antioxidant activity .

Indications • Useful for reducing symptoms of the common cold and maintaining a healthy immune system .

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 2 capsules 2 times daily or as directed by a healthcare practitioner . Take with food a few hours before or after taking other medications .

IMMUNE SUPPORT FOUNDATION

Xtra-Cell® Comitris™ (Frozen)

Xtra-Cell® Comitris™ (Frozen) is an innovative frozen marine liquid cartilage extract (LCE) containing bioavailable water-soluble signaling factors designed to help maintain healthy angiogenic balance . Comitris also contains vitamin B12 help to support red blood cell count .

Angiogenesis is a natural and complex process by which new blood vessels are formed and grow to supply oxygen and nutrients to cells . Angiogenesis is regulated at the cellular level by a balance between pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors; disturbances in this balance can affect the health of a tissue . Angiogenic balance can be altered by an imbalance in the activity of a family of zinc-dependent enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) . Specifically, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-12 (also known as gelatinase A, gelatinase B and metalloelastase, respectively) are involved in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix and vascular basement membranes . LCE may help to maintain the structure and function of the extracellular matrix as well as blood vessels and tissues by supporting proper MMP activity . LCE has also been shown to maintain healthy levels of IL-1 and TNF-a, which promote the expression of MMPs . Thus, LCE can support healthy angiogenic balance and promote normal inflammatory mechanisms .

Indications • Healthy Angiogenic Balance • Energy production

Xtra-Cell® Thymus™ (Frozen)

Xtra-Cell® Thymus™ (Frozen) is a frozen liquid extract that supports healthy immune function . It consists of zinc, plus a broad range of thymic peptides obtained from an aqueous extract of porcine thymus tissue .

The thymus is a lymphoid organ located below the neck . It decreases in size as people age in a process called thymic involution, which begins after the first year of life . The thymus functions by releasing certain thymic factors that affect its own regulation as well as the functions of other cells throughout the body . These thymic factors (including thymosins, thymopoietin, thymic factor X, and serum thymic factor) tend to reach their peak at puberty and decline with age .

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways . Numerous studies support the fundamental role of zinc in promoting normal immune responses in humans . Immune cells must be able to rapidly divide in order to respond to daily challenges, and they depend on adequate amounts of dietary zinc to promote their development . Research demonstrates that zinc stimulates cell division in lymphocytes and increases their phagocytic activity . Zinc is especially necessary for T cell proliferation in the thymus as a cofactor for thymulin, a hormone involved in T cell differentiation and function . Research has found that zinc deficiency, which can result in thymic atrophy, is associated with decreased immune health .

CHILDREN’S HEALTH FOUNDATION

CHILDREN’S HEALTHVita-Kids™ Immune

Vita-Kids™ Immune provides important immune supportive nutrients for children in a great-tasting, natural grape-flavoured liquid .

Free radicals are unstable compounds 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 affect a number of body processes, including optimal functioning of the immune system . Elderberry and blueberry extracts provide anthocyanins, important antioxidants that protect healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage .

Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of beta-carotene for normal immune function . The immune benefits of beta-carotene are due to its role as a precursor to vitamin A, which stimulates the production of immune cells . Zinc is an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways . Numerous studies also support the fundamental role of zinc in promoting normal immune responses in humans . Immune cells must be able to rapidly divide in order to respond to daily challenges, and they depend on adequate amounts of dietary zinc to promote their development . Healthy immune function can also be maintained by supporting a well balanced production of cytokines . However, low levels of zinc lead to decreased immune responses, including the production of fewer cytokines that target intracellular bacteria .

Choles-Sterol® (Formerly Cardio Edge®)

Choles-Sterol® is a unique scientifically-based cholesterol support formula with Sytrinol™, plant sterols and pomegranate extract .

Sytrinol™ provides a patented and well-researched combination of flavonoids derived from the peel of tangerines and tocotrienols from palm fruits . The flavonoids in Sytrinol™ have been shown to decrease apolipoprotein B, the structural protein needed for the synthesis of LDL-cholesterol, as well as diacylglycerol acetyl transferase, an enzyme in the liver involved in the synthesis of triglycerides . Tocotrienols, a group of compounds belonging to the vitamin E family, have been shown to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the hepatic enzyme responsible for the rate limiting step in cholesterol synthesis . Similarly, the brightly coloured pomegranate fruit contains numerous compounds known for their antioxidant capabilities, including anthocyanidins, catechins, tannis, and gallic and ellagic acids .

Plant sterols are naturally occurring plant compounds that have structures similar to cholesterol . Research has shown that these compounds compete with the absorption of dietary cholesterol and inhibit the reabsorption of endogenous cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract . Supplementation with plant sterols can significantly lower cholesterol levels, providing yet another mechanism by which healthy cholesterol levels can be maintained .

Corvalen®

Corvalen® contains pure D-ribose, a pentose sugar that supports the way our bodies produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell . D-ribose is a safe and clinically researched ingredient designed to provide athletic support by regulating fatigue, energy production and mitochondrial function . This slightly sweet D-ribose powder is highly soluble, and rapidly and readily (~95%) absorbed into the body, with peak blood levels found within 30 – 45 minutes .

Our bodies must have an adequate supply of nucleotides to form major cellular constituents, such as our genetic material, cofactors, vitamins and importantly, ATP . Ribose is the starting point for the synthesis of these fundamental cellular compounds and the availability of ribose determines their rate of synthesis .

Ribose is formed naturally via the pentose phosphate pathway . This pathway is slow and rate-limited in cardiac and skeletal muscle due to an inherently low concentration of the enzymes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase . Administration of exogenous ribose bypasses the rate-limiting steps in this pathway, resulting in a significant acceleration in nucleotide and ATP formation . D-ribose is indicated for sports and fitness activities because it helps reduce the loss of energy during stress, and accelerates energy and tissue/muscle recovery . D-ribose may also support proper heart function and healthy stroke volume during and after intense exercise . Thus, it helps to maintain performance and promote endurance in extended, high intensity exercise .

Indications • Athletic support • Source of carbohydrates to support energy production

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 scoop 2-4 times a day dissolved in water, juice or milk, with food . Do not mix with carbonated beverages . Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 8 weeks .

Corvalen® M

Corvalen® M has all the benefits of Corvalen®, with magnesium gluconate to help utilize energy and promote proper muscle function .

D-ribose is a natural pentose sugar that supports the natural way our bodies produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell . D-ribose is a safe and clinically researched ingredient designed to provide athletic support by regulating fatigue, energy production and mitochondrial function . It is indicated for sports and fitness activities because it helps reduce the loss of energy during stress, and accelerates energy and tissue/muscle recovery . Studies show that D-ribose helps to maintain performance and promote endurance in extended, high intensity exercise . D-ribose rapidly dissolves in both hot and cold solutions and is readily absorbed into the body .

Magnesium is critical in facilitating hundreds of biochemical reactions, including those involved in nutrient metabolism . It plays an essential role in both muscle contraction and relaxation, and may maintain muscle function in physically active older adults . Magnesium is also a cofactor for the enzyme creatine kinase, which generates ATP from phosphocreatine stored in muscle tissues during intense exercise (known as alactic anaerobic metabolism) .

Indications • Athletic support • Muscle function

Glucoplex™

Glucoplex™ provides support for glucose metabolism as well as antioxidant defence . Each capsule contains a complementary blend of thiamine, biotin, chromium, alpha-lipoid acid, n-acetyl-l-cysteine, and Ayurvedic botanical gymnema sylvestre .

Glycation is the non-enzymatic attachment of sugars to major molecules in the body, including proteins, lipids and nucleic acids . Glycation reactions generate advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and glycotoxin intermediates, which cause abnormal and destructive functioning of these molecules . AGEs can be created endogenously, often as a consequence of excessive blood glucose levels .

Maintenance of normal blood carbohydrate levels is fundamental to preventing AGE formation . Chromium is an integral component of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), a naturally occurring compound of chromium, nicotinic acid, and amino acids that is essential for proper glucose metabolism . Adequate chromium nutrition is essential for the formation of GTF and subsequent healthy glucose metabolism .

Biotin and thiamin serve as cofactors in carbohydrate metabolism . Biotin induces glucokinase, an enzyme that encourages cells to retain glucose for energy production rather than releasing it into the bloodstream . Thiamin pyrophosphate, a derivative of thiamin, is a key component the pentose phosphate pathway and links glycolysis to the Krebs cycle .

Oxidative stress is closely related to AGE production and is a known contributing factor to many of the same health concerns associated with AGEs . N-acetyl-l-cysteine is a potent antioxidant and serves as an intracellular precursor of glutathione . Similarly, alpha-lipoic acid can regenerate glutathione, and is soluble in both water and lipids, allowing it to neutralize free radicals nearly everywhere in the body .

Indications • Glucose metabolism support • Antioxidant support • Energy production

Lipotrol™

Lipotrol™ is a combination of nutrients, phytochemicals and digestive enzymes that is formulated to support healthy lipid metabolism .

The liver is one of the primary organs involved in lipid metabolism, including the synthesis of fatty acids and lipoproteins . Choline bitartrate is a source of choline, an important nutrient that supports healthy liver function, such as the production and transport of VLDL from the liver .

Niacin occurs in the body as two metabolically active coenzymes, NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (NAD phosphate) . These coenzymes have pervasive roles in energy-related and biosynthetic metabolic processes . The inositol hexaniacinate form of niacin in Lipotrol™ does not elicit the skin flushing signs of nicotinic acid .

Lipotrol™ contains citrus bioflavonoids, a class of phytochemicals that are potent antioxidants, to scavenge many potentially damaging free radicals . The digestive enzymes bromelain and papain are also included .

Indications • Supports fat metabolism • Antioxidant support

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1-2 tablets daily with meals, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner . For prolonged use, consult your healthcare practitioner .

R-Lipoic Acid

R-Lipoic acid is the naturally occurring form of the potent antioxidant lipoic acid . Many lipoic acid products contain a mixture of both R and S forms . However, the R-form has received special attention as studies indicate it may be better utilized by the body than a mixture containing both forms .

Lipoic acid is unique among biological antioxidants because it is soluble in both water and lipids . This solubility allows it to neutralize free radicals just about everywhere in the body, inside and outside of cells . Due to its unique sulfur-containing structure, lipoic acid can scavenge several types of free radicals, such as the highly reactive hydroxyl and singlet oxygen free radicals . Lipoic acid is also capable of suppressing the generation of free radicals . Because lipoic acid is involved in so many different antioxidant functions in virtually all body tissues, it has been called the universal antioxidant . R-Lipoic Acid also contains vitamin C to further support antioxidant defence in cells .

Indications • Antioxidant support

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 capsule twice daily with food or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .

Our hormones enable us to adapt to the demands and stressors of life, but hormone levels often diminish as a consequence of normal aging. Our brain, bones, heart, skin and muscles all depend on healthy levels of hormones to function properly. Male and female hormones, thyroid hormones and adrenal hormones work in synergy to support body functions. Maintaining healthy and appropriately balanced hormones supports healthy aging and quality of life, and helps make an active lifestyle easier to maintain.

Calcium D-Glucarate

Calcium-D-glucarate is a scientifically researched source of calcium that helps to maintain good health . It is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, which is produced in low levels by humans . The adult human body contains approximately 1,200 g of calcium, about 99% of which is present in the skeleton . Bone is constantly turning over in a continuous process of formation and resorption . In children and adolescents, the rate of formation of bone mineral predominates over the rate of resorption . In later life, resorption predominates over formation . Therefore, in normal aging, there is a gradual loss of bone . Adequate calcium throughout life as part of a healthy diet may help prevent bone loss later in life .

Indications • Osteo-support

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 capsule 1-3 times daily, or as directed by your health practitioner .

DIM® Enhanced

DIM® Enhanced is a microencapsulated form of diindolylmethane (DIM) designed to promote healthy estrogen balance . Standardized curcumin and green tea extracts are also included alongside wasabia .

Healthy hormone detoxification is a crucial part of the normal functioning of organs, including the breast . DIM is known to help stimulate natural detoxification enzymes and support healthy estrogen metabolism . As a natural component derived from indole-3-carbinole and cruciferous vegetables, DIM has been shown in clinical research to favour the production of the estrogen metabolite 2-hydroxysterone over the more deleterious 16-hydroxyestrone . DIM can also decrease the severity and duration of recurrent breast pain and promote antioxidant support . Microencapsulated DIM® by BioResponse® is a patented, absorption-enhancing formulation to ensure proper assimilation by the body . It is the only DIM with proven absorption and activity demonstrated in independently performed clinical studies .

Polyphenols in green tea, specifically the catechins, provide the primary health promoting benefits associated with green tea consumption . Catechins, most notably epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), are effective antioxidants and decrease harmful oxidative damage . Studies have shown that curcuminoids, naturally occurring bioactive compounds from turmeric, also scavenge free radicals by providing antioxidants . Since curcumin exhibits poor absorption when consumed orally, DIM® Enhanced contains a highly bioavailable curcumin that has up to a 20-fold improvement in bioavailability versus the standard 95% curcumin extracts .

Wasabia japonica (a member of the cruciferous vegetable family) contains long chain isothiocyanates (ITCs), which are unique to wasabia .

Indications • Estrogen metabolism • Antioxidant support

Estro-Mend™

[ Formulated by Dr. Joseph J. Collins, N.D., R.N. ]†

Estro-Mend™ is a soy-free blend of herbs used in Herbal Medicine that helps ease nervous tension, while relieving pain associated with menstruation and symptoms associated with menopause .

A complex interaction of hormones regulates menstruation . Imbalances of hormones, including estrogen, can result in menstrual pain and premenstrual symptoms, which often include changes in mood, energy, attention, appetite, sleep, physical comfort (breast tenderness, bloating) and quality of life . Phytoestrogens, including black cohosh, mimic the functions of estrogens without proliferative actions, and help relieve menstrual pain and premenstrual symptoms .

Significantly less estrogen is produced in the period before menopause . Hormonal fluctuations during this time can result in common menopausal symptoms, including hot flushes and vaginal dryness . Phytoestrogens also support and minimize the changes and symptoms that are sometimes experienced during menopause . Studies have found that black cohosh helps relieve menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, excessive sweating, insomnia and vaginal atrophy . As menopause may result in sleep disruption, Estro-Mend™ also contains hops, which can relieve nervousness and aid sleep .

Indications • Premenstrual symptoms • Menopause

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 2 capsules per day in divided doses with food or as directed by a healthcare practitioner . Take a few hours before or after other medications . Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 6 months .

Melatonin

Melatonin sublingual tablets each contain 3 mg of the highest purity melatonin . Purity and potency of each batch of Melatonin tablets are verified by an independent certified analytical laboratory .

Melatonin is a hormone synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan by the pineal gland in the brain . The perception of daylight in the eyes is a signal for the pineal gland to inhibit melatonin synthesis and release . At night or in a dark environment, the body’s melatonin production rises, which is thought to be responsible for promoting sleep . Therefore, most of the research on melatonin has focused on its role in maintaining normal sleep/wake rhythms . Research has shown that melatonin supplementation helps re-set the body’s sleep-wake cycle, an aspect of circadian rhythm . It helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (sleep onset latency) in people with delayed sleep phase disorder, who often experience difficulty falling asleep at desired or conventional times . Melatonin also increases the total sleep time in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule, including shift-work and jet lag, and helps to relieve the daytime fatigue associated with jet lag . Nocturnal melatonin production is highest in children and begins to decline from adolescence until it is virtually absent in the elderly . This sublingual tablet will rapidly dissolve when placed under the tongue and the bisect tablet allows for easy dosing modifications .

Indications • Delayed sleep phase disorder, shift-work or jet lag

Suggested Usage: Take 1 sublingual tablet 1 hour before bedtime as directed by your healthcare professional only . For use beyond 4 weeks, consult your healthcare practitioner .

Progesto-Mend™

[ Formulated by Dr. Joseph J. Collins, N.D., R.N. ]†

Progesto-Mend™ is a combination of natural plant extracts including chasteberry specifically designed to normalize hormones to help stabilize menstrual cycle irregularities .

Chasteberry extract (Vitex agnus-castus) contains active constituents that play a role in hormone activity, including dopaminergic compounds that suppress the release of prolactin . This is important as excess prolactin may inhibit progesterone secretion during the second half of the menstrual cycle . High prolactin and low progesterone levels during this phase are both associated with premenstrual symptoms, such as breast tenderness . Supplementation with chaste berry extract has been shown to relieve common premenstrual symptoms, including mood, headache, bloating, and breast fullness . Progesto-Mend™ also contains herbs used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, including forskohlii, passionflower, crampbark, Di huang and white peony .

Testo-Plus™ (Formerly Testo-Gain™)[ Formulated by Dr. Joseph J. Collins, N.D., R.N. ]†

Testo-Plus™ is a unique mixture of herbs used in traditional Herbal Medicine . Each capsule contains Siberian and Panax ginseng, which provide support for mental and physical performance after stress .

Research has found that stress may lower testosterone levels in both men and women by a variety of ways: 1 . Stress increases oxidative damage, which decreases the production of steroid hormones . 2 . The stress hormone cortisol prevents testosterone secretion . 3 . Stress inhibits the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), decreasing the production of luteinizing hormone (the hormone responsible for testosterone production in the testis) . 4 . Stress decreases blood flow to the testicles, which lowers testosterone levels . 5 . Stress negatively affects norepinephrine, which is involved in the production of LHRH in both men and women as well as testosterone synthesis in males .

Siberian ginseng promotes mental and physical performance after exertion by regulating the signalling of hormones involved in stress responses, including cortisol and norepinephrine . This promotes proper hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, which controls various homeostatic processes in the body . Similarly, panax ginseng supports the body’s response to stress and fatigue . It is also a supportive therapy for the promotion of healthy glucose levels . Ginseng’s actions in the body are thought to be due to a complex interplay of constituents, including the ginsenosides and panaxans .

Indications • Mental and physical stress

Suggested Usage: Adult males: Take 1 capsule with each meal (3 daily), or as directed by healthcare practitioner . Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 1 month .

Testo-Quench™ For Men[ Formulated by Dr. Joseph J. Collins, N.D., R.N. ]†

Testo-Quench™ for Men is a unique combination of herbal extracts, including saw palmetto and pygeum specifically designed to help relieve urologic symptoms associated with mild to moderate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) . BPH is a common disorder among aging men . It causes painful, difficult and frequent urination, as well as incomplete voiding due to increased prostate growth .

The growth of the prostate depends on stimulation from androgens . Research shows that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a critical factor in prostate growth and is metabolized from testosterone by 5a-reductase . Saw palmetto is used in Herbal Medicine to decrease the urologic symptoms associated with BPH . It has been shown to have anti-androgenic activity,inhibiting the actions of both 5a-reductase and DHT . Saw palmetto may exert anti-proliferative effects by blocking prolactin signalling, which decreases prolactin-induced prostate growth . Studies show that saw palmetto can also bind receptors in the bladder and prostate to control urine flow .

Indications • Urologic symptoms of Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 capsule 2 times daily with food to minimize gastric disturbance, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner .

In terms of surface area, the gastrointestinal tract comprises one of the largest organ systems in the body. The roles that it plays are varied and extend well beyond simply moving and digesting food to allow for the absorption of nutrients. In addition to acting as a barrier against the harsh external environment, the digestive system possesses an intricate lymph network responsible for ridding the body of waste and toxins. The gastrointestinal tract houses a highly complex ecosystem that contains trillions of microorganisms. Research continues to uncover new ways in which beneficial bacteria can positively impact health, expanding beyond the confines of the digestive tract.

Anti MFP

Anti MFP is a unique formula containing goldenseal, a plant with numerous health benefits observed in traditional uses of Herbal Medicine . Goldenseal is a plant native to North America, growing in wooded areas, in rich fertile soil protected from harsh conditions . Although this herb has many uses, most commonly goldenseal is used in conditions relating to the digestive tract . Goldenseal has been used for hundreds of years in Herbal Medicine to help alleviate infectious and inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract such as gastritis and digestive disturbances such as dyspepsia .

Additionally, goldenseal has been used as a bitter to aid digestion and as a mild laxative . The beneficial effects of goldenseal are attributed to alkaloids isolated from the plant compound . One of those alkaloids, berberine, is added as part of the formulation for Anti MFP, acting as a complimentary ingredient to goldenseal .

Anti MFP contains grapefruit and olive leaf extract, which are a source of antioxidants . Antioxidants are critical for the maintenance of good health as they are able to scavenge free radicals in the body, decreasing the potential damaging effects to things like cellular membranes and DNA .

Black walnut and burdock, ingredients in Anti MFP are herbs traditionally used in Herbal Medicine .

Soluble dietary fibre absorbs water in the digestive tract forming a gel-like substance and is fermented in the colon to varying degrees . This results in lower colonic pH and the production of short chain fatty acids, important factors for the intestinal microflora and the health of the mucosal cells . Insoluble fibre helps movement in the gastrointestinal by adding bulk to stools . Many insoluble and soluble fibres bind dietary cholesterol and bile acids in the intestine .

Glucomannan is a partially fermentable, soluble fibre extracted from konjac root . Carrot and celery powders provide a rich array of soluble and insoluble dietary fibres, including cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and lignin . Sodium alginate is a soluble partially fermentable fibre derived from seaweed .

Indications • Source of fibre for the maintenance of good health

Suggested Usage: Adults take 2 capsules twice daily with at least 8 ounces (a full glass) of water or other fluid or as directed by a healthcare practitioner . Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 3 weeks .

Intestamine®

Intestamine® provides an exclusive blend of the amino acids glutamine and glucosamine along with fructooligiosaccharides and fibre . The source of fibre, Acacia fibre, is derived from Acacia senegal, a thorny tree native to Africa and India . Fibre has numerous beneficial effects on the body . Acacia fibre is a soluble, non-bulking agent which can be fermented by the microflora to acetic, propionic and butyric short-chain fatty acids . These short-chain fatty acids may act as an energy source to the existing microbiotia present in the small intestine . Unlike Acacia fibre, NutraFlora® FOS has the ability to pass through the small intestine into the colon without being digested or altered in any way .

Indications • Source of fibre

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 6 capsules between meals daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .

Multi-Probiotic® 4000

Each Multi-Probiotic® 4000 capsule contains over four billion beneficial organisms, including representatives of both the lactobacillus and bifidobacterium genera, mixed in a base of fructooligosaccharides . Dietary supplementation with probiotics could help promote a favourable gut flora and help support gastrointestinal health . Healthy bacteria, such as those in Multi-Probiotic® 4000, manufacture key vitamins, maintain proper gastrointestinal pH, help to break food down to more easily assimilated forms, enhance local immune response of the mucous membrane, and suppress putrefactive bacteria . Probiotics compete with pathogens for colonization in the gastrointestinal tract leading to a reduction in pH . In addition, by increasing mucin release on intestinal surfaces, probiotics decrease the potential of pathogen bacteria adherence in the digestive system . Douglas Laboratories uses DDS-1 referred to as the “super-strain” which has been shown to have benefits greater than 200 other strains of acidophilus . Multi-Probiotic® is a registered mark of Nutri-Health Supplements, LLC, used with permission .

Our bones and joints play a critical role in the musculoskeletal system, a network that includes our muscles, ligaments, tendons and other connective tissue. It is well established that as a consequence of normal aging, we see many changes in the musculoskeletal system that can lead to decreased mobility and quality of life. Decreases in bone density, changes in cartilage and connective tissue, and altered muscle function can all occur as part of the normal aging process. Fortunately, a healthful diet, exercise and proper supplementation can help us maintain healthy mobility and an active lifestyle well into our later years.

Bromelain-5000

Bromelain-5000 is a source of bromelain, a combination of digestive enzymes obtained from the lower stems of the pineapple plant . It has an especially strong ability to break down large macromolecular protein complexes and is effective at a wide pH range . This ensures its activity in both the stomach and small intestine . Although the pancreas releases enzymes that help break down macronutrients, these enzymes are prone to degradation and do not completely survive intestinal transit . Aging, genetic predisposition, exposure to toxic compounds or injury may also lead to decreased enzyme production . Insufficiency of pancreatic enzymes can result in abdominal pain, maldigestion and nutrient malabsorption . However, digestive enzyme supplementation helps to stabilize enzyme activity in the body for proper food digestion and nutrient absorption .

Dyna-Cal new product

Dyna-Cal provides a significant amount of dietary calcium along with other ingredients, such as glutamic acid, to ensure proper acidity for enhanced absorption .

About 99% of calcium is present in the skeleton, where it supports bone formation and decreases bone loss . Nearly 60% of magnesium is found in bone, where it mediates bone-forming osteoblast activity and calcium metabolism . Magnesium also promotes proper muscle function .

Vitamin D is a key regulatory hormone for calcium and bone metabolism . Adequate vitamin D levels are essential for ensuring normal calcium absorption and maintenance of plasma calcium levels . Manganese is necessary for the activation of enzymes that help form proteoglycans, which are primarily responsible for the compressive strength of bones .

Osteoporosis, a condition of reduced bone mineral density that can increase risk of fractures, affects a large proportion of the elderly . Research demonstrates that higher peak bone mass decreases the risk of osteoporosis later in life . Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthy diet may help prevent bone loss/osteoporosis . As individuals achieve peak bone mass around age 30, it is critical for younger adults to maximize bone health during the bone growth period . However, even the elderly can benefit significantly from supplementation with dietary calcium .

Fibro M Plus

Fibro M Plus is a unique complex of malic acid and magnesium with the additional benefit of vitamin C and bioflavonoids . It is an excellent blend to promote proper muscle function, maintain bone health and support energy production .

Magnesium is essential to many cellular functions involving energy production, protein formation and cellular replication . It is a cofactor for over 600 enzymes and plays important roles in amino acid synthesis and glycolysis . Magnesium helps to maintain proper muscle function by regulating muscle contractions . During intense exercise, magnesium helps generate ATP from the phosphocreatine stored in muscle as a cofactor for the enzyme creatine kinase . It is also involved in stimulating bone forming osteoblast activity, which aids in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth .

Similarly, vitamin C promotes nutrient metabolism as a co-substrate for several enzymes . It is necessary for the synthesis of carnitine, which transports fatty acids from the cytosol (the cell fluid) into the mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouses) for oxidation and energy production . Vitamin C contributes to bone health through its role in collagen synthesis, the primary structural protein in connective tissue . As the most important aqueous antioxidant in humans, vitamin C donates electrons to prevent free radical damage to DNA . Fibro M Plus also contains bioflavonoids to further provide antioxidant support to cells .

Joint Tendon Ligament II[ Formulated by Dr. Martin P. Gallagher, M.D., D.C. ]†

Joint Tendon Ligament II is a unique formula containing several vitamins and antioxidants . The formula was specifically designed to help develop and maintain bone and cartilage .

Vitamin K plays a crucial role in building and maintaining bone health . It is needed to activate osteocalcin, a protein secreted by osteoblasts that regulates bone mineral maturation . Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) is more bioactive and effective than vitamin K1 and other menaquinones . Vitamin D also has a dramatic effect on bone formation as it promotes calcium absorption and the production of bone matrix proteins .

In vitro research has shown that vitamin C enhances the expression of type I collagen and fibronectin, two crucial components of connective tissue . Vitamin C is also an important water-soluble antioxidant .

The polyphenols contained in green tea, specifically the catechins, appear to provide the primary health promoting benefits associated with green tea consumption . Catechins, most notably epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), act as critical antioxidants throughout the body . pTeroPure™ pterostilbene (a nature-identical form of a stilbene found in berries) is considered a methylated form of resveratrol . Pterostilbene has greater lipophilicity, a longer half-life and a higher potential for cellular uptake than resveratrol .

Folate (as bioavailable methylfolate from Metafolin®) and vitamin B12 (as metabolically active methylcobalamin) play important roles in erythropoiesis (red blood cell formation) .

Joint Tendon Ligament II can be taken to help in the development and maintenance of cartilage and bone in conjunction with Joint Tendon Ligament I to help relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis .

Indications • Bone and cartilage maintenance

Ultra Joint Forte

Ultra Joint Forte is a synergistic combination of glucosamine, chondroitin, methysulfonylmethane (MSM) and astaxanthin that helps maintain joint health .

Glucosamine HCl is a well-absorbed source of glucosamine, an important precursor for the synthesis and maintenance of healthy cartilage . As a result, supplementation with glucosamine HCl helps to maintain healthy cartilage and joints .

Chondroitin sulfate also helps protect existing cartilage by reducing water loss from the matrix and inhibiting its enzymatic breakdown . Studies have shown that chondroitin sulfate helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis .

MSM is a naturally occurring compound of biologically available sulfur, an indispensable element required for the structural integrity and function of almost every protein in the body . Dietary MSM therefore serves as a versatile donor of metabolically active sulfur for the synthesis of numerous organosulfur compounds and proteins .

Approximately 99% of calcium and 85% of phosphorus in the body are present in bone . These minerals combine to form hydroxyapatite, which helps to maintain the rigid structure of bone .

The natural carotenoid astaxanthin is also included to support antioxidant defence .

Indications • Joint Health • Osteo-support • Osteoarthritis joint pain relief

Wobenzym® N

For over 60 years, Wobenzym® N has been a trusted name for enzyme supplementation . Developed by leading scientists and used by millions of people worldwide, Wobenzym® N is a systemic enzyme formulation that contains five clinically studied enzymes from both plants and animals, as well as the antioxidant rutin .

Hundreds of chemical reactions occur during the course of normal metabolic processes . Many chemical reactions require significant energy to take place, and therefore need a catalyst to lower the activation energy . In the body, enzymes play the role of the catalyst and allow reactions to take place that would otherwise not occur . The enzyme itself is not consumed in this process and can be utilized repeatedly . Enzymes are relatively unique to each reaction; different enzymes catalyze different reactions . Some enzymes are sensitive to changes in pH and temperature, and can be destroyed if exposed to less than ideal conditions .

Once absorbed in the small intestine, systemic enzyme supplements work directly in the body and are not intended to aid digestion . Consequently, these enzymes assist the body’s various regulatory and communications systems . Wobenzym® N helps to support healthy joints, including the relief of pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, and ankle joint injury recuperation . Wobenzym® N tablets enteric-coated to prevent dissolution in the stomach . This allows the enzymes to reach the small intestine, where absorption may occur .

Indications • Ankle joint injury recuperation • Joint pain • Antioxidant support

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 3 tablets 4 times daily on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes prior to your next meal or at least 2 hours after your last meal . Do not crush or chew . Consult a healthcare practitioner for prolonged use (beyond 1 year) .

Wobenzym® Plus

Clinically researched Wobenzym® Plus is the most potent Wobenzym® formula yet . With its increased activity compared to Wobenzym® N and a convenient, 4-tablets-a-day dose, patients require fewer pills to consume than other Wobenzym® formulations . Wobenzym® has been made in Germany since the 1960s and has been clinically researched over the past 50+ years in over 200 clinical trials .

Wobenzym® Plus is offered in the form of enteric-coated tablets and provides a specific formulation of proteolytic enzymes to help relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, and support fast recovery following ankle joint injury .

Systemic enzyme supplements work directly in the body after they are absorbed in the small intestine and are not intended to aid in digestion . Consequently, these enzymes can be utilized to assist the body’s various regulatory and communications systems . After the enzymes are absorbed, protease molecules can bind with molecules found within the blood including a-2-macroglobulin, resulting in the formulation of an a-2-macroglobulin-protease complex . This newly formed complex alters the molecular configuration of the a-2-macroglobulin molecule, which results in a change in its affinity to bind certain cytokines . Once a cytokine is bound to the protease, the entire complex is able to be eliminated from the body, allowing normal cytokine balance .

Indications • Ankle joint injury recuperation • Joint pain • Antioxidant support

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 2 tablets twice daily at least 45 minutes before meals with cold water or as recommended by your health care professional . Consult a healthcare practitioner for prolonged use (beyond 1 year) .

Dr. Peter Bongiorno is a naturopathic physician and licensed acupuncturist who specializes in the emotional well-being and mental health of patients. He has authored numerous books for physicians and patients about natural medicine.

As we age, changes occur in many areas of our brain – notably, the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. These changes may impact our memory recall, ability to perform tasks and emotional well-being, and compromise our overall quality of life. Factors such as genetics, diet, exercise and the environment can all influence cognitive health during our later years. Emerging research continues to focus on how we may be able to provide nutritional support during many of the normal, age-related changes we observe in brain function and mood.

Alpha-GPC

Alpha-GPC, also known as alpha-glycerophosphocholine, is a phospholipid-like compound found in all tissues of the body, including the brain . Alpha-GPC can be readily converted to phosphatidylcholine, the most abundant phospholipid found in the body . In the brain, this is especially important as phosphatidylcholine plays an important role in cellular signaling and the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine . As phospholipid metabolites change throughout normal aging processes, Alpha-GPC helps maintain cognitive function during aging . Randomized control trials have found that Alpha-GPC supplementation helps mental focus, recall, attention and cognitive function in both middle aged and elderly adults . Alpha-GPC is also a source of choline for the maintenance of good health . In addition to its role in the brain, choline has been found to have numerous biological functions in the body including involvement in methylation and cellular signaling pathways .

Indications • Helps maintain cognitive function during aging • Source of choline for the maintenance of good health

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 2 capsules twice daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner . Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 6 months .

Ayur-Ashwaganda

Withania somnifera, also known as Ashwaganda, is an important herb traditionally used in India as part of Ayurvedic medicine . Ashwaganda is traditionally used in Ayurveda for general debility during healing processes, known as convalescence, or old age . Ashwaganda is thought to increase the body’s resistance to biological and chemical stresses, and thus stimulate a person’s general vitality, both physical and emotional . Although the exact mechanism is unknown, it is believed that Ashwaganda exerts its beneficial effects on the body by modulating GABA receptors in the brain . The class of compounds known as withanolides are thought to contribute to Ashwaganda’s beneficial effects on the mind and body .

Indications • Traditionally used in Ayurveda to relieve general debility, especially

during convalescence or old age

Brain Calm[ Formulated by Dr. Eric R. Braverman, M.D. ]†

Brain Calm is an effective blend of critical amino acids and herbs that promote relaxation and sleep . GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain . Most neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine and noradrenaline, promote a feeling of wakefulness and alertness, however GABA acts by blocking these “excitatory” neurotransmitters to promote relaxation in the brain . By promoting relaxation, GABA has been shown to help sleep irregularities such as the inability to fall asleep or waking during the night . Additionally, Brain Calm contains Passion flower, which is used traditionally in Herbal Medicine as a sleep aid, especially in times of restlessness or sleeplessness due to mental stress . Plant compounds of Passion flower exert effects in the brain by binding to GABA receptors, promoting a relaxation effect similar to GABA itself . By reducing feelings of anxiousness and stress, randomized control trials have found that Passion flower improves overall sleep quality .

Indications • Temporarily promotes relaxation • Passionflower is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine as a sleep aid

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 capsule before dinner or at bedtime, or as directed by your healthcare professional . Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 12 weeks .

Brain Memory[ Formulated by Dr. Eric R. Braverman, M.D. ]†

Brain Memory is a combination of nutrients, specially designed to help enhance cognitive function and memory in adults .

Ginkgo biloba extract is well studied in terms of brain function and cognition . It contains flavonoids and other plant constituents which have many beneficial effects in the brain including decreasing inflammation, increasing cerebral blood flow, scavenging free radicals and increasing the activity of various neurotransmitters including 5-HTP, dopamine, and noradrenaline . Together, these various effects in the brain are thought to enhance cognitive function in older adults .

GPC Choline is used to form phosphatidylcholine, the most abundant phospholipid found in the body . In the brain, this is especially important as phosphatidylcholine plays a critical role in cellular signaling and the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine . Acetylcholine acts in the central nervous system to enhance the activity of neurons . Additionally, an extract of the Chinese club moss, Huperzia serrata, Huperzine A has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries . It is an effective inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that degrades acetylcholine .

Indications • Helps to enhance cognitive function and memory in adults

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 2 capsules 3 times daily with food or as directed by a healthcare practitioner . Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 6 months .

Brain Mood[ Formulated by Dr. Eric R. Braverman, M.D. ]†

Brain Mood is a blend of several ingredients, including L-5-Hydroxytrytophan (5-HTP), used to aid in sleep . 5-HTP modulates the formation of the key neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, which is used as a precursor to form melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep . In the body, 5-HTP is synthesized from the amino acid L-tryptophan . The formation of serotonin is completely dependent on the amount of L-tryptophan and 5-HTP available in the central nervous system . Once inside the brain, L-tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP, which is then used to synthesize serotonin .

L-tryptophan is dependent on an enzyme, tryptophan hydroxylase, to cross the blood brain barrier, however this enzyme can be inhibited by a number of different factors . 5-HTP, the metabolite of L-tryptophan, is well absorbed from the diet and is able to freely cross the blood brain barrier without requiring a transport molecule . Supplementation with 5-HTP has been shown to increase sleep quality, particularly by increasing Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and regulating sleep patterns .

St . John’s Wort has been used in Herbal Medicine for hundreds of years and is known to have a variety of traditional-type uses . As co-enzymes, the B vitamins thiamine, niacinamide, folic acid, vitamin B12, and pantothenic acid are essential components in most major metabolic reactions . They play an important role in energy production, including the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins . Vitamin B12 and folate are also important for the formation of red blood cells .

Indications • Sleep aid

Neuro Comfort new product[ Formulated by Patrick Hogan, D.O. and Joan Hogan, R.D. ]†

Neuro Comfort is a formula designed by neurological specialists based on ingredient research to reduce the frequency of migraine headaches when taken as a prophylactic . Specific nutrients included in this unique formula, such coenzyme Q10, magnesium and B vitamins, are associated with functioning of neurological pathways .

Migraine headaches can often be associated with discomfort, nausea, emesis, photophobia and visual sensory changes, and are linked to a number of genes, including those involved in regulating the vascular system . Most simply, migraine headaches are thought to be associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in cells . The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of all cells, as it is the location of energy production in the body . Regular supplementation with CoQ10, an electron carrier, as a prophylactic is believed to restore mitochondria dysfunction, leading to a reduction in migraine frequency . Magnesium and riboflavin play an important role in this process, as these nutrients are required for the proper function of ATP-synthase and as a source of cofactors in the electron transport chain, respectively .

Indications • Helps to reduce the frequency of migraine headaches when taken as a prophylactic • Tissue formation • Muscle function

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 capsule 2 times per day or as directed by your healthcare practitioner . Use for a minimum of 3 months to see beneficial effects . For use beyond 6 months, consult a healthcare practitioner .

Phosphatidyl-SERINE Capsules

Phosphatidyl-SERINE Capsules provide phosphatidyl-serine from enriched soy lecithin . Phosphatidylserine is a major component of neuronal membranes and helps to support cognitive function . Phosphatidylserine is synthesized from phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine or a combination of the two in a calcium dependent reaction . In membranes, phosphatidylserine plays an important role in cellular signaling, minimizing oxidative stress by increasing membrane fluidity . Nerve cells, in particular, depend on healthy membrane function for normal neurotransmitter metabolism and nerve signal transmission . Through normal aging processes, structural and functional changes occur in neuronal membranes . More specifically, decreased phosphatidylserine in neuronal membranes is associated with memory impairment . Dietary supplemention with phosphatidylserine has been shown to improve memory and learning capabilities . It is efficiently and rapidly absorbed in the intestine, taken up into the blood, and readily crosses the blood-brain barrier to reach the nerve cells of the brain .

Indications • Supports cognitive function

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 3 capsules per day or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner .

Relora®-Plex

Relora®-Plex is a unique blend of two herbal extracts, Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense, combined with B vitamins for the maintenance of good health . Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense are used in traditional Herbal Medicine to temporary relieve symptoms of perceived stress . When the body experiences stress, cortisol secretion increases, causing a breakdown of muscle protein and the release of amino acids to form glucose via gluconeogenesis . The resulting higher level of glucose in the body, combined with the decreased use of glucose by other tissues, ensures that the brain is receiving adequate energy to protect the body . While cortisol secretion is an important part of the body’s response to stress, the prolonged secretion of cortisol can have negative effects to the proper functioning of the body including immune function, digestion, and hormones . The extracts of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense, honokiol and berberine, found in Relora®, have been studied in randomized clinical trials showing positive results in reducing perceived stress . Both honokiol and berberine are known to have an anxiolytic effect on the body, decreasing stress and feelings of anxiousness that usually accompany stress . In a randomized control trial conducted on moderately stressed adults, Relora® was shown to decrease salivary cortisol exposure indicating a reduction in cortisol released from the adrenal glands . Participants also reported a reduction in feelings of stress and improvements in sleep disturbances and restlessness attributed to stress . Relora® allows individuals to feel less stress without causing drowsiness throughout the day .

Indications • Temporarily relieves symptoms of perceived stress • A factor in the maintenance of good health

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 2 capsules daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .

Sereniten Plus [ Formulated by Dr. Penny Kendall-Reed, N.D. ]†

Sereniten Plus contains milk protein hydrolysate, which temporarily helps reduce symptoms of mild mental and physical stress . The milk protein hydrolysate, in the form of Lactium®, contains a bioactive decapeptide that has been clinically studied for reducing stress . During times of physical or mental stress, cortisol levels in the body rise as a defensive mechanism to protect the body . Although this is an adaptive mechanism, prolonged secretion of cortisol can have negative impacts on proper functioning, including reduced immune function and poor digestion . In participants subject to induced stress, one randomized control study found that alpha S1-casein hydrolysate, the active peptide of Lactium, decreased plasma cortisol levels and lowered heart rate compared to controls . Another study found that alpha S1-casein hydrolysate also improved feelings of well-being and digestion among stressed women .

Sereniten Plus also contains L-theanine and vitamin D . Vitamin D is a factor in sustaining good health and helps in the maintenance of bones and teeth .

Indications • Temporarily reduces symptoms of mild mental and physical stress

Our eyes are vital organs, but all too often we take them for granted and lose sight of the impact that normal aging, our diet and the environment can have on our visual function. As a part of normal aging, free radicals and intense light radiation can contribute to changes in the membrane structure and function of eye cells, including those of the macula and retina. Nutrition is essential for maintaining healthy eyes as we age, and supplementation with specific well-researched nutrients can help to support healthy eye function.

Ocu-Omega™

Ocu-Omega™ is a Caplique® containing a novel combination of lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids from ultra-pure, molecularly distilled fish oil . This formula combines ingredients well regarded for ocular health in a fish (not bovine or porcine) gelatin capsule .

Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in the maintenance of overall health . Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) forms a structural component of the retina, the part of the eye responsible for receiving light that the lens has focused to ultimately send neuronal signals to the brain for visual recognition .

Lutein and zeaxanthin are nutritionally important carotenoids . Like many other carotenoids, lutein is an important antioxidant nutrient that protects healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage .

Lutein and zeaxanthin are efficient quenchers of free radicals in the body, and research has shown that these important carotenoids are the predominant pigments found in the macula . Additionally, lutein is especially concentrated in the rods, where there are the visual cells of the retina that are responsible for black and white vision in the dark . Together, lutein and zeaxanthin help maintain eyesight in conditions such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration . Futhermore, these unique carotenoids can help improve macular pigment optical density .

Dr. Stuart Richer is a practicing optometrist and clinical antioxidant researcher with special interests in aging adults and ocular nutrition. An internationally recognized speaker and the principle investigator of trials published on lutein and zeaxanthin for vision, Dr. Richer has co-formulated a line of vision health supplements with Douglas Laboratories to specifically address age-related visual decline.

Liquid B12 Formulated with Methylcobalamin(Formerly Methylcobalamin Liquid B12)

Liquid B12 provides 1,000 mcg of highly bioavailable vitamin B12 in a tasty and convenient natural cherry-flavoured liquid . Vitamin B12 is essential for the metabolism of nutrients . As a cofactor for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase enzymes, vitamin B12 helps convert odd chain fatty acids and branched-chain amino acids into succinyl-CoA, a common citric acid cycle intermediate . Vitamin B12 also serves as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine .

Most of the vitamin B12 found in supplements is in the form of cyanocobalamin . While cyanocobalamin is an excellent source of vitamin B12, studies indicate that methylcobalamin, a coenzyme form of B12, may be better utilized and retained in the body due to its methyl structure . Certain populations, including the elderly, immunocompromised, users of proton-pump inhibitors and strict vegetarians, are often at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency due to low dietary intake or impaired absorption . This is because they may be unable to effectively produce intrinsic factor, a protein produced by cells in the stomach lining that is needed by the intestines to absorb vitamin B12 efficiently .

Indications • Energy metabolism • Red blood cell formation

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 dropper (1 ml) daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .

Methyl Folate

Methyl Folate supplies 1,000 mcg of biologically active folate per tablet from Metafolin®, a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) . 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health . Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) . In certain populations, the body’s ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences .

Metafolin® contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier . Folate is a water-soluble essential B vitamin found in many foods, including leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits and beans . Research has established that supplementation with folate before and during the first two months of pregnancy can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus . Additionally, folate plays a key role in red blood cell production and the formation of methionine .

Indications • Helps to prevent folate deficiency • Energy support • Red blood cell formation • Helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily

at least three months prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy .

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 tablet daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .

Orange Chew™ 500 mg

Orange Chew™ 500 mg is a great-tasting, naturally flavoured chewable vitamin C tablet . It is an excellent alternative for those who cannot swallow tablets .

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biological functions . Foremost, it is essential for the synthesis of collagen, which is the building material of all connective tissues, such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone . Vitamin C is the required coenzyme for two groups of enzymes that catalyze the cross-linking of collagen fibers - lysyl hydroxylases and prolyl hydroxylases . As such, vitamin C is essential for wound healing . It also participates in the biosynthesis of carnitine, which shuttles fatty acids from the cytosol (the cell fluid) into the mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouses) for oxidation and energy production .

Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants in humans . It is a water-soluble, chain-breaking antioxidant that reacts directly with superoxide, hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen . Laboratory studies show that vitamin C completely protects lipids in plasma and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) against peroxidative damage . In addition, vitamin C interacts with glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid, and regenerates vitamin E . The antioxidant functions of vitamin C appear to have clinical significance in providing protection from free radical damage to cells throughout the body .

Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate

Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is the metabolically active coenzyme form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and accomplishes numerous biological functions . Pyridoxal-5-phosphate’s actions mainly involve the metabolism of amino acids and other nitrogen compounds . In the liver, pyridoxal-5-phosphate is essential for glucose production from amino acids through its role as a coenzyme for the transaminase enzymes . Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is also needed in the liver and muscles to access stored glycogen for glucose production, and to synthesize niacin from the amino acid tryptophan . In red blood cells, pyridoxal-5-phosphate is needed for hemoglobin synthesis and the regulation of oxygen affinity . Moreover, cell receptivity to steroid hormones is influenced by pyridoxal-5-phosphate . In the nervous system, pyridoxal-5-phosphate is needed for synthesis of several neurotransmitters, including serotonin (from tryptophan), taurine, dopamine, norepinephrine, histamine, and gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA) .

Indications • Optimize intake of a metabolically active form of Vitamin B6

Tri-En-All 400

Tri-En-All 400 is different from most mixed tocopherol products . It contains 100% natural-source, unesterified vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) with a minimum guaranteed amount of mixed tocopherols (d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta tocopherols), as well as a significant amount of natural mixed tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocotrienols) .

While many think that the term “vitamin E” refers to a single entity, it actually describes a family of eight different compounds known as the tocopherols and the tocotrienols . The d-alpha tocopherol isomer is the most well-known form of vitamin E, and is one of the body’s most important antioxidant nutrients – especially in cell membranes . Like tocopherols, tocotrienols function as powerful antioxidants . Numerous studies have shown gamma-tocopherol to have excellent antioxidant abilities that complement the antioxidant ability of alpha-tocopherol . In certain systems, there is evidence that tocotrienols may even possess greater antioxidant activity compared with tocopherols .

Vitamin D 1000 IU

Vitamin D 1000 IU is an excellent source of vitamin D . Adequate vitamin D intake is important for ensuring normal calcium absorption and maintaining proper calcium plasma levels . Thus, vitamin D has a critical role in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth . Studies have shown that supplementation with high doses of vitamin D maximizes bone health in adults and may decrease the risk of fractures in the elderly .

One of the main sources of vitamin D is from exposing skin to sunlight . However, this process can be limited by skin colour, sunscreen use, season and geographic location . People living close to the equator can easily produce vitamin D throughout the year, while those living farther away have to rely on foods and supplements for adequate vitamin D status . As few foods naturally contain high levels of vitamin D, supplementation is a great alternative to increase vitamin D levels .

Indications • Bone and teeth maintenance • Calcium and phosphorus absorption

Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 supplies a significant amount of biologically active vitamin K in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7) . Beyond blood clotting, the role of vitamin K in osteoporosis is related to calcium utilization . Scientific studies have revealed that vitamin K is required for the carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein secreted by osteoblasts that regulates calcification and bone mineral maturation . Thus, vitamin K plays a crucial role in building and maintaining strong bones .

Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) is more bioactive and has proven more effective than vitamin K1 and other menaquinones . MK-7 showed eight times the half-life of vitamin K1 in a 24-hour serum concentration . Therefore, MK-7 can be administered in low dosages only once a day, typically 1/1000 of a MK-4 dose . Furthermore, the study showed better utilization and improved osteocalcin carboxylation for MK-7 after 6 weeks . Numerous studies reveal long-chain menaquinones, such as MK-7, are more effective in supporting arterial health than vitamin K1 menaquinones .

Douglas Labs’ Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) is derived from geraniol and farnesol . Geraniol is the primary part of rose, palmarosa and citronella oils . Farnesol is also present in many essential oils such as citronella, lemon grass, rose and musk . This natural form of MK-7 has been extensively tested for molecular identity and bioequivalence when compared to MK-7 from fermented soybeans (natto) . It is the all-trans form, thus providing a significantly higher purity of the only biologically active form . This product is soy free .

Indications • Bone health support

Cal/Mag 2001

The adult human body contains approximately 1,200 grams of calcium, about 99% of which is present in the skeleton, and 20-30 grams of magnesium of which 60% is located in bone . Bone is constantly turned over and is a source of calcium when serum calcium falls . Supplementation has been shown to offset the calcium depleting affects of a high intake of sodium and caffeine commonly seen in the North American diet .

Calcium absorption is dependent on ionization in the intestine . Insufficient stomach acid can reduce calcium absorption to as low as four percent . Calcium bound to Kreb cycle intermediates, such as citrate, are the most absorbable forms of calcium and therefore provide greater benefit than other sources . Calcium citrate in a 2:1 ratio with magnesium has been shown to be one of the most bioavailable forms of calcium delivery to the body .

Vitamin D plays a role in calcium and bone metabolism . Adequate vitamin D status is essential for ensuring normal calcium absorption and maintenance of calcium plasma levels . Furthermore, calcium intake when combined with vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis .

Magnesium is essential for the development and maintenance of bones and teeth and helps ensure proper muscle function .

Indications • Bone and teeth maintenance • Muscle function • Calcium and phosphorus absorption

Chromium-GTF

Chromium-GTF is a trace element supplement that contains chromium bound to nicotinic acid (chromium polynicotinate) . Each capsule provides 200 mcg of chromium in its non-toxic trivalent form . Once in the body, the biologically active form of chromium is also referred to as glucose tolerance factor (GTF) as chromium provides support for healthy glucose metabolism . Although the exact mechanism is unknown, it is suggested that chromium interacts with the amino acids glycine, cysteine, glutamate, and aspartic acid in the form of low-molecular weight chromium (LMWCr) binding substance, which then attaches to insulin receptors in the body when there is a spike of insulin in the body .

Chromium is generally accepted as an essential trace mineral that potentiates insulin action and thus influences carbohydrate and fat metabolism . Chromium absorption is typically less than 2% efficient and variable depending on its form . Studies have demonstrated that chromium from Chromium-GTF has a higher bioavailability than other chromium compounds, such as chromium picolinate or chloride . Futhermore, tissues retained anywhere from 2 to 8 times more chromium from Chromium-GTF compared to other sources .

Indications • Supports healthy glucose metabolism • Helps in carbohydrate and fat metabolism

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .

5-HTP Plus Formula

5-HTP Plus Formula capsules contain 75 mg of natural L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) extracted from seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant . 5-HTP helps to promote healthy mood balance .

Serotonin, an important brain neurotransmitter, is key in the regulation of mood . Serotonin is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier and is therefore synthesized in the brain . Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is a precursor for the synthesis of serotonin . Tryptophan crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which in turn is converted into serotonin . As a metabolic amino acid intermediate in the conversion of tryptophan into serotonin, 5-HTP can also serve as a precursor of serotonin . 5-HTP crosses into the brain more readily than tryptophan as it does so without competition for uptake . 5-HTP exerts its beneficiary effects to promote healthy mood balance by increasing serotonin production, which in turn decreases excitatory hormones in the brain including dopamine and noradrenaline .

Indication • Temporarily promotes healthy mood balance

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 capsule 1-3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner . Take with food . To minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, start dosing at 1 capsule twice per day and slowly increase to 1 capsule thrice daily . Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 1 year . Use for a minimum of 1 week to see beneficial effects .

Acetyl L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-carnitine, a naturally occurring metabolite of L-carnitine, plays a key role in supporting cognitive function during aging while helping to reduce fatigue . In most tissues of the body, both L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine are involved in fatty acid oxidation . L-carnitine shuttles fatty acids from the cytosol (the cell fluid) into the mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouses) for oxidation and energy production . In the brain, acetyl-L-carnitine specifically acts on fatty acid oxidation in astrocytes and neurons to produce energy . The compound exerts its cognitive protective effects through three main actions . Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects tissues against oxidative stress while producing energy and influences the activity of nerve growth factor (NGF), the neuropeptide responsible for the growth, maintenance, and survival of certain neurons . It has also been shown that acetyl-L-carnitine can help to maintain cellular membrane stability and to restore age related membranal changes .

Indication • Fatigue • Supports cognitive function in the elderly

Klean Recovery™ new product

Tested and certified by the NSF Certified for Sport® program, Klean Recovery™ is a delicious, milk chocolate-flavoured powder formulated with the athlete’s recovery in mind . A 4:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein helps support optimal glycogen re-synthesis and muscle protein synthesis immediately after a workout or competition . In addition to whey protein, Klean Recovery™ contains a special hydrolyzed marine protein that is quickly and efficiently absorbed, and is rich in amino acids . These compounds, which include methionine, histidine and arginine, are crucial to muscle-building and nitrogen balance .

The International Society of Sports Nutrition’s position on nutrient timing suggests that a carbohydrate to protein ratio of 3 – 4:1 may increase endurance performance and maximally promote glycogen re-synthesis during acute and subsequent bouts of endurance exercise . The results of several studies in both animals and humans suggest that post-exercise muscle glycogen storage can be enhanced with a carbohydrate-protein supplement due to the interaction of carbohydrates and protein on insulin secretion .

Indications • Muscle recovery • Performance maintenance • Endurance during high intensity exercise

Suggested Usage: Adults: Take 1 tablet daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner .
