Product Description

Product > Alpha Lipoic Acid, NOW Foods - 250mg - 60 Capsules

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile water and fat soluble metabolic antioxidant. Another benefit of Alpha Lipoic Acid is that it also acts as a potent free radical quencher and aids other vitamins in their antioxidant activities. This product is our highest potency available of Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Our bodies needs alpha-lipoic acid to aid in the production of energy. The body actually make enough alpha lipoic acid for these basic metabolic functions. This compound acts as an antioxidant, however, only when there is an excess of it and it is in the "free" state in the cells. But there is no free alpha lipoic acid circulating in our bodies, unless you consume supplements or get it injected. Except for liver and yeast, foods contain only tiny amounts of it. What makes alpha lipoic acid so special as an antioxidant is that it helps deactivate a wide array of fat and water soluble free radicals in many bodily systems. In particular, it may help protect the genetic material, DNA. It is also important because it works closely with vitamins E and C and some other antioxidants, "recycling" them, thus making them much more effective.

Alpha lipoic acid is being studied and already marketed as a or treatment and preventive for many age related diseases, from heart disease and stroke to diabetes and cataracts. In Germany, in particular, it is often prescribed to treat long term complications of diabetes, such as nerve damage, thought to result in part from free-radical damage. Some studies mostly in animals, a few in humans, often using intravenous doses do show that alpha lipoic acid supplements can help keep nerves healthy and play other beneficial roles in our bodies.

If you have heart disease or diabetes, in particular. You may be unwilling to wait until more research is done. In that case, it is crucial that you talk to your Health Care Practitioner before taking it. The alpha lipoic acid supplement may, for instance, affect the dosage of your diabetes medication.

Product > Skin Formula, Antioxidant Skin Care System with Lipoic Acid, DMAE, Vitamin C Ester & Tocotrienol - 60 Capsules

The NutriBiotic Antioxidant Skin Care System provides a complete antioxidant program for skin protection and repair. In the normal wear and tear of living, your body faces a continual attack by free radicals. These treacherous molecules slowly deteriorate tissues and organs. As time passes, we age and it becomes visible on our skin.

You first line of defense against slow molecular damage and free radical activity is the NutriBiotic Antioxidant Skin Care System. Free radicals are errant molecules, which create a harmful chain reaction of cellular instability and damage. Antioxidants are scientifically documented to disarm these damaging molecules.

NutriBiotic antioxidant skin care products all contain four powerful antioxidants to provide you the best protection against the rages of time. Each product contains Alpha Lipoic Acid, DMAE, Vitamin C Ester and Tocotrienol. The system is designed to work together to help smooth the appearance of wrinkles and to soften, refine and rejuvenate your skin.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a completely natural molecule that exists inside every human cell, making it naturally present in our skin. ALA is a gentle but powerful antioxidant that is soluble in both water and fat, resulting in rapid availability to the skin. Thus, ALA promotes a healthy, youthful, glowing appearance.

DMAE is a nutrient naturally produced in the human brain. When placed on the skin, DMAE gives an almost immediate increase in the appearance of tone and will continue to firm skin over time. DMAE is considered a food-grade substance and extremely safe. This antioxidant stabilizes cell membranes, protects cells from free radical damage, and helps cells expel waste and hold on to valuable nutrients.

Vitamin C Ester is composed of regular Vitamin C joined with a fatty acid derived from palm oil. The addition of a small amount of palm oil to the Vitamin C molecule makes Vitamin C Ester an ideal skin treatment. Vitamin C Ester will penetrate the thin outer membrane that encases the cell, protecting it at the point where free radicals do the most damage. The increased absorption of Vitamin C Ester has been proven by scientists to achieve levels ten times higher in the skin that regular Vitamin C.

Tocotrienol is a high potency Vitamin E that has been clinically proven to be 40-50 times stronger and more effective at repairing skin damage than regular Vitamin E. The difference is in the chemical structure and action. Tocotrienols have the ability to completely disperse in a cell membrane, move about quickly and get rid of free radicals far more efficiently than regular Vitamin E.

Skin Formula Capsules
Skin Formula combines the four key ingredients that reverse the signs of aging and sun damage in a convenient capsule form. This antioxidant formula supports and enhances your body's natural defense mechanisms against free radical damage from the inside, where caring for your skin starts.

Suggested Use: Take 3 or more capsules daily with a meal. For optimum benefits,

Product > Choledrene Natural Cholesterol Supplement, 100% Natural, Pharmaceutical Grade, High-Tech, 600mg - 90 Capsules

CHOLEDRENE Natural Cholesterol Supplement has been thoroughly tested for three years to prove its efficacy and safety before bringing it to market. CHOLEDRENE Natural was administered with a 97% success rate to 242 men and women. These were phenomenal results, especially since an estimated 65 million Americans have cholesterol levels considered by medical experts as suboptimal.

For Advanced Support of Healthy Cardiovascular Function

Many individuals are now managing normal cholesterol levels by taking a proactive approach with diet and lifestyle changes and by including a cholesterol maintaining supplement like CHOLEDRENE Natural Cholesterol Supplement. Independent research that has been done on the active components in CHOLEDRENE demonstrates its ability to prevent oxidation of LDL Cholesterol by as much as 30%! We expect CHOLEDRENE to reinvent the nutriceutical cholesterol category with it's active components (and considering the synergy these CHOLEDRENE ingredients create when combined in the precise ratios).

CHOLEDRENE CHOLEDRENE Natural Cholesterol Supplement and it’s unique composition of rice starch, long chain fatty acids/alcohols, and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors make it unlike any other nutriceutical on the market and it works by blocking the synthesis of cholesterol. Another of CHOLEDRENE's actions is to reduce the proliferation of cells. Healthy arteries are lined with a smooth layer of cells so that the blood can flow through with no resistance. It can also prohibit the extremely dangerous formation of clots. A proprietary strain of phytosterols and monascus purpureus (called Phytostatin) is incorporated. Our unique Phytostatin has been designed in China especially for Hi-Tech to yield precise active compounds allowing it to be sold as a dietary supplement! It is composed of starch, fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic, palmitic, stearic), phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol), isoflavones, and long fatty alcohols. Our active component is MVA which is not the active compound in most red rice extracts and it need not be hydrogenized like other red yeast rice extracts so therefore yields less side effects. Magnesium is required by the heart for normal heart rhythm. The arteries require pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, and folic acid for healthy arterial function. Oxidized LDL (“Bad”) cholesterol is prevented by antioxidants, B-Vitamins prevent homocysteine, arterial plaque is fought by nitric oxide (L-Arginine derived) which supports healthy blood flow, and HMGCoA reductase is inhibited by Monascus Purpureus ... which REDUCES CHOLESTEROL. All this is contained in CHOLEDRENE and more.

Ingredients:

MONASCUS PURPUREUS - Traditionally, this compound has been used as a “blood purifier.” Our unique method of extraction helps prevent oxidation of LDL Cholesterol and maintains existing normal cholesterol levels by inhibiting its synthesis in the liver. It also allows CHOLEDRENE to be very effective without concerns about liver problems.

COENZYME Q10 - Due to the natural tendency of Coenzyme Q10 (an important energy source for the heart) to be depleted by statins, we have included this component to support efficient energy production in heart cells.

SILYMARIN - Derived from all natural sources, this compound has traditionally been used to protect the liver from harm caused by chemicals. Even though statins are extraordinarily safe, their function IS to inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the liver ... therefore, liver function in this process is supremely important. Including a “protecting” agent such as this is one of the MANY reasons why CHOLEDRENE is unrivaled in today’s market for over-the-counter, “cholesterol-managing” agents.

PROPRIETARY ANTIOXIDANT BLEND - because of its propensity for “oxidation”, “bad” or LDL Cholesterol is dangerous. However, the scientifically formulated Proprietary Antioxidant Blend inhibits this oxidation.

Other Ingredients: Gelatin, stearic acid, FD&C Red #40, FD&C Blue #1

Recommended Use: Take 3 capsules daily. Do not exceed 3 capsules per day.

Warnings: Keep out of reach of children.

Product > Heart-Rx, Heart Supplement, Hi-Tech, 120 Tablets

Heart Rx Heart Supplement is the ultimate antioxidant and cardiovascular support formula. Heart Rx Heart Supplement contains Idebenone and other Essential Heart Co-Factors.

Idebenone [2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(10-hydroxydecyl)-1,4-benzoquinine] is a synthetic analog of CoQ10, the vital cell membrane antioxidant and essential constituent of th ATP-producing mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). Idebenone is a potent antioxidant, with the ability to operate under low oxygen tension situations. Because of its ability to to inhibit lipid peroxidation, idebenone protects cell membranes and mitochondria from oxidative damage. Its antioxidant properties protect against cerebral ischemia and nerve damage in the central nervous system. This compound has also been shown to stimulate nerve growth factor, a characteristic that could be important in the treatment of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Idebenone is six times more potent than CoQ10 in its antioxidant abilities. In fact, studies indicate the idebenone is 400 times more effective than Vitamin E or vinpocetine as a free radical quencher. Idebenone protects under hypoxic conditions, a situation where CoQ10 acts quite the opposite. This may be the most advantageous property of idebenone. When the body's oxygen level drops, such as during a heart attack, stroke, or surgery, low-oxygen conditions can cause a situation where CoQ10 may stop acting as an antioxidant and, instead, start producing free radicals. Idebenone however continues to function in low-oxygen environments, preventing damage to the body when it is most vulnerable. Superior low-oxygen performance is why idebenone is used to safeguard organs during transplants. In fact, idebenone is eight times more potent than aspirin as a blood-clot inhibitor.

Idebenone has been shown to increase Nerve Growth Factor and enhanced Cholinergic Activity, thereby showing it to have cognitive enhancement abilities. German studies showed that 90mg of idebenone administered daily to Alzheimer patients, thereafter showed statistically significant improvement. As a result of the studies, idebenone is being used in the treatment of senile dementias, particularly Alzheimer's disease. Idebenone has been deemed safe and effective, in fact, for the treatment of Alzheimer's patients due to this recent landmark study. It's been shown that if you can catch and treat it early before it becomes a major problem, idebenone can retard the natural progression of the disease.

Idebenone is a primary constituent of the Heart-Rx formula. Heart-Rx actually contains a significant dosage of 100mg of idebenone per tablet, along with multiple co-factors to improve blood and nutrient flow to the heart muscle.

Heart-Rx also contains: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Niacinamide (vitamin B3), Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Phytosterols and Hawthorn Berry Extract.
