Ingredient Summary
Beta Sistosterol ß-sitosterol are plant sterols found
in all plants and herbs containing a chemical structures similar to that of
cholesterol. Phytosterols mechanism involved with normalizing cholesterol in
the body follows : the incorporation of cholesterol into micelles in the gastrointestinal
tract is inhibited, decreasing the overall amount of cholesterol absorbed. This
helps to control body total cholesterol levels, as well as modify HDL, LDL and
TAG levels.
Saw Palmetto Berry Extract (Serenoa repens) Saw Palmetto berry
is rich in fatty acids and important phytosterols.
l-Alanine Alanine is a non essential amino acid, important
for the metabolism of tryptophan and pyridoxine. Alanine helps regulate blood
sugar and is necessary for the promotion of proper blood glucose levels from
dietary protein. Alanine is involved in gluconeogenesis - the manufacture of
glucose from alanine by the liver.
Pumpkin Seed Extract Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of
essential fatty acids, amino acids, minerals and vitamins. Pumpkin Seed are
rich in phytosterols at about 270-289 mg/100 g.
Nettle Leaf Extract (Urtica Dioca) A plants of the genus Urtica
where stinging nettle is a species containing important phytonutrients including
a histamine, acetylcholine and serotonin.
Sarsparilla Root Extract (Smilax officinalis) An adaptagenic
tropical plant containing rich flavonoids.
Pygeum Bark Extract (pygeum africanum) The constituents of
ferulic esters reduce levels of the hormone prolactin while blocking cholesterol
in some glands. Pygeum extract comes from the bark of a large evergreen tree
found in central and southern Africa that contain several important compounds
includimg beta-sitosterol, other plant estrogens, triterpenes, ferulic acids
and more.
Yohimbe Bark Extract (Pausinystalia yohimbe) Yohimbe increases
fatty acid mobilization, decreasing fat synthesis. Yohimbe is an herb derived
from the bark of the yohimbe tree primarily found in the West African.
Quercetin The plant pigment quercetin is a dominant flavonoid
found in found mainly in citrus fruit. In the body quercetin has anti-inflammatory
activity with direct inhibition of several initial processes of inflammation.
l-Glutamic Acid Glutamic Acid (Glutamate), a non essential
amino acid, a precursor to Glutamine and GABA, is a key molecule in cellular
metabolism serving as a metabolic fuel for other functional roles in the body.
Lycopene The antioxidant lycopene is an open-chain unsaturated
carotenoid found primarily in tomatos and other plants that imparts the red
color.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin, whose
derivatives play essential roles in energy metabolism in the cell and DNA repair.
Niacin (not niacinamide) reduces very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), a precursor
of low density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol, secretion from
the liver, and inhibits cholesterol synthesis. Niacin can help increase the
level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol in blood.
Niacinamide does not have anti-cholesterol properties.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal 5 phosphate) Pyridoxil 5'-phosphate acts
as a coenzyme in all transamination reactions, and in some decarboxylation and
deamination reactions of amino acids. The bioactive metabolite of Vitamin B-6,
Pyridoxil 5'-phosphate is a coenzyme of many enzymatic reactions. It is the
active form of Vitamin B-6 which comprises three natural organic compounds,
pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine.
L-Glycine Glycine is a non essential amino acid utilized by
the liver in the synthesis of other nonessential amino acids and part of the
tripeptide glutathione. Glycine is a hypolipidemic agent (it acts to reduce
lipid synthesis) and aids in the further reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides
in the blood plasma.
Magnesium (Glycinate Chelate) The element magnesium is an essential
mineral involved in over 350 biochemical actions in the body. Magnesium relaxes
smooth muscle, helps dilate blood vessels and maintains blood flow.
Zinc (Monomethionine) The second most ocurring essential nutrient
is zinc. Zinc is involved in about 3000 different protein complexes in the body.
Copper (Glycinate Chelate) Copper is required for the production
and function of hemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen through
the body. Copper is a building block for collagen and elastin, the proteins
that provide structural integrity and elasticity for tissues, organs and bones.
Copper is helpful in maintaining skin integrity and useful in wound healing.
Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the digestive tract so a dietary 10:1
balance must be maintained to prevent a deficiency. Copper is an essential nutrient
found primarily in the bloodstream, as a co-factor in various enzymes, and in
copper-based body pigments.
Selenium (L-Selenomethioine) A mineral essential for the production
of GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE, an important anti-oxidant. Selenium is an essential
trace element which functions as cofactor for reduction of antioxidant enzymes
such as glutathione peroxidases and thioredoxin reductase, and plays a role
in cellular apoptosis.
Chromium (Polynicotinate) Chromium is an essential mineral and important
to the metabolism of glucose and protein, managing cholesterol, insulin regulation,
thyroid function, and serotonin production.
