Ingredient Summary

Lycopene The antioxidant lycopene is an open-chain unsaturated carotenoid found primarily in tomatos and other plants that imparts the red color.

Vitamin C (Ascorbate) Vitamin C as an ascorbate is an essential nutrient required for metabolic reactions. Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant, an ascorbate peroxidase substrate, an enzyme cofactor for the biosynthesis of many biochemicals and an electron donor for enzymes. The active form of vitamin C is the ascorbate ion, a strong reducing agent that gets converted to its oxidized form, L-dehydroascorbate in the body by enzymes and glutathione. It is a weak sugar acid structurally related to glucose, which naturally occurs either attached to a hydrogen ion (ascorbic acid), or to a mineral ion (a mineral ascorbate). The biological halflife for vitamin C is about 30 minutes in blood plasma.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Mononitrate) An essential vitamin necessary for proper metabolism of sugar and starch to provide energy in the body. Thiamine also functions in the nerves, brain and heart, digestive and the whole nervous system, and is important for the maintenance of healthy, clear, luminous eyes, hair and skin.

Shavegrass (Equisetum arvense) An herb that contains large amounts of silica and lesser amounts of calcium.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin, Inositol hexinicotinate) Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin, whose derivatives play essential roles in energy metabolism in the cell and DNA repair.

Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5 phosphate) 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.

Folic Acid [VitaminB-9, M] (Folacin) Folic acid AKA folate (the anion form) are forms of the water-soluble Vitamin B-9, which helps convert vitamin B12 to a coenzyme form, helps synthesize nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) essential for the growth and reproduction of all body cells, essential to the formation of red blood cells by its action on the bone marrow, and aids in amino acid metabolism.

Vitamin D3 (D3 from Cholecalciferol) The sun’s ultraviolet rays penetrate the skin, and, through a local chemical reaction followed by systemic absorption and subsequent metabolism, a prohormone called 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin is eventually converted into circulating vitamin D. Vitamin D is a fat soluble prohormone (a broken-open steroids called a secosteroid), that is converted in the liver and kidney to become the hormone 1,25-D (physiologically active form of a protein bound vitamin D). Vitamin D is necessary for utilization of calcium and phosphorus and iin the body as a hormone. The two important forms of vitamin D are cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), which is identical to that derived from a cholesterol molecule and synthesized by sunlight on the skin and ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2), a plant analogue derived from the diet. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) a natural dietary secosteroid to our body's internal 1,25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 is essential for bone growth and maintenance of bone density

Calcium (Coral carbonate,Ascorbate) Calcium (Ca) is an essential alkaline nutrient element required by every cell in the body and is the most abundent mineral in the body.

Boron (Amino Acid Chelate) The element Boron is an essential mineral. Boron plays a role in cell-membrane functions that influence response to hormone action, trans-membrane signaling and trans-membrane movement of regulatory ions (i.e. parathyroid secretes a hormone that contains boron). Boron acts as a metabolic regulator in several enzymatic systems (i.e. boron inhibit the activity of serine protease enzymes).

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.

Potassium (Amino Acid Chelate) The essential alkali mineral Potassium is the major cation inside the cells and important in the maintainence of fluid and electrolyte balance in all body systems.

Zinc (L-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 an essential nutrient found primarily in the bloodstream, as a co-factor in various enzymes, and in copper-based body pigments. Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the digestive tract so a dietary 10:1 balance must be maintained to prevent a deficiency.

Manganese (Ascorbate) Manganese is an essential trace nutrient whose ions function as cofactors for a number of enzyme activities and is required in all our body's cells and our friendly bacteria lactobacilli.

Germanium (Sesquioxide) Eleuthero root has active constituents that contain steroid-like compounds (eleutherosides) that counteract the alarm state of stress response.

Selenium (L-Selenomethioine) 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.

Plant Derived Trace Mineral Complex Plant Derived Trace Minerals from a humic shale that contains plant derived hydrophilic minerals which are very small in size compared to metallic minerals which are ground up from the rocks and soil with a high humic acid content.

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) Cysteine is a conditionally essential sulfur bearing amino acid, derived by the combination of methionine and pyridoxal 5 phosphate (vitamin B6). N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of L-cysteine wherein an acetyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom, and the precursor form to glutathione.

N-acetyl l-carnitine [Vitamin B-20] L-carnitine is a non-essential amino acid normally synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine in the presence of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the kidneys and liver. Carnitine occurs naturally in the body within the inner membrane of mitochondria where it is responsible for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria matrix to be oxidized for energy.

Grape (Skin Extract) Grape Skin extract a Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol derived from grapes, mulberries and peanuts that show a decrease in the activity of cytokines.

Lipoic Acid Complex [Vitamin N] (R Lipoic, Alpha Lipoic) A vitamin-like substance and a potent anti-oxidant that enhances the effect of other anti-oxidants. It helps maintain levels of Glutathione, an important anti-oxidant. It regenerates damaged nerves. It is a neurological antioxidant that chelates free iron. It improves mitochondrial function (mitochondria are the energy-producing units of cells).

Protease (Aspergillus oryzae) Protease refers to a group of enzymes also called proteolytic enzymes or proteinases whose primary function is the breakdown (catabolism by hydrolysis) of specific peptide bonds of amino acids and proteins in a polypeptide chain.

Alpha Galactosidase (Aspergillus niger) Alpha Galactosidase breakdown (catabolism by hydrolysis) the chemical bonds (alpha 1-6 bonds) found in the carbohydrates; melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose most often associated with the legumes (plants).
