Antioxidants
Alpha
Lipoic Acid
Alpha lipoic
acid is a highly effective, biologically available
and well researched antioxidant that works in both
the fat and water soluble portions of human cells.
Lipoic acid supports healthy liver regeneration, immune
function and circulation, as well as vision and glucose
metabolism. Alpha lipoic acid also supports cardiovascular
and neurological health. Being a powerful antioxidant,
it protects and repairs cells and reduces damage caused
by oxidation. Lipoic acid also improves the effectiveness
of vitamin C and E, two well-known antioxidants.
Alpha
Lipoic Acid, 500 mg, 90 caps
|
 |
"R"-Dihydro-Lipoic
Acid
Alpha-lipoic
acid consists of two different forms (isomers) that
have vastly different properties. The “R” form
is the biologically active component (native to the
body) that is responsible for lipoic acid’s phenomenal
antioxidant effect. The “S” form is produced
from chemical manufacture and is not very biologically
active. Alpha-lipoic acid supplements consist of the “R” and “S” form
in a 50/50 ratio. That means a 100 mg alpha-lipoic
acid supplement is providing 50 mg of the biologically
active “R” form.
The human body normally produces and uses R-lipoic
acid, the active form. R-lipoic acid significantly
supports healthy inflammatory response, is a potent
free-radical scavenger and has been shown to be more
potent than the combined “R” and “S” form
that comprises alpha-lipoic acid.*
"R"-Dihydro-Lipoic
Acid, 60 caps

Extension
Antioxidant
Because no single
antioxidant can deactivate all free radicals, VRP's
Extension Antioxidant offers a multi-pronged attack,
blending a number of highly effective antioxidants
for a comprehensive and powerful defense against hydroxyl
radicals, superoxide, singlet oxygen, fatty acid peroxides
and oxidized proteins. Recommended dosage: three capsules
per day in divided doses.

E, mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols. Natural vitamin
E, the body’s premier lipid phase antioxidant
is two to five times more bioavailable than synthetic
vitamin E. Mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols are helpful
in quenching free radicals in the brain cells. Tocotrienols
are a powerful vitamin E fraction that may be 40 times
more potent than an equivalent amount of standard vitamin
E. Recommended dosage: one to two capsules per day.

MSM
As people age, systemic inflammation
can inflict degenerative effects throughout the body.
A primary cause of this destructive cascade is the
production of cell-signaling chemicals known as inflammatory
cytokines. Along with these dangerous cytokines,
imbalances of hormone-like messengers called prostaglandins
also contribute to inflammatory processes. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane
or dimethyl sulfone) is a sulfur-containing molecule
found in various plants and some body tissues. It
is a natural and efficient source of the sulfur that
is used by many of the body’s structural molecules.

Strontium
Strontium is a naturally occurring
mineral important for maintaining strong bones, particularly
in postmenopausal women.* Solid bone health involves
building bone mass while preventing bone loss and
research shows that strontium actively helps both.*
Bones are a complex structure of proteins and several
minerals, and strontium is one important support
mineral. For optimal utilization, do not take strontium
with calcium-containing supplements or foods.

Resveratrol
Activate your longevity
genes with new Extension Resveratrol, delivering 300mg
of all natural trans-resveratrol, the most exciting
longevity discovery of the decade. Resveratrol, in
combination with the bioflavonoid quercetin and the
polyphenols from red wine, activate a family of genes
called Sirtuins (SIRT-1), which are known as the “longevity
genes.” These “guardian genes” protect
and repair cells and enhance cellular survival. Emerging
research reveals an ever-increasing array of potential
resveratrol benefits to prevent the loss of vital metabolic
functions required for long life. This advanced synergistic
formula will support a healthy cardiovascular system
and key cognitive pathways. Extension Resveratrol provides
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardio protective and
neuro protective functions.

Red
Yeast Rice Extract
Controlling total blood cholesterol
levels can be an important step to lowering one’s
risk for developing CHD. For most people, modifications
in lifestyle may be enough to normalize cholesterol
levels. Such modifications can include dietary changes,
moderate exercise, and regular use of antioxidants
and other nutrients, such as Red Yeast Rice Extract.
Red Yeast Rice Extract may cause muscle cramps, weakness
and fatigue. These symptoms are likely due to the extract's
inhibition of CoQ10 activity, and may be relieved by
increasing the dosage of CoQ10.

Energy Enhancement
D-Ribose
People suffering from
cardiac and other debilitating health problems often
exhibit severely depleted cellular energy in heart
and muscle tissue, which can greatly impair normal
daily functions.* The primary source of energy for
all cellular processes is a molecule known as ATP (adenosine
triphosphate). D-ribose, a carbohydrate molecule found
in every living organism, facilitates the production
of ATP. In studies of healthy athletes as well as those
who have suffered injury to the heart muscle, supplying
fatigued muscle cells with D-ribose quickly restored
ATP levels to normal. By helping to rapidly refill
depleted energy stores, D-ribose may be especially
beneficial for people coping with cardiac and other
problems marked by impaired cellular energy production.*
D-Ribose Caps and D-Ribose
Powder can help speed energy recovery, increase energy
reserves, and maintain healthy energy levels in heart
and muscle tissue.*.

to get where it works in the intestinal tract; Culturelle® has
been shown to do just that. Culturelle is guaranteed
to provide at least 10 billion live active cells of
Lactobacillus GG in every capsule. Extensive clinical
study in the US and Europe has shown that Culturelle® restores
levels of ‘good’ bacteria, supports optimal
intestinal function, strengthens immune health and
reduces unpleasant side effects of medications. Recommended
dosage: Adults – one capsule per day; Children – 1⁄2

Hormone Support
DHEA
Of all the body’s
hormones, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is found in
the greatest amounts. Studies show that DHEA levels
drop significantly in men and women after age 35. It
is a metabolic precursor to other hormones and is critical
to the optimal function of almost every component of
the body. DHEA is the crucial natural counter balance
to immune suppressive, catabolic hormone cortisol.
We recommend that DHEA be taken once daily in the morning
to mimic the body’s normal rhythm. Recommended
dosage: 10 to 25 mg for women, 25 to 100 mg for men.

Pregnenolone
Produced by
the body’s adrenal glands, pregnenolone is a
direct precursor of both DHEA and progesterone. Pregnenolone
is the building block for all other steroid hormones,
and levels dramatically drop after age 30. Research
indicates that restoration of pregnenolone to levels
of healthy young adults may have a positive effect
on memory, mood and energy. Take once daily in the
morning or at night to mimic the body’s normal
rhythm. Recommended dosage: 10-100 mg per day.

DIM
(diindolylmethane)
BioDIM® contains
DIM (diindolylmethane), a phytonutrient found in broccoli,
cauliflower, cabbage and brussel sprouts. Studies show
it works indirectly by changing the way estrogen is
metabolized, from the ‘bad’ pathway to
the ‘good’ pathway.* Consequently, BioDIM
may play a role in the way the body copes with estrogens*
Dosage varies depending upon desired results.

Mild
Silver Protein
By 1939, as penicillin
and other antibiotic drugs began to replace silver
colloids, the American Medical Association recognized
at least 96 different proprietary silver-based products
in clinical use at the time. Even today, silver sulfadiazine
is considered by most medical experts to be the topical
antiseptic of choice for patients with extensive burns.
These silver formulas represent a revolutionary form
of stabilized colloidal silver atoms.
Recommended Dosage: For general infections use one-half
teaspoon in one ounce water, twice daily.
