Coleus forskohlii is an ancient Ayurvedic plant and member of the mint and lavender family, which grows in the mountains of Asia. Recent research has shown that the active ingredient in coleus is forskolin, which plays a major role in a variety of important cellular functions, including inhibiting histamine release, relaxing muscles, increasing thyroid function, improving lung function and increasing fat-burning activity. Though scientists are only just confirming these many benefits of coleus, most people are very excited about its potential for aiding in fat loss.

Forskolin increases an enzyme called adenylate cyclase, which increases levels of another enzyme called cAMP (cyclic AMP), which is found in fat. cAMP then stimulates another enzyme, hormone sensitive lipase, to burn fat. Additionally, by a similar mechanism using cAMP, coleus increases thyroid hormone production and release, thereby increasing the body's metabolism, to burn more calories.

High Absorption CoQ10 contains pure, vegetarian coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 is a nutrient that supports heart function and promotes energy production in cells.* Bioperine, an herbal extract derived from black pepper fruit, promotes absorption of nutrients in the GI tract. Preliminary studies have shown that Bioperine increases CoQ10 absorption. Since the coenzyme is lipophilic (fat-loving) its absorption is enhanced in the presence of fats. However, when taken as a supplement apart from meals, the absorption of some formulations is lower.

CoQ10 is found in the mitochondia (our energy producers) of each of our cells in the body, but a role beyond the mitochondria is also acknowledged, with CoQ10 acting as a potent antioxidant it reduces free radicals, which helps widen blood vessels (vasodilation). While the majority of research has focussed on the role of CoQ10 in cardiovascular health (especially heart failure and high cholesterol), research also links coenzyme Q10 to benefits for Parkinson's and other mitochondrial diseases, diabetes, cancer (breast, lung and prostate), male infertility, and kidney failure.

• Boosts Cellular Energy Production
• Strengthens and Protects the Heart
• Supports Immune Function
• Antioxidant Protection
• Benefits The Gums

Statin drugs, prescribed to lower cholesterol, are known to lower CoQ10 levels in the body. Therefore, supplementation of CoQ10 is strongly encouraged.

Red rice yeast has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for centuries to help blood circulation and ease stomach problems. It is made by growing red yeast on white rice, and then powdering it.

Red rice yeast has been proven to lower levels of bad cholesterol in the blood as effectively as most pharmaceutical drugs that are prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. In addition, red rice yeast has been proven in a number of research studies to help lower high levels of triglycerides in the blood. Like cholesterol, trigycerides can affect blood circulation by clogging blood vessels in the body. Red rice yeast (or, as it’s more often called – red yeast rice) contains a substance called monacolin K which inhibits the production of cholesterol in the liver. This is exactly the same action that prescription drugs like lovastatin (Mexacor) and Lipitor have on the production of cholesterol.

The concentration of monacolin K in red rice yeast is considerably lower than the amount of l ovastatin usually prescribed as a daily dose to lower cholesterol – but it still reduced LDL cholesterol levels by as much as 17% in just 8 weeks in a study at UCLA. This has led some doctors and researchers to speculate that other chemicals in red rice yeast (specifically sterols) may boost the effect of monacolin K or actively reduce cholesterol themselves.

At UCLA, researchers tested the effects of a red rice yeast product that contained red rice yeast produced by a proprietary method that increased the amount of monacolin K to near pharmaceutical levels. The results were unmistakable. Those in the study that took RRY reduced LDL cholesterol levels by as much as 21% over the 12 weeks of the study, and reduced triglycerides. In contrast, those who took a placebo averaged a reduction of 1%. This is the most well-documented study and the one most often cited when referring to red rice yeast.

The newest research in the American Journal of Cardiology (June 2008), was with 5,000 patients of both sexes who had already had a heart attack. They were divided into two groups and randomly allocated to be treated either with an extract of the red yeast rice, called XZK, or a placebo. They were then followed for an average of four and a half years.

The research team, led by Dr Daniel Capuzzi of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, counted how many patients in each group suffered a serious second heart attack (including those who died from one). They found that the risk was reduced by almost half in the group given XZK.

Lignans are phytonutrients found in unrefined grains, legumes (such as soy beans), certain vegetables and seeds. Flax is the richest source of lignans, providing 75 – 800 times more lignans than most other plant sources. Lignans are phytoestrogens, or naturally-occurring plant estrogens, that can have a balancing effect on hormones in both men and women. Lignans also exhibit strong antioxidant activities which helps prevent aging and ward off cancer. Flax contains the most concentrated source of natural lignans. Oils are removed so no refrigeration is required.
Lignans may benefit:
• Prostate health
• Bone health
• Breast health
• Cancer (protect against)
• Menopause symptoms

Glucosamine  is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Glucosamine sulfate administration has shown in clinical trials to be beneficial in stimulating the regeneration of connective tissue.

Sulfur deficiencies are associated with slow wound healing, brittle finger and toe nails, brittle hair,  gastrointestinal problems,  inflammatory problems, lung disfunction, and immune disfunction.

Maca strengthens and balances the endocrine system of both sexes. Its action focuses on the hypothalamus/pituitary axis, which in turn governs the intricate hormonal (endocrine) system of the body. Not only can the reproductive system be re-energized by Maca, but the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas and the adrenal glands also benefit by becoming balanced and stronger as it reaps the benefits of excellent glandular nutrition. Maca can help relieve symptoms such as infertility, frigidity, PMS and menopausal hot flashes all in a safe, effective and natural way.
