Alpha Lipoic Acid 60ct (Sci-Fit) ALA

Alpha Lipoic Acid 60ct (Sci-Fit) ALA

Sci-Fit Alpha Lipoic Acid Each bottle of Sci-Fit Alpha Lipoic Acid contains 60 capsules. Sci-Fit’s Alpha Lipolic Acid (ALA), also known as thioctic acid, is a disulfide compound that is a cofactor in vital energy producing reactions in the body furthermore, it is a powerful antioxidant. Alpha Lipolic Acid has been shown to increase ATP production in the mitochondria due to its role in the oxidation of pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate, leading to higher energy production. Alpha Lipoic Acid is extremely neuroprotective. In Germany, Alpha Lipoic Acid is an approved treatment for diabetic neuropathy. Moreover, there is work suggestive of some mild benefits in the treatment of several neurodegenerative disorders, including but not limited to, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington’s Disease. Alpha Lipoic Acid is also cardio protective. There is evidence that Alpha Lipoic Acid may prevent or slow the development of Atherosclerosis. Various animal studies have further suggested that Alpha Lipoic Acid can prevent or reduce tissue damage during heart attacks or strokes. Alpha Lipoic Acid also helps prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. ALA may be an anti-aging substance. There is work suggestive that it slows the aging of the brain and is an anti-aging substance in general. One study with animals concluded: “Our present findings using rats would suggest that ALA supplementation may be a safe and effective means to improve general metabolic activity and increase antioxidant status, affording increased protection against external oxidative and xenobiotic insults with age.”

Dermalex-MD 1.25oz Dark Eye Circle Cream

Dermalex-MD 1.25oz Dark Eye Circle Cream

Watch Dark Circles Fade Away… There are dark circles, and then there are stubborn bruise-blue marks underneath the eyes that just won’t go away. You may have tried any number of creams, gels and concoctions to get rid of your dark eye circles. But now there’s a product that’s designed specifically to eliminate dark circles: Dermalex-MD. What are dark circles under the eyes? Dark circles are formed by the same biological process that causes bruises to turn dark blue/purple. When something strikes your skin, small blood vessels are ruptured. Blood leaks into the surrounding tissue. Your body has a system in place to deal with this, and an enzymatic reaction starts breaking down the leaked blood so your body can metabolize it. A side-effect of this process is that the waste products are the familiar dark purple-blue of a bruise. The delicate skin around the eyes (also called peri-orbital skin) is very thin. This skin is nourished by a web of capillaries. From time to time, these capillaries leak small amounts of blood. As the body’s enzymatic reaction goes to work, the same purple-blue coloration is produced beneath the skin, leading to dark circles. (It’s more visible under the eyes because the skin there is so delicate and thin, and in many people, more translucent.) Dermalex-MD works by accelerating the enzymatic process that gets rid of the purplish coloration. Other ingredients strengthen capillaries, effectively helping to prevent dark circles before they even start. Start getting rid of dark circles - order Dermalex-MD today! What causes dark under eye circles? Most people think dark under-eye circles are caused by staying up too late. This isn’t the case: in fact, lack of sleep makes the skin around the eyes paler, allowing the purplish color to be more visible. Anything that makes your face paler (illness, menstruation, etc.) make dark circles look darker. Spending time in the sun also makes dark circles look darker. Allergies can cause dark circles to appear (sometimes simply due to rubbing the eyes!). The primary “cause” of dark circles is hereditary. You inherit from your parents the genes that determine the strength of the capillaries in your skin — determining exactly how “leaky” these capillaries are. Furthermore, heredity can determine the thickness and opacity of the skin around your eyes, which can make dark circles look even worse. Fortunately, Dermalex-MD can help correct the mistakes made by nature. If you’re plagued with persistent, noticeable dark circles, try Dermalex-MD today and see the difference!

Lepti-Trim Meal Replacement Shakes with Leptin 15.87 oz

Lepti-Trim Meal Replacement Shakes with Leptin 15.87 oz

Lepti-Trim Meal Replacement Shakes with Leptin (formerly Body By Design Meal Replacement or Slim Factors) An easy meal replacement. Includes ingredients and nutrition to help metabolize fat, improve muscle tone, curb cravings and provide energy… for inch-loss beyond the power of the capsules alone. It’s like getting a “Slim boost” several times during the day. Lepti-TrimT also contains : Complete protein, Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Minerals and antioxidants for a truly complete meal. Comes in Vanilla and Chocolate. Lepti-Trim Meal Replacement Shakes with Leptin can be an important part of your overall weight-management strategy especially if you are committed to weight loss and reducing calories; increasing your protein intake while lowering your carbs; and building and reshaping your body into the slim person you know and you can be. There are four major purposes for the Lepti-Trim Meal Replacement Shakes: weight loss use as a meal replacement energy boosting and blood sugar balance World Class Nutrition.com thinks this product an important addition to the Body By Design Program. “You will lose more weight than ever before if you follow our sensible guidelines,” says Lepti-Trim creator Anthony Kleinsmith, Ph.D. “People are telling us that the drink not only tastes wonderful but that they are also losing one or two sizes in their clothing,” says Kleinsmith. “They’re mixing it in the morning and having it for breakfast, then another at lunch with a sensible meal. Not only does the accelerator drink supply essential nutrients required for optimal nutrition, it is extremely high in protein and low in carbohydrates and fat. Let’s look at some of it’s key ingredients: Key Shake Ingredients: Not only does the Lepti-Trim Shake supply essential nutrients required for optimal nutrition, it is extremely high in protein and low in carbohydrates and fat. Let’s look at some of its key ingredients: Each serving supplies five grams of Immune Power’s 100% First-milking Colostrum, (look for the Immune Tree Certified seal with Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith’s name) one of nature’s most complete foods, providing not only additional leptin and insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), but also all essential amino acids. Something else about colostrum that you should know: it makes all of the nutrients within its matrix more bioavailable to the human body. Colostrum’s nutrient-rich composition wasn’t designed by nature to be wasted but, rather, maximally utilized. Thus, the other nutrients included (in both Body by Design products) are also able to take advantage of colostrum’s protein based transport molecules to make sure they are maximally utilized. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a fatty acid that affects fat metabolism and is being shown to influence the balance between body fat and muscle. CLA has been shown to be an effective supplement to aid in the conversion of abdominal fat to lean muscle mass and is used extensively by bodybuilders and for weight loss. “Diets containing CLA reduce adipose mass in various depots of experimental animals,” note researchers in the January 2003 issue of the Journal of Nutrition. “In addition, CLA delays the onset of diabetes in the ZDF rat model for obesitylinked type 2 diabetes mellitus.” One serving provides 1200 mg. Garcinia cambogia contains the active ingredient known as HCA (hydroxycitric acid), which naturally curbs excessive appetite and prevents the body from turning extra calories into fat. It supports the storage of glycogen in the liver and muscles rather than as fat and activates thermogenesis for the burning of excess fat. “A growing body of evidence demonstrates the efficacy of Garcinia cambogia derived natural (-)-hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in weight management by curbing appetite and inhibiting body fat biosynthesis,” note researchers from the Department of Pharmacy Sciences, Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, Omaha, Nebraska. “Furthermore, HCA-SX can.also increase [serotonin] availability.in a manner similar to that of SRRIs [serotoninre- uptake inhibitors such as Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft], and thus may prove beneficial in controlling appetite, as well as treatment of depression, insomnia, migraine headaches and other serotonin deficient conditions.” One serving provides 1,000 mg. Suma (Pfaffia paniculata) is an adaptogenic herb from the Amazon rain forest. It has numerous active compounds that have been used for centuries by the native people, to combat a wide variety of conditions. It is known as Para Toda (which means “for everything”). One of the active ingredients, betaecdysterone, is highly anabolic and has been used by athletes to enhance muscle building and endurance. Suma contains 19 different amino acids, a large number of electrolytes, and many trace minerals, including a high content of the mineral, germanium, which accounts for its properties as an oxygenator at the cellular level. Other active compounds include plant sterols, which support the immune system. Each serving supplies 500 mg. Taurine is a building block for all other amino acids. It is also a key component of bile, which is needed for the digestion of fats, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and the control of serum cholesterol levels. Taurine is vital for the utilization of several minerals, including calcium and magnesium. Each serving supplies 525 mg. Glutamine helps to build lean muscle and increase circulating levels of IGF-1. Each serving supplies 775 mg. Vitamin B Complex works to improve metabolism and reduce stress. Also found in the Lepti-Trim Meal Replacement Shake: Alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant, enhances the functions of vitamins C and E. It also assures the proper functioning of key enzymes that convert food to energy. Ingredients: Colostrum with natural Leptin and IgF-1, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, CLA 1200 mg, Garcina Cambogia, Fiber, Calcium Caseinate, Calcium Pantothenate, NonFat Dry Milk, Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Natural Flavor, Fructose, Suma, Xanthan Gum, Taurine, Glutamine, Magnesium Carbonate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Potassium, Pyrodoxine HCI, Thiamine HCI, Iron Glycerol Phosphate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Gluconate, Chromium, Molybdenum, Iodine, Selenium, Manganese, Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B9, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin D-3 For best results, we encourage the use of Lepti-Trim Daytime Capsules, Lepti-Trim Cleanse and Lepti-Trim Night Time liquid.

L-Glutamine 1000mg 120 Caps NOW Foods

L-Glutamine 1000mg 120 Caps NOW Foods

Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times, the body may require more glutamine than it can produce.

Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and also aids rapidly growing cells (immune system hymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes). In addition, Glutamine is a regulator of acid-base balance and a nitrogen transporter.* Details Serving Size: 1 capsule Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 1-3 times daily, preferably with meals. Free of: sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg or preservatives. Other Ingredients: Gelatin (capsule), Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate and Silica.
