Recommended Pharmaceutical Grade Supplements

ActivEssentials™ for Women is a combination of four targeted nutritional formulas packaged together to provide convenient and comprehensive nutritional support.

MedCaps Menopause™ is a unique combination blend that is formulated to provide nutritional targeted nourishment for women during menopause. It features specially selected herbs and nutrients that support the adrenal glands’ adaptive response as well as support circulation, relaxation and overall well-being. Featuring a non soy derived source of isoflavones, MedCaps Menopause may also beneficially influence estrogen receptor function.

RegeneMax™ provides ch-OSA® (choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid), that helps naturally nourish your body’s beauty proteins. Regular orthosilicic acid is highly unstable, leading it to form polymers. These polymers are too large for the human body to absorb. But the patented “choline stabilization” technology in RegeneMax prevents the polymers from forming, ensuring optimal absorption. RegeneMax has been formulated with clinically proven ch-OSA for your assurance.

Hormone Protect™ is an ideal combination of DIM (diindolylmethane) and SGS™ (glucoraphanin) that helps protect estrogen-sensitive tissues by promoting healthy estrogen metabolism and supporting detoxification and neutralization of harmful estrogen metabolites and xenoestrogens.

Clinical Applications

• Support Healthy Testosterone Levels• Support Healthy Libido and Performance• Support Overall Vitality• Optimize Physical Strength and Endurance• Support Sense of Healthy Mental and Physical

Well-Being

TestoPlex™ is a proprietary formula that includes synergistic, antioxidant-rich, bioactive extracts that support vitality and general physical and mental well-being. It has a patented green oat extract and unique mungbean sprout powder. Salivary assays have shown that the combination of ingredients in TestoPlex free up serum-bound testosterone to optimize availability of this important hormone.

Estro Harmony™ is for women who want relief from menopausal hot flashes and support for breast health. Research suggests the ingredients in this formula can also benefit cardiovascular status and bone remodeling.

This all-natural formula delivers a proprietary blend of plant lignan extract and 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) from hops, at clinically relevant levels, to support the body’s natural process of healthy aromatase activity and exert phytoestrogen (e.g., enterolactone) and antioxidant activity.

Melatonin CR is a vegetarian formula with

a biphasic delivery system that releases

melatonin quickly and then steadily.

Melatonin is naturally produced in the

pineal gland in response to changes in

light exposure; it helps promote healthy

sleep patterns as well as antioxidant and

immune activities. Melatonin CR can

support these functions by helping to

maintain normal levels of melatonin in the

body.

PMS Soothe™ is a comprehensive blend of Native American and Chinese herbs traditionally used to provide balance and support for a healthy menstrual cycle.

RelaxMax™ is an innovative formula in

the form of cherry-flavored, powdered

drink mix. It contains a blend of

ingredients that supports the body's

natural synthesis of catecholamines, the

inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA,

hormonal balance, and healthy glucose

metabolism. RelaxMax aims to promote

a calm, relaxed, well-balanced

emotional and physiological state.

The XYMOGEN Mitochondrial Renewal Kit (MRK) is formulated to support and promote mitochondrial biogenesis and function. MRK supplies three active, orally bioavailable formulations—N.O.max ER™, Resveratin™ Plus, and ALAmax CR™—which function synergistically to support the critical role that mitochondria play in metabolism. The patented functional components found in the MRK are safe, well-tolerated, and have been uniquely prepared to enhance both absorption and overall bioavailability in order to maximize patient benefit and satisfaction.

ProbioMax DDS™ is a chewable probiotic designed to activate in the oral cavity for support of healthy teeth and gums.

As you chew it releases the safe and powerful DDS-18™ strain of Streptococcus salivarius—a beneficial bacterium that normally occurs in a healthy oral cavity. S salivarius DDS-18 then attaches to cells in the oral cavity and colonizes, positively affecting the bacterial population therein and naturally defending the teeth and gums.
