  • SPM Advanced is a revolutionary nutritional product developed through advanced fractionation technology featuring standardized levels of SPMs (specialized pro-resolving mediators) found in fish oil. SPMs play a key role in the resolution (i.e., completion) of an immune response, according to extensive preclinical research.

  • While vitamin D has long been known to assist calcium absorption, it is vitamin K, through its carboxylation of osteocalcin, which guides this calcium to bones and prevents their absorption into organs, joint spaces and arteries. Vitamin K occurs in 3 main forms: K1 (phylloquinone), derived from foods such as green leafy vegetables, K2 (menaquinone) which originates from bacteria; a third form, K3 (menadione), is a synthetic analogue. Numerous studies have shown that vitamin K2 is the more bioavailable form of the nutrient, and more powerfully influences bone building than K1. There are two forms of vitamin K2 commonly used in supplements: MK-4 and MK-7. The MK-7 form has been shown to have six times the activity of MK-4 in the blood. MK-7 has also been found to remain in the blood approximately nine times as long as the MK-4 (8 hours versus 72 hours), making it the optimal form of K2 for health. A growing body of research shows that when it comes to bone health, ensuring optimal intake of vitamin K is a critical piece of the puzzle. New research is focusing on the synergistic relationship between vitamin K (specifically, vitamin K2) and vitamin D3, especially in terms of bone strength and cardiovascular health. Through its activation of the protein osteocalcin, vitamin K helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the mineral matrix in bone. In addition, vitamin K has been found to help maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, a cell that breaks down the bone matrix. Thus, vitamin K and vitamin D not only share similar qualities, but also act synergistically with one another within the body. The Vitamin K2 with D3 formula includes 45 mcg of vitamin K2 delivered as MK-7 and 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per capsule, for optimal absorption by the body.

  • Activated Magnesium

    120 Capsules

    Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the body and is found naturally in many foods, like green leafy vegetables. It is also found in over-the-counter medications, such as laxatives. The average American intake of magnesium, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES Study) is critically low: Many Americans fail to consume the estimated average requirement (EAR) established by the Institute of Medicine. In addition, more than 57% of the population does not meet the United States Department of Agriculture requirements for magnesium in the diet. Intracellular magnesium levels are decreased by excessive intake of alcohol, salt, coffee, phosphoric acid found in sodas, diets high in calcium and high stress levels. Because of widespread nature of magnesium deficiencies, adequate daily intake of magnesium is critical for proper hydration, stress response, muscle relaxation, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, optimal bone mineral density, and blood sugar regulation. Reacted Magnesium provides three unique forms of highly-absorbed magnesium to ensure maximum absorption of this important macromineral. Most magnesium supplements use only a single source of magnesium, which can easily overwhelm a single pathway of absorption and limit uptake. Reacted Magnesium takes advantage of three unique pathways of absorption by providing magnesium as di-magnesium malate, magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate for enhanced absorption, improved utilization and gastrointestinal (GI) comfort. Some individuals, who take other forms of magnesium supplements, often experience GI side effects, including gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation or a combination of these symptoms. The forms of magnesium used in Reacted Magnesium preserve GI comfort while maximizing absorption and restoring magnesium levels in the body.

  • N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid that boosts antioxidant function and is a source of the conditionally essential amino acid L-cysteine. It has also been found to raise glutathione levels. Glutathione is an important antioxidant used in many different metabolic processes within the body. Maintaining adequate levels is important to maintaining the health of the respiratory, hepatic, and immune systems. It is also important in supporting antioxidant protection of lipids and proteins and supporting the normal response to inflammation. NAC is commonly used as an agent to help clear sinus and airway congestion caused by mucus overproduction. It also supports antioxidant and cellular detoxification pathways in the body. Each capsule of the N-Acetyl Cysteine formulation includes 500 mg of this versatile amino acid.

  • DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and is a precursor to both androgens and estrogens. Androgens and estrogens help regulate fat metabolism and stabilize energy levels. Additionally, normal androgen and estrogen levels are the keystone to healthy endocrine and reproductive function. Multiple dosage forms are offered because the amount of DHEA needed to restore normal hormone levels can be dependent on individual biochemistry, age, and gender. Nutrascriptives® DHEA is micronized, meaning it has been ground to a very small size to improve absorption by the body. DHEA is fat-soluble, so this supplement should be consumed with fat to maximize absorption. Nutrascriptives® DHEA-SR is a micronized sustained release formula that has been formulated to maintain DHEA levels throughout the day.

  • Inflamma-Shield

    90 Capsules

    Inflammation is a natural part of the body’s immune response, a cascade triggered to protect the body and maintain normal tissue repair. This physiological response is part of the innate immune or non-specific immune system, a first line of defense comprising the cells and mechanisms that defend against unwanted organisms in a non-specific manner. The inflammatory cascade is mediated by eicosanoids, which have been shown to balance inflammation and immunemodulating cytokines. Inflamma-Shield provides a blend of nutrients which support a healthy inflammatory cycle by balancing eicosanoid and cytokine metabolism and inhibiting the activities and synthesis of a wide variety of compounds implicated in pain and inflammation. Traumeric is formulated specifically to support healthy inflammatory balance and musculoskeletal health. Inflamma-Shield includes key ingredient turmeric, standardized to include 95% of curcumin. Inflamma-Shield also includes the pineapple enzyme bromelain, as well as flavonoids quercetin and rutin for full-spectrum, high-intensity support to maintain a balanced cycle of inflammation.
