VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is used to:

– Form an important protein used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels

– Heal wounds and form scar tissue

– Repair and maintain cartilage, bones, and teeth

Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are made when your body breaks down food or when you are exposed to tobacco smoke or radiation. The buildup of free radicals over time is largely responsible for the aging process. Free radicals may play a role in cancer, heart disease, and conditions like arthritis. The body is not able to make vitamin C on its own, and it does not store vitamin C.

B 6 – PYRIDOXINE

Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is one of 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, also help the body metabolize fats and protein. B complex vitamins are needed for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly. All B vitamins are water-soluble, meaning that the body does not store them. Vitamin B6 helps the body make several neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry signals from one nerve cell to another. It is needed for normal brain development and function, and helps the body make the hormones serotonin and norepinephrine, which influence mood, and melatonin, which helps regulate the body clock. Along with vitamins B12 and B9 (folic acid), B6 helps control levels of homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid that may be associated with heart disease. Your body needs B6 in order to absorb vitamin B12 and to make red blood cells and cells of the immune system.

B 5 – DEXAPENTHANOL

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is an essential component of coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein (ACP). In both CoA and ACP, a derivative of pantothenic acid, 4′-phosphopantetheine, forms the active portion of the compound. COA is required for the chemical reactions that produce energy from carbohydrates, fats, proteins and for the synthesis of essential fats, cholesterol, certain hormones, and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. ACP is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids. The principal functions of pantothenic acid are through CoA which is required for synthesis of essential fats, sterols, steroid hormones, melatonin, acetylcholine, and heme (a part of hemoglobin and many metabolic proteins).

B 12 – METHYLCOBALAMINE

Vitamin B12 also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the 8 B vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially a ecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. Neither fungi, plants nor animals are capable of producing vitamin B12. Only bacteria and archaea have the enzymes required for its synthesis, although many foods are a natural source of B12 because of bacterial symbiosis.

B COMPLEX

B-complex 100 is a combination of B vitamins. 100 mg of NIACIN (B3), THIAMINE (B1) and 2mg of DEXAPENTHANOL (B5), RIBOFLAVIN (B2), PYRIDOXINE (B6)

MINERALS

CALCIUM

Calcium is a mineral found in many foods. The body needs calcium to maintain strong bones and to carry out many important functions. Almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and hardness. The body also needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages between the brain and every body part. In addition, calcium is used to help blood vessels move blood throughout the body and to help release hormones and enzymes that aect almost every function in the human body.

MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Magnesium is excreted through the kidneys.

COPPER

Copper Is an important mineral that helps the human body absorb and use iron. It is also involved in the production of adenosine triphosphate that creates energy for the body. It is an important part of many enzymes, for example, superoxide dismutase. Food sources of copper include oysters and other shellfish, nuts and dried legumes. Supplemental forms include sulfate, gluconate, picolinate and is included in most multivitamins.

ZINC

A mineral that is essential to the body and is a constituent of many enzymes that permit chemical reactions to proceed at normal rates. Zinc is involved in the manufacture of protein (protein synthesis) and in cell division. Zinc is also a constituent of insulin, and it is involved with the sense of smell. Food sources of zinc include meat, particularly liver and seafood; eggs; nuts; and cereal grains.

SELENIUM

Selenium is an essential trace mineral. This means your body must get this mineral in the food you eat. Small amounts of selenium are good for your health.

Selenium helps the body with making special proteins, called antioxidant enzymes, which play a role in preventing cell damage. It helps your body protect you after a vaccination

Some medical studies suggest that selenium may help with the following conditions: certain cancers, prevent cardiovascular disease and help protect the body from the poisonous effects of heavy metals and other harmful substances

AMINO ACIDS

GLUTATHIONE

It is the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent aging, cancer, heart disease, dementia and more, and necessary to treat everything from autism to Alzheimer’s disease. I called it the mother of all antioxidants. The good news is that your body produces its own glutathione. The bad news is that toxins from poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and radiation all deplete your glutathione. This leaves you susceptible to unrestrained cell disintegration from oxidative stress, free radicals, infections and cancer. And your liver gets overloaded and damaged, making it unable to do its job of detoxification.

L-ARGININE

L-arginine is a chemical building block called “an amino acid.” It is obtained from the diet and is necessary for the body to make proteins. L-arginine is found in red meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. It can also be made in a laboratory and used as medicine.

L-arginine is converted in the body into a chemical called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow. L-arginine also stimulates the release of growth hormone, insulin, and other substances in the body.

L-PROLINE

L-Proline is a non-essential amino acid, which means that it can be produced naturally in the body, as long as people have sufficient uptake of the products needed to synthesize it. The acid can also be found in meat and certain animal products, or it can be taken in through supplements. It is one of the 20 amino acids that form proteins. 

Although people rarely become deficient enough in L-Proline to develop health problems, many people could benefit from having higher levels of it in their bodies. The amino acid has many benefits, such as lowering the buildup of arterial deposits and the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, one of the benefits of this amino acid that is best recognized is its effect on the appearance and health of the skin.

L-LYSINE

L-Lysine is an amino acid that the human body does not naturally produce. It is needed for growth and bone development in children. It can also be used to treat herpes simplex infections. Good food sources include eggs, brewers yeast, legumes, dairy, fish and meat.

L-CARNITINE

L-Carnitine is an amino acid that plays an important role in the body’s production of energy and is naturally found in the human body. It aids in maintaining healthy heart and brain function, treating kidney disease, treating male infertility, acts as an antioxidant and can be used as a weight loss supplement. Good food sources include red meat, dairy, nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits and vegetables.

L-GLUTAMINE

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in the human body and plays a vital role in the metabolic processes. Glutamine aids the immune system, provides fuel to many cells in the body, and is a necessary energy source for the body. Good sources include high protein foods like fish, meat, beans and dairy.

L-GLUTATHIONE

L-Glutathione (GSH) is often referred to as the body’s master antioxidant. It can be found in virtually every cell of the human body. The highest concentration of glutathione is in the liver, making it critical in the body’s detoxification process.

Glutathione is also an essential component to the body’s natural defense system. Viruses, bacteria, heavy metal toxicity, radiation, certain medications, and even the normal process of aging can all cause free-radical damage to healthy cells and deplete glutathione. Glutathione depletion has been correlated with lower immune function and increased vulnerability to infection due to the liver’s reduced ability to detoxify.

As the generation of free radicals exceeds the body’s ability to neutralize and eliminate them, oxidative stress occurs. A primary function of glutathione is to alleviate this oxidative stress

0.99% SALINE SOLUTION

0.99% Sodium Chloride Injection USP is a sterile solution of sodium chloride (more commonly known as salt water).

ALKALINE

The pH refers to a measurement of acidity or alkalinity. Your body functions best when the pH is slightly alkaline.

Therefore an Alkaline diet is key for optimizing vitality because alkaline diets keep our tissues supple and reduces inflammation, which is a culprit in several disease processes like arthritis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel disorders, and even cancer. Alkalizing your body also builds and strengthens bone, thereby reducing the incidence of osteoporosis.

ANTIOXIDANTS

D- ALPHA LIPOIC ACID

Alpha lipoic acid is a fatty acid found naturally inside every cell in the body. It’s needed by the body to produce the energy for our body’s normal functions. Alpha lipoic acid converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy.

Alpha lipoic acid is also an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals. What makes alpha lipoic acid unique is that it functions in water and fat, unlike the more common antioxidants vitamins C and vitamin E, and it appears to be able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that helps the body eliminate potentially harmful substances. Alpha lipoic acid increases the formation of glutathione.
