Acidolphilus: - These "friendly"
bacteria live in the digestive tract. They have been shown
to help aid digestion, assist in the production of certain
enzymes and vitamins. Also, it inhibits pathogenic organisms
in the intestine (including fungus and yeast), and also helps
reduce blood cholesterol.
Ajowan Oil: - This oil stimulates
the digestive tract and reduces gas formation.
Aloe Vera: - This plant
extract acts as a digestive tonic that improves protein digestion
and assimilation, reduces stomach acid, relieves and prevents
constipation, and helps heal peptic ulcers.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA):
- ALA is a fat and water soluble molecule that functions as
an antioxidant itself, while also helping to recycle vitamins
C and E (as well as glutathione), which enhances all of their
antioxidant properties. ALA has also been shown to help prevent
cataracts, improve the immune system, and enhance the liver's
ability to detoxify metals. It has also shown promising results
in treating diabetic nerve damage and improving blood flow
to the peripheral nerves.
Anthocyanidins (Bilberry Extract):
- This nutrient helps control insulin, improve night vision,
maintain capillary integrity, support the stability of collagen,
and is rich in bioflavonoids.
Astragalus: - This herb
has shown beneficial effects on the immune system, and has
been used to increase metabolism, promote healing, prevent
fatigue, and as a lung tonic.
Avena Sativa: - This herb
stimulates the central nervous system as well as muscular
contractions.
Beta Carotene: - A form
of provitamin A (vitamin A precursor) found mainly in yellow
and/or orange fruits and vegetables. When vitamin A levels

to vitamin A as needed by the body
Beta Sitosterol: - This
compound is a nutrient-containing plant sterol (a substance
related to fats) that decreases the absorption of cholesterol
in the intestines.
Biotin: - This vitamin promotes
normal health of sweat glands, nerve tissue, bone marrow,
male sex glands, blood cells, skin, and hair. It also helps
the formation of fatty acids, and facilitates metabolism of
amino acids and carbohydrates.
Black currant seed oil: -This
oil is high in activated omega-6 essential fatty acid precursors,
and therefore helps control the body's inflammatory responses.
Borage Oil: - This oil is
also high in activated omega-6 essential fatty acid precursors,
and therefore helps control the body's inflammatory responses.
Bovine Cartilage: - Cartilage
provides natural sulfates like chondroitin and collagen to
help protect existing joint tissue while also facilitating
the creation of new cartilage.
Boswellin Serrata Extract:
- This herb extract has anti-inflammatory properties, and
has been shown to be effective for inflammatory skin conditions,
low back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and muscle
pain.
