Lipoic acid is a highly effective, biologically available and well researched antioxidant that works in both the fat and water soluble portions of human cells. Lipoic acid supports healthy liver regeneration, immune function and circulation, as well as vision and glucose metabolism. It also supports cardiovascular and neurological health. Being a powerful antioxidant, it protects and repairs cells and reduces damage caused by oxidation. Lipoic acid also improves the effectiveness of vitamin C and E, two well-known antioxidants.

Sooth and restore your stomach and intestinal tract with CeaseFire®.   CeaseFire® delivers extracts of mastic gum and DGL (de-glycyrrhizinated licorice) in a pleasant tasting, cinnamon-flavored chewable wafer.

The first recorded use of mastic gum for soothing the intestinal tract is the year 1248. Through contemporary research, mastic gum has been shown to provide benefit for individuals with stomach upset and ulcerations in the duodenum. Research also indicates that chewing mastic gum may reduce dental plaque. Since Egyptian times, licorice has been used to sooth stomach and intestinal upset*.  Vitamin Research Products uses the DGL (De-Glycyrrhizinated Licorice) form of licorice, the preferred form for supplementation.

It is best to take CeaseFire® on an empty stomach prior to meals and away from medication. Consume as needed, up to 3 servings per day.  Please use appropriately. CeaseFire® is not intended to pacify conditions requiring medical attention.

LeptinX is a patented formula and has been clinically shown to enhance weight loss and improve body composition compared to diet and exercise alone.

How LeptinX Works

LeptinX works by modulating serum levels of leptin and adiponectin, two hormones essential for regulating appetite and fat metabolism.

By assisting in regulating leptin, LeptinX naturally suppresses appetite and aids in the conversion of stored and dietary fat into energy for other metabolic purposes.

LeptinX Research

A clinical study at the University of Connecticut showed that LeptinX works.

The results of the 8-week study were: fat loss, weight loss and waist size reduction. LeptinX is also backed by 7 years of research and development conducted by researchers at the University of Minnesota.

What do Allergies, Stress, Colds, Arthritis and Intense Exercise have in common?
They all impact your immune system.
Balance your immune system with EpiCor®.

Strengthen all three lines of your natural defenses with EpiCor®:

• The Physical Barrier
  (increase secretory IgA to protect the skin and mucous membranes)
• Search and Destroy
  (activate macrophages, granulocytes, T-lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells)
• Antibody Production
  (B-lymphocytes [B-cells])

EpiCor® is a potent immune system modulator that helps regulate your body's natural immune defenses. EpiCor® primes the immune responder cells in the blood so that they are on high alert to attack viruses and bacteria. In other words, EpiCor® primes the immune system to attack non-self proteins, such as the antigens on bacteria and viruses, while supporting the immune system's ability to recognize and to leave ‘self' proteins alone. The immune system's attack of ‘self' proteins is one of the more serious initiators of inflammation and inflammatory reactions.

EpiCor® enhances the body's immune defenses by increasing the levels of CD4 “helper cells”and at the same time decreasing levels of CD8 “suppressor” cells. EpiCor® helps to restore homeostatis of hyperactive immune system, giving it a more balanced, normal immune response.

EpiCor® should be taken daily to help minimize the risk and severity of colds and flus by improving the CD4/CD8 helper/suppressor cell ratio and activating of NK cells resulting in a powerful shift in the body's ability to defend itself against infectious agents. There is evidence that EpiCor®'s immune system modulatory effects improve over time.

Another important mechanism of action of EpiCor® is that it increases the levels of secretory IgA one of the five immunoglobulins that is a major first line of defense in infections that enter the body through the mucous membranes. Secretory IgA envelops and makes our mucous membranes far more impervious to pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. Secretory IgA has been proven to be a powerful antiviral agent. It protects both the mouth and nasal passages, plus protects the mucous membranes that line the entire gastrointestinal tract.

EpiCor® is a yeast fermentate, manufactured by a multi-stage fermentation process. It has not been shown to have any negative effect on persons suffering from Candida albicans or candidiasis. The proprietary MetaGen-4™ fermentation process also produces powerful antioxidants, including catechins, polyphenols, and resveratrol, all of which contribute to EpiCor®'s high free radical quenching abilities. It also has a high ORAC rating and quenches free radicals at levels as low as 1 part per trillion.

Calm your nerves, sleep well and feel restored in the morning.

Ingredients in Herbal Sleep have been shown to:

• Quiet the mind
• Promote restful sleep
• Calm nerves
• Reduce feelings of anxiousness
• Help you fall asleep faster

Herbal Sleep is formulated for individuals who have too many wakeful nights and those seeking occasional support with managing nerves and restful sleep.

Balanced Blend

When it comes to calming nerves and improving qualities of sleep, balanced blends are generally preferred. Research supports this approach. Herbal Sleep is a balanced blend.

Herbs work synergistically – with each other and within the body – to support different qualities and attributes of sleep and relaxation.

Best Form

In addition to selecting the blend, the form of the plant used is equally important for optimal effectiveness.

Seditol® is a proprietary blend of two botanical extracts which calm the mind and improve quality of sleep. An open-label study with nearly 300 people reported Seditol improved sleep and helped reduce fatigue associated with poor sleep.

The active constituent of Hops is the flowering part, called ‘strobiles’; this is the form of Hops in Herbal Sleep. Since the ninth century, Hops have been used for improving mood, settling unrest and supporting better sleep.

The leaf of Lemon Balm is the preferred constituent, revered for its calming qualities. Lemon Balm has also been shown to lessen mental agitation in adults, support cognitive focus, sooth the stomach, and support the immune system.

Passion Flower has long been used to settle nervous upset, improve mood, relax muscles and reduce feelings of anxiousness. Individuals going through withdrawal from certain medications report good benefits from Passion Flower extract.

Valerian root has been used for calming nerves and improving sleep since the time of Hippocrates. Today, after nearly 30 clinical research trials, valerian is widely recommended by healthcare professionals for its sedating, relaxing and sleep-supporting qualities

Valerian is listed in national pharmacopeias of the United States (25th ed), Austria, France, Great Britain, Russia, Switzerland and the German Commission E.

Valerian root extract has been shown in clinical trials to improve quality of sleep, and shorten the length of time to fall asleep. Research suggests it reduces central nervous system activity. Vitamin Research Products® provides valerian root standardized to 0.8% valerianic acid.

What’s best for me?

Many individuals report better results from continued use, though some prefer periodic use. Herbal Sleep is not a one-dose-fits-all product; optimal doses vary from person-to-person*.

Vitamin Research Products® supplies Herbal Sleep in vegetarian capsules.

AdaptaPhase® I is an adaptogenic formula designed to build vitality and to combat the damaging effects of stress. Adaptogens are natural agents that help the body respond adequately to stress without overproducing potentially damaging hormones such as cortisol. Adaptogens help balance many body systems that are impacted by stress, such as immune response and blood sugar maintenance. AdaptaPhase I features five of the most powerful adaptogens from around the world:

Eleuthero

One of the best known adaptogenic herbs, Eleutherococcus senticosus is recognized for its ability to enhance work capacity, physical endurance and mental acuity. Eleuthero may also improve oxygen utilization and enhance the body’s detoxifying processes.

Aralia manchurica (Manchurian Thorn Tree)

This botanical has historically been used in Russia as an adaptogen for fatigue, weakness, headaches, depression, immune support, and stress overload. Aralia is also reported to enhance memory and attention span

Astragalus

Astragalus is also an important “Qi (Chi) tonifying” herb in Chinese medicine. It helps support immunity and has stamina-building properties. It is rich in polysaccharides known for their immune-modulating actions.

Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha)

Ashwagandha, often referred to as Indian ginseng, is a botanical possessing anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, antioxidant, antitumor, immunomodulating and rejuvenating properties. It is known to favorably affect the endocrine, cardiopulmonary and central nervous systems. Animal studies have indicated that Withania Somnifera can help offset the damaging effects of stress.

Schisandra

Schisandra chinensis has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Evidence suggests that adaptogens such as Schisandra support the stress response both by affecting the sympathetic-adrenal response with short-term administration as well as supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis with longer-term administration. Studies using animal models confirm that Schisandra can reduce elevated serum corticosterone levels.

Zinc is an essential nutrient for good health, functioning in nearly 100 different enzyme systems in the body. Adequate zinc levels are crucial for proper gene expression, for normal growth and metabolism, for protein synthesis, wound healing, immune function and reproductive health.

ZincMate provides a simple method for evaluating zinc nutritional status. Simply place a small amount (10 ml, approximately 2 teaspoons) in the mouth and hold for 10 seconds. If little or no taste is perceived, zinc status may be low. An immediate or strong taste perception suggests that zinc status may be adequate. For best results, use periodically to monitor zinc status.

This formula is a patent-pending concentrate of the flavonoid glabridin that helps reduce abdominal fat. It has been shown in clinical trials to reduce body weight, waist circumference and abdominal fat, and to help control blood glucose.

In recent years, overweight and obesity in industrialized countries has reached epidemic proportions. Obesity has increased across all age groups, educational levels and ethnic groups. Abdominal obesity, in particular, and its related increase in visceral fat, is at an all-time high. Visceral fat is of particular concern because elevated levels of visceral fat are one cause of metabolic syndrome, a condition where blood lipids, blood glucose and blood pressure are poorly controlled. Metabolic syndrome is considered to be a precursor to more serious conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, diabetes and stroke.

Nutrigenomic testing, animal studies and human clinical trials have demonstrated that this formula is able to reduce the amount of visceral fat, helping to eliminate one significant cause of metabolic syndrome. It is able to down-regulate the body’s fat-forming processes and up-regulate the activity of fat burning enzymes. It also reduces the weight gain produced by a high fat diet and helps to control blood glucose.
