 Newest additions:

Astaxanthin

Along with boosting your immune system, astaxanthin may also help to reduce inflammation. In particular, this pigment acts on reactive oxygen species to reduce proteins that can cause inflammatory diseases like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes

Ginseng

Ginseng is one of the most popular food supplements in the world. It is made out of various plants and herbs and is thought to provide many benefits, with numerous studies pointing at possible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits as well as anti-cancer effects. A group of researchers at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has now found that it can also be helpful for exercise.According to the findings of the study, which was carried out as part of a master's degree final project and was recently published in the open-access journal Nutrients, taking ginseng has a direct effect on reducing fatigue and helps muscles to recover after sport.

Lutein 

Lutein is a carotenoid with reported anti-inflammatory properties. A large body of evidence shows that lutein has several beneficial effects, especially on eye health. In particular, lutein is known to improve or even prevent age-related macular disease which is the leading cause of blindness and vision impairment.

 

NAC/Glycine

Supplementation with GlyNAC - a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine as precursors of the natural antioxidant glutathione - could improve many age-associated defects in older humans to improve muscle strength and cognition, and promote healthy aging.

Pterostilbene

• Pterostilbene has been shown to minimize oxidative stress on cells, combat free radicals, and have anti-inflammatory effects. Similar to an improved version of Resveratrol, this compound has been shown to keep DNA in good repair, preventing DNA damage and promoting longevity!
• PROMOTE HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS - Pterostilbene supplementation may promote normal glucose and triglyceride levels. It is associated with upregulation of PPAR expression, and may be effective for facilitating healthy blood sugar.

 

• Ultra Omega-3 1000 EPA

A new study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings provides the most comprehensive analysis of the role of omega-3 dosage on cardiovascular prevention to date. The meta-analysis, which is an in-depth review of 40 clinical trials, provides authoritative evidence for consuming more EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) omega-3 fats.

The research concludes that EPA and DHA omega-3 intake is associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events, the cause of 7.4 million deaths globally each year, and reduced risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack), including fatal heart attack.

Specifically, the study found that EPA+DHA supplementation is associated with a statistically significant reduced risk of:

 

• Fatal myocardial infarction (35 percent)
• Myocardial infarction (13 percent)
• CHD events (10 percent)
• CHD mortality (9 percent)
