Details

This formula ingredients maintain the important balance of fat- and water-soluble antioxidants, B-complex vitamins, and other nutrients of a sound nutritional foundation. Activated forms of folate (5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folinic acid) and vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin and 5-adenosylcobalamin) are used for enhanced absorption and bioactivity.

These capsules contain a full-spectrum of bioavailable trace elements, excluding iron. Supplemental iron is unnecessary for most adult men and women and may be potentially harmful, as excessive amounts have been associated with heart disease, arthritis, and cellular damage.

Copper is included because of its importance for SOD antioxidant enzyme activity and to maintain a healthy balance with zinc. Vitamin K has been excluded from this formula, making it suitable for patients using anticoagulant medications who wish to avoid taking this nutrient. Vcaps™ vegetarian capsules made of plant cellulose are used for all our capsule products.

This Capsule Formula is well-suited for those who prefer capsules or have difficulty swallowing, as the capsules may be pulled apart and the contents mixed with food if desired.

Sports essential™ multiple vitamin and mineral supplements are full-spectrum formulas containing:

More complete “families” of nutrients for natural balance and safety

• 100% natural vitamin E complex, including all mixed tocopherol isomers (d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma, and d-delta), provides broader antioxidant protection
• Both preformed vitamin A (retinol) and its carotene precursor extend more complete vitamin A nutrition
• All-natural mixed carotenoids, including alpha and beta carotenes, lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-cryptoxanthin offer more diverse benefit and are safer than synthetic beta-carotene alone
• Complete vitamin B-complex supports many metabolic functions and includes significant amounts of B-vitamins most crucial to avoiding toxic build-up of homocysteine

Activated folate and vitamin B12 for highest absorption and bioavailability

• 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) and folinic acid, the active forms of folate, unlike folic acid, are absorbed and utilized directly and are the most beneficial forms for patients with elevated homocysteine resulting from compromised utilization of folate
• Methylcobalamin and 5-adenosylcobalamin, the active forms of vitamin B12, are the most reliable oral forms of this difficult-to-absorb nutrient Extra vitamin D3 to optimize daily intake for broad physiological benefit
• Natural vitamin D3 is included at 800 IU daily, a higher amount than typically found in daily multivitamins, to help achieve optimal intakes now recognized to support bone health as well as its numerous roles in tissues throughout the body Mineral and trace element compounds with validated bioavailability
• True amino acid chelates from Albion Laboratories are fully-reacted, low molecular weight mineral compounds with exceptional tolerance and documented bioavailability
• Calcium citrate-malate is a well-studied calcium compound with higher absorption and effectiveness than many other calcium sources
• Organically-bound chromium and vanadium complexes offer high physiological activity

Also included are important Phytonutrients to help regulate inflammation. This helps body from excessive physiological stress.

The body's ability to maintain a natural balance of enzymes such as cyclooxgenase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX-2) that regulate inflammatory physiological response mechanisms is critical to the health of the entire body of every fitness enthusiast and all athletes.

In fact, this metabolic process appears to play a crucial role in supporting cardiovascular, immune, neurological, and joint and connective tissue systems.

Herbal extracts included in Sports essential™ contain multiple, beneficial compounds and have documented ability to help modulate COX enzymes, scavenge free radicals, and promote physiological balance in susceptible tissues in a safe and harmonious fashion. This is a powerful, synergistic combination that can be useful for almost all types of patients.

Contains Echinacea and complementary herbs.

The benefits of Echinacea and several complementary herbs are combined in a vegetarian capsule formulation. Fast support for immune system responsiveness against bacterial and viral invasion determined the selection of botanicals for this standardized blend. Each ingredient possesses a somewhat different natural ability to support immune system functions related to T-cell activity, interferon production, natural killer cell activity, macrophage function, and regulation of mucous membrane inflammation.

How to Use

Details

13 key neuronutrients for cognitive function.

This formulation is a prime example of why Sportaceuticals™ emphasize a coordinated, multinutrient approach whenever possible to promote maximum benefit and safety.

The brain's complex metabolism requires many different nutrients for optimum cellular communication and a balanced response to stress. Excessive or chronic release of adrenaline and cortisol, accumulated effects of toxins, and impeded flow of oxygen and nutrients can damage the brain and disrupt mental alertness, memory, and other functions. While using one or two neurosupportive nutrients can help target specific areas of function, care is needed to avoid potentially harmful effects of overstimulating only one neurotransmitter pathway.

The ingredients in Sports focus™ are chosen for their complementary and documented roles in neuronutrition. Used daily, this combined spectrum of nutrients may improve absent mindness and other mild memory problems.

Supports energy metabolism with L-arginine and botanicals

Studies in recent years indicate a strong influence of nitric oxide in a wide range of functions. L-arginine is a conditionally-essential amino acid needed for nitric oxide synthesis, growth hormone release, and energy metabolism. The body's need for arginine is increased during physical stress or illness and supplements may help meet this demand. Sports Focus™ combines significant amounts of L-arginine with ginseng, known for its ability to enhance energy metabolism, and several other herbs shown performance in various ways.

Pregnenolone in Bioavailable, micronized form.

Physiologically active pregnenolone, derived from natural diosgenin sterols, is micronized to a very small particle size to facilitate absorption. Popular 25 mg potency is provided in Vcaps™ vegetarian capsules made of plant cellulose.

L-Tyrosine as Thyroid hormone precursor.

Used for formation of T3 and T4 thyroid hormones, L-tyrosine is also an important precursor for brain-stimulating catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline) which support stress response mechanisms and ability to concentrate. Supplies 500 mg of L-tyrosine USP per each vegetarian capsule.

Calming benefits from amino acids and inositol.

GABA Plus provides complementary nutrients to support normal mood function. GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, helps maintain normal brain function. The amino acids taurine and L-glycine support activity of brain neurotransmitters with calming actions. Inositol helps regulate release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that affects mood and behavior.

How to Use

Description

Growing number of athletes in their 20s and 30s are finding out that arthritis is not a disease of their Grandparents anymore. Any fitness and athletic training takes tremendous toll on joints and ligaments. To play well as well as to avoid injuries, it is important that your bones, joints and ligaments are not only elastic but also strong and healthy.

Details

Glucosamine and Chondroitin - A popular combination for the joints.

Recent studies show chondroitin sulfate supports synthesis of cartilage tissue and inhibits cartilage degrading enzymes. Using both chondroitin and glucosamne offers related but distinctive benefits.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) - Bioavailable sulfur source. 750 mg.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has a demonstrated high level of safety and usefulness as a ready source of dietary sulfur, an important macromineral needed for sulfur-detoxification pathways, connective tissue metabolism, antibody formation, and synthesis of other organosulfur compounds. This unique sulfur compound has no sulfur odor, is exceptionally well-tolerated, and can be used liberally as needed. Added molybdenum aids sulfur metabolism.

Myalgetrol - Vegetarian formula supports muscle comfort and mobility.

Recent research demonstrates the beneficial action of celery seed extract for regulation of inflammatory processes involved in minor pain affecting muscle and joint tissue. The presence of 3-n-butylphthalide (3nB), a compound unique to celery, appears to be responsible for its healing actions.

By helping to restore prostaglandin balance and enhance blood flow, this concentrated extract produced noticeable positive benefit on muscle and joint function in individuals studied over a 3 to 6 week period.

To further support natural physiological response mechanisms within tissues and joint structures, Sports Joint Support™combines celery seed extract with a highly concentrated boswellia extract supplying AKBA, a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, and a unique phellodendron extract with natural COX-2 regulatory action. Suitable for patients with joint inflammation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and fibromyalgia.

Multi-nutrient support for bone health.

Inadequate calcium intake is a well-known risk factor for osteoporosis, a progressive bone disease influenced by age, sex, race, exercise, and many other dietary and lifestyle choices.

Sports Joint Support™is formulated with a two-fold purpose: 1) to help all young athletes optimize peak bone mass to reduce risk of osteoporosis later in life, and 2) to help slow the rate of bone loss in menopausal women, elderly men and women, and those with a family history of osteoporosis.

Highly bioavailable forms of minerals essential for bone health plus synergistic nutrients are included to maximize mineral absorption using the least number of pills. Calcium and vitamin D support bone mineral density, magnesium supports bone strength and remodeling, boron promotes calcium and magnesium balance, vitamin K activates proteins used in bone metabolism, and silicon helps regulate calcium deposition in bone and form collagen.

While most forms of silicon are very poorly absorbed, orthosilicic acid is a soluble, readily absorbed and active source. When combined with the average amounts of calcium and magnesium in the diet, Sports Joint Support™ taken twice daily with Sports Essentials™ raises calcium and magnesium in a balanced manner to bring total amounts to recommended levels.

How to Use
