FUNCTIONS
Ultra Preventive X is a comprehensive multivitamin/mineral combination with a powerful antioxidant blend of organic fruits and vegetables. This unique formula offers adequate Vitamin D and the body’s preffered form of readily bioavailable folate, Metafolin. Metafolin is a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health, as it participates as a cofactor in a reaction that involves the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme (5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)). In certain populations, the body’s ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences. Metafolin® contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
QUELL Fish Oil uses the Supercritical CO2 advanced technology for extracting fish oil. This method provides the superior protection against oxidation and uses less heat and no chemical solvents when compared to molecular distillation, resulting in fewer unwanted isomer formations and cleaner oil. Recent scientific data shows the triglyceride form of fish oil is better absorbed when compared to ethyl esters. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids continue to emerge and numerous health organizations around the world recommend adequate daily intake of EPA and DHA. Data continues to accumulate that supports EPA and DHA in cardiovascular health as well as many other areas, including neurological health, vision health, and joint health.†
Multi-Probiotic provides 4 billion live, beneficial intestinal micro-organisms for gastrointestinal and immune health. Probiotic dietary lactobacilli colonize the intestinal tract, depending on the specific bacterium-to-host affinity. Bacteria are continually in competition for colonization space. The original bacterial colonies have an advantage over transient bacteria. Nevertheless, the composition of the intestinal microflora is dynamic and constantly changing. If harmful microorganisms proliferate, the equilibrium is disturbed, and it becomes difficult even for indigenous bacteria to maintain their necessary territory to colonize the intestine. Antibiotics tend to kill off both beneficial and harmful bacteria, and thus may also disturb the normal, healthy balance of intestinal microorganisms. †
Citrus Solu-Q is a liquid filled capsule containing natural coenzyme Q10 in a patented, self-assembling nano-colloid system for enhanced absorption. When mixed with an aqueous system, this patented technology results in the formation of a nano-colloid containing solubilized CoQ10. This colloidal delivery system contains a highly uniform distribution of droplets that are typically less than 100 nm in diameter, and allows for enhanced absorption of coenzyme Q10. †
