Metabolic Nutrition
Adrenal Support
Vitamin C, bioflavanoids, and calcium pantothenate all support healthy adrenal function.
Neurological Support
Methylcobalamin is the active form of Vitamin B12. In a study comparing the effects of methylcobalamin versus cyanocobalamin on circadian rhythms, well-being, alertness, and concentration in healthy subjects, methylcobalamin supplementation resulted in a significant improvement in sleep quality, feelings of alertness, and concentration over cyanocobalamin. Cyanide (found in cyanocobalmin, the most commonly consumed form of B12) is a poison and impairs the conversion of T4 to T3.
Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
Chromium and magnesium help to promote normal blood sugar levels.
Detoxification
Selenium is an important mineral and supports cellular detoxification via glutathione synthesis.
Vitamin D3
Therapeutic levels of Vitamin D3 have many beneficial effects, including the support of healthy bone density and immune function, reduced insulin resistance, and reduced formation of abnormal cells. Vitamin D3 also is helpful in the control of migraine headaches and seasonal affective disorder.
Digestion
Bromelain enhances digestion and bioavailability.
