    Women Sense PCOSense PCOSense is a complete natural health solution for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is one of the first formulas to combine myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol at a 40:1 ratio, plus folate and vitamin B12. This formula supports normal menstrual cycle and fertility, healthy glucose balance, and reduced serum testosterone in women with PCOS. Recommended adult dose: Stir one scoop (2.15 g) in 250 mL of water, twice daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner. Research Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common metabolic and hormonal disorders, affecting one in ten women of reproductive age. (1) Women with PCOS present with a variety of symptoms associated with menstrual dysfunction and androgen excess, including irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, infertility, and insulin resistance. (1,2) Insulin resistance affects 30–40% of women with PCOS and is believed to play a key role in abnormal ovarian function. Multiple clinical trials support supplementation with myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol to help with the hormonal and metabolic symptoms of PCOS by promoting healthy glucose metabolism and reducing insulin resistance. (1–6) In a placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, women with PCOS were supplemented with 4 g of myo-inositol plus 400 mcg of folic acid daily. After 16 weeks, women taking myo-inositol experienced an 84% increase in whole body insulin sensitivity, compared to no change in the placebo group. Myo-inositol was also shown to improve glucose tolerance and reduce serum total testosterone and serum-free testosterone concentrations by 66% and 73% respectfully. In addition, 69.5% of these women ovulated, compared to 21% taking the placebo). (1) In a 12-week clinical study, obese PCOS patients were supplemented with 500 mg of D-chiro-inositol daily. Patients experienced significant improvements in insulin sensitivity, especially those with a family history of diabetes. Hormonal patterns also improved and patient body mass index (BMI) decreased. (2) Both myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol have been clinically shown to support a normal menstrual cycle and ovulation in women with PCOS. (3,6) In another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, PCOS patients were supplemented with 4 g of myo-inositol plus 400 mcg of folic acid daily. Over the 14-week study, parameters of ovarian function improved, including a 25% increase in ovulation frequency (versus a 15% increase in the placebo group) and a significantly shorter time to first ovulation (24.5 days versus 40.4 days for the placebo group). (3) D-chiro-inositol was shown to help regulate the menstrual cycle in 62.5% of women with PCOS and chronic ovulatory dysfunction when taken for at least four months at a dose of 1 g per day plus 400 mcg of folic acid. The prospective cohort study also found that D-chiro inositol helped lower testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels, as well as other metabolic parameters related to PCOS. (6) PCOS is the most-common cause of infertility due to anovulation (lack of ovulation). A meta-analysis of seven trials found that supplementation with 4 g of myo-inositol plus 400 mcg of folic acid daily increased pregnancy rates among infertile women undergoing treatments to induce ovulation, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Supplementation also allowed for the reduction of ovulation medication needed to promote fertility. (7) In addition, a clinical study supplementing 1.1 g of myoinositol plus 27.6 mg of D-chiro-inositol daily helped improve oocyte and embryo quality, as well as pregnancy rates in women with PCOS undergoing IVF. (8) Active folate (L-5-MTHF) and methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) support fertility and normal early fetal development, help form red blood cells, and are factors in the maintenance of good health. (9,10) Clinical studies show that folate supplementation at least three months before conception and during early pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube birth defects by 42–87%. (9) Each Serving (2.15 g) Contains Medicinal Ingredients: Myo-inositol 2 g D-chiro-inositol 50 mg Folate (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, calcium salt) 200 mcg Vitamin B-12 (methylcobalamin) 1.5 mcg Non-medicinal Ingredients: Organic Oryza sativa (rice) hull powder.

Trophic’s Met-I-Choline is formulated to promote liver health. Choline promotes a healthy liver by enabling it to metabolize fatty deposits. It works with inositol to help emulsify fats and cholesterol. Inositol aids in the metabolism of fats and assists in reducing blood cholesterol. Inositol occurs in the greatest concentrations in nerve tissue. The high concentrations of inositol in nerve tissues and vital organs suggest it has an important regulatory role. 120 mg Choline (choline bitartrate) 300 mg Inositol (Myo-inositol) 300 mg Methionine (L-Methionine) Take one caplet daily or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner No added wheat, soy, gluten, dairy, sugar, artificial colors, preservatives or animal products

Glutathione Guaranteed! Your body’s master antioxidant, which supports a healthy liver and optimizes cellular health.* 450 mg of Glutathione 1,000 mg of Essential Phospholipids 30 individually-wrapped packets per carton L-GSH Traditional oral forms of Glutathione are destroyed by the body’s digestive juices, and it’s been said the only efficient way to boost Glutathione levels is through time-consuming, uncomfortable and expensive intravenous injections.Lypo-Spheric® Glutathione encapsulates the Glutathione in liposomes made from Essential Phospholipids, which protect it from being destroyed by digestive juices. Within minutes of taking Lypo-Spheric™ Glutathione, the tiny liposomes filled with Glutathione are transported directly into the bloodstream, and into the cells. This makes Lypo-Spheric® Glutathione one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to boost your levels of this essential antioxidant.Every cell in the body needs Glutathione. As we age, our body’s Glutathione production diminishes, leading to a detrimental drop in the cellular functions that help maintain a healthy heart, brain, eyes, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and joints.Glutathione:The major endogenous antioxidant produced by the cells, participating directly in the neutralization of free radicals and reactive oxygen compoundsMaintains exogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E in their active formsUsed in metabolic and biochemical reactions such as DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport, and enzyme activationSupports a healthy liver and promotes normal detoxificationDirections for UseAs a dietary supplement, take one packet 1 to 2 times per day, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. For best results, snip or tear the notched end off the packet, squeeze into one or more ounces of your favorite cool beverage, drink on an empty stomach, and wait at least 15 minutes before eating for maximum absorption.We do not recommend mixing any of the products in hot beverages, because this could damage the liposomes.We also do not recommend blending any of our products in a food processor or blender.Storage InstructionsRefrigeration is recommended for maximum effectiveness. Do not freeze or place in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. The stability of the Lypo-Spheric® Glutathione deteriorates rapidly once an individual packet is opened. We do not recommend storing partially used packets of the Lypo-Spheric® Glutathione for later use.

Glutathione precursor N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) from Natural Factors is a free form amino acid required by the body to make glutathione. Glutathione is a key antioxidant that is involved in many physiological processes, such as fighting oxidative stress, maintaining a healthy immune system, repairing tissues, and supporting overall health. It also recycles other antioxidants. Uses & Benefits Scavenges free radicals and reduces oxidative stress Supports immune system health Replenishes depleted glutathione stores Aids respiratory health Reduces the frequency of flu-like symptoms in adults over 65 Medicinal Ingredients Each vegetarian capsule contains: N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) 600 mg Non-Medicinal IngredientsVegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).

Allergen Statement Contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners; no dairy, starch, sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, corn, egg, fish, shellfish, salt, tree nuts, or GMOs Feature Summary Natural Factors N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a free form amino acid and a vital part of the body’s antioxidant defence system. It is needed for the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant involved in many physiological processes, such as fighting oxidative stress, maintaining a healthy immune system, repairing tissues, cellular detoxification, and supporting overall health. NAC supplementation has been clinically shown to increase the body’s antioxidant capacity and help reduce the severity and frequency of influenza-like symptoms in adults over 65. NAC is also the most stable and readily absorbed form of cysteine. As a free form amino acid, cysteine is one step closer to producing glutathione than when it is consumed as part of a complete protein from food. Oral supplementation with NAC also increases glutathione levels more effectively than supplementing with glutathione itself. This is because glutathione breaks down in the gastrointestinal tract whereas NAC does not. It passes into the bloodstream intact. The 1200 mg per day (600 mg 2 times per day) is supported by clinical research. This is an ideal nutritional supplement for adults who would like to improve their immune system health. NAC is an effective option for anyone with high levels of oxidative stress or depleted glutathione stores.

Maintains and supports positive nitrogen and acid-base balance Supports lymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes in the body Fights "body breakdown" due to extreme stress The highest grade L-form amino acid available Vegetarian / Vegan Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that under certain circumstances, the body may require more Glutamine than it can produce. During these times Glutamine may be considered a "conditionally essential" amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and acts as the primary fuel for rapidly growing cells (immune system and intestinal cells). In addition, Glutamine is also a major nitrogen transporter and helps to regulate the body’s acid-base balance.NPN 80002659 DIRECTIONS Adult Dosage: Take 1 capsule 3 times daily between meals.  INGREDIENTS Each capsule contains:L-Glutamine (Free form) 500 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients:  Rice Flour, Capsule (hypromellose, water), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source).

Suggested Use The amino acid L-arginine is used to make nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. Studies have found that L-arginine may help with conditions that improve when blood vessels are relaxed. May help support a modest improvement in exercise capacity in individuals with stable cardiovascular disease (CVD). Supports healthy immunity.   Advanced Info Natural Factors L-Arginine is a non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis. It may also help support a modest improvement in exercise capacity in individuals with stable cardiovascular diseases (CVD). L-arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid, which means although it can be manufactured by the body, during times of illness, stress, and recovery from injury, the body may need more than it can produce on its own. L-arginine plays a critical role in the production of nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes blood vessels, helping to improve blood flow. A deficiency of L-arginine can disrupt many cellular functions in the body, including those of the blood vessels. As a free-form amino acid, L-arginine is easier for the body to absorb and use than when consumed in the form of protein from food, such as dairy, meat, and fish. Available in two strengths, L-arginine is free from preservatives, sweeteners, gluten, and GMOs. L-arginine is a great choice for people who want to improve their exercise capacity, are under high levels of stress, or are involved in intense physical training.

Pure Encapsulations - NAC + Glycine Powder; Natural Peach Ginger Flavour Supports glutathione production, immune defence and detoxification Benefits: Restores and promotes glutathione synthesis Enhances immune & antioxidant defences Reduces oxidative stress Supports the body’s natural detoxification process Cysteine and glycine are both necessary precursors for glutathione (GSH) synthesis, and co-supplementation of these nutrients promotes intracellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is one of the main endogenous antioxidants, acting in the body to recycle other antioxidants and protect the body from free radicals, as well as support detoxification. It is found in virtually every cell of the body and plays a critical role in cell function. Increased glutathione levels have been linked to supporting a reduction in oxidative stress. Ingredients: Medicinal Ingredients (per scoop [approximately 5.3 g]):N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine | 1800 mgGlycine | 1800 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients: Natural peach, mango, orange, and ginger flavours with other natural flavours, potassium citrate, tri-magnesium citrate, purified stevia leaf extracts. Dosing: Adults: Take 1 scoop daily, mixed well with 1 cup (250 mL) of water, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Take with a meal. Ensure to drink enough fluid before, during, and after exercise. Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 2 months. Product Notes: Though there has yet to be a health product licensed for sale in Canada using the 'GlyNAC' name featured in recent studies, you can now get an equivalent combination in a powdered form from Pure Encapsulations. If antioxidants were a league of super heroes, glutathione would be its Superman, for being able to help protect every single cell in the body (both on its own and by helping the other antioxidants get used more) from free radicals, in addition to supporting the immune system and combating the effects of aging in other ways, such as by assisting in nutrient metabolism, energy production, detoxification, and more. Unfortunately, our bodies don't generate nearly as much glutathione after the age of 45 or so, which leaves us more vulnerable. And while it can be taken as a supplement, it turns out it can be far more effective to furnish the body with the first two of its three main building blocks (glycine, L-cysteine, and L-glutamate) to enable it to be produced right within the cells from scratch, as needed, rather than transported into them whole - not only because the supplemental forms tend to be unstable and difficult to absorb, but also because too much glutathione can end up backfiring and lead to accelerated aging (due to a phenomenon known as reductive stress). That's where NAC + Glycine powder comes in. Studies have shown that a combination of those two precursors of GSH (Glycine and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) in a one-to-one ratio can significantly improve GSH deficiency, oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial impairment, inflammation, insulin resistance, physical strength, exercise capacity, and several other hallmarks of aging, in older adults -- without interfering with the delicate balance between the 'healthy' levels of oxidants that cells produce to improve their signaling and efficiency, and glutathione's ongoing efforts to reduce excessive levels within those cells.

    Natural muscle food Natural Factors L-Glutamine enhances muscle recovery, energy, and immunity. As a free-form amino acid, it is more effective than the form obtained directly from food. Supplementing with L-glutamine helps restore levels lost during strenuous exercise and speed up recovery. It also improves digestive health and supports normal brain function. Uses & Benefits Immune support Helps repair muscle tissue after physical activity Helps support the digestive system Medicinal Ingredients Each vegetarian capsule contains: L-glutamine 1,000 mg Non-Medicinal IngredientsVegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), rice powder, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant). Recommended dose Recommended adult dose: 1 capsule 5 times daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Suggested Use L-glutamine is an amino acid that can be found throughout the body, primarily in the brain, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and liver cells.  During strenuous exercise, L-glutamine levels in the muscle and blood are greatly depleted.  Supplementing with L-glutamine can help restore plasma L-glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress and can accelerate recovery time.  Additional benefits include increased immunity and energy, as well as enhanced digestive and brain function.  Micronization technology greatly minimizes the particle size, thus allowing your body to more easily break down and absorb the glutamine. Feature Summary L-Glutamine is an amino acid that can be found throughout the body, especially in the brain, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and liver cells. After periods of physical stress, L-glutamine helps support a healthy immune system and digestive system, and helps restore depleted glutamine levels in the blood and muscle. This assists in repairing muscle tissue after intense exercise and can accelerate post-exercise recovery time. Additionally, L-glutamine improves energy levels and brain function, and helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier. Although L-glutamine can be made by the body and is found in many high-protein foods, it is most effective when taken as a free-form amino acid. Natural Factors L-Glutamine Free Form Amino Acid is natural muscle food contained within vegetarian capsules. This is especially beneficial to vegetarians, vegans, or people following restricted diets who may not get enough L-glutamine through food sources alone. Each capsule delivers 500 mg of L-glutamine to be taken multiple times per day for the most effective absorption and use by the muscles. It is well-tolerated and safe when used as directed. Cautions Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are following a low protein diet, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children. Allergen Statement Contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners; no dairy, sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, corn, egg, fish, shellfish, animal products, salt, tree nuts, or GMOs.
