Certified Naturals™ AppleSlim Apple Polyphenols Certified Naturals™ AppleSlim™ is a natural supplement for use in weight management programs and cardiovascular support. AppleSlim™ contains the world’s leading apple polyphenol ingredient - ApplePhenon™ together with green coffee bean extract. ApplePhenon™ is carefully extracted from specially selected wildcrafted immature green apples from Central Asia, the “Land of the Original Apple”. Using a proprietary gentle extraction process, the highest concentration of apple polyphenols is preserved for optimal antioxidant activity. A daily dose of AppleSlim™ capsules containing ApplePhenon™ ingredient contains the equivalent polyphenols of 18 ripe apples. ApplePhenon™ apple polyphenols are powerful plant-based antioxidants that have been the subject of human clinical trials for a wide variety of health issues: Weight management for visceral fat and overall weight Cardiovascular support (cholesterol and triglyceride management) Glucose management Athletic performance Respiratory support Skin care Dental care Inflammatory conditions ApplePhenon™ is thought to have three primary modes of action to deliver its benefits for weight management and cardiovascular support:1. Its role as an antioxidant (clearing waste from the cells and protecting them from damage)2. Its prebiotic properties which promote improved gut flora3. Its ability to mimic a calorie-restricted diet by inhibiting enzyme activity in lipid and glucose absorption Two clinical studies have shown that daily doses of 600 mg of ApplePhenon™ can help to reduce visceral fat and overall weight. The first 12-week placebo-controlled study demonstrated that by using ApplePhenon™, visceral fat in overweight individuals could be decreased by 9% while reducing waistline and hip measurements.6 A second longer study showed a reduction in in visceral fat area, an improvement in adiponectin levels (anti-inflammatory hormone that helps with glucose control) and a decrease in overall weight.7 ApplePhenon™ has become one of the best-selling weight management ingredients in the East Asian markets of South Korea and Japan due to its effective results for consumers. Recommended use:  Could complement a healthy lifestyle that incorporates a calorie-reduced diet and regular physical activity for individuals involved in a weight management program. Helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Helps support cardiovascular health. Source of antioxidants that help protect against cell damage caused by free radicals.

Certified Naturals™ Bioavailable Boswellia  Features the patented Boswellia Phytosome® known as Casperome®. Casperome® is a new delivery form of Boswellia that addresses the absorption issues associated with typical Boswellia extracts. Using patented Phytosome® technology, which complexes Boswellia extract with sunflower lecithin, Casperome® Boswellia has demonstrated significantly improved absorption. The lecithin utilized in the Phytosome® technology protects Casperome®’s Boswellic acids from degradation by water and shuttles the acids through the intestinal tract more efficiently. This mimics how taking Boswellic acids with a fatty meal would improve absorption. By using the Phytosome® delivery method, Boswellic acids test 300-400 percent higher in blood measurements when patients take Casperome® vs standard Boswellia extracts. Not only is Casperome® better absorbed, but it is absorbed faster to deliver quicker pain relief. Casperome® also remains in the system longer which makes it ideal for one time per day dosing which is more convenient for consumers. Another major difference between Casperome® and other medicinal Boswellia formulations is that Casperome® offers the whole bouquet of Boswellic acids naturally found in Boswellia extract. There are 11 major Boswellic acids, but most commercial Boswellia extracts focus on a single acid, usually AKBA which is thought to inhibit 5-lox enzyme. However, recent studies have downplayed the role of AKBA in the clinical effectiveness of Boswellia extract and highlighted other acids such as β-BA. Overall, it is clear that the Boswellic acids in the extract are best when working in conjunction with each other as intended by nature. A consistent finding in these studies was that Casperome® is safe and that it can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments (e.g. NSAIDs or physical therapy) while showing reductions in pain that decreased the need for these conventional treatments. Recommended use:  Helps relieve symptoms associated with knee pain. Helps to relieve abdominal pain and cramping associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Provides antioxidants.

Certified Naturals™Clinical Omega3X Fish Oil gelcaps feature the fish oil source known as MaxSimil® for superior absorption. MaxSimil® is a patented omega-3 fatty acids technology that was developed and researched in Canada. MaxSimil® starts with the highest quality fish oil caught off the coast of South America, then processed and purified in Norway. A biomimetic enzymatic process is then applied to form an absorption-ready monoglyceride (MG) form of fish oil. MaxSimil® omega-3 technology mimics the body’s natural processes, arriving “pre-digested” so that your body doesn’t have to rely on its processes for digestion. As a monoglyceride, MaxSimil® is ready for immediate absorption into the small intestine. In a preclinical trial, MaxSimil® was shown to enhance the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids by over 3 times vs. a typical fish oil supplement of the same potency. MaxSimil® is easier on the stomach and digestive system than traditional triglyceride and ethyl ester fish oils. Monoglycerides are easily absorbed and put less stress on the digestive process. MaxSimil® fish oil is tested under IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) to verify potency, purity and safety from environmental contaminants.

Helps to reduce serum triglycerides/triacylglycerols (at two gelcaps per day). Helps support cognitive health and brain function. Source of omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of good health.

  Certified Naturals™ Glycemic Control Capsules contains the clinically studied natural ingredient InSea2®. InSea2® is formulated from two brown seaweeds native to the Canadian Maritime provinces. Together in an optimal ratio determined by research, Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus have been combined and researched for their benefits for glycemic health. InSea2® has been shown to slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and sugar for improved glycemic health. When taken together with a meal containing carbohydrates and sucrose (table sugar), InSea2® inhibits the α-amylase enzyme that breaks down carbs as well as the α-glucosidase enzyme that breaks down complex sugars. Concentrated polyphenols known as phlorotannins, unique to brown seaweeds, are the micronutrients that inhibit the relevant enzymatic activity. By inhibiting this activity, lesser amounts of carbs and sugars are absorbed, making the digestion of the food slower, allowing the body to better manage glycemic stress. InSea2® lowers glucose and insulin levels after a carbohydrate meal Patients were given 500 mg of InSea2® or a placebo prior to a high carbohydrate meal. Their blood glucose levels were monitored for a 3-hour period post-meal. InSea2® patients showed a 48% reduction (iAUC) in incremental glucose versus the placebo group. The seaweed combination also demonstrated a 12% reduction in incremental insulin and increased insulin sensitivity by 7.9% compared to the placebo. This study showed that InSea2® effectively reduces glycemic stress in response to carbohydrate ingestion. Recommended use: Helps support healthy blood glucose levels. Helps to reduce the glycemic index of ingested foods. MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS: Each vegetable capsule contains: InSea2® Brown Seaweed Blend 250 mg   Ascophyllum nodosum thallus extract (20:1) 237.5 mg   (4750mg QCE)         71.25 mcg iodine         23.75mg polyphenols     Fucus vesiculosus thallus extract (20:1) 12.5 mg   (250mg QCE)         3.75 mcg iodine         1.25mg polyphenols   *InSea2® is a clinically researched blend of polyphenol-rich brown seaweeds wildcrafted from the waters of the Canadian Maritime provinces. Non-medicinal ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, vegetable grade magnesium stearate and hypromellose (vegetable capsule).
