Benefits Of Each Ingredient |
| Vitamin C |
- Supports immune, cardiovascular, skin, cognitive, fat-burning, and digestive health (97, 98).
- Supports immune health via increased oxidant-free radical scavenging and fuels neutrophilic (immune cell) activity in chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and microbial killing (97,98).
- Supports fat burning by increasing carnitine biosynthesis (molecule required for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation) (97,98).
- Supports accelerate bone healing after a fracture, increase type I collagen synthesis, and reduce oxidative stress (inflammation) (98).
|
| Vitamin E |
- Supports immune function, cognitive health, cardiovascular health, and bone health (204,205,206,207,208)
- Supports immune health via neutralizing free radicals and reactive oxygen species and increases T lymphocyte-mediated immune function (204).
- Supports cardiovascular health via reduced cholesterol (204).
- Supports cognitive function via reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage of neuronal tissues (208).
|
| Zinc |
- Supports immune function, skin health, cognitive function, and vision (172,173).
- Supports stimulation of the innate and adaptive immune system (172,173).
- Supports the activation of lymphocytes and activation of innate and T cell-mediated immunity (172,173).
- Supports cognitive function by modulating neuronal signaling in areas of the brain associated with memory and learning (hippocampus) (172,173).
|
| L-Glutamine |
- The most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle fuels immune cells improves exercise recovery and optimizes the gut microbiome (18).
- Vital for lymphocyte (immune cell) proliferation (growth) and paramount in neutrophil (immune cell) destruction of bacteria (18).
- Vital for activating genetic signals that support immune function and vitality (18).
- Glutamine is utilized by immune cells at high rates during catabolic conditions (post-surgery, sepsis, burns, and extreme exercise (18).

| Elderberry Extract |
- Supports antioxidant function and cardiovascular health, combats respiratory infections, and acts as an antiviral agent (231,232,233,234).
- Supports antioxidant function due to polyphenolic content, increased free radical scavenging ability, and reduced inflammatory cytokines (231,232,233)
- May support antiviral activity against pathogens via flavonoids that bind to and prevent H1N1-type IV infection (234).
- Supports antimicrobial effects by combating bacteria that cause upper respiratory tract infections (Gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes and group C and G Streptococci) (234).
|
| Echinacea |
- Increases antiviral, anti-microbial, and antioxidant capacity and supports a robust immune system (159,160).
- Supports immune health via decreased impro-inflammatory markers (cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and TNF) (159,160).
- Supports adaptive and innate immunity via increased monocytes, neutrophils, natural killer cells, and CD8 T cells (159,160).
|
| Garlic |
- Supports cardiovascular, immune, joint health, reduced inflammation, gut health, and enhanced antibacterial activity (161).
- Supports cardiovascular health via reduced hypertension, reduced total cholesterol, reduced arterial stiffness (hardening of arteries), and markers of atherosclerosis (161).
- Supports joint health via reduced NF-κB activation (inflammation) in human fibroblast cells and reduced prevalence of pain in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (162).
- Supports gut health via increased prebiotic properties, increased microbiome population, and increased Lactobacillus and Clostridia species (163).
- Supports immune health by reducing inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF, IL-6) (164).
|
| Turmeric 95% curcuminoids |
- Supports antioxidant, cardio-protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, nephro-protective, hepato-protective, immunomodulatory, and anti-rheumatic effects (123).
- Reduces inflammation via decreased production of inflammatory markers such as c-reactive protein, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor, and cytokines (123).
- Supports joint health by decreasing connective tissue inflammation and improving pain in individuals with osteoarthritis (122).
- Supports blood sugar regulation via increased pancreatic beta cell function and improved insulin sensitivity (121).
- Supports cardiovascular and liver health via reduced accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE), reduced lipid peroxidation, and improved vascular function.
- Curcumin exhibits antioxidant activity by scavenging superoxide anion (∙O2−∙) and hydroxyl radicals (∙OH) (scavenging of inflammation molecules) (118,119).
- Curcumin modulates breast carcinogenesis through its effect on cell cycle and proliferation, apoptosis, senescence, cancer spread, and angiogenesis (119).
- Curcumin targets cancer growth pathways such as NFkB, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, MAPK, and JAK/STAT, suppressing tumor growth (119).
|
| Lactobacillus Acidophilus |
- Supports athletic performance, enhanced gut microbiome, increased muscle mass, immune health, reduced cortisol levels, digestive health, cognitive function, and improved allergy symptoms (103,104, 107, 108, 109).
- Supports 70% of the gut-immunological axis (gut immune system) via enhanced mucosal immune response (toll-like receptors) and upregulation of genetic markers associated with macrophage (gut-immune cell) activity (108, 109).
- Supports digestive and immune health via decreased irritable bowel symptoms, suppression of Helicobacter pylori growth (pathogenic bacteria), reduced histamine (reduced allergic response), and reduced gut inflammation (103, 104, 107, 108, 109).
- Supports athletic performance by reducing respiratory tract infections and muscle damage, improving body composition, reducing lactate-induced exercise (muscle burn), and body composition (108).
- Supports the gut-brain axis via increased neural, endocrine (hormonal), and anti-inflammatory modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis (108).
- Reduces inflammation via activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and downregulates the expression of nuclear factor (NF)—κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines (inflammation markers) (109).
