Probiotics are specific types of beneficial bacteria residing within the gut. They help to support overall health by aiding in the digestion and absorption of food, promoting a healthy immune response, and discouraging the growth of bad bacteria. Our Suprema-Dophilus Probiotic Formula provides a potent dose of these powerful microorganisms to support long-term intestinal health.†



Features
8 probiotic strains from Danisco, a world leader in probiotic research and manufacturing.
High potency at 5 billion viable cells per capsule, guaranteed to the expiration date.
Bio enhanced Acid Resistant Strains (BEARS) ensures survivability in both low (acid) and high (alkaline) pH environments.
The BEARS strains in this formula are designed to withstand the acid conditions present in the stomach during digestion without the need for an enteric coating.
Danisco strains used in this formula have been cultivated under harsh conditions so they are able to adapt to extreme changes in environment, such as stomach acid or temperature.
Probiotic strains are manufactured using a patented poly matrix preservation system, to preserve and ensure stability without the need for refrigeration.
The prebiotic blend consists of FOS (food source for probiotics), and FiberAid® arabinogalactans (patented prebiotic from Lonza®) to help support the growth of probiotics.


Benefits
The 8 strains used in this formula have been studied for their ability to support gastrointestinal and immune health.†
High potency formula helps to quickly reestablish healthy levels of probiotics in the GI tract.†
Once established, a normal, healthy intestinal microflora helps to create an environment that is unfavorable for the growth of pathogenic bacteria.†
Helps to stimulate the recolonization of probiotics which may have been diminished by the use of antibiotics.†

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that the body is unable to synthesize. It is an important amino acid found mostly in foods of animal origin and therefore usually low in individuals on vegan/vegetarian type diet. Lysine is essential for healthy collagen. Collagen is the underlying structural material of all soft tissue in the body. This makes lysine important for the production of healthy blood vessels, skin, cartilage, tendons, and other important structural components of the body. We also need lysine to make carnitine. Our L-Lysine is the highest quality free-form L-lysine available.†



Features
Also available in a 1,000mg tablet.
Free-form amino acid.
Vegetarian
Gluten-free


Benefits
L-Lysine is essential for normal, healthy collagen cross-linking which helps support the overall structure of collagen-containing structures such as skin, blood vessels, cartilage, tendons, etc.†
Important for the synthesis of carnitine. Carnitine is essential for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cell where they are oxidized for energy (ATP).
Particularly important for vegetarians & vegans who may be lacking in dietary sources of lysine.†

L-carnitine is a non-essential amino acid that can be synthesized in the body from the amino acids methionine and lysine. Insufficient amounts may be produced in infants, adolescents, and adults under certain physiological conditions. Vegetarians could also be at risk for carnitine deficiency, as carnitine is found in higher concentrations in animal foods such as beef, poultry, and pork. The amino acids that are required for the body to make carnitine (methionine and lysine) are also low in a vegetarian diet. The highest concentrations of L- carnitine are typically found in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. This tissue is incapable of synthesizing L-carnitine, so they depend upon dietary and supplemental sources as well as the body’s own ability to manufacture it. Studies show that exercising (skeletal) muscle and heart muscle requires large amounts of L-carnitine. The main function of L-L-carnitine is to help create energy. Cardiac (heart) and skeletal muscle have a significant energy requirement, hence the importance of L-carnitine for these tissues.†



Features
Provides 500mg L-carnitine per tablet along with vitamin B6.
Featuring trademarked L-Carnipure® from Lonza, a world leader in L-carnitine research and manufacturing. Many of the studies done on L-carnitine have used L-Carnipure®.


Benefits
L-carnitine is essential for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria (the energy powerhouse of the cell) where they can be used to make energy to be used by the cells.†
L-carnitine has been shown to help support healthy cardiovascular function, especially the efficiency of the heart muscle which uses fat as its major source of energy.†
L-carnitine helps provide energy for exercising muscle, supporting exercise performance.†
Studies show L-carnitine helps support normal, healthy blood triglyceride levels.†

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid required by the body to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. The body uses tryptophan to make 5-HTP, and then this gets converted into serotonin. Oftentimes this process is not efficient and does not produce adequate serotonin. Therefore, an increased intake of 5-HTP becomes important. Numerous scientific studies show 5-HTP is of benefit in individuals with mood disorders. Our 5-HTP is from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. 5-HTP has many advantages over L-tryptophan: besides being safer to produce and arguably more potent, it can cross the very selective blood-brain barrier more easily than L-tryptophan. Once it passes through the blood-brain barrier it is able to help increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, whose levels are positively associated with mood.



Features
Provides 100mg of 5-Hydroxytryptophan.
Sourced from European standardized Griffonia bean extract.
Contains synergistic nutrients vitamin C and B6.


Benefits
5-HTP is more efficient at crossing the blood-brain barrier, therefore it is a more effective way to support the synthesis of serotonin in the brain.†
Serotonin is responsible for regulating appetite and mood, and serves as a precursor to melatonin – a hormone involved in regulating the sleep cycle.†
Serotonin helps support a more balanced emotional state.†
5-HTP is a more efficient way to increase serotonin levels, as tryptophan must compete with other amino acids as part of protein in the diet for absorption. Some of the tryptophan is used to make the vitamin niacin, and may be taken up by cells other than brain cells as a source of amino acids.
Studies show 5-HTP is safe and effective for supporting mood, healthy food intake, and a better outlook on life.†

L-Tyrosine is one of the amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. It is part of the chemical reactions in your body that create the neurotransmitter dopamine and other hormones. The body makes tyrosine from another amino acid called phenylalanine. Tyrosine can also be found in dairy products, meats, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, oats, and wheat. Tyrosine is essential for several important biochemical/ physiological functions related to thyroid, brain, and skin health. Our L-Tyrosine is in the free form and includes the synergistic benefits of vitamin B6.



Features
Provides 500 mg L-tyrosine per serving.
Easy to swallow capsule.
Includes vitamin B6 which is required for tyrosine synthesis.
Gluten-free


Benefits
Tyrosine is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine; all of which play a significant role in normal, healthy nervous system function.†
Tyrosine serves as a precursor to the skin, eye, and hair pigment melanin. Melanocytes convert tyrosine into melanin.†
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder where phenylalanine cannot be metabolized, causing it to build up. This typically causes damage to the central nervous system. In these individuals, tyrosine becomes a conditionally-essential amino acid that needs to be consumed in the diet.†
The body uses tyrosine to make thyroxine, a thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are made up mostly of tyrosine with iodine molecules attached to it. Thyroid hormones help control the body’s metabolic processes.†

Papaya is a natural plant source that contains a combination of proteolytic enzymes that have been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response.† It is believed to work by supporting a healthy balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.† Papaya provides Papain, a proteolytic enzyme that helps digest protein in foods.
