Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of mortality in the United States. One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is elevated total and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. There are several categories of prescription drugs that are designed to help lower cholesterol; the most commonly prescribed being the Statin drugs. Statins are effective at lowering total and LDL cholesterol, but they are associated with significant side effects. Many individuals with elevated cholesterol have been able to improve their cardiovascular health through diet, exercise, and nutraceutical supplements. One of the nutraceuticals that has been shown in research studies to support normal LDL and total cholesterol levels is red yeast rice. Red yeast rice is the product of yeast (Monascus purpureus) grown on rice, and is served as a dietary staple in some Asian countries. It contains several compounds that are collectively known as monacolins which support the mechanisms that can lead to improved cardiovascular health.† It is also important to support healthy liver function when taking red yeast rice or a Statin. Therefore, Red Yeast Rice Plus is combined with CoQ10 as well as compounds N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and standardized milk thistle for added liver support.†



Features
600mg of red yeast rice per serving.
Carefully manufactured to avoid the presence of citrinin, a toxic by-product of the fermentation process.
Includes 30mg CoQ10, 50mg NAC, and 25mg standardized Milk Thistle to help support healthy liver function.†
Easy to swallow vegetarian capsule.
Gluten-Free.


Benefits
Red yeast rice has been shown in numerous studies to help support cardiovascular health.†
Studies have shown that red yeast rice can significantly lower levels of total cholesterol and specifically LDL.†
Red yeast rice supports normal triglyceride, LDL, and total cholesterol levels.†
Cardiac (heart) cells, muscle, and cells of the liver have a significant amount of mitochondria and a very large energy requirement. CoQ10 is vital to the energy-producing processes that help maintain normal, healthy heart, muscle, and liver function.†
NAC serves as a source of cysteine required for the liver’s synthesis of glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant and detoxing compound found in the liver. NAC has been shown in studies to help protect the liver from the effects of drug and/or alcohol toxicity.†
Milk thistle’s active ingredient silymarin is effective at protecting the liver from acute and chronic exposure to toxins. Milk thistle has been shown to protect hepatic cells and support overall healthy liver function and detoxification.†

L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea leaves, and is one of nature’s most effective natural relaxants. Substantive clinical research demonstrates L-Theanine’s primary method of action: it increases dopamine and serotonin production in the brain and induces relaxation through the enhancement of alpha wave activity in the brain, permitting a natural calm. AlphaWave® L-Theanine is produced through a proprietary fermentation process that results in a highly purified form of the amino acid. Today, the reason for AlphaWave®’s L-Theanine growing consumer demand is that when people take it, they feel a difference. AlphaWave® L-Theanine directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of deep relaxation and focused energy.†

A positive mood is supported by normal, healthy levels of specific neurotransmitters in the brain. Several nutrients are involved in the production of these neurotransmitters. We created our Mood Support formula to help address the “deficiencies” that might contribute to difficulty in stabilizing a person’s mood. There are several herbs and other nutraceuticals that may help support a “healthy” mood. St. John’s Wort is widely regarded for its mood supporting benefits.† Siberian Eleutherococcus is an effective adaptogen, which has been shown to support healthy stress response and a natural “boost” in energy levels.† Numerous scientific studies show 5- HTP is of benefit in individuals with mood disorders.† 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
EuroMed European Standardized St. John’s Wort.
Standardized to 0.3% hypericin.
Griffonia bean extract standardized to 98% L-5-HTP.
L-tyrosine for neurotransmitter synthesis.
Inositol serves as an important messenger molecule in the brain.


Benefits
St. John’s Wort supports a normal positive outlook.†
Studies have shown a benefit in mild to moderate mood disorders.† St. John’s has not been studied for major depression and therefore should not be used for such.
Twenty out of twenty-three clinical studies (including 2,745 patients) on European standardized St. John’s Wort demonstrated positive results for depression. Five of these studies were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (totaling 626 patients), and showed significant benefits without significant side effects.
Eleven clinical studies have been done comparing St. John’s Wort to prescription antidepressants, concluding that it is effective for mild to moderate mood disorders.†
Our St. John’s Wort is made to the exact same specifications as that used in the studies.
Siberian Eleuthero is an adaptogen which helps provides support for a healthy response to stress, which in turn may help support a better mood and brighter “outlook”.†
L-tyrosine is an amino acid that is used to manufacture neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine both required for normal, brain, and nervous system function.†

Brain Support is a synergistic combination of “smart” nutrients designed to help support normal, healthy brain function.† Supporting brain function becomes even more important as we age. The Brain Support formula is designed to help retard the cognitive decline associated with the aging process.† Cognitive decline is caused by many factors including, oxidative damage from free radicals, damage to blood vessels, poor circulation, accumulation of toxic compounds in brain cells, and inadequate production and function of neurotransmitters. Brain Support is a powerful formula containing key ingredients designed for the support of normal, healthy brain function.†

Provides L-Carnitine Tartrate, a form of L-carnitine that is able to pass through the highly selective blood-brain barrier.


Benefits
Ginkgo biloba protects the elasticity and health of blood vessels that supply the brain.† Ginkgo helps support normal, healthy circulation to the brain.† Improved brain circulation may help support oxygen and glucose uptake as well as the removal of waste products, all of which contribute to healthy brain function.† Ginkgo also contains potent antioxidants to help protect the brain against the damaging effects of free radicals.†
SerinAID® brand of phosphatidylserine (PS) helps provide structural support for brain cell membranes, critical for normal, healthy brain function. PS may help support memory, concentration, focus, and other cognitive functions. In addition, PS helps promote healthy levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which when produced in excess can impact healthy brain function.†
L-Carnitine Tartrate helps support the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is essential for normal, healthy brain function. L-Carnitine Tartrate has been shown to play a role in maintaining normal brain function as we age, and studies demonstrate it helps support memory and promote a positive mood.†
DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is critical to the normal structure and function of nerve cell membranes. The brain and retina contain the highest levels of DHA. DHA helps support the brain’s ability to transmit nerve signals and studies show this fatty acid is intimately involved in brain function, particularly mood, memory, and behavior.†
