• Promotes Healthy Response to Stress

  NEW & IMPROVED!!!   A comprehensive blend of the highest-quality adaptogenic herbs.  These ingredients aid in adrenal hormone production and support the body's adaptogenic response.  Also unlike many adrenal formulas on the market, Adrenal Forte is fully vegan.*

  A complete adrenal and adaptogenic solution in one bottle!  This formula incorporates the latest scientific research on nutrition and metabolic functions.  Individual nutrients are formulated for maximum bioavailability, synergy and hormonal activation.*  Specific features include:

  • Cordyceps sinensis is seen as a very precious medicinal mushroom in China and other Asian countries. For over 2000 years, Cordyceps sinensis has been used as a tonic, to increase health and vitality, combat aging and help against various age-related diseases. It is a safe, highly valued herb with activities that support nearly every physiological system impacted by the body’s response to normal everyday stressors, including the immune and cardiovascular systems.  In addition the cell-protective and antioxidant activities of Cordyceps have been well documented.*

  • Rhodiola rosea is an herb which provides both cognitive stimulation and emotional calming.  A number of studies have shown that Rhodiola can dramatically reduce mental and physical fatigue under stressful conditions by increasing the body’s energy levels.  It is believed that Rhodiola enhances the body’s tolerance to stress by influencing key brain chemicals, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, and natural feel-good opioids such as beta-endorphins.  According to a review of the literature on Rhodiola, supplementation supports healthy work performance, quality of sleep, appetite, and energy levels subsequent to intense physical or intellectual strain.*

  • Panax Ginseng (Red Ginseng) has been used in medicine for over 5000 years.  It enhances athletic performance, and provides energy to people who are stressed or fatigued. Studies show that ginseng and ginsenosides have beneficial effects in supporting the adrenal glands, protecting the gastric mucosa, and supporting healthy body weight, blood hormones, and the gene expression of catecholamine synthesizing enzymes.  Ginsenosides also support the immune system and have cytokine-modulating activities.*

  • Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) - Is not actually ginseng, but rather a different plant species.  It contains eleutheroside compounds instead of ginsenosides and is known to stimulate the immune system, increase energy and reduce fatigue. Eleuthero has also been associated with increased mental ability, concentration and greater alertness.*

  • Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera), one of the most vital herbs in Ayurvedic healing, has been used since ancient times for a wide variety of conditions, but is most well-known for its restorative benefits.  It is the ginseng of the Ayurvedic medicine.  It helps improve physical energy and athletic ability, increase immunity to colds and infections and increase sexual capacity and fertility.  Ashwaganda seems to show positive effects on the endocrine, cardio, and central nervous systems.  It is one herb that could help your body produce its own thyroid hormones.*

  Standard Dosage:  Take four capsules daily in divided doses or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

• Blood Fat Normalizing / Metabolic Optimizing / Anti-Aging Formula*

  We are extremely happy to announce that Cholest-X™ is being reformulated and replaced with a vastly superior cholesterol-reducing formula called Metabolic MD™. When taken as directed Metabolic MD™ is a good tasting liposomal formula designed to achieve double the cholesterol-lowering effects than Cholest-X™. Metabolic MD™ is designed to work quickly, and then cost-effectively to keep blood fat levels normal.*

  Metabolic MD™ is a synergistic, comprehensive evidence-based formulation* designed to:

  • Attain 4 to 6 times the blood levels of ingredients compared to standard oral formulas*
  • Achieve optimal bio-absorption, unexcelled bio-availability and superior bio-utilization compared to standard oral formulas*
  • Accomplish regenerative medical outcomes in complex metabolic “group” disturbances such as excessive body fat, elevated blood cholesterol, high triglycerides, elevated LDL levels, abnormal HbA1c levels, and insulin dysregulation.*
  • Provide fast reductions in cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL levels*
  • Quickly achieve and maintain ideal weight and body mass index (BMI) outcomes, even for the more stubborn overweight cases*
  • Help resolve the key underlying factors causing plaque and blood clots*
  • Effectively suppresses: (1) Advanced glycation end products (or AGEs, which is regarded by medical authorities as the primary driving force to the aging process), and (2) assaults and injuries to the critical inner lining to blood vessels*

  To achieve all of the above, Metabolic MD™ incorporates all non-GMO ingredients in a proprietary synergistic ratio* including:

  • Liposomal Berberine
  • Liposomal Irvingia gabonensis (IGOB-131®)
  • Liposomal Camellia sinensis
  • Select Liposomal Bioactivated B-Complex vitamins → Benfotiamine, P-5-P and Pantethine
  • Select amino acids in Liposomal format → Acetyl-l-tyrosine and 5-HTP
  • Key minerals → Liposomal Vanadium and Iodine

  Take 5ml (1 teaspoon) twice daily in juice or liquid, at breakfast and dinner.

  Metabolic MD™ is expected to become available this August.

Daily Two Multivitamin 60 vcaps

• Description
• FAQ
• Webinar
• Whitepaper/Refs

• Complete Daily Multivitamin

  A two capsule multivitamin with the same hormonal activators as Essentials 5 in 1 such as Zinc, Selenium, Iodine and B12.  Ideal for sensitive individuals of those who have already achieved optimum nutritional status. Daily Two is a complete daily multivitamin with full doses of nutrients!  This formula incorporates the latest scientific research on nutrition and metabolic functions.  Individual nutrients are formulated for maximum bioavailability, synergy, hormonal activation and anioxidant capacity.* 

• Specific features include:
• Vitamin A complex - Includes a complete spectrum of beta-carotene and mixed carotenoids. It is a completely natural form derived from the pristine seas of the South Pacific.*
• Activated B-vitamin complex - Each B vitamin is in its co-enzymated format for optimal bio-utilization. For example, our folic acid is present in Daily Two as methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHFR), rendering this product safe for deficient-methylators. Dosages used eliminate the need for stress-B-complex.*
• Vitamin C complex - In a very gentle form for the gastrointestinal system. It is also combined with a full spectrum natural citrus bioflavanoids which optimizes utilization.*
• Vitamin E complex - Synergistically active blend of oil soluble Alpha-Tocopherol, Gamma-Tocopherol and Sesame lignans, plus water soluble Vitamin E succinate (d-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate or alpha-TS). This powerful combination downregulates NF-KB, a primary inducer of inflammation, and enhances benefits of hyperthermia treatments. However, Alpha-Tocopherol alone is susceptible to becoming deactivated by free radicals without Gamma-Tocopherol. Gamma-Tocopherol is a more effective trap than Alpha-Tocopherol for reactive nitrogen oxides, which are toxic to the body. And Sesame lignans add to this synergism by their strong anti-inflammatory (i.e., downregulates NF-KB), lipid-lowering and anti-plaque effects.*
• Vitamin K2 - Is critical for bone building and breaking apart unhealthy plaque. Daily Two and our other multinutrient formula Essentials 5 in1 both contain Vitamin K2, making them the exclusive leaders in the field of multi-vitamin-mineral formulas due to their enzyme-fortified, broad-spectrum mineral-rich, synergistic bioavailability.*
• Albion’s TRAACS® Chelated Minerals: Clinically proven, chemically validated mineral amino acid chelates. They represent the gold standard in patented, pharmaceutical grade mineral chelates. Every TRAACS® mineral compound is validated and “fingerprinted” to ensure lot-to-lot conformity to Albion’s high standards. TRAACS® mineral amino acid chelates deliver the following measurable results: 1. Highly bioavailable and easily digested; 2. Safe, predictable and effective; 3. Stable in acidic environments; 4. Hypoallergenic, Kosher-Pareve and vegetarian friendly.*
• Digestive Enzyme Blend acts as a crucial cofactor in the proper  absorption of nutrients.*
• Bioperine® has been added because it has been clinically shown to further increase the bioavailability of a wide range of nutrients.*

• Standard Dosage: Take two capsules daily in divided doses with meals.
