| HMC Hesperidin:
60 capsules. Hesperidin is the predominant flavonoid in lemons and oranges. While hesperidin itself is not very water soluble, Thorne’s patented hesperidin methyl chalcone (HMC) form is highly soluble, allowing for greater absorption of the molecule from the gastrointestinal tract. As with all flavonoids, HMC is an antioxidant. It stabilizes histamine-releasing mast cells and inhibits the cataract-producing enzyme aldose reductase. In addition, HMC has anti-inflammatory and blood vessel-stabilizing effects. Taken along with vitamin C, HMC was shown to significantly decrease the incidence of hot flashes in menopausal women. Although hesperidin methyl chalcone is included in Meta-Balance because of its ability to alleviate hot flashes, Meta-Balance also contains phytoestrogenic botanicals that might be contraindicated is some patients (those with a history of hormone-related cancers, for instance). Therefore, we offer hesperidin methyl chalcone as a stand-alone product. |

| O.P.C.-100:
60 capsules. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are dimer, trimer, and oligomer flavonoids; meaning, they are comprised of two, three, or more flavonoid molecules attached to each other. These OPCs demonstrate important vascular protective effects. OPCs also have strong free radical scavenging ability, resulting in inhibition of oxidative damage and protection of blood vessels and other tissues. OPCs have been shown to inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol and to protect vascular endothelial cells from damage. The positive effects of OPCs on microcirculation are additionally attributed to decreased incidence of foam cells, markers of early stage atherosclerosis. OPCs also appear to strengthen the resistance of cell membranes to injury and degradation and bind copper and iron, thereby reducing their oxidative effects. OPCs may have a vitamin E-sparing effect. A clinical study of 10 healthy volunteers examining the effect of OPC supplementation on markers of oxidative stress showed significantly increased levels of alpha-tocopherol in red blood cell membranes. Evidence suggests OPCs stabilize collagen cross-linkage within skin and other connective tissues. OPCs have also been shown to decrease capillary permeability (thus decreasing bruising and telangiectasia) and block the effects of hyaluronidase, elastase, collagenase, and other enzymes that degrade connective tissue. Clinical studies demonstrate reduced swelling and improved healing time from sports injuries in athletes given OPCs prior to a sporting event. |

| Meriva-SR:
120 capsules. Meriva-SR is a unique, patented time-release curcumin product available exclusively from Thorne Research. People throughout Asia have benefited from the healthful effects of curcumin for centuries. Curcumin is the orange pigment in turmeric (the primary ingredient in curry), and is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits, including supporting joint health and cardiovascular function, and helping to maintain the body's normal inflammatory response. Whether taken as a supplement or from food, curcumin is generally poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. In conjunction with Indena S.p.A., the worldwide experts in botanical extract technology, we have uncovered the key to curcumin absorption - phytosome technology. Meriva Curcumin Phytosome is a unique curcumin extract that is significantly better absorbed than other curcumin extracts. Phytosomes are plant extracts bound to phosphatidylcholine (PC), an essential component of human cells. Our bodies can make PC, but we can also get it from food or supplements. When taken orally, PC is very well absorbed. The scientists at Indena found a way to attach a curcumin extract to PC for superior absorption, resulting in Meriva. When you take Meriva your body absorbs the PC and the attached curcumin, resulting in more curcumin reaching the cells that can benefit from it. A 2007 study published in the journal, Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, demonstrated Meriva's superior bioavailability compared to ordinary curcumin. This animal study indicated a significantly greater plasma concentration time curve, with an area under the curve (AUC) five times higher for Meriva. Liver levels of curcumin were also higher with Meriva supplementation. A recent human study (not yet published) demonstrated even greater bioavailability. Meriva supplementation resulted in significantly better absorption, with better plasma concentrations of curcumin from a much smaller dose than with ordinary curcumin. Several studies have illustrated curcumin's hepatoprotective effects, leading researchers to suggest its use in protecting the liver from exogenous insults from environmental toxins, such as acetaminophen and carbon tetrachloride. Curcumin also has the capacity to increase both the flow and solubility of bile. Curcumin's hepatoprotective effects are due in part to direct free-radical scavenging; but curcumin also enhances the body's natural antioxidant system, which increases glutathione levels, thereby aiding in hepatic detoxification and inhibiting nitrosamine formation. |

| Cysteplus:
90 capsules. Well recognized for its powerful detoxification capability in the liver. Strong antioxidant activity with multiple beneficial impacts. Supports good pulmonary health by decreasing thickness of mucus. N-acetylcysteine for liver support, detoxification, and immune support. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a sulfur-containing amino acid, is the precursor of the amino acids L-cysteine and glutathione. Animal and human studies of NAC have shown it to have powerful antioxidant activity. In addition to its antioxidant activity, NAC is effective in promoting normal liver detoxification. As a sulfur source, NAC stimulates glutathione (an important antioxidant produced in the body) synthesis and activity, promotes liver detoxification, and is a powerful molecule capable of scavenging free radicals. Research suggests NAC is capable of enhancing immunity. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, NAC was shown to positively impact lymphocyte cell numbers. NAC has application for maintaining good pulmonary health due to its mucolytic activity. NAC’s sulfur cleaves bonds in mucoproteins, causing mucus to be subsequently broken into smaller, less viscous pieces. NAC has been noted to decrease the viscoelasticity of nasal mucus and increase the clearance of mucus by the cilia by thinning of secretions, thus helping maintain good pulmonary health. |

| Selenium Picolinate:
60 capsules. Numerous studies have found a relationship between low serum selenium and higher incidence of certain chronic diseases. Epidemiological studies indicate low selenium levels are associated with cardiomyopathy and other cardiovascular conditions, increased rates of carcinogenesis, endemic goiter, multiple sclerosis, progression of HIV, rheumatoid arthritis, liver disease, hypothyroidism, asthma, cataracts, food allergies, and male infertility. Selenium supplementation may exert a protective effect against mercury, cadmium, and other heavy metal toxicities. Selenium picolinate is a patented, highly absorbable selenium chelate, available only from Thorne Research. |

| Planti-Oxidants:
60 capsules. Free radical damage has been implicated in a number of adverse health conditions. Free radicals can attack, infiltrate, and injure vital cell structures, leading to a destructive chain reaction called lipid peroxidation. This series of reactions causes damage to the lipid layer of cell membranes and can even cause DNA breakage. Free radicals are produced as a result of normal biochemical processes, certain diseases, and environmental or dietary stress. An imbalance of pro-oxidant versus antioxidant processes (i.e., oxidative stress), which occurs more readily as we age, can cause cellular damage and contribute to a number of conditions that are detrimental to health and well being. Flavonoid molecules found in pigmented fruits and vegetables are responsible for providing color to the plant. In addition, these plant-based flavonoids have been found in numerous studies to exhibit antioxidant activity. When these common plants are eaten, the antioxidant activity of their flavonoids is passed on to us. Unfortunately, most individuals generally do not eat enough fruits and vegetables to gain the full benefit of their flavonoid content. Planti-Oxidants is a combination of several of the best-researched flavonoid compounds, including silybin from milk thistle (Silybum marianum) as Siliphos, polyphenolic catechins from green tea as Greenselect Phytosome, oligomeric proanthocyanidins from grape seed extract as Leucoselect Phytosome, anthocyanidins from bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), and Thorne Research's patented water-soluble quercetin. (Water-soluble Quercetin protected under U.S. Patent No. 5,977,184 for Quercetin Chalcone.) These powerful plant antioxidants enhance the activity of nutrient-based antioxidants. |

| Pure Ascorbic Acid:
250 capsules, 1000 mg. Providing 1,000 mg vitamin C in each vegetarian capsule. High amounts of vitamin C – several grams daily – have been advocated for optimizing both immune function and antioxidant support. Evidence for the efficacy of consuming high amounts of ascorbic acid is due in large part to the groundbreaking research conducted in the 1970s and 1980s by two-time Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, PhD. |
