| AR-Encap:
240 capsules. AR-Encap is a comprehensive joint support formula that goes beyond simple glucosamine supplementation. This formula supplies the recommended daily dose of glucosamine in combination with other anti-inflammatory and joint-protecting nutrients and botanicals. Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), also known as dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2) and methyl sulfone, is an organic sulfur-containing compound that occurs naturally in a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and animals including humans. MSM possesses anti-inflammatory activity. Curcumin, the principal polyphenol in the Indian spice turmeric, exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects. Mechanisms of action include inhibition of proinflammatory eicosanoid formation by its inhibitions of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase. Curcumin has the potential to positively impact autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis by regulating inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma and associated signaling pathways, including NF-kappaB, in immune cells. Curcumin exhibits direct anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid and neutrophil function. This extract from turmeric has been found to be as effective as cortisone and phenylbutazone in acute inflammation, one-half as effective as these drugs for chronic inflammation, and more potent than ibuprofen as a stabilizer of lysosomal membranes. Glucosamine can provide relief from pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. In trials where glucosamine sulfate has been compared to NSAIDS, long-term reductions in pain are greater in patients receiving glucosamine sulfate. In addition to symptom relief, glucosamine supplementation may actually retard progression of joint disease by rebuilding damaged cartilage. In addition to glucosamine sulfate, MSM, and curcumin, AR-Encap contains the potent anti-inflammatory botanicals Boswellia and devil’s claw. Boswellia appears to specifically inhibit pro-inflammatory 5-lipoxygenase activity. Extracts of devil’s claw have been found to exert significant and dose-dependent antiinflammatory and analgesic effects in animal studies. In a double-blind study of patients with osteoarthritis, an herb/nutrient formula, whose main antiinflammatory ingredients were Boswellia and curcumin, resulted in significant pain reduction in the active treatment group compared to placebo. |

| Oscap Plus:
180 capsules. Osteoporosis prevention should consist of more than just calcium supplementation. Oscap provides vitamins and minerals essential for optimal bone density. The calcium is bound to citrate-malate, one of the best-absorbed forms of dietary calcium available. Dosages of calcium (citrate-malate) as low as 500 mg daily have been shown to significantly reduce bone loss. Adequate magnesium intake maintains bone density by regulating parathyroid hormone secretion and facilitating active calcium transport. Like calcium, the magnesium is provided in the highly absorbable citrate-malate form. Oscap provides vitamin D3, which facilitates absorption of calcium; boron, which assists the body’s metabolism of vitamin D and estrogen; and vanadium, which may prevent osteopenia. Research indicates increased homocysteine levels interfere with the integrity of the collagenous bone matrix. Oscap contains methylcobalamin (the active form of vitamin B12), folinic acid and 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate, (the active forms of folic acid), and pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6) for their function in maintaining low homocysteine levels. Equisetum arvense (horsetail) has been added as an excellent source of organic silica, an element found in high concentrations in healthy bones. In an effort to provide a bone-building formula that can be used by people taking blood-thinning medications, Oscap does not contain vitamin K. |

| Calcium citrate:
90 capsules. Calcium bound to kidney-protective citrate. Calcium bound to citric acid is another well-absorbed form of calcium. Citric acid is a naturally-occurring organic acid that is able to efficiently bind three mineral molecules for every one of its own molecules. Studies have shown significantly more calcium is absorbed in the body from calcium citrate than from calcium carbonate. One study found patients with low hydrochloric acid levels absorbed an average of 10 times more calcium from citrate than from carbonate. In addition, supplementation with calcium citrate does not increase the risk of calcium oxalate stone formation in the kidney. |

| Glucosamine & Chondroitin:
90 capsules. Supplementation with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates can provide significant benefit for musculoskeletal support. Chondroitin sulfates, a category of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), are required for the formation of important components of joint cartilage. These two nutrients support joint function by enhancing the body's production of GAGs and preventing their degradation. Evidence suggests supplementation with chondroitin sulfates supports joint structures. The combination of glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate may protect and support joint surfaces more effectively than glucosamine sulfate alone. Thorne Research's combination product – Glucosamine & Chondroitin – is offered as an option for individuals wishing to use a combination product to support joint integrity. |

| D-1000:
90 capsules. It is essential to maintain healthy vitamin D levels throughout all stages of life, from fetal development to old age. Vitamin D helps protect the body from bone disease and myriad other health conditions. Current vitamin D intake requirements are based on minimum allowances to protect against bone disease. These guidelines are now being revised upward in light of new research, especially pertaining to immune function. Cutting edge research suggests serum vitamin D levels should be in the range of 33-80 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). Although direct sunlight exposure is a good source of vitamin D, many people do not get enough sun due to season, latitude, or lifestyle. Therefore, vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these cases. While several factors contribute to decreased bone density and increased fracture rate, vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency clearly represents a significant factor. In a 2007 case-controlled study of the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study Cohort, women with the lowest levels of vitamin D (serum 25(OH) vitamin D less than 19 ng/mL) were found to have a 77-percent higher risk of hip fracture than women with the highest vitamin D level (average 28 ng/mL – which is still considered low). The amount of vitamin D needed to achieve minimum vitamin D sufficiency (commonly defined as a 32 ng/mL 25(OH)D blood level) depends on many factors and can vary significantly from individual to individual. Thus, the requirement for vitamin D supplementation needs to be individualized. Thorne’s D-1000 supplies 1,000 IU of pure, vitamin D3 in each vegetarian capsule. This potency is ideal for maintaining optimum vitamin D levels in healthy individuals. |

| Calcium Magnesium Citrate:
90 capsules. While calcium and magnesium are essential minerals for many functions in the body, citric acid (citrate) has significant health benefits of its own. Citric acid is an essential Kreb’s cycle intermediate that is necessary for energy production. Urinary levels tend to decrease with age, putting individuals at more risk for development of urinary calculi. Citric acid is thought to promote GI absorption by opening up epithelial tight junctions, thus enhancing the paracellular shunt pathway of calcium transport. Cal-Mag Citrate provides calcium and magnesium in a 1:1 ratio for improved uptake of calcium in the bone; magnesium helps prevent its deposition in the soft tissues. |

| Cal-Mag Citrate, Effervescent Powder:
8 ozs. The effervescent quality of citric acid coupled with its high dissociation constant greatly increase the bioavailability of citrate mineral chelates. Cal-Mag Citrate Effervescent Powder provides 500 mg calcium and 200 mg magnesium per scoop. This ratio is especially desirable for individuals who need a high dose of calcium but who, because of its laxative nature, cannot tolerate equal amounts of magnesium. One scoop also provides 500 mg of vitamin C and 500 mg of the amino acid glycine. Place the desired dosage into a small amount of water and allow it to effervesce. Once it has stopped bubbling, the solution can be consumed or mixed with juice. The resultant calcium and magnesium chelates include citrates, ascorbates, and glycinates. |

| Copper Picolinate:
60 capsules. Copper is an essential trace mineral for humans. Conditions associated with a copper deficiency include anemia, osteoporosis, low neutrophil counts, impaired glucose tolerance, arthritis, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease (with a tendency toward vessel weakness or aneurysms),
arrhythmias, neurological problems, and decreased skin pigmentation. Because copper and zinc compete with each other for absorption, high doses of zinc (50 mg daily for extended time periods) without copper can result in copper deficiency. Although copper can have pro-oxidant capabilities, it also demonstrates antioxidant properties. It is a cofactor for the essential endogenous antioxidants superoxide dismutase and ceruloplasmin. A deficiency of copper can render many cell types, including lipids and lymphocytes, more susceptible to oxidation. In a clinical setting, copper supplementation was shown to protect red blood cells from oxidation. |

| Boron Picolinate:
60 capsules. Recent data from animal and human studies suggest boron may be important for mineral metabolism, brain function and performance, hormone regulation, and prevention of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Boron is necessary for steroid hormone metabolism in humans, affecting the levels of estrogens and testosterone, possibly by facilitating hydroxylation reactions or by protecting steroid hormones from degradation. Boron appears to have anti-inflammatory activity, including inhibition of leukotriene synthesis, reduction of reactive oxygen species, and suppression of an over-active antibody expression. Boron deficiency impacts mineral metabolism, cognitive function, steroid hormone and vitamin levels, and bone integrity. Clinical evidence suggests a role for boron in treatment protocols for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Tissue homeostasis is maintained by the rapid
elimination of excess boron, primarily in the urine. |
