A vegetarian formula of herbal adaptogens to provide basic support for adrenal function.

AdrenaMax by Nutritional Frontiers promotes resilience to stress by supporting the function of the adrenal glands. The herbs in Adrenamax have traditionally been used to help with both hyper-function and hypo-function of the adrenal glands, hence they are classified as ‘adaptogens.

• Cordyceps Mycelium Extract is a medicinal mushroom popular in China and Tibet. Herbalists recommend cordyceps to improve energy, sexual function, athletic performance, and immune function.
• Panax ginseng is also called Chinese ginseng or Asian ginseng, and has been in use since at least the 1st century C.E. Its many constituents, such as ginsenosides and panaxans, contribute to systemic effects such as supporting immune function, lowering blood sugar, improving libido and erectile dysfunction, increasing sperm count, and enhancing physical and intellectual performance.
• • Eleutherococcus senticosus has a variety of applications in the body, such as improving attention, mood, and stress tolerance. People who are debilitated from cancer, chemotherapy, cardiovascular disease, or other chronic health conditions may benefit from this root. Also known as Siberian ginseng, this has been used by herbalists from many countries for at least 2000 years. Eleuthero is stimulating and warming.
• Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root is native to Sri Lanka, India, Africa, and Pakistan. A relaxing adaptogen and tonic, this plant is useful for ‘building up’ people who are debilitated from long term stress. Ashwagandha helps in both acute and chronic stress conditions as well as those struggling with insomnia, inflammatory diseases, and anxiety.
• Rhodiola rosea root has been used in Siberia, other parts of the former Soviet Union, Scandinavia, Germany, and other European countries as an adrenal adaptogen with actions similar to Siberian ginseng. Rhodiola may help endurance, cognitive function, immune function, weight management, athletic performance, and energy levels.
• Glycyrrhiza glabra is commonly known as licorice, a plant with a variety of actions in the body. Glycyrrhiza assists with recovery from long term stress by increasing the half life of cortisol. Licorice blocks leukotrienes and therefore possesses anti-inflammatory capabilities. Glycyrrhiza is often used as a demulcent to heal the digestive tract and as an anti-viral and antioxidant. Those with high blood pressure must use caution when ingesting licorice, as it may worsen hypertension in some people.

Thyro Complete is a dietary supplement to support healthy thyroid function and physiology.*

Thyro Complete:

A thyroid glandular formulation that blends hypothalamus, pituitary and thyroxine-free thyroid glandular tissue with the most clinically significant nutrients and branded, clinically supported extracts of ashwagandha and forskohlli for optimal thyroid health.*

Glandular Tissue:

Glandular tissue, when applied to support a specific organ, can provide balance for multiple factors, including nucleic acids and organ-specific enzymes, which help promote the growth and maintenance of organs and glands.*

This formula contains glandular tissue that relates directly to the thyroid and higher level glands which dictate the function and activity of the thyroid gland, including the pituitary and hypothalamus.

Minerals:

Iodine (Thorvin™) is a deep water exclusive Icelandic kelp, Thorvin’s Laminaria digitata is higher in total nutrients, particularly iodine, potassium, and specific amino acids. A highly bioavailable form, Thorvin’s Asco Iodine content averages 780 parts per million (ppm), the highest on the market.

Zinc (TRACCS™) is essential for the conversion of T4 to T3 and also lends itself to the integrity and functionality of the T3 receptor itself.

Selenium (Albion™) is required for thyroid hormone production, activation and metabolism. It is an essential component of deiodinase enzymes which convert T4 to T3.

Copper (TRACCS™) plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormone and also acts as an antagonist to Zinc, helping to promote a balanced mineral profile.*

Amino Acid:
L-Tyrosine is a building block for the production of thyroid hormone. Thyroxine is a tyrosine-based hormone, which is also comprised of iodine.

Herbal extracts:

Sensoril® Ashwagandha: Recent studies have indicated that in addition to the support provided by Sensoril® for healthy cortisol levels (which will in turn support a healthy level of T3 hormone) it may also support T4 production directly. (1)

Coleus Forskohlii (ForsLean® Brand) Extract: Supports thyroid function directly and also supports lean body mass through ergogenic activity.* It stimulates AMP (adenosine monophosphate), which then stimulates metabolism for greater fat burning.*

Women’s Complete is the New Frontier in Multivitamins uniquely formulated for women of all ages, from menstruation, conception and pregnancy through menopause. This new women’s wellness complex is a high-quality multivitamin-mineral supplement that includes bioavailable ingredients in nutritionally meaningful amounts. Women’s Complete contains activated vitamins, chelated minerals and the best form of specialty ingredients including DMG, inositol and super foods, along with a unique, proprietary probiotic complex. This formula was created to enhance all facets of women’s health, including heart, reproductive, GI and musculoskeletal health as well as skin, hair and nail care. Comprised of Patented, Researched and Trademarked ingredients, Women’s Complete is an easy to swallow vegetarian capsule that is also easy for your body to absorb.

Vitamin Blends and Patented Researched Trademarked Ingredients (PRT) Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin is used for the Women’s Complete formulation. Many companies use cyanocobalamin, a form of B12 that is cheaper and not as well utilized by the body.

Furthermore, Women’s Complete contains the reputable Gnosis folate derivative, Quatrefolic® that provides 800 mcg of folate. Quatrefolic® is more quickly absorbed compared to other forms of folic acid. Folic acid is synthetic whereas folate, also called 5-MTHF or 5-methylfolate, is the natural form that is more easily utilized by the body. Folate is well absorbed even when gastrointestinal pH is altered, and folate’s bioavailability is not affected by metabolic defects. Since research suggests that up to 30% of the population cannot metabolize un-methylated forms of synthetic folic acid, Quatrefolic® is vital for a significant portion of the population. Folate works together with vitamin B-12 to support normal production of important, mood-regulating neurotransmitters. Furthermore, methylated folate is essential for converting homocysteine to methionine, a process that protects cardiovascular health.

Naturally fermented vitaMK7® can assure that the body will profit from calcium (naturally absorbed and/or supplemented) by driving it to where it is needed. VitaMK7® may have a crucial role in bone tissue homeostasis at 45 μg/daily, improving bone mineral density (BMD), activating bone formation by stimulating osteoblastic cells and reducing calcium concentration into blood.

In their ordinary form, minerals are difficult for the body to absorb through the intestine. Albion™ and TRAACS™ mineral blend which produces low molecular weight mineral compounds. These minerals are bound to amino acids to produce natural organic chelates that can pass easily through the intestinal wall. Calcium/Magnesium is utilized in a desired 2:1 ratio utilizing the best forms of chelated Minerals.

Ferrochel™ Iron, or Ferrous Bis-Glycinate Chelate Iron is an important blood building nutrient for a baby as well as for the mother. An iron deficiency means that new blood cells will be unable to transport enough levels of oxygen to the fetus.

Vitacholine™ Choline is critical to prenatal cognitive development and lifelong memory.

Women’s Complete combines specialty ingredients to benefit women’s wellness. DMG is used to support methylation and neurotransmitter production, healthy immune cells, DNA production, estrogen levels histamine, and fat metabolism, detoxification, cellular energy and gene expression.

Inositol is included as it may be beneficial for improving the function of the ovaries and fertility in women, even those suffering with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Research has found that inositol supplements may improve menstrual cycle regularity, ovulation and pregnancy rates.

Boron seems to affect the way the body handles other minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. It also seems to improve estrogen levels in older (post-menopausal) women. Estrogen is thought to be helpful in maintaining healthy bones and mental function.

A Super Probiotic Blend containing Lactospore® Lactobacillus rhamnosus is utilized in Women’s Complete. Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a probiotic species that has been shown to provide key immune and digestive support to both mother and baby and Lactospore®, the only spore-forming probiotic, has been useful in the treatment of recurring diarrhea caused by the toxin produced by Clostridium difficile. Lactobacilli have also been successfully used as adjuvants in the treatment of fungal and protozoal vaginitis and in the treatment of non-specific bacterial vaginitis.

Use of an organic proprietary Super Food Blend is what makes antioxidant defense an important component of the Women’s Complete supplement. The high ORAC Whole Food Complex is comprised of a proprietary blend of cranberry, broccoli, garlic, grape seed extract, wheat grass, apple pectin, celery seed, chlorella, papaya, and spirulina. The term “SuperFoods” was originally used by NASA in the 1960's. NASA was looking for the most nutrient dense foods on the planet to help keep Astronauts nourished in space while adding the least amount of weight. After a tremendous amount of research, they found the 2 most nutrient dense foods on the planet are Spirulina and Chlorella.
