Nutrition Details
Vitamin E: Supports immune function, cognitive health, cardiovascular health, and bone health (204,205,206,207,208). Supports immune health via neutralizing free radicals and reactive oxygen species, and increased T lymphocyte-mediated immune function (204). Supports cardiovascular health via reduced cholesterol (204). Supports cognitive function via reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage of neuronal tissues (208).
Vitamin B6: Serves as a cofactor in more than 150 enzymatic reactions associated in blood sugar regulation, immunity, cardiovascular function, neuronal health, metabolic, and digestive health (38, 40). Reduces plasma glucose (blood sugar levels) via by inhibiting the activity of small-intestinal α-glucosidases (enzymes associated with glucose metabolism) (39). Functions as an antioxidant by counteracting the formation of reactive oxygen species (inflammatory markers) and advanced glycation end-products (38,40). May support blood sugar regulation in women with gestational diabetes (40). Cofactor for enzymes involved in DNA metabolism (40).
Zinc: Supports immune function, skin health, cognitive function, and vision (172,173). Supports stimulation of the innate and adaptive immune system (172,173). Supports the activation of lymphocytes and activation of innate and T cell-mediated immunity (172,173). Supports cognitive function by modulation of neuronal signaling in areas of the brain associated with memory and learning (hippocampus) (172,173).
Copper: Supports healthy blood sugar levels, energy metabolism and cholesterol management (143,144).
Selenium: Supports antioxidant function, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, thyroid health, and immune health (145, 146). Combats atherosclerosis, high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), and type 1 diabetes (147). Supports thyroid health via decreased circulating thyroid autoantibodies in patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) (146). Increases the activity of selenoproteins that decrease reactive oxygen species (inflammation), increases natural killer activity, and increases glutathione (master antioxidant) levels (145,147).
Saw Palmetto: Supports prostate health, cardiovascular health, and increased hair growth (133,134). Supports prostate health via anti-androgenic and anti-inflammatory effects resulting in reduced Benign prostatic hyperplasia (134).
Pygeum Africanum: Supports healthy testosterone levels, improves prostate health, and reduces chronic inflammation (19).
Red Raspberry: A natural aromatic compound derived from raspberries enhancing fat oxidation(burning) and antioxidant protective mechanisms (20). Supports suppression of lipid accumulation (fat build-up) in adipocytes (fat cells) (21). Increases total antioxidant capacity by increasing enzymes associated with decreasing reactive oxygen species (superoxide dismutase) (22). Increases natural production of master antioxidant L-Glutathione (22).
Graviola: Supports antioxidant function, reduces inflammation, and aids an antimicrobial agent (186,187).
Supports antioxidant function via 200 phytochemicals and high concentration of alkaloids (186,187). Combats inflammation via reduced inflammatory cytokines (markers of inflammation (186,187). Green Tea Extract
Potent polyphenolic antioxidant that supports blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health (26). High in ECGC (epigallocatechin gallate) (26).

Tomato Extract/Lycopene: Supports prostate health, cardiovascular support, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemoprotective properties against cancer (191,192, 193). Combats inflammation via scavenging of free radicals and reduced oxidative damage of DNA. (191,192,193). Combats carcinogenesis via carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes, apoptosis (cancer cell death), anti-proliferation, pro-differentiation, and anti-lipid peroxidation activities. (193). Inhibits phosphorylation of anti-oncogenes such as p53 and Rb. It also inhibits G0/G1 and S-phase of the cell cycle (193).
