Strontium Support II Advanced Orthomolecular Research
100% Vegetarian

Strontium Support II is an organic, stable strontium form (not to be confused with the radioactive strontium-90 isotope). Strontium is a trace mineral in the diet whose metabolism is closely tied to that of calcium, and which concentrates in the skeletal system, where it supports the function of osteoblasts (the cells which form new bone) while reducing the differentiation and activity of osteoclasts (the cells which resorb old bone). Extensive evidence supports a role for strontium in supporting skeletal health. 

Strontium:The First Bone-Building Supplement!

Bone loss accelerates suddenly in menopausal women because the drop in estrogen levels causes an increase in the resorption (teardown) of existing bone. But resorption is only half of the story. Age-related bone loss is also caused by a decrease in the formation of new bone tissue.

Existing drugs for treating osteoporosis, as well as calcium and vitamin D supplements, work by reducing bone resorption. But they do not support the formation of new bone. These drugs and nutrients increase the mineralization of bone, but they do not help the body to build new bone tissue. And in fact, within weeks of starting use of antiresorptive drugs like Fosamax,® the body's formation of new bone actually decreases. The resulting bone is less prone to fracture, but is not the same as youthful, healthy bone.

Strontium is a mineral found along with calcium in most foods. Research has long suggested that it may be an essential nutrient required for the normal development, structure, function, and health of the skeletal system. Clinical trials going back into the 1940s have supported this conclusion, but recent studies have provided evidence that it can offer unique nutritional support against loss of bone structure and function.

Strontium Support II conveniently provides high-quality strontium at an effective dose in only two capsules.

Pregnancy / Nursing  No studies have been conducted. Best to avoid.

Cautions 
Ensure calcium intake is also adequate. Do not take at the same time as calcium supplements. 

Additional Information:

Animal studies have shown that Strontium supplements both decrease bone resorption, and increase the formation of new bone tissue.
• In animal models, Strontium (in various forms, such as chloride, carbonate, gluconate, and lactate) causes "baby" osteoblasts (bone-building cells) to multiply more quickly.
• Bone tissue cultures which are exposed to Strontium synthesize more bone matrix and new bone collagen. The same amount of calcium has no effect on these parameters.
• In bone tissue culture, Strontium reduces bone resorption at concentrations at which calcium has no effect, prevents the resorption caused by excessive parathyroid hormone, and slows the rate at which immature osteoclasts develop.
• Strontium-supplemented diets boost bone strength in experimental animals without a negative impact on bone quality, even at extremely high doses.

Human clinical trials also support Strontium's ability to both support new bone formation and prevent excessive resorption. 

• • The results of early clinical trials using Strontium (lactate) led researchers to speculate that Strontium increased osteoblast activity. 
• • Bone biopsies from a small human pilot trial revealed an astounding 172.4% increase in new bone formation activity after six months of Strontium (gluconate) supplementation. 
• • The bone-building activity of osteoblasts can be measured using bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, while cross-linked N-telopeptide (NTx) and C-telopeptide (CTx) mark the degradation of bone collagen by ravaging osteoclasts.

METHYLCOBALAMIN - Advanced Orthomolecular Research

Available at Vitamin Wagon

METHYLCOBALAMIN
Advanced Orthomolecular Research

Methylcobalamin is the coenzyme form of vitamin B12 which supports the healthy structure and function of the nerves and brain. Several studies have found that people can have neurological signs and symptoms of a specific Methylcobalamin deficiency, even when serum B12, and blood tests which measure adenosylcobalamin acitivity, are perfectly normal. This is in large part because, while the body can store adenosylcobalamin (the other coenzyme form of vitamin B12) in the liver and mitochondria, Methylcobalamin is located in fluids like the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, and is urinated out rather than stored.

While healthy people need just a tiny trace of Methylcobalamin to avoid a frank deficiency, a massive body of evidence powerfully supports the conclusion that supplementing with megadose levels of Methylcobalamin - and not regular B12 - can protect brain and nerve cells against toxins, help the healing of damaged neurons, and even provide powerful nutritional support in neurodegenerative diseases.

Shielding the Brain and Nerves

In animal and test-tube studies, Methylcobalamin has been shown to protect nerve cells against a wide variety of hostile environmental situations, including lack of vital cellular fuel, thiamine deficiency (which normally causes degeneration of the nervous system), oxygen starvation, and exposure to toxins like methylmercury, botulin, or nitroprusside, and the excitotoxic nerotransmitter glutamate. And the cyanocobalamin form of B12 in your multivitamin? When tested directly, it's usually been found that regular B12 supplements don't provide the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative benefits of Methylcobalamin.

ESSENTIAL LIPOSOMAL GLUTATHIONE - Wellness Health

Available at Vitamin Wagon

ESSENTIAL LIPOSOMAL GLUTATHIONE Wellness Health

Wellness Health

WHAT IS ESSENTIAL GSH^®?Essential GSH^®is a breakthrough liquid formulation uniquely designed to increase the systemic bioavailability of Glutathione, via a liposomal-based delivery. 

INGREDIENTSThe primary ingredients in Essential GSH^®-aside from glutathione-are purified water and essential phospholipids.

WHAT MAKES ESSENTIAL GSH^® DIFFERENT• No alcohol
• Pharmaceutical grade base
• Proven cell absorption via in vivo and in vitro exposure
• Easily adjustable dosages – easy to measure
• Contains essential phospholipids (no hydroxylated lecithin)
• Gluten/casein free
• SCD compliant

*IN VITRO TESTING
L2 cells were exposed to 2.5% Essential GSH^® and intracellular glutathione was measured after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours.  Intracellular glutathione content was measured via the spectrophotometric recycling assay, normalized to total cellular protein. 

Results clearly indicate that intracellular glutathione levels increased after exposure to Essential GSH^®, peaking at 2 hours with over a 2-fold increase. The transient action of the increased glutathione remains unknown, although repression of the endogenous glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) enzyme through GSH-feedback inhibition may be a likely reason.

University of Alabama at Birmingham

WHAT IS A LIPOSOME AND HOW DOES IT WORK?Derived from lecithin, a liposome is a microscopic fluid-filled pouch with walls identical to the phospholipids that make up the human cell membranes.

The outer wall of the liposome is fat soluble-while the inside is water-soluble. This combination enables liposomes to be readily absorbed, allowing for systemic availability of the water-soluble materials that would otherwise not be absorbed into the body.

The administering of therapeutic compounds via liposomal technology has been effective in many areas.

Can someone with intestinal yeast overgrowth take Essential GSH®?Essential Nutraceuticals recommends that patients have their physicians treat their yeast overgrowth prior to any oral glutathione supplementation, as glutathione can sometimes worsen the symptoms. 

RECOMMENDED SERVING INFORMATION:

ADULTS:
Adult servings begin with 1.5 teaspoonfuls (approx. 650 mg) twice daily for 7 to 10 days-and can be lowered to one teaspoonful (approx. 430 mg) daily as a "maintenance serving", or as otherwise directed by your physician or health care professional.

CHILDREN:
Essential Nutraceuticals® recommends 1/8 to 1/4 of a teaspoonful (approx. 55 to 108 mg) for every 30 lbs of the child's weight, twice a day. Please consult with your child's physician before use.

Directions:
Mix one serving in water or juice of choice, and drink promptly.

STORINGRefrigeration is optional. At the very least, however, you should store at room temperature.  Although the bottle is made of specially designed material that protects Essential GSH^® from the effects of moisture and sunlight, we recommend storing it out of direct sunlight.
