5-HTP is primarily used to support mood through its ability to boost serotonin levels. It has been compared to various tricyclic antidepressants, and has been found to be as effective with fewer side effects and quicker effectiveness. Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep/wake cycle, 5-HTP also enhances sleep quality. Additionally, research supports a role for 5-HTP in reducing migraines and the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Studies in Spain and Italy found that 5-HTP was comparable to the drug methysergide in alleviating the symptoms of migraines (over 70% in both groups) while eliciting considerably fewer side effects. Fibromyalgia patients have been found to have low serotonin levels and have shown symptomatic improvement with the use of tricyclic and SSRI antidepressants. Several clinical trials have confirmed significant improvements in symptoms, including pain, morning stiffness, nervousness, and fatigue.

5-HTP stands for L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which comes from the amino acid tryptophan found in many proteins and the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP is primarily used to support mood through its ability to increase serotonin – the neurotransmitter associated with happiness – and the neurohormone melatonin. It can also be used for several conditions where serotonin is believed to play an important role.

5-HTP has been compared to various antidepressants and has been found to be as effective and faster-acting with fewer side effects. Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep/wake cycle, 5-HTP can enhance sleep quality. Additionally, research supports a role for 5-HTP in reducing headaches and the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Several clinical trials with 5-HTP have confirmed significant improvements in symptoms associated with fibromyalgia including pain, morning stiffness, nervousness, and fatigue.

Ultimately, those who suffer with mood imbalances such as low mood and anxiety, or from migraines, fibromyalgia or sleep disorders may benefit from taking 5-HTP.

Resveratrol is an antioxidant belonging to the polyphenol family found in many plants such as various berries, peanuts, rhubarb and several oriental herbs including the Japanese Giant Knotweed. It is the main component in red wine that is responsible for its touted health benefits. Research has confirmed that resveratrol has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in the body with the potential to impact many chronic diseases.

Studies with resveratrol have reported a diverse range of physiological and biochemical effects, particularly in the areas of heart health, immunity, and inflammation. Studies have shown that it reduces cholesterol and triglycerides, lowers blood pressure, and lowers the incidence of arterial plaque formation. However, the most unique application of resveratrol is that it mimics the effects of a calorie-restricted diet. A calorie-restricted diet is associated with different health benefits and has been shown to increase the lifespan of several different species. Resveratrol provides many of the beneficial effects of caloric restriction, making it a powerful addition to any anti-aging protocol.

Those in search of anti-aging nutrients, practicing life extension, those desiring the heart health benefits of wine without the negative effects of sugar and alcohol, could benefit from Acta-Resveratrol.

This formula contains several antioxidants that increase its overall effectiveness. Antioxidants function better in the body in combination rather than in isolation. Each capsule of AOR’s Acta-Resveratrol contains enough resveratrol to equal that found in approximately 180 glasses of red wine and without the negative side effects of alcohol.

• A potent antioxidant responsible for the health benefits of red wine
• Helps maintain a healthy heart
• Mimics the longevity effects of calorie restriction

Active Green Tea is a high-potency, standardized green tea extract providing antioxidants that promote longevity and boost metabolism. EgCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is the largest and most potent of several catechins found in green tea which have been touted for their vast array of health benefits, including weight loss, anti-aging and healthy cellular differentiation. Extensive epidemiological evidence shows that people consuming high amounts of Japanese Sencha green tea have fewer heart problems and liver disorders, healthier cholesterol levels, and are generally better protected from the most common afflictions today.

The “gold standard” of green tea is Japanese Sencha, which contains about 150 mg of EgCG per cup. In just 3 capsules, Active Green Tea provides the equivalent of 10 cups of Sencha green tea, the amount research has shown to be associated with the greatest health benefits. The citizens of Japan boast the longest average lifespan in the world, and research shows that people consuming high amounts of Japanese Sencha green tea live longer.

AOR’s Active Green Tea is for people who want powerful antioxidant protection, healthy cellular growth and differentiation, anti-aging effects, weight loss support and the powerful benefits of green tea without having to consume up to 10 cups per day.

The B vitamin family includes vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid or folate), and B12 (cobalamin).

Though they have essential roles in the body B vitamins are easily lost from the body through urine and sweat. This fact, combined with other factors such as a modern diet high in processed foods, means that it’s easy to become deficient in B vitamins. Additionally, certain groups, including vegans, vegetarians, and the elderly, are at greater risk for Vitamin B deficiency.

Aging, for example, affects how well you take in and use B12 from foods. Deficiency can lead to numerous health issues, including blood sugar imbalances, neurological disorders, anemia, and depression. The body must convert B vitamins into their active coenzyme forms in order to absorb them. Some people have genetic alterations that reduce their body’s ability to perform these conversions. Vegan-friendly Advanced B Complex® contains all of the B-vitamins in their active coenzyme forms, and in balanced doses to ensure that you get the most out of your B complex.

• Active forms of B-vitamins in a form your body can utilize immediately

Advanced Bone Protection is Milk Basic Protein (MBP™), a specific whey protein fraction found in trace amounts in bovine milk. MBP is considered to be so safe and vital that some food items are fortified with it in Japan, where it was discovered.

MBP has been shown to increase the activity of bone-building cells (osteoblasts) while reducing the activity of the cells that break down bone (osteoclasts), resulting in a more balanced and effective approach to preventing the bone loss that leads to osteopenia and osteoporosis. It also helps bones to retain and use calcium more effectively, and to produce more collagen, an important part of the bone matrix.

Advanced Bone Protection is not a source of calcium, but rather a beneficial addition to any calcium-based bone health regimen for those at risk of developing, or already suffering from, osteoporosis. It can also be used to support bone healing after sustaining a fracture. The daily therapeutic dose of Advanced Bone Protection fits into just one small capsule, which can be taken at any time of day, with or without food or other supplements.

• Made of MBP™, a protein complex derived from milk
• Scientifically proven to improve bone density when taken with calcium

ALCAR is N-acetyl-L-carnitine, a form of L-carnitine found ubiquitously in mammalian tissues that is important for energy production. Extensive research has documented ALCAR’s ability to improve mitochondrial function, sperm production and energy production. ALCAR is unique because it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than L-carnitine, making it more effective for enhancing cognitive function. Research has found ALCAR to be capable of reducing the symptoms of mild cognitive impairment by improving memory, attention, mood and other cognitive functions. Amazingly, the positive cognitive effects seem to persist even after stopping short-term supplementation.

ALCAR can also increase L-carnitine levels in those who are deficient due to factors such as the use of certain medications, disease, a strict vegetarian diet, and heart or circulatory conditions. Some people use L-carnitine for athletic performance and endurance as it promotes energy production and proper fat burning. Muscle fatigue, male infertility (due to poor sperm health), Rett syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, anorexia, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), thyroid imbalances, leg ulcers, high cholesterol and Lyme disease are all common conditions that may benefit from ALCAR supplementation.

Amla is an extract of Emblica officinalis, a fruit that is used in Ayurvedic medicine for a multitude of purposes. Its primary Ayurvedic function is as a rasayana, or an anti-aging compound. The amla fruit is packed with nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, polyphenols, antioxidants and essential fatty acids which collectively give it its anti-aging abilities. Moreover, amla extracts have been shown to have more powerful antioxidant activity than vitamin C because of their polyphenol content.

Due to their powerful antioxidant activity, amla extracts protect cholesterol against free-radical damage. Clinical trials have shown it to significantly improve the cholesterol profile, lowering LDL and total cholesterol and raising HDL. It may even help reduce blood sugar, making amla a powerful agent for cardiovascular support. Finally, amla has been traditionally used to fight chronic lung infections, upper respiratory infections and other types of infections. Those searching for powerful antioxidant support from an herb that has widespread health benefits or those looking for natural cholesterol support and anti-aging benefits would benefit from taking Amla.

Antioxidants are nutrients found in all types of fruits and vegetables, plants, nuts and seeds. They help to protect the body from the damage caused by toxic molecules called free radicals. Free radicals play a role in the aging process and the development of most diseases including cataracts, heart disease, infertility, arthritis, abnormal cell development and many other chronic health conditions.

Antioxidants work by neutralizing free radicals before they can damage cells. They do this by stabilizing them but during this process, the antioxidants themselves become mild free radicals and must be “recycled” back to their original form to keep acting as antioxidant. Moreover, some antioxidants are more effective in certain locations in the body than others, meaning that you need to take the right ones for best results!

The vicious cycle of oxidation can be prevented through taking advantage of the unique complementary interactions of an elite antioxidant strike force: the Networking Antioxidants. There are five networking antioxidants: R (+)-lipoic acid, the vitamin E complex, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione (GSH). When taken together, these essential nutrients form a dynamic team of protectors which can “recycle” one another. By this process, networking antioxidants enhance and extend one another’s capacities.

Other antioxidants play a supporting role to the networking antioxidants. The best understood of these network-boosters are bioflavonoids and the mineral selenium. Among bioflavonoids, carnosic acid and resveratrol are particularly interesting. Carnosic acid is found in the herb rosemary while resveratrol comes from grapes. Selenium also supports the network by maintaining the body’s supply of two key enzymes.

• Helps reduce inflammation and cellular damage that contributes to aging
• Superior protection over other antioxidant formulas

Arginine is an amino acid with many important health benefits but is best known for its key role in the production of nitric oxide, a potent factor in relaxing blood vessels and promoting blood flow. By increasing nitric oxide levels, Arginine has the ability to prevent plaque and blood clot formation and reduce the stickiness of platelets. Clinical studies have found high doses of arginine beneficial for many cardiovascular conditions including high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease and angina.

In addition to its effects on blood vessels, arginine enhances the release of human growth hormone (hGH), enhances insulin sensitivity, supports liver detoxification, and has been shown to support interstitial cystitis, sperm formation, and treatment of brain injuries.

Astaxanthin is a unique carotenoid compound found in abundance in marine environments, particularly in algae. Astaxanthin is what gives red algae its colour and subsequently salmon their pink flesh when they consume the algae. Astaxanthin is considered a far more powerful antioxidant than beta-carotene or vitamin E, because unlike most other antioxidants, it does not create a free radical itself after quenching one, and can therefore quench numerous radicals in a row. This allows it to protect cell membrane lipids from free radical damage.

NPN: 80089792

• A carotenoid sourced from algae
• Does not turn into a free radical itself like most antioxidants
• Supports healthy blood sugar and blood pressure

Bacopa Enlighten is a standardized extract of Bacopa monnieri, an herb used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to support cognitive function and memory. In India, bacopa is often given to babies in the hopes that it will open the gateway to intelligence.

Bacopa has traditionally been used for improving cognitive functions such as those needed for math and memory skills, for decreasing angst and for reducing mental fatigue at work. It improves the processing of visual information to help increase the rate of learning, lower the rate of forgetfulness, and improve the ability to consolidate new information. Bacopa has also been studied in children with and without ADHD, and benefits have been shown in memory and learning in both scenarios.

Research has also shown promise for several key concerns of the aging brain.  Animal studies have shown that Bacopa prevents drug induced memory loss and increases protein synthesis in the brain as well as the production of key neural antioxidant enzymes, protecting brain cells from oxidative damage. Young or old, those who want to preserve healthy brain function and memory performance can benefit from Bacopa Enlighten.

• A powerful plant extract for improving mental function
• Helps improve memory and focus

The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are three essential amino acids that cannot be made within the body and must be obtained through diet: leucine, isoleucine and valine. Unlike other amino acids, BCAAs are primarily processed inside the mitochondria of muscle cells, making them extremely effective at stimulating muscle building. Although protein, in general, is needed to stimulate muscle growth, BCAAs and especially leucine are particularly vital to muscle growth and repair. In fact, studies have shown that protein blends without leucine did not actually stimulate muscle development. When taken before and after exercise, BCAAs can prevent protein breakdown and enhance recovery time by reducing muscle soreness.

BCAAs can also help prevent muscle loss in people in weakened conditions. They support muscle maintenance and have the unique ability to promote muscle growth in non-exercising muscles when other muscles are worked. As a result, BCAAs are indicated for frail and elderly people just as much as strength athletes and exercise enthusiasts to promote strength and independence. BCAAs may also help control blood sugar and insulin, and have been suggested to help balance mood.

Any bodybuilder or competitive athlete will know the importance of supplementing with BCAAs to enhance their muscular health and performance, and so should you.

• Provides specific amino acids necessary for protein synthesis
• Enhances muscle retention, recovery, and repair post-workout
• Helps control blood sugar and insulin levels

Benfotiamine is a natural form of thiamin (vitamin B1) that has been proven to be 5 times more absorbable than regular thiamin and has better penetration through cellular membranes. The benefit of benfotiamine centers around its ability to block a harmful process in the body called protein glycation, which creates Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), a role that is not shared by thiamin.

AGEs are formed when cells are exposed to consistently high levels of blood sugar. They can lead to significant tissue and DNA damage, speed up the aging process, and ultimately lead to diabetic-related nerve damage in the hands and feet and damage to blood vessels in the eyes and kidneys. Benfotiamine has the unique ability to block the formation of AGEs and supplementation can help reduce nerve pain and improve nerve function. Many randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials have proven that benfotiamine powerfully supports nerve function in diabetic neuropathy.

AOR’s Benfotiamine is one of the few products to contain this active form of B1 in an evidence-based dose. With our modern high-sugar diet, millions are experiencing the many negative effects that excessive sugar has on the body. Those looking for protection against these negative effects such as accelerated cellular aging and nerve damage should consider AOR’s Benfotiamine.

• A highly bioavailable source of vitamin B1
• Supports nerve and eye function in diabetics

Borage-500 contains borage oil, a rich source of the anti-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid known as Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Although a high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is typically thought to cause inflammation, studies have shown that on the contrary, supplementation with GLA has anti-inflammatory effects. This means that GLA is especially effective in treating inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and eczema.

GLA supplementation has also shown to be beneficial in supporting hormonal balance, treating diabetic neuropathy, post-viral fatigue, allergies, ADHD, acne, and it promotes hair growth. Further, it is involved in proper brain development and function.

• Sustainable, vegan source of omega-6 fatty acid
• Reduces inflammation in the body
• Promotes healthy skin, hair growth, and brain function
• Promotes hormone balance

Vitamin C is considered an essential nutrient because the body cannot produce it on its own. Its benefits include immunity, proper formation of bones, teeth and ligaments, promoting heart health, protecting cells from damage, wound healing, iron absorption and more.

Bioflavonoids are powerful antioxidants in their own right, they are even more powerful when combined with vitamin C, as they are in this AOR formulation. Bioflavonoids, or simply flavonoids, are the pigments found in most plants that give fruits and vegetables their colour. They are potent antioxidants that work together with vitamin C to enhance its antioxidant properties by keeping it active longer.

• More effective than vitamin C alone
• Provides the same pairing of vitamin C and bioflavonoids as that produced in nature
• Synergistic effect to protect cells, neutralize toxins
• Helps support brain, cardiovascular, immunity and overall health
• Natural citrus bioflavonoids boost the antioxidant activity of Vitamin C
• Clinically researched ingredients

It is estimated that over 56 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although CVD is increasingly common as people age, it is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Cardana Caps is an Ayurvedic herbal formula used to support the health of the heart and vascular system, promoting normal blood pressure and healthy blood flow to the heart muscle. It can promote a healthy heart rate, and reduces the effects of stress on the heart.

Cardana Caps contains five of the most powerful herbs used to support the cardiovascular system and a healthy blood pressure. Terminalia arjuna reduces blood pressure and heart rate, and increases the strength of the heart’s contractions. Coleus forskohlii is a powerful vasodilator that reduces blood pressure, and improves the efficiency of the heart’s contractions. Crataegus laevigata (also known as hawthorn), increases the force of cardiac contractions, improves blood flow, reduces the oxygen needs of the cardiac muscle, and is an anti-hypertensive and anti-arrhythmic agent. Boerhaavia diffusa is a diuretic, helping to reduce blood pressure. Withania somnifera, known as ashwagandha, supports cardiovascular health by reducing the effects of stress, which include a rapid pulse and increased blood pressure.

• A combination of the most effective Ayurvedic herbs known to support the heart
• Promotes healthy heart function, blood flow, blood pressure & vascular health
• Reduces the heart-compromising effects of stress

Magnesium is a critical mineral, especially for cardiovascular health, and can offset inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, poor blood flow, atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. Furthermore, magnesium helps to regulate heart contractions and plays a central role in energy metabolism.

Cardio Mag 2.0 provides magnesium orotate, a form of magnesium that is well absorbed and has been studied specifically for heart health. In addition to the magnesium, the orotic acid (orotate) has benefits of its own.  It can penetrate cell membranes, enabling the effective delivery of the magnesium to the innermost layers of the cell. Orotic acid also increases the formation of RNA and DNA, which can help repair damage to heart cells, improve stress tolerance and therefore improve function. The combination of magnesium and orotic acid has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the frequency of abnormal heartbeats, improve heart failure, reduce symptoms of angina, and enhance exercise performance.

• High dose of orotic acid combined with magnesium for pure magnesium orotate
• Clinically shown to protect and heal the heart in cardiac patients
• Increases heart energy production
