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.

AOR Gandha, Ashwagandha is one of the most revered and widely used plants in traditional Ayurveda, the medicine of ancient India, and is the ideal supplement for those facing constant stress and chronic fatigue. Also known as Indian ginseng, it is considered a rejuvenating tonic, supporting energy and vitality. Gandha-600 is an extract of Withania somnifera (ashwagandha), properly standardized for its two main medicinal components: withanolide and sitoindoside.

In North America, ashwagandha is primarily known and used as an “adaptogen”, meaning that it enhances the body's adaptive response to stress.  It also supports immunity and liver function and protects against various symptoms of stress including the development of digestive problems, vitamin C depletion, adrenal exhaustion, suppressed immunity, decreased libido and poor physical endurance. Ashwagandha has been shown to improve various parameters of aging in elderly subjects, and animal studies have shown that it can help combat chronic inflammation.

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, or N-A-C, is an acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine. Cysteine is the most important precursor to glutathione (GSH), the most critical antioxidant produced in the body. Glutathione helps chelate toxins and heavy metals from the body. N-A-C is approved as a drug in some European jurisdictions for use in preventing liver damage from acetaminophen overdose. It has been used for over 30 years for respiratory health, providing some relief to those suffering from chronic respiratory conditions such as the annoying post-nasal drip, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, the congenital disease cystic fibrosis, and even life-threatening conditions such as COPD. N-A-C also promotes cardiovascular health due to its unique ability to inhibit levels of a specific lipoprotein called Lp(a), a marker of heart disease.

Acetylated cysteine is better absorbed than regular cysteine. AOR’s N-A-C is an excellent choice for those looking for a single supplement to promote overall health including cellular protection and cardiovascular health. People suffering from chronic respiratory conditions may also benefit from regular use of N-A-C.

• Promotes respiratory health, helps clear excess mucus
• Protects the liver by boosting glutathione levels

AOR Mag Malate Renew, Magnesium is a mineral that is involved in over 300 biochemical processes in the body. One of its most important functions is that it plays a key role in producing energy and maintaining muscle and nerve function. Unfortunately, most people do not have sufficient levels of this essential mineral for optimal health. Studies suggest that 50-90% of people are deficient in magnesium.

Mag Malate RenewTM is a 100% pure combination of magnesium and malic acid. Malic acid is ionized in the body to form malate, which is a key intermediate in the energy production cycle that makes ATP, the fuel that allows cells to function. Low levels of ATP are commonly found in people suffering from fibromyalgia and are believed to play a significant role in the physical and mental symptoms of the condition.  This has been confirmed in several studies which have found that magnesium malate reduces the symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue such as muscle pain and brain fog.

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers found throughout the central nervous and multiple organ systems. They help drive vital functions and one of their most important roles is in regulating mood. Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its signals protect against overstimulation or excitement of the brain, creating a calming effect which is important for mood, sleep, chronic stress, and brain function. GABA is a natural remedy for improving and maintaining optimal mental health.

The neurotransmitter GABA has been studied for its effects in individuals experiencing chronic worry and insomnia as a result of not being able to “turn off” their thoughts at night (also known as “monkey mind.”) It is effective in reducing stress and anxiety, and has been shown to help with falling asleep faster. It affects the brain directly by increasing brain waves associated with relaxation (alpha -waves) and reducing brain waves associated with worry and stress (beta waves).

• Provides fast-acting, temporary relief from feelings of tension, stress and anxiety
• Promotes mental relaxation and regulates mood
• Calms “monkey mind”

Each veg-capsule contains:

Vitamin K is an essential vitamin needed for cardiovascular, bone and liver health. Vitamin K2 is more effective than vitamin K1, the form found in plants, for these specific health effects. There are two effective and popular forms of Vitamin K2: namely MK-4 and MK-7. While MK-4 is the active form of vitamin K2 used by the body and has been used clinically in Japan for decades with good results, MK-7 has also been shown to provide good results at low doses in a sustained-release manner. AOR’s Vitamin K2 provides a 50/50 blend of MK-4 and MK-7 to ensure the best of both worlds.

The most popular, albeit recently highlighted, use for vitamin K2 is for bone health. Vitamin K, along with vitamin D, is essential for proper calcium absorption and usage in the bones. Vitamin K2 also stimulates the synthesis of proteins that regulate bone growth, and has been shown to reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures and improve bone quality.

Vitamin K is also essential to cardiovascular health. It is an important blood clotting factor: without adequate amounts, the risk of bruising and excessive bleeding increases substantially. By the same token, vitamin K enhances calcium absorption from the bloodstream into the bones, preventing arterial calcification and promoting healthy blood vessel function and heart health. Ultimately, Vitamin K2 is an excellent adjunct to conventional osteoporosis medications and is essential for those taking calcium supplements. Vitamin K2 may also be useful for those with a family history of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, arterial calcification or for people who bruise or bleed easily.

• Helps your bones use calcium more effectively
• Supports normal blood clotting
• Supports heart health
• Provides science-based ratios of MK-4 and MK-7 for greater effectiveness

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

AOR’s Zen Theanine provides an optimal dose of L-theanine to provide fast-acting mental relaxation, with its stress-reducing effects typically felt within 30 minutes of consumption.

Zen Theanine contains L-theanine, a calming amino acid that is beneficial for those who suffer from stress and anxiety and find it difficult to focus, relax, or fall asleep. First discovered in 1949, L-theanine is a unique amino acid found in green tea that helps reduce nervousness and restlessness, promoting relaxation without causing drowsiness. L-theanine rapidly enters the body when ingested (within roughly 30-40 minutes) and relaxes the brain, calms racing thoughts and creates feelings of “zen” while promoting alertness and concentration. L-theanine influences the levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and GABA in the brain, balancing mood, sleep and learning capacity. L-theanine reduces feelings of stress by inhibiting some of the actions of norepinephrine (a stress hormone) in the central nervous system.

AOR Ortho Sleep, Did you know that irregular sleep patterns are being called the new silent killer, being as detrimental to health as stress and poor diet? Studies show that those who chronically get less sleep than the “golden” 7-8 hours are at a higher risk for a number of diseases, are prone to weight gain, and are less able to deal with the effects of stress. People suffering from insomnia spend less time in deeper levels of sleep, wake up more often, and experience a reduction in REM sleep. In addition to stress, insomnia can be caused by a variety of other factors, including anxiety, poor diet, or a disruption of the body's internal clock - such as jet lag, all-night study sessions, or changing work hours.
Ortho Sleep™ is an award-winning premium sleep and relaxation formula. The most important neurotransmitters known to regulate the sleep-wake cycle have been combined with the most powerful herbs traditionally used to promote sleep, yielding a natural sleep remedy like no other. 

Ortho Sleep contains a carefully formulated blend of nutrients and compounds that have been shown to be effective in combating insomnia, restoring a proper circadian rhythm, and promoting healthy, restful sleep. These include relaxing neurotransmitters GABA and melatonin, as well as 5-HTP, a serotonin precursor to reduce feelings of worry, especially when trying to fall asleep. The formula further includes the amino acid L-theanine as well as valerian root, passionflower extract, and lemon balm, all of which possess relaxing properties and work to increase the activity of GABA in the brain.

Ortho Sleep is perfect for those who have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested upon waking. Ortho Sleep may help in cases of jet-lag, shift work, or insomnia. If you have used the individual ingredients found in the formula with no success, Ortho Sleep may offer a more powerful natural solution.

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.

Magnesium is a mineral that is involved in over 300 biochemical processes in the body. One of its most important functions is that it plays a key role in producing energy and maintaining muscle, heart and nerve function. Unfortunately most people do not have sufficient levels for optimal health, as studies suggest that 50-90% of people are deficient in magnesium.  Muscle stiffness, chronic irritability and fatigue are common signs of deficiency.

Glycine is well known as a calming amino acid, and is combined with magnesium in Magnesium Glycinate. This combination is easily absorbed and does not have a laxative effect like some forms of magnesium. Due to the calming and relaxing effect of both glycine and magnesium this combination has been used successfully for chronic pain and muscle tension, as well as to help improve sleep quality.

Magnesium Glycinate is a chelated magnesium supplement that offers superior absorption and gastrointestinal tolerability. Magnesium Glycinate is ideal for quickly correcting magnesium deficiencies and is especially helpful for people with insomnia, anxiety, muscle tightness and chronic pain.

• Unblended and fully reacted form
• Gentle on bowels for no intestinal upset

Thyro Support™ is designed to support an underactive thyroid, sometimes referred to as subclinical hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a medical condition in which there is insufficient thyroid hormone production. Subclinical hypothyroidism, while less severe, still has detrimental effects which can include fatigue, weight gain, cardiovascular problems, oversensitivity to cold, dry skin, brittle nails, constipation, overall weakness and depression. The ingredients in Thyro Support™ provide the raw materials for the production of thyroid hormones, and also help to increase the conversion of the hormone T4 into its more effective form, T3.

These ingredients include the amino acid tyrosine, herbs Coleus forskohlii and Bacopa monnieri, and the essential minerals iodine, zinc, copper, and selenium.

Those who have an underactive thyroid, have been diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism, or those suffering from the symptoms of an underactive thyroid, including fatigue and weight gain, can benefit from Thyro Support™. Since the thyroid is closely linked to the adrenal glands, those looking for adrenal support or who are under chronic stress can also benefit from supporting the thyroid.

• Supports an underactive thyroid
• Effective fatigue and adrenal support
• Supports healthy weight management
• Vegetarian formula with nutrients and botanical extracts

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like nutrient that helps produce energy in all cells of the body. It does so by supporting the mitochondria, the tiny power plants in each of the body’s cells. Coenzyme Q10 is in fact one of the most important and modifiable factors in the production of ATP (cellular energy) in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction and Coenzyme Q10 deficiencies have been implicated in many conditions such as fatigue, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular problems, neurodegenerative diseases and more.

Coenzyme Q10 is also noted for its powerful antioxidant activity, and even “recharges” other antioxidants by keeping them in their reduced, active states. Doctors have been recommending Coenzyme Q10to patients on standard heart medications for the last four decades, as statin medications are known to reduce Coenzyme Q10 levels in the body.

The aging and elderly would greatly benefit from adding Coenzyme Q10 to their diet. Those dealing with cardiovascular issues or taking statin medications should speak to their doctor about supplementing with Coenzyme Q10. Athletes or those dealing with fatigue would also benefit from Coenzyme Q10 to boost energy levels.

• Supports cardiovascular health
• Maximizes cellular energy production and cell function
• An effective and clinically researched dosage

Curcumin is a substance from the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), a spice commonly used in East Asian curry dishes. A substantial number of pre-clinical and human clinical trials have highlighted the health-promoting effects of curcumin, namely its role as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving agent. Biochemical analysis has shown that curcumin is insoluble in water and gastrointestinal fluid, is rapidly metabolized and poorly absorbed by cells, has poor blood brain barrier permeability, and is rapidly eliminated from the body.

All of these factors limit its use as an efficient natural functional agent. As such, the focus has shifted to developing more effective mechanisms of curcumin delivery in order to reap its many therapeutic effects. Curcumin Ultra is a revolutionary product from AOR’s Ultra Series. It is a unique combination of free-form curcuminoids (CurQfen®) with water-soluble turmeric polysaccharides (Turmacin®). This formulation not only resolves the bioavailability issues of other curcumin products; it also provides the highest levels of bioactive free-form curcuminoids on the market! Curcumin Ultra is effective for multiple conditions including acute and chronic pain and inflammation.

Multi Basics 3® provides optimal doses and balanced ratios of all the recognized essential vitamins and minerals in high quality forms supported by research, all in just three capsules a day.

A balanced and well-designed multivitamin is fundamental to any supplement regimen. Multivitamin and mineral formulations are an excellent way to meet your daily nutrition requirements of all essential nutrients, providing a foundation on which to build your path to good health. While some nutrients like vitamins A and E are better absorbed and more effective in their natural forms, others are better absorbed in synthetic supplement form, such as folate and other B-vitamins. Some nutrients like zinc and copper must be delivered in balanced ratios so as not to disrupt certain bodily functions. Too much of some nutrients like vitamin B2 can actually inhibit absorption of other nutrients, while too little is just ineffective. Multi Basics 3® takes all of these factors into consideration, creating a carefully formulated, balanced and effective multivitamin that delivers many more benefits than a typical one-a-day multivitamin.
