Genestra HMF Intensive Capsules provide four strains of proprietary human-sourced probiotics that promote optimal intestinal health in children, adolescents, and adults. Although the microflora composition in the gut is relatively steady, it can be altered by diet, stress, age, and medication use. Probiotics reinforce the epithelial barrier and mediate intestinal permeability by controlling the integrity of tight junctions. Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are the most commonly used probiotics, effectively colonize the intestines, and promote the presence of beneficial bacteria to support normal intestinal function.

In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 155 adults, daily intake of a probiotic supplement providing 25 billion CFU (containing two strains each of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium) for 21 days significantly and positively affected the intestinal microbiota.

Genestra Melatonin Spray provides melatonin to help control the body’s natural sleep cycle. Melatonin is a hormone that is normally released at night from the pineal gland. Research demonstrates that supplementation with melatonin significantly improves sleep onset, total sleep time and sleep quality when compared to placebo treatments.

Supplementation with melatonin before sleeping has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration among shift workers, who often experience less sleep than daytime workers. Melatonin intake at local sleep times can also support the sleep-wake cycle after international travel. As melatonin levels significantly decrease with age, its supplementation can help promote healthy sleep patterns in older individuals.

Genestra Cal Mag Liquid supports bone health with a combination of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. Calcium citrate is an organic form of calcium that is significantly better absorbed in postmenopausal women than inorganic calcium oxide. Magnesium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium that helps to maintain bone mineral density: in healthy young men, regular magnesium supplementation has been shown to suppress bone turnover rates.

Vitamin D improves the absorption of calcium and phosphorous and helps in the maintenance of bone health. Osteoporosis Canada’s guideline statements recommend a daily vitamin D intake of 400-1000IU for low-risk adults under 50 years of age and 800-2000IU for high-risk and older adults. Vitamin D intakes of 700-800IU/day are associated with a decreased risk of bone fracture, in comparison with 400IU/day.

Genestra Phos Choline provides phospholipids that help to support liver function. Phosphatidyl-choline (PC) is the primary phospholipid (also known as phosphatide) found in lecithin. It is an important component of cell membranes and is highly concentrated in hepatocytes. All lipoproteins are rich in PC and are primarily produced in the liver.3 Normal PC levels may help to prevent hepatic lipid accumulation as PC is necessary for the production and secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), which transport triglycerides from the liver.

PC deficiencies may lead to VLDL and triglyceride buildup in the liver, which negatively affects liver function and health. Recent in vitro studies show that hepatocytes also overproduce free radicals when grown in the choline-deficient medium; excess reactive oxygen species production can lead to DNA damage and impair liver function. In a randomized, double-blind trial, 57 healthy adults were fed diets low in choline. After six weeks of depletion, fatty liver, liver damage, and/or muscle damage was observed among 68% of participants. When choline was replenished in the diet, the organ dysfunction was resolved in all participants within six weeks.

NPN: 80006244

• Provides 2880mg of phosphatides per daily dose

Primrose oil is derived from evening primrose, a yellow flowering herb native to the Americas. It is a source of omega-6 fatty acids, including gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linolenic acid (LA), that helps to maintain optimal skin health. LA accounts for approximately 12% of fatty acids in the skin and helps maintain the integrity of the epidermal barrier.

Omega-6 fatty acids promote epithelial cell function and support moisture levels in the skin and eyes. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, daily supplementation with evening primrose oil for three months promoted skin firmness and elasticity in adults. Recent research indicates that the skin benefits from evening primrose oil supplementation may take over four weeks to develop, as skin cells must regenerate.

• Provides 1,920mg of LA and 260mg of GLA per daily dose

Genestra Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 metabolic reactions. It is involved in the maintenance of muscle function, glucose metabolism and muscle contraction, among several other important physiological roles. Magnesium helps to maintain bone health by regulating the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol, which helps to increase calcium absorption and minimize the risk of calcium deficiency. In the United States, insufficient magnesium intake is estimated to occur in approximately 64% of men and 67% of women, with even higher levels of insufficient intake in elderly individuals. 

Magnesium glycinate (also known as magnesium bis-glycinate) is a highly water-soluble amino acid chelate of magnesium and two glycine molecules. Clinical evidence indicates that magnesium glycinate has a significantly higher bioavailability than magnesium oxide, and is less likely to cause a laxative effect. Supplementation with magnesium glycinate has been shown to decrease the severity of muscle cramping: in a clinical trial on 86 healthy pregnant women with recurrent muscle cramps, supplementation with 300mg of magnesium glycinate for 4 weeks reduced both the frequency and intensity of leg cramps.
