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.

Fem Adapt is AOR’s premium menopause formula that is especially useful for hot flashes. While many formulas on the market contain ingredients with minimal research in menopausal women, doses that are too low or unstandardized botanical extracts, Fem Adapt provides the most powerful, clinically studied, standardized phytoestrogens in research-backed doses. Fem Adapt contains flax lignans, soy isoflavones, black cohosh and a standardized hops extract, which collectively can reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes and other menopausal concerns.

AOR’s Fem Adapt formula not only provides safe and effective relief from menopausal symptoms, but also provides protection against health problems for which the risk increases after menopause, such as cardiovascular complications, osteoporosis and others. This is due to the mild estrogenic activity of the phytoestrogens in the product, which can serve as natural hormone replacement therapy.

Additionally, some of the ingredients in Fem Adapt have been used in herbal medicine to help relieve premenstrual symptoms, including abdominal cramps, muscle and joint pain, nerve pain like sciatica and nervous tension.

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”
• Faster initiation of, and improved quality of sleep

L-Carnitine is an amino acid needed for fat burning, energy production and muscle recovery. It is synthesized by the body from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine, and can also be obtained from red meat. For this reason, L-carnitine deficiency is quite common among vegetarians and even health-conscious people who simply avoid red meat. L-Carnitine plays a central role in the metabolic breakdown of certain fatty acids and their subsequent transport into the mitochondria, the power plants inside cells, for use in the production of energy.

L-Carnitine is primarily used as a weight loss aid, to increase energy or to enhance muscular recovery after a workout. It is essential to maintaining a healthy metabolism, which in turn is critical for reducing the risk of many age and lifestyle-associated disorders. Human studies using oral L-carnitine have produced significant positive results in anorexia nervosa, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular problems, high cholesterol, hyperglycemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid dysfunction and kidney problems, among others.

Athletes, workout buffs, and ill patients who want to improve their functional capacity can benefit from supplementing with carnitine, as can those looking for metabolic support. Vegetarians and people who avoid red meat may want to supplement with carnitine to ensure good health, energy levels, proper muscle function and optimal fat utilization.

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.

• Pure L-theanine
• Promotes calm, relaxed alertness without causing drowsiness
• Fast-acting and effective with one high dose capsule

Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) is one of the major inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, balancing the excitatory effects of glutamate on neuronal activity. The inhibitory effects of GABA are generally considered to lessen anxiety, relax muscle tension, and have sedative-like effects. In addition, conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and epilepsy have all been associated with low GABA concentration or activity.

GABA has also been shown to cause a significant increase in alpha brain waves compared to control, indicative of a more relaxed state, as well as better concentration. In a clinical trial involving patients with a fear of heights, GABA-Pro was found to increase salivary levels of sIgA while crossing a suspension bridge, as compared to the control group whose salivary IgA levels dropped 35%. This is indicative of the stress reducing effect of GABA-Pro.

Bob’s Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg contains up to 20% more elemental magnesium per capsule than other magnesium supplements. It works to restore magnesium to optimum levels and helps to fuel the many important functions it is called on to perform. It offers a potent, therapeutic dose of 200mg of elemental magnesium in a form known for its superior absorption and gentleness on the bowels – all in an easy to swallow vegetarian capsule.

Over 50,000 bottles of Bob’s Magnesium have been recommended to patients over the past 5 years by functional medicine practitioners, naturopaths, pharmacists, and nutritionists. It has been effective in successfully alleviating symptoms triggered by magnesium deficiency, such as migraine headaches, muscle tension, muscle spasms, anxiety, poor sleep quality, PMS, fatigue, and chronic pain.

The major obstacle for achieving a target dose of elemental magnesium is GI intolerance. At higher doses, other magnesium products are poorly absorbed and consequently draw water into the intestinal lumen, causing diarrhea. Bob’s Magnesium Bisglycinate is different. Its magnesium is chelated to glycine, which is actively transported by the intestines. As such, Bob’s Magnesium has excellent absorption, which means that not only does it have superior bioavailability; it is also much better tolerated than other magnesium products.

Almost 80% of Americans may be deficient in magnesium and could be suffering from health problems associated with this deficiency. This problem is twofold. Many people are not meeting the recommended daily intake of magnesium due to poor dietary habits. In addition, many of us share factors in our daily lives that can lead to depletion of magnesium, such as elevated consumption of coffee, alcohol, and carbonated beverages, stress, common prescription medications, etc.

• Free of gluten, dairy, soy, wheat, yeast, sugar or corn

It is estimated that over 80% of adult Canadians do not meet their daily vitamin D requirement from dietary sources. Aside from dietary intake, the body can also synthesize vitamin D through exposure to sunlight or UV rays. However, if you live north of the line connecting Philadelphia to San Francisco, you are most likely not getting enough sunlight exposure to meet your vitamin D requirements. Other risk factors for vitamin D deficiency include obesity, old age, dark skin, applying too much sunscreen, and/or not being able to go out in the sun for at least 15 minutes daily. Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) are the forms of vitamin D used in supplements. Vitamin D3 is chemically identical to the vitamin D naturally produced in the body, whereas vitamin D2 a precursor that needs to be converted to D3 before the body can readily use it. 

Bob’s Vitamin D contains the bioidentical Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). New research is shedding light on vitamin D’s role beyond enhancing calcium absorption and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. There is a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests vitamin D deficiency may be contributing to a host of chronic diseases such as heart disease, and multiple sclerosis, as well as infectious diseases such as the seasonal flu. 

As per Health Canada guidelines, the recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D is 400-800IU per day, and the tolerable upper intake level is established at 1000-4000IU per day. It is important to note that these recommendations are very conservative, and some practitioners may prescribe higher doses for treating deficiency and/or chronic disease prevention. Bob’s liquid vitamin D is a safe and effective formula that can be used as a daily supplement by patients or prescribed by healthcare practitioners at therapeutic doses. There are no artificial colours or flavours, no preservatives, and no animal products in this supplement.

Douglas Estro-Mend is a soy-free blend of herbs used in herbal medicine that helps ease nervous tension while relieving pain associated with menstruation and symptoms associated with menopause.

A complex interaction of hormones regulates menstruation. Imbalances of hormones, including estrogen, can result in menstrual pain and premenstrual symptoms, which often include changes in mood, energy, attention, appetite, sleep, physical comfort (breast tenderness, bloating) and quality of life. Phytoestrogens, including black cohosh, mimic the functions of estrogens without proliferative actions and help relieve menstrual pain and premenstrual symptoms.

Significantly less estrogen is produced in the period before menopause. Hormonal fluctuations during this time can result in common menopausal symptoms, including hot flushes and vaginal dryness. Phytoestrogens also support and minimize the changes and symptoms that are sometimes experienced during menopause. Studies have found that black cohosh helps relieve menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, excessive sweating, insomnia, and vaginal atrophy. As menopause may result in sleep disruption, Estro-Mend also contains hops, which can relieve nervousness and aid sleep.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO IRON SUPPLEMENTATION

FERAPRO, originally formulated by compounding pharmacist Bob Mehr in 1997 and formerly known as BOB'S IRON FORMULA, is a holistic blend of iron, vitamins, and cofactors to prevent and/or treat iron deficiency anemia. The absorption and tolerability of the iron in this blend are enhanced by vitamin C and glycine, while the active forms of vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF) support the growth and function of healthy red blood cells.

Gentle and Effective
FERAPRO has been proven to gently and effectively increase serum ferritin levels faster than polysaccharide iron supplements. Patients report less constipation, nausea and upset stomach with FERAPRO when compared to other commonly prescribed brands of iron supplements in Canada.

Long History of Success
FERAPRO, formerly known as Bob’s Iron Formula, has been perfected over 20 years of research and patient and practitioner feedback to optimize oral iron therapy, and improve patient outcomes.

Highest Dose in the Market 
FERAPRO is the only ferrous (Fe2+) iron supplement that offers 150mg elemental iron as a single dose once per day, which is the optimal regimen for maximum absorption.   It is also available in 30mg and 75mg elemental iron per capsule dosages for individualized dosing.

NOTE:  As per the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act, this Iron Formula is a schedule II drug that requires professional intervention from the pharmacist at the point of sale. While a prescription is not required, this supplement is only available through a pharmacist. After placing your order online, you will receive a call from one of our licensed pharmacists for a quick teleconsultation. Your order will be shipped out after you have completed the teleconsultation.

• 20 Years of Proven Success in Over 30,000 Patients
  
• Available in 3 Strengths for Individualized Dosing (30mg, 75mg, and 150mg of Elemental Iron Per Capsule)
  
• Reduced Side Effects Such as Constipation and Upset Stomach
  
• Vegan Formulation
  
• Corn-free
• Dairy-free
• Gluten-free
  
• Free of Dyes, Preservatives, and Unwanted Fillers
• Environmentally Friendly Glass Bottle Packaging
• Available in Child Resistant Packaging

Each veg-capsule contains:
Medicinal ingredients: Iron (from ferrous fumarate) 150mg, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 350mg, vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) 1000mcg, folate (l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) 80mcg and glycine 100mg.

• Elemental Iron (from Ferrous Fumarate)..........................150mg
  Ferrous Fumarate provides ferrous (Fe2+) iron, which is more bioavailable than ferric (Fe3+) iron found in polysaccharide iron supplements. It also has the highest elemental iron content of available oral iron salts which allows for once a day dosing.
  
  
• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid).................................................350mg
  The enzyme ascorbate ferrireductase (DcytB) uses Vitamin C to enhance non-heme iron bioavailability by 1.5 to 10-fold. The addition of Vitamin C allows for optimal absorption without having to take additional tablets.
  
  
• Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)....................................1000mcg
  Methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12, is required for the proper development of red blood cells. Methylcobalamin is used in the metabolic pathway for DNA synthesis, which is essential for the final maturation of the red blood cells. 
  
  
• Folate (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate)................................80mcg
  5-MTHF, the active form of folic acid, is required for proper development of red blood cells. 5-MTHF is used in the metabolic pathway for DNA synthesis, which is essential for the final maturation of the red blood cell.

*Note that a small but significant percentage of patients may be poor methylators due to the MTHFR gene mutation, and cannot efficiently convert folic acid to the biologically active 5-MTHF. Supplying folate already in its biologically active form is especially important, given the prevalence of the MTHFR gene mutation.

• Glycine............................................................................100mg
  Glycine is an amino acid that forms a chelate complex with iron, increasing its tolerability without hindering absorption. This increases the likelihood of patient adherence, thereby reducing the need for more invasive parenteral iron therapy.

Non-medicinal ingredients:  Hypromellose.

Unlike other iron supplement products on the market, which generally have a long list of fillers, binders, and colouring agents, FERAPRO® has only one non-medicinal ingredient, hypromellose, which plays a crucial role in the delivery of the active ingredients.

Take 1 capsule daily with food or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications.

FERAPRO should be taken orally with food to lessen gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramping.

Certain foods and beverages, when combined with iron, can reduce its absorption. To ensure you get the full benefit from your iron supplement, avoid the following for at least 1 hour before and 2 hours after taking your iron supplement:

• Leafy green vegetables
• Tea and coffee
• Dairy products
• Eggs
• Calcium-/magnesium-containing supplements and antacids
• Fibre-rich meals

Check with your pharmacist to see if your iron supplement should be spaced apart from other medications you may be taking. Remember, making dietary changes to include more heme or non-heme iron is an effective and important part of maintaining a healthy supply of iron for your red blood cells. See our Food Sources of Iron insert for more information about managing iron deficiency and tips for maintaining healthy body iron stores.

When will I feel better?

Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia may include fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath, pale skin, and hair loss. When treated appropriately with iron supplementation, these symptoms should resolve within 2 to 4 months, although iron therapy may be required for another 4 to 6 months to replenish iron stores.

Keep out of reach of children. There is enough iron in this package to seriously harm a child. FERAPRO should only be used under the care and supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner.

• Consult a healthcare practitioner for prolonged use such as beyond 2 months.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have peptic ulcer disease, regional enteritis, or ulcerative colitis.

Be sure to only take the recommended dose of iron. Too much iron can be toxic. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose of iron - call your doctor, a poison control centre, or the nearest hospital emergency room at once. Early signs of iron overdose may not appear for up to 60 minutes or more. Do not delay going to the emergency room while waiting for signs to appear.

Store at room temperature (15°C to 30°C).

• Glycine............................................................................100mg
  Glycine is an amino acid that forms a chelate complex with iron, increasing its tolerability without hindering absorption. This increases the likelihood of patient adherence, thereby reducing the need for more invasive parenteral iron therapy.

• Take 1 capsule daily with food or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications.

• Leafy green vegetables
• Tea and coffee
• Dairy products
• Eggs
• Calcium-/magnesium-containing supplements and antacids
• Fibre-rich meals

• Consult a healthcare practitioner for prolonged use such as beyond 2 months.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have peptic ulcer disease, regional enteritis, or ulcerative colitis.

Be sure to only take the recommended dose of iron. Too much iron can be toxic. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose of iron - call your doctor, a poison control center, or the nearest hospital emergency room at once. Early signs of iron overdose may not appear for up to 60 minutes or more. Do not delay going to the emergency room while waiting for signs to appear. 

Store at room temperature (15°C to 30°C).

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO IRON SUPPLEMENTATION

FERAPRO, originally formulated by compounding pharmacist Bob Mehr in 1997 and formerly known as BOB'S IRON FORMULA, is a holistic blend of iron, vitamins, and cofactors to prevent and/or treat iron deficiency anemia. The absorption and tolerability of the iron in this blend are enhanced by vitamin C and glycine, while the active forms of vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF) support the growth and function of healthy red blood cells. 


NOTE:  As per the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act, this Iron Formula is a schedule II drug which requires professional intervention from the pharmacist at the point of sale. While a prescription is not required, this supplement is only available through a pharmacist. After placing your order online, you will receive a call from one of our licensed pharmacists for a quick teleconsultation. Your order will be shipped out after you have completed the teleconsultation.

Each veg-capsule contains:
Medicinal ingredients: Iron (from ferrous fumarate) 75mg, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 175mg, vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) 1000mcg, folate (l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) 80mcg and glycine 100mg.

• Elemental Iron (from Ferrous Fumarate)..........................75mg
  Ferrous Fumarate provides ferrous (Fe2+) iron, which is more bioavailable than ferric (Fe3+) iron found in polysaccharide iron supplements. It also has the highest elemental iron content of available oral iron salts which allows for once a day dosing.
  
  
• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid).................................................175mg
  The enzyme ascorbate ferrireductase (DcytB) uses Vitamin C to enhance non-heme iron bioavailability by 1.5 to 10-fold. The addition of Vitamin C allows for optimal absorption without having to take additional tablets.
  
  
• Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)....................................1000mcg
  Methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12, is required for the proper development of red blood cells. Methylcobalamin is used in the metabolic pathway for DNA synthesis, which is essential for the final maturation of the red blood cells. 
  
  
• Folate (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate)................................80mcg
  5-MTHF, the active form of folic acid, is required for proper development of red blood cells. 5-MTHF is used in the metabolic pathway for DNA synthesis, which is essential for the final maturation of the red blood cell.

*Note that a small but significant percentage of patients may be poor methylators due to the MTHFR gene mutation, and cannot efficiently convert folic acid to the biologically active 5-MTHF. Supplying folate already in its biologically active form is especially important, given the prevalence of the MTHFR gene mutation.

• Glycine............................................................................100mg
  Glycine is an amino acid that forms a chelate complex with iron, increasing its tolerability without hindering absorption. This increases the likelihood of patient adherence, thereby reducing the need for more invasive parenteral iron therapy.

Non-medicinal ingredients: Hypromellose.

Unlike other iron supplement products on the market, which generally have a long list of fillers, binders, and colouring agents, FERAPRO® has only one non-medicinal ingredient, hypromellose, which plays a crucial role in the delivery of the active ingredients.

Take 1 capsule daily with food or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications.

FERAPRO should be taken orally with food to lessen gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramping.

Certain foods and beverages, when combined with iron, can reduce its absorption. To ensure you get the full benefit from your iron supplement, avoid the following for at least 1 hour before and 2 hours after taking your iron supplement:

• Leafy green vegetables
• Tea and coffee
• Dairy products
• Eggs
• Calcium-/magnesium-containing supplements and antacids
• Fibre-rich meals

Check with your pharmacist to see if your iron supplement should be spaced apart from other medications you may be taking. Remember, making dietary changes to include more heme or non-heme iron is an effective and important part of maintaining a healthy supply of iron for your red blood cells. See our Food Sources of Iron insert for more information about managing iron deficiency and tips for maintaining healthy body iron stores. 

When will I feel better? 
Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia may include fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath, pale skin, and hair loss. When treated appropriately with iron supplementation, these symptoms should resolve within 2 to 4 months, although iron therapy may be required for another 4 to 6 months to replenish iron stores.

Keep out of reach of children. There is enough iron in this package to seriously harm a child. FERAPRO should only be used under the care and supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner.

• Consult a healthcare practitioner for prolonged use such as beyond 2 months.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have peptic ulcer disease, regional enteritis, or ulcerative colitis.

Be sure to only take the recommended dose of iron. Too much iron can be toxic. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose of iron - call your doctor, a poison control center, or the nearest hospital emergency room at once. Early signs of iron overdose may not appear for up to 60 minutes or more. Do not delay going to the emergency room while waiting for signs to appear.

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
• Promotes skin health
