Buy productWhat is Boron?
Boron is a biologically active trace mineral that affects calcium, magnesium and phosphorus metabolism. Boron is known to support bone strength and structure.
Boron is essential to plant growth and in turn finds its way into the human diet. Boron is present in plant foods such as fruits (especially plums, grapes, and avocados), vegetables, nuts, and legumes.
Despite its availability in nature, ingesting adequate amounts of boron can be difficult as Boron levels in plant food may be low and modern dietary habits indicate people do not eat enough fruit and vegetables. -
Buy productWhat is Brewer’s Yeast?
As hinted in the name, brewer’s yeast is a by-product of the beer-brewing process that is produced through the cultivation of a particular species of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on malted barley. Once the fermentation process is complete the yeast is separated from the beer, dried via rollers and then debittered for human consumption. Brewer’s yeast is a naturally occurring source of protein, as well as several vitamins and mineralsBrewer’s Yeast has several naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients.

Buy productWhat is Magnesium Bisglycinate powder?
Magnesium bisglycinate utilizes magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, which facilitates intestinal absorption. Magnesium is a mineral that activates an estimated 300 enzymes, including those that regulate functions critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. In addition, magnesium is required for fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland. -

Read moreWhat is Inositol?
Inositol is a non-essential member of the B-complex family with dietary sources from both animal and plant foods. The form of inositol used in this product is myo-inositol, the most abundant form of this nutrient. Inositol is found in all cell membranes, with the highest concentrations in the brain and central nervous system, where it plays an important role in neurotransmitter signaling. Inositol is also critical for the proper action of insulin, lipid metabolism, and for the maintenance of cellular calcium balance.
