Native to North America, cranberries have been used as a medicinal agent for centuries. Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins, which have been shown to inhibit the fimbrial adhesion of bacteria, including Escherichia coli, to the urinary tract epithelium, hence preventing bacterial proliferation and infection. These unique proanthocyanidin compounds, and not acidification of the urine, are suggested to be pivotal in preventing urinary tract infections (UTI).
Vitamin B6 is involved in more bodily functions than almost any other single nutrient, with roles in homocysteine metabolism, hemoglobin formation, and neurotransmitter synthesis. It also acts as a potent antioxidant in the body. B6 SAP provides a healthy supplemental dose of vitamin B6, including 10 mg of the active form pyridoxal-5′-phosphate, in a blend of B vitamins and choline to support optimal B6 metabolism.
Lysine is classified as being an essential amino acid for human health. This means that lysine has to be consumed in adequate amount in the diet and cannot be synthesized from other amino acids in the body. Lysine is found in highest concentrations in animal protein sources such as meat and dairy. Lower amounts are found in proteins from grain products such as corn and wheat. Lysine is required by the body for many functions, including the synthesis of various connective tissues such as skin, collagen, elastin, and bone. Lysine is also required for the synthesis of carnitine, a nonessential amino acid that assists in the conversion of fatty acids to energy. This is an important function for the health of the immune system, and especially important for antiviral activity. This is one of the reasons that lysine has benefit in treating the herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections also known as cold sores. Lysine has also been shown to help absorb calcium and decreases the amount of calcium excreted in the urine.
Magnesium deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies in North America. It can contribute to a multitude of symptoms and long-term health concerns. Magnesium is an essential mineral for the optimal functioning of the cardiovascular, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems. Magnesium deficiency can also contribute to symptoms such as migraines, PMS, dysmenorrhea, muscle cramping, fibromyalgia, constipation, and insomnia. This deficiency is also commonly seen in alcoholics and patients with diabetes mellitus.
Iron-deficiency anemia is the most prevalent type of anemia in North America. It can cause fatigue, weakness, headaches, and poor concentration. Particularly susceptible are women of child-bearing age and pregnant women, children, undernourished laborers, and the very poor. In children, deficiency can result in irreversible impairment of growth and cognitive development, emotional problems, and impaired immune function. Common problems with iron supplementation have included poor bioavailability, extensive inhibition by dietary components (most notably phytates), and gastrointestinal side effects. Iron chelated with the amino acid glycine is more highly absorbable and elicits greater clinical efficacy than other forms, while exhibiting minimal digestive discomfort. Each capsule provides 30 mg of elemental iron.
B5 SAP is a vitamin B formula designed to support adrenal functions, stress and healthy immune function. It contains a combination of B vitamins but has more vitamin B5, pantothenic acid, that other B vitamin formulas.
Folic acid, or folate, is a B vitamin that must be derived from either dietary sources or via supplementation. Folate is necessary for a biochemical process in the body called “methylation” or “one-carbon metabolism.” This process does not work adequately in a significant number of individuals who have a genetic polymorphism, and it may contribute to a host of different concerns, including neural tube defects, depression, and reduction in red blood cell production. When the body absorbs folate, it goes through a series of biochemical conversions to become the active form l‑5‑methyltetrahydrofolate. If an individual is unable to convert the folate properly, they can end up with a deficiency, even though they are eating foods containing folate. Folate is found in leafy green vegetables, legumes, beans, liver, yeast, and citrus fruits.
Ginger SAP is a standardized extract of Zingiber officinale that is used to help a variety of conditions. Ginger has been used for centuries in the Indian, Chinese, Arabic, and Tibetan systems of traditional medicine to treat nausea and vomiting induced by different stimuli. Ginger has been clinically shown to help prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness and/or seasickness. It can also be used to relieve digestive upset including conditions like dyspepsia and flatulent colic, lack of appetite, digestive spasms, and nausea. Ginger can assist in reducing symptoms associated with primary dysmenorrhea and migraines, and can also act as an expectorant and antitussive to help relieve bronchitis, coughs, and colds.
