NFH – 5-MTHF SAP
$17.50Folic 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.

NFH – L-Lysine
$21.00Lysine 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.

NFH – Magnesium Citrate SAP
$22.00Magnesium 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.

NFH – Male Fertility SAP
$77.60Male infertility is a big concern affecting couples of reproductive age. There are not a lot of options for treatment for me with problems with their semen parameters. Idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia is the most common concern and there are no specific treatment options for men. Oxidative stress from lifestyle and environmental stress may play a huge role in the problem and studies suggest that nutritional supplementation may be valuable. Sperm quality can be influenced to optimize fertility by incorporating supplements to support sperm cell health. Male Fertility SAP is a synergistic formulation of key evidence-based nutraceuticals that can help improve sperm quality and support sperm-cell health. Male Fertility SAP helps support prostate health, maintain cardiovascular health and healthy glucose metabolism.

NFH – Oocyte SAP
$43.00Female infertility is a contributing factor for about one third of infertility cases. The cause of female infertility is linked to ovulation problems and damage to fallopian tubes, which indicates lack of health of the reproductive system in general. These symptoms are mainly reflected in the quality and number of oocytes, which are diminished in an impaired reproductive system. The oocyte has the highest number of mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA copies of any cell. The status and function of mitochondria is crucial to oocyte quality, fertilization of oocyte, and embryo development. Poor oocyte quality is one of the leading causes of failed in vitro fertilization (IVF). Other fertilization techniques such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) are also heavily dependent on ovulation cycles and oocyte quality. Disorders in reproductive system are also characterized by further complications such as polycystic ovary disease (PCOS), accompanied by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, abnormal lipid profile and oxidative stress. Oocyte health impacts reproductive and overall health beyond fertility. Previous treatments for infertility and PCOS with clomiphene citrate and gonadotropins are not without their own complications, and a natural and safe alternative is required to improve oocyte quality and reproductive health.
Oocyte SAP is a synergistic formulation of key evidence based nutraceuticals that can help improve egg quality in patients trying to conceive, undergoing fertility treatment, or with PCOS. By supporting cell health, Oocyte SAP aims at improving overall reproductive health. NFH also offers Male Fertility SAP, a cofactor science based formula designed to support sperm cell health.

Designs For Health – Neuro Mag
$66.00Several studies indicate that synaptic connections in the brain hippocampus, a critical region for learning and memory, decline during the normal process of aging. NeuroMag™, which uses the unique, patented, chelated mineral Magtein®, contains magnesium which is chelated to threonic acid (magnesium L-threonate). It is superior to other forms of magnesium at getting through the blood brain barrier because it is able to transport magnesium ions across lipid membranes, including those of brain cells. Researchers at MIT concluded that elevating brain magnesium content via supplementation with magnesium L-threonate may be a useful strategy to support cognitive abilities and decrease common age-related memory decline.

Designs For Health – Liposomal C
$46.00Liposomal Vitamin C provides this key foundational nutrient formulated with liposomal technology. Liposomes are spheres made of phospholipids—the primary building blocks of cell membranes. Owing to this structure, liposomes bond easily with cell membranes to facilitate intracellular delivery of their nutrient cargo. Thanks to this enhanced delivery and absorption, nutrients delivered in liposomal form offer superior absorption and bioavailability.

Designs For Health – Electrolyte Synergy
$48.00Electrolyte Synergy™ is a complete and balanced electrolyte formula to help promote optimal hydration, especially after excessive sweating. It contains potassium, sodium, chloride and magnesium, the main electrolytes found in the body. D-ribose is included because of its importance in healthy cardiac function, exercise recovery and energy production, while taurine helps to regulate cellular electrolyte flow. Electrolyte Synergy™ also contains vitamin C, along with the synergistic compounds quercetin and citrus bioflavonoids. Vitamin C supports the cardiovascular system by helping to build healthy collagen, which is one of the main structural components of blood vessels
