Designs for Health’s new Adrenal Complex now—more than ever—meets the needs of practitioners looking for a glandular-based adrenal product, as it offers a more comprehensive support for overall adrenal and HPA axis function. N-acetyl L-tyrosine and vitamin C were added in order to provide critical catecholamine repletion, often necessary for those experiencing chronic stress. This product was designed with the intention of rejuvenating tired adrenal glands. This product can be used along with Designs for Health Adrenotone Plus.™ With ever-increasing concerns over the safety of glandular materials, we have reexamined this issue and have gone to extreme lengths to obtain the purest and cleanest sources of glandulars on the market today. Our glandular materials are obtained only from certified BSE-free countrie(typicallyArgentina) and are freeze dried to avoid rancidity. The B-vitamin profile of the product was rounded out to include a more complete spectrum of Bs—most of which are provided in their pre-activated phosphorylated form.

In just one product, it is now possible to provide botanical and nutritional enhancement of adrenal cortical and medullary function, adrenal rejuvenation, increased hypothalamic receptor function, and address depletions common to those suffering from the effects of chronic stress.

Description: ArthroSoothe 120 caps

This very powerful B vitamin combination formula supplies most of the B vitamins in their coenzymated forms so the body does not have to phosphorylate them. Biotin is supplied in a therapeutic dose of 2,000 mcg.

C3 Curcumin Complex is a patented, unique composition of three bioactive, health-promoting curcuminoids: Curcumin, Bisdemethoxy curcumin, and Demethoxy curcumin. These are the strongest, most protective and best-researched constituents of the herb turmeric. Multiple studies show that this scientifically-extracted combination not only scavenges and neutralizes harmful existing free radicals; it also prevents their formation in the first place. These interactive antioxidants are proven to protect and strengthen vulnerable organs such as the colon, liver and heart. In addition, these standardized substances give the body powerful, natural tools to better control and diminish systemic inflammation.

Designs for Health’s Calcium Malate Chelate offers the best chelated minerals sourced from the world’s leader in chelated mineral science, Albion Advanced Nutrition. The calcium in Calcium Malate Chelate is now fully chelated to glycine and malic acid, providing a combination of the two most health promoting and most absorbable forms of calcium available. Malic acid is found naturally in apples and other fruits and vegetables. Glycine is a very low molecular weight amino acid found in foods and can be synthesized by the body. Calcium can be perfectly chelated to two moles of glycine. In a study performed by Professor Robert P. Heaney, MD from Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, comparing absorption rates of many common forms of calcium, it was observed that Albion's calcium completely and properly chelated to glycine has far greater absorption than calcium citrate, calcium hydroxyapetite, calcium carbonate and even greater absorption than calcium from milk. (Heaney, R.P. et al Calcit Tissue Int (1990) 46: 300-304.) True chelates are not only absorbed better than calcium salts, but they are retained better in body tissue such as bone. Chelated calcium is better tolerated than non-bound calcium salts as they do not cause the milk-alkali syndrome which can cause stomach upset and kidney problems. Also, the ligands the minerals are chelated to is important as the chelated compound will remain chelated throughout the gut and into the bloodstream. Mineral salts from non-true chelates break apart far sooner, usually in the stomach, leaving the body with the extra compound to deal with. Ionic minerals interfere with the absorption of other minerals including phosphorus and iron whereas chelated minerals do not. Also, vitamin D is added which helps to resorb calcium that otherwise would be excreted.

This classic 6-per day full-spectrum multivitamin includes Albion chelated minerals for maximum bioavailability, high gamma tocopherol Vitamin E, natural mixed carotenoids from the palm tree fruit—the best source of preformed Vitamin A—and additional supportive nutrients not typically found in multivitamins such as alpha lipoic acid, TMG, fruit bioflavonoids and even choline and inositol. It contains a hefty dose of all the B vitamins so easily depleted by stress (B12 in the ideal methylcobalamin form), 500 IU of Vitamin D, and calcium and magnesium in a 1:2 ratio. Selenium and iodine are found together in balance here since it is crucial that the body has both for healthy thyroid function. This is a power-house multi! Two capsules with each meal is recommended.
