Magnesium - Magnesium is an essential cofactor for the production of energy in muscles. Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell of your body. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, and bones strong. It is also involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
-
Manganese - Manganese is an antioxidant nutrient, a necessary element in the production of energy, and the blood breakdown of amino acids. It is essential for the metabolism of vitamin B-1 & vitamin E. Manganese also activates various enzymes which are important for proper digestion & utilization of foods. It is a mechanism in the breakdown of fats and cholesterol, while nourishing the nerves and brain. This supplement is essential for normal skeletal development and sex hormone production.
-
B1 (Thiamine) - Thiamine is one of the B vitamins, a group of water-soluble vitamins that participate in many of the chemical reactions in the body. Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps the body cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system.
-
B6 (Pyridoxine) - Pyridoxine is required for the balancing of hormonal changes in women as well as assisting the immune system and the growth of new cells. It is also used in the processing and metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, while assisting with controlling your mood as well as your behavior. It assists in the balancing of sodium and potassium as well promotes red blood cell production. It is further involved in the nucleic acids RNA as well as DNA. It is further linked to cancer immunity and fights the formation of the toxic chemical homocysteine, which is detrimental to the heart muscle.

OPC's - OPC's are a powerful combination of plant-derived bioflavonoids, known as Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins, or OPC's. OPC's come in the form of grape seed, pine bark and/or red wine extracts, or any combination of the above. OPC's are super-effective free radical neutralizers. Not limited to just being strong antioxidants, OPCs are also crucial in their role in supporting the circulatory system and strengthening the capillaries. OPC's are one of the only antioxidant supplements to penetrate the Blood-Brain Barrier.
-
Omega III Fatty Acids - Omega III fatty acids have been shown to maintain healthy triglyceride levels. Clinical studies show as much as a 25-30% reduction after supplementation with Omega III oils. A strong correlation has also been shown between Omega III oil consumption and the reduction of C-reactive protein levels. Omega III oils are also important in the maintenance of normal blood flow as they help lower fibrinogen levels which helps to prevent platelets from sticking together and forming clots too easily.
