Our Top 6 Recommended Full Script Supplement

1. Ubiquinol (CoQ10)

Ubiquinol is the active form of CoQ10. It performs many essential functions in your body and plays a critical role in producing cellular energy that is required for your organs to function properly.  In clinical studies that have compared Ubiquinol to conventional CoQ10, it has been shown that Ubiquinol is absorbed by the body more efficiently. As we age our body's endogenous production of CoQ10 declines, and many health practitioners believe supplementing is essential for those over 40 years old.

2. NAC

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid that is necessary to make and replenish glutathione. Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants in your body.  It helps to boost immunity and to fight cellular damage. Research has even suggested that it may improve lifespan. Its antioxidant properties can be beneficial for things such as heart disease, fertility, and some mental health conditions.

  • Parkinson's disease (PD)

  • Premature birth and recurrent pregnancy loss

3. Berberine

Berberine is a bioactive compound that comes from Indian berberis extract root.

Its most important function is activating an important enzyme called AMPK, which regulates metabolism. It is best taken 20 min prior to a carbohydrate-dense meal.

  • Bacteria, fungus, parasites, viruses, and other microbes

4. Garlic (Allicin)

Though we typically refer to garlic when cooking meals, in ancient times, its most common use was medicinal. Garlic releases sulfur compounds when crushed or chopped up. One of these compounds is allicin, which provides many health benefits.

Benefits:

  • Eases inflammation

  • Block free radicals that harm cells and tissues in your body

  • Supports blood pressure health by lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood pressure

  • High cholesterol-by reducing total and LDL cholesterol

  • Elevations in TMAO, linked to heart disease

5. Taurine

Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in the heart. It stimulates GABAergic neurons and specifically binds to the GABAa receptor site. Taurine deficiency recently broke headlines as a key contributor to the aging process.

Benefits:

  • Aids production of NO in the vascular endothelium.

  • Supports Antioxidant maintenance LDL cholesterol oxidation

  • Improves cardiovascular function

  • Helps with sleep, anxiety/ stress relief

  • Prevents the buildup of plaque in the arteries throughout the body.

May Aid in Treating:

  • High cholesterol

  • Swelling of the liver (Hepatitis)

  • Cystic fibrosis

•Taurine has been shown to protect Leydig/Sertoli cells from Nandrolone-induced damage, which could potentially be extrapolated to Testosterone.

•Taurine also appears to have a stabilizing effect on cell membranes via stabilization/normalization of intracellular/extracellular distribution of Calcium.

•Can alleviate “Back Pumps”

6. Saffron

Saffron is a bright yellow color, and it may help brighten your mood, which is why it is often referred to as the “sunshine spice.” It contains multiple antioxidant plant compounds, like crocin, crocetin, safranal, and kaempferol.
