Further information on each supplement:

Acetyl-L-carnitine -- each capsule contains 500 mg of pure acetyl-Lcarnitine. Acetyl-L-carnitine plays a key role in maintaining normal brain and nerve function during aging, as many well-designed human and animal studies have shown consistently. Acetyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring metabolite of L-carnitine, and both are present in the diet, particularly in foods of animal origin. Acetyl-L-carnitine capsules may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to support the body’s nervous system and brain function. It is also involved in energy production at the cellular (mitochondrial) level. Acetyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring compound that supports normal brain and nerve function during aging through various mechanisms. These include its actions on acetylcholine synthesis, membrane stability, nerve growth factor production, and cerebral blood flow. (Further info on this supplement in this PDF.)

Ferronyl® tablets provide carbonyl iron that is easily absorbed and has a low toxicity. Ferronyl® tablets may be a useful dietary supplement for individuals wishing to supplement their diet with iron (such as menstruating and pregnant women, athletes, and vegetarians may have difficulty getting adequate iron supplies from their food sources alone).

Magnesium Taurate 400 supports cardiovascular health and osteo (bone) support.

Opti-EPA™ is concentrated marine fish oil, providing enriched levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 300 mg) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 200 mg). Opti-EPA™ delivers high levels of EPA and DHA, and is lower in saturated fatty acids than regular marine fish oil. Opti-EPA™ is strictly screened for the absence of any toxic metals and chemicals, and is completely free of cholesterol. The oil is carefully processed and handled to avoid oxidation. Essential Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects, and among other factors, are also important in the regulation of normal blood lipoprotein and healthy cholesterol metabolism.

Tri-B-100: Energy and Stress Control is a six to eight hour timed release formulation of all the B vitamins as well as several other important dietary components metabolically associated with the B vitamins. As coenzymes, the B vitamins are essential components in most major metabolic reactions. As water-soluble substances, B vitamins are not generally stored in the body in any appreciable amounts (with the exception of vitamin B-12). Therefore, the body needs an adequate supply of B vitamins on a daily basis. Each timed release B-complex tablet contains Vitamin B-1, Vitamin B-2, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, Niacinamide, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, d-Biotin, Choline Bitartrate, Inositol, and PABA (Para-Aminobenzoic Acid) in a base designed to provide prolonged release over a 6 to 8 hour period. Tri-B-100 tablets may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to increase their intake of the B vitamins to help maintain the higher energy levels needed for stress control. (Further info on this supplement in this PDF.)

Uva Ursi is used as a urinary antiseptic for certain types of urinary tract problems (such as UTIs, urinary cystitis, and bladder infections) in people or pets. It has many antimicrobial qualities. It should be used only 10-14 days in a row and then discontinued for the same amount of time before restarting.
