The health benefits of omega-3 fats are well documented in the scientific literature. Numerous studies demonstrate the benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, and DHA. DHA is important for the structure and function of cell membranes, particularly those of the nervous system. DHA is critical for normal, healthy brain structure and function. EPA is found in small amounts in the brain, but is required for numerous other regulatory functions throughout the body. EPA helps support a healthy inflammatory response and optimal cardiovascular function. Cardiovascular benefits of omega-3’s include the ability to support a normal, healthy heartbeat and normal blood clotting, as well as healthy blood triglyceride levels. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that everyone eats fish (particularly fatty, coldwater fish) at least twice a week. Salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, lake trout, and tuna are especially high in omega-3 fatty acids. DHA plays important roles in the functioning of the brain and the eye. Researchers are actively investigating the possible benefits of DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids in preventing or treating a variety of brain- and eye-related conditions. Taking more than 3 grams of fish oil daily may increase the risk of bleeding.

Many of today’s popular dietary supplements come from plants that have been used medicinally since ancient times. One of these botanicals is Tribulus terrestris. Tribulus terrestris is a small leafy plant. It’s also known as puncture vine, Gokshura, caltrop and goat’s head. It grows in many places, including parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Both the root and fruit of the plant have been used medicinally in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurveda medicine. Traditionally, people have used this plant for a variety of potential effects, including to enhance libido, keep the urinary tract healthy and reduce swelling Today, Tribulus terrestris is widely used as a general health supplement, as well as in supplements that claim to increase testosterone levels. The Tribulus plant naturally contains high levels of Protodioscin, a herbal aphrodisiac, improving libido and stamina. Many say that supplementing with Tribulus contributes to balancing levels of testosterone within the body.

Vitamins D3 and K2 are both fat-soluble vitamins with similar structures that provide many benefits to the body. Vitamin D is needed at every level for whole body health. In fact, every single type of tissue in your body has receptors for Vitamin D. Your bones, heart, brain, muscles, immune system, you name it, all require sufficient Vitamin D to function optimally. Vitamin D is also the only vitamin that also functions as a hormone in the body, making it even more important to be sure you are not deficient or insufficient in this all important micronutrient. Vitamin D facilitates calcium absorption from the GI tract into the bloodstream and thus plays an important role in maintaining bone density. Once Calcium is absorbed, Vitamin K helps transport calcium from the bloodstream into the bone. Together these two vitamins help maintain appropriate calcium skeletal distribution. Vitamins D3 and K2 help to activate the carboxylation of osteocalcin, which properly supports a strong protein matrix for bone mineralization. Calcium is critical for optimal bone density as well as normal growth. Vitamin K2 helps maintain both cardiovascular and bone health by ferrying excess calcium from the bloodstream into the bone where it is needed. This also prevents calcium from building up in soft tissues and arteries thereby supporting the maintenance of cardiovascular health as well. Studies have shown that vitamin K2 is the more bioavailable form of the nutrient and influences bone building more powerfully than K1. Studies have shown that both Vitamins D3 and K2 are associated with a stronger immune function and help to balance the inflammatory response.

Aids bone growth
Supports bone mineralization
Boosts immune system
Supports control of cell proliferation
Aids the Induction of apoptosis
Balances glucose and cholesterol levels

Lower risks of developing cancer.

Benefits seen by Vitamin D ( 25-OH-D) levels in ng/ml
0-10 = very deficient, may see muscle weakness, hearing problems, pain, skin problems, tiredness, weak bones, fractures and depression
10-30 = considered deficient, may be asymptomatic.
30-50 = insufficient, but starts improving musculoskeletal function
50-70 = good levels, starts promoting control of glucose and cholesterol
70-100 = optimum, boosts immune system and reduces risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer
100-125 = excess levels may give loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting
Over 125 = toxic levels may give excessive thirst, weakness, fatigue, nervousness and high blood pressure
