Guaifenesin

Dr. St. Armand discovered that using the uricorusric, guaifenesin, in patients with fibromyalgia, he could improve all the symptoms of Fibromyalgia by decreasing the excessive accumulation of phosphate in cells. He was actually reducing the excess pyrophosphate in cells that accumulated and inhibited the production of energy, or ATP.

Coenzyme Q10

The prevalence of coenzyme Q10 in the body declines with age. It plays an important part in improving immunity, ageing, allergy, asthma, obesity, diabetes and in the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Creatine

The intake of creatine increases the level of it in the body and should therefore benefit patients, who suffer from disorders in respect of the creatine metabolism or certain neuromuscular disorders.

Folic Acid

Folic acid plays a part in the generation of energy, the formation of red blood-cells, cellular division and formation, and in protein metabolism.

Aspartic Acid

The fatigue-reducing effect of supplementation of aspartate salts has been attributed to the conversion of specific amino acids directly into depleted Krebs cycle intermediates needed for the energy-producing cycle.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD)

Derivatives of niacin, mainly in the form of NAD and NADP coenzymes, are found abundantly in brain tissue. In the case of niacin deficiency, the brain’s supply decreases sharply and the functioning of the brain is disturbed. If the NAD deficiency lasts for an extended period, permanent brain damage develops.

Alpha-Lipoic-Acid

Parallel decreases in cellular NADH/NAD and in lactate to pyruvate ratios were observed in lactate to pyruvate ratios were observed in alpha lipoic-acid-treated cells and may have direct implications in pathologies where reductive (high NADH/NAD ratio, ie NAD deficiency) and oxidant imbalances are considered as major factors contributing to metabolic disorders.

Zinc

More than 200 enzymes that require zinc for their activities have been classified. Zinc plays a vital role in human nutrition and biochemical function. Today it is recognised that a nutritional deficiency of zinc is common throughout the world.

Glycine

Glycine plays an important role in preventing loss of muscle. It promotes the activity of the nervous system. It can make a contribution to the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar depression and energy deficiency.

Magnesium

Magnesium is the second most abundant intracellular cation, has several critically important roles in the body. In addition to energy production and maintaining electrolyte balance, magnesium is essential for normal neuromuscular function as well as calcium and potassium transport.

Biotin

Biotin is involved in important metabolic pathways such as gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and amino acid catabolism by acting as a prosthetic group for pyruvate carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase.

Glutamine

The total NAD level demonstrated and upward trend in cells treated with glutamine.

Tyrosine

Tyrosine is important in the treatment of anxiety, depression, allergy and headache. It plays a part in the pigmentation of the skin and hair, adrenal gland-, thyroid gland- and pituitary gland activity. It also acts as an antidepressant, controls appetite and reduces body fat.

Acetyl –Carnitine

Acetyl-carnitine plays an essential role in energy production and in clearing toxic accumulations of fatty acids in the mitochondria.

Chromium Picolante

Chromium is an essential mineral, which contributes together with insulin, to stable levels of blood-sugar, appetite and control of weight. Chromium also plays an important part in building muscle and in the burning of fat. The best way, in which to supplement chromium is by means of chromium picolinate or chromium polinicotinate.

Hypericum (St John’s Wort Powder)

The most effective of hypericum’s action is the moderate to high potency for inhibition of the reuptake of monoamines, serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline and the amino-acid neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate.

Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA)

HCA inhibits the activity of the ATP citrate-lyase enzyme, which converts sugar into fat. Studies since 1965 have confirmed the role of HCA in weight loss.

L-Arginine
L-arginine participates in changing the internal environment in different but simultaneous ways, ranging from disposal of protein metabolic waste, muscle metabolism, vascular regulation, immune system function and neurotransmission, to RNA synthesis and hormone-mediated regulation of the internal milieu. Reyes AA, Karl, Karl IE, Klahr S. (1994)

L-Carnitine

Conditions which seem to benefit from exogenous supplementation of carnitine include anorexia, chronic fatigue, coronary vascular disease, dipheria, hypoglycemia, male infertility, muscular myopahies, and Rett syndrome. In addition, preterm infants, dialysis patients, and HIV posivtive individuals seem to be prone to a deficiency of carnitine, and benefit from supplementation.

Thiamine (Vit B1)
Thiamine improves circulation and aids in the formation of hydrochloric acid, blood and the metabolism of carbohydrates. It also plays a part in energy, growth, learning and the normal functioning of the muscles of the stomach, heart and intestines.

Riboflavin (Vit B2)

Riboflavin is required for the production of red blood cells, antibodies, cellular respiration and growth. It also aids the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Pantothenic Acid (Vit B5)

Vit B5 fulfils a role in the formation of hormones by the adrenal gland, the formation of antibodies, the utilisation of other vitamins and assists with the conversion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy.

Pyridoxine (Vit B6)

This vitamin fulfils and important role in most bodily functions and promotes physical and mental well-being. It in particular plays a role in the formation of hydrochloric acid, reducing water-retention, the absorption of fats and proteins, the activation of various enzymes, alleviating the symptoms of pre-menstrual tension and allergies.

Cyanocobalamin (Vit B12)

Vitamin B12 is required for the efficient production of blood cells and for normal functioning of the nervous system.

Cholecalciferol (VIT D3)

Cholecalciferol can be formed in out body, by sufficient exposure to the sun. A deficiency of vitamin D3 is rare, but can be caused by a deficient diet which excludes milk, animal fats or meat.
