An independent laboratory confirmed the superiority of The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll in a blind random analysis with test rolls from our largest competitors.

| Integra-Lean Irvingia, 60 vegetarian capsules Integra-Lean? Irvingia60 vegetarian capsules Item Catalog Number: 01292Scientists have identified specific biological mechanisms that cause aging people to gain weight? no matter how little they eat. The problem was that there was no way to circumvent the underlying factors that cause excess body fat? until now! As you are about to learn, gaining control over your body?s command signals is critical to maintaining a healthy weight. Leptin is a hormone that tells our brain that we have consumed enough calories and can stop eating. Leptin also induces a process whereby fat stored in cells is broken down. As we age, our cells (including the appetite control center in our brains) become ?leptin resistant.? This means that leptin is unable to effectively regulate body weight.Adult-onset weight gain is characterized by the enlargement of existing adipocytes (fat cells) that store too much fat. The size of fat cells is controlled by gene transcription factors. Fat cell size is closely related with adiponectin expression ? with reduced adiponectin expression in larger fat cells. In addition, gene transcription factors help regulate adiponectin, and this crucial hormone is critical for supporting insulin sensitivity.An enzyme called glycerol-3-phosphatedehydrogenase is critical for synthesizing fatty acids in our bodies. Suppressing this enzyme helps reduce the amount of glucose (sugar) in our bloodstream from being converted into fatty acids.Weight loss utilizing diet modification, supplements, hormones or drugs usually functions via a single mechanism. Adipocytes (fat cells), on the other hand, possess numerous means to ensure their survival. An extract from a West African plant called Irvingia has been shown to help maintain healthy body weight in four ways:*Reversing Leptin ResistanceFat cells produce C-reactive protein, a pro-inflammatory compound that leads to ?leptin resistan

Vitamin D3, 5,000 IU, 60 capsules -
List Price: $11.00
Amazon Price: $8.00
| Vitamin D35,000 IU, 60 capsules Item Catalog Number: 713 Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. Over the past year, however, scientists have validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating cell division and differentiation. These new findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related maladies. As a result of this new research and startling evidence of widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 1000 IU per day and higher. The current RDA, however, is only 400 IU. Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the body from sunlight. However, the winter season, weather conditions, and sunblocks inhibit the body?s ability to produce optimal levels of vitamin D. All of these factors point to the value of taking a daily supplement to ensure optimal vitamin D intake. For those who need to take very high doses of vitamin D3 and are under a physician?s supervision, Life Extension now makes available a 5000 IU vitamin D3 supplement. Supplement Facts Serving Size 1 capsule Servings Per Container 60 Amount Per Serving Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 5000 IU Other ingredients: rice flour, gelatin, magnesium stearate, silica. Contains rice. This product contains NO milk, egg, fish, peanuts, crustacean shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, wheat, yeast, gluten, or rice. Contains NO artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives. Dosage and Use - Take one capsule daily with a fat containing, low fiber meal, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Caution Individuals consuming more than 2,000 IU/day of vitamin D (from diet and supplements) should periodically obtain a serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D measurement. Toxicity is very unlikely in healthy individuals at a dose of less than 10,000 IU. Vitamin D supplementation is contraindicated in individuals with hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels).

5-LOXIN, 75 mg, 100 vegetarian capsules -
List Price: $20.00
Amazon Price: $15.00
| 5-LOXIN®75 mg, 100 vegetarian capsulesItem Catalog Number: 939 The typical American diet is loaded with foods that contain arachidonic acid (like egg yolk, red meat, poultry, and dairy products) or stimulate the production of excess arachidonic acid in the body (foods rich in high-glycemic carbohydrates, saturated fats, and omega-6 fatty acids). Scientific studies show that, along with normal aging, excess arachidonic acid ignites a biochemical cascade that increases levels of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme, which can induce undesirable effects in cells throughout the body.* This cascade culminates in the excess accumulation of leukotriene B4, a proinflammatory compound that attacks the joints, the arterial wall, and other tissues.* In India, extracts from the Boswellia plant have been used for centuries as anti-inflammatory agents.1 Recent human studies have confirmed that a specific Boswellia extract known as AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11 keto-ß-boswellic acid) selectively inhibits 5-LOX.2 Unlike other boswellic acids that only partially inhibit 5-LOX,2,3 AKBA binds directly to 5-LOX, effectively suppressing its pro-inflammatory activity.

Resveratrol Caps, 100 mg, 60 vegetarian capsules -
List Price: $36.00
Amazon Price: $23.95
| Resveratrol Caps100 mg, 60 vegetarian capsules Item Catalog Number: 970 Findings from published scientific literature indicate that resveratrol may be the most effective plant extract for maintaining optimal health.1 Resveratrol, a constituent of red wine and possessing diverse biochemical and physiological actions, including estrogenic, anti-platelet, and anti-inflammatory properties, has long been suspected to have cardioprotective effects.Scientists have hypothesized that resveratrol may be a key component of the famous ?French Paradox?, whereby the French traditionally were protected against heart disease despite a diet high in butter and animal fats. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a natural plant antibiotic which is produced by vitis vinifera as a response to attack by molds. Because of the wide-spread use of pesticides in modern wine-making, including the practice of copper sulphation, the level of resveratrol in modern wines has plummeted. Red wine contains resveratrol, but the quantity varies depending on where the grapes are grown, the time of harvest, and other factors. In fact, usually only 1-3 mg resveratrol per liter of red wine is currently found, even in the most robust red wines. After years of relentless research, a standardized resveratrol extract is now available as a dietary supplement.This whole grape extract contains a spectrum of polyphenols that are naturally contained in red wine such as proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, flavonoids, etc. Based on studies that higher amounts of resveratrol may be beneficial, Life Extension offers a 100 mg standalone product.
