Relora is a natural, proprietary blend of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense. This synergistic combination of extracts helps promote positive mood and moderates occasional stress, in addition to supporting satiety and healthful eating. The magnolia and phellodendron fractions may bind to key central nervous system receptors, including those for GABA and the serotonin transporter, which encourages feelings of satiety and relaxation. A pilot clinical trial reported the Relora helped promote emotional well being, muscle relaxation and moderated occasional stress, without causing sedation and was well tolerated. A follow-up trial reported similar results, as well as indicated that supplementing with Relora may help diminish stress-related sugary snack cravings and promote healthful eating habits. An animal study further demonstrated the supplement\\'s ability to support mood and relaxation. A recent pilot clinical trial performed in Cincinnati, Ohio, suggested that magnolia and phellodendron helped to maintain healthy cortisol and DHEA production and metabolism, which helped support healthy body-fat distribution.

This formula contains essential components for collagen reinforcement and skin hydration combined with restorative antioxidant and immune defense compounds. BioCell Collagen II is a patented, hydrolyzed and denatured low molecular weight type II collagen that also provides a naturally occurring matrix of hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulfate and amino acids including lysine, proline and hydroxyproline. These structural components support the elasticity and firmness of skin and their age-related decline contributes contributes to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, HA attracts water, promoting hydration and moisture retention within the dermal matrix. In a peak absorption study, serum levels of HA increased gradually and with statistical significance after BioCell Collagen II supplementation. Case reports have revealed that BioCell Collagen II helped moderate the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. ACTIValoe is a patented extract that contributes to the synthesis of collagen and connective tissue. Aloe also enhances phase II antioxidant enzyme activity, reducing oxidative stress from environmental factors. Furthermore, ACTIValoe is enriched with modified polysaccharides of medium molecular weight, stimulating macrophage activity and promoting immune defense. CoQ10 enhances mitochondrial function, supporting the high-energy demands of skin cell renewal and collagen biosynthesis. It is also one of the only known naturally occurring lipophilic antioxidants present in the skin surface lipids of the epidermis, providing first-line protection from oxidative and environmental assaults. CoQ10 also helps maintain DNA integrity and recycles other powerful antioxidants. Proanthocyanidin-rich grape seed extract helps stabilize collagen and elastin by moderating activities of the proteolytic enzymes collagenase and elastase. It may also help minimize the appearance of pigmentation in sun-exposed skin. N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) is a hydrophilic amino acid antioxidant that helps boost cellular glutathione levels depleted by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Immune cell activity in the skin may also be enhanced by NAC\'s antioxidant capabilities, restoring vital skin defense. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a source of elemental sulfur, an important building block of proteins and other compounds that helps strengthen hair, skin and nails.

Healthy plasma concentrations of antioxidants, including carotenoids, vitamin C and selenium, have been associated with maintaining healthy airway and respiratory function. One recent trial indicated that serum antioxidant levels were positively associated with vital capacity and expiratory volume. Additional studies suggest that beta–carotene and vitamin C supplementation promote respiratory function after exercise. A double blind, placebo–controlled study revealed that boswellia serrata promoted healthy breathing, vital capacity, expiratory volume and flow rate. 5–LOXIN® AKBA boswellia serrata extract is a patent pending extract providing ten times as much 3–acetyl–11–keto–beta–boswellic acid (AKBA) as typical boswellia extracts. It offers powerful support for maintaining healthy 5–lipoxygenase enzyme activity, moderating the effects of immune mediators. Numerous studies have revealed that vitamin B6 supplementation promotes respiratory health, most likely by modulating prostacyclin, thromboxane and leukotriene metabolism. Flavonols from quercetin and defatted perilla seed extract maintain healthy histamine and cytokine release in mast cells. Randomized double blind, placebo–controlled crossover trials have revealed that ginkgo promotes healthy bronchial dilation while forskolin demonstrates similar potential. Another study revealed that ginkgo plays a role in T cell activity and moderates histamine release.

Satiet-ease is a powerful combination of mood and satiety-supporting compounds to promote emotional well being, moderate occasional stress, and enhance satiety. The amino acid tyrosine is a precursor of catecholamine neurotransmitters, including l-dopa, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are responsible for supporting mood and mental function. l-Tyrosine helps to maintain a healthy response to emotional stress. Relora® is a natural, proprietary blend of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense, providing potential support for satiety and occasional stress. These extracts interact with central nervous system receptors, such as GABA and the serotonin transporter, helping to promote satiety, support healthy body fat distribution and enhance emotional well-being. Rhodiola rosea promotes the activities of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. It has demonstrated the potential to enhance stress tolerance and moderate stress-related fatigue.

Seditol® is a blend of patented Magnolia officinalis extract and a proprietary extract of Ziziphus jujuba. Both extracts have been used traditionally in China for centuries. Studies have revealed that magnolia bark extract and jujube seed extract help moderate central nervous system activity, promoting muscle and overall relaxation as well as supporting optimal sleeping time. Research has indicated that magnolia extract has a calming effect and helps reduce occasional tension in part by binding to adenosine and GABA receptors. In addition, animal studies suggest that magnolia extract may promote positive mood and calm occasional physical and emotional stress. A study involving 50 individuals indicated that Seditol encouraged sleep and relaxation. Another study involving 45 people revealed similar results and also reported support for daytime energy levels. Moreover, Seditol has the potential to provide weight management support, based on recent research suggesting that reduced amounts of sleep are associated with increased weight. Additionally, a randomized crossover clinical trial found that unrestful sleep was associated with increased hunger and decreased levels of the satiety hormone leptin.

A recent randomized, double blind, placebo–controlled clinical trial conducted by researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center and Creighton University School of Pharmacy, examined the effects of Super CitriMax® Plus on various aspects of body composition. Super CitriMax® Plus contains Garcinia Cambogia extract (standardized for hydroxycitric acid, or HCA), ChromeMate® (chromium polynicotinate) and Gymnema sylvestre. The results indicate support for lean body composition, healthy serotonin levels, and improved body mass index. Super CitriMax® Plus also supported output of urinary fat metabolites, indicating fat utilization. In addition, it maintained healthy serum leptin levels, promoting signals that indicate satiety in the brain. Researchers at University California Berkeley have also recently confirmed that HCA is absorbed and retained by overweight subjects. At Creighton University, Super Citrimax® supported the release and availability of serotonin in brain tissue. Serotonin is well recognized for its ability to enhance mood and suppress appetite. ChromeMate supports healthy weight in combination with exercise for overweight females, as indicated by a study at University Texas, Austin. In a separate, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, ChromeMate promoted healthy body composition in overweight women. Gymnema sylvestre promotes healthy glucose metabolism, providing a favorable effect on energy utilization.

Vitamin K includes a group of compounds that contain a central ring structure with varying side chains. These differing side chains account for variations in absorption, bioavailability, transport and tissue distribution. Vitamin K1, phylloquinone, is the most common form and is found in plants and green vegetables. The vitamin K2 family, menaquinones, are less common and are found in meats, eggs, some cheeses, and fermented food, such as Japanese natto. The most common menaquinones are menaquinone–4 (MK–4) and menaquinone–7 (MK–7). Studies indicate that vitamin K1 and MK–4 are primarily concentrated in the liver, while MK–7 concentrates in extra–hepatic tissues, including vascular tissues, and has a longer half–life. Vitamin K enhances bone formation by carboxylating osteocalcin. This enables osteocalcin to bind to calcium and promote healthy bone mineralization. Adequate intake of vitamin K1 and K2 may be especially important for optimal carboxylation in aging individuals, as indicated by a recent study involving Japanese women. By activating matrix Gla–protein (MGP), vitamin K also helps maintain healthy calcium metabolism in vascular tissues, supporting healthy vascular elasticity. Recent studies indicate that vitamin D also potentiates the activity of MGP and that the combination of vitamin K and D provides synergistic support for blood vessel function and bone health. Vitamin K supplementation is contraindicated for those taking Coumadin/warfarin anticoagulant medication.
