Flaxseed can lower cholesterol; protects against high blood pressure and angina; reduces inflammation of the joints, skin, and kidneys; boosts the absorption of the mineral iodine, which aids in the functioning of the thyroid gland, which regulates energy and the burning of excess fat, by stimulating the rate of metabolism; protects cell membranes; controls constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticular disease; keeps the intestinal pouches free of waste; may prevent painful gallstones from developing and even dissolve existing ones; treats acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea; promotes healthy hair growth, and nourishes dry or brittle nails; treats conditions of numbness and tingling; protects against nerve damage associated with diabetes and multiple sclerosis; helps stabilize a woman's estrogen-progesterone ratio; relieves hot flashes and menstrual cramps; improves uterine function; prevents swelling and inflammation of the prostate; helps with impotence by improving blood flow to the penis; may decrease inflammation and improve lung function in adults with asthma. More on FLAXSEED OIL. See References.Formulas that contain FLAXSEED OIL: Heart GAMMA ORVZANOLGLUCOSAMINEPlays a key role in stimulating the body to manufacture "proteoglycans" which maintain fluid in the cartilage. Cartilage is a rubbery pliable pad that line joints and acts as protective shock absorbers, so that we avoid bone-on bone contact. Cartilage is made up of living tissue that is continually broken down and replaced, however, injury, stress on joints, and the aging process itself, can harm cartilage tissue. Glucosamine helps prevent arthritic symptoms and relieves the pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, Glucosamine is involved in the formation of the nails, tendons, skin, eyes, bones, ligaments and heart valves. More on GLUCOSAMINE. See References.Formulas that contain GLUCOSAMINE: Maximus GLUCURONIC ACIDIs a plant sugar that is used by the liver to detoxify poisonous substances within the body. The body then binds the toxins and expels them through the urine. More on GLUCURONIC ACID. See References.Formulas that contain GLUCURONIC ACID: Maximus
GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACTIs used to fight many types of internal and external infections caused by parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungi; will correct yeast imbalances, and will help eliminate Candida yeast infections, thrush, gingivitis, oral infections, cold & flu, sore throats, strep throat and sinuisitis. Grapefruit Seed Extract does not allow germs to build up a resistance because it disrupts the organism's cytoplasmic membrane. It stimulates the immune system; is highly effective against food poisoning; stops you from coming down with cholera or dysentery when traveling abroad; rids your body of worms and parasites; does not harm or disturb beneficial "friendly" bacteria. If used externally, will eliminate athletes foot in a single application; will render the herpes simplex virus inactive within minutes; has been used on cold sores, warts, cuts, scrapes, infections, rashes, head lice, dandruff, nail fungus, and chickenpox.

Formulas that contain GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT: Heart Maximus GRAPE SEED EXTRACTAn extremely effective anti-oxidant, which is up to 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 30 times more powerful than Vitamin C when it comes to fighting health threatening "free radicals." Prevents the oxidation of LOL, which leads to the formation of plaque or fatty deposits in the arteries; improves circulation; strengthens blood vessels and cell membranes; reduces inflammation of varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and swelling after surgery; supports tissues containing collagen and elastin,and revitalizes aging skin; reduces the tendency for easy bruising; improves night vision and helps prevent macular degeneration of the eyes. Grape seed extract is very similar to pine bark extract as it contains a unique type of bioflavonoids called proanthocyanidins, which are synergistic with vitamin C, that is, they greatly enhance the activity of Vitamin C. In fact, some researchers believe that grape seed extract helps vitamin C enter cells, thus strengthening the cell membranes and protecting the cells from oxidative damage.

Formulas that contain VITAMIN A (Beta Carotene): Alert Heart Maximus One Two Three Four Five Six Seven. MSMIs an organic form of sulfur. Sulfur is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body. It has many therapeutic properties, from nourishing hair, skin, and nails, to clearing up allergies and digestive problems. It is most notably known for its ability to relieve joint pain and inflammation. When rigid tissue cells swell and become inflamed, pressure and pain result. MSM can restore flexibility and permeability to cell walls, thus allowing water and nutrients to freely flow into cells and allowing wastes and toxins to properly flow out. When fluids can pass through the tissues more easily, it helps equalize pressure and reduces or eliminates the cause of pain. Will also help with flexibility, wrinkles, varicose veins, hardened arteries, damaged lung tissue, dry cracking skin, and digestive disorders. More on MSM.
