30. Additional recommended pharmaceutical
grade supplements and access codes.

31. RegeneMax™ provides ch-OSA® (cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid), that helps
naturally nourish your body’s beauty
proteins. Regular orthosilicic acid is highly
unstable, leading it to form polymers. These
polymers are too large for the human body
to absorb. But the patented “choline
stabilization” technology in RegeneMax
prevents
the
polymers
from
forming, ensuring optimal absorption.
RegeneMax has been formulated with
clinically proven ch-OSA for your
assurance.

32. Estro Harmony™ is for women who want
relief from menopausal hot flashes and
support for breast health. Research
suggests the ingredients in this formula
can also benefit cardiovascular status and
bone remodeling.
This all-natural formula delivers a
proprietary blend of plant lignan extract
and 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) from
hops, at clinically relevant levels, to
support the body’s natural process of
healthy aromatase activity and exert
phytoestrogen (e.g., enterolactone) and
antioxidant activity.

33. MedCaps Menopause™ is a unique
combination
blend
that
is
formulated to provide nutritional
targeted nourishment for women
during menopause. It features
specially selected herbs and
nutrients that support the adrenal
glands’ adaptive response as well
as support circulation, relaxation
and overall well-being. Featuring a
non soy derived source of
isoflavones, MedCaps Menopause
may also beneficially influence
estrogen receptor function.

34. PMS
Soothe™
is
a
comprehensive blend of
Native
American
and
Chinese herbs traditionally
used to provide balance
and support for a healthy
menstrual cycle.

35. Hormone Protect™ is an ideal
combination of DIM
(diindolylmethane) and SGS™
(glucoraphanin) that helps protect
estrogen-sensitive tissues by
promoting healthy estrogen
metabolism and supporting
detoxification and neutralization
of harmful estrogen metabolites
and xenoestrogens.

36. ProbioMax DDS™ is a chewable
probiotic designed to activate in
the oral cavity for support of
healthy teeth and gums.
As you chew it releases the safe
and powerful DDS-18™ strain of
Streptococcus
salivarius—a
beneficial bacterium that normally
occurs in a healthy oral cavity. S
salivarius DDS-18 then attaches to
cells in the oral cavity and
colonizes, positively affecting the
bacterial population therein and
naturally defending the teeth and
gums.
