L-Arginine capsules are a convenient way to ensure you maintain healthy levels of this amino acid. It can help retain youthful elasticity in your arterial system and maintain cardiovascular health.
What Are L-Arginine Caps?
The human body naturally produces L-arginine. It is also obtained through diet. But some people struggle to get enough of this semi-essential amino acid through either of those routes. Our L-Arginine Caps provide 700 mg of L-arginine along with 10 mg of vitamin C to support arterial health and more.
This semi-essential amino acid is involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry that contribute to overall health.
L-Arginine Caps Benefits
- Supports arterial health
- Helps maintain healthy tissue & bones
- Supports already-healthy blood pressure levels
- May help maintain a healthy immune system
A Key Building Block
L-arginine is an amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry, including ammonia detoxification, hormone secretion and immune modulation. It is a key building block for maintaining healthy tissue and bones. In addition to building protein, L-arginine serves as a precursor to nitric oxide, which is needed to help the arterial system retain youthful elasticity.
L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid involved in numerous areas of human biochemistry that contribute to overall health. It modulates immune function, detoxifies ammonia for removal from the body and serves as a precursor for nitric oxide.1
Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator, and supplemental L-arginine can therefore support already-healthy blood pressure levels.2 Higher intake of arginine is also linked to lower levels of C-reactive protein, an important marker of a healthy inflammatory response to support cardiovascular health.3 L-arginine may also help maintain the health of the immune system.

Losing weight—and keeping it off—is all about healthy choices. The lemon verbena and hibiscus extracts in Body Trim & Appetite Control help you feel satisfied, so you won’t overeat and stray from your plan.
What Is Body Trim & Appetite Control?
Clinical research shows that a little encouragement to stick to a healthy eating plan goes a long way towards lasting weight loss. That’s why we’ve created our Body Trim & Appetite Control formula. This weight management supplement helps you feel satisfied so you can walk away from the dinner table without wanting seconds, so you can maintain a healthy weight—for the long-term.
Losing weight is a process. Body Trim & Appetite Control helps master your appetite and avoid overeating…so you can achieve a healthy weight.
Body Trim & Appetite Control Benefits
- Lemon verbena & hibiscus formula helps control appetite
- Helps you resist overeating and stick to your healthy diet
- Produced up to 5% total weight loss (with diet and exercise)
Healthy weight loss is sustained weight loss
Research shows that losing 5% of your body weight has incredible health benefits. But after that initial “honeymoon phase” of feeling good after dropping a few pounds, it can be hard to stick to your plan. Good news: a healthy weight isn’t about starving yourself. It’s about committing to healthy food choices and getting regular exercise…and making these decisions permanent parts of your lifestyle. Body Trim & Appetite Control helps by taming hunger hormones, so you can achieve a slimmer, healthier you.
Did you know that at any given time, almost half of the United States population is trying to lose weight? And they are right to do so: research shows that a 5% reduction in your total body weight can lead to significant health benefits. Unfortunately for many of us the numbers creep back up on the scale after we get to our goal weight. Why is achieving and maintaining weight loss so hard? The answer has less to do with “dieting” and more to do with the choices that you make, every day.
Fewer calories, healthier foods
The formula for losing weight is pretty simple: you need to burn more calories than you get from the food you eat, every day. This is called a caloric deficit—when you achieve this daily, your body turns to burning stored fat to make up the difference.
The problem is, maintaining a caloric deficit can be difficult. Your body is used to eating a certain amount every day. So when it’s not getting its usual amount of calories, it will send you signals to keep eating. That’s where the Metabolaid® lemon verbena and hibiscus flower extract combo in Body Trim & Appetite Control comes in. This clinically studied combination helps encourage satiety—that’s the feeling you get when you’re “full”. This makes it easier to stick to your weight-loss plan!
Lemon verbena & hibiscus extract
In a real-world study, men and women took the Metabolaid® extract combo for 90 days and tracked their food intake and weight loss progress on a mobile app. Not only did over 85% of the participants report a weight reduction, they averaged over 12 pounds lost in 3 months!1
Clinical research backs up this finding: in two separate studies following overweight women, 500 mg of Metabolaid® produced a significant reduction in body weight, BMI, and body fat percentage compared to placebo.2 ,3
Good news: you don’t have to starve yourself. Commit to healthy food choices, get regular exercise…and use Body Trim & Appetite Control to tame those hunger hormones so you can achieve a slimmer, healthier you.

Vitamin D3 can be synthesized by humans in the skin upon exposure to ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation from sunlight. But, due to the winter season, weather conditions, and sun block, the body’s ability to produce optimal vitamin D levels may be inhibited.87 These factors point to the value of taking a daily vitamin D supplement.
Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density.88-94 However, scientists have also validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation, and its profound effects on human immunity.95-101 These findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related problems.
The current RDA for vitamin D is only 600 IU which has resulted in startling evidence of a widespread deficiency for this vitamin. Most experts in the field now recommend intakes between 1, 000 - 10, 000 IU for adults to achieve a serum 25(OH)D level above those indicative of vitamin D deficient levels, at approximately 80 nmol/L or 32 ng/mL.
Life Extension suggests that healthy adults supplement each day with 5000-8000 IU of vitamin D with the objective of achieving an optimal 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood level between 50-80 ng/mL. A vitamin D blood test can help you determine the amount of vitamin D you need to supplement with to achieve an optimal level.

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone
Our PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) supplement is a powerful antioxidant that supports the growth of brand-new mitochondria, to support cellular energy.
What Are PQQ Caps?
Your mitochondria supply energy to the cells throughout your body. But as you age, your number of functional mitochondria declines. PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) can support the growth of brand-new mitochondria, which encourages healthy and youthful cellular energy for your entire body.
PQQ supports mitochondrial biogenesis, which is key to maintaining youthful cellular energy production.
PQQ Caps Benefits
- Promotes the growth of new cellular mitochondria
- Encourages youthful cellular energy levels
- Provides powerful cellular antioxidant protection
- Helps support delicate mitochondrial DNA
- Supports heart health, cognitive health and more
Your mitochondria supply energy to the cells throughout your body. But as you age, your number of functional mitochondria declines. PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) can activate genes that promote the growth of brand-new mitochondria, which promotes cellular energy for your entire body.
Mitochondria are as fascinating as they are essential: They have their own set of DNA. Even the growth of new mitochondria has a name: “mitochondrial biogenesis.” Mitochondrial biogenesis is key to maintaining youthful cellular energy production. PQQ also supports mitochondrial biogenesis and encourages healthy cellular energy levels in 3 distinct ways:
Mitochondrial DNA & antioxidant protection
The enormous amount of cellular energy generated within mitochondria also exposes them to constant free radical activity. Fortunately, PQQ is a potent antioxidant, offering powerful free radical protection and maximum support for cellular energy production at the same time.
Mitochondria possess their own DNA, which is different from the DNA found in a cell’s nucleus. Unfortunately, mitochondrial DNA is more vulnerable to mutations than nuclear DNA. PQQ's antioxidant potency and favorable gene expression profile help to support delicate mitochondrial DNA against oxidation.
Favorable gene expression
PQQ activates genes that promote the formation of new mitochondria.10 PQQ also beneficially interacts with genes directly involved in mitochondrial health. These same genes also support healthy sugar and fat metabolism, youthful cellular proliferation and more.
Other potential whole-body health benefits
PQQ may support quality, restful sleep, heart health and cognitive function, by itself and in combination with CoQ10. Plus, when taken with CoQ10, PQQ promotes memory, attention and cognition in maturing individuals.

Melatonin releases from the pineal gland, reaching its peak at night to help maintain healthy cell health throughout the body.82 Secretion of melatonin declines significantly with age, as the pineal gland becomes calcified.83 Jet lag, shift work, and poor vision can disrupt melatonin cycles.84-86
Melatonin keeps our circadian cycle in tune.87, 88 Not only does this hormone work to maintain cell health, it appears to regulate a system of self-repair and regeneration.89-94 As melatonin diminishes with age, our biological functions are impaired.95, 96 Melatonin also has strong antioxidant properties. It directly scavenges both hydroxyl and peroxyl free radicals, and it does so more effectively than most other antioxidants. It also greatly potentiates the efficiency of other endogenous and exogenous antioxidants.97 Melatonin is especially important for protecting cellular DNA against peroxynitrite damage by inhibiting peroxynitrite free radical reactions.98 Some research has found that melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep in about 60% of people who use it.99-102
Natural Sleep® Melatonin provides 5 mg of immediate release melatonin, in addition to sleep-enhancing cofactors.

Support your eye health and night vision
MacuGuard® Ocular Support provides lutein, trans-zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, three important nutrients that protect the delicate photoreceptor cells in the retinas macula from light damage. This innovative formula also contains C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside), a cutting-edge berry flavonoid compound that helps stimulate regeneration of rhodopsin, a compound in the eyes that absorbs light in the retina to help support night vision.
Benefits at a Glance
- Comprehensive ocular nutrition in a single softgel
- Contains lutein, two forms of zeaxanthin, and phospholipid compounds
- Promotes absorption and concentration of lutein nutrient
- Contains berry flavonoids to support night vision
Carotenoid antioxidants: essential nutrients for your eyes
The nutrients our eyes need are often hard to come by — and our bodies sometimes lose the ability to synthesize them as we age. For instance: carotenoid nutrients such as lutein and specific forms of zeaxanthin make up your macular pigment. This part of your retina protects underlying photoreceptor cells from the harmful effects of excess blue and ultraviolet light.1-5
Macular pigment density: vital for healthy vision
Because of this, the density of your macular pigment is essential6 to healthy vision.7-9 Unfortunately, this density naturally declines with age, 10 and some of us lose the ability to synthesize meso-zeaxanthin from lutein over time. Thats why this formula contains lutein as well as trans-zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, which are difficult to get from diet alone. In addition, alpha-carotene has been added based on new evidence that it helps support the macular pigment.11
Phospholipids for lutein: absorption, concentration and circulation
Getting these eye-healthy nutrients to where you need them most is a huge part of supporting your vision health. This formula contains phospholipids, which mix well with lutein and are an integral part of the cell membrane. Phospholipids have also been shown to support lutein12-17 absorption and improve the circulation and accumulation of lutein within the retina as well.16, 17
Nutrition for night vision: C3G berry flavonoids
MacuGuard® Ocular Support also contains a cutting-edge flavonoid derived from European black currant berry extract. Cyanidin-3-glucoside encourages the regeneration of rhodopsin, 18 a retinal compound which absorbs light. Age-related decline of rhodopsin is associated with the loss of night vision — so this nutrient helps older eyes see better at night.
Vision-enhancing benefits of saffron
This formula also includes the optimal dose of saffron along with cyanidin-3-glucoside to support healthy vision.18-20 People supplementing with saffron showed an improvement in vision as measured by them seeing an average of two additional lines on the Snellen eye chart commonly used by doctors to test vision.18
Start protecting your eye health today!
Eye health is a crucial and often-overlooked part of ensuring quality of life as you age. The potent ingredients in MacuGuard® Ocular Support help protect your macular health from light-induced damage and oxidative stress.
