Helps safeguard ocular health
Designed to safeguard ocular health and support fluid pressure in already-healthy eyes with the powerful blend of ingredients in Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol®.
What Is Eye Pressure Support?
Fluid pressure inside the eyes can increase over time. Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® contains a powerful blend of European bilberry and French maritime pine bark. These extracts are known to promote healthy circulation. But when combined, they help maintain already-healthy ocular fluid pressure.
Ocular fluid pressure can increase over time. Keep your already-healthy eye pressure right where it is with this formula.
Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® Benefits
- Safeguard your eye health
- Help maintain already-healthy eye fluid pressure
- Encourage healthy ocular blood flow
Beyond Healthy Blood Flow
Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® includes Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract, a nutrient famous for its ability to promote endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNO-S), the enzyme required to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide (NO) helps relax the vessels that enable efficient blood flow throughout the body.
The eye is one of the most sensitive organs in the human body. But over time, the fluid pressure inside the ocular chamber of your eye can increase. Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® was developed to help inhibit this slow increase in fluid pressure.
The powerful blend of ingredients in Mirtogenol®, which is already used in Europe, includes Mirtoselect® European bilberry plant extract and Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract.
This proprietary eye health supplement has been shown to support healthy blood flow throughout the body and promote eye pressure already within the normal range. In a groundbreaking 2010 study, the combination of these two extracts in Mirtogenol® induced up to a 24% reduction in already-healthy eye pressure.

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.1-8 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation.9, 10 Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.4-6 A major immune-supporting activity of vitamin C is boosting glutathione levels in human lymphocytes, 38 cells that make up about 25% of all white cells in the blood.
More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress.11-14 Physical stresses on the body such as ingestion of heavy metals, 15-20 cigarette smoking, 21-24 immune impairment, 25-31 extreme temperatures, 31-36 and chronic use of certain medications such as aspirin also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.37
Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it is mixed with water.

For healthy hair & strong nails
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the vitamin B family. It’s necessary for the production of keratin, a protein that is a structural component of hair, nails and skin.
What Is Biotin?
As we get older, our bodies produce less of the structural proteins that we need to maintain healthy hair, skin and nails. Biotin helps produce keratin, one of those important proteins.
Biotin is essential for healthy skin, hair and nails, supporting healthy hair and nails in people who are deficient.
Biotin Benefits
- Supports healthy hair, skin & nails
- Necessary for cellular energy production
- Promotes healthy gene expression
Biotin, sometimes referred to as vitamin B7, is a member of the water-soluble B-complex family, normally only required in small amounts.
Biotin is used as a cofactor in the body, supporting the activities of enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis (the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources) and amino acid breakdown. Biotin is also needed for cellular energy production as a cofactor for the TCA-cycle, or Krebs cycle, enzymes.
A growing body of evidence further suggests biotin may play an important role in gene expression. Biotin is essential for production of the protein keratin, and therefore supports healthy hair, skin and nails.
It is important to note that biotin supplements can interfere with certain hormone and other lab tests. Be sure to consult your health care provider if you take supplemental biotin and need lab tests.

Fight both abdominal & overall fat
AMPK is an enzyme found in every cell in your body. Studies show that increasing AMPK activity can encourage cells to stop storing fat and start burning it for energy—but AMPK levels decline over time.
What Is AMPK Metabolic Activator?
AMPK Metabolic Activator is our customer-favorite formula for weight management. It contains 450 mg of G. pentaphyllum (Jiaogulan) extract and 500 mg of hesperidin, a flavonoid derived from citrus fruit. Each bottle contains 30 vegetarian tablets, enough for a one-month supply at the suggested dosing of one tablet a day. AMPK Metabolic activator is gluten-free and made with 100% NON-GMO ingredients.
The G. pentaphyllum in our formula has been clinically studied to reduce stubborn abdominal fat—and we’ve augmented it with hesperidin from citrus fruit.
AMPK Metabolic Activator Benefits
- Fight fat by encouraging cellular AMPK enzyme activity
- Targets stubborn abdominal fat with G. pentaphyllum extract
- Helps fight overall body fat with the citrus flavonoid hesperidin
Targeting both Belly & Overall Fat
Abdominal fat is one of the worst types of fat. That’s where AMPK Metabolic Activator comes in: not only does the hesperidin citrus extract target overall body fat, but the G. pentaphyllum extract has been clinically studied to target abdominal fat, the type of adipose tissue we’re all trying to avoid.
Fat can accelerate the aging process in your body. Reduced AMPK activity has been observed in fat tissue. That’s where promoting AMPK enzyme activity comes in.
Increasing AMPK activity
Increasing AMPK enzyme activity tells cells to stop storing fat and start using it to create ATP.4 Your body uses ATP for cellular energy. And our AMPK Metabolic Activator provides the citrus flavonoid hesperidin to support overall fat reduction and Actiponin® G. pentaphyllum extract, an extract that activates AMPK and helps promote abdominal fat reduction.
Healthy cellular AMPK activity is an essential part of a weight management program. But please note: AMPK activation will be more effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Other health benefits of hesperidin
Hesperidin also helps promotes healthy vascular function. Try AMPK Metabolic Activator and take the fight against belly fat to the cellular level.

This formula provides the milk thistle benefits of silymarin, silibinins and isosilybin A and B, as well as phospholipids to aid absorption. These compounds deliver full-spectrum support for liver health.
Healthy liver, healthy body
Modern living puts a heavy load on the liver, making it critical to proactively maintain liver health. That’s where hepato-protective herbs such as milk thistle come in. Milk thistle contains antioxidants that support not only liver health, but overall health.1-3
Silymarin is extracted from milk thistle. This extract is a powerful free radical scavenger that promotes healthy liver function in its own right.4-10 Advanced extraction technology has now allowed us to isolate other constituents within the silymarin extract itself and test their ability to support liver health and beyond.
Other compounds in our milk thistle extract
Silibinin is another compound present in our high-quality milk thistle extract. Made up of silybins A and B, it is the most biologically active flavonolignan component found in milk thistle extract. Its beneficial effects on the liver have been shown in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Other milk thistle extracts called isosilybin A and B have proven to be the most efficient at helping to maintaining healthy cell division.
Phosphatidylcholine and other phospholipids enhance milk thistle’s delivery
The main bioactive compound of milk thistle, called silybin, does not dissolve well in water. This makes it difficult for the body to absorb all of it. Scientists have overcome silybin’s poor bioavailability by integrating it into a phytosome. A phytosome is a tiny sphere made out of plant-derived phosphatidylcholine.
This phosphatidylcholine-based delivery system facilitates transportation across the intestinal lining into the bloodstream, making it an ideal carrier molecule for silybin. Scientists believe that phosphatidylcholine molecularly bonds to silybin, helping to steer it through the cell membranes in the intestinal tract. This improves the delivery of the benefits of milk thistle extracts for liver health.
Preclinical and clinical evidence showed that this silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex resulted in almost 5-fold greater concentrations of silybin in the bloodstream than unformulated silymarin, and its ultimate bioavailability to the liver, its target organ, is up to 10-fold greater than unformulated silymarin.

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

Helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, for plant-based diets
Finally: a vegan alternative to support healthy collagen production. Our formula delivers a clinically studied blend of amino acids, vitamin C and botanical ingredients to support healthy collagen production in the body.
What is Vegan Pro-Collagen?
Many collagen supplements aren’t compatible with a plant-based diet. But now there’s a vegan alternative: Vegan Pro Collagen combines the same amino acid profile as type I collagen (the most common type of collagen found in skin) with vitamin C, gotu kola and ginseng root extracts, in a combination clinically studied to promote healthy collagen production and help reduce common signs of skin aging and the appearance of wrinkles.
Do you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet? This formula is the perfect way to support healthy collagen production and radiant skin.
Vegan Pro Collagen Benefits
- Clinically studied to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by 14%, enhance skin texture by 13%, and increase collagen density by 8% after just eight weeks
- Delivers the identical amino acid “building blocks” that your body can use to create type I collagen
- Contains an additional botanical blend to help support normal collagen production and nourish youthful, vibrant looking skin
- Provides a vegan alternative to popular collagen supplements
A Vegan Alternative for Healthy Collagen Production
You don’t have to choose between a plant-based lifestyle and beautiful skin. Vegan Pro Collagen combines the exact amino acid profile as the type I collagen in your skin with vitamin C, gotu kola and ginseng root extracts. This combination has been clinically studied to support healthy collagen production and healthy-looking skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Our Vegan Pro Collagen is a novel alternative to traditional collagen supplements, ideal for those following plant-based diets. Here's why: the nutrient blend in our formula has been scientifically formulated to provide the same skin benefits as other collagen supplements.
Clinical studies
During pilot randomized, placebo-controlled studies, the amino acids and collagen-boosting nutrients in our Vegan Pro Collagen supplement were taken for four weeks. The vegan collagen group recorded an increase in collagen density and an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In the second study, the vegan collagen group noted improvements in skin texture and hydration.
In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study, our vegan collagen combo was compared to traditional collagen (from fish). Not only did the vegan collagen group report similar improvements in collagen density, appearance of wrinkles, and overall skin hydration and health, but the vegan collagen group's results were nearly identical to the marine collagen group.
