  • 5-HTP: 5-HTP is an important precursor to serotonin and melatonin, two chemicals which regulate mood, anxiety, sleep and pain sensation. This 5-HTP is derived naturally from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia, and is combined with vitamin B6, which helps your body metabolize serotonin. 5-HTP has also been shown to help reduce appetite. It’s available in 50 mg (60 count and 120 count) and 100 mg (60 count and 120 count) doses.
  • 5-MTHF: L-Methylfolate (or 5-MTHF) is a more bioavailable form of Folic Acid that’s able to cross the blood-brain barrier. It’s great for supporting healthy cardio, mood and nerve function, and essential for proper conversion of homocysteine to methionine, which has been linked to lower rates of atherosclerosis. It’s available in 10 mg, 5 mg and 2.5 mg potencies.
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid: Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that’s used to treat the nerve-related symptoms of diabetes, as well as eye-related disorders. It supports healthy nerve function, and also helps restore levels of other antioxidants, such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C (just like our friend Glutathione), which is great for detoxification. It’s available in 100 mg and 300 mg dosages, depending on your antioxidant needs.
  • CoQ10: CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone, is another powerful antioxidant that’s important for many bodily functions. Found in every cell of your body, CoQ10 is used by your body for cell growth and maintenance. Aside from its antioxidant properties, CoQ10 also helps your body digest food, and helps protect heart and skeletal muscles. CoQ10 has also been shown to help boost your recovery time after a tough workout. With so many important functions, it’s no wonder that this is one of our best sellers. It’s available in capsules (50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg) and a great-tasting orange-flavored powder.
  • DIM Complex: Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a molecule formed in the body when cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage are eaten. DIM, along with a related chemical, indole-3-carbinol, are thought to help protect the body against breast, uterine and colorectal cancers by acting as a catalyst to increase estrogen breakdown. The DIM complex also contains a full spectrum of antioxidants and amino acid precursors to aid in detoxification and cancer prevention.

Protect Your Family This Summer With Sovereign Silver

When most people think of cold and flu season, they think of winter, but sickness can hit even in the summer, and the body aches, stuffiness and fever that accompany it can feel even more miserable when everyone else is out enjoying the sunshine. Don’t miss out on any of that precious pool time, and boost your family’s immune system with Sovereign Silver, now in a new 32 oz. family-sized bottle.

Silver has been used for centuries for its antibacterial and anti-viral properties, and now you can bring this trusted technology to your family with a safe, effective 10 ppm concentration. The microscopic size of the particles allow for easy absorption and excretion from the body, and means that even at a smaller concentration, Sovereign Silver is still highly potent.

Here are some cool facts about the history of silver and its uses as an antibacterial and anti-viral throughout history:

  • Herodotus (The Father of History) describes how the King of Persia carried boiled water with him in silver flagons to prevent sickness.
  • During the Middle Ages, upper-class Europeans used silver goblets and utensils, which may have contributed to lower rates of disease and death from the Plague. It’s thought that the overexposure to the silver in their utensils is where the term “blue bloods” comes from.
  • During the wars with Napoleon, the armies of Tsar Alexander used water casks lined with silver to clean drinking water from rivers and streams. This practice by the Imperial Russian army was continued through World War I, and by some units in the Soviet Army in World War II.
  • In the Old West, cowboys and pioneers used to put silver coins into their water barrels to rid the water of bacteria.
  • In the 1960s, NASA created a portable water purifier that used silver ions to kill bacteria and purify water on the Apollo spacecraft.
