The adrenals are ductless glands of the endocrine system that are responsible for producing some of the most important hormones in the body. Each gland normally weighs about five grams and is comprised of two parts: the cortex or outer section, which is responsible for the production of cortisone, and the medulla or central section, which secretes adrenaline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adrenal cortex helps to maintain salt and water balance in the body. It is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and the regulation of blood sugar. The cortex produces a sex hormone similar to that secreted by the testes as well. The medulla of the adrenal gland produces the hormone epinephrine, also called adrenaline, when the body is under stress. This hormone speeds up the rate of metabolism in order to help the body cope with stressful situations. The functioning ability of the adrenal glands is most often impaired due to extensive use of cortisone therapy for nonendocrine diseases, such as arthritis and asthma. Long-term use of cortisone drugs causes the adrenal gland to shrink in size. Pituitary disease and tuberculosis also cause adrenocortical failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn conventional medical circles, people suffering from stress are generally diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome though some are given more erudite-sounding pronouncements that appear to refer to viruses, like Epstein-Barr Syndrome or Cytomegalovirus. Some are told that they are allergic or environmentally sensitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSymptoms range from simple exhaustion to much more complex problems. Stress can be emotional, such as insecurity due to lack of parental understanding and support, fear that a vital relationship is unstable because of a partner's illness or infidelity, worry over one's own health and viability, or concern for the well-being of those dear to oneself. Stress can be job- or money-related. One may not like the work or the workplace or other people at work; one may not be earning enough to make ends meet. Stress can also be very physical: working long hours, not sleeping well, straining oneself to meet perceived outside obligations, or sports-related, such as with marathon competitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Roots Herbal Adrenal Concentrate gives the adrenal gland support to meet the challenges of today's high-stress environment.

Without stress life becomes boring.  The key to stress, as with everything else in life, is balance. Enough to keep you interested but not enough to become overwhelmed.  Individuals have different thresholds for stress.  What is seen as stressful to one person may not be stressful to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stress response is the body’s way of preparing for action.  As our species evolved it kept us safe, allowing us to fight for survival, or to flee from dangerous situations.  The sympathetic nervous system response involves increased heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenal output, as well as increased blood flow to the brain, muscles, lungs, and heart.  Those organs that are not needed to fight or flee receive less blood flow, for example, the digestive organs.  This response is very efficient for a short period of time but it is meant to be used sparingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of constant stress can be tense muscles, headaches, stomach cramps, teeth grinding, decreased immunity, exhaustion, and insomnia.  Emotionally stress can lead to memory problems, mood related disorders, emotional outbursts, panic attacks, and anxiety.  It is believed that constant stress is a factor in the development of many chronic diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe often ignore the first signs of stress, such as headaches and insomnia, and use medication to stop the symptoms.  We use stimulants, like caffeine, to allow ourselves to keep working when the body is trying to tell us to slow down.  The masking of stress symptoms eventually causes the body to breakdown. The standard North American diet is deficient in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.  It is high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and chemical additives and preservatives. These substances not only do not give your body usable energy, but they also inhibit the use of good quality food by depleting enzymes and hormones necessary for energy conversion.  The body must also deal with the toxic by-products of foods like bleached flour and sugar, artificial sweeteners and flavours and trans-fatty acids.  All of these stressors compromise the health of an individual.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Roots","offers":[{"title":"30 Capsules","offer_id":42621961994411,"sku":"2262","price":20.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"90 Capsules","offer_id":42621962027179,"sku":"1347","price":50.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/2262-new-roots-herbal-adrenal-pure-glandular-concentrate-200mg-30-vegetable-capsules-min.jpg?v=1711139680"},{"product_id":"new-roots-amino-mix-850mg","title":"New Roots Amino-Mix 850mg, 240 Tablets","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\tNew Roots Amino-Mix Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tNew Roots Herbal’s Amino-Mix is made from 100% pure pharmaceutical grade Lactalbumine Hydrolysate for maximal protein utilization.

Amino acids are dependent on vitamins and minerals to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAmino acids are organic molecules that form the basic constituents of protein. Proteins are simply collections of large particles of accumulated links of peptides (or polypeptides). In the digestion process proteins are broken down, in a process called hydrolyzation, from polypeptides to smaller oligo-peptides, then to di-peptides or tri-peptides, which are made up of two or three links of specific amino acids, called free-form amino acids, that are finally absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, we can see that amino acids are, quite simply, the most basic building blocks of proteins. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTypically, discussions of amino acids revolve around about 20 or so amino acids that are involved in body function. Of these, eight (some say 10) are deemed to be essential due to the fact that; 1) the body cannot make them so that they must be taken in from an external source, and 2) the body cannot survive with a deficiency of any one of them. The essential amino acids are Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Methionine, Lysine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, and Tryptophan. The first three, Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine, are commonly referred to as the branch chained amino acids and are of particular importance due to their ability to provide the body with about 70% of its nitrogen needs. Studies have shown that a shortage of branch chained amino acids, coupled with increased physical demands on the body, can lead to a cannibalization of muscle tissue to respond to the body’s need for nitrogen. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFree-form amino acids are made up of high-grade individual amino acids. This form of amino acid needs no digestion and passes directly into the bloodstream to provide a hard training athlete with aminos for tissue repair and muscle hypertrophy. (Predigested amino acids have relatively low absorption and lack any amount of natural tryptophan). -’In the human body, amino acids not only form the building blocks of our voluntary, or skeletal, muscle tissue, such as the biceps, quadriceps, etc., but they also form the building blocks of our involuntary muscles, such as the heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIn addition to this muscle building function, each individual amino acid has a specific function in the body. These functions include assisting in transporting long chain triglycerides and dietary fat into the cells for energy. Stimulating the pituitary to secrete growth hormone, which is involved in developing lean muscle tissue as well as mobilizing fatty acids from the adipose tissue. Importantly, they also supply the body with nitrogen. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOne of the more controversial topics regarding amino acids today is capsule absorption versus the value of using tablets. In past years, capsules definitely proved to have a quicker entry time into the system. However this is no longer true. Due to advances in tabulating technology, using magnesium stearate, the modern tablet today can actually dissolve faster than capsules. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"New Roots","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42621962059947,"sku":"1167-DiscoSupplier","price":37.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/1167-new-roots-free-form-bcaas-90-vegetable-capsules-min.jpg?v=1711140321"},{"product_id":"new-roots-borage-oil","title":"New Roots Borage Oil 1000mg Certified Organic Softgels","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNew Roots Borage Oil 1000mg Certified Organic Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Roots Borage Oil is certified organic and non-G.M.O. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom its bristly stems to its blue star-shaped flowers, virtually all parts of the borage plant (Borago officinalis) have been used over the centuries for their healing properties and as a flavoring for foods.

(While borage oil is often used interchangeably with evening primrose oil, borage oil boasts more than twice as much GLA.) Once processed by the body, GLA is converted into hormone-like substances that can either block inflammation or promote it. In borage oil, the GLA seems to calm inflammation overall, making it an attractive treatment option for arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Nature’s most potent concentration of GLA comes in the form of borage seed oil (24%). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essential fatty acids combined here have proven to impart a regulatory function on the body’s fatty acid metabolism. Dietary essential fatty acids common to borage seed oil are ultimately converted to hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are important for the regulation of a host of bodily functions including inflammation, swelling, pain pressure in the eye, joints or blood vessels, secretions from mucus membranes and their viscosity, smooth muscle and autonomic reflexes, gastrointestinal system, arteries, ears, heart, water retention, blood clotting ability, allergic response, rheumatoid arthritis, nerve transmission, and steroid production \u0026amp; hormone synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Roots Borage Oil Helps Promoting Optimal Health\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePast and present scientific research supports the use of essential fatty acid nutrients in promoting optimal health.

Borage oil may also reduce some of the breast tenderness that women feel before their periods and calm endometriosis-associated inflammation. Many PMS sufferers are found to have unusually low levels of GLA in their systems, which is why supplements may help so much. In women with fibrocystic breasts, the oil’s essential fatty acids can minimize breast inflammation and promote the absorption of iodine, a mineral often found in abnormally low levels in those with this condition.

The symptoms may be worse in damp or mouldy places. They may also worsen after consuming sugary or yeast-based foods. Visually a candida infection appears as white spots that may grow together.

Stress can elevate cortisol levels. Cortisol, among its other effects, triggers the production of inflammatory COX-2 enzymes, the first step in a series of inflammatory processes. This cascade effect then influences blood sugar changes, which also increases metabolic inflammation, and the cycle continues. It is important to understand that although inflammation is necessary and useful in terms of healing and protecting the body, it can also be very damaging to the body, as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost every disease in the body begins with an inflammatory response.

In terms of stress reduction and disease prevention, holy basil treats the root of the problem, as well as major disease processes that most often branch off, regulating blood sugar and reducing inflammation. You can see now why it is also often called the Queen of herbs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dried leaves of Holy Basil can be powdered and used in capsule form or made into an alcohol extract or tincture. There is no known maximum dosage in terms of safety, although a typical dosage ranges anywhere from 300 mg to 2g\/day. Although Holy Basil is considered safe and harmless, individuals already undergoing pharmaceutical intervention for high blood sugar or to prevent blood clotting should be careful of the additive effect that Holy basil has with these medications.

Like most things in life too much can be a bad thing; as cholesterol builds up in our blood and attaches to arteries it can lead to a higher risk of coronary artery disease. Luckily our body has ways of moving cholesterol around; one such carrier is called high density lipoprotein and is often termed \"good\" cholesterol. The different forms of these often become unbalanced and lead to disease. Cho-Less-Terin can regulate the balance of LDL, HDL and tryglycerides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood cholesterol is thought to help remove excess cholesterol from atheroma (inflammation) within arteries.

Cholesterol is vital to the production of many hormones, vitamin D and the bile acids that help to digest fat. When too much cholesterol is in the bloodstream, the excess is deposited in the arteries, including the coronary arteries, where it causes the narrowing and blockages that cause heart disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh cholesterol is one of the major controllable risk factors for coronary Heart disease, Heart attack and stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Heart Disease.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged by cholesterol and fat deposits, they cannot supply enough blood to the heart. The result is coronary heart disease. If not enough oxygen-rich blood reaches the heart, you may experience chest pain called angina. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off, the result is a heart attack due to the sudden closure from a blood clot forming on top of a previous narrowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKeeping your cholesterol in check.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCholesterol can be both good and bad, so it's important to learn what bad cholesterol is and how it affects your health. By managing your cholesterol properly, you can take better care of your heart, live a healthier life and reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. In fact, recent studies have shown that sterols from plants can reduce total cholesterol by an average of 10% and LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) by 15%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Roots Cho-Less-Terin contains:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGuggul 2.5% guggulsterones e and Z\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuggul is the name of the gummy yellowish resin of the mukul myrrh tree Commiphora mukul, native to India and Arabia.

Physical stress can increase the loss of nucleotides (such as ATP, ADP and AMP) from the hearth and skeletal muscles. D-Ribose is critical in the continuous production of ATP, the molecule which gives our muscles and our heart the energy they need to perform. Ribose metabolizes into 5-phophoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), which is a rate limiting substance used in the synthesis of nucleotides. D-Ribose supports muscle recovery, increases energy and endurance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll muscles in the body rely on a constant supply of ATP for the energy they need to function properly. When we place great energy demands on our heart or skeletal muscles through intense physical exercise, our muscles become deprived of oxygen due to diminished blood flow. This oxygen deprivation leads to a drastic decrease in muscle ATP\/energy levels. Studies have shown that muscle ATP stores can be decreased by as much as 60-70% following exhaustive exercise and that it can take over 72 hours for these ATP stores to be adequately replenished. During this recuperation period, muscular strength and endurance may be greatly diminished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD-Ribose has been shown to dramatically enhance the rate at which ATP is replenished in the muscles decreasing the recovery time from 72 hours in as little as 12 hours!

Without stress life becomes boring. The key to stress, as with everything else in life, is balance. Enough to keep you interested but not enough to become overwhelmed. Individuals have different thresholds for stress. What is seen as stressful to one person may not be stressful to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stress response is the body’s way of preparing for action. As our species evolved it kept us safe, allowing us to fight for survival, or to flee from dangerous situations. The sympathetic nervous system response involves increased heart rate, blood pressure and adrenal output, as well as increased blood flow to the brain, muscles, lungs and heart. Those organs that are not needed to fight or flee receive less blood flow, for example, the digestive organs. This response is very efficient for a short period of time but it is meant to be used sparingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three types of stressors and the body deals with each one the same way.

Scientific texts on Chinese herbs and top medical doctors in Shanghaï report that Horny Goat Weed boosts libido, improves erectile function, and helps to mitigate menopausal discomfort. The leaves contain a variety of flavonoids, polysaccharides, lignans, sesquiterpenes, phenolic and penethylol glycosides, ionones, sterols, and an alkaloid called magnaflorine. Horny Goat Weed is a botanical that has also been used traditionally in Japan. This herb is also used for disorders of the kidneys, joints, liver, back and knees. Horny Goat Weed's most common use is as an aphrodisiac. Through research, Horny Goat Weed has been found to have testosterone-like effects. It stimulates sexual activity for both men and women, increases male sperm production, stimulates the sensory nerve endings, and increases overall sexual desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tAphrodisiac research on New Roots Horny Goat Weed\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHorny Goat Weed's aphrodisiac effects have been verified in both animal and human research. Mice treated with a Horny Goat Weed preparation produced \"apparent effects on the improvement of sexuality\". It was also shown to improve their sperm producing capability. Since Horny Goat Weed has been traditionally used for kidney disease, it is intriguing how it demonstrated an increase in the sexual drive and quality of life for patients with chronic renal failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tNew Roots Horny Goat Weed Inhibits Enzyme \u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tResearch has shown that Horny Goat Weed significantly increases testosterone levels in mice. This appears to be the herb's main mechanism of action, although Horny Goat Weed could have more than one. For example, through research, it has been established that sexual arousal is linked to the activity of cholinergic neurotransmitters. However, an enzyme called acetyl-cholinesterase (ACHE) inactivates cholinergic neurotransmitters within 1\/500 of a second. Research shows that Horny Goat Weed is capable of inhibiting ACHE. This in turn could support higher levels of the key cholinergic neurotransmitters associated with sexual arousal. Research has also shown that Horny Goat Weed has anti-fatigue effects and aids in preventing adrenal exhaustion. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"New Roots","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42621963796651,"sku":"0847","price":52.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/0847-new-roots-herbal-horny-goat-weed-500mg-60-vegetable-capsules-min.jpg?v=1718290479"},{"product_id":"new-roots-liver-support-formula-milk-thistle-plus-alpha-lipoic-acid","title":"New Roots Liver Protection, Support Formula (Milk Thistle Plus Alpha Lipoic Acid), 45-180 Vegetable Capsules","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNew Roots Liver Support Formula Details \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Roots Liver Protection is a powerful formula designed to support healthy liver function.

This compound was determined to be part of the olive tree’s powerful disease resistant structure. In 1962, an Italian researcher discovered that oleuropein had the ability to lower blood pressure in animals. Other researchers validated that claim and also found it to increase blood flow in the coronary arteries, relieve arrhythmias and prevent intestinal muscle spasms. The search began for the chemical agent within oleuropein that would be the most important medically. The chemical was elenolic acid. Further European research determined this compound to have strong bactericidal capabilities as well. In the 70’s, studies were published by The American Society for Microbiology in regards to a new multifunctional monoterpene which they had isolated from various parts of the olive tree. The compound was called calcium elenolate, a crystalline salt of elenolic acid. When tested, this compound was found to be virucidal against all the viruses tested. The compound acted effectively at low concentrations without any harm to the host cell mechanisms. It was found to be extremely safe and non toxic, even at high doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tLaboratory Tests on New Roots Olive Leaf Extract \u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAccording to laboratory tests, calcium elenolate (derived from oleuropein) kills viruses by interfering with certain amino acid production processes. This interference prevents virus shedding, budding or assembly at the cell membrane. Studies suggest that this compound has the ability to penetrate infected host cells and irreversibly inhibit viral replication. Researchers in Europe investigated the properties of oleuropein and suggested that it inactivated bacteria by dissolving the outer lining of the microbes. More recent studies of oleuropein show that it seems to protect low density lipoprotein from oxidation, thus reducing the LDL (bad cholesterol). Another research study in France remarks that Olea europaea leaf extracts show extremely high antioxidative qualities. The new olive leaf extract not only confirms the earlier test finding (less the serum binding problem), but seems to show itself as an immune system builder by directly stimulating phagocyte production (phagocytosis). It also contains natural flavonoids and esters that create a structural complex that infectious microorganisms may not readily develop a resistance to. Biochemists have determined that the extract has multiple iridoids and that the synergy of these working together is the reason for the wide spectrum effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tSome people experience what is known as Herxheimer’s reaction. This is a detoxification reaction and not a counteraction to the product. If any of these symptoms should occur —greater fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, muscle\/joint aches or flu-like symptoms—, temporarily discontinue taking olive leaf extract or cut back on the amount taken until the body can eliminate the toxic waste.

They work by competing with cholesterol for absorption in the gut: plant sterols block some dietary cholesterol from being absorbed, plus block reabsorption of cholesterol the liver excretes through bile. Most fortified margarines now contain added plant sterols for this exact reason. New Roots delivers therapeutic potency in a softgel — better than trace amounts from fortified foods. The added annatto seed extract brings tocotrienol antioxidant value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow New Roots Sterols \u0026amp; Sterolins Compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSterols \u0026amp; Sterolins vs Red Yeast Rice\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed yeast rice contains compounds chemically similar to statin medications and works through a different pathway (inhibiting cholesterol production in the liver). It can lower LDL substantially but has the same potential side effects as statins (muscle pain, liver concerns). Plant sterols work by blocking absorption, with a different and gentler side-effect profile. Some practitioners use both together for layered support; others choose based on individual situation. Plant sterols are generally the safer first-line natural choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSterols \u0026amp; Sterolins vs Omega-3 Fish Oils\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmega-3s work primarily on triglycerides and inflammation rather than LDL cholesterol — different cardiovascular targets.

They're effective if eaten consistently, but the daily volume and added sugars\/fats can be unattractive. Sterol supplements give you the therapeutic dose in a small softgel without the food calories. Either approach works; supplements are usually more practical for daily consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSterols \u0026amp; Sterolins vs Bergamot Extract\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBergamot citrus extract is another natural cholesterol-support compound with growing research — works partly through enzyme inhibition similar to statins, partly through other pathways.

At this rate, it's not uncommon for women to develop osteoporosis and to suffer fractures easily. And it's not only the lack of calcium in the diet that may be causing the disease, but lifestyle choices as well. Smoking and too much alcohol both weaken our bones, while the lack of weight-bearing exercise hinders the capability to build and maintain bone strength.

It is also characterized by an abnormal mineral\/collagen ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tPrimary osteoporosis represents bone mass loss unassociated with any other chronic illness.

Osteoporosis is insidious because you can't see or feel what's happening. Most people who have the disease don't know it, until a bone breaks. Though the obvious problems usually occur later in life, we now know that the invisible damage begins earlier - much earlier than most of us realize. A woman's estrogen levels can drop when she over-exercises or under-eats. One sign of low estrogen is missed periods and this can affect your bone density. Most young women have normal cycles and enjoy the natural protection of estrogen, which plays a vital role in bone health. But as our estrogen production slows, bone loss begins. Starting around age 35 we lose up to one percent of our bone mass each year. These losses accelerate rapidly after menopause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tStrong bones, or protection from osteoporosis, are not dependent upon calcium alone. While elemental calcium is essential, other minerals and nutrients, including protein and vitamins C, D3, B1 and K1 are needed to maintain and correct calcium levels and promote superior bone health. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"New Roots","offers":[{"title":"180 Capsules","offer_id":42621969039531,"sku":"0297","price":53.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"360 Capsules","offer_id":42621969072299,"sku":"0950","price":98.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/0296-new-roots-herbal-strong-bones-90-vegetable-capsules-min.jpg?v=1717523010"},{"product_id":"new-roots-ultra-b-complex-100mg","title":"New Roots Ultra B Complex 100mg","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\tNew Roots Ultra B Complex Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tUltra B Complex incorporates coenzyme (active form) B vitamins, functional flush-free niacin, and enhanced-absorption choline in a complete B-complex formula.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tUltra B Complex incorporates vitamin C and coenzyme (active form) B vitamins, functional flush-free niacin, and enhanced-absorption choline.

Diabetes is caused by insufficient secretion of insulin by the pancreas. This is imperative because the utilization of glucose is regulated by insulin.

Taking vanadium will not make you beautiful, youthful, and lustrous, but evidence from animal studies suggests it may be an essential micronutrient. That is, your body may need it, but in very low doses. Based on promising animal studies, high doses of vanadium have been tested as an aid to controlling blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Like chromium, another trace mineral used for diabetics, vanadium has also been recommended as an aid in bodybuilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tChromium Polynicotinate\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIt is a simple mineral the body needs in very small amounts, yet chromium plays a significant role in human nutrition. Chromium's most important function in the body is to help regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Insulin plays a starring role in this fundamental biological process, by regulating the movement of glucose out of the blood and into cells. Scientists believe that insulin uses chromium as an assistant (technically, a cofactor) to \"unlock the door\" to the cell membrane, thus allowing glucose to enter the cell. In the past, it was believed that, to accomplish this, the body first converted chromium into a large chemical called glucose tolerance factor (GTF).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tCinnamon Extract 10%\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHighly preliminary evidence also suggests that cinnamon might have potential benefits for allergies and diabetes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tFenugreek 50%\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tPresent interest in fenugreek focuses on its potential benefits for people with diabetes or high cholesterol. Numerous studies and preliminary trials in humans have found that fenugreek can reduce blood sugar and serum cholesterol levels in people with diabetes. Significantly, fenugreek can improve some measures of blood sugar control and insulin response as compared to a placebo. Triglyceride levels decreased and HDL (\"good\") cholesterol levels increased, presumably due to the enhanced insulin sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tGarlic 10,000 allicin\/gm\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tPreliminary evidence shows that garlic may help prevent atherosclerosis, the most common cause of heart attacks and strokes.

This may be due to the fact that inulin is composed of fructose chains which may act to buffer blood glucose levels, thus preventing sudden and severe fluctuations. Dandelion may intensify the blood sugar-lowering effect of the diabetes drug, glipizide. It contains inulin, a natural fructose that helps diabetics lower their blood sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\tGrapeseed Extract 95%\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tProanthocyanidins concentrate in the linings of microscopic blood vessels in the eye.

Known as diabetic neuropathy, this painful condition tends to develop in people who have uncontrolled diabetes for a period of time. This neuropathy is usually caused in part by free-radical damage to nerves resulting from unregulated blood sugar balance (glucose). Because of its antioxidant properties, alpha-lipoic acid can help to block such damage. In addition, its effect on glucose metabolism improves the glucose-lowering action of insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar). \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New Roots","offers":[{"title":"60 Capsules","offer_id":42621977395371,"sku":"1088-DiscoVitamart","price":56.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120 Capsules","offer_id":42621977428139,"sku":"1086-DiscoVitamart","price":105.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/1088-new-roots-herbal-blood-sugar-balance-60-vegetable-capsules-min.jpg?v=1718294398"},{"product_id":"new-roots-hair-and-scalp","title":"New Roots Hair \u0026 Scalp Support Capsules, Promotes Healthy Hair Health, Helps Prevent Hair Loss and Thinning, For Men and Women","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNew Roots Hair \u0026amp; Scalp Support Capsules Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHair \u0026amp; Scalp provides broad-spectrum protection from hair loss and thinning for both women and men, with special nutraceuticals and critical B-complex vitamins that promote productive hair follicles and healthy hair.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHair \u0026amp; Scalp is formulated with standardized extracts, amino acids, specialized nutraceuticals, and B-complex vitamins critical for stopping thinning hair and loss for both women and men.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone is considered the major cause of male pattern baldness, and a contributing factor for thinning hair in women.

Nigella sativa and its black seed are known by other names, varying between places. Some call it “black caraway,” “habbat al-barakah,” and “habbat sawda”; others call it “black cumin” (kalounji), or even “coriander seeds.” In English, the Nigella sativa plant is commonly referred to as “black cumin”.

Tiny and hairy, being no more than 3 mm in length, black cumin originates from the common fennel flower plant of the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family.

Findings are identical to those in previous studies by earlier researchers. Studies show that by using black cumin seed oil, valuable unsaturated fatty acids, for example linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids, get into the organism. This allows a synthesis of important immune-regulating substances derived from prostaglandin E1. Linoleic acid stabilizes the cell membranes, and prostaglandin has the effect of inhibiting inflammation. Thus the immune reactions are stopped, causing illnesses and furthermore could be the start of many chronic illnesses like acne and hayfever, right up to cancer. In addition, the excessive T9‑cell activity of the person suffering from allergies is stabilized through the substance found in black cumin seed oil, as are the abnormally rising immune reactions through suppressed antibodies.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLately, scientists around the world have also confirmed the antibacterial and antimycotic effects of black cumin seed oil.

Boron is found in most tissues, but is concentrated in the bones, spleen, and thyroid, indicating boron’s functions in bone metabolism and suggesting a potential role for boron in hormone metabolism. Boron is found in relatively high levels in foods of plant origin, such as black beans, peaches, apricots, spinach, strawberries, apples, cantaloupe, and tomatoes.

There are no studies to suggest that boron supplementation alone will augment testosterone production or promote muscle growth in healthy men. In fact, a number of studies have shown no effect of boron supplements on serum testosterone in either men or women consuming a typical diet.

As part of a balanced multivitamin\/multimineral supplement, boron may have beneficial effects on maintaining adequate calcium and magnesium metabolism for optimal bone health.
