Broccoli sprouts when produced according to proprietary technology are a highly-concentrated source of broccoli phytonutrients.The benefits of broccoli in the human diet are well-known, with young broccoli sprouts delivering 20-50 times more of these beneficial phytonutrients than the mature vegetable head. Because Broccolox® is so concentrated, just 1-3 capsules twice daily is typically all that is required to deliver an optimal dose of broccoli phytonutrients. Ongoing research by scientists has resulted in a unique process which retains both the bioactive precursors and the associated natural enzymes, a process which is carefully-monitored throughout every stage of production. The specialised drying process retains maximal activity of the bioactive broccoli compounds, including associated enzymes which are typically destroyed by excessive heat, moisture or other inappropriate processing. Broccolox• is comprised of 100% whole sprouts, grown hydroponically without any herbicides, pesticides or other harmful chemicals. Broccolox• capsules contain 100% Whole, Enzyme-Active Broccoli Sprout Powder with NO ADDITIVES of any kind.

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a premier antioxidant, antitoxin, and immune support nutrient. NAC is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, and is a dietary precursor to reduced glutathione. Glutathione, cysteine, and NAC are sulphydryl (-SH) substances, which play crucial roles in the body’s natural antioxidant defences.
Antioxidant activity is important to homeostasis and to normal metabolism. NAC has superior bioavailability compared to glutathione and cysteine. As potent antioxidant free radical scavengers, the natural sulphydryl (-SH) substances can readily donate electrons, which makes them able to combine with, and thereby neutralise, a great variety of potentially toxic, reactive substances.
These -SH substances can also help protect against radiation damage, which is largely mediated by free radical formation. They are important physiological antitoxins, and are valuable for optimal immune function
As a precursor to glutathione (GSH), NAC is an excellent biochemical resource for aiding detoxification of environmental toxins (xenobiotics). It may contribute by supporting the mercury, lead and cadmium clearance from the body, NAC may help to buffer these heavy metals.
Reduced glutathione has long been recognised to play an essential role in immune function, especially via its antioxidant/reducing properties.
GSH may contribute to lower mucus viscosity, so that the lungs may be cleared more easily.
GSH levels in the various organs can decline with age, and NAC may contribute to the amelioration of GSH deficiencies related to aging.
Oral supplementation with glutathione appears not to be the best means for repleting the body’s glutathione levels, since it is largely broken down by intestinal enzymes and comparatively little is absorbed intact. NAC, on the other hand, appears to be an excellent dietary starting substance for building up reduced glutathione.
NAC is well tolerated and well absorbed, and is also more stable than its non-acetylated relative L-cysteine, which has a tendency to “auto-oxidise” (break down spontaneously within the gut and body).

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® from Biotics Research Corporation supplies 2,000 IU per drop of vitamin D3 as a micro-emulsion for enhanced absorption and utilisation, which is particularly important for those with malabsorption conditions. Clinical use of Biotics’ micro-emulsified vitamin D provides significant improvements in serum levels of 25-OH-vitamin D following supplementation. Bio-D-Mulsion Forte™ is an oil-in-water emulsion liquid. Vitamin D oil has been dispersed into microscopic particles to aid absorption and assimilation. There are 750 drops per small bottle (1 fl oz) which offers tremendous value for money for a highly absorbed form of this vital nutrient.
Much research has been undertaken on understanding the role of vitamin D within the body over the past 5 or so years. Its benefits are numerous and deficiency is widespread and its safety profile is extremely high. While the importance of vitamin D for musculoskeletal health is well documented, its importance in numerous other aspects of health are now recognized. They include (but are not limited to) cardiovascular health and immune function.
Therefore the argument to take additional amounts of vitamin D in supplement form is strongly compelling.

Doctor's Best Curcumin C3 Complex is a potent antioxidant that protects cells and tissues by fighting free radicals. It is also proven to support healthy joint function. Curcumin C3 Complex contains a standardized extract of Curcuma longa root and supplies 95% total curcuminoids, including curcumin, bisdemethoxy curcumin and demethoxy curcumin. As curcumin is difficult to absorb we add, BioPerine, an extract of Black Pepper fruit that contains 95-98% piperine, as a natural bioenhancer.
How does it work? Extensive research over the past quarter-century suggests that curcumin can help counter toxins and influence cell survival through other means. Due to the potent radical-scavenging activity of the curcumins, cultured human skin cells subjected to free radical attack fared better when curcumin or a mixture of the three major curcumins was administered. Furthermore, the three curcumins combined had a greater effect than an equal amount of curcumin, which has led some scientists to claim a synergistic effect from the combination.
Why should I take Doctor's Best Curcumin C3 Complex? The numerous beneficial effects attributed to turmeric root are related to the antioxidant properties of the curcumins it contains. This antioxidant activity can neutralize free radicals that threaten the integrity of cellular structures. Free radicals can cause "oxidative stress," a process that can trigger cell damage. And oxidative stress is thought to play a role in a variety of diseases. Curcumin C3 Complex has over 50 scientific studies to validate its effectiveness.

Nucleotides are essential to the foundation of good health through good nutrition and provide the key to many biological processes. Nucleotides are primarily known as the building blocks of DNA and RNA.
They are needed by all of the cells in the human body during periods of regeneration, growth and repair. Additionally, nucleotides provide a cellular energy source, they mediate cellular signalling, help to regulate certain enzymes, along with a host of other functions.
Dietary nucleotides: Some cells regenerate faster than others, such as immune cells and the cells of the gastrointestinal system, and the raised nucleotide demand cannot be met by the body’s own nucleotide production. In this case, the body must rely on nucleotides derived from the diet.
Dietary deficiencies: Since our modern diet is largely devoid of nucleotide-rich foods, such as offal, nucleotides deficiencies occur, particularly during periods of growth, repair, methylation dysfunctions, and following gastrointestinal injury or infection.
Health issues: Research shows that dietary deficiencies in nucleotides, particularly pyrimidines, have a significant impact on immune and gastrointestinal function, resulting in a variety of health issues.

Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing fatty acid that performs vitamin-like roles in the body but since the body produces lipoic-acid on its own, it is not classified as a true vitamin. It functions as a co-enzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates and is required for synthesis of acetyl CoA, a key metabolite in the cellular process that turns glucose (blood sugar) into energy.* Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid contains BioEnhanced® Na-RLA, the sodium salt of R-Lipoic acid. Pure R-Lipoic acid is a very unstable molecule that has a tendency to polymerize with exposure to heat, light, and moisture. BioEnhanced® Na-RLA is a stabilized form of R-Lipoic acid that won’t degrade at high temperatures.
How does it work? Lipoic acid is a key factor in the cellular process that metabolizes glucose for energy production. Aging is accompanied by a decreased ability of the liver to recycle ascorbic acid following oxidative stress. R-lipoic acid, has been shown after two weeks of supplementation to aged rats, to reverse the age-related impairment of ascorbic acid recycling and concentration in liver cells. Aging is also associated with oxidative stress in the brain. The brain's high rate of metabolism and its long-lived neurons make it particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Since lipoic-acid interrupts cellular oxidative processes in both its oxidized and reduced forms, it plays a modulatory role in the brain and nervous system.
Why should I take Doctor’s Best Stabilized R-Lipoic-Acid? An ideal antioxidant would have the ability to quench a wide variety of free radicals, to support the functioning of other antioxidants, to bind or “chelate” metal ions that can generate free radicals, to function in watery and fatty environments and to be present in a variety of tissues, cells, and extracellular spaces. Lipoic-acid meets all of these criteria and is often termed as “the universal antioxidant.” As we age, our ability to synthesize alpha-lipoic acid decreases. Age also brings an accumulation of oxidized proteins that interfere with mitochondrial efficiency and Alpha-lipoic acid addresses this situation. Alpha-lipoic acid comes in two forms, designated as “R-lipoic acid” and “S-lipoic acid.” R- and S- lipoic acid are enantiomer isomers––molecules that appear as mirror images of each other. R-lipoic acid is naturally synthesized by humans, animals, and plants

Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral that is required for optimal function of the cardiovascular system, nervous system, skeletal muscle, digestive tract, and uterus. Seventy-five percent of Americans are deficient in magnesium. Inadequate magnesium affects the heart, blood vessels, bones and blood sugar balance. Magnesium deficiency increases with age because of inadequate intake from the diet, poor absorption and certain drugs known to deplete magnesium.
How does it work? Magnesium ions have a positive electrical charge and thus functions as a mineral electrolyte which affects the amount of water in the body, the acidity of blood (pH), muscle function, and other important processes. Magnesium works as a co-factor for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body including all the reactions involving ATP, important for energy production and muscle contraction and relaxation. The magnesium glycinate/lysinate in High Absorption Magnesium with TRACCS® 100% Chelated is a genuine dipeptide chelate. Compared to other chelates, dipeptides have the ideal chemical attributes for optimum chelation and absorption.
Why should I take High Absorption Magnesium with TRAACS® 100% Chelated? Doctor’s Best uses a patented, organic, chelated delivery form of magnesium that is 100% chelated to optimize bioavailability. Doctor’s Best High Absorption Magnesium is not buffered, meaning that is it not mixed with less expensive and less absorbable magnesium oxide
Inadequate magnesium negatively affects not only the heart, blood vessels, and bones, but may also impact blood sugar balance.* Research has shown a link between magnesium and healthy blood pressure. A decrease in bone mineral density is associated with lower blood magnesium levels
