Women’s Complete is the New Frontier in Multivitamins uniquely formulated for women of all ages, from menstruation, conception and pregnancy through menopause. This new women’s wellness complex is a high-quality multivitamin-mineral supplement that includes bioavailable ingredients in nutritionally meaningful amounts. Women’s Complete contains activated vitamins, chelated minerals and the best form of specialty ingredients including DMG, inositol and super foods, along with a unique, proprietary probiotic complex. This formula was created to enhance all facets of women’s health, including heart, reproductive, GI and musculoskeletal health as well as skin, hair and nail care. Comprised of Patented, Researched and Trademarked ingredients, Women’s Complete is an easy to swallow vegetarian capsule that is also easy for your body to absorb.

Vitamin Blends and Patented Researched Trademarked Ingredients (PRT) Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin is used for the Women’s Complete formulation. Many companies use cyanocobalamin, a form of B12 that is cheaper and not as well utilized by the body.

Furthermore, Women’s Complete contains the reputable Gnosis folate derivative, Quatrefolic® that provides 800 mcg of folate. Quatrefolic® is more quickly absorbed compared to other forms of folic acid. Folic acid is synthetic whereas folate, also called 5-MTHF or 5-methylfolate, is the natural form that is more easily utilized by the body. Folate is well absorbed even when gastrointestinal pH is altered, and folate’s bioavailability is not affected by metabolic defects. Since research suggests that up to 30% of the population cannot metabolize un-methylated forms of synthetic folic acid, Quatrefolic® is vital for a significant portion of the population. Folate works together with vitamin B-12 to support normal production of important, mood-regulating neurotransmitters. Furthermore, methylated folate is essential for converting homocysteine to methionine, a process that protects cardiovascular health.

Naturally fermented vitaMK7® can assure that the body will profit from calcium (naturally absorbed and/or supplemented) by driving it to where it is needed. VitaMK7® may have a crucial role in bone tissue homeostasis at 45 μg/daily, improving bone mineral density (BMD), activating bone formation by stimulating osteoblastic cells and reducing calcium concentration into blood.

In their ordinary form, minerals are difficult for the body to absorb through the intestine. Albion™ and TRAACS™ mineral blend which produces low molecular weight mineral compounds. These minerals are bound to amino acids to produce natural organic chelates that can pass easily through the intestinal wall. Calcium/Magnesium is utilized in a desired 2:1 ratio utilizing the best forms of chelated Minerals.

Ferrochel™ Iron, or Ferrous Bis-Glycinate Chelate Iron is an important blood building nutrient for a baby as well as for the mother. An iron deficiency means that new blood cells will be unable to transport enough levels of oxygen to the fetus.

Vitacholine™ Choline is critical to prenatal cognitive development and lifelong memory.

Women’s Complete combines specialty ingredients to benefit women’s wellness. DMG is used to support methylation and neurotransmitter production, healthy immune cells, DNA production, estrogen levels histamine, and fat metabolism, detoxification, cellular energy and gene expression.

Inositol is included as it may be beneficial for improving the function of the ovaries and fertility in women, even those suffering with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Research has found that inositol supplements may improve menstrual cycle regularity, ovulation and pregnancy rates.

Boron seems to affect the way the body handles other minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. It also seems to improve estrogen levels in older (post-menopausal) women. Estrogen is thought to be helpful in maintaining healthy bones and mental function.

A Super Probiotic Blend containing Lactospore® Lactobacillus rhamnosus is utilized in Women’s Complete. Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a probiotic species that has been shown to provide key immune and digestive support to both mother and baby and Lactospore®, the only spore-forming probiotic, has been useful in the treatment of recurring diarrhea caused by the toxin produced by Clostridium difficile. Lactobacilli have also been successfully used as adjuvants in the treatment of fungal and protozoal vaginitis and in the treatment of non-specific bacterial vaginitis.

Use of an organic proprietary Super Food Blend is what makes antioxidant defense an important component of the Women’s Complete supplement. The high ORAC Whole Food Complex is comprised of a proprietary blend of cranberry, broccoli, garlic, grape seed extract, wheat grass, apple pectin, celery seed, chlorella, papaya, and spirulina. The term “SuperFoods” was originally used by NASA in the 1960's. NASA was looking for the most nutrient dense foods on the planet to help keep Astronauts nourished in space while adding the least amount of weight. After a tremendous amount of research, they found the 2 most nutrient dense foods on the planet are Spirulina and Chlorella.

A vegetarian formula of herbal adaptogens to provide basic support for adrenal function.

AdrenaMax by Nutritional Frontiers promotes resilience to stress by supporting the function of the adrenal glands. The herbs in Adrenamax have traditionally been used to help with both hyper-function and hypo-function of the adrenal glands, hence they are classified as ‘adaptogens.

• Cordyceps Mycelium Extract is a medicinal mushroom popular in China and Tibet. Herbalists recommend cordyceps to improve energy, sexual function, athletic performance, and immune function.
• Panax ginseng is also called Chinese ginseng or Asian ginseng, and has been in use since at least the 1st century C.E. Its many constituents, such as ginsenosides and panaxans, contribute to systemic effects such as supporting immune function, lowering blood sugar, improving libido and erectile dysfunction, increasing sperm count, and enhancing physical and intellectual performance.
• Eleutherococcus senticosus has a variety of applications in the body, such as improving attention, mood, and stress tolerance. People who are debilitated from cancer, chemotherapy, cardiovascular disease, or other chronic health conditions may benefit from this root. Also known as Siberian ginseng, this has been used by herbalists from many countries for at least 2000 years. Eleuthero is stimulating and warming.
• Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root is native to Sri Lanka, India, Africa, and Pakistan. A relaxing adaptogen and tonic, this plant is useful for ‘building up’ people who are debilitated from long term stress. Ashwagandha helps in both acute and chronic stress conditions as well as those struggling with insomnia, inflammatory diseases, and anxiety.
• Rhodiola rosea root has been used in Siberia, other parts of the former Soviet Union, Scandinavia, Germany, and other European countries as an adrenal adaptogen with actions similar to Siberian ginseng. Rhodiola may help endurance, cognitive function, immune function, weight management, athletic performance, and energy levels.
• Glycyrrhiza glabra is commonly known as licorice, a plant with a variety of actions in the body. Glycyrrhiza assists with recovery from long term stress by increasing the half life of cortisol. Licorice blocks leukotrienes and therefore possesses anti-inflammatory capabilities. Glycyrrhiza is often used as a demulcent to heal the digestive tract and as an anti-viral and antioxidant. Those with high blood pressure must use caution when ingesting licorice, as it may worsen hypertension in some people.

Thyro Complete is a dietary supplement to support healthy thyroid function and physiology.*

Thyro Complete:

A thyroid glandular formulation that blends hypothalamus, pituitary and thyroxine-free thyroid glandular tissue with the most clinically significant nutrients and branded, clinically supported extracts of ashwagandha and forskohlli for optimal thyroid health.*

Glandular Tissue:

Glandular tissue, when applied to support a specific organ, can provide balance for multiple factors, including nucleic acids and organ-specific enzymes, which help promote the growth and maintenance of organs and glands.*

This formula contains glandular tissue that relates directly to the thyroid and higher level glands which dictate the function and activity of the thyroid gland, including the pituitary and hypothalamus.

Minerals:

Iodine (Thorvin™) is a deep water exclusive Icelandic kelp, Thorvin’s Laminaria digitata is higher in total nutrients, particularly iodine, potassium, and specific amino acids. A highly bioavailable form, Thorvin’s Asco Iodine content averages 780 parts per million (ppm), the highest on the market.

Zinc (TRACCS™) is essential for the conversion of T4 to T3 and also lends itself to the integrity and functionality of the T3 receptor itself.

Selenium (Albion™) is required for thyroid hormone production, activation and metabolism. It is an essential component of deiodinase enzymes which convert T4 to T3.

Copper (TRACCS™) plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormone and also acts as an antagonist to Zinc, helping to promote a balanced mineral profile.*

Amino Acid:
L-Tyrosine is a building block for the production of thyroid hormone. Thyroxine is a tyrosine-based hormone, which is also comprised of iodine.

Herbal extracts:

Sensoril® Ashwagandha: Recent studies have indicated that in addition to the support provided by Sensoril® for healthy cortisol levels (which will in turn support a healthy level of T3 hormone) it may also support T4 production directly. (1)

Coleus Forskohlii (ForsLean® Brand) Extract: Supports thyroid function directly and also supports lean body mass through ergogenic activity.* It stimulates AMP (adenosine monophosphate), which then stimulates metabolism for greater fat burning.*

This formula is designed to support the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, with the potential to improve problems with sleep and anxiety.*

Neurotransmitters are natural messengers in the nervous system that send signals from one nerve cell across a synapse to another nerve cell or target organ. Serotonin plays a role in sleep, mood, intestinal function, pain control, and inflammation. Dopamine plays a role in cognitive function, memory, learning, and pleasure. In our bodies, dopamine is released as a result of rewarding experiences. Certain nutrients and amino acids may help to balance levels of neurotransmitters by providing co-factors that assist in the body’s ability to manufacture neurotransmitters.*

About the Ingredients Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. Neurotransmitters function as chemical messengers. GABA is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it blocks, or inhibits, certain brain signals and decreases activity in your nervous system. When GABA attaches to a protein in your brain known as a GABA receptor, it produces a calming effect. This can help with feelings of anxiety, stress, and fear. It may also help to prevent seizures. As a result of these properties, GABA has also become a popular supplement in recent years. This is partly because it isn’t available from many food sources.

L-Taurine- is an essential amino acid and a GABA-receptor agonist, meaning it produces a GABA-like effect in the body. GABA is a sedating, inhibitory neurotransmitter. In animal studies, application of taurine with GABA, or taurine with glycine produced stronger effects than taking either glycine or GABA alone. Taurine is used to enhance sleep quality.

L-Glycine- is a non-essential amino acid. It has been used to protect brain cells after ischemic stroke. Glycine is also thought to promote a sense of well-being and reduce anxiety. Research has shown that glycine can subjectively and objectively improve sleep quality. In a study where people’s sleep was restricted, glycine also reduced daytime sleepiness.

Vitamin B-5 (as d-calcium pantothenate- is a water-soluble B vitamin with numerous biological roles. Vitamin B-5 is used by the body to manufacture, among other things, coenzyme A which is an important compound for energy metabolism and the production of fatty acids, cholesterol, and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. D-Calcium pantothenate the preferred, metabolically active form of B-5 used in higher quality nutritional supplements.

Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxal 5-phosphate)- is a water-soluble B vitamin that performs many functions in the body, including as a co-factor in several reactions of amino acid metabolism. Specifically, B-6 – dependent enzymes assist in the biosynthesis of the important neurotransmitters GABA, dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Pyridoxal 5-phosphate is the preferred, metabolically active form of B-6 used in higher quality nutritional supplements.

Suntheanine® (L-Theanine) stimulates activity in the brain known as alpha waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental state. Human clinical trials have shown Suntheanine® to promote an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness, as indicated by an increase in Alpha brain waves, and a decrease in Beta brain waves. Suntheanine® is protected by over 40 U.S. and international patents for its various physiological efficacies and L-isomer specific production processes.

Estrocleanse III is a unique antioxidant formulation designed to enhance detoxification and promote hormone balance in both men and women.

The sex hormones include estrogen (which includes several types), progesterone, and testosterone. Certain types of estrogen are considered to be more beneficial than other types, and healthy metabolism of estrogen is associated with fewer health risks. Estrogen is produced in both women and men, and inadequate estrogen metabolism is associated with hormonal imbalance in both sexes. I3C and DIM can improve estrogen metabolism. I3C is known to improve the ratio of estrogen types.

Benefits:

Calcium D-Glucarate glucaric acid is found in our bodies as well as in fruits and vegetables such as oranges, apples, brussel sprouts, broccoli, and cabbage. Calcium D-glucarate might lower estrogen levels, and this is thought to be helpful in supporting some people with hormone deficiencies.

CurcuWIN™ Turmeric Extract is derived from the spice turmeric. It scavenges free radicals and also may have an indirect antioxidant effect by stimulating the synthesis of glutathione. CurcuWIN™ also has the reputation of being antiinflammatory and protective of the digestive tract. Many in vitro studies show that curcumin may support immune function.

Green tea (and its active polyphenolic component EGCG) is derived from the same plant as black and oolong teas: Camellia sinensis. Green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented after being picked therefore the active components of the herb remain unchanged. Green tea is an antioxidant, stimulates detoxification, improves the lipid profiles, and has immune-stimulating effects.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound most associated with grapes, red grape juice, and red wine. It is also said to improve cardiovascular health and improve blood flow to the brain.

DIM is a plant-derived compound that enhances estrogen metabolism causing a beneficial shift in the balance of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone in men and women. Hormone balance is necessary for prostate, ovarian, uterine, cervical, and breast health.

Indole 3 carbinol (I3C) is a phytochemical found naturally in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and kale. I3C is closely related to DIM, as I3C is transformed by the action of stomach acid into DIM. I3C and DIM increase the activity of certain liver enzymes which can help to eliminate toxins and carcinogens.

i-Sabi™ is a natural dietary ingredient made from the rhizomes of pure Wasabia japonica. i-Sabi™ provides a full spectrum of ITCs that supports your immune system, detoxifies and maintains healthy liver function, and provides strong antioxidant activity for cellular health.

Tocotrienols are members of the vitamin E family of nutrients. Tocotrienols possess antioxidant properties against lipid peroxidation. Therefore they are used in the prevention of atherosclerosis and maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.

Bioperine® (black pepper fruit extract) is thought to enhance the absorption of other nutrients, like curcumin, into the bloodstream. Some studies have shown that Bioperine can increase Curcumin absorption by over 30%.
