Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals, and converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy.
ALA will be more beneficial for individuals with some of the following conditions:
Diabetes or higher than normal blood sugar levels;
Have high cholesterol levels;
Are affected by cataracts (in early stages);
Cardiovascular problems such as hardening of arteries.
Action:
ALA helps make vitamin C and E work better;
ALA is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals;
It’s easily absorbed either from food eaten or from supplements;
ALA helps increase glutathione which helps with detoxification;
ALA helps protect the lens and retina of your eyes from degeneration, and also helps alleviate glaucoma;
ALA is used to treat and detoxify the liver.
Obviously, the 2 biggest benefits from supplementing ALA is its powerful antioxidant properties, and its ability to help increase Glutathione levels which plays a big role in dissolving toxic substances in the liver.
How Taken
As a dietary supplement, take one to six capsules daily, with or without food.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a fatty acid found naturally inside every cell in the body. It’s needed by the body to produce the energy for our body’s normal functions. Alpha Lipoic Acid converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is also an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals. What makes Alpha Lipoic Acid unique is that it functions in water and fat, unlike the more common antioxidants vitamins C and E, and it appears to be able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that helps the body eliminate potentially harmful substances. Alpha Lipoic Acid increases the formation of glutathione.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of ALA, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Storage
Store ALA at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep ALA out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Warnings Precautions
Seek the advice of a health care professional if you have any medical condition.
Possible Side Effects
ALA has few if any side effects. The recommended daily dose is between 50mg to 100mg, and higher doses can cause nausea and upset stomachs, and excessive doses can even lead to low blood sugar. On the plus side, taking Alpha LA can sometimes lead to a mild and relaxing feeling, and lead to a better feel of well-being.
More Information
Animal studies indicate that ALA may alter thyroid hormone levels, so it could theoretically have the same effect in humans. People taking thyroid medications such as levothyroxine should be monitored by their healthcare provider.

This ensures that Acai retains beneficial antioxidant properties, which serve to promote cellular heal.
Echinacea is popular as an immune stimulant to boost the immune system and help ward off many winter ailments.
How Taken
Taken 3 times daily at the onset of cold or flu symptoms. It works wonders in combination with Goldenseal and Zinc, particularly at the onset of symptoms.
Drug Class and Mechanism
As a broad-spectrum immune system stimulant Echinacea is most used to protect against, & to treat, common colds, flu, & sore throat. A natural antibiotic, echinacea is used to treat infections, to combat low resistance to sickness & to enhance the immune system. Echinacea has also used in the treatment of chronic recurring vaginal yeast infections. Echinacea purpurea, called King of the blood purifiers in some herbal manuscripts, has been traditionally used to help acne, boils and difficult skin conditions.
The ability of Echinacea to stimulate the immune system is extremely well documented. The primary constituent responsible for its activity are large sugar molecules called polysaccharides. Two in particular have been identified as beneficial: inulin and arabinogalactin. These polysaccharides activate the immune system in many ways. Echinacea has been shown to increase production of T cells, increase levels of circulating neutrophils, improve leukocyte phagocytosis, assist antibody binding and natural killer cell activity. Echinacea also has direct antibacterial properties. In general, Echinacea has been thoroughly demonstrated to reduce the duration and severity of common cold and flu symptoms. Echinacea is a herb that deserves its place in our medicine cabinet.

Mebendazole is an “antihelmintic,” or anti-worm, medication. It prevents worms from growing or multiplying in your body.
Mebendazole is used to treat infections caused by worms such as whipworm, pinworm, roundworm, and hookworm. It is also used to treat infections caused by more than one of these worms at the same time.
Mebendazole may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about Vermox (Mebendazole)?
Follow your doctor’s instructions about treatment; about the washing of clothes, linens, and towels; and about household disinfecting. Pinworm infections are easily spread from one person to another.
Mebendazole tablets may be swallowed, chewed, or crushed and mixed with food.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Vermox (Mebendazole)?
Before taking mebendazole, tell your doctor about any other medical conditions that you have.
Mebendazole is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether it will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take mebendazole without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether mebendazole passes into breast milk and how it might affect a nursing baby. Do not take mebendazole without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Children younger than 2 years of age should not take mebendazole unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
How should I take Vermox (Mebendazole)?
Take mebendazole exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
Take each dose with a full glass of water.
Mebendazole tablets may be swallowed, chewed, or crushed and mixed with food.
Take all of the mebendazole that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated.
It may be up to 3 days after treatment before the worm is removed from your stomach and intestines. The amount of time it takes to cure the infection depends on how susceptible the worm is to mebendazole, and how quickly your own digestive system is moving. If the infection has not been cured within 3 weeks, a second treatment may be necessary.
Fasting, laxatives, and purging will not help cure this infection.
Treatment of family members and other close contacts may be necessary. Pinworm is spread very easily to others in close contact with the infected person.
To prevent reinfection, toilets must be disinfected daily, and clothing, linens, towels, and pajamas must be changed and washed daily.
Store mebendazole at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the dose you missed and take only the next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected.
Symptoms of a mebendazole overdose include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Vermox (Mebendazole) side effects
Stop taking mebendazole and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; shortness of breath; closing of your throat; or hives).
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take mebendazole and talk to your doctor if you experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, or a fever.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
What other drugs will affect Vermox (Mebendazole)?
Medicines used to treat seizures, such as phenytoin (Dilantin), ethotoin (Peganone), mephenytoin (Mesantoin), and carbamazepine (Tegretol), may decrease the effects of mebendazole. Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these medications so that your therapy can be monitored.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with mebendazole. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.
Extreme Thyrocin is a synergistic combination of seven proven ingredients to support healthy thyroid function.
How Taken
As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the afternoon between meals.
Drug Class and Mechanism
The Thyroid gland is the primary metabolic regulator in our body. The Thyroid gland produces T4 and T3 with T4 being converted into T3 in the tissue. The amount of T4 which is produced, released, and subsequently converted into T3 is the critical factor in determining the amount of metabolic activity in the body.
T3 is responsible for increasing metabolic activity in virtually all tissues in the body, increasing the number of mitochondria, increasing protein synthesis, stimulating carbohydrate metabolism, accelerating fat metabolism, decreasing cholesterol levels.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of Extreme Thyrocin, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
