7 Keto DHEA
As seen on the Dr. Oz show February 20, 2012!
7 Keto (a trade name for 3-acetyl-7oxo dehydroepiandrosterone or 7-oxo-DHEA) is a substance found naturally in the body and is primarily produced by the adrenal glands. 7 Keto is metabolized from DHEA and similar to DHEA, 7 Keto levels have been known to decline with advancing age. However, unlike DHEA 7 Keto does not convert to Estrogen or Testosterone. This lack of conversion with 7 Keto may be beneficial since overproduction of these two hormones can lead to unwanted side effects.

Glycemic Foundation
Glycemic Foundation contains a unique blend of ingredients including flaxseed flour, guar gum and Oryzatein, a healthy brown rice protein that help support healthy blood sugar levels. Glycemic Foundation is an easy to mix drink with a delightful chocolate flavor that helps the body maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Key ingredients:
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Believed to be one of the cell's most versatile and important antioxidants, Alpha Lipoic Acid works to help detoxify free radicals that are generated when cells are under stress. Alpha Lipoic Acid, when combined with other vitamins and minerals, works maximally to support immune, hepatic, and nervous systems, and also recharges Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Glutathione— other key antioxidants in the body.
Vanadyl Sulfate
Functioning much like chromium, research has revealed that vanadyl sulfate acts to help cells activate transport proteins for glucose uptake. Scientific quantities of vanadyl sulfate have shown significant benefits for individuals in controlled studies. In some people, these benefits were sustained for as long as 2 weeks after discontinuation of vanadyl sulfate.
Chromium
Chromium facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells, working naturally with the body’s own insulin. Most multivitamins provide 200 mcg of chromium, but additional chromium may be needed for those wanting to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Chromium Picolinate
Chromium is important for fat metabolism, enzyme activation, and the regulation of cholesterol. Chromium inhibits the synthesis of new fat from carbohydrates, thus freeing the mitochondria to burn already stored fat. In addition, chromium increases the effectiveness of insulin and optimizes glucose metabolism.

Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid is one of the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered. It is a vitamin-like sulfur-containing compound that is synthesized naturally in the human body. Sometimes it is referred to as alpha-lipoate, thioctic acid, or just lipoic acid. One of its most important characteristics is that it is both fat-soluble and water-soluble. This enables it to provide antioxidant protection in a much wider range of physiological environments throughout the body, which has resulted in some scientists referring to alpha-lipoic acid as the "universal" antioxidant. In the body, alpha-lipoic acid is converted to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), which also functions as a strong antioxidant. Lipoic acid is part of two enzyme systems: PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase) and alphaketoglutarate dehydrogenase. These enzymes are part of the Krebs cycle and are essential in the production of energy.
Functions in the Body
Energy Production - Functions as a co-enzyme cofactor in the pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase mitochondrial enzyme complexes in the production of energy.(1)
Heavy Metal Detoxification - Lipoic acid reduces the toxicity from toxic metals such as mercury,(2) cadmium,(3) and lead.(4) It is also able to form stable complexes with copper, manganese, and zinc ions.(5)
Recycling of other Antioxidants - Able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, and coenzyme Q10.(6,7,8,9)
Regulation of Blood Glucose - Increases glucose uptake into muscle cells.(10)
Universal Antioxidant - Because it is able to function in both fat- and water-soluble environments throughout the human body, lipoic acid has been called the “universal” antioxidant.(11,12)

Green Tea 600
Green Tea comes from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, which is an excellent source of potent polyphenols (bioflavonoids with powerful antioxidant properties). The four primary polyphenols in Green Tea are epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin, and epigallocatechin-3- gallate (EGCG). Research has identified EGCG as the most active agent in Green Tea.
EGCG is an important nutrient that supports:
