BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough $34.95
BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough Oxygen Based Digestive Cleanse Support Best magnesium supplements for sleep Reduce your stress levels and feel relaxed Sleep faster and deeper Boost your immune system Maintain normal heart rhythm Build strong bones Why Magnesium Breakthrough: Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for all aspects of health. It participates in over 600 different biochemical reactions[1] in your body. Yet, over 80% of the population don’t get the minimum amounts of the types of magnesium they need from diet alone because US soil is lacks it. Magnesium deficiency can increase all disease risks and keep you from performing optimally. Even people who supplement tend to take types that are poorly absorbed, or they only take two types of magnesium at most. Each type benefits different tissues and organ systems. If you’re only taking one or two forms, you’re most likely still deficient. BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough is the only supplement on the market that to offer the full spectrum of all seven types of magnesium specially formulated to reach every tissue in your body to provide maximum health benefits and reverses low levels which could be causing health issues. Magnesium and Anxiety Magnesium is extremely important for mental and neurological health. Studies have shown that magnesium deficiency[26] causes animals to be stressed and anxious. In humans, a low-magnesium diet is associated with anxiety and depression[27]. You need magnesium to deal with stress. Stress[28] causes you to excrete more magnesium through urine[29] Therefore, being deficient can create anxiety. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to promote a healthy stress response and reduce neurotransmitters that cause anxiety. It also promotes relaxation by increasing GABA,[30] the calming neurotransmitter. In a randomized controlled trial of mildly anxious subjects, magnesium + vitamin B6 significantly reduced stress scores[31] compared to the placebo. Magnesium supplements have also been shown to help improve mental health[32] in women with premenstrual syndrome and postpartum anxiety. To boost mood, reduce anxiety, and promote a healthy stress response, it is best to use a combination of forms of magnesium combined with vitamin B6.[33] Studies have confirmed that magnesium with organic acid salt (e.g. citrate and malate) or amino acids (e.g. taurate, glycinate, and sucrosomial)[34] are significantly better absorbed than inorganic salts (oxide, chloride, and sulfate).[35] Also, these different forms are absorbed into different tissues, with taurate, malate, and citrate being the most beneficial for the nervous system[36] BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough contains the full spectrum of all seven forms of the most bioavailable magnesium along with vitamin B6 to support mental health and promote a healthy stress response. Ingredients Vitamin B6 and all 7 major forms of Magnesium: Glycinate, Taurate, Orotate, Sucrosomial, Citrate, Chelate, Malate. Suggested Use When you take magnesium in the morning, it supports brain function and stress response throughout the day. In the evening, high doses of magnesium promote relaxation and may help with sleep. Therefore, it is best to divide your magnesium supplement doses throughout the day. If that is not possible, take whenever you can. It is better to take mineral supplements, such as magnesium, on an empty stomach because you will absorb it more efficiently. However, some people experience upset stomach, so they take it with food. Studies of inorganic magnesium salts (oxide, chloride, and sulfate) found that stomach acid is necessary for magnesium absorption, so they need to be taken on an empty stomach. However, organic magnesium salts (citrate, glycinate, chelate, etc) are more readily absorbed even when taken with food. Our bodies don’t store magnesium well. It is generally excreted from your system within 24 hours of intake. Therefore, it is important to take magnesium every day. PRECAUTIONSKeep out of reach of children. As with any product, discontinue immediately if adverse effects occur. Please consult a physician before beginning any new supplement, diet, training program, or if you are undergoing treatment of a medical condition. Why Getting ALL 7 Forms of Magnesium Transforms Your Stress & Performance One of the biggest misconceptions about magnesium is that you just “need more” of it and you’ll be healthy and optimized. But the TRUTH is, there are many different types of magnesium — and each plays a critical role in different functions in your body. Most “healthy” people only get 1-2 forms at best (much of the population is deficient in all forms) — but when you get all 7 major forms of magnesium, that’s when the magic happens.

BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough Drink $33.99
8 Forms of Magnesium in One Tasty Drink! Promotes healthier, faster, deeper sleep Promotes a balanced stress response to feeling relaxed and at peace A key nutrient for healthy immune responses Provides an essential electrolyte to maintain a healthy rhythm Provides a key building block to strong bones Contains 8 different forms of magnesium Organic natural flavors and colors Sweetened with Katemfe fruit extract: a protein that is 3000 times sweeter than sucrose (does not spike glucose when metabolized) Vegan Friendly Magnesium Benefits: 🍃 Promotes Heart Health  Magnesium is extremely important for heart health and blood vessel health. Magnesium deficiency seems to worsen the inflammation, blood vessel constriction, blood clotting, and stress responses that trigger heart conditions. Correcting deficiency appears to improve heart health and reduce the risk of death, although it is unclear whether supplementation alone is sufficient to treat these conditions. 🍃 Improves the Ability to Deal With Stress and Helps to Relax A magnesium supplement significantly reduces stress in people who are deficient in magnesium. Also, combined with vitamin B6 was 40% more helpful than alone in very stressful situations. Findings support the need for magnesium supplementation for people living in conditions of chronic stress. 🍃 Helps With Mood, Cognitive Function, and Mental Health A magnesium supplement significantly improved mood after 2 weeks. Another trial found that magnesium supplements improved mood in seniors. 🍃 Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar Hormone Function And Promotes Healthy Metabolism Magnesium is important for hormones that regulate blood sugar to function well. Therefore, many people with blood sugar issues and metabolic syndrome are deficient in magnesium. Even when the blood sugar is well-controlled, a supplement would still be necessary to achieve healthy levels. In a clinical trial involving 65 diabetes patients, magnesium supplementation promotes healthy function and metabolism.A large-scale systematic and dose-response analysis found that magnesium supplementation correlated with reduced body weight and waist circumference among specific groups of people. Participants seemed to weigh less and had smaller waist circumference if they took magnesium supplements.Magnesium on its own doesn’t cure blood sugar problems or cause weight loss, but it can be highly beneficial in combination with diet and exercise. 🍃 Supports Exercise Performance and Recovery Magnesium supplementation improves speed and strength, possibly by making glucose metabolism more efficient. It also supports healthy stress response to exercise, counteracts excessive muscle damage, and improves exercise recovery (400 mg/day, taken at breakfast). 🍃 Improves Sleep Quality In a small clinical trial involving 46 elderly subjects with sleep struggles, 500 mg of daily magnesium supplement improved sleep quality, sleep latency, and cortisol. Subjects also had more serum melatonin, slept deeper, and were less likely to wake up in the middle of the night. 🍃 Builds Stronger Bones Magnesium is a key building block of your bones. Magnesium deficiency can contribute to osteoporosis by: preventing healthy bone formation, creating brittle bones causing low-grade inflammation increasing cortisol, which can contribute to bone loss reducing parathyroid hormone In a clinical trial involving 73,684 postmenopausal women, low magnesium intake was associated with lower bone density in the hip and whole body. Magnesium intake slightly higher than the Recommended Dietary Allowance was associated with lower arm and wrist fractures from falling.While magnesium is essential for bone health, magnesium supplements alone may not cure osteoporosis or osteopenia. Please speak to your doctor for diagnosis and treatments. 🍃 Promotes Healthy Blood Pressure A meta-analysis of 34 randomized control trials found that magnesium reduced blood pressure. However, the effect size is clinically small (<2 mmHg). Therefore, it may be good for supporting overall health and healthy blood pressure, but you may also need other interventions to achieve healthy blood pressure levels. 🍃 Promotes a Balanced and Healthy Immune System Magnesium deficiency contributes to increased inflammation and weak immune responses. In a meta-analysis involving 32,198 people, those with more magnesium had less serum C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation).Overall, magnesium deficiencies tend to exacerbate or increase the risk of conditions that involve chronic inflammation. 🍃 Supports Vitamin D Activation and Metabolism Both Vitamin D and magnesium have important roles in bone health, immune function, and metabolism. Magnesium is a cofactor in vitamin D conversion and activation. Some people cannot increase their blood 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels despite supplementing with vitamin D3 because they are deficient in magnesium. In other words, magnesium deficiency can make vitamin D less effective.Also, in people deficient in magnesium, high doses of vitamin D3 could worsen magnesium deficiency and increase the potential for side effects of excessive vitamin D3, such as having calcium deposits in the arteries.  30 servings.  
BIOptimizers Sleep Breakthrough $49.94
Sleep Breakthrough is the first ever, fully optimized, delicious sleep drink designed to help you: Fall asleep in minutes Experience deep, high-quality sleep like never before Feel refreshed and energized every morning PLUS if there is any disturbance in the middle of the night (i.e. getting up to go to the bathroom), you will be able to fall right back to sleep. Sleep Breakthrough also allows you to wake up in the morning without that foggy brain feeling that you didn’t sleep enough. And those two factors together are a big differentiating factor in success. When you have great sleep, you make better decisions. You have the ability to laterally feel what's going on. You have a lot more intuitiveness because you're not fighting all of this chemical buildup that's been happening overnight. When you get good sleep, you feel like a rock star the next day and your performance is so much higher than it would be otherwise that you don't really need an outside stimulant. Benefits of BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough 1. Increases your desire to go back to sleep If you’re a night owl, then you can probably stay up all night really easily and be energized. And a lot of the time, the struggle is just even wanting to go to bed.
This sleep blend makes you want to go to bed. If you don't go to bed, you'll pass out on the couch.
 And when your head hits the pillow, you’ll pass out almost instantly. 2. Helps you sleep through the night Deep sleep produces growth hormones in your body. It's where the prolactin cycle happens. It’s when your fat-burning and muscle-building hormones are produced. And it's a critical factor for a lot of the rejuvenation that happens in your body.
 If you're not getting deep sleep, you'll age faster and your performance will tank and you’ll probably live a shorter life.
 Then we have REM sleep which is critical as well. So you need great deep sleep, and great REM in order to be your best self on a daily basis.
 3. Wake up feeling refreshed and energized We as humans want to perform exceptionally and produce the best outcomes in our professional and personal lives. That’s what refreshing wakefulness creates. And it’s impossible to experience strong wakefulness without quality sleep.
Great sleep optimizes your body and brain. It gives you the foundation to have the best days ever both professionally and personally. How Sleep Breakthrough Works Most over-the-counter melatonin products will actually cause you to overdose on melatonin. Overdosing on melatonin is SUPER DANGEROUS. Melatonin may work for a night or two, but then you need more of it… And then most people get to a point where it doesn't work and then they have to cycle off and it can take weeks and months for their bodies to adapt. It can take months for someone’s body to recover from melatonin usage. INSTEAD, Sleep Breakthrough gives your body the precursors to melatonin and the molecules that help your body produce melatonin naturally.That way, the body doesn't downregulate, you don’t become dependent on sleep supplements, and you don’t experience that “sleep hangover.” Directions The recommended STARTING dose for Sleep Breakthrough is 1 tsp (teaspoon) or 2 scoops. If this doesn’t work well for you, try 1/2 tsp or 1 scoop.If this doesn’t work well for you, try 1/4 tsp or 1/2 a scoop. You can try 3 scoops, but if you over do the dose it can have the opposite effect on sleep. REMEMBER: THE DOSE CREATES THE EFFECT.AND EVERYONE HAS AN OPTIMAL DOSE FOR THEIR BRAIN AND BODY. Experiment to find the optimal dose FOR YOU.For the best results, stack with 2 capsules of Magnesium Breakthrough and a couple of sprays of Dream Optimizer too. REMEMBER: THE DOSE CREATES THE EFFECT.

AND EVERYONE HAS AN OPTIMAL DOSE FOR THEIR BRAIN AND BODY.

 Experiment to find the optimal dose FOR YOU.

Benefits Traditional Chinese Medicine Functions: Disperses stagnant Qi Purges gallbladder heat Intestinal Astringent Aloe 22 treats intestinal parasites and other intestinal diseases. The formula balances dispersing, eliminative forces with contracting and building forces, thus it is useful for a broad range of applications. The black walnut (juglans nigra), is a native tree of North America. Black walnuts are smaller, harder, and more pungent than the English walnuts sold in grocery stores. The hulls without the meaty kernels inside are used in herbal medicine. Black walnut trees exude a sap that discourages growth of competing plants over their roots. Black walnut hulls contain juglone, a chemical that is antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, and a fungicide. The hulls also contain tannins, iodine, vitamin C and zinc. Tannins act as a defense mechanism in plants against pathogens. The antihelmintic properties of tannins have been shown in scientific studies. Tannins are described to be antibacterial, and anti-diarrheic. Iodine is widely used as an antiseptic in medicine. It works by attaching itself to the pathogenic bacteria and thereby killing them. Cardamom (sha ren) treats abdominal pain and distension, and relieves intestinal spasms. It controls diarrhea caused by infection, but also treats constipation due to weak intestinal function. Astringent herbs such as mume (wu mei), terminalia (he zi), pomegranate (shi liu pi), nutmeg (rou dou kou), rubia (qian cao gen) treat diarrhea caused by infections, regulate intestinal secretions, and treat ulcers of the intestinal mucosa. Anthelmintics such as quisqualis (shi jun zi), omphalia (lei wan), torreya (fei zi), ulmus (wu yi), zanthoxylum (chuan jiao), and aloe vera (luhui) attack parasites in the bowels. Qi tonics such as codonopsis (dang shen), white atractylodes (bai zhu), and licorice (gan cao), and digestive herbs such as ginger (gan jiang) enhance immunityand improve absorption of nutrients. Use 1 to 3 tablets, three times a day
Health Concerns Artestatin™ $75.85
Artemesia Anua Herbal Supplement Artemesia Anua Herbal Supplement  Treats acute infestations of protozoa — giardiasis, entamebiasis  Treats nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea caused by contaminated food bacillary and amoebic dysentery  Use in conjunction with biomedical therapy for malaria, cryptosporidiosis, shigellosis, and trichomoniasis 270 Capsules Product Description Artestatin is composed of herbs that inhibit the growth of amoebae. The chief herb in the formula is Chinese wormwood (artemisia; qing hao), which has been found through research to be effective in treating malaria and giardiasis, both caused by amoebic organisms. Cascara Sagrada (Frangula purshiana) is a bitter antimicrobial. Brucea (ya dan zi) is commonly found in Chinese formulas that address malaria and other amoebic conditions; research has found it is capable of killing parasites in the cyst stage. Chamomile (huang chu ju) relieves inflammation and Qi stagnation. Magnolia (hou po) and cang-zhu atractylodes (cang zhu) are aromatic herbs used primarily to promote the movement of Qi, transform dampness, and resolve stagnation; research has found magnolia bark to be effective against amoebic dysentery. Pinellia (ban xia) dries dampness, transforms phlegm, harmonizes the stomach and stops vomiting due to phlegm-dampness in the stomach. Eleuthero (ci wu jia) is warm, slightly bitter, and tonifies the spleen. Because chronic diarrhea drains Qi and fluids, codonopsis (dang shen) is used in this formula to tonify the Qi, strengthen the spleen, and generate fluids. Tangerine (chen pi) regulates the Qi and transforms phlegm. Licorice (gan cao) harmonizes and moderates the characteristics of the other herbs; it also tonifies the spleen and augments the Qi. Other herbs in Artestatin are effective in treating dysentery and summerheat conditions characterized by nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Ginger (gan jiang) warms the middle and expels cold and is used for conditions of deficiency due to insufficiency of the yang qi. Cardamom (sha ren) not only moves the Qi and transforms dampness; it is added to this formula to prevent stagnation from the formula’s tonifying herbs.

Health Concerns Channel Flow $31.85
Channel Flow is a natural herbal formula that has been shown to be equally effective at pain-relief as NSAIDs, ibuprofen, and aspirin without the negative side effects. The long term administration of NSAIDs, ibuprofen, and aspirin at regular adult dosages is deemed unsafe for most patients due to danger to the heart, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. Opiates are contraindicated long term because they are addictive. Although many doctors prescribe Tylenol, it can be dangerous to the liver especially in high dosages. Gastrointestinal effects include acute biliary pain, cholestasis, nausea and vomiting. The long term safety of Tylenol has not been established. Because herbal formulas made in China are often adulterated with unsafe analgesics, Health Concerns wanted to provide a safe, consistent and effective formula manufactured here in the United States. Therapeutic Actions of Channel Flow: Has pain relieving and relaxant properties Helps relieve joint, muscle, abdominal and gynecological pain and cramping Treats headache, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, especially when used with other formulas Supports normal menstruation and a fertile environment Formula Channel Flow, a modified Huo Luo Xiao Ling Dan Corydalis Extract Herbal Supplement, was developed by Misha Cohen, OMD, LAc, and Andrew Gaeddert, out of their clinical experience with fibromyalgia, abdominal pain, and gynecological disorders.

It is 25% of the formula in a 7:1 extract. Corydalis invigorates the blood and alleviates pain. Corydalis also regulates Qi and is used for pain in the chest, abdomen, and epigastric area. It is also used for menstrual pain, as well as hernia-like (bearing down) pain. Corydalis has a mild sedative effect. Angelica (bai zhi) relieves pain, especially in the upper body, neck, and shoulders. Tang kuei (dang gui) has a special effect in relieving abdominal and uterine pain. Traditionally it is used for dysmenorrhea and arthritic pain. It increases local circulation of blood and has a warming effect. Its functions are to nourish, tonify, and invigorate the blood. Tang kuei, with salvia (dan shen) and myrrh (mo yao), alleviates pain due to blood stagnation in the extremities. White peony (bai shao) alleviates pain, spasms, and cramping. Cinnamon twig (gui zhi) was chosen for the specific effect of bringing the herbs to the surface of the body and to promote circulation of blood. The traditional functions include warming the channels. It has shown analgesic effects according to Western research. Salvia (dan shen) was chosen for its specific effect of relieving menstrual pain. Its traditional functions include invigorating blood and removing blood stasis and heat. According to Western research, salvia increases microcirculation of blood flow and has a sedative effect. Myrrh and frankincense are included for their functions in relieving pain. Frankincense (ru xiang) invigorates the blood and promotes movement of Qi. It alleviates pain and reduces swelling.

A neurologist advised her to stop all NSAIDs and headache medicine. She was advised to stop these medications cold turkey to prevent rebound headaches. She found that three tablets of Channel Flow effectively stopped 90 percent of her headaches. Case 2: A patient who had rotator cuff surgery was prescribed oxycodone every 4-6 hours for post-surgical relief. He had many side effects from the drug and he was afraid he was going to become addicted. In addition to acupuncture, he found that two to three tablets of Channel Flow worked to control his pain without the side effects of the oxycodone. His surgeon commented that he had recovered faster from surgery than any other middle-aged patient. Use The standard serving is two to three tablets, three times per day. For acute conditions, it can be used four or more times per day. It is recommended that you take the formula between meals, two hours apart from medications.

Health Concerns Virility Caps $33.90
This is an empirical formula based on Dr. Fung's 60 years of clinical experience. Some of the conditions that contribute to infertility in men are decreased libido, lack of energy, difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection, premature ejaculation, and low sperm count, poor sperm motility, among others. In Chinese medicine, the primary organ responsible for maintaining reproduction capabilities is the kidney; it also stores essence, which is the basis for sperm production. Common syndrome patterns that can give rise to infertility include insufficient kidney yang, kidney yin deficiency of Qi and blood, and constrained liver qi which causes blood stasis. When to use Virility Caps: Supports Male Fertility Supports Normal Erectile Function Useful for impotence, poor sperm count, and poor sperm mobility Can also be used for kidney yang deficiency Formula In this formula, the chief herb is kirin ginseng (ren shen) which strongly tonifies the basal qi and strengthens the spleen and tonifies the stomach. Cistanche salsa (rou cong rong) addresses impotence, spermatorrhea, and cold pain of the back. Morinda (ba ji tian) along with psoralea (bu gu zhi) tonify the kidney and Qi. Deer antler sediment (lu jiao shuang) and cynamorium (suo yang) tonify the kidney, with the latter aiding the smooth flow of Qi and blood.

Mission & Values Health Concerns is dedicated to promoting the benefits of herbal therapies by providing the highest quality herbal products available today. They understand that the traditional means of administering Traditional Chinese Medicine, through the brewing and drinking of teas, is not often effective for Western patients and have therefore developed a wide range of products based on TCM formulas in a tablet form. Health Concerns delivers outstanding products that improve people’s lives. Product Quality Assurance Herb Selection Their quality control program begins with the herbs themselves. They hand select the finest wild picked or organically grown herbs whenever possible, paying close attention to species, region of cultivation, time of harvest, and the spirit in which plants are grown and collected. They use only the most potent part of the plant. They do not use herbs that are endangered, sprayed or fumigated. Laboratory Testing Trained herbalists evaluate the herbs for quality on the basis of smell, taste and appearance, as has been done for thousands of years. The amount of active components, strength, and efficacy are then verified by analysis. To screen for pesticides, heavy metals, sulfites, and bacterial contamination, samples are sent to independent labs, which use the latest technology. Capillary electrophoresis, high-pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography provide detailed compositional analysis at the molecular level. Processing and Potency Once the herbs have passed inspection, they are processed according to tradition to maximize potency and eliminate undesired effects. Raw herbs may be steamed, baked, alcohol-soaked or ginger-processed. The selection of each herb is double-checked and quantities are weighed twice so that formulas are uniform from batch to batch. Herbs are granulated and cooked as a decoction to improve bio availability. Combining Components They devote meticulous attention to each individual component of a formula and then, of course, to how components work together. Roots are cooked over low temperature overnight. Flowers are prepared by infusion. Alkaloid-containing herbs are soaked in alcohol, and aromatic extracts are added last to preserve their volatile components. A small amount of acacia gum and cellulose are used to bind the ingredients together, while magnesium aids the tableting process. Tableting and Packaging Once the herbs are compressed into tablets, they are coated to ease swallowing and preserve freshness. To make sure they can be absorbed, their disintegration is timed. During the final stage of manufacturing, they are packaged into bottles, inner and outer safety seals are applied, and each bottle is stamped with a lot number and manufacture date. A sample of each batch is sent to an outside lab to ensure the accuracy, purity and potency. Fully Tested & Guaranteed All Health concerns formulas are made in accordance with cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices). Their manufacturing facility is certified by NSF International, an accrediting organization that tests, audits and certifies facilities. At Health Concerns, traditional and scientific assessment combined with time-honored methods of processing result in the most effective and reliable herbs available anywhere. Their testing criteria, known as SIDI (Standardized Information on Dietary Ingredients), is endorsed by the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), and the Natural Products Association. Their herbalists bring decades of training, experience, and care to the task of evaluation. They guarantee their products without reservation. We invite you to open a bottle of Health Concerns’ formulas to taste and smell the difference.   Formula Xanthium Relieve Surface is a combination of the traditional formulas Bi Yan Pian and Yu Ping Feng San (Jade Screen Formula).
