    Ortho Molecular Products® Vitamin D3 50,000 IU

    Looking for more? Check out The Natural Alternative's version - D3 50,000 In addition to supporting bone health, vitamin D plays an important role maintaining cardiovascular health and immune function, and promoting an overall sense of well-being. Product Overview Clinical Applications Maintains Bone and Dental Health Increases Calcium Absorption and Balance Boosts Immune Activity Supports Cardiometabolic Health, Blood Sugar Balance Already Within Normal Levels, and Weight Loss Helps Increase Musculoskeletal Strength and Comfort Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that is part of a group of fat-soluble pro-hormones best known for the role they play in supporting bone health and aiding in the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gastrointestinal tract. A growing body of research highlights vitamin D's important role in supporting other body systems, including cardiovascular and blood sugar balance, musculoskeletal strength, and neurological and immune function, enabled by vitamin D's ability to target over 200 different genes throughout the body.Vitamin D3 50,000 IU is ideal for those who have difficulty achieving and maintaining peak vitamin D levels. For those who require an immediate boost in their vitamin D status, the vitamin D3 50,000 IU formulation is a convenient, effective way to get the substantial support they need. Suggested Use:1 capsule per week. This product is a high dose vitamin D capsule that is not typically intended for long-term daily use. Please consult your health care professional if you are unsure of the appropriate dose. Benefits Vitamin D DepletionWhile it has long been assumed that the majority of the population achieves adequate levels of vitamin D through exposure to the sun, the biosynthesis of the nutrient is affected by time of day, seasons, location, smog/pollution, clothing and sunscreen. Depleted levels of vitamin D may interfere with the normal development of teeth and bones, normal cell growth, and contribute to poor regulation of immune and nervous systems. Bone and Dental HealthNumerous studies have highlighted the importance of vitamin D to maintaining healthy bone density.Cardiometabolic Health and Blood Sugar BalanceIn light of the role that vitamin D plays in a variety of tissues and body systems, it comes as no surprise that much research from recent years has underscored its contribution to cardiometabolic wellness. Vitamin D has also been shown to support healthy blood sugar metabolism. Immune Health and ModulationOne of the more profound functions of vitamin D is its ability to modulate immunity. An important recent study suggested that improving vitamin D status significantly affects the expression of genetic pathways linked to immune activity. Vitamin D has been shown to boost the immune response by up-regulating specific genes.Musculoskeletal ComfortNumerous studies also point to the key role of vitamin D in supporting musculoskeletal strength and comfort.Safety and Efficacy of High Dose Vitamin DVitamin D research is continually evolving and now includes safety and efficacy studies on high doses of up to 50,000 IU.

  • Natural D-Hist®

    Ortho Molecular Products® Natural D-Hist®

    1 review

    This product has been replaced by The Natural Alternative's Hist Assist which is a direct replacement.  The Natural D-Hist® formula includes optimal support for nasal and sinus passageways for individuals who anticipate seasonal changes. Supports Immune Balance in Hypersensitive Individuals Supports Sinus and Respiratory Health Promotes Normal Viscosity of Mucus Supports Healthy Nasal Passages Natural D-Hist® is a targeted blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, proteolytic enzymes and botanicals designed to provide comprehensive support for seasonal challenges caused by common environmental allergens. The formula includes quercetin, bromelain, stinging nettles leaf and N-acetyl cysteine. The powerful combination actively promotes healthy nasal and sinus passages for individuals with elevated histamine and respiratory irritation. Suggested Use: Loading Dose: 2 capsules three times per day for 7-10 days or as recommended by your health care professional. Maintenance: 2 or more capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional. Quercetin Quercetin is a biologically active flavonoid antioxidant that is widely distributed in plants including oak trees, onions and tea. Quercetin has strong antioxidant activity and has been shown to support immune health by mediating the release of inflammatory compounds including leukotrienes and prostaglandins. Quercetin is known for its ability to stabilize mast cells, diminishing the release of histamine, the compound known to cause hypersensitivity reactions during seasonal changes. Stinging Nettles Leaf Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettles, is a plant that has been shown to balance immune response, specifically in the airways and nasal passages. Stinging nettles leaf controls mast-cell degranulation, prostaglandin formation, and histamine action all contributing to a balanced inflammatory response. Bromelain Bromelain is a plant enzyme naturally found on the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that aids in the breakdown of large protein complexes, including antigenic compounds, and has been shown to enhance the absorption of quercetin. Bromelain has been shown to reduce circulating allergenic protein complexes associated with hyper-immune sensitivity and seasonal discomfort. N-Acetyl Cysteine N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid precursor to one of the most important antioxidants in the body, glutathione. Both glutathione and NAC help reduce the viscosity of the mucus allowing for clearing of the airways and improved respiratory health.  Vitamin C Vitamin C cannot be synthesized by humans and is therefore an essential nutrient that must be consumed in the diet. Among its numerous health-promoting properties, vitamin C is an essential vitamin that supports the immune system and is also a potent antioxidant. When the body is under a significant amount of stress, vitamin C is excreted rapidly. Vitamin C has many immune boosting properties, but is distinctively beneficial for individuals with seasonal discomfort because of its ability to deactivate histamine.   These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

  • Super Aloe 450

    Ortho Molecular Products® Super Aloe 450

    Looking for more? Check out The Natural Alternative's version - Aloe 450   Highlights Super Aloe includes ingredients for regularity that work fast, without the artificial additives and associated cramping common in some products. Also available in convenient blister packs. Supports Gastrointestinal Function Supports Bowel Regularity Cape aloe has been used for thousands of years to promote the health of epithelial tissue, including the bowel lining. Cape aloe contains a class of phytonutrient compounds called anthraquinone glycosides. When ingested, these compounds are activated through bacterial metabolism in the gut, promote water retention in the stool, and stimulate peristalsis in the large intestine. By causing active chloride secretion, cape aloe increases the water and electrolyte content in the stool and eases elimination without artificial additives and cramping associated with other therapies. Super Aloe is intended for the relief of occasional constipation. Cape aloe, the solid residue obtained by evaporating liquid aloe ferox, has been shown in the research to affect regularity due to its influence on colon peristalsis, which it triggers to contract, resulting in accelerated intestinal passage. This formulation Super Aloe is available as 250 and 450 mg capsules, two potencies to provide tailored natural support for elimination. Suggested Use: 1 capsule at bedtime (allow 24 hours before redosing) or as recommended by your health care professional. Cape Aloe Despite the lack of published studies, aloe preparations have been in the United States Pharmacopoeia for more than 100 years. Anecdotal evidence suggests cape aloe supports normal inflammatory response in the gastrointestinal tract. Studies demonstrate that cape aloe increases stool bulk and bowel transit time and improves microflora balance. Cape aloe also supports the colon to help maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract

  • Bergamot BPF

    Ortho Molecular Products® Bergamot BPF

    This product has been replaced by The Natural Alternative's Bergamot   Highlights Helps Maintain Healthy Cholesterol Levels Already Within the Normal Range Multidimensional Support for Cardiovascular Health Preserves Arterial Health and Elasticity Supports Healthy CoQ-10 Levels Optimizing cardiovascular health is a leading concern for many adults, and maintaining balanced cholesterol levels are an important part of that process. Though cholesterol can be consumed through food, circulating cholesterol levels are primarily produced and controlled by the liver using the rate control enzyme, HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR). Because of its pronounced role in cholesterol synthesis, inhibiting HMGCR has become a primary target of many traditional therapies. Numerous clinical trials have shown the specific BPF found in Bergamot BPF works at the level of the liver to help maintain and support healthy cholesterol levels and preserve coronary arteries by maintaining normal inflammatory balance. Suggested Use: 2 capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional. What are Bergamot Polyphenolic Fractions? Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is a citrus plant that grows almost exclusively in the narrow coastal Calabria region in southern Italy. The local population quickly discovered bergamot juice could be used to help support healthy cholesterol levels and optimize cardiovascular wellness. Bergamot’s health benefits derive from its unique profile of phenolic compounds such as, neoeriocitrin, neohesperidin, naringin, rutin, neodesmin, rhoifolin and poncirin. Naringin has been shown to be beneficial in maintaining normal inflammatory balance, while neoeriocitrin and rutin have been found to exhibit a strong capacity to quench free radicals and maintain healthy LDL cholesterol levels. Also, bergamot is rich in brutieridine and melitidine, which have a unique ability to dampen HMG-CoA reductase. Using a patented extraction technology through collaborative works of various universities and research institutions, Bergamot BPF contains Bergamonte®, BPF/Bergamot Polyphenolic Fraction (by H&AD), the highest concentration available of these potent phenolic compounds. Clinical trials quoted were conducted on BPF.

  • Strontium

    Ortho Molecular Products® Strontium

    Looking for more? Check out The Natural Alternative's version - Strontium Strontium is a mineral that is similar physical and chemical properties to calcium. Research has shown strontium provides all-natural bone support. Provides Musculoskeletal Support Provides All-Natural Bone Support Increases Skeletal Strength and Helps Maintain Bone Density Bone is the rigid structure that makes up our skeleton, but is actually an active, living organ that is constantly being built up and broken down by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The proper balance of this cycle and turnover of bone provides the foundation for strong bones over a lifetime.Strontium is a mineral that is similar physical and chemical properties to calcium. Research has shown strontium provides all-natural bone support through its ability to naturally increase the formation of osteoblasts (cells that build up bone) and slow down the formation of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone tissue), helping to maintain healthy bone density.Suggested Use:1 capsule two times per day or as recommended by your health care professional. For maximum absorption, do not consume with calcium supplements. Bone and Skeletal HealthA growing body of research highlights the benefits of strontium in skeletal health. A head-to-head study comparing SrC to strontium ranelate (SrR) in rats found both forms deliver equivalent amounts of elemental strontium. In the study, equivalent doses of both forms of strontium or placebo were given and assimilation into bone was compared for 19 weeks and followed for another eight weeks. The study confirmed the equivalent delivery of SrC into bone compared to SrR and potential of SrC to support bone structure.   These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

  • K-Force

    Ortho Molecular Products® K-Force

    Looking for more? Check out The Natural Alternative's version - D3K2   Highlights Vitamins K and D act in synergy in the process of supporting and maintaining bone, cardiovascular and immune health. Ortho Molecular Products is the exclusive provider of MenaQ7® PRO, the most widely studied form of vitamin K2 as MK-7. Supports Healthy Calcium Balance Promotes Optimal Bone Health Supports Cardiovascular Health and Arterial Elasticity Boosts Immune Function Emerging research highlights the importance of optimal intake of vitamin K and its critical role in maintaining bone and cardiovascular health. Composed of a group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is required for the proper utilization of calcium and helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the bone matrix. Vitamin K helps maintain bone mineral density by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, cells that break down bone. It also provides critical cardiovascular protection by activating matrix Gla protein (MGP), a potent inhibitor of circulatory calcification. Along with vitamin D, another key nutrient required for overall wellness, these two nutrients act in synergy to support and maintain bone and cardiovascular health. Current research has found high concentration supplementation, at 180 mcg/day, results in improved clinical results compared to lower-dose supplementation. K-FORCE provides 180 mcg of MenaQ7® PRO, the most widely studied form of vitamin K2 as MK-7, along with 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 for optimal support of bone and cardiovascular health. Suggested Use: 1 capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional. Vitamin K Depletion Calcium and vitamin D are important mediators in bone growth, but vitamin K plays an equally important role. The synthesis of bone growth is dependent on vitamin K, through its carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein secreted by osteoblasts. Osteocalcin guides calcium into bones and prevents its absorption into organs, joint spaces and arteries. Vitamin K occurs in two main forms: K1 (phylloquinone), derived from foods such as green leafy vegetables and K2 (menaquinone), which is a group of related compounds differentiated by their side chains. Numerous studies have shown that vitamin K2 as MK-7 is the more bioavailable form of the nutrient 7 and more powerfully influences bone building than K1.  Bone Health Supplementation of K2 has repeatedly been shown to help maintain bone density and strength among women. Research conducted on Japanese populations has found superior bone health among women who more frequently consumed MK-7-rich nattō than those who did not.  Cardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Balance Vitamin K also plays a key role in supporting the cardiovascular system and healthy blood sugar balance. In a large population study, those who consumed high amounts of K2 had significantly improved cardiovascular markers compared to those given vitamin K1. Triage Theory The Triage Theory states that in the face of nutrient inadequacies, nature ensures the short-term survival of a cell is protected at the expense of long-term consequences. Vitamin K is an excellent example of this theory. Hypothetically, a short-term deficiency in vitamin K would lead to a reduction in blood clotting. This direct threat to survival does not happen because the body uses its metabolic reserve of vitamin K to ensure immediate needs are met. If prolonged, this dip into nutrient reserves leads to a long-term deficiency in vitamin K. Though not directly threatening immediate survival, long-term deficiencies are linked to bone fragility, arterial calcification and genomic instability.

They respond more quickly than the adaptive immune system comprised of B cells and T cells. Once activated, natural killer cell activity peaks in as quickly as several hours, providing rapid support and wide-range immune defense. EpiCor® is a fermentate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing various bioactive metabolites. These nutrient metabolites are produced in a specialized fermentation process and enhance immune cell production. In one cellular study, EpiCor® promoted natural killer cell activation, as well as that of B cells and T cells.1 In two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, EpiCor® provided statistically significant support for upper respiratory tract health and overall immune health.2,3 A separate open label, in-house trial indicated a strong potential for EpiCor® supplementation to enhance secretory IgA levels after 30 days. These various actions demonstrate the ability of EpiCor® to address both innate and adaptive immune responses.4 NAC (n-acetyl-l-cysteine) promotes endogenous glutathione production for antioxidant protection and provides lung defense mechanisms for healthy respiratory function.5 In a randomized, double-blind trial involving mostly older individuals, NAC showed support for respiratory health.6 Quercetin and elderberry provide flavonoids that offer additional support for immune and respiratory function while vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc play important roles in immune cell activation.7,8,9,10‡References:Jensen GS, et al.
