Vita•Min•Vitality™ For Men

Ashwagandha is one of the most powerful herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine, the ancient medicine of India. It is well known for its restorative and strengthening effects, especially when it comes to stress and immunity. Ashwagandha is referred to as an adaptogen. This means that it helps your body "adapt" better to stress, be it physical, emotional or mental. We use ashwagandha for its ability to promote healthy energy, a sense of vitality, and a healthy response to stress.

Research now attributes ashwagandha's powerful actions to its special compounds known as withanolides. Our ashwagandha is a concentrated SuperPure® extract with verified activity of these compounds for optimal benefit. Purity is paramount; our ashwagandha extract is also certified organic, vegan, non-GMO, and meets our strict standards for quality and purity.

Choline is an essential nutrient required for life, and is usually teamed up with the B vitamins in terms of function. It was formally believed our bodies could make enough choline to meet our daily requirement but it's since been determined the importance of outside help from our diet and supplements. Choline is essential for optimal brain development and supports healthy cognitive function, among other things. The need for choline is even higher in pregnancy when a baby's brain is miraculously forming.

Our choline is "grown" using our unique 3-step transformation process, which combines the use of organic fruits and veggies with the long-standing principles of fermentation. The result is a unique form of choline that brings you the best of real, wholesome food and that is perfectly balanced and compatible with your body. Shouldn't your supplements follow nature's lead?

Medicinal mushrooms have been treasured for thousands of years as profound healing agents, especially when it comes to the health of our immune system. Bionectria ochroleuca is a unique mushroom; its spore was originally isolated from the Tibetan plateau and is considered a symbiotic organism with the well-known Cordyceps sinensis.  Bionectria has strong immune supportive properties with powerful free radical scavenging capabilities.

We use the easy-to-absorb mycelium as a source of deep nourishment. Mycelium is the primordial thread-like hyphae that serve as the basis for growth for the mushroom fruiting body or "cap." A mushroom spends the vast majority of its life cycle in the mycelium phase during which time it produces a wide variety of enzymes and nutrients. The presence of these immunologically active metabolites and enzymes are found in the soft mycelium cell walls and its extracellular substrate (collectively known as the mycelium biomass). Research indicates these interesting secondary metabolites have the potential to yield very promising health benefits for humans.

Our mycelium is carefully monitored throughout its growth to ensure the complete development of all its active beneficial constituents. After harvest, we utilize a special cold-drying and precision cold-milling technique to preserve its full array of heat-sensitive enzymes and extracellular compounds. When mycelium is heated, it can degrade many of these valuable, immune-supportive compounds. Our objective is to produce the cleanest, purest, most whole, bioactive mycelium product to support healthy cellular and immune function.

Formally known as Siberian ginseng, eleuthero is well loved for helping one to handle many forms of stress. By strengthening your body and energizing you on a deep level, eleuthero has earned its reputation as one of the greatest adaptogens available in our herbal apothecary. It's one of the most well-studied herbs and continues to fascinate for its ability to energize without being overstimulating.

Our eleuthero extract is made one of two ways, both of which are certified organic, SuperPure® and have their own amazing attributes. For Pure Synergy® Superfood, it's made the traditional way following the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The aromatic oils that are released during the brewing process are captured and reintegrated into the final extract for an unparalleled whole-spectrum ingredient. Alternatively, our eleuthero is a concentrated SuperPure® extract standardized to contain the valuable eleutherosides.

Used in India for thousands of years as both a medicine and a sacred protector of life, holy basil is also known as "Tulsi" and "The Incomparable One." When a plant has "holy" in its name, it must be something truly special! What makes holy basil so divine? It's considered a mood enhancer, a digestive tonic, an immune aid, and an all-around wellness and vitality supporter.

Our holy basil is a SuperPure® concentrated extract with verified activity of its most valuable compounds for optimal benefit. Purity is paramount; our holy basil extract is also certified organic, vegan, non-GMO, and meets our strict standards for quality and purity.

Fermented soy is a centuries old preparation of soy that renders it highly nutritive and wholesome. Asian cultures have long used small amounts of fermented soy in their daily diets as a health and wellness food. Fermentation of soy ensures a safe and highly beneficial product that nullifies the sensitivity and hard to digest nature of beans for some people. Fermentation results in a nutrient-dense form of soy that is a wonderful addition to our diets. We use certified organic, non-GMO fermented soy in small amounts as a nutritious protein source in our whole-food vitamin growing process. The soy is actually digested during the process and broken down into its amino acid components so there are only small amounts of it present in our finished products. All of our products that contain soy or use soy during our vitamin-making process are labeled as such.

Recent scientific studies confirm that both forms of vitamin K are critical to bone health, cardiovascular health, blood clotting, and overall wellness. Along with vitamin D, vitamin K holds the job of directing calcium traffic, keeping it in the bone where it belongs and out of your blood vessels where it may cause calcified plaques. Vitamin K is also integral to the creation of osteocalcin, an essential bone hormone, and to the development of a myriad of small proteins that make up the microscopic world inside your bones.

Our certified organic vitamin K1 is made through our special fermentation process using organic vegetables, fruits, and other natural food sources.

Our K2 vitamin is exclusively made for us in Japan, where it is derived from non-GMO natto, a wholesome traditional, fermented food used for centuries to promote good health.

Vitamin E is a potent, broad-spectrum antioxidant for our whole bodies. Because it is fat-soluble, it has a special affinity for our lipid-rich cell membranes, keeping them fluid and healthy. Healthy cells equal a healthy body as we age so it's important to get plenty of vitamin E through diet and supplementation. Despite its name, vitamin E is not just a singular vitamin but rather a group of eight different compounds — four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Although alpha-tocopherol is the most well-studied and utilized vitamin E compound in supplements, research is emphasizing the vital need for the "whole."

Our whole-food vitamins contain full spectrum vitamin E including mixed tocotrienols, which scientists are discovering have an instrumental role in aging and overall well-being.

Micro-minerals like zinc perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Zinc is actually a common deficiency, both worldwide and in the USA (in a milder form). Zinc is essential to the proper functioning of our immune, reproductive, and digestive systems. It also aids in hair and skin health as well as blood sugar regulation, energy metabolism, and muscle/bone growth. Zinc, although present in vegetarian diets, is tied up by a compound called phytic acid, which can impede zinc's absorption. Zinc is most concentrated in animal protein sources but can still be lacking for some people due to digestive issues, intake of certain medications, or other common health issues.

Zinc supplementation can be very important for all these reasons. Our zinc comes to life in our whole-food fermentation process, which is designed to transform each mineral into a rich, synergistic matrix of nutrition. The result is a unique form of zinc made with organic ingredients that brings you the best of real, wholesome food. It's perfectly balanced, gentle, and compatible with your body.

Micro-minerals like selenium perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Selenium is one such mineral that is essential to life and can only be acquired through diet and supplementation since your body cannot produce it on its own. Selenium protects our hearts and immune systems. It also maximizes thyroid function, as it's needed for proper thyroid hormone production. Selenium's most prominent role is as a potent antioxidant and regulator of inflammation. It's no wonder that selenium is often referred to as an anti-aging marvel — for both the aging we can't see on the inside and what we can on the outside!

Micro-minerals like iodine perform essential regulatory and structural functions in our bodies. As our soils become depleted, our foods more processed, and our bodies more stressed, micro-mineral supplementation is needed more than ever. Iodine is paramount to normal growth and development due to its association with our thyroid gland. Our thyroid gland stores almost 60% of our bodies' iodine supply. Thyroid hormone synthesis relies on the presence of plenty of iodine. Hence, a deficiency can cause a low functioning thyroid gland, called hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone controls the base metabolic rate of our bodies, which means it affects many of our core functions including heart rate, blood pressure, body weight, temperature regulation, digestion, skin/hair health, and much more. Aside from its vital role in thyroid health, iodine is also valuable as a free radical scavenger and immune system supporter.
