5-HTP (L-5-Hydroxytryptophan), the immediate precursor to serotonin, is effectively absorbed into the bloodstream and readily passes the blood-brain barrier to promote optimal serotonin balance in the brain.* In recent clinical studies, therapeutic administration of 5-HTP was confirmed effective in treating depression, fibromyalgia, the binge eating associated with obesity, chronic headaches, and
insomnia.

Alpha lipoic acid can be characterized as a powerful universal antioxidant. It has the advantage of being both water-soluble and fat-soluble and is able to pass the blood-brain barrier. Other antioxidants, such as vitamin E and beta-carotene, have a highly specialized influence on specific types of free radical activity. Alpha lipoic acid, on the other hand, is effective over a broad spectrum of antioxidant actions.

Synergy is the key to health. Taking a broad range of antioxidants provides the body with across-the-board protection. A growing amount of research has indicated that free radicals heavily influence the aging process and the onset of degenerative diseases. By donating electrons to these unstable molecules, antioxidants quench or neutralize free radicals before they have the chance to destroy healthy cells. MedQuest’s Antioxidant Rx combines Alpha Lipoic Acid with the potent, natural botanicals: citrus bioflavonoids, green tea and red grape seed extracts, bilberry, and
Pycnogenol®.

An amino acid, L-Arginine, plays several roles in the body such as assisting with wound healing, stimulating immune function, and promoting the secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone. L-Arginine is also a precursor to nitric oxide, which helps keep blood vessels dilated, allowing the heart to obtain adequate oxygen. Preliminary research shows that it may regulate cholesterol levels and act as a natural blood thinner by reducing platelet aggregation.

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is one of the most popular nutritional supplements today. And it is no wonder, considering the wide range of reported benefits. DHEA is the most abundant of all hormones produced by the adrenal glands and is converted into many other hormones as needed. Testosterone and estrogen are two of the main hormones that are made from DHEA. The levels of this crucial hormone decline with age implying benefits as an anti-aging
supplement.

Naturally made in the body, the amino acid L-Carnitine plays a role in releasing energy from fat. Therapeutically used in heart-related conditions, evidence has shown that L-Carnitine, when combined with conventional treatment, may improve symptoms of angina and may prevent a heart attack. A review out of Temple University Medical Center, Philadelphia, stated that L-Carnitine might assist in treating congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, peripheral vascular disease, and acute ischemia.

L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid synthesized by the body from ornithine. Arginine supports protein synthesis as it is involved in the transports and storage of nitrogen. Arginine is important for proper physical performance because it is used by the body to produce creatine. Arginine 1000 is from free base arginine, which is 17% more potent than arginine HCl (hydrochloride).

Respected medical journals like The New England Journal of Medicine and Circulation have reported on the ever-growing list of benefits from a high intake of the essential fatty acids found in fish oil. Experts have found that fish oil may help the heart by lowering total serum cholesterol, elevating HDL (good) cholesterol, decreasing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure, and reducing platelet aggregation. Beyond heart health, fish oil may boost mental and emotional function, treat arthritis and other inflammatory disorders, improve dry skin conditions and acne, decrease headaches and enhance mood.
