NSI No Flush Niacin -- 1,000 mg per serving - 100 Capsules

NSI No Flush Niacin -- 1,000 mg per serving - 100 Capsules

Niacin is an essential B vitamin that plays many roles, including promoting cardiovascular, brain, digestive and skin health. Niacin is involved in numerous reactions inside of cells that convert food into cellular energy. Niacin is also involved in the activity of enzymes that transport and break down fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and other molecules formed from food. No-flush niacin is a form of niacin that is inositol bound and may be better tolerated because it is does not produce gastrointestinal discomfort, or have the characteristic "flush" of producing red and itchy face and neck. Niacin is particularly helpful in promoting healthy cholesterol levels. A normal function of niacin is to help remove fats (triglycerides) from tissues and the bloodstream.

NSI Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM -- 120 Capsules

NSI Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM -- 120 Capsules

Provides essential nutrients to stimulate cells to help build joint cartilage. . The body uses glucosamine sulfate, a natural compound, to stimulate cells to create one of the main building blocks of joint cartilage -- proteoglycans. Chondroitin sulfate attracts and holds large amounts of water to the cartilage-building proteoglycan molecules. Since cartilage has no blood supply, this fluid is necessary to nourish and lubricate joints. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane, or dimethyl sulfone) is a sulfur-containing molecule found in various plants and some body tissues. It is a natural and efficient source of the sulfur that is used by many of the body's structural molecules, including joint cartilage.

NSI CoQ10 Q-Gel Mega -- 100 mg - 60 Softgels

Necessary for normal heart function and cellular energy production. A powerful antioxidant! How Does Q-Gel ® CoQ10 Work? Coenzyme Q10 is present throughout the human body. It aids metabolic reactions, such as the transformation of food into ATP, the energy used by the body. Cell mitochondria (the part of cells where energy is produced) show the greatest concentration of coenzyme Q10 in the body. Similarly, organs that contain higher amounts of mitochondria per cell are those which overall have the greatest amount of coenzyme Q10. These include the heart and the liver. CoQ10 promotes healthy gums, cardiovascular function, brain health and immunity. Q-Gel Forte is a unique, 100% hydrosoluble, oil-based version of CoQ10 which may support the following benefits:. Q-Gel provides several times higher CoQ10 plasma levels than other conventional formulations. Absorption of Q-Gel is not dependent on composition of diet and proximity to meals. It costs less than regular CoQ10 supplements, based on plasma levels achieved. Q-Gel is the only CoQ10 supplement formulated using the patented Bio-Solv technology. NSI Q-Gel ® CoQ10 is better because it:. Comes in 60 softgels per package-a great value. Has been tested to be one of the most absorbable forms of CoQ10 available
