DLPA Supplement - DL-Phenylalanine DLPA (DL-Phenylalanine) is a 50/50 blend of L-phenylalanine and D-phenylalanine (DPA). Researchers believe DPA inhibits the action of an enzyme that breaks down endorphins and enkephalins - proteins that bind to opiate receptor sites in the brain, thereby influencing the perception of discomfort. By obstructing the action of this enzyme, DPA may extend the life of endorphins and enkephalins, and their positive influence on comfort levels.

Horse Chestnut Full Spectrum and Standardized Supports the Integrity of the Veins and Capillaries Almost unknown in America until recently, horse chestnut extract is a staple of European herbalism. Horse chestnut is rich in saponins and flavones, which modern research has shown help support the integrity of the vascular system and connective tissue. Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum Horse Chestnut delivers a minimum of 20% aescin, the primary class of constituents considered to be responsible for horse chestnut's activity. Centuries of Use of Horse Chestnut Horse chestnut's botanical properties were first described by Italian medical botanist Mathiole in 1565, and the plant was widely used throughout Europe by the 18th century. In 1896, a French researcher, Artault de Vevey, reported on horse chestnut's benefits for the health of blood vessels. Benefits of Horse Chestnut Today a growing body of research is confirming horse chestnut's benefits for circulatory health - turning horse chestnut into one of the top ten best-selling herbs in Europe. Horse chestnut's benefits are associated with a variety of constituents, but especially with a group of saponins collectively known as aescin.Horse chestnut is also a valuable source of bioflavonoids, including the subclass of flavonoids known as proanthocyanidins, renowned for their antioxidant activity. When taken internally, research has shown horse chestnut's constituents to strengthen the capillaries (the minute blood vessels that connect arteries and veins), support normal blood flow, and support the normal exchange of fluids through cell membranes. Planetary Formulas offers three scientifically advanced horse chestnut products: HORSE CHESTNUT VEIN STRENGTH, FULL SPECTRUM HORSE CHESTNUT and HORSE CHESTNUT CREAM.

Rhodiola Rosea Extract Full Spectrum and Standardized Herbal Supplement Adaptogen for Physical and Mental Stamina Rhodiola is a legendary adaptogenic tonifier that comes from the polar Arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Also known as Arctic Root, rhodiola was traditionally used to increase stamina. Full Spectrum Rhodiola Rosea combines an extract standardized to 0.8% salidrosides and 0.8% rosavin with a whole root extract, in order to provide the broadest spectrum of rhodiola constituents. Rhodiola Rosea: Siberian Tonic Herb Rhodiola is a root of the Rhodiola rosea plant, which is native to Siberia. Rhodiola was valued by the traditional aboriginal peoples of the region as a strengthening tonic that was believed to increase physical and mental stamina. In modern times, rhodiola has been researched for its adaptogenic properties. The term adaptogen was coined by the Russian scientist Lazarev in 1947. Adaptogens are defined as substances that show a nonspecific activity in helping to support our body's natural defenses. Used to enhance health, vitality and mood, they support the normal mechanisms our bodies have for maintaining a healthy balance or homeostasis in the face of physical and emotional stress. Adaptogens must be safe and must not influence body functions more than necessary to achieve their desired effects. Dynamics of Stress According to the pioneering medical research of Dr. Hans Selye, our bodies are able to respond to stressful situations via a process in which the sympathetic nervous system stimulates the hypothalamus-pituitaryadrenal gland axis.However, chronic stress can exhaust our resources and compromise our ability to respond, leading to nonresistance and diminished vitality. Although the exact mechanism of action of adaptogens is not known, evidence suggests that they enhance the general adaptive response of an organism, primarily by influencing the pituitary-adrenal gland axis. Modern Research Focuses on Glucosides Most research on rhodiola's benefits has focused on a pair of glucosides designated as rosavidin (also known as rosavin) and salidroside. These primary compounds have been studied for their ability to increase resistance to various stressors in animals. In these studies, antistress, endocrine and central nervous system effects have been reported. In one human trial, 10 mg of salidrosides, administered orally, was shown to enhance mental function. Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum Rhodiola Rosea delivers 10 mg of salidrosides in a concentrated extract of rhodiola, standardized to 0.8% rosavin and 0.8% salidrosides, plus a 4:1 whole root extract, for a complete spectrum of rhodiola constituents.

Saw Palmetto Classic Comprehensive Formula With Pygeum and Pumpkin Seed Botanical Prostate Support Planetary Formulas Saw Palmetto Classic is a comprehensive formula designed to support the prostate. Saw palmetto berries and pygeum contain a unique class of fatty acids that have the ability to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the prostate. This compound utilizes standardized and concentrated amounts of saw palmetto and pygeum, along with pumpkin seed oil, a rich source of zinc that is necessary for prostate health. These are combined with other key botanicals, known to support a healthy genitourinary system. Hormones and the Prostate Gland Recent statistics have revealed some alarming findings - the prostate gland has become an issue for men in the industrialized nations. No longer is aging alone to blame. Chemical toxins in our food and environment are rapidly contributing to the rising incidence of diminished prostate function. By their forties, many men experience a hormonal shift that can affect the size of the prostate gland. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that surrounds the urethra in males. Beginning in their forties, men experience a change in hormone levels that may increase the prostate's size. This growth is related to a significant increase inside the prostate of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent male hormone. As men age, the prostate loses its ability to break down and remove DHT. The formation of DHT is further increased by certain pesticides, treated foods, synthetic organochlorines, and other "endocrine disrupters" that block or mimic natural hormones. These synthetic hormones are believed to affect the prostate and contribute to lower sperm counts. Saw palmetto supplements offer support to the prostate gland by offsetting the repercussions of both the natural hormonal shift and the environmental challenge. Recent clinical tests in Europe have demonstrated the benefits of 320 mg of saw palmetto extract as a daily dietary supplement. Prosta Palmetto contains only superior saw palmetto. Saw Palmetto - Prostate Friendly For centuries, berries of a small palm tree called saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) were used as food by Native Americans. Its berries are rich in sterols and fatty acids that naturally migrate to the prostate. Here they help prevent the conversion of testosterone to DHT, and accelerate the breakdown and elimination of DHT from prostate tissues. Its natural phytoestrogens also can block artificial estrogenlike compounds from accumulating in prostate tissue. In Europe, saw palmetto extract has been studied in double-blind clinical tests. Men who were given saw palmetto extract showed consistent and statistically significant results. Planetary Formulas Prosta Palmetto is standardized to 85-95% fatty acids and sterols. One tablet contains the amount of saw palmetto used in these recent European studies. Saw Palmetto Classic combines a concentrated and standardized saw palmetto extract with pumpkin seed oil extract standardized to 25% fatty acids and pygeum bark extract standardized to 2.5% fatty acids. In addition to these beneficial fatty aced, pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, a mineral essential to normal prostate function. These herbs are further complemented by ten additional traditional botanicals, to support the male genitourinary system.
