Endocrine System:
We have diurnal cycles for processing many nutrients, governed by the endocrine response to the daily light/dark cycle and changes in light frequency throughout the 24 hour period, and across the seasons. Here are some key supports designed specifically for each time of day:
There are many nutrients that are or have been classified at one time as B Vitamins. Only those that you cannot survive without are now considered in most B Complex supplements. We consider all of them, because of their important functions and benefits beyond stark survival and prevention of consensus deficiency diseases. We also go the extra distance to consider that different nutrients, including the various B Vitamins are processed optimally at different times during the day and night. Hence, while this is our Breakfast B Complex, we have also designed a Lunch time, Dinner time and a Bedtime B Complex supplement formulation. Since the B vitamins are essential cofactors in mitochondrial energy production, and energy is crucial for every biological action even including stress-relieving functions muscle relaxation and sleep, you can emphasize the B vitamins you need the most by boosting the B Complex for the time of day when your symptoms arise or are most noticeable. For example, Vital Energy Be at lunch will help boost your B's for those afternoon down times. And you will be supporting cellular energy production, compared to a stimulant like caffeine that actually draws down your reserves. Another cultural phenomenon that seems odd to us is the tendency to throw together a B Complex that has 50, 100 or 150 mg of each essential B Vitamin. Even a cursory look at the Daily Values needed for a healthy person to prevent the overt signs and symptoms of deficiency disease reveals that the relative requirements for these substances is not likely to be found in equal milligram amounts. We have designed our dosages based on the optimum dosage range, which is typically well above the minimal DV range. We then spread that optimum amount across the times of day which are optimum for processing each nutrient. As with all of our formulations, we also avoid the addition of any non-nutritive excipients that most formulas add for the convenience and efficiency of rapid mass production equipment, rather than for any benefit to you. In fact, typical commercial formulas will include ingredients that actually reduce bioavailability of the nutritive ingredients not only in all your supplements, but even in the foods you eat. That's why we meticulously avoid the use of substances like Magnesium Stearate and Phthalates found in so many supplements and pharmaceuticals.

Most natural sleep aids include the herb Valerian. That's a bad idea... because 40% of people have an opposite reaction to the desired soporific effect... We include a wide range of other botanical, nutritional and endocrine factors to support relaxing and falling asleep at the end of your day. We also include a number of factors that help boost bioavailability, absorption and delivery of all the other ingredients. What we don't include is any excipients, artificial colorings (our green Vegicaps are made with Chlorophyll), flow agents or other undesirable additives. The formula may be enhanced with each batch, but here is our latest formula: Active Coenzymes: Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) 10 mg 500% Vitamin B9 (as 5-MTHF) 200 mcg 50% Vitamin B12 (as Adenosylcobalamin) 50 mcg 833% Essential Minerals: Magnesium (from Magnesium Threonate) 3.5 mg 1% Chromium (from Chromium Polynicotinate) 200 mcg 167% Amines: 5-HTP 37 mg * GABA 50 mg * L-Theanine 50 mg * Melatonin 250 mcg * Botanicals: Withanolides 20% (Withania somnifera) 50 mg * Hou Po 5:1 (Magnolia officinalis) 50 mg * Huang Bai 5:1 (Phellodendron chinense) 50 mg * Lupulin (Humulus lupulus) 40 mg * Bacosides 50% (Bacopa monnieri) 40 mg * Lemon balm 20:1 (Melissa officinalis) 40 mg * Bioavailability Factors: EGb761 (Ginkgo biloba) 5 mg * Licorice Omnipotent (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 5 mg * Gingerol 40% (Zingiber officinalis) 5 mg * Moringa 100:1 (Moringa oleifera) 5 mg * Piperine (Piper nigrum) 1 mg * You can try one or more capsules of Sleep Synergy at bedtime to help with relaxing and falling asleep. If you don't achieve the results you are looking for with one capsule, progress to trying two or more for the first week or so... You can also take Sleep Synergy again any time you find yourself awake in the middle of the night, if you need help falling back to sleep... Once you get your sleep cycle re-established, your dosage needs are likely to decrease for maintenance. If you need additional support, we recommend reducing your exposure to blue light from screens late in the evening, and using only night vision sparing red light at night to preserve pineal function. Consider our Biocompatible Night Lights to light your way to the bathroom if needed... And our red flashlight for further navigational support. You can also benefit by reducing your exposure to EMF... Check out our Electromagnetic Pollution Solutions book for starters. |
