This is especially true with V-STACK™ which has proven immune supporting ingredients delivered by a combination of our proprietary delivery system which produces a more highly efficient and exceptionally bioavailable liquid nutrition base of ingredients along with our synergistic ingredient formulation that brings you a matchless and potent naturally occurring synergy formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are the naturally occurring ingredients as found in our V-STACK™ product and their benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin C:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use only naturally occurring vitamin C. Our fruit source Vitamin C is from Camu Camu, a South American whole fruit berry source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most companies that use Ascorbic acid which they call “Vitamin C” we do not. Actually, Ascorbic acid is NOT Vitamin C at all. It is only a part of the whole Vitamin C and is like the antioxidant “wrapper” as found in Real Vitamin C. In fact, Ascorbic acid is man-made normally from corn sugar which was artificially made from corn starch in an artificial manner. The initial corn material used in this process is normally GMO which means the resulting ascorbic acid made from corn is GMO. This artificial ascorbic acid has nothing to do with a normal naturally occurring source of vitamin C like the whole vitamin C as found naturally occurring, for example, in oranges, limes, lemons, Camu Camu, Amla berries, Rosehips or Acerola cherries, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAscorbic acid is Fake vitamin C because it is made synthetically by man and not nature. Also, it does not contain the whole vitamin C complex that naturally occurring vitamin C does. For example, in whole, naturally occurring vitamin C sources you will always find bioflavonoids along with the naturally occurring ascorbic acid parts and also other supporting compounds such as ellagic acid along with other factors, known and unknown that are necessary for the vitamin C to function optimally in the body as a whole vitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFake, man-made vitamins are not the same as those produced by nature for your good health. In fact, Fake vitamins, like drugs, will have toxic side-effects over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C has been known for centuries to support immune health and good general health.\u003cbr\u003eOne of the first uses of vitamin C for prevention of low immune system conditions and general health was illustrated in the British Navy over 300 years ago. At that time a Navy physician noticed when limes and sugar were mixed into a syrup and carried on board the ship and the sailors were dosed with the syrup they did not develop scurvy or spontaneous infections. This procedure was eventually applied to all sailors on British Navel ships who took doses of the syrup and the great danger of scurvy, a horrible death-causing disease, was essentially eliminated. Before this syrup came into common use in the British Navy they had lost more men to scurvy (a vitamin C deficiency disease) than all of their Naval wartime casualties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan reduce your risk of chronic disease.\u003cbr\u003eVitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can strengthen your body’s natural defenses.\u003cbr\u003eAntioxidants are molecules that boost the immune system. They do so by protecting cells from harmful molecules called free radicals.\u003cbr\u003eWhen free radicals accumulate, they can promote a state known as oxidative stress, which has been linked to many chronic diseases.\u003cbr\u003eStudies show that consuming more vitamin C can increase your blood antioxidant levels by up to 30%. This helps the body’s natural defenses fight inflammation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay help manage high blood pressure.\u003cbr\u003eApproximately one-third of American adults have high blood pressure.\u003cbr\u003eHigh blood pressure puts you at risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death globally (7Trusted Source).\u003cbr\u003eStudies have shown that vitamin C may help lower blood pressure in both those with and without high blood pressure.\u003cbr\u003eAn animal study found that taking a vitamin C supplement helped relax the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart, which helped reduce blood pressure levels.\u003cbr\u003eMoreover, an analysis of 29 human studies found that taking a vitamin C supplement reduced systolic blood pressure (the upper value) by 3.8 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (the lower value) by 1.5 mmHg, on average, in healthy adults.\u003cbr\u003eIn adults with high blood pressure, vitamin C supplements reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.9 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 1.7 mmHg, on average (9Trusted Source).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay lower your risk of heart disease.\u003cbr\u003eHeart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.\u003cbr\u003eMany factors increase the risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, high triglyceride or LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.\u003cbr\u003eVitamin C may help reduce these risk factors, which may reduce heart disease risk.\u003cbr\u003eFor example, an analysis of 9 studies with a combined 293,172 participants found that after 10 years, people who took at least 700 mg of vitamin C daily had a 25% lower risk of heart disease than those who did not take a vitamin C supplement.\u003cbr\u003eAnother analysis of 13 studies looked at the effects of taking at least 500 mg of vitamin C daily on risk factors for heart disease, such as blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.\u003cbr\u003eThe analysis found that taking a vitamin C supplement significantly reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol by approximately 7.9 mg\/dL and blood triglycerides by 20.1 mg\/dL (12Trusted Source).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay reduce blood uric acid levels and help prevent gout attacks.\u003cbr\u003eGout is a type of arthritis that affects approximately 4% of American adults.\u003cbr\u003eGout symptoms appear when there is too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product produced by the body. At high levels, it may crystallize and deposit in the joints.\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, several studies have shown that vitamin C may help reduce uric acid in the blood and, as a result, protect against gout attacks.\u003cbr\u003eFor example, a study including 1,387 men found that those who consumed the most vitamin C had significantly lower blood levels of uric acid than those who consumed the least.\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, an analysis of 13 studies found that taking a vitamin C supplement over 30 days significantly reduced blood uric acid, compared with a placebo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps prevent iron deficiency\u003cbr\u003eIron is an important nutrient that has a variety of functions in the body. It’s essential for making red blood cells and transporting oxygen throughout the body.\u003cbr\u003eVitamin C supplements can help improve the absorption of iron from the diet. Vitamin C assists in converting iron that is poorly absorbed, such as plant-based sources of iron, into a form that is easier to absorb.\u003cbr\u003eIn one study, 65 children with mild iron deficiency anemia were given a vitamin C supplement. Researchers found that the supplement alone helped control their anemia (20Trusted Source).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports immunity.\u003cbr\u003eOne of the main reasons people take vitamin C supplements is to boost their immunity, as vitamin C is involved in many functions of the immune system.\u003cbr\u003eFirst, vitamin C helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection.\u003cbr\u003eSecond, vitamin C helps these white blood cells function more effectively while protecting them from damage by potentially harmful molecules, such as free radicals.\u003cbr\u003eThird, vitamin C is an essential part of the skin’s defense system. It’s actively transported to the skin, where it can act as an antioxidant and help strengthen the skin’s barriers and improve skin health.\u003cbr\u003eStudies have shown that taking vitamin C may shorten wound healing time.\u003cbr\u003ePeople who have contracted pneumonia tend to have lower vitamin C levels, and vitamin C has been shown to shorten the recovery time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects your memory and mental functions as you age.\u003cbr\u003eDementia is a broad term used to describe symptoms of poor thinking and memory.\u003cbr\u003eIt affects over 35 million people worldwide and typically occurs among older adults.\u003cbr\u003eStudies suggest that oxidative stress and inflammation near the brain, spine, and nerves (altogether known as the central nervous system) can increase the risk of dementia.\u003cbr\u003eVitamin C is a strong antioxidant. Low levels of this vitamin have been linked to an impaired ability to think and remember.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral studies have shown that people with dementia may have lower blood levels of vitamin C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffice of Dietary Supplements – Vitamin C.

These glands are found in the hair follicles on your skin and produce sebum, an oily, waxy substance that keeps your skin lubricated and waterproof.\u003cbr\u003eVitamin A deficiency may increase your risk of developing acne, as it causes an overproduction of the protein keratin in your hair follicles.This would increase your risk of acne by making it more difficult for dead skin cells to be removed from hair follicles, leading to blockages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Bone HealthThe key nutrients needed for maintaining healthy bones as you age are protein, calcium and vitamin D.However, eating enough vitamin A is also necessary for proper bone growth and development, and a deficiency in this vitamin has been linked to poor bone health.People with lower blood levels of vitamin A are at a higher risk of bone fractures than people with healthy levels.Animal studies examining the importance of vitamin A in male reproduction have shown that a deficiency blocks the development of sperm cells, causing infertility issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS 2015-2020 EIGHTH EDITION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTang G.

Our source of D3 is wild-crafted, Non-GMO Lichen from the shores of Iceland in the high Northern Atlantic region known for its pristine environment. This Lichen is naturally extracted for its high content of vitamin D3 and is an important ingredient in our formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD3 is a primary nutrient for your health especially for maintaining a strong immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 works in our immune systems in multiple ways. Here are some of the main ways that vitamin D3 helps to support immune system:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin D3 acts as an immune modulator. This means it helps boost immune function when needed and protects against unnecessary inflammatory responses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin D3 stimulates our immune cells’ production of proteins with antiviral properties. These cells (known as AMPs) are considered our immune system’s first line of defense.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin D3 also helps activate T cells which are our immune system’s “soldier” cells which help identify and remove infectious pathogens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a list of 5 benefits of using real vitamin D3:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-Inflammatory\u003cbr\u003eA report that was published on Science Daily explaining a recent study that found adequate levels of vitamin D3 inhibit the body’s inflammatory response; thus reducing the risk of chronic inflammatory conditions and thereby also lowering the risk of developing diseases that may be caused by inflammation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin Care\u003cbr\u003eVitamin D3 has numerous benefits for the skin. Firstly, it supports an anti-aging regimen by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and also making the skin stronger and softer. Since vitamin D has anti-inflammatory properties, it is also beneficial for reducing acne.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTestosterone\u003cbr\u003eThis particular section refers to a benefit of vitamin D3 for men. There have been a significant amount of studies performed to determine the benefits that this particular vitamin has for men, and it is often found that a low level of vitamin D3 is usually associated with a low testosterone level in men. For this reason, when vitamin D3 and testosterone levels are low, the supplementation of vitamin D3 may assist with increasing testosterone production. According to Anabolic Men, testosterone can be boosted by as much as 25% with proper supplementation of vitamin D3.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps to defend against he onslaught of viral respiratory conditions.\u003cbr\u003eEach year, up to 20% of the entire American population gets the flu at least once. Flu also causes as much as 200,000 hospitalizations every year and as much as 49,000 people may die from a condition that is flu-related each year, as reported by WebMD. According to an Independent study conducted in the UK, taking a daily supplement of vitamin D3 can help people defend their body from the development of flu, as well as other types of respiratory infections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the reduction of Depression.\u003cbr\u003eNew evidence suggests vitamin D3 to be a potentially effective natural treatment option for depression, according to Healthline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves Calcium Absorption\u003cbr\u003eCalcium is one of the most important nutrient minerals required for good health. Approximately 99% of all calcium is found within the teeth and bones of the body. Calcium assists by supporting both the function and structure of bones. The National Institutes of Health explains that the remaining 1% of calcium assists with vasodilation, nerve transmission, hormone secretion, intracellular signaling and muscle function. Vitamin D3 is known to be essential for calcium absorption as it helps the body more efficiently absorb calcium and distribute it throughout the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelieves Muscle Cramps\u003cbr\u003eVitamin D3 deficiency may cause muscle weakness and muscle cramps. According to Livestrong, a low level of vitamin D may also cause tingling sensations and numbness, as well as muscle twitching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves Heart Health\u003cbr\u003eWhen heart health is not properly addressed, life-threatening diseases like heart failure can develop. The American College of Cardiology reports that recent studies found vitamin D3 to be essential in patients who have been diagnosed with heart conditions as D3 helps to improve overall cardiac function in these patients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps to maintain control of Insulin Response\u003cbr\u003eType 2 diabetes affects millions of people around the world and can cause deadly health symptoms.

This is a naturally occurring and Non-GMO source of Quercetin rather than a synthesized version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin offers respiratory support and support for the immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin has been shown to stabilize the production of histamines in the body that prompt an allergic response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin has also been shown to promote a healthy inflammatory response, which provides extra respiratory support, If taken consistently, quercetin can also help reduce the toxic free radicals that form in response to inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA respiratory reaction is our body’s response to what it perceives as an “invader”. It could be pollen, pet dander, dust, or other airborne agitators. The inflammatory response constricts the lung airways and may make it difficult to breathe. Quercetin supports lung health and immune system stimulation which is needed to help prevent or manage certain bacterial or viral infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere are some of the main benefits of Quercetin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLowers InflammationQuercetin is a key bioflavonoid with anti-inflammatory properties and acts as an antioxidants supporting the natural process of oxidation that takes place over time as we age. Quercetin can help stop damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, which negatively impact how cells work. It can also reduce expression of inflammatory genes such as interleukin.Research shows that inflammation is a root cause of most diseases, including heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline, some mental disorders, and autoimmune disorders. At this time, practitioners and patients report using quercetin to effectively fight a variety of conditions related to inflammation, including:“Hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis)\u003cbr\u003eHigh cholesterol\u003cbr\u003eHeart disease and circulation problems\u003cbr\u003eInsulin resistance and diabetes\u003cbr\u003eEye-related disorders, including cataracts\u003cbr\u003eAllergies, asthma, and hay fever\u003cbr\u003eStomach ulcers\u003cbr\u003eCognitive impairment\u003cbr\u003eGout\u003cbr\u003eViral infections\u003cbr\u003eChronic fatigue syndrome\u003cbr\u003eInflammation of the prostate, bladder, and ovaries\u003cbr\u003eChronic infections of the prostate\u003cbr\u003eSkin disorders, including dermatitis and hives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllergiesQuercetin can act as a natural antihistamine and an anti-inflammatory for lowering the effects of seasonal and food allergies, plus asthma and skin reactions.Histamines are chemicals that are released when the immune system detects an allergy or sensitivity. Quercetin can help stabilize their release which results in decreased symptoms such as coughs, watery eyes, runny noses, hives, swollen lips or tongue, and indigestion.Quercetin has long been used in ancient Asian herbal formulas to block allergies to certain foods (such as peanuts). Studies conducted on mice suggest that it may be as effective at fighting allergies without side effects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Heart HealthBecause of its ability to lower inflammation and oxidative stress, quercetin seems beneficial for people with heart and blood vessel-related disorders, according to a number of studies.For example, eating lots of deeply colored fruits and veggies that contain flavonoids is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and even death, in older adults. Quercetin has also been connected to reduced risk for type 2 diabetes and obesity, which have many of the same risk factors as heart disease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps Fight PainTaking quercetin supplements may help lower pain associated with arthritis, as well as infections, including those of the prostate and respiratory tract. That’s because studies suggest quercetin reduces inflammatory pain. For example, there’s some evidence from several studies that people experiencing bladder pains from infections have fewer symptoms when taking quercetin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy and EnduranceResearchers from the School of Applied Physiology at the Georgia Institute of Technology found that, on average, “quercetin provides a statistically significant benefit in human endurance exercise capacity (VO2 max) and endurance exercise performance.”Other studies show that quercetin helps increase immune function and prevents susceptibility to illnesses that can occur when someone trains intensely and experiences exhaustion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps Protect Skin HealthCapable of blocking “mast cells,” which are immune cells critical in triggering allergic reactions, inflammatory disease, and autoimmune disease, quercetin can help protect skin from the effects of disorders like dermatitis and photosensitivity. Flavonoids like quercetin block the release of many proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-8 and TNF, which helps stop symptoms related to skin inflammation, even in people who don’t find relief from other conventional treatments or prescriptions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects Liver HealthRecent research has shown that quercetin has protective effects when administered to those with ethanol-induced acute liver injury. Researchers concluded that “quercetin, by multiple mechanisms interplay, demonstrates a hepatoprotective effect on liver injury induced by alcohol by increasing ethanol metabolizing enzyme activities.A 2017 study found evidence indicating that quercetin attenuates liver inflammation and fibrosis through inhibiting macrophages infiltration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects the BrainThere’s mounting evidence that quercetin offers neuroprotective benefits due to its ability to defend the brain against oxidation and inflammation, leading to potentially less risk for cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.A 2018 study concluded that “findings suggest a possible new protective role for dietary flavonoids on Alzheimer’s disease (AD).” The study found that quercetin helps ameliorate cognitive dysfunction and may help reduce the destruction of neurons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuercetin’s Influence On Exercise Performance And Muscle Mitochondrial Biogenesis.

The problem is that these acids which are mainly soil based have been depleted from our soils due to the conventional farming practices around the world for many years. Today we have very little Fulvic and Humic acids left in our soils and so we must supplement to get them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies have shown that Fulvic acid can help to prevent “leaky gut” syndrome by supporting the tightness of the intestinal cells in the intestinal cell wall linings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some of the benefits of Mineral Pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves stamina.Mineral Pitch is considered a rejuvenating remedy in Asian medicine, helping revitalize the body, reduce ailments, and improve quality of life. Fulvic acid, a major component of Mineral Pitch, can ease fatigue and weakness and support immunity.One of the main bioactive components in Mineral Pitch is fulvic acid. It helps transport nutrients to the deep tissues and helps to expel toxins from the body.Studies have also found that Mineral Pitch can alleviate behavioral symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). A study showed that Mineral Pitch can help reverse oxidative damage to cell mitochondria seen in CFS. Mitochondria are involved in the production of energy in the body and Mineral Pitch may be able to protect their integrity and function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports hemoglobin levels and iron absorption.Mineral Pitch may be just what you need if iron deficiency or malabsorption is a problem you face. A study found that Mineral Pitch had anti-anemic activity, improving hemoglobin levels and red blood cell count and providing iron for iron-deficiency anemia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects bones and joints.Mineral Pitch is good for your bones and can be used to help fight conditions like osteoporosis. Studies confirm that it can improve the mechanical strength of bone tissue and bone weight. Its anti-inflammatory properties also make it beneficial for those with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports pain relief.Mineral Pitch works as an analgesic, easing pain and other discomfort associated with inflammatory or other health conditions. In a study, the remedy showed potential in chronic pain management, helping reduce the intensity of pain in the subjects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports stress reduction.Mineral Pitch has adaptogenic properties to help reduce stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the immune response to microbial infections.Thanks to its anti-inflammatory action and ability to counter oxidative damage, Mineral Pitch hastens wound healing and can help heal gastric ulcers quicker. Studies show that it may work by reducing gastric acid secretion and pepsin levels.The antiviral properties of Mineral Pitch, courtesy its component humic acid means it can be useful for some common viral infections. An in-vitro test found that it worked against the herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and 2, as well as the human cytomegalovirus 32 (HCMV) and the human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Other research has noted its effectiveness against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria as well as Candida albicans fungi. Together, these pathogens are responsible for many digestive, skin, and respiratory infections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart protection:Mineral Pitch may work as a cardiotonic thanks to its antioxidant benefits. Studies confirm its ability to improve heart function and protect it from myocardial injuries. Mineral Pitch may also have a favorable impact on blood cholesterol levels, a risk factor in heart problems like atherosclerosis. In one study of healthy volunteers, taking Mineral Pitch for 45 days helped reduce triglyceride levels and improved HDL levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports balanced blood sugar.Mineral Pitch has been shown to balance hyperglycemia and is used traditionally for blood sugar imbalances including diabetes.Mineral Pitch has gained attention is in its potential to help those with type 2 diabetes. In one study, Mineral Pitch helped significantly reduce blood glucose levels and improved the lipid profile of the diabetic test patients. In addition, when Mineral Pitch was administered with typical medication for diabetes like metformin, it helped enhance the glucose-lowering ability of the drugs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the management of altitude sickness.Travel to high altitudes can sometimes affect the body adversely, causing headaches and lethargy. Mineral Pitch stimulates your immune system and helps you better cope with the stress of high altitudes both mentally and physically. It can also boost the ability of your blood to carry oxygen whilst also improving the blood circulation itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeena, Harsahay, H.
