DHEA ThermoPlex^TM

DT 180 capsules - one month supply or more depending on dosage.

Dosage:
Start with 2 capsules only, then work your way up very slowly until you get the desired results or you reach the dosage level of 2 capsules three times per day (morning, afternoon, evening).

What is it?
A weight control formulation designed by Life Extension Scientist, Dr. Ward Dean. Contains Ephedra + Yohimbe + DHEA in a synergistic combination.

How does it work?
It triggers thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is your body's natural means of burning stored fat to produce heat energy. DHEA ThermoPlex contains natural food components which have been found to help trigger the process of thermogenesis.

Ingredients (per 2 capsules):
120mg ephedra extract (6:1)
150mg yohimbe powder (containing 4mg yohibine) 10mg DHEA
100mcg chromium
Plus: caffeine, willow bark, dandelion root, ginger root, vitamins B2 & C, valerian root.

What is Chromium ?
Known to play an important role in insulin function and carbohydrate metabolism.

What is Ephedra?
Ephedra (or ma Huang) has been used for thousands of years in China as a tonic and weight control tool. It is a mild stimulant and thermogenic agent.

MemBrain Essentials^TM

Source of Phosphatidyl Serine (PS)

MBE1 30 servings, in either MCT oil 8 oz bottle, or in concentrated 1 oz dropper bottle form, each with 100-mg PS per serving.

Dosage:
3 servings per day. A great way to take our version with MCTs (MBE1) is to stir it into coffee or pour it on any food you would use butter on: toast, potato, etc.

Contents:
Each serving contains 100-mg PS with MCT oil, ethanol, DL-alpha tocopherol, ascorbyl palmitate, and BHT. MemBrain Essentials also contains the two essential fatty acids (EFAs), alpha-linolenic acid and alpha-linoleic acid, crucial for healthy cell membranes and required for peak mental function. The antioxidants in this formulation protect the fatty acids (in this product as well as in your body) from oxidation. The MCT oil is a good source of caloric energy that does not get stored as fat in the body. [Please see the fact sheet on MCT Oil.]

What is it?
A phosphatidylserine (PS) rich smart oil formulation in an MCT/antioxidant base for improved physical and memory function. Designed by life extension scientist Ward Dean, MD. PS is a precursor for the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine which plays a role in memory and learning.

What is phosphatidylserine (PS)?
PS is a phospholipid extracted from soy beans that has been shown to have significant memory enhancement effects. PS is a vital component of all healthy brain cell membranes (thus the name, "MemBrain Essentials"). Much of the research indicates that PS probably works by increasing energy in the brain by enhancing the efficiency of glucose metabolism. It may also act as a nerve growth and neuroprotective agent. And, it may actually reverse age-related neurochemical losses in the brain.

Dr. Julian Whitaker recommends the use of choline and B5 with arginine for prosexual purposes. Therefore ProSexual Plus works very well combined with Memory Upgrade.

Smart ALeC^TM

A great source of acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC)

SA 30 servings each with 500-mg acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) plus cofactors.

Dosage:
Use 1-6 servings throughout the day- one serving is 2 level teaspoons.

Contents:
Each serving contains 500-mg ALC with niacin, vitamin C, magnesium, copper, potassium, chromium, glycine, fructose. Comes in a great-tasting berry flavored drink mix.

What is the mechanism of action?
ALC improves the energy metabolism of brain cells by enhancing energy transfer across the mitochondrial membrane. Specifically, ALC assists the transport of medium chain and short chain fatty acids across the cell membrane.

ALC in Smart ALEC can help to:
