Author: Ahmad Sleiman – UWS Student Representative

Looking to give your heart some extra love this February? Look no further! Our monthly special features a dynamic duo of supplements designed to support a healthy heart and provide relief for migraine sufferers. For this month only, enjoy a 20% discount on our Healthy Heart & Cardio Chelation combo, and get ready to embrace wellness from within!

Healthy Heart & Cardio Chelation:

Our Healthy Heart supplements are formulated with your cardiovascular health in mind. Featuring a vegetarian formulation enriched with BerryVin and BioVin, these supplements aim to boost energy production in heart muscle cells, keeping your ticker in top shape. Packed with a synergistic blend of nutrients including coenzyme Q10, Hawthorne berries, selenium, and chondroitin sulfate, our Healthy Heart formula provides comprehensive support for a robust cardiovascular system.

Pair it with our Cardio Chelation supplements for an extra boost! Designed to nourish a healthy cardiovascular system, these supplements are fortified with coenzyme Q10 and alpha-lipoic acid. But what exactly do these ingredients do?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10):

Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short, is a powerful antioxidant naturally produced by the body. It plays a crucial role in energy production within cells, including those of the heart. As we age, our natural production of CoQ10 declines, which may impact heart health. Supplementing with CoQ10 can help support overall heart function by aiding in the production of ATP, the primary energy molecule in cells. Additionally, CoQ10 has been shown to have antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid:

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is another potent antioxidant that plays a key role in cellular energy production. Like CoQ10, ALA is involved in the production of ATP and helps to neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress in the body. ALA is unique in that it is both water and fat-soluble, allowing it to work in various parts of the body, including inside cells and in cell membranes. Studies suggest that ALA may also help improve insulin sensitivity and support healthy nerve function.

Migrelease:

But wait, there’s more! If migraines are causing you discomfort, our Migrelease supplements are here to lend a helping hand. Formulated with the added benefit of Coenzyme Q10, Migrelease offers nutritional support for migraine sufferers. Don’t let migraines disrupt your daily routine – support your mitochondrial function with riboflavin and experience relief like never before.

In a three-month randomized controlled trial, a 400mg dose of riboflavin was found to be superior to a placebo in reducing attack frequency and headache days. The study concluded that “high-dose riboflavin was effective in migraine prophylaxis,” highlighting the importance of Vitamin B2 in supporting mitochondrial function and increasing brain mitochondrial energy reserves.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to prioritize your heart health and find relief from migraines. Enter discount code HEART20 at checkout to enjoy 20% off our Healthy Heart & Cardio Chelation combo. Embrace wellness this February and let your heart shine with vitality!

We’re thrilled to announce that you can enjoy a fantastic 20% discount on Super Bio-Vegetarian this January by using the code SUPER2024 at checkout. It’s time to fortify your immune system and embrace the year with strength and vitality.

What Makes Super Bio-Vegetarian Super?

Our Super Bio-Vegetarian supplements have been reformulated to offer even more immune-boosting benefits. Designed to enhance the body’s natural defense mechanisms, this mushroom-based supplement now features intensified extract ratios and Withania from pure Ashwagandha Root, giving your immune system the superhero treatment it deserves!

Key Ingredients: Shiitake and Maitake Mushrooms

Super Bio-Vegetarian is power-packed with the goodness of Shiitake and Maitake mushrooms. These natural wonders benefit your immune system, providing the support it needs to maintain a healthy response. Shiitake and Maitake mushrooms have long been celebrated for their immune-boosting properties, making them the perfect allies in your wellness journey.

The Role of Ashwagandha in Taming Cytokine Storms

But that’s not all – the new formulation introduces Withania from pure Ashwagandha Root to the mix. This addition is inspiring because Ashwagandha has been recognized for its potential in helping to manage cytokine storms.

What is a Cytokine Storm?

During an infection, the body’s immune system releases proteins called cytokines to help combat the threat. However, in some cases, the immune response can become hyperactive, leading to an excessive release of cytokines. This phenomenon is known as a cytokine storm and can result in inflammation and potential harm to the body’s tissues.

How Ashwagandha Can Help: Balancing the Immune Response

With its adaptogenic properties, Ashwagandha is believed to play a role in modulating the immune system. It helps balance the immune response, preventing it from overdrive and causing a cytokine storm. By regulating the release of cytokines, Ashwagandha contributes to maintaining a healthy immune response without the risk of excessive inflammation.

Practitioner Insight: Your Health, Our Priority

Designed with the expertise of practitioners in mind, Super Bio-Vegetarian is now better than ever. The reformulation addresses the immune system’s natural functions and incorporates elements to counteract potential imbalances that could arise, such as cytokine storms.

Bio-Candida Care

Candida albicans is a commensal fungus that is usually acquired during neonatal life. As a commensal fungus of the gastrointestinal tract it normally does not cause damage to the host. However, it can cause opportunistic infections when an individual is medically or immune compromised. These opportunistic infections can be anything from mucosal to systemic candidiasis which can be life threatening. In fact, candidiasis is the third-to-fouth most common hospital-acquired infection both in the US and worldwide. One of the reasons treatment is complicated and there is a high mortality rate is because these infections are often associated with biofilms.

Biofilms are extremely hard to eradicate. Cells within the biofilm grow as a community and create a protective matrix around them making it harder for the immune system to respond to the infection. To make it worse, the cells that disperse from the biofilm matrix tend to have increased virulence. Studies show an increased pathogenicity when looking at host-biofilm interaction for Candida albicans. The biofilm is able to influence aspects of the innate immune response by decreasing the migration, phagocytosis and production of cytokines by the immune system. Meanwhile, the immune cells in the presence of biofilms tend to promote a thicker biofilm layer that is harder to penetrate. 

Even though the biofilm does a good job of protecting Candida albicans from the immune system, the Candida cells that have developed inside the biofilm are able to detach and spread to the bloodstream causing systemic candidiasis. Environmental triggers such as pH and carbon source can lead to this process of yeast-like cells budding from the biofilm, detaching and disseminating through the bloodstream. Because antifungal resistance is an ever present issue and there is an expanding population of medically and immunocompromised individuals who are at a high risk for infection it is imperative to have alternative forms of support for preventing and eliminating fungal overgrowth. 

Priority One Vitamins has partnered with Dr. Mona Morstein to develop Bio-Candida Care, a new formula specifically for fungal overgrowth in the gut. Bio-Candida Care was designed to support a healthy gut biome while at the same time preventing biofilm formation, breaking down existing biofilms and inhibiting the growth and proliferation of Candida albicans. It includes calcium undecylenate since undecylenic acid has the ability to inhibit biofilm formation and can also cause cell walls to atrophy. Sodium caprylate is used because it also has the ability to cause cell wall breakdown, loss of organelle function, and inhibits the budding and growth of Candida albicans. Olive leaf has antimicrobial and antifungal properties supporting both the elimination of Candida and preventing regrowth. Oregano oil and thyme oil are wonderful antimicrobials included to support a healthy immune response.

Calcium (as calcium undecylenate): 54 mg – Undecylenic acid inhibits biofilm formation of Candida albicans. Studies show that it can also cause cell walls to atrophy. 

Sodium (as sodium caprylate): 79 mg – Sodium caprylate inhibits the budding of Candida albicans and causes loss of function of cell organelles including the mitochondria. It has also been shown to decrease cellular integrity resulting in the breakdown of their cell walls.  

Olive (leaf): 250mg – Contains a polyphenol called oleuropein. Oleuropein has antimicrobial and antifungal properties supporting both the elimination of Candida and  preventing regrowth. 

Oregano Oil: 250 mg – Oregano is an herb with antimicrobial properties. Because of its broad spectrum antimicrobial activity it can be used for bacterial and fungal infections. 

Thyme oil: 200 mg – an antimicrobial herb that is often used for gastrointestinal conditions. Thyme’s antimicrobial properties have been shown to include antifungal effects against Candida.

Healthy Heart + Magnesium Orotate

I love February because it is National Heart Health month. And what better way to celebrate than to get a special discount on supplements that support a healthy heart!

This month Priority One Vitamins is offering 20% off two of my favorite supplements for heart health support – Healthy Heart and Magnesium Orotate. To get the discount, enter the discount code HEALTHYHEART at checkout. 

During the month of February we are often inundated with heart-shaped chocolates, balloons, pink flowers and teddy bears. But none of these do much to actually help our physical heart (except dark chocolate of course!). Our hearts beat all day every day, keeping oxygen and vital nutrients circulating throughout our body. It does this without us even having to think about it. For some people, this process can go on for over 100 years. That’s pretty miraculous, right?! 

While our cardiovascular system is a powerful pumping machine, it can also be quite delicate. This is especially true of the smallest blood vessels, called capillaries, that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the brain, eyes and kidneys. But even the larger blood vessels can get worn out and damaged. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), inflammation, and toxins can damage the delicate lining of the blood vessels. Nutrient deficiencies, nutrient excess, and other lifestyle factors can also accelerate damage to the cardiovascular system. 

Some of the best nutrients for a healthy heart include dark pigmented berries, Hawthorn, Magnesium, CoQ10 and the extract Resveratrol. All of these can be found in Priority One Vitamins Healthy Heart supplement along with many other nutrient rich minerals and plant extracts. The supplement Magnesium Orotate was specifically formulated because there is research supporting that when minerals such as magnesium are bound to orotic acid they become more effective and bioavailable. Magnesium is essential for so many processes including energy transfer, muscle and nerve conduction – all the main working mechanisms needed for heart function!

Healthy Heart features a vegetarian formulation with BerryVin and BioVin designed to promote energy production in heart muscle cells.

A blend of balanced nutrients provides support for a healthy cardiovascular system, with beneficial ingredients like Coenzyme Q10, Hawthorne berries, Selenium, and Chondroitin Sulfate.

Magnesium Orotate provides support for the cardiovascular system, and aid in normal energy levels. Magnesium is an essential mineral that aids in the production and transfer of energy, as well as in muscle conduction and nerve conduction. 

Orotic acid is a biochemical substance made naturally by the human body; orotates are mineral salts created by binding a mineral to orotic acid. Orotic acid is a biochemical substance made by all living cells and naturally by the human body. The mineral salts of orotic acid, called orotates, are used by plants and animals to form RNA and DNA.

Perhaps the biggest proponent in the use of orotates was Dr. Hans Nieper, a German physician. Dr. Nieper believed orotates were far superior in their ability to carry molecules across cell membranes, producing higher concentrations of minerals in the cell. During his lifetime, Dr. Nieper was often ignored and criticized for his use of oratates.

Recent research, however, has confirmed minerals bound to orotic acid are not only beneficial, but may be superior in their bioavailability and effectiveness. A 1998 study showed that triathletes who supplemented with magnesium orotate had improved glucose utilization and a reduced stress response without affecting competitive potential. This translated into improved swimming, cycling, and running times in the magnesium group compared with the controls.1 Competitive athletes have also used magnesium to improve endurance, it is known that exercise performance may be compromised with deficient magnesium levels.* 2,3

“The general population, even physically active individuals, have been documented to have insufficient magnesium intake.”* 3 It has also been suggested that magnesium supplementation may improve the efficiency of energy metabolism.* 3

Stay Active

We have been waiting a long time for the sun to come out over here in the Pacific Northwest. The sun is finally showing her beautiful face and as the days grow longer, so will the time we can spend outdoors. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall and winter are the times to rest and draw in while spring and summer are the times for being active and expanding. 

Aside from the many wonderful recreational benefits we can enjoy from being active outdoors – connecting with friends, family and engaging in our favorite sports – let’s not forget the amazing health benefits there are as well! Staying active has been shown to improve sleep, help with depression, decrease cardiovascular risk factors and balance blood sugar. 

Whether you are staying active by taking walks in the park, swimming, or doing something more intense like playing sports, hiking, mountain biking, or marathon running, we have you covered! Priority One’s Proto-Zyme and Priority Zyme are powerhouse supplements that include proteolytic enzymes to support healthy joints, muscles, and circulation. 

Priority One debuted with 4 products back in 1988, and Proto-Zyme was one of them! It is a powerful proteolytic enzyme tablet designed to support your body’s normal connective tissue repair and synthesis. It also has nutrients like zinc, lysozyme, cellulose and thymus that can aid in maintaining a healthy immune system. 

For more strenuous exercise, Priority Zyme is a high potency formula that provides nutritional support for cellular health, containing ample amounts of proteolytic enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes support a healthy inflammatory response due to strenuous exercise. Enzymes are essential for metabolism, and play a key role in the optimal function of a healthy body. Other benefits of proteolytic enzymes include support for healthy joints and muscles, immune support, and post-surgical support.

Love Your Liver

Holidays, weekends, social gatherings, special events, and even stressful situations often include alcohol.

The liver is a focus when it comes to alcohol consumption. This is partly because alcohol is broken down with the help of an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in the liver, and also because the liver takes a big hit when alcohol is consumed in excess. When you drink heavy amounts of alcohol, the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme is not able to keep up with breaking the alcohol down proportionately and the excess alcohol wreaks havoc on the liver. Some of the major health concerns related to heavy alcohol consumption or binge drinking include alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer. 

Would you like a better balance with alcohol? If you have been relying on alcohol for mood and social support, or reliant on it for so long that you have grown tolerant or dependent on it – then doing a reset is a great way to help. A change like this can assist with alcohol abstinence, support the liver and a healthier, stress-free lifestyle.  

Using a combination of herbs and nutrients that address the adrenal glands and liver while at the same time help to decrease the cravings is a good way to get a whole-body reset. My favorite trio includes Priority One’s supplements Lithium, Priority Lipo, and Adrenoplex. Used in combination, they can help support normal elimination from the liver, provide nourishment and promote a healthy response to stress. 

Lithium – Research shows that lithium offers neuroprotective support and may offer neuronal protection from the effects of alcohol. Excess alcohol can lead to a loss of neurons, specifically in the central nervous system, and supplementing with lithium may decrease the extent of neuron apoptosis (programmed cell death). Low-dose lithium has also been shown to promote the abstinence of alcohol consumption. 

Priority Lipo – Is a formula that includes many amazing herbs and nutrients specific for liver support. The ingredients included are known to decrease inflammation, lower lipid levels, provide antioxidant support, and protect liver cells from damage. Plants like dandelion root, barberry, milk thistle, beet and green tea aid with reducing free radical damage, offer protection from oxidative stress, and reduce triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Liver supporting Ayurvedic herbs as well as vitamin and mineral enzyme cofactors are also added.  

Adrenoplex – Includes the adaptogenic herb Eleuthero as well as Licorice which can help to extend the half-life of cortisol. It also contains vitamins A and C as well as the mineral Zinc which are important for a healthy immune response. Adrenal and pituitary glandulars are also added based on the concept pioneered by Dr. John Bastyr that glandular concentrates support like organs to maintain a healthy state. In combination, these nutrients help to maintain balanced cortisol levels, support the body’s natural immune response, and encourage a healthy stress response. 

For the month of April we are featuring 20% OFF Lithium, Priority Lipo & Adrenoplex!

Enter discount code RESET20 at checkout.

Organic Lithium Lithium supplement promotes a healthy state of wellbeing while supporting a healthy immune system.*

Priority Lipo Priority Lipo nourishes an already healthy liver.*

Adrenoplex Priority One’s Adrenoplex capsules, a whole gland adrenal with the benefit of pituitary and other supporting nutrients.*

Supporting the Thyroid Gland

A well-functioning thyroid gland is imperative for metabolism, cardiovascular health, as well as growth and development. 

The thyroid’s primary function is to secrete the hormones T3 and T4 which increase metabolism affecting almost every body tissue. It increases gut motility, absorption and assimilation of nutrients, and the breakdown of glucose and fats. It also helps to improve blood flow and body temperature through the combined effect of increased mitochondrial function, breathing rate, and heart rate. Last but not least, it is necessary for growth and development and plays a major role in sleep, mood, brain function, and sexual function. Needless to say, the thyroid is a very important organ in the body!

When the thyroid is not functioning optimally symptoms can fall on either side of the spectrum ranging from mild discomfort to life-threatening depending on the severity. Thyroid dysfunction can be debilitating and cause a lot of stress physically, mentally, and emotionally. Supporting the thyroid to maintain a healthy state is a great way to promote optimal health. 

Priority One’s Thyroid 65mg and Thyroid 130mg were created to provide glandular support for the benefit of a healthy thyroid. They were formulated based on the pioneered work of Dr. John Bastyr of Bastyr University that glandular concentrations support similar organs to maintain an already healthy state. 

Both Thyroid 65mg and Thyroid 130mg supplements are whole gland bovine sourced from locations with strict quality standards and non-GMO pasture-fed cows, ensuring that our products meet the highest purity standards.

For the month of October, get Thyroid for 20% off. Additionally, we are offering a chance to win $100 gift certificate. Email us at marketing@priorityonevitamin.com with subject “Thyroid Support” for your entry in the drawing.

Biofilm Phase-2 Advanced & Super Bio-Vegetarian

Biofilm Phase-2 Advanced™ 

The gut microbiome is a complex and integral part of health in general. For the gut to function optimally, there needs to be a good balance of beneficial bacteria. When the gut microbiome is out of balance whether from improper diet, antibiotic use, or inflammation then pathogenic microbes are able to take hold in the gut and cause a host of problematic symptoms. 

As these unfavorable microbes thrive they build protective barriers, also called biofilms, around themselves. These biofilms evolve from weaker forms (Phase 1) to stronger forms (Phase 2) making it harder to infiltrate. There are natural dietary herbs and nutrients that are good anti-biofilm agents as well as antimicrobials to support a healthy gut microbiome balance. Biofilm Phase-2 Advanced supplement is designed specifically as an advanced biofilm disruptor.

Alpha Lipoic Acid – has antioxidant activity and also promotes the regeneration of other important antioxidants including glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E. It also helps to disrupt biofilms. 

Black Cumin – has been shown to have strong broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against multiple strains of bacteria, fungi, virus, and parasites. It has also been shown to play a role in the inhibition of bacterial biofilm formation. 

Bismuth Subnitrate – a good binder and biofilm disruptor that also has potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. 

Super Bio-Vegetarian

Having a healthy immune response is imperative to staying well and bouncing back quickly after sickness. Giving the body an extra boost of immune supportive nutrients is a nice way to be proactive and prepared for the typical “cold-and-flu” season as we head into Fall.

One of my favorite combinations of immune supportive supplements is Super Bio-Vegetarian. A potent nutritional supplement that combines a selection of vitamins, minerals, and herbal constituents, as well as Shiitake and Maitake mushrooms that enhance the body’s own immune mechanisms to maintain a healthy immune response. 

Barberry – contains a constituent called Berberine which is an antimicrobial and can help decrease inflammation and modulate the immune system. 

Bitter Orange – contains bioflavonoids that have been shown to decrease inflammation as well as have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. 

Cayenne Pepper – is considered a stimulant that increases circulation and has been shown to increase body temperature and help clear infections. 

Echinacea angustifolia – also known as coneflower, is often used for support when there are infections.

Echinacea purpurea – is best used as a prevention against upper respiratory tract infections. 

Garlic – is a plant with effective antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. It is often used for infections of the respiratory tract such as recurrent colds and influenza.  

Ginger –  is a medicinal plant that has many benefits including antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.  

Goldenseal – is useful for infections and inflammation. It is particularly restorative to the mucus membranes and can help clear out excessive mucus or phlegm. 

Grapefruit – part of the Citrus genus, has been used all over the world for its health benefits including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. 

Magnesium – an important mineral nutrient involved in a wide array of functions. It has been shown to improve sleep and support calmness during times of stress. 

Maitake – both an edible and medicinal mushroom that has been shown to modulate the immune system and act as an antioxidant, antiviral, and antibacterial.  

Myrrh – is a gum resin that is primarily used for respiratory infections and to help clear out mucus. It also has anti-inflammatory activity. 

Oregon Grape – has antimicrobial properties that can help with clearing bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. 

Shiitake – an edible and medicinal mushroom used to support health conditions such as depressed immune system, infections, bronchial inflammation, frequent colds, and the flu.  

Vitamin A (100% as beta carotene) – beta carotene is converted in the body to vitamin A which is important for immune function and as an antioxidant. 

Vitamin B6 – performs a wide variety of functions in the body including immune function. One way it does this is by promoting the production of lymphocytes and interleukin-2. 

Vitamin C – plays a role in immune function. It has antiviral and antibacterial effects and also functions as an antioxidant. 

Zinc – a cofactor in many biochemical pathways, it functions as an antioxidant, is anti-inflammatory, and has antiviral properties. It is a great additional support when there is immune deficiency.
