Liver cells, also known as hepatocytes, are little workaholics. They play a central role in all metabolic processes including metabolizing fat for energy production, making bile for breaking down and absorbing fat, producing proteins essential for blood clotting, both breaking down and storing glycogen for blood sugar balance, and so much more. These little hepatocytes work day in and day out to process and store nutrients as well as detoxify your body from toxic substances: For example, the processing and elimination of alcohol and medication by-products.
The liver is also needed for hormone metabolism. This includes the activation and inactivation of thyroid hormones, metabolism of estrogens, progesterone, and androgens, as well as the conversion of cortisol to its inactive form (cortisone) and vice versa. Needless to say, we can’t live without our liver! Most importantly, we can’t take our liver for granted. It needs our love and support to keep doing its awesome job.
Thankfully, nature has provided us with some amazing liver loving plants! Milk Thistle, Burdock, Dandelion, Artichoke, and Beet are all known to have hepatoprotective or hepatorestorative properties – meaning that they help to protect and/or restore damaged liver cells. Hepa Cleanse is a nutritional supplement that includes all five of these liver supporting botanicals. This is especially helpful for supporting the liver and gallbladder to increase bile production and enhance detoxification.
Other ways you can support healthy liver function include: Getting enough sleep so your cells can rest and rejuvenate. Getting enough sleep can also support healthy cortisol (stress hormone) metabolism. Eating healthy fruits and vegetables to support blood sugar balance and provide the essential nutrients your cells need to function. And last but not least, minimizing toxic exposure.
Hepa Cleanse™ is an exclusive formulation by Dr. Marianne Marchese, author of the best-selling book, 8 Weeks to Women’s Wellness.
Hepa Cleanse™ supplement supports liver and gallbladder function to increase bile production and enhance detoxification.*

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

It’s that time of year again! We all notice the weather changing, the days becoming shorter, and watch the trees lose their colorful leaves. This time also creates an awareness that the immune system needs to be supported – to prevent, or at least lessen, the severity of illnesses associated with the season. This may include viral colds, flus, and other respiratory challenges.
What can be done to support the immune system?
Of course, there are lifestyle habits that are great for supporting the immune system like: getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, finding ways to decrease or manage stress, and eating nutrient-dense foods. Taking a nutritional supplement formulated with specific immune supporting nutrients is another great way to provide additional targeted support.
Every age group has its own special needs when it comes to targeted immune support. Children have their unique set of challenges, as they are in close contact with other children their age, as well as dealing with the stress of school, while their immune system is still learning “what-is-what”. Adults have a set of changes too as the immune system ages, it is not as robust as it used to be, making the body more prone to illness.
Priority One Vitamins has formulated nutritional supplements with these needs in mind – we have created a line of immune supporting supplements that can be helpful for any age group. These include our products Bio Vegetarian, Super Bio Vegetarian, Senior Immune, Kindermune, Kinder Well, and Beta Glucan. These formulas were designed to support the body’s natural immune response using a combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, while the added support of plant constituents, spices, glandulars, enzymes, and medicinal mushrooms are included for powerful immunity protection.
For the month of November, our top immunity support formulas are 20% off. Additionally, we are offering a chance to win$150 gift certificate. Email us at marketing@priorityonevitamins.com with subject “Immunity Support” for your entry into the drawing !
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.
