Strontium is a mineral that is similar physical and chemical properties to calcium. Research has shown strontium provides bone support through its ability to increase the formation of osteoblasts (cells that build up bone) and slow down the formation of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone tissue) helping to maintain healthy bone density.

Strontium’s ability to strengthen both the bone matrix and skeletal density makes it an important part of any bone-building regimen.

Ultra Strontium was formulated to*:

• Provide Musculoskeletal Support
• Provide Bone Support
• Increase Skeletal Strength
• Help Maintain Bone Density

The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of both kidneys. They produce hormones that help regulate metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, and response to stress. When the body is chronically stressed, cortisol levels stay elevated.  This longer term elevation can have a number of deleterious effects on the body.

We also know that celiac disease and gluten sensitivity can lead to a number of key nutrient deficiencies. These deficiencies can influence adrenal function as many are necessary for proper adrenal function.

Adrena-Calm is formulated with a unique blend of herbs and nutrients, designed to support the rejuvenation of the adrenal glands.

Research has shown that key nutrients such as Vitamin C, B2, B5, and B6 are critical to adrenal health and cortisol regulation.

Additional research has also indicated that certain nutrients are required for the synthesis of the important catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, L-Tyrosine, iron, copper, and magnesium.

Adrena-calm contains key ingredients:

• Vitamin C
• Vitamin B2
• Vitamin B5
• Vitamin B6
• N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine
• Eleuthero
• American Ginseng
• Ashwagandha
• Rhodiola
• Licorice Root

Does Not Contain: Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Non-GMO ingredients, Artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. This product is Vegan/Vegetarian safe.

Suggested Use: Take 3 capsules per day with meals, best if taken in divided doses, or as suggested by your healthcare practitioner.

All three omega fatty acids play a role in overall health, but achieving a proper balance of omega 3 fatty acids to omega 6 and 9 fatty acids is critical to maintaining optimal health.

Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity are more susceptible to omega-3 deficiency due to challenges with absorption in the small intestine. I recommend that those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity be particularly motivated to test levels, keep an eye out for signs of deficiency, include omega-3 rich foods in their diet and take a high quality omega-3 supplement. A focus on omega-3s will help to keep the important omega 3:6 ratio in check to manage inflammation and prevent disease.

• Support cardiovascular health
• Support healthy brain function and cognition
• Maintain a healthy inflammatory response
• Support critical brain development of a fetus during pregnancy

Nutritional Deficiencies Caused By Gluten Can Impact Thyroid Function

It’s clear that there is a link between celiac disease (and NCGS) and thyroid dysfunction, and that a gluten free diet can help manage thyroid conditions. However, there is another important link to discuss. That is that many of the nutritional deficiencies caused by gluten can impact the thyroid and its functions. Below are some common malabsorption-related deficiencies found in those with celiac disease and NCGS and how they may impact the thyroid:

• Iodine: Iodine is a key player in thyroid hormone health and studies have shown that proper levels can support thyroid function. One study looked at pregnant women in particular, who, like those with celiac disease, are commonly deficient. The study found that a daily supplement containing 150 μg of iodine improved the iodine status from mild iodine deficiency to iodine sufficiency, which had a positive impact on thyroid hormone levels.
• Selenium: Selenium has been implicated in the development of autoimmune thyroiditis and many studies have shown that selenium supplementation may decrease thyroid antibodies in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.
• Iron: Adequate iron status is required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones and research has shown that patients with subclinical hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis frequently have lower serum (blood) iron concentration and a higher prevalence of iron deficiency than do healthy controls. In fact, low iron stores may contribute to symptom persistence in patients treated for hypothyroidism in 5–10 % of whom symptoms remain despite being treated with levothyroxine (synthetic thyroid hormone).
• Vitamin D: The influence of vitamin D on autoimmune thyroid disease has been widely studied. Most of the existing data support a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and a greater tendency for development of antibodies linked to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, and/or postpartum thyroiditis.
• Magnesium – this mineral helps your body make TSH (the hormone made in your brain that tells your thyroid gland to make T4).
• Zinc – like magnesium, this mineral also helps your body make TSH

One of the Most Common Nutritional Deficiencies in the U.S., Vitamin D Deficiency Can Reduce Your Immune Function, Cause Muscle Pain, Heart Disease, Cancer, & More

For those with gluten issues, vitamin D deficiency can exacerbate and contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases. Unlike other vitamins, the majority of Vitamin D is not acquired from eating adequate food. Most of our vitamin D comes directly from sunshine. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the US is largely a result of the following:

• people working indoors
• avoiding sunshine out of fear of skin cancer
• living in northern climates (see map)
• overuse of sunscreen

Those at risk for vitamin D deficiency include:

• The elderly
• Those who live in northern latitudes (see map)
• Dark skinned individuals
• Those who avoid sun exposure
• Those who use sunscreen (SPF >8 inhibits vitamin D synthesis by the skin. This includes the use of cosmetics and lotions that contain SPF ingredients)
• Those who work indoors
• Individuals who wear long clothing such as robes or head protection
• Breast fed infants whose mothers are vitamin D deficient
• People who are obese
• Those who have had gastric bypass and gall bladder surgery
• Those with inflammatory bowel diseases
• Those with celiac disease and gluten intolerance
• Those who take cholesterol medications
• Those who take steroid medications
• Chronic antibiotic use

What are the Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency?

• Muscle pain
• Muscle weakness
• Poor immune function (susceptibility to infection)
• Eczema (skin rash)
• Acne
• Chronic infections (sinus)
• Poor growth in children
• Bowing of the legs (in children – AKA rickets)

Additionally, vitamin D helps regulate a number of vital body functions. Deficiency has been linked to bone loss, muscle atrophy, autoimmune disease, multiple forms of cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The diagram below illustrates many of these functions.

From: Holick, Michael. Am J Clin Nutr 2004;79:362–71.

Are you at risk?

New research on vitamin D shows that the average person needs between 2,000 and 6,000 IU of vitamin D per day! Many nutritionist recommend large amounts of dairy as a source of vitamin D. Unfortunately, trying to get your vitamin D by eating dairy is the equivalent of trying to spit out a forest fire! Protect yourself by getting adequate sunshine daily. Have your doctor measure your 25 OH D levels (vitamin D blood test) to assess you for deficiency.

Silver has a very old history of medical use (like 6,000 years old), and it has been used extensively for a variety of medical purposes. According to research and historical findings, silver has been used for thousands of years to prevent microbial infections, and it has played an important role in helping with wounds and minor injuries. 

Did you know? Silver was the most important antimicrobial agent available before the introduction of antibiotics! ​​

Ultra Silver Liquid is a formula composed of pure silver complexed with purified water. This incredibly powerful, non-toxic form of silver has broad-spectrum effects and it helps supports the immune system.*

Ultra Silver uses special, advanced technology that allows the silver to be permanently distributed into the structure of water. The silver becomes a part of the water molecule permanently so it will not fall out of solution or suspension. This technology is distinct from traditional colloidal (ionic) silvers that suspend larger particles of silver with oxygen molecules, which may result in them falling out of solution and accumulating in body tissues. Ultra Silver utilizes a technological breakthrough allowing for the production of a silver particle small enough to enter a single red blood cell, enabling the silver to travel through capillaries, the tiniest blood vessels in the body. It ultimately gets excreted, leaving behind no harmful metabolites.

The pure silver in Ultra Silver has been shown to provide a host of health benefits, such as:

• Supporting a Healthy Inflammatory Response
• Helps Support the Immune System
• Provides Gastrointestinal Support

Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take 5 mL orally per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
