Betaine HCL
● May support healthy digestion, protein metabolism, and balanced stomach acid levels in aging adults (370).
● May support reduced prevalence of obesity via improved gut microbiome activity (371).
Organic Turmeric
● May support antioxidant, cardio-protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, nephro-protective, hepato-protective, immunomodulatory, and anti-rheumatic effects (123).
● May reduce inflammation via decreases of inflammatory markers such as c-reactive protein, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor, and decreased cytokine production (123).
● May support joint health via decreases in connective tissue inflammation and improved pain in individuals with osteoarthritis (122).
● May support blood sugar regulation via increased pancreatic beta cell function and improved insulin sensitivity (121).
● May support cardiovascular and liver health via reduced accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE), reduced lipid peroxidation, and improved vascular function.
● Curcumin may exhibit an antioxidant activity via scavenging of superoxide anion (∙O2−∙) and hydroxyl radicals (∙OH) (scavenging of inflammation molecules) (118,119).
● Curcumin may modulate breast carcinogenesis through its effect on cell cycle and proliferation, apoptosis, senescence, cancer spread and angiogenesis (119).
● May target cancer growth pathways such as the NFkB, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, MAPK and JAK/STAT, and may suppress tumor growth (119).
Organic Tomato
● May support prostate health, cardiovascular support, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemoprotective properties against cancer (191,192, 193).
● May support healthy immune response via scavenging of free radicals and reduced oxidative damage of DNA. (191,192,193).
● May support immune health via carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes, apoptosis (cancer cell death), anti-proliferation, pro-differentiation, and anti-lipid peroxidation activities. (193).
● May support immune health via reduced phosphorylation of anti-oncogenes such as p53 and Rb. It also inhibits G0/G1 and S-phase of the cell cycle (193).
Pepsin
● May support healthy digestion of nutrients and improved levels of stomach acid (372).
