Water-Soluble Vitamins

Water soluble vitamins are those that are dissolved in water and readily absorbed into tissues for immediate use.

Because they are not stored in the body, they need to be replenished regularly in our diet.  Any excess of water-soluble vitamins is quickly excreted in urine and will rarely accumulate to toxic levels.


The water-soluble vitamins include the B-complex group and vitamin C, each of which offers the following health benefits:


Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps to release energy from foods and is important in maintaining nervous system function

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) helps promote good vision and healthy skin and is also important in converting the amino acid tryptophan into niacin

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) aids in digestion, metabolism, and normal enzyme function as well as promoting healthy skin and nerves.

Vitamin B5 (Panthothenic Acid) improves energy, aids in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, helps lower cholesterol levels all while promoting cardiovascular health.  It can also reduce stress, improve skin and decrease nasal congestion and inflammation

Vitamin B6: (Pyridoxine) aids in protein metabolism and production of red blood cell, insulin, and hemoglobin.  It can help improve cognitive health, relieve mood swings and combat anxiety and panic attacks.  In addition, can relieve joint and muscle pain and promote healthier skin and nails.

Vitamin B 7 (Biotin) helps release energy from carbohydrates and aids in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates from food.

Vitamin B9 (Folate or Folic Acid) also aids in protein metabolism and red blood cell formation and may reduce the risk of neural tube birth defects.

Vitamin B-12 also known as cobalamin is essential for many roles in your body.  Its main function is to help cells form and metabolize properly.  It also plays a role in brain function supporting neuro and cell formation.  It is necessary for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation and therefore may aid in prevention/ treatment of anemia by increasing red blood cell production.  It is good for increasing energy, sleep, mood, immunity, hair, skin and nails. B12 is good for Vegans!!

B-Complex; this group of B vitamins converts carbs into energy and also breaks down fats and proteins.  Our B complex features five vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and B6 ((pyridoxine).  A vitamin B IV can lessen the severity of symptoms related to several health issues.  These include migraines, depression, insomnia, muscle weakness, indigestion, and more. Can also improve metabolic process, improve health of your skin and support overall brain function.

Vitamin C:  (Ascorbic Acid)   is a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system.  It is central to iron absorption and collagen synthesis.  It aids in wound healing and bone formation while improving overall immune function.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid Is an organic compound found in all human cells?  Made inside the mitochondrion.  Helps enzymes turn nutrients into energy.  Powerful antioxidant.  Can help slow disorders characterized by memory loss

Co Q10 is a favorite among athletes seeking a natural boost of energetic power, CoQ10 provides an enrgy boost before and during prolonged periods of physical activity.  Formula: Coenzyme Q10

Vitamin D: helps in the regulation and absorption of calcium and phosphate in the body-nutrients needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy.  Aids in boosting the immune system and fights inflammation-fights off harmful bacteria and viruses. Aids in regulation of blood pressure, blood sugar balance and increased sex drive

Glutathione

One of the most abundant antioxidants in your body.  Protects cells from free radical damage and helps improve cellular function at all levels (immune hormone level, mitochondrial function) maintaining adequate glutathione levels is not only critical for wellness but also aids in the recovery process.  It can increase energy, decrease fatigue and help improve damaged skin. GIV

Magnesium:  this mineral is essential for overall health.  It plays critical role in reactions in our body, including muscle and nerve function.  Your body needs s Magnesium to help muscles contract, promote healthy brain function, and keep your heartbeat nice and strong. Some research also shows can help manage a variety of conditions, from type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure to migraine headaches 

Mineral Blend: glutamine/arginine/ornithine/lysine/citrulline/B12/Carnitine: provides cell protection from free radicals. Replenishes key electrolytes.  Transports up to 60x its own weight in nutrients directly into cells.  Helps enhances body’s ability to detoxify and remove harmful compounds.  Supports restful sleep and supports cognitive health. 

Multi-Trace Mineral-6:  Magnesium ChlorideHexahydrate/Calcium Chloride/Zinc Chloride/Manganese/ Copper/Selenium    find info on

Vitamin Acetylcysteine (NAC); essential for making the powerful antioxidant Glutathione and also helps regulate it. It helps with mental health by improving overall mood and decreases out stress levels.  It can also relieve respiratory symptoms.

Vitamin Calcium Chloride: coming soon

Vitamin Magnesium Chloride:  is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in our overall health.  Plays role in regulating the central nervous system, and vital for muscle contraction.  It can help with lowering blood pressure, decreasing cholesterol levels, reducing inflammatory markers and protecting against migraines. 

Vitamin Calcium Gluconate is essential for proper bone health-aids in the prevention of osteoporosis.  Promotes weight loss-diets rich in calcium can promote fat loss and use of fat as fuel through calcium gated channels. Can be helpful with cardiac function and preventing kidney stones

Tri –Amino Blend:  (Arginine/Citrulline/Ornithine ) Can be used by athletes to help fights fatigue, increase endurance and reduce muscle recovery time.  It also promotes cardiovascular health, improves circulation, increases vasodilation and reduces blood pressure. 

MIC Lipo (Methionine Inositol Choline): reduces stored fat and enhances metabolism improving fat burning. Increases energy levels. Preserves lean body tissue muscle. Improves liver detoxification. Improves mood and mental clarity

Selenium: coming soon

Vitamin Zinc:  include zinc in an IV if you need immune system support or are fighting off a cold.  It can help reduce oxidative stress, accelerates wound healing,  improves  metabolism. Promotes mental health

Taurine: is an essential amino acid that is essential in metabolism and digestion.  In addition, it promotes cardiovascular health, increases energy and fights fatigue, improves mental function, increases endurance and repairs muscles, and helps reduce body response to stress and adds in immunity.

Lysine: is an amino acid that can help support gut health, may decrease the outbreak and frequency of oral and genital herpes, reduces anxiety, boosts athletic performance, promotes wound healing, and decreases acne.

Glycine:  is an amino acid that is critical and needed to produce the powerful antioxidant glycine and the main amino acid in collagen.  It can help improve both sleep and mood overall including helping with anxiety and depression

Lipo Plus preserves lean muscle tissue and promotes body fat reduction.  It can also boost metabolism and support proper hormone function and a healthy immune system

NAD+ is derived from Niacin (vitamin B3) and is found in each of your cells mitochondria.

NAD + studies have demonstrated improved blood pressure and liver health as well as improving the body’s response to stress, exercise endurance, epigenetic regulation, NAD+ also has anti-aging, energy production, and anti-inflammatory properties. 

NAD+ levels naturally decline with aging and chronic disease.  A decline in NAD + levels is closely related to the various metabolic disorders, including diabetes and fatty liver disease and leading to an increase in DNA damaging reactive oxygen species.
