Calcium/Magnesium Complex (SynerSup)
The body is constantly using calcium from
the diet to replace old bone tissue with new tissue.
Calcium is required in the body to maintain strong,
hard, healthy bones. A diet deficient in calcium may
lead to osteoporosis in later life. Magnesium is
also an essential mineral needed for healthy bones. Not
only is it an important component of bone, but it aids
in the absorption of calcium into the body. Other
critical vitamins and minerals for healthy bones
contained in Nature’s Sunshine’s Calcium/Magnesium
Complex are manganese, phosphorus, zinc, copper and
vitamin D, which increases the amount of calcium
deposited in the bone.
|
|
Therapeutic Use

and treatment of calcium deficiencies and osteoporosis.
Also contains magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese

Capsicum (Capsicum annuum)
Capsicum contains a compound called
capsaicin, which contributes to its heat. It is
considered a vaso-stimulant, helping to support the flow
of blood to the periphery, and can be of assistance when
there are cold hands and feet. It is also anti-spasmodic
and carminative (an agent that relieves flatulence),
making it useful in cases of flatulent
dyspepsia/indigestion when there is no inflammation
present.
As well as its use internally, Capsicum
is sometimes used externally, made into a poultice, to
help relieve joint pain.
|
|
Therapeutic Use
Used traditionally to help maintain a
healthy cardiovascular system. Capsicum (cayenne) works
by helping to maintain peripheral circulation and
provides relief to people suffering from cold
extremities. It may also relieve symptoms of flatulent
dyspepsia without inflammation.

Each ‘preservative free’ capsule contains
475mg of Capsicum annuum fruit powder.

Cascara Sagrada (Rhamnus purshianus)
The active components of Cascara that has
been found to contribute to its laxative action are
called anthraquinone glycosides. These phytochemicals
cause a largely local effect, mainly assisting the
peristaltic action of the colon, and secondarily causing
some accumulation of fluid in the intestinal lumen (or
inner space). It is these that contribute to this herb’s
effectiveness in the relief of constipation.

|
Therapeutic Use
Temporary relief of occasional
constipation and can be useful during a very short-term
cleanse regimen.

Each ‘preservative free’ capsule contains
400mg of Rhamnus purshianus bark powder.

CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
CoEnzyme Q10 is a vital nutrient for many
biochemical reactions including the regulation of
conversion of food into energy. This creation of energy
is vital to our cells, as energy production begins in
the individual cell. CoQ10 works in the mitochondria of
the cells and is a natural enzyme required in the
production of energy within each cell.
CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is also an
antioxidant and free radical scavenger that naturally
occurs in the human body but diminishes with age. It is
found in all cells and muscles and is essential for the
formation of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is
needed to produce energy at a cellular level.

Supplementation of CoQ10 may help to
support heart health, energy levels and assist recovery
following exercise. CoQ10 may also reduce oxidation of
LDL cholesterol.
