Nutritional supplement for immune and metabolism support
Manganese Gluconate
Manganese is essential to all forms of life. Manganese plays an essential role in many cellular processes,
including lipid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism, and is used by a diverse array of enzymes 1 .
Pangamic acid
Also known as B15, it can be found in rice bran, brewer’s yeast, barley, wheat seeds, oats, and core. To
be the gluconic acid ester of dimethylglycine, the latter compound being an intermediate in the choline
cycle, a metabolic cycle involved in energy transformation. It is capable of donating methyl groups in
certain metabolic synthetic processes occurring in the body 2 .
Betaine HCl
Betaine is found in microorganisms, plants, and animals and is a significant component of many foods,
including wheat, shellfish, spinach, and sugar beets. It is rapidly absorbed and utilized as an osmolyte 3
and source of methyl groups, thereby helping maintain liver, heart, and kidney health. Betaine can
reduce the elevated serum homocysteine concentrations associated with mild or severe
hyperhomocystinuria via the methionine cycle and may play a role in epigenetics and athletic
performance 4 .
Sodium Diacetate
Sodium diacetate is sodium acetate with a slight flavor of acetic acid. It is used as a sour agent and pH
regulator. Its related metabolism of acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) confers numerous metabolic
functions, including energy production, lipid synthesis, and protein acetylation 5 .
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 1- 3 capsules, 2-3 times daily before meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.
SIDE EFFECTS
No adverse side effects reported.
STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
