Glutamine

The NBI Glutamine product contains pure L-glutamine, an amino acid important for blood sugar regulation, connective tissue and immune system support and intestinal health. Glutamine may also support proper healing after surgery and promote healthy immune function. L-Glutamine is the single most utilized amino acid in the body. There are many benefits of L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine can stimulate muscle production to help body builders grow muscle and everyone maintain muscle and strength with ageing. Decreased strength is a major cause of disabling falls and fractures in the elderly. Glutamine is also the preferred energy source for cells of the intestines, so it can help maintain gut health. It’s also used extensively by the kidneys for acid-base balance and by immune cells that are fighting infections. The benefits of L-Glutamine have also been shown in people who have suffered burns, injury and trauma; in people on chemotherapy for cancer treatment; and in those who are recovering from surgery. In one study, doctors administering L-Glutamine noted faster recovery time and a quicker discharge from intensive care units than patients not taking L-Glutamine. Taking a high-quality Glutamine powder helps optimize health and has been shown in studies to have many benefits.

NattoPine

Formulated by physicians from Harvard, Cornell, MIT and Bastyr, NattoPine contains a unique combination of nattokinase and pine park extract. Studies show these nutrients help promote and maintain healthy blood clotting and circulation, and decrease damaging free radicals. With 3650 fibrinolytic units per serving, NattoPine is the highest-potency nattokinase available and the only one shown in a clinical trial to reduce blood clot formation.NattoPine's ingredients were shown in a clinical trial to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis by and leg swelling. In the clinical trial nearly 10% of people not taking the nattokinase and pine bark extract combination experienced a deep vein thrombosis versus none of those taking the dietary supplement. And compared to those not taking the nutrients, people taking nattokinase and pine bark extract had a 27% decrease in risk of leg swelling (edema).

Osteo-K

Formulated by physicians from Harvard, Cornell, MIT and Bastyr, Osteo-K is the only product to contain ingredients approved for bone health by both the Ministry of Health in Japan and the US FDA. The Archives of Internal Medicine confirms that 45 mg of MK4™ daily can decrease fractures more than 80%. Calcium and vitamin D only decrease fractures 16%. Osteo-K's ingredients--MK4, calcium and vitamin D—provides the best possible bone protection in a dietary supplement. More than eight studies support Osteo-K's ingredients.

FerroSolve

Formulated by physicians from Harvard, Cornell, MIT and Bastyr, NBI's FerroSolve contains a patented, amino acid chelated form of iron that is highly absorbable—up to 75% absorbable—and does not cause abdominal discomfort. FerroSolve’s formula delivers 45 mg of iron per capsule. This is the highest amount of any iron supplement. Iron has the longest and best described history among all the vitamins and mineral. Nearly all living organisms require iron. In people it has many crucial functions, including transporting oxygen throughout the body, producing cellular energy and creating hormones such as thyroid hormone, dopamine and epinephrine. Iron is also used to create DNA and to regulate the body’s antioxidant systems. Menstruating women are particularly at risk for iron deficiency because they lose blood each month during their periods. Up to twenty percent of women are at risk for a deficiency of iron, which can cause fatigue, sadness, learning difficulties, decreased memory, rapid heart rate. But not all iron supplements are the same. Most contain iron gluconate or iron sulfate. These forms can be difficult on the body and cause constipation and abdominal cramping. That’s why many women have difficulty taking iron supplements.
