Optimal Vitamin D is a highly bioavailable vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), providing 5000 IU per softgel. Research suggests vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) as being the most important form in humans. Since we produce much of our natural vitamin D transdermally (through the skin) via sunlight exposure, it is imperative that oral supplementation of vitamin D come in the form of D3 as this is the most bioavailable form of vitamin D in a softgel, maximizing its absorption into the body.

Much of the vitamin D we obtain comes from direct exposure to sunlight, and spending a significant amount of time indoors (and away from sunlight) can lead to low levels of vitamin D in the body. Thus, supplementation with Optimal Vitamin D can help ensure users obtain adequate amounts of this key micronutrient.

Optimal DHEA 25 mg supplies 25mg of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) per capsule for the synthesis of important hormones and for a variety of potential physiological responses such as healthy aging, ongoing energy and vitality, and a balanced stress response, as well as muscle integrity and fat reduction.**

Certain situations can cause the body to slow its natural DHEA production, such as:

• Aging
• Emotional or physical stress
• Some medications
• Dieting or a vegetarian diet

Benefits of DHEA

• Weight management – DHEA supports healthy fat burning and thermogenesis (the process by which the body raises its temperature or energy output, helping you to burn off more calories). It also supports healthy blood sugar control.
• Menopause/Perimenopause support – Helps to lessen the symptoms women occasionally experience with reduced estrogen production. DHEA also encourages a sense of well being and supports bone health.
• Stress support – Physical and emotional stress can potentially interfere in the body’s natural production of DHEA. Supplementation may help maintain healthy levels of DHEA during these times by counteracting the effects of the stress hormone cortisol (produced by the adrenal glands).
• Medication treatment support – Can help support adrenal system during treatment with corticosteroid drugs.
• Healthy aging – Helps to maintain healthy levels of estrogen and testosterone as we age. It can help preserve vitality, bone /muscle health, and sexual health.

Pregnenolone is a precursor to hormones necessary for a variety of functions in the human body. Based on the body’s demands, pregnenolone can be converted into many hormones including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), progesterone, estrogens, testosterone, cortisol, and aldosterone. Cholesterol is the building block for pregnenolone, and it gets converted in many locations in the body including the adrenal glands, brain, skin, liver, and gonads (testes or ovaries). Some individuals may require additional supplementation due to aging, certain medications, and lifestyle factors, such as malnutrition, malabsorption, excessive exercise, vegetarian diets, stress, and sleep deprivation.* The hormones made in the body from pregnenolone may support healthy sexual hormone balance, a healthy stress response, healthy cognition and memory, healthy electrolyte balance, and balanced moods.*

Optimal Pregnenolone contains a patented controlled release technology designed to deliver pregnenolone continuously for 10 to 12 hours, avoiding spikes and surges found in other pregnenolone delivery systems. This delivery system more closely mimics the way pregnenolone is normally released within the body.

Benefits*:

• Supports healthy hormone balance
• Supports healthy adrenal function
• May support healthy cognitive function and memory
• May support a healthy stress response
• May support a balanced mood

Warning: Pregnenolone is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or lactating, or for those who have hormone-sensitive cancers. This product is not recommended for individuals with epilepsy or a history of seizures. Pregnenolone reduces the effectiveness of any drug that stimulates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors. Supplementation with pregnenolone should be monitored by a health-care practitioner.
