7 Keto DHEA

7 Keto DHEA is a natural metabolite, or conversion product of DHEA. It’s a way to get the potential health benefits of DHEA without the associated risks, because 7 Keto DHEA, unlike DHEA proper, can’t be used by the body to make sex hormones, which have been shown to present a cancer risk. While our bodies produce DHEA naturally, from about age 20 production begins to decline, and this decline has been linked to diminished adrenal function and lack of energy, amongst other things. DHEA balances out excessive cortisol production, which is also known as the stress hormone. 7 Keto DHEA safely enhances immune function, memory, adrenal function and energy levels. It has also been shown to have thermogenic properties, increasing resting metabolism and helping with fat loss.

Pantothenic Acid

Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, is an essential nutrient required to sustain human life. It has been shown to increase cellular energy production and protect against oxidative cellular damage by increasing intracellular glutathione production. Pantothenic acid also improves wound healing and promotes a healthy inflammatory response. Adequate intake is necessary for the metabolism and synthesis of protein, carbohydrates and fats, for the functioning of the adrenal glands, and for proper immune function. Symptoms of pantothenic acid deficiency include depression, frequent infection, fatigue and sleep disturbances.

Ecklonia Cava

Naturally derived from a species of brown algae found off the coast of Korea, ecklonia cava is a potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, serving to scavenge free radicals, chelate metals and donate electrons. It is a neuroprotective, potentially enhancing memory by increasing neurotransmitter levels. Ecklonia cava also has anti-bacterial properties, and is believed to function in wound healing processes, cell wall construction and vascular health.

Potassium aspartate

Potassium is a naturally occurring element found in many fruits, vegetables and meats. It is necessary to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It is also essential to cellular function, especially for brain and nerve cells, helping them communicate effectively. Potassium helps regulate osmotic pressure, keeping your cells ‘charged’ and the cell membrane strong. Potassium aspartate is a highly bioavailable and absorbable form of potassium.

Magnesium Aspartate

Magnesium is a naturally occurring nutrient essential to human life and cellular health. It maintains cellular membrane stability, and is required in order for your cells to be able to make and use energy. It also regulates neuromuscular, cardiovascular, immune and hormonal functions. The incidence of magnesium deficiency is disturbingly common, with up to 68% of the American population failing to meet the minimum recommended daily allowance. Magnesium deficiency is associated with a need for increased oxygen during exercise – athletes with low muscle magnesium levels are likely to use more energy and tire more quickly than those with adequate magnesium levels. Deficiency has also been associated with asthma, diabetes and osteoperosis.

B complex

B vitamins are naturally occurring nutrients found in many foods and important for cellular energy and healthy metabolism. B vitamins also help maintain healthy muscle tone, support immune and nervous system function, and promote cell growth and division. They may also help alleviate stress, anxiety and depression. Our B complex contains all eight water-soluble B vitamins, including vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid), B12 (cobalamin), and B5 (pantothenic acid).

Germanium Sesquioxide

Germanium sesquioxide is a naturally occurring organic trace element found in virtually all foods in minute quantities. It has been shown to be an immune enhancer, antioxidant, and to aid in heavy metal detoxification. It is not to be confused with germanium dioxide, which can have toxic effects on the body. Ignite Naturals uses only the highest quality organic germanium sequioxide, manufactured in the USA.
