Our products are clearly marked on the front panel. If the product has (d-alpha) it is a natural form of Vitamin E. If the product states that it is (dl-alpha), then it is a synthetic form of Vitamin E. If it has both, it is a mixed combination of both synthetic and natural Vitamin E.

When Vitamin E occurs naturally, it occurs as the "d" form only. Hence, natural Vitamin E always has a "d" designation alpha tocopherol. When Vitamin E is prepared synthetically, it contains about 50% "d" and 50% "l" molecular rotations. Hence, synthetic Vitamin E has a "dl" designation.

Natural Vitamin E is derived from plant sources such as soy. Our products contain many natural ingredients. The color variance you may see is just the normal variance that occurs in nature due to the season, etc. (We do not add anything to modify the natural color.)

CoQ-10 is synthesized in the liver from elements found in such foods as: (Per 3.5 oz) Sardines 6.4mg, Mackerel 4.3mg, Beef 3.1mg, Roasted peanuts 2.7mg, Organ meats 2.1mg, Roasted Pistachios 2.0mg, Spinach 1.0mg, Broccoli 0.9mg, Sweet Potato 0.4mg, Eggs 0.4mg, Soybean 0.2mg, and Potato 0.1mg.

CoQ10 provides quality antioxidant support, which is essential to cellular health. It is found in all vertebrates (animals with backbones), including man, and it is a vital component of energy production. The highest concentrations of CoQ-10 are found in the body where energy is needed the most, the heart, liver, kidneys and immune system. *

In humans, CoQ-10 levels peak at about 20 years of age, and decrease greatly with age. CoQ-10 has been extensively studied worldwide to investigate its role in the maintenance of cardiovascular and immunological health. The function is part of the cellular respiration comprising oxidative phosphorylation as electron-carrying coenzymes in the transport of electrons from organic substrates to oxygen esp. along the chain of reactions leading from the krebs cycle.*

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules in the body, which can destroy tissues by oxidizing cell membrane lipids and damaging DNA, the body's genetic material. Free radicals are produced through the body's normal process of metabolizing the air we breath and the food that we eat, as well as exposure to tobacco smoke, excess sunlight, and environmental pollutants. Antioxidants work in the body by neutralizing free radicals.*

Due to its natural ingredients, the color of a product may vary between different batches. Color changes may also be caused by change of season or location of where an ingredient is obtained. The variation in color has no effect on the product.

By utilizing extracts, scientists attempt to identify one or more chemicals from the herb they consider to be primarily responsible for specific effects or activities in the body. Standardized extracts contain a consistent level of specific ingredients in every batch.

Whole herbs, unlike extracts, may have some variability in ratios of specific ingredients from batch to batch. Growing conditions, weather, soil composition and harvest date are some of the factors that can influence a whole herb profile, just as they can influence the nutritional composition of most foods. However, whole herbs do offer the benefit of delivering all of the ingredients found naturally as part of the herbs.

Sundown provides both standardized and whole herbs to provide the consumers with the products that meet their needs the best.

We make both the whole herb and standardized extracts to meet the needs of our customers. Some customers believe that the whole herb is needed to get the best benefits. Others believe that only certain ingredients found in the herb are necessary for the best results.

Like all dietary supplements, this product should be taken as directed on the label.

Vitamin C is water-soluble.

The added ingredients are natural sources of vitamin C and bioflavonoids and are added as complementary ingredients to vitamin C.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral that is necessary for protein synthesis, which helps to regulate the production of cells in the body's immune system function.*

The RDI for vitamin C (Adults and children 4 or more years of age) is 60mg daily.

Selenium is an antioxidant and essential trace mineral which helps promote healthy immune system function.*
Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer.  However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.

Ginseng helps the body adapt to stress and to increase vitality.
