Asthma and Stress

My life was severely affected by asthma and allergies. For a long time I suffered needlessly, not fully understanding the underlying causes of my condition. Later, I spent years learning everything that I could about natural treatments for asthma. What I found was both exhilarating and frustrating, because I knew how many people were suffering as well. I also learned painful lessons about the side-effects of medications. I put that information into my first book Reversing Asthma (now in its 13th printing). But for those who have never experienced an asthmatic attack, it can be terrifying. Read more at TONIC.com

Helps support normal bone health

Dietary Supplement

Osteo Support is progressively formulated with trademarked products for Soy Isoflavones, Ipriflavone (Ostivone TM), and Zinc. The formula also provides Osteoporosis preventing calcium, magnesium and boron.

  • Osteoclasts and osteoblasts are bone cells which breakdown older bone tissue and replace it with new tissue. Osteoclasts are responsible for excreting and acid that causes cellular bone breakdown and osteoblasts rebuild bone cells. The breakdown sequence is strongly initiated by compounds known as cytokines. Isoflavones, and particularly ipriflavone, work as powerful inhibitors of these cytokines, and therefore, help to maintain bone tissue and promote bone regeneration. Ipriflavone has been the subject of 60 clinical trials worldwide and has shown remarkable efficacy in maintaining healthy bone density. It is classified as a drug for preventing osteoporosis in Japan, Argentina and parts of Europe.
  • Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis (one of only three such health claims allowed under NLEA/DSHEA).
  • Magnesium is essential for good bone health working in tandem with Calcium.
  • Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that aids the the absorption and utilization of Calcium.
  • Vitamin K is required for the production of osteocalcin, a compound that helps to provide structure to bone tissue.
