CanPrev L-Theanine 90vegetable capsules--NPN: 80031960 L-Theanine When you’re looking for a supplement that helps you relax without making you feel drowsy, then CanPrev’s L-Theanine just might be the answer. L-theanine is an amino acid found in green and black tea and commonly used as a natural stress and anxiety reliever. In addition, it can help to improve concentration and focus without making you feel sleepy. As a psychoactive substance, L-Theanine can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, directly working its magic on the central nervous system. L-theanine is especially beneficial for anxiety sufferers because it increases dopamine and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors in the brain. GABA is a chemical receptor that reduces the activity of neurons that it binds to. In other words, it helps slow down the feelings of fear and anxiety when neurons become over excited. CanPrev’s L-Theanine provides an impressive 250 mg of pure L-theanine along with 20 mg of magnesium bisglycinate to promote a state of relaxation and reduced anxiety without sedation so that you can stay focused and productive. A product that soothes an anxious mind and at the same time helps you stay focused and productive Sounds like a win-win situation from CanPrev! Learn More

CanPrev Cold-Pro Immune Formula 90vegetable capsules--NPN: 80031572 Cold-Pro Immune Formula A common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that includes your nose and throat. Symptoms usually appear one to three days after exposure and include the typical sore throat, runny or congested nose, cough, sneezing, low-grade fever and mild body aches. A fever higher than 39.4 C distinguishes a cold from a different type of viral infection. Your immune system is the first defence against infectious organisms. It’s made up of a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to create an immune response. Most of the time it does its job, but sometimes a weak link can allow for a virus or other infectious organisms to creep in and lead to illness. Cold-ProTM Immune Formula is designed to maintain and strengthen the immune system, aid in the symptomatic relief of colds and flus and speed recovery. It contains seven potent, immune boosting nutrients plus antiviral and antibacterial herbs. Research shows that each ingredient in Cold-ProTM is extremely effective on its own and combining them has produced a synergistic and powerful immune formulation. Learn More

CanPrev Pro-Biotik 15B Multi Strain Probiotic 60vegetable capsules--NPN: 80020819 Pro-Biotik 15B Did you know that 70 to 80 percent of your immunity resides within your gut? The idea of ingesting live bacteria to keep you healthy might seem a bit hard to swallow, but studies show that probiotics can help resolve the uncomfortable effects of bowel and intestinal upset and keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy. Our digestive tract contains millions of beneficial bacteria to help with digestion and protect us from invaders. If the bacteria population becomes depleted, there will not be enough friendly bacteria on the job to keep you healthy - leading to issues like pain, cramping and diarrhoea. Approximately 100 trillion microorganisms made up of more than 500 species already live in a normal, healthy colon. There is “good” bacteria as well as “bad”, but in order for them to work together, they need to be balanced. Lifestyle choices can throw the balance off - a poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, overuse of antibiotics - all can tip the scales and let bad bacteria take over. Good bacteria patrol the gut (gastrointestinal tract) and keep harmful microorganisms in line by helping with food digestion and nutrient absorption. They also play a role in maintaining a healthy immune system and synthesize vitamins and minerals. CanPrev’s Pro-BiotikTM 15B is a shelf-stable probiotic capsule formula containing five critical probiotic species naturally found in the human intestinal tract, including bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Each species is represented at optimal levels to enhance the natural gut flora and provide a health benefit. Pro-Biotik 15B is completely shelf stable for ease of use anytime, anywhere - no refrigeration is required. At the time of manufacture, CanPrev’s ProbiotikTM 15B contains forty billion CFU’s (colony forming units - a measure of friendly bacteria activity). By the time it reaches its expiry date it is still guaranteed to have an activity level of 15 billion CFU’s - now that’s impressive! Keep a bottle of ProbiotikTM 15B in your bag, knowing with confidence that you have a probiotic that works for you, wherever life takes you. Learn More

CanPrev Prenatal Multi 90vegetable capsules--NPN: 80030427 Prenatal Multi There’s a lot to consider when you’re planning a pregnancy and especially when you get the happy news that you’re pregnant. Before you even conceive, doctors recommend taking a good quality prenatal multivitamin like CanPrev’s Prenatal Multi. Prenatal multivitamins are different from your regular multis because they’re specially formulated to prepare your body to support the developing nutritional needs of mother and fetus. They contain more folic acid to help prevent spina bifida (defect of the spine) and anencephaly (defect of the brain) that can happen early in pregnancy when the neural tube, which becomes the brain, and the spine doesn’t fuse properly. Prenatal vitamins also contain more iron than standard adult multis. Iron supports fetal growth and development and helps prevent anemia, a condition where the blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Some research also suggests that prenatal vitamins decrease the risk of having a baby who is small for his or her gestational age. CanPrev’s Prenatal Multi is specially formulated with nutrients critical for pregnant and nursing women. It provides 24 vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, calcium, magnesium and a gentle form of iron to support the developing nutritional needs of both mother and fetus. Prenatal Multi helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily, prior to and during early pregnancy and aids in the development of tissues, red blood cells and bones. Learn More

CanPrev Curcumin-Pro 60vegetable capsules--NPN: 80036315 Curcumin-Pro Curcumin is a phytochemical derived from the spice tumeric. For thousands of years, tumeric has been one of the most commonly prescribed Ayurvedic remedies to treat arthritis-related inflammation. Curcuminoids in tumeric slow the enzymes that cause inflammation and give the spice it’s bright yellow colour. Curcuminoids are also responsible for tumeric’s powerful antioxidant capabilities. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals (damaged rogue cells that debilitate more cells as they circulate) that go on to prompt the start of aging and disease in the body. Human clinical trials have shown that the body’s absorption rate of curcumin when taken orally is low. To compensate, phosphatidylcholine from naturally-sourced lecithin and bromelain have been added to the formula to enhance absorption and support curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties. Learn More

CanPrev Fibre Flow 90vegetable capsules--NPN: 80027094 Fibre Flow Sure, we like to make bowel jokes every now and then, but sometimes we need to get serious about our digestive health. Once you’ve chewed and swallowed your food, it can take days for it to make its way through your system and be eliminated as waste. Chances are you never have to give constipation a thought, but on days you do, CanPrev’s Fibre FlowTM Natural Laxative can help. Certain medications, not drinking enough water or resisting the urge to empty the bowels can make stools hard and dry or difficult to pass. That’s when a little assistance is needed to move things along, even better when it comes in a winning formula like Fibre FlowTM Natural Laxative. All bulking ingredients in Fibre FlowTM capsules contain an innovative combination of plant and fruit extracts readily found in nature and are safe to use and easy on your system. Daily elimination is best, but if it’s been longer than three days, try Fibre FlowTM a gentle formulation developed for the relief of irregularity and constipation. It is a completely natural, bulk-forming laxative that helps to restore regularity and natural bowel contractions by increasing the volume and water content of the stool. It is made with a uniquely processed, freeze-dried kiwifruit extract from New Zealand that retains a high degree of the naturally-occurring enzymes found in the fruit.

CanPrev Antioxidant Network 60vegetable capsules--NPN: 80027935 Antioxidant Network We come across the words antioxidants and free radicals almost daily but do we really know what they are and how they affect us? We are exposed to many sources of oxidative stress from free radicals through ultraviolet light, viruses and diseases that affect the heart, eyes, memory and mood. Antioxidants are essential for maintaining good health in today’s polluted world. Antioxidants are a select group of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that help protect the body’s cells from free radical damage. The oxygen we breathe helps us metabolize fats, proteins and carbohydrates for energy but it becomes a highly reactive atom when it enters our bodies. It’s also full of pollutants and toxins like cigarette smoke. Oxygen and its volatile compounds cause a process called oxidation and prompt molecules to lose electrons, turning them into free radicals. These free radicals go on to rob electrons from other molecules, creating more free radicals as they go. Your cells and DNA become damaged, leaving you at risk for various degenerative diseases and premature aging. Antioxidants like those contained in CanPrev’s Antioxidant NetworkTM help to neutralize free radicals. Antioxidant NetworkTM is a synergistic combination of antioxidants that provide ongoing protection against free radical damage, keeping oxidative stress at bay. They become “electron donors” to unstable free radicals, making them complete cells again. Antioxidant NetworkTM contains N-Acetylcysteine, a precursor to the formation of Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant recycler. It also contains mixed tocopherols, a family of vitamin E compounds that act as fat-soluble antioxidants and especially support the immune and cardiovascular systems. These two key ingredients along with Coenzyme Q10, DL-Alpha lipoic acid, green tea and zinc provide a quick response to the first signs of free radical activity, protecting your cells from degeneration and disease.

CanPrev Blood Sugar Support 120vegetable capsules--NPN:80043574 Blood Sugar Support We all have blood glucose (sugar) that courses through our veins and supplies our cells with much needed energy. But there’s no sugarcoating the fact that consistently high blood glucose levels can silently cause cholesterol to build up inside the blood vessels (atherosclerosis) and damage organs, leaving us vulnerable to a heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, vision loss and nerve damage. Not everyone knows they’re at risk, monitors their blood glucose or has an easy time keeping their blood glucose balanced. But everyone does have access to products that can help. CanPrev’s Blood Sugar Support, a comprehensive daily formula containing herbs, antioxidants and extracts has been shown to support balanced blood sugar levels and counteract oxidative stress. As you breathe in oxygen, your cells produce energy and form highly reactive molecules called free radicals and oxidative stress occurs. When we don’t have enough antioxidants (molecules that neutralize free radicals) in our bodies that we get from certain vitamins and minerals, free radicals can go on to damage vital cells and leave the door open to start many debilitating diseases, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Blood Sugar Support contains 200 milligrams of the potent antioxidant DL-Alpha lipoic acid and can help neutralize free radicals that cause oxidative cell damage. Other antioxidants in Blood Sugar Support like grape seed extract can help counteract oxidative damage to the eyes and help relieve symptoms of swelling in the lower legs related to non-complicated chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), both common health concerns in diabetics. Another concern diabetics have to be vigilant of is Insulin resistance. Having too much blood glucose in your system puts insulin production into overdrive and before you know it, you’re insulin resistant - your cells no longer roll out the welcome mat when insulin tries to escort some friendly carbohydrate energy inside. Ingredients like gymnema extract, Chinese cassia cinnamon, fenugreek, and chromium in Blood Sugar Support help to promote healthy glucose metabolism and encourage your cells to accept insulin and carbohydrates back in. Additionally, magnesium, zinc and chromium tag team to help produce and store adequate amounts of insulin and help you burn up your excess carbohydrates and fats. Let Blood Sugar Support help get your blood glucose levels back on track. There’s nothing sweeter than living the balanced life you want. Learn More

CanPrev Adrenal-Pro 120vegetable capsules--NPN: 80026948 Adrenal-Pro Recharge Yourself Your adrenal glands are two triangular shaped glands that sit at the top of your kidneys and secrete hormones in your body. The adrenal cortex, or outer part of the gland, produces cortisol which helps regulate metabolism and your body’s response to stress, and aldosterone which helps regulate blood pressure. The adrenal medulla, or inner part produces adrenaline, which is responsible for triggering the “fight or flight” response in your body in times of stress. When your adrenal glands aren’t secreting the right amount of hormones to keep levels elevated, you may need to seek support. Some signs of Adrenal Fatigue include low energy, body aches, low blood pressure, unexplained weight loss, lightheadedness and skin discolouration or hyperpigmentation. Your adrenal glands can be worked overtime, too. Chronic stress puts a high demand on the adrenals and taxes them to the point of exhaustion. They then run out of energy and resources to meet the body’s needs. Learn More
