It does not. Our Cinnulin PF formula is made using a water extraction which eliminated any fat-soluble constituents like coumarin. Additionally, the type of cinnamon used in our supplement, Cinnamomum burmannii, has the lowest amount of coumarin so our yield for coumarin-free product is exceptional. If our product were not water-extracted, which is the case for the cinnamon spice you use in food, there would be remnants of coumarin in the product. We do, however, still test to ensure that there is no coumarin during the manufacturing process.

Consider our Super Osteo GOLD. It is our top of the line joint supplement geared at helping support the health of joints. It contains glucosamine and chondroitin, both of which have been shown to ease joint pain will potentially helping rebuild cartilage. There are also other nutrients in the formula geared at helping reduce inflammation, ease joint pain and provide antioxidants to the joints to help with toxins within the joints. If you are allergic to shellfish we also have a shellfish-free formula with Glucosamine and MSM called Osteo GM.

You are on the right track by taking vitamin D3. You also want to look at supporting your adrenals. Chronic fatigue is usually due to excessive
adrenal fatigue where no matter what you do, you cannot muster the energy because there is nothing there. Consider our American Ginseng formula. Ginseng is known for its ability to support the adrenals due to its adaptogenic ability. Because it is an herb that builds you, it may take
several weeks before you begin noticing benefits. If you decide to take American Ginseng, take it daily as the directions say and as time progresses, you may notice more sustainable energy.

Aside from taking supplements, make sure you are eating a primarily whole food diet. Processed and refined foods can leach nutrients from your body, leaving you more fatigued than you would have felt otherwise. Caffeine and sugar do the same.

Lastly, rest as often as you can. Chronic fatigue means that your body is beyond exhausted. Go to bed early and when you can, take naps in the middle of the day to restore your energy. Our bodies go into repair mode when we sleep.

If you are looking to support your liver, consider our Milk Thistle formula, which contains artichoke and dandelion to further help cleanse your blood and support the health of your liver. As for your lungs, we don't have anything that can directly support their health due to the fact that there isn't anything that reaches the lungs or bronchioles. If something did, that would lead to more health issues.

What you can look into however, are supplements that may support the health of your tissues overall as well as reduce free radical damage throughout your body. Many health issues are due to oxidation or free radical damage taking place in the body. The more vegetables, fruits and in some cases, antioxidant supplements you take, the better chance in reducing the oxidation taking place. Some supplements worth considering are vitamin C, such as our Vitamin C Tablets and Green Tea. Green Tea's catechin antioxidants, specifically epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC), are particularly good at neutralizing the types of free radicals that threaten the health of the lungs.

Consider taking selenium, a trace mineral that has been shown to be essential in supporting healthy thyroid function. Studies have shown that selenium is needed by the enzyme in the thyroid that converts the thyroid hormone T4 to the active form, T3. With insufficient selenium, the T4 hormone is unable to convert, which leads to a deficiency in thyroid hormone and hence thyroid production. Kelp is an herb that many who have hypothyroidism or leaning towards hypothyroidism take to supply a sufficient natural supply of iodine to the thyroid.

If your graying hair is genetic, there isn't much that can be done. If it is due to stress or nutritional deficiency, then consider taking a good quality multivitamin such as our Multi Nutrient GOLD. A lack of nutrients such as B vitamins, biotin and vitamin A can not only result in hair loss, but also graying hair. Stress also contributes to it and taking an antioxidant supplement or multivitamin like what I mentioned provides a host of antioxidants to help reduce free radical damage, which is a result of stress. If you are interested in individual vitamins and minerals, we carry a variety such as a Vitamin B Complex and Biotin.

Consider our Multi Nutrient GOLD formula. It is our top of the line multivitamin that is great for people who are sporty. Not only does it have the necessary vitamins and minerals to support your health and well being, there are also antioxidants, which are essential in helping reduce oxidation or free radical damage in the body. Stress, whether from an internal or external source (exercise being external), can lead to oxidation in the body. Antioxidants can help slow or inhibit that process. Our Multi Nutrient GOLD also contains additional antioxidants not found in our other multivitamins: resveratrol, acai berry, quercetin, a higher amount of alpha lipoic acid and 2000 IU of vitamin D3 versus 1000 IU in our other multivitamins. I would also consider a high-quality fish oil such as our Omega-T formula and our Super Osteo GOLD for joint health since you're so active.

Absolutely. In fact, Our Omega-T Fish Oil is derived via molecular distillation, which gently removes toxic contaminants from the oil. Molecular distillation is currently the only way to reduce these environmental toxins to undetectable levels. Our fish oil is third-party certified to be free of contaminants, such as mercury, PCBs and other dangerous environmental toxins.

Vitamin D3 is vitamin D. Vitamin D comes in a couple of forms. The most popular are Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Both will contribute to increases your vitamin D stores however D3, cholecalciferol, is the better, more absorbable form. If you are to take 4000 IU of vitamin D daily, consider our Vitamin D3 2000 IU softgels where you can take 2 softgels daily to get the 4000 IU required for you.

There are a couple supplements worth considering. One is our Brain Energizer, which is an all natural supplement that uniquely combines 6 ingredients that have demonstrated incredible results in clinical trials. The Brain Energizer contains DHA which help protect the signals being sent from cell to cell through out the brain as well as a host of antioxidants to help reduce free radical damage. It also contains nutrients that help with inflammation and increase blood circulation and oxygen to the brain-- So that's an excellent formula.

Another supplement worth considering is Lecithin. It helps support brain health from a variety of angles. It not only provides the brain with fatty compounds that support the health of the brain, it also helps support the health of brain cells, nerve tissues and the white matter of the brain.

Ideally, the optimal vitamin D3 levels in blood should be around 50 ng/ml. If you have over 100 ng/ml, that is reaching toxicity. However, levels lower than 30 suggest a deficiency that should be immediately addressed.

You may find support with our Milk Thistle formula which contains artichoke and dandelion. Dandelion is a diuretic which may help support the function of your kidneys. B vitamins, such as our B 50 Complex, is also worth considering. B vitamins help in the creation of nerve and tissue cells and, lastly, the best support for kidney health is drinking large amounts of water. Ideally, you should drink half your weight in ounces. If you are 120 lbs, you would drink 60 ounces of water daily.

Have you considered taking St. John's Wort? It is a wonderful herb to help in cases of sciatica or nerve pain, which is what it sounds like you're experiencing. Although this herb is more widely known for use in cases of depression, it does serve other purposes. If you are not on any medications, it is worth considering.

Taking an adequate supply of vitamin C has been shown to help with vascular tonicity. It makes blood vessels less fragile. Consider our Vitamin C Tablets, which are buffered and contain bioflavonoids to enhance the vitamin C benefits. The omega 3's in fish oil have also been known to be quite effective for maintaining vascular elasticity so that's something to look into as well.

Studies have shown that after the age of 30, our bodies produce much less coQ10 than what was produced when we were born, which is why supplementing with coQ10 is suggested. Natural sources of coQ10 include oily fish such as wild salmon, tuna and mackerel, organ meats (livers, hearts) and whole grains. As for dosage suggestion, if you are dealing with any cardiovascular issues or on a statins, consider taking 200 mg or more. If not, you can go with less and make sure you eat the foods that contain coQ10 about 2 times a week to add to the supplement. One "rule of thumb" is that you should take 1 mg per 1 pound of body weight, so that may be a good place to start.

The recommended dosage of the Multi Nutrient Plus Joint Support, regardless of weight, is 6 capsules daily. This is to get the dosage that is listed on the ingredients. We base the dosage on clinical studies of each individual raw material in the supplement. Taking more of the supplement daily is not necessary. If you are interested in higher amounts of some of the antioxidants, consider purchasing them separately. We have a fantastic Super Osteo GOLD that you might really like.

Our Brain Energizer is a fabulous product to consider as it serves to protect the brain from several different angles. It offers high dose antioxidants, curcumin, DHA and other ingredients which increase brain circulation and activity. Another great addition to your regimen for brain health is Omega T fish oil. Omega-3s have been shown to support brain health due to the essential fatty acid DHA which protect the brain's myelin sheath. The most abundant fat found in the brain, actually, is DHA. A deficiency of DHA in the brain leads to dementia and other issues related to mental decline.

We do have some gluten free supplements. The best way to find out if a particular supplement is gluten free is to go to the product's page. Scroll down, and below the red "Add to Cart button," you will see a set of tabs. Click on the "Ingredients" tab then scroll down until you get to the "Other Information" section. If the product is gluten free, it will indicate so here.

The symptoms you mentioned do indicate you may have an issue with low thyroid. Due to the fact that hypothyroidism runs in your family, you are at higher risk. You mentioned that you will by seeing your physician in a few weeks. When you due, ask your physician to test the hormone levels in your thyroid. Not only should your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) be tested, but so should your free T4. T4 is a thyroid hormone that is converted to the active hormone T3. Testing your free T4 levels is more reliable than just testing your TSH levels. If your T4 levels are low, it is a good indication you are hypothyroid.

As for supplements that may be of benefit, consider taking Selenium Capsules. The enzyme that converts T4 to T3 needs selenium to be fully active. Deficiencies in selenium can reduce the enzymes effectiveness and therefore impair thyroid function.

The seaweed Kelp, is also worth considering. Kelp is naturally high in iodine and other trace minerals. Many who have found they are hypothyroid due to an issue with their thyroid hormone production which is not related to their TSH levels have found benefit in taking kelp as a supplement. We currently do not have this supplement, however we will be bringing it in within the next few weeks.

Lastly, consider avoiding foods that deplete thyroid function. These foods include: soy, raw cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, kale, mustard greens, turnips, etc.), peaches, strawberries and peanuts.

Generally, magnesium has been known to be beneficial. You can take higher doses with either a stand alone supplement or something called ionic fizz. We also have a stand alone magnesium supplement which people have really benefited from.

You can also soak in an epsom salt before bed and that has been known to provide some minerals to help relax your muscles and reduce night-time cramping. Consider a stretching regimen before bed and, believe it or not, wearing socks when you sleep seems to help reduce cramping for most people.
