SALMON OIL
Wild Alaskan Full Spectrum Omega Softgels are a blend of 100% pure, wild Alaskan salmon oil (including sockeye salmon oil), vitamin D3 and astaxanthin. Derived from sustainably caught fish in the waters of Alaska and tested for optimum purity and potency, the softgels provide vitamin D3, an essential vitamin that supports bone, immune, breast, cardiovascular, colon and pancreatic health. It also supplies the natural antioxidant astaxanthin, a fat-soluble carotenoid pigment that lends salmon its distinctive bright color. A dosage of 225 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA is contained in each softgel, as well as other fatty acids for a total of 2,400 mg.

CRANBERRY/PROBIOTIC/VITAMIN C

The formula offers a blend of highly concentrated cranberry powder, probiotic L. acidophilus, and Ester-C in a convenient twice-a-day dosage. It is designed to promote and protect the health of the urinary tract and the intestines, while also supporting a healthy immune system. A daily serving provides the equivalent of 40,000 mg (40 g) of fresh cranberries without the calories of juice.

 

TART CHERRY
Tart Cherry 1000 mg Vegetable Capsules are a natural source of polyphenol antioxidants, which help protect against free radicals. Vegetable capsules provide 1,000 mg (1 g) of tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) derived from a 4:1 extract. The formula is kosher certified, vegetarian and free of gluten, wheat and dairy. Solgar’s formula is derived from the popular Montmorency variety of tart cherry.

BIOACTIVE SELENIUM
Se-Methylselenocysteine 200 mcg Vegetable Capsules represent an advanced bioactive form of selenium that aids in the production of selenoproteins, which support antioxidant activity. This supplement provides 200 mcg of selenium (as Semethylselenocysteine) per vegetable capsule. “Selenium has been studied for 50 years and research shows its beneficial role in supporting many areas of health,” says Richard Passwater, Ph.D., Solgar Research and Development. An organic selenium compound found naturally in plants like garlic, onions, broccoli and wild leeks grown in high-selenium soil, Se-methylselenocysteine helps fight cell-damaging free radicals in the body, recycle vitamin E for antioxidant support and support prostate and thyroid health.
