CURCUMIN
Extracted from turmeric rhizomes, America’s Finest’s Super Curcumin C3 Complex with BioPerine is great for comprehensive immune support. Studies have shown this antioxidant to be useful in the management of inflammation. The addition of BioPerine, obtained from black pepper fruit extract, increases the bioavailability of the curcuminoids in each caplet.
LYCOPENE
Lycopene b, a combination of naturally sourced lycopene and beta carotene, is a daily antioxidant softgel supplement. It supports healthy aging, benefits cardiovascular health and protects against skin photoaging. Lycopene b also includes BioPerine and soy oil for better bioavailability and absorption.
CURCUMIN METABOLITES
Curcumin C3 Reduct is standardized with 95% Tetrahydrocurcuminoids, which are the major metabolites of curcuminoids. Compared to generic curcuminoids, they have been shown in studies to have greater antioxidant activity, suggesting Curcumin C3 Reduct’s role as a dietary antioxidant to reduce the oxidative stress and improve the antioxidant status of the body. It can also support healthy blood sugar levels, according to studies.
BLOOD SUGAR SUPPORT
America’s Finest offers Gymnema and Alpha-Lipoic Complex for supporting normal blood sugar levels. Each tablet contains 280 mg of the proprietary blend of Gymnema extract, bitter melon extract, alpha lipoic acid and BioPerine.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Forslean Extreme is the world’s leading brand of Coleus Forskohlii extract for weight management. It helps build lean body mass and shed excess fat. The active compound Forskohlin activates the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which produces Cyclic AMP, triggering a metabolic process that releases lipase in fat cells, breaking them down.
INFLAMMATION SUPPORT
AFI’s AKBBA MAX contains the extract of Boswellia serrata gum resin, which supports the management of inflammatory conditions. Each sustained-release AKBBA MAX tablet may help relieve symptoms of asthma and arthritis as well as irritable bowel diseases without side effects.
