Mega Flavonoid + Enflam

Nature is abundant with plant constituents that support a healthy anti-inflammatory response.

Bioflavonoids are one example. Bioflavonoids are plant pigments that help vitamin C to support collagen integrity and they also have strong antioxidant activity. This can be very helpful when there is inflammation in the respiratory tract and sinuses as well as in blood vessels, especially the smallest ones (capillaries) that are most vulnerable to damage from inflammation and oxidative stress. This inflammation and oxidation can come in the form of environmental and other allergies, toxins from the environment, high intensity exercise, and even natural biochemical reactions that happen on a daily basis in your body.

When bioflavonoids are combined with other supporting nutrients like vitamins A, C, and Zinc that have either anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties, the synergistic effects can do wonders for supporting respiratory health and maintaining healthy tissues and capillaries. Priority One Vitamins has created two supplements that combine bioflavonoids with other anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich nutrients: Mega Flavonoid 2000 and Enflam.

Mega Flavonoid 2000 combines vitamin A, vitamin C, and Zinc with bioflavonoids like Rutin, Quercetin, Hesperidin, Bromelain and Dunaliella. It is especially helpful for respiratory and sinus health, natural maintenance of healthy tissues and capillaries, and general antioxidant support. Similarly, Enflam is a combination of vitamin A, vitamin C and Zinc with high doses of the bioflavonoids Hesperidin, Bromelain, Rutin, Quercetin as well as bioflavonoid extract from Bitter Orange. Enflam also includes Turmeric, a potent anti-inflammatory flavonoid. Along with supporting healthy tissues and capillaries, Enflam is also great to use after strenuous exercise to reduce inflammation.

Mega Flavonoid 2000 supplements are a high-dose bioflavonoid complex synergistically blended with therapeutic levels of vitamins A, C, and Zinc. Bioflavonoids are plant pigments that give fruits and vegetables their colors. They assist vitamin C in supporting collagen integrity and along with vitamin C display strong antioxidant activity. Those nutrients found in these bioflavonoid supplements have been shown to support healthy levels of leukotrienes and histamine.*

Stay Active

We have been waiting a long time for the sun to come out over here in the Pacific Northwest. The sun is finally showing her beautiful face and as the days grow longer, so will the time we can spend outdoors. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall and winter are the times to rest and draw in while spring and summer are the times for being active and expanding.

Aside from the many wonderful recreational benefits we can enjoy from being active outdoors – connecting with friends, family and engaging in our favorite sports – let’s not forget the amazing health benefits there are as well! Staying active has been shown to improve sleep, help with depression, decrease cardiovascular risk factors and balance blood sugar.

Whether you are staying active by taking walks in the park, swimming, or doing something more intense like playing sports, hiking, mountain biking, or marathon running, we have you covered! Priority One’s Proto-Zyme and Priority Zyme are powerhouse supplements that include proteolytic enzymes to support healthy joints, muscles, and circulation.

Priority One debuted with 4 products back in 1988, and Proto-Zyme was one of them! It is a powerful proteolytic enzyme tablet designed to support your body’s normal connective tissue repair and synthesis. It also has nutrients like zinc, lysozyme, cellulose and thymus that can aid in maintaining a healthy immune system.

For more strenuous exercise, Priority Zyme is a high potency formula that provides nutritional support for cellular health, containing ample amounts of proteolytic enzymes.

How do EPA & DHA support our health?

Cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease and general inflammation are prevalent in society. They can significantly decrease quality of life and impact longevity. Thankfully, nature has provided us with beneficial omega-3 fatty acids that can support each of these areas!

EPA-DHA is an abbreviation for eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids. These essential fatty acids are vital nutrients needed for the synthesis of prostaglandins, formation of neurotransmitters, support of a healthy cardiovascular system and support of normal eye function.

The human body is able to make most of the fats it needs for daily function from raw materials. The exception to this is the omega-3 fatty acids. Because we are not able to produce these fats from scratch, they are called essential fatty acids, meaning we have to get them from food sources. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, nuts, flax seed, flaxseed oil, and some leafy vegetables.

Because omega-3 fatty acids are a major component of cell membranes and play a part in the function of cell receptors, inflammation modulation is one of their many benefits. This includes modulating inflammatory skin concerns, cardiovascular function and joint conditions.

Both EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids that are mainly found in fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and other cold water fish. Including these foods in meal plans can be beneficial for reducing inflammation, supporting the formation of phosphatidylserine which is important brain function and supporting a healthy heart and vascular system. Taking a nutritional supplement rich in EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids is a great way to provide additional support.

EPA-DHA is 20% off for the month of March! Use discount code “OMEGA” on our website to receive the special pricing.

June Product Special : Priority Zyme

Presenting our special for the month of June: 20% off Priority Zyme – our proteolytic enzyme formula supporting a healthy inflammatory response!

Proteolytic enzymes, also called protease, are enzymes that break down proteins. First into smaller fragments called peptides and eventually down to their components, amino acids. There are different types of proteolytic enzymes classified according to the sites that they catalyse the cleavage of proteins. The best known proteolytic enzymes are found in the digestive tract. [1] Proteolytic enzymes are essential regulators and modulators of inflammatory responses in the body. In inflammation responses they have several important actions, which include taking part in the production of macrophages and natural killer cells, and the ability to act on pathogenic immune complexes. In some cases they have been known to prevent the formation at inception, which is regulatory or stimulating to the immune system.

In regards to modulation of the immune system, proteolytic enzymes work in several ways: one is the ability to reduce swelling of mucous membranes by decreasing capillary permeability. Another is improved circulation as enzymes reduce blood viscosity, which in turn increases the oxygen and nutrients in the bloodstream. Additionally, proteolytic enzymes also work to break down plasma proteins which enhance their flow into the lymphatic system, promoting a speedy resolution to pain and swelling from injuries.

To receive the monthly special, enter discount code “enzymes” at checkout. The purchase discount is valid for up to 12 bottles.
Offer is valid June 1st – 30th 2019. More information is available here on our website.
