1000-K Alternative Formula by Douglas
Laboratories contains a variety of nutrient rich green foods, herbals, plant
extracts, and many other important phytonutrients that may support one’s
metabolic functions, including that of the immune system. Lycopene, lutein, alpha-, and beta-carotene,
glutathione, as well as bioflavonoids, such as quercetin, are important
antioxidant nutrients that protect healthy cells from oxidative and free radical
damage. Free radicals are unstable chemicals formed in the body during
metabolism and from exposure to environmental sources, such as pollution and
cigarette smoke. They can attack and damage healthy cells, especially their
membrane lipids and proteins. This, in turn, is thought to contribute to a
number of degenerative health problems. Maitake, Shitake and Reishi mushrooms
have important immune and cardiovascular benefits. The Reishi mushroom can act
as an immunostimulant by activating macrophages and polymorphonuclear
leucocytes. Green tea contains a variety of phytochemicals including polyphenols,
methylxanthines, flavonoids, and triterpenoid saponins. The tea polyphenols,
catechin, epi-catechin, epi-gallocatechin (EGC), and most notably EGC gallate
act as antioxidants and support immune function and cardiovascular health. In
vitro, these nutrients have been shown to inhibit cell growth and induce
apoptosis. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) may help down regulate the formation of
excessive levels of proinflammatory 2-series prostaglandins and other immune
mediators. Cartilage powder contains chondroitin and glucosamine, a naturally
occurring amino sugar found in glycosoaminoglycans, integral components of the
proteoglycans found in joint cartilage. Proteoglycans are large carbohydrate
rich structures that provide resiliency, load distribution, shockabsorbing,
compressive and lubricating properties to joints and connective tissues. The
availability of glucosamine is an integral part of the synthesis of
glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans that are necessary during the constant
remodeling that aging cartilage undergoes. Thus, the maintenance of healthy
aging cartilage may be improved with enhanced deposition of glycosaminoglycans
and proteoglycans. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage,
cauliflower, and kale, offer protective sulforophane compounds known for their
ability to induce phase 2 detoxifying enzymes. 1000-K Alternative Formula may also be a useful
dietary adjunct for those who wish to supplement their diets with herbals and
phytonutrients that may support the body’s various functions. Adults take 1 to 3 caplets daily or as directed by
physician. No adverse effects have been reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Porterfield H. UsToo PC-SPES surveys: review of studies and
