Iron is a trace mineral that is essential for health, with its most important function being the production of red blood cells.

The iron-rich pigment in blood is what binds life-supporting oxygen and transports it to tissues. Without iron, the immune system is impaired since bacteria-killing white blood cells are dependant on iron. Iron is also required for the proper function of the nervous system and the production of neurotransmitters; and it is an iron-dependent enzyme that helps the liver destroy toxic chemicals and waste products.

It has been estimated that as many as 1 billion people are deficient in this important mineral. As many as 60% of the U.S. population may not get enough iron. Iron deficiency is most common among teenagers, elderly, pregnant or lactating women, those who consume a _junk food_ diet, and anyone with a liver disorder.

Early symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue, decreased alertness, diminished endurance, dizziness and rapid heartbeat. Frequent colds, chronic infections, and poor digestion are also signs of iron deficiency. Chronic deficiency leads to anemia.

Free radicals are all around us—in the water we drink and the air we breathe—and the damage they cause is tremendous. Over 60 diseases have been linked to these highly reactive molecules that bombard the cell walls and leave the body prone to cancer, heart disease, arthritis, macular degeneration and to the many evidences of aging—from wrinkles to dementia.

Research has proven that nutrients known as antioxidants ward off the effects of free radicals, thereby helping to prevent cell and tissue damage. Yet, in formulating antioxidant supplements, some companies ignore a critical fact. Since the human body is composed of many kinds of tissues, more than one kind of antioxidant is needed to ward off the harmful effects.

Opti-Force takes the total approach and provides the body with broad-spectrum protection. Opti-Force is a total antioxidant that includes the most powerful combination of many different antioxidant nutrients. These nutrients include: proanthocyanidins from pine bark, grape seed and grape skin; curcuminoids from turmeric; and catechins from green tree extract; as well as the vitamins A, C, and E that are well-known for their antioxidant properties and the various minerals and other co-factors that ensure delivery of these nutrients so they can be used in the body. Opti-Force, the most complete antioxidant formula on the market, truly has the force you need for optimal antioxidant benefits.

The liver and kidneys act as the body's filtration system – helping to rid the body of toxins as well as performing other necessary functions. In fact, the liver has over 600 functions that it performs in the body. These organs can only function optimally when they are kept clean and provided with certain nutrients. In other words, the body's filtration system can be compared to a water filter. When the filter is clogged with debris (toxins) it is unable to do the work of keeping fresh, clean water flowing through the filter. Similarly, when the liver and kidneys are clogged with toxins, they can't do the work to protect the body from the onslaught of toxins.

Millions of pounds of toxins are dumped into our water and air every year. Poor diet, medications, alcohol, electronic devices and stress also add to the toxic buildup. In today's environment, virtually every individual—especially if they work around toxins, drink alcohol or have a history of kidney or liver problems—needs the added liver/kidney support that can come from Optimal Liver/Kidney.

When the liver and kidneys are not nutritionally supported or adequately cleansed, the body begins to store toxins in the tissues. These toxins can produce a myriad of symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, insomnia, depression, poor digestion, allergies, and skin problems. Over time, the storage of these toxins may even lead to chronic illnesses such as cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease. Optimal Liver/Kidney contains powerfully effective ingredients, which have been proven to gently cleanse the liver and kidney – ensuring clearance of harmful toxins.

Studies show that earth's atmosphere—meaning the air we breathe—doesn't contain as much available oxygen as it once did. At one point, our air was made up of 40% oxygen. Now, due to excess carbon dioxide and pollutants, air is only about 20% oxygen.

In addition, according to research, we have become a nation of “shallow-breathers” because of our fast-paced, stress-filled schedules, coupled with the sedentary lifestyles we live. Because we don't exercise and don't force our lungs to work to take in additional oxygen, we are further depleted of the benefits of this chemical.

Since raw foods contain more oxygen, the fact that we eat mostly cooked/processed foods further cuts into our supply. Cooked foods and environmental toxins also cause our systems to become more acidic, and thus, more prone to disease.

With an insufficient supply of life-giving oxygen and with high acidity, the bloodstream fills up with toxins and carbon dioxide. In addition, when the body is oxygen-starved and acidic, it does a very poor job of fighting infections and warding off viruses. In fact, bacteria and viruses grow and thrive in an anaerobic—or, in other words, in a system that is devoid of oxygen. Not only that, when the system is not in an alkaline state and does not have the oxygen it needs, our nutrient delivery is compromised and our metabolism slows down. We don't break our foods down properly or use fat stores for energy.
Enhancing oxygen delivery and alkalizing the system by using OxyPure from Optimal Health Systems allows the body to fight infections, to eliminate toxins and to have the combustion (fat-burning) and energy-producing benefits that come from the life-giving chemical—oxygen.

Optimal Male was created to support the unique nutritional needs of men. Specific herbs were included to promote prostate health, enhance memory, and aid circulation. Optimal Male also contains our exclusive Opti-Blend™ Delivery System – a unique blend of enzymes and minerals for optimal nutrient delivery. This unparalleled blend of holistic herbs has been shown to assist in reversing the ongoing degeneration that can take place due to the current lifestyle factors of adult males.

Diseases in men over 50 often involve the prostate sex organ—and many of the nutrients that support prostate function also enhance memory, another benefit men often require as they age. One study claims that inflammation of the prostate gland, known as prostatitis, is “raging throughout North America.” About 317,000 American men will be diagnosed and about 41,400 will die from prostate cancer this year alone.

Fifty to sixty percent of men over 50 years of age have some indication of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—and risk continues to increase with age. BPH is the enlargement of the prostate, which results in urinary discomforts and can lead to infection, inflammation and even to cancer.

Since these problems are linked to various lifestyle factors—including stress; long periods of sitting, driving, or watching television; environmental toxins and even the junk food diets that are common today—it's obvious why prostate problems are increasing and why men must ensure that they are doing what they need to support prostate health.

Research shows certain nutrients provide the body with this support. Yet, simply ingesting nutrients without making sure they are in a form the body can use doesn't help. Optimal Male contains a unique blend that includes Saw Palmetto in its purest, most useful form. This herb has been widely used in Europe for BPH and appears to counteract the effects of androgens, the male sex hormones linked to prostate enlargement.

Optimal Male includes a high quality form of the well-known herb, gingko biloba, which has been proven to aid in circulation and to enhance memory. Stinging nettle, also an ingredient in Optimal Male, aids in the treatment of enlarged prostate by relieving the urinary retention often caused by the condition. Stinging nettle also provides a good source of iron, calcium, beta carotene and vitamin C and acts as a diuretic. Cornsilk has been shown to be useful in treating urinary infections, damiana may help strengthen the male sexual system, and pygeum africanum has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and to prevent bladder hyperactivity.
Optimal Male is the finest supplement on the market for providing the memory enhancement and prostate health that virtually every man needs.

With countless over-the-counter medications claiming to help with certain symptoms and the prevalence of hormone replacement therapy, it's easy to confuse the issue. The problem isn't solved by taking one drug or another. Instead, addressing the root cause of the problem comes down to examining what nutrients are missing from the body and how to replace those to create optimal hormone balance.

The proven nutrients in the Optimal Female formula are the highest quality available and the Opti-BlendTM Delivery System is included, ensuring optimum delivery of the nutrients most needed at various times in a woman's life. Donq Quai, for example, has been found to be effective in treating menstrual irregularity as well as the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause.

exican Wild Yam has been used for centuries by North American Indians to ease cramping and is thought to prevent miscarriages. The anti-spasm properties may help with cramping and bloating. Red Raspberry supports the female reproductive system. Black Cohosh contains substances that promote estrogen activity, and thus helps with PMS and symptoms of menopause; while Blue Cohosh has been used for cramping. Also included in this formula are sarsaparilla, licorice, damiana and squaw vine, for their proven effectiveness at addressing symptoms of hormone imbalance.

When a woman needs help in regulating hormone balance, Optimal Female from OHS is a welcome, safe, and highly effective answer.
