Boron Joint with CurcuWIN® supplies targeted nutritional support for connective tissue and bones.* It contains CurcuWIN® turmeric extract with minimum 20% curcuminoids, enhanced with boron and magnesium.*

Calcium is an important macromineral. Calcium in the citrate form is well absorbed.*

Equal amounts of calcium and magnesium, in the well-absorbed citrate form.*

Copper is an essential trace mineral responsible for a variety of enzymatic reactions in the body.* Copper in sebacate salt form has been shown to restore the function of the copper enzymes tyrosinase, lysyl oxidase, and ceruloplasmin.* Copper deficiency is uncommon because copper occurs naturally in many foods, and most of the earth’s surface and ground water used for drinking contains small amounts of copper. Copper water pipes and copper cookware are also sources of dietary copper. The absorption and utilization of copper can be hindered by elevated intakes of copper antagonists such as zinc, iron, vitamin C, and fructose sweeteners.

Liquid Molybdenum is a diluted solution of ammonium molybdate. Molybdenum is involved in the metabolism of sulfur, uric acid formation, and the detoxification of sulfites, alcohol, and some chemicals.* Containing 25 µg of molybdenum per drop, this product can gradually be titrated to higher dosages, and is well tolerated by sensitive individuals.

Magnesium Ascorbate is a buffered, non-acidic form of vitamin C (pH of 7.0), which is generally gentler to the stomach than ascorbic acid.*

Magnesium in the citrate form. Magnesium is a cofactor for some 300 enzymes in the body, and acts in concert with calcium.*

A combination of malic acid with magnesium and vitamin B2 (riboflavin). All three of these nutrients are important for energy generation.* Magnesium malate is involved in the Krebs cycle, and in the activation of many enzyme systems that are important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism.*

Allergy Research Group's classic mixed mineral formulation, as developed by Stephen A. Levine, Ph.D. MultiMin provides macrominerals, trace minerals, and ultra-trace minerals. Glutamic acid is included as a mildly acidifying agent.*

Iodoral® is a tablet form of Lugol solution. One 12.5 mg tablet of Iodoral® supplies an amount of total elemental iodine comparable to the average daily intake of this essential element by mainland Japanese.*

General Information
Iodine is an essential element. Although its main function is in the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, other organs in the body have a need for iodine in order to function normally.*(4) 

Several studies have demonstrated a need for iodine intake.*(1,2) The minimum amount of iodine determined in these studies is equivalent to 0.1 mg/kg body weight/day.* For example, for a 50 kg woman, the daily amount of iodine would be 5 mg.* The thyroid gland needs iodide to function properly. The original study done 80 years ago in adolescent girls used 9 mg iodide daily.*(3) 

During the early 1900's, the iodine/iodide solution called Lugol solution was used extensively, effectively and safely in medical practice, for both low activity and above normal activity of the thyroid gland.*(4) The recommended daily intake for iodine supplementation was 2 to 6 drops of Lugol solution, providing 12.5 to 37.5 mg total iodide. That amount was mentioned as lately as 1995 in a book on Pharmaceutical Sciences.(5) 

Several investigators have shown convincing evidence for the need for adequate iodine intake.*(6) Japanese women living in Japan consumed a daily average of 13.8 mg total elemental iodine and some research suggests this is an important factor for their relative health.*(6) In the 1960's, one slice of bread in the USA contained the full RDA of 0.15 mg iodine. Over the last 2 decades, iodine was replaced by bromine in the bread making process. Bromine may block thyroid function and may interfere with iodine in the body.*(4),(7) 

The RDA limits for vitamins and minerals were established after World War II. One of the last essential elements included in the RDA system was iodine, established in 1980 and confirmed in 1989.(8) The RDA for iodine was based on the amount of iodine/iodide needed to prevent goiter, extreme stupidity and hypothyroidism.*(9) The optimal requirement of the whole human body for iodine has never been studied. Therefore, the optimal amount of this element for physical and mental wellbeing is unknown. Based on demographic studies, the mainland Japanese consumed an average of 13.8 mg daily and they are one of the healthiest people on planet earth.*(6) Lugol solution is a time-tested preparation with a proven track record for over 150 years.* Two drops contain 12.5 mg iodine/iodide, an amount very close to the 13.8 mg average intake of mainland Japanese.* 

Rationale For This Formulation
Administration of iodine/iodide in liquid solution is not very accurate, may stain clothing, has an unpleasant taste and can cause gastric irritation. Iodoral® is a precisely quantified tablet form containing 5 mg iodine and 7.5 mg iodide as the potassium salt. To prevent gastric irritation, the iodine/iodide preparation is absorbed into a colloidal silica excipient, and to eliminate the unpleasant taste of iodine, the tablets are coated with a thin film of pharmaceutical glaze.*(10)

MAG-200® provides magnesium with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).

It is difficult to overstate the importance of magnesium for health.* Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and the second most abundant in muscles and other organs. Only potassium levels are higher than magnesium in soft tissues (non-bone tissues). Potassium cannot be retained in soft tissues and leaks out if magnesium is deficient.* 

Adequate amount of magnesium is also required for the absorption and utilization of calcium, favoring the deposition of calcium in bone where it belongs and preventing deposition of calcium in the soft tissues and kidneys where it does not belong.* 

Magnesium is required in adequate amount for the normal activity of 300 enzymes, including those involved in the transfer of energy from foods to physical and mental activities.* It is a very important stabilizer of polynucleic acids, substances where genetic information is stored.* The Mag-200™ daily nutritional program is a magnesium-emphasized dietary program which consists of avoiding foods that block the absorption, interfere with the utilization of, and increase the loss of magnesium; and magnesium supplementation.

Pure Ge-132 Germanium is a unique organogermanium compound, bis-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide, sometimes called just germanium sesquioxide. It has unique molecular characteristics which make it virtually unreactive in the body, and its small particle size and unique structure permit it to be readily cleared in the urine as the intact molecule.

Allergy Research Group® introduced pure germanium into the United States in 1986. We recognize the importance of providing pure and tested Ge-132. To assure the quality and purity of our germanium products, we carefully analyze every lot. Testing procedures include identification by infrared spectroscopy, purity by acid group titration, and absence of inorganic germanium impurities by color limit test.
