Cycle Assist is designed to be an all-in-one support solution for basic on
cycle and post cycle therapy needs. Cycle Assist contains a combination of
specifically dosed ingredients designed to help provide liver, blood pressure,
cholesterol, prostate, and acne support.
Why choose Cycle Assist?
Cycle Assist offers effective dosages of specific ingredients designed to help
maximize results. There are no filler ingredients. Cycle Assist is straight to
the point and properly dosed to not only provide you with the most effective
product for your on cycle and post cycle support needs, but also the most cost
effective one as well.
Also, unlike many other products in its class, every herb in Cycle Assist is
a standardized extract and the standardization amount is clearly identified on
the label. This is extremely important because it is the amount of active
ingredient that an herb is standardized for that determines the level of
benefits received from it.
Example: A product can be dosed very high in mg of herb powder, but standardized
poorly and therefore offer very little if anything in terms of effectiveness.
Examining the Ingredients:
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine –
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid derivative that is not present in the
diet and must be obtained through supplementation. It is more stable than
regular L-Cysteine, and offers a variety of overall health benefits.
NAC exerts powerful antioxidant effects and serves to boost immune function
and support optimal liver function by acting as a glutathione precursor.
Milk Thistle –
Milk Thistle is standardized for Silymarin, which is well known to help support
normal liver function. It exerts both a protective and detoxification benefits.
What is the importance of it being standardized?
The amount of Silymarin delivered by any Milk Thistle product directly relates
to the amount of benefit that the product offers. Cycle Assist is standardized
to 80% Silymarin. If a product does not state how much Silymarin it is
standardized for, you simply don’t know how much benefit you will receive from
the product
Pantothenic Acid:
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5) is involved in the production of red blood cells
and adrenal hormones. The body converts is to Coenzyme A, which is important for
energy production in the body. Pantothenic Acid is thought to help maintain
healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and also is used frequently to help
combat and prevent acne.
Hawthorn Berry Extract:
Hawthorne Berry Extract is commonly used to help support various aspects of
cardiovascular function, including high blood pressure and cholesterol. It has
been shown to encourage normal blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system.
What is the importance of it being standardized?
The level of benefits that Hawthorn Berry has to offer is directly related to
the amount extract that the individual product in question provides. Hawthorn
can be shown to present extractions for various compounds; in Cycle Assist, the
Hawthorn Extract is shown to be reflected to at least 1.8% Vitexin which is the
standardization that is widely used in hawthorn products specifically designed
for optimal blood pressure and cholesterol support.
Vitamin B-6:
Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin that performs a wide variety of functions
in the body. It plays an important role in helping maintain healthy skin and
hair, is important for proper circulatory function, and is essential for red
blood cell formation and protein metabolism. Vitamin B6 is important for
cardiovascular function because it is involved in regulating blood pressure as
well as other heart functions. It is also important for helping regulate
homocysteine levels.
Saw Palmetto Extract:
Saw Palmetto contains a variety of fatty acids as well as phystosterols. These
active ingredients help inhibit the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme that turns
testosterone into dehydrotestosterone (DHT) and also helps block the binding of
DHT to prostate cells.
What is the importance of it being standardized?
The importance of Saw Palmetto Berries being used as a standardized extract is
because the percentage of standardized extract represents the amount of fatty
acids and phytosterols that are in the product. This directly relates to the
level of benefits that the product will provide.
Celery Seed Extract:
Celery Seed Extract is commonly used to help lower blood pressure, cholesterol,
and improve circulation. Celery Seed Extract contains the compound 3nB, which
acts to help lower blood pressure by acting as both a diuretic and a vasodilator
through impacting prostaglandin function. It is also important to note that
unlike some diuretics, 3nB doesn’t change the ratio of sodium to potassium in
the blood; this is important because by not altering that ratio, the common side
effects associated with some diuretics are avoided.
What is the importance of it being standardized?
As discussed above, it is the 3nB in the Celery Seed Extract that is responsible
for the positive effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, and circulation.
Grape Seed Extract:
Grape Seed Extract is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It is
used to help support cardiovascular and immune function, as well as to support
healthy cholesterol levels and skin elasticity.
What is the importance of the standardization/concentration?
The benefits of Grape Seed Extract are due to the Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins
content. There are numerous standardizations available; Cycle Assist uses a
Grape Seed Extract that contains 95% Proanthocyanidins to help insure maximum
results.
Policosanol:
Policosanol is commonly used to help support healthy cholesterol levels and
cardiovascular health.
Policosanol is a mixture of long chain fatty alcohols derived from sugar cane;
these alcohols are regarded to possess considerable antioxidant capacity.
Zinc Gluconate:
Zinc is an essential mineral that is involved in over 200 enzymatic reactions in
the body. It functions as an antioxidant so it is beneficial for immune support.
Zinc is also important in the prostate and may help protect it from damage. It
is also thought to be beneficial for skin health, maintaining cholesterol levels
to within normal range, and playing an important role in the detoxification of
alcohol in the liver.
