AHCC
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) was first isolated in 1951 by Lester Reed, a biochemist at the University of Texas. Reed was studying the enzymes involved in the metabolism of pyruvate, a molecule that plays a crucial role in energy production, at the cellular level, within mitochondria. He discovered that ALA was a cofactor for these enzymes involved in the Krebs cycle, meaning it was necessary for them to function properly. ALA is considered a “vitamine-like” substance due to its essential role in the body, even though it’s not technically a vitamin. It can be obtained through dietary sources like meat, spinach, and potatoes, or as a supplement. Since its discovery, ALA has been the subject of extensive research, and it is now known to have a wide range of biological activities. Over time, it was found that alpha-lipoic acid exists in two distinct forms: R-lipoic acid and S-lipoic acid, with R-lipoic acid being the naturally occurring and biologically active isomer in the human body. The Sodium Salt of R-Lipoic Acid represents an evolution in the delivery of this compound. While standard alpha-lipoic acid supplements contain both the R and S isomers, it was discovered that the R form is superior in terms of bioavailability and efficacy. However, pure R-lipoic acid, though more potent, is less stable and more difficult for the body to absorb when used in supplements. This led to the development of the Sodium Salt of R-Lipoic Acid—a stabilized version of the natural R-isomer, which significantly improves its stability, absorption, and bioavailability. Sodium Salt of R-Lipoic Acid is a highly regarded form of the naturally occurring antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid, a compound with a rich history and fascinating role in human metabolism. What makes the sodium salt form stand out is its ability to overcome the limitations of traditional R-lipoic acid. Pure R-lipoic acid is prone to rapid degradation when exposed to light, heat, and moisture, which can diminish its effectiveness. By binding R-lipoic acid to sodium, the resulting salt form ensures greater stability and quicker dissolution in the body, allowing for enhanced absorption and consistent delivery. Thus, Sodium Salt of R-Lipoic Acid offers a highly bioavailable and stable form, making it a superior option compared to regular R-lipoic acid and the racemic mixture of alpha-lipoic acid, which contains the less active S-isomer. This innovation in supplement formulation provides a more efficient way to harness the potential benefits of R-lipoic acid, making it a preferred choice for those seeking to maximize the effectiveness of their nutritional regimen.

Black Cumin Seed Oil
Black Cumin Seed and its Oil (also called Nigella sativa) is a natural dietary supplement, that has been used by various civilization around the world for centuries. It has been used both as a spice and flavoring agent in variety of food preparations, as well as a traditional medicine to address various animal and human ailments. Due to its contribution to life, Black Cumin has a very rich history and it has been even called ”the seed of blessing”. Black cumin seeds have been found in the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen, as one of the several accompanying articles. Hippocrates and Dioscorides spoke about it as ‘Melanthion’, while the Bible describes it as the “curative black cumin” (Isaiah 28:25, 27 NKJV). Based on all its history and recent science, some argue that this is one of the most powerful medicinal plants known to man. Typically, black cumin oil contains 1.06 to 4.07 mg/g Thymoquinone and 32 to 40% fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (polyunsaturated omega 6 fatty acid). Next to this, black cumin oi also typically contains Phytosterols. The total sterols content of black cumin seed oil seems to be between 18 and 42%, while the major sterols identified were β-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and 5-avenasterol. All of the above components (Thymoquinone, Linoleic acid, Phytosterols) are known as outstanding compounds with important potential for applications related to human health support. Thymoquinone is our preferred component that makes this dietary supplement special in our view. *The statements in this section have not been evaluated by the FDA or EFSA, but they are under review at EFSA.

Broccoli Ultra
Sulforaphane is the compound in broccoli responsible for many of its health benefits. Only a few products available around the world contain the true, free and stabilized sulforaphane that is typically studied by scientists. Nearly all other food supplements contain sulforaphane’s precursor, known as sulforaphane glucosinolate, or glucopharin. For sulforaphane glucosinolate to be absorbed, the human body needs to first convert it into free sulforaphane. For this conversion to take place, a specific enzyme called myrosinase, is required. In nature, both sulforaphane glucosinolate and myrosinase exist inside the broccoli plant. However, food processing, including boiling, degrades most of the myrosinase enzyme found in broccoli and, as a result, very little sulforaphane will finally reach the blood stream. Clinical trials (1) tell us that, without the enzyme myrosinase, only 10% of sulforaphane glucosinolate is converted into free sulforaphane and absorbed by the body. The rest is excreted. This small conversion is facilitated by gut bacteria, and therefore varies from person to person. When sulforaphane glucosinolate and myrosinase are delivered at the same time, a significantly higher conversion of sulforaphane glucosinolate is achieved. Clinical trials estimate the conversion to be approximately 40%, again with variations from person to person (1). It can therefore be deduced that only part of ingested sulforaphane glucosinolate can be converted into the free sulforaphane known for its many health benefits. Furthermore, It is important to note that sulforaphane glucosinolate has a higher molecular weight than free sulforaphane. Thus, 2.5 mg of sulforaphane glucosinolate will generate only 1 mg of free sulforaphane. This becomes significant when we need to estimate how much sulforaphane glucosinolate within a capsule will become free sulforaphane actually available to the body. When making this estimate, we need to consider two aspects: How much sulforaphane glucosinolate is converted into sulforaphane (40% with myrosinase and 10% without myrosinase enzyme). How much of this converted sulforaphane glucosinolate will end up as free sulforaphane from a weight aspect (2.5 mg sulforaphane glucosinolate becomes 1 mg free sulforaphane). Thus, if a capsule contains 100 mg sulforaphane glucosinolate and there is no myrosinase, according to the results of the aforementioned clinical trials, 90 mg will be excreted without having the chance to get to the blood stream. Only 10 mg will be converted into free sulforaphane. Furthermore, due to the difference in molecular weight,10 mg sulforaphane glucosinolate will become only 4 mg free sulforaphane. In other words, 25 mg sulforaphane glucosinolate generates 1 mg free sulforaphane. At MCS Formulas, each capsule of our Broccoli Ultra contains 15 mg free Sulforaphane. This amounts to 30 mg of free sulforaphane per daily dose of two capsules. (This is the equivalent of approximately 750 mg sulforaphane glucosinolate, as stated on the product label.) According to studies performed by others (2), the amount of sulforaphane in a daily dose of MCS Formulas Broccoli Ultra capsules, positions us at the top of the industry.

Citrus Pectin MCP Powder
Pectin, a natural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of most higher plants such as citrus fruits, has gained increasing attention over the past decade due to its relation to Galectin-3, a type of protein involved in many cellular functions. Galectin-3 contains a carbohydrate recognition domain that allows it to bind to sugars found on the surface of cells and extracellular matrix components. Galectin-3 is involved in several cellular activities, including the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). As a soluble fiber, pectin can absorb water and form a gel-like substance in the digestive tract, providing nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria. Thus, incorporating pectin-rich foods such as apples, citrus fruits, and berries into the diet can be beneficial. The Bioavailability Challenge of Pectin and the Emergence of Modified Citrus Pectin Due to its large molecular size, pectin is poorly absorbed in the small intestine and passes largely intact into the colon. Therefore, in this case, its benefits will be limited mainly to digestive health. To enable pectin to be absorbed into the bloodstream, to increase the chance it can interact with the desired targets, the large pectin molecule has to be broken down into smaller pieces through enzymatic alterations. These smaller pieces of pectin are known as Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP). Therefore, Modified Citrus Pectin is a form of pectin but with a lower molecular weight. MCP has a lower molecular weight than regular pectin, typically less than 20,000 Daltons, compared to pectin’s range of 60,000 to 130,000 Daltons. Modified Citrus Pectin at MCS Formulas: Introducing a New Standard Not all MCP powders are created equal, and most MCP powders available as food supplements are not fully water-soluble. Our new MCS Modified Citrus Pectin formulation stands out for its purity, solubility, and bioavailability. Unlike established MCP powders, ours is highly soluble in water, at room temperature, leading to better bioavailability. This enhanced dissolution increases the potential for effectiveness. *The statements in this section have not been evaluated by the FDA or EFSA.

For example, this mechanism has sparked research into Genistein’s potential applications in cellular health and its effects on normal cell function. Forms of Genistein Genistein supplements are available in various forms, including Genistein powder, capsules, and blends like Genistein soy complex. While many supplements are soy-based, some products derive Genistein from Sophora Japonica, offering a soy-free alternative for individuals who have soy allergies or prefer to avoid soy in their diet. Safety While Genistein is a compound found in foods and researched for a long time, some individuals may wonder, “Is Genistein safe?”. Research indicates that when taken at standard dosages, Genistein supplements are generally safe for most people. However, like many compounds, very high doses may lead to side effects. Common Genistein side effects may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, especially when the supplement is first introduced into the diet. Therefore, it is always advised that Genistein, like other food supplements, it is introduced gradually in the diet. Research and Ongoing Studies Genistein continues to be the subject of scientific investigation, with a particular focus on its role in cell function, and its interactions with hormonal pathways. Research involving Genistein isoflavones often centers on their potential to influence a variety of biological processes. Studies on Genistein’s absorption have also looked into the benefits of combining it with natural compounds such as polysaccharides to improve bioavailability. Conclusion Genistein is a well-researched isoflavone with intriguing properties, especially regarding its interaction with cellular pathways and estrogen receptors. Available through diet or as a supplement, it offers a soy-free option for those interested in supplementing this bioactive compound. As always, it’s important to consult with healthcare professionals before adding any supplement to your regimen, especially to ensure the correct Genistein dosage and monitor for any side effects.

GrePropolis
Propolis is a honeybee product with a resinous texture, it’s made from the bark and sprouts of several plants by bees. They make propolis, often referred to as “bee glue,” for several essential purposes within the hive. Here are some of the primary reasons why bees produce and use propolis: Sealing and Reinforcing the Hive: Bees use propolis to seal gaps and crevices in the hive. This serves as a protective barrier against drafts, rain, and other external elements. By closing openings in the hive structure, bees maintain a stable and controlled environment for the colony. Sterilization and Hygiene: Propolis possesses natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties useful in the hive. As a result, bees use it to coat the interior surfaces of the hive, including the walls and the entrance. This action creates a more hygienic environment by preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi, thus contributing to the overall health of the colony. Defense Against Predators: The sticky and resinous nature of propolis makes it an effective deterrent against invaders, such as ants or other small predators. Bees may use propolis to narrow hive entrances or create obstacles that impede the progress of unwanted visitors. Preserving Hive Cleanliness: Bees are meticulous about maintaining a clean and sterile environment within the hive. They use propolis to encapsulate foreign objects or debris that might find their way into the hive. This encapsulation prevents the intrusion of potential contaminants. Preventing Diseases: Propolis has been observed to have medicinal properties that can help bees. As such, bees use it as a defense mechanism against pathogens, helping to prevent the spread of diseases within the hive. In summary, bees make propolis as a versatile and adaptive substance that serves multiple functions, ranging from hive maintenance and protection to contributing to the overall health and well-being of the colony. The composition and sources of propolis can vary, with different plant resins contributing to its unique properties in different regions of the world. Of all propolis types, The New Zealand propolis and the Brazilian Green propolis are the two main kinds that have been extensively studied in recent years, due to their outstanding potential related to human health.

Hydroxy Tyrosol
Hydroxytyrosol (HXT) is a phenolic compound extracted from the olive and olive leaves. Hydroxytyrosol is generated by the conversion of oleuropein, another important substance present in olives. The conversion occurs during olive ripening or when the olive tissue is damaged by pathogens, herbivores, or mechanical damage, where it acts as an antimicrobial to protect the plant (1). The highest concentration of HXT is found in olive leaves. However, it is lost during oil manufacturing. HXT has been extensively investigated during the last twenty years due to its outstanding potential for human health support. Relevant areas investigated in the scientific literature are related to the impact of HXT on e.g. the cell wall of Candida albicans (2). In oncology field, the impact of HTX on mechanisms such as thioredoxin system, cancer stem cells, pithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, Wnt/β-catenin and TGFβ signaling pathways (3), as well as on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) (4) has been studied intensively. *The statements in this section have not been evaluated by the FDA or EFSA, but they are under review at EFSA.

Omega Pure
The food we consume can significantly impact our physical functions and metabolism, especially when it comes to essential substances that the body cannot produce on its own. Omega-3 fatty acids are a prime example of such vital nutrients. They are key components of lipid metabolism and play an important role in human physiology. The omega-3 fatty acids most relevant to human health include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, humans cannot naturally produce Omega-3 fatty acids, making a diet rich in these nutrients essential. Specifically, the body can only obtain EPA and DHA through dietary intake, or in limited amounts, by converting ALA from food. As we age, the body’s ability to convert ALA into essential Omega-3s like DHA may decline. Fatty fish, which are naturally rich in EPA and DHA, are a key part of official dietary guidelines for a balanced diet. However, many people do not consume enough fatty fish to meet the recommended daily intake of these essential omega-3s. There are various reasons for this shortfall, but fish remains our primary source of EPA and DHA. At the same time, official recommendations suggest limiting fish consumption due to potential contamination from environmental pollutants such as dioxins, PCBs, and heavy metals like mercury. These concerns do not extend to high-quality fish oil supplements, which are purified to minimize or eliminate these contaminants. As a result, many individuals now opt for daily fish oil supplements as a reliable way to ensure they get the full benefits of these important polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acids. When it comes to Omega-3 fatty acid status, that refers to the levels of EPA and DHA in the body, which can now be measured through tests such as a finger-prick blood test. This test determines the omega-3 index, which reflects the percentage of EPA and DHA in the cell membranes of red blood cells, offering a reliable measure of omega-3 levels. The omega-3 index is closely linked to the amount of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids in various tissues and organs, including the heart. Current research suggests that an optimal omega-3 index is at least 8%. Achieving this level may require higher doses of EPA and DHA, particularly for individuals following a typical Western diet, which is often high in omega-6 fatty acids. For those with a lower omega-3 index (around 4.5%, which is common in Western populations), supplementing with 2 grams of EPA/DHA daily can help raise the index to around 8% within about three months. For ongoing maintenance, a daily intake of 700-1000 mg of EPA/DHA may be sufficient, depending on dietary habits. Permitted health claims: DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart References Omega 3 fatty acids such as DHA from ALA in aging https://www.plefa.com/article/S0952‐3278(06)00090‐1/fulltext EFSA evaluation on EPA and DHA and its beneficial effect on cardiovascular system http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/doc/1796.pdf Recent Clinical Trials Shed New Light on the Cardiovascular Benefits of Omega‐3 Fatty Acids https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6822654/
