MicroActive® L-Citrulline is a free flowing powder comprised of 60% active ingredient. L-citrulline is an amino acid that is converted by the body to arginine. As it is better absorbed than arginine it is a more bioavailable source. L-arginine boosts nitric oxide production in the body that in turn improves blood flow as a vasodilator and induces greater flexibility in the walls of blood cells. These functions support improved physical endurance, lower blood pressure and reduced erectile dysfunction when it occurs.

MicroActive® Oligonol is suitable for capsules and tablets use.

MicroPQQ® (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) is taken as a dietary supplement to support mitochondrial health and cellular energy production, and to protect the body from oxidative stress. Most notably, PQQ stimulates the spontaneous growth of new mitochondria in aging cells, and activates genes that govern mitochondrial reproduction, protection, and repair. PQQ is also highly water-soluble and is therefore eliminated quickly. MicroPQQ® sustained release formula improved residence time and thereby improves bioavailability and efficacy.

MicroActive® Astaxanthin 10% is a free flowing water dispersible paste containing 2.5% of micronized Astaxanthin, suitable for soft gel capsules. The formulation provides sustained release of the active approximately twice that of the control. Small clinical studies indicate that it is 5.8 times more bioavailable as compared to the control. Derived from algae and selected sea animals, Astaxanthin has been proven to be an extremely powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Uniquely able to pass through the blood-brain barrier, Astaxanthin has been shown to support cognitive health, retard macular degeneration and act as an effective anti-inflammatory agent. As a fat-soluble compound, there are however challenges to effective absorption.

MicroActive® Lutein Esters are a powerful antioxidant and a key ingredient for eye health, in particular reducing the onset of macular degeneration. As well, the esters of lutein are more cost effective than free lutein. MicroActive® Lutein Esters is a self-emulsifying system that micronizes and encapsulates the esters thereby improving absorption and creating a sustained release.

MicroActive® Resveratrol-SR is an antioxidant polyphenol with great promise for supporting healthy metabolism, normal insulin sensitivity and optimal blood flow & mdash; all of which may have cardiovascular, cognitive and anti-aging benefits.

MicroActive® Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body’s circadian rhythm or sleep cycles. The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour “clock” that plays a critical role in when we fall asleep and when we wake up. When it is dark, your body produces more melatonin; when it is light, the production of melatonin drops. Being exposed to bright lights in the evening or too little light during the day can disrupt the body’s normal melatonin cycles. For example, jet lag, shift work, and poor vision can disrupt melatonin cycles.

MicroActive® CoQ10 is a dietary supplement, crystalline CoQ10 is poorly absorbed. In fact, on average, only three percent of the consumed dose is actually absorbed. As a result, numerous forms of CoQ10 claiming enhanced bioavailability have been introduced to the market. However, how well they are absorbed varies wildly from person to person. Some subjects will absorb these enhanced forms well while others will absorb only small quantities — uniform bioavailability is not guaranteed.
