Alpha Prime

Product Description

Alpha Prime is formulated for both men and women to help maintain healthy hormonal levels naturally*.

Our world is changing…

There are chemicals in everything! Every time we eat, breathe, apply a lotion or cosmetics and even in our healthy foods, country air, medications, and supplements there are weird chemicals. Some of these chemicals have estrogenic or hormone-disrupting effects, others can change the way we detoxify and process all of our own body toxins, hormones, neurotransmitters, and waste creating all sorts of problems.

Toxins are everywhere!

Exposure to the following factors may be associated with “estrogen issues” by changing how our body reacts to and detoxifies accumulated estrogen:

–              Plastics.

–              Pesticides.

–              Fertilizers.

–              Petrochemicals.

–              Pollution.

–              Foods.

–              Cosmetics.

–              Sunscreens.

–              Genetics.

–              Family history of Oestrogen dominance.

–              Inherited genetic MTHFR gene polymorphisms.

–              HRT and certain oral contraceptive pills.

–              “Xenoestrogens”.

–              EDC’s (endocrine disrupting chemicals).

–              Iodine deficiency and / or hypothyroidism.

–              Folate deficiency.

Everything is a stress

The definition of stress; is anything that creates a change in our body. Therefore, stress could be almost anything! It’s not just hurried, worry, money; stress may be the toxins listed above, an immune challenge, a temperature extreme, electromagnetic radiation, or fears of any of these happening in past, present, or future.

Our body priorities change in response to stress. Basically, we can’t afford to wait to see what the stress is before we react, just in case it is a life-threatening attack and not just an exposure to an environmental pollutant or a memory. Our survival instincts kick in and we ensure we survive the day at the expense of other systems plans and maintenance. For example, while fighting off a bear, detoxification and hormonal production, regulation, and activity for reproduction or sex for fun is NOT a priority and these things will be neglected during chronic stress and toxic exposure.

Natural support – as mentioned previously, toxic exposure changes how we process chemicals in general. The enzymes needed to process toxins are the same enzymes that are needed for the general maintenance of hormones and our own internal toxins we make every day. If certain processes are sped up, slowed down, or switched off; that can create all sorts of imbalances all over your body.

You can use specific foods and supporting nutrients to support your body’s natural detoxification and elimination pathways to help maintain healthy function in your body.

Broccoli Sprout, kale, daikon radish*  and Rosemary.

Broccoli sprouts, kale, and daikon radish are considered very healthy vegetables. They have a particular compound in common, these foods are high in different forms of glucosinolates that create a natural chemical called Sulforaphane. Studies have found that glucosinolate containing vegetables and in particular sulforaphane activates Nrf2 in the body. Activating Nrf2 supports healthy detoxification of estrogen to help to maintain normal estrogen levels.  *

These Brassica plants along with other herbs like Rosemary also interact with the detoxification enzymes to help “reboot” the detoxification pathways so they continue to function normally even after toxic exposure.  *

Kelp and Iodine

Fucus vesiculosus (Bladderwrack) extract is a form of seaweed/kelp, that naturally contains Iodine. * Iodine is deficiency can create many inefficiencies in multiple hormonal systems of the body, supplying adequate dietary iodine is also important to maintain proper hormone levels and estrogen metabolism. *

Folate

Folate is an essential nutrient for a natural detoxification process called methylation which is necessary to maintain proper hormone function.* It is important to maintain adequate dietary folate to prevent deficiency. Folate is involved in multiple systems and pathways in the body but it is extremely important in helping to maintain healthy estrogen levels. *

Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali has a long history of use and a reputation for improving sexual performance or at the very least, sexual desire. In more recent years it has been researched for its potential to help support hormonal health, promote free testosterone, and help us deal with stress better.

International Customers Please Read the Below (Especially UK customers)

Import taxes: You may have to pay import taxes and/or customs duties. You may also be required to pay a brokerage (handling) fee for the shipment. These charges are separate from your shipping charge and you will be billed directly for them via the shipping carrier. These shipping and tax rates vary from country to country and also depend upon the products being ordered. ATP Science has no control over these charges.

Declaration of Value and Product Description: International shipments are processed with a commercial invoice as required to ship internationally. Customs may make additional requests based on local laws and regulations. Due to the complexity of some requests, we cannot guarantee that the additional information requested will be provided. The requests may differ depending on the order value, regulations, and other unpredictable factors.

Your shipping address, phone number, and email address: Please make sure your shipping address, phone number, and email are full and complete. The phone number or email may be used by the shipping company to contact you in case they have problems delivering your order. ATP Science is not responsible if you incorrectly enter your address on your order and will not be responsible for your parcel if it is incorrectly delivered because of this.

Customs & Regulatory information: ATP Science will not be liable for packages refused or held by customs for delivery. ATP Science does not take responsibility for any extra charged to the customer by customs/duty/VAT.

Address or other customer error: If a package is returned to ATP Science due to an address error (or any other error) made by the customer, the customer will be responsible for any shipping fees incurred. A refund will be issued for merchandise only, minus a 10% restocking fee*, upon receipt of the returned package. This also applies to customer refusal of a package (in which the customer will have the cost of the return shipment taken from the total refund).

Violation of laws: If a package is returned to ATP Science due to a violation of a country’s laws or import regulations, the customer will be responsible for any and all fees billed to ATP Science as a result. A refund will be issued for merchandise only, upon receipt of the returned package. If an order is seized and destroyed by customs due to regulatory issues, the customer will not receive credit for the merchandise or shipping cost.

Notes on returned packages: If an order is rejected by customs or unable to be delivered, and the cost to return the goods is greater than the value of the goods, ATP Science will instruct the carrier to abandon the package. The customer will not receive a refund for the merchandise or shipping cost. If an order is rejected by you unwilling to pay the duties or taxes ATP Science will only accept the rejected order if the value of the package is more than the cost of shipping to and back again and 10% restocking fee.  If the cost to return the items exceed the cost of goods then ATP Science will instruct the agents to destroy the package and no refund will be available (and you may still be liable to pay your customs duties and taxes). If we do accept the return of the goods your refund will be the total of your order minus the cost to ship the goods back to us (which in some cases is quite a hefty fee).

We request that you contact your customs office and ask about import regulations and restrictions before placing your order. It is important for you to become familiar with Customs policies for your specific country before ordering.

Customs regulations differ by country and not knowing their regulations can result in your order incurring high import duties, the delivery being delayed or even returned. Please check with your Customs office to see if your country permits the shipment of the products you are planning to order from us and if any additional licenses or permits are needed.
