While the causes are not known and there are no tests that can diagnose Fibromyalgia with any certainty, there are some patterns that emerge.
Muscular Function and Energy Production
Muscle cells are powered by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP supplies energy for virtually all of the body's physiological processes. Recent research indicates that Fibromyalgia patients may be deficient in certain compounds required for the synthesis of ATP.
ATP requires magnesium, oxygen, phosphates, and substrates from the breakdown of food products. When low oxygen conditions occur (hypoxia) and magnesium is below the optimum levels, the body's normal manufacture of ATP is compromised. The cells react by switching to a very inefficient system of generating ATP that breaks down protein in muscles and other tissue. The result is pain, decreased function, and fatugue.
Coenzyme Q10 is another importent nutrient that can assist the body's metabolism of ATP and increase oxygen in the tissues.
Liver Support and Detoxification
Liver detoxification is essential for muscle and joint comfort. Malabsorption of critical
nutrients, a condition associated with fibromyalgia, means an increase in the production of ammonia which is irritating to brain cells and muscle tissue, even at low levels. In optimum health, the liver utilizes antioxidants to repair itself and prevent damage from noxious toxins. When digestion is impaired, the liver requires additional potent antioxidants, including E, A, and C. More recently, "super" antioxidants have become available to stop and even reverse free radical damage. Alpha lipoic acid, and Resveratrol from red grapes are two of the super antioxidants.
Nervous System Support and Pain Management
Fibromyalgia appears to be a stress related disorder. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps you feel clam and relaxed. Studies indicte that indivduals with Fibromyalgia have reduced serotonin levels, which cause pain to be greatly exaggerated. The lack of sleep also contributes significantly to increased pain. 70% of fibromyalgia pain correlates with the rating of poor sleep quality. Sleep is like a battery charger. If the body is not being recharged, especially the muscles, the result is pain. With a good, restful sleep, pain goes away or is significantly relieved.
Each 2 capsules of Fibropro contain:
Magnesium 150 mg
Magnesium is one of the most crucial elements for ATP synthesis. Recent research suggests
Fibromyalgia patients have below normal levels of magnesium. Magnesium plays a critical role in pain management. It is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and the second most abundant in the muscles and other organs. Research indicates that magnesium is the number one stress mineral. All pain sufferers have a deficiency in magnesium. Adequate amounts will decrease pain and muscle spasms, usually within 48 hours.
Magnesium is the "anti-stress" mineral. Magnesium is a natural tranquilizer, as Magnesium functions to relax skeletal muscles as well as the smooth muscles of blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract. Because of Magnesium's influence on the heart, magnesium is considered important in preventing coronary artery spasm. Magnesium also has a mild effect on lowering blood pressure and is often recommended to prevent hypertension. Magnesium also increases HDL levels, decreases platelet aggregation, and prolongs clotting time.
Malic Acid 800 mg
Malic Acid also plays an essentnial part in sugar metabolism, utilizing it efficiently as fuel to generate ATP, even under low oxygen conditions.

Products complementary to Fibropro for a comprehensive fibromyalgia program:
MSM
Supports the body's connective tissue and benefits a huge range of
health problems including allergies, arthritis, gastro-intestinal issues, acid stomach, muscle and
joint pains, lung problems, and more.
ORAC+
For energy, anti-aging, and cellular protection. Oxygen Radical Absorbence
Capacity (ORAC), measures the antioxidant power of foods and nutritional supplements. Use ORAC+ daily
to reverse cellular damage caused by free-radicals . You can dramatically slow-down the aging process
(anti-aging) by combatting free radical activity with antioxidants.
Coenzyme Q10
This is the most potent Co-Q10 available. Three times more bio-available than powdered Co-Q10.
General Benefits of Coenzyme Q10 include: improves efficiency of energy production, enhances immune
system strength, helps reduce high blood pressure, improves efficacy of weight loss programs.
Power Enzyme Complex
Power Enzyme Complex contains a complex mixture of
enzymes to aid in the digestion of fat, sugars, starches, milk, and proteins. The lack of natural
enzymes in the foods we eat places an extra strain on the pancreas and gallbladder. "Burn-out" of
these organs leads to a myriad of conditions, including diabetes, hypoglycemia,
pancreatis, heartburn, and an array of digestive disorders.
Probiotic Complex
Provides a complex of probiotic bacteria to support the digestive system. Probiotic Complex is a
natural approach to chronic digestive disorders (constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, flatulence,
bloating and the effects of prolonged antibiotic therapy).
M.U. Tene
M.U. Tene is concentrated Beta-Carotene, the precursor to Vitamin A and one of nature's most
powerful antioxidants. Each 15 mg. softgel is equivalent to 25,000 IUs of Vitamin A.
Premium De-Oiled Lecithin
Our Lecithin has the highest phosphatide concentration
available (approx. 98%). Phosphatidyl choline in our lecithin is a brain and nerve nutrient. Pure
lecithin maintains the surface tension of the cell membranes, controling what
goes in and out of each cell, allowing nutrients in, or wastes out.
