BioPotent C

Price: $26.00

Bio-Potent C: I carry at least 5 different kinds of Vit. C, as not all vitamin C is the same. However, Bio-Potent C is by far, my preferred Vit. C for long-term use.   Bio-Potent C is combined with a rich source of Active Bio-Flavonoids.

Research has shown that taking pure Vit. C for an extended period of time can cause problems. I have seen patients come to me who have been on high dose vitamin C for an extended period and ended up causing severe problems from the high dose C, without the co-factors of bio-flavonoids. In nature, wherever there is vitamin C there are always bio-flavonoids also.   

Vitamin C is famous for many affects, the primary areas of its function are: support for synthesis of collagen and connective tissue, promoting immune function and circulation and protecting against free-radical or oxidative damage to tissue.

BioThyro

Bio-Thyro uses state-of-the-art nutrients to support optimal thyroid function. The use of Bio-Thyro is quite different than the standard medical approach, which is to give you a prescription medication that supplies a synthetic thyroid hormone. This raises your thyroid hormone levels, but does nothing to improve the function of your thyroid gland. Bio-Thyro is designed to support your own thyroid so that it makes more of it’s own, natural thyroid hormone. The results with Bio-Thyro are frequently noticeable within a matter of weeks.

Low thyroid symptoms can include but are not limited to: low metabolism, slow starter in the morning, increased hair loss, mental sluggishness, sleep problems, difficulty losing weight, PMS, hot flashes, heavy menstrual flow and/or cramps, a.m. nausea, a.m. headaches, and fatigue to name a few.

CURRENT HUMACEL® RESEARCH
Ongoing Animal Studies:
Animal study with Veterinarian clinics throughout the United States targeting all viral conditions in pets.

Documented to inhibit Viral attachment to cells
Research has shown that efficacy is due to the ability to interfere with mechanisms responsible for viral attachment to host cells. When added to cells both during and after viral adsorption, the compounds found in Humacel ® inhibit hemagglutination and cell-to-cell fusion. (3,4) This action stops the infection before the genome can be inserted into the host cell.

Studies show that compounds found in Humacel® to be effective against both RNA and DNA Viruses
Studies confirmed that some polymetric compounds are potent inhibitors of viral attachment, blocking integration of viral RNA and DNA as demonstrated in part by inhibition of reverse transcriptase activity both during and after viral adsorption. (3-13) The studies demonstrate that sensitivity of various viruses to these materials appears to be independent of nucleic acid type

Studies demonstrate no cytotoxicity
A number of studies show that some polimetric compounds block viral protein synthesis and viral-induced hemagglutination, no host cell cytotoxicity has been observed. Humate-like polymers interfere with the viral mechanisms of host cell infection without impairing the viability of the host cell(10,11)

IgG 2000 Capsules

Supports immune function (including during chemotherapy or strenuous physical activity)
• Binds and neutralizes major foreign microbes
• Reduces G.I. inflammation / lessens gut permeability
• Supports lean muscle mass
• Reduces cholesterol
A breakthrough in immunoglobulin supplementation, IgG 2000 DF™ is a highly concentrated, non-dairy source of serum-derived immunoglobulin antibodies and immuno-proteins. It possesses three times more IgG and total immunoglobulins than colostrum and has twice as much cysteine, an important amino acid for maintaining glutathione levels. IgG 2000 DF™ delivers fifteen times the level of transferrin and lactoferrin provided by colostrum, alone. One daily dose of IgG 2000 DF™ supplies more than 2,000 mg of IgG. These and other immune proteins contained in IgG 2000 DF™ have been shown to demonstrate enhancement of immune function by directly boosting immunoglobulin levels in the gastrointestinal tract. IgG 2000 DF™ also contains transferrin and the immunomodulating cytokine TGFß-1.
The basic functions of immunoglobulins are the neutralization and opsonization of foreign microbes. Unlike antibiotics, immunoglobulins enable the immune system to differentiate between foreign microbes and the body’s healthy microflora.
The transfer of immunity through oral supplementation is a natural, logical, and effective process for obtaining immunity. In adults, the concentration of immunoglobulin in the digestive tract and on mucosal surfaces predicts the risk of infection.
Almost 80% of all foreign microbes enter the body through mucosal tissue or stay localized on mucosal surfaces. Each day, the G.I. tract immune cells produce roughly five
grams of immunoglobulins. However, secretion is significantly reduced during times of stress. Supplemental immunoglobulins act first in the intestinal tract to eliminate
or inhibit the proliferation of disease-causing organisms and toxins. This reduces the stimulation of the immune response in the gut so that the body’s resources can be
redirected toward challenges elsewhere.
Many of the studies on immunoglobulins involving immune challenge have involved animals, due to the expense and difficulty of using human subjects. Studies have
shown that oral immuno-protein supplementation restores appetite, reduces inflammation, and promotes improved protein metabolism under immunological stress. Oral
supplementation has been shown to preserve gut wall integrity and provide intestinal humoral immunity.
Transferrin, a family of iron-binding, bacteriostatic proteins, regulates and reduces the amount of free iron available to the invading pathogen.
Growth Factors, in proper combination, are thought to play an important role in digestive health and nutrient utilization. The growth factors in IgG 2000 DF™ are similar to
the level and balance found in healthy individuals. TGFß-1 and IGG-I are involved in the restitution of cells damaged in the digestive tract. An increase in the level of IGF-I
in serum has been associated with increases in lean tissue mass and greater protein efficiency. TGFß-1 is known to stimulate the secretion of IgA.

RegeneMax: A New Product for Vanity and Health

It’s not often that you hear me talking about a product to improve ones looks. However, if it does so by improving your health I’m all for it.

This new clinically tested, patented product is RegenMax. Research performed at Vrije University in Brussels, Belgium, showed its effectiveness at reducing age related fine wrinkles by 30% in 20 weeks, while also helping thicken hair and strengthen nails. The really good news is that this is all done nutritionally; by efficiently nourishing the collagen, elastin and keratin in our bodies.

I got excited about this product when I first read about the influence that RegenMax has on collagen production in the body. Understanding how important a role collagen plays in our health and seeing the adverse affects of collagen decline in my patients is why I was so excited.

Collagen is one of the most important proteins in the body because it is a key component of muscles, ligaments, tendons, discs, bones and skin, as well as the corneas and lenses of our eyes. Collagen also strengthens blood vessels, which is very critical, as we get older (more on this later). My excitement is that this nutritional product has shown in research that it can have a positive influence on collagen production and therefore I expect real health benefits from this product for my patients.

We all recognize that skin, hair, and nails look better in youth. This is because in youth we have a rich abundance of collagen, elastin and keratin in our body. Unfortunately, our collagen, elastin and keratin levels begin to decline around the time we turn 18, with signs of this decline often showing as early as age 30. Women tend to show signs of this earlier than men, because their decline of collagen tends to happen more rapidly. If our collagen levels were to remain the same throughout our lifetime, we would undoubtedly look and function much more like we did when we were younger.

More good, but not surprising news is that further research on RegenMax at the University of London showed that it increased bone mineral density in women who were already taking their calcium and vitamin D, in just 12 months! It does this by providing additional nutrients, which not only increase the collagen formation in bone, but also support the specialized cells in bones, which “build new bone”. Improving collagen in bones not only makes them more dense it also makes them more flexible, which is a very important.

The reasons for the “appearance” benefits of RegenMax are that collagen “plumps” skin, removing wrinkles and preventing them from forming. With the increased levels of collagen formation, an added benefit is that it continuously hydrates your skin from the inside out. Water is literally drawn into collagen, moisturizing your skin also. Elastin gives our skin its ability to stretch and “bounce back”. Keratin is an important protein that gives your hair thickness and your nails strength and clarity.

As much as I appreciate these “appearance” benefits, the other benefits listed are the kind that can affect our daily level of well-being. One of the most significant benefits is stronger connective tissue. This causes less pain and injuries, decreased risk of fracture and stronger blood vessels as we age, which could potentially save lives via decreased risk of stroke.

One of the more concerning symptoms I see in some of my older patients is something called “purpura”. Purpura are small to large purple discolorations of the skin, something most of us have seen in the elderly. It is due to bleeding under the skin, and is a result of weaker blood vessels, caused by depleted collagen levels.

At the same time and often in the same patient, there is an additional problem, which in lay terms is referred to as “paper skin”. This is literally skin that has become very thin and lacks elasticity. The patients often remark that their skin tears from the slightest pull, sometimes from something as simple as their sheets pulling across their arm.

I am hopeful that we will see some reversal of this phenomena in our patients who suffer from this condition, and am relatively confident that the long term use of this product will significantly decrease or delay this happening in our patients as they move into their 60’s – 90’s and on to 100!

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this product.

Vegizyme

Price: $47.00

Add to Shopping Cart

For most initial nutritional programs, my patients receive Vegizyme or Quantum Digest. The main reason for this is that I want to ensure that we are maximizing your absorption of all the nutrients from your diet and the other supplements you are taking.

For many individuals with any persistent health challenge their levels of digestion is often less than optimal. Research has also shown that the secretion of digestive enzymes and acids decreases as many people age. Many nutritional experts recognize that digestion is a key to health, and optimal digestion is essential for optimal health to be realized. This is why digestive support is an important part of your program.

Vegizyme and Quantum Digest are very comprehensive enzyme products, supporting the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Therefore, one of these is included initially for most patients even if they have no digestive complaints. However, for individuals with persistent digestive symptoms, it is a first step in soothing the digestive tract and often decreasing their chronic symptoms.

For patients trying to lose weight, the complete absorption of the more challenging foods to digest, proteins and fats, are key to balancing blood sugar and the many related symptoms. These products will increase the success of many weight loss programs.

Dosage of Vegizyme most commonly begins at one per meal, at times increasing to two per meal, for individuals with more compromised digestion. This product is very well tolerated and for more complex digestive problems, just the first step in a multi-step process of using more and more complex products.

For most patients over 40 or 50, it is likely that they will continue with either Vegizyme or one of our other digestive support products, to ensure maximum digestion and absorption for the rest of their life. Oftentimes this will protect one from some of the common nutritionally related conditions that often arise as people age.

If you have any further questions regarding the use of Vegizyme for yourself or for a loved one, please let us know.

VITAMIN D3 PLAYS AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN CALCIUM ABSORPTION AND BONE HEALTH

- Immunomodulatory
- Supports healthy immune function
- Supports healthy skin
- Cytokine modulator
- Supports healthy cartilage and joints
- Supports healthy vascular tone
- May support healthy blood lipid levels

For many people, the principal source of vitamin D is through exposure of the skin to sunlight. Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3, is formed from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin after exposure to UV light. Unfortunately, due to the risk of skin cancer, many individuals are limiting sunlight exposure or using liberal amounts of sun protective factors (SPF) in sun screen lotions, both of which limit vitamin D production in the skin. In the body, cholecalciferol is hydroxylated to calcidiol in the liver and then to calcitriol in the kidneys, which is the active form of vitamin D. The active form of vitamin D works with parathyroid hormone and calcitonin to regulate serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations.

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY causes increased parathyroid hormone activity which acts to maintain serum calcium and phosphate concentrations at the expense of skeletal calcium.

BONE HEALTH: Various studies have found an association between low serum levels of vitamin D and joint disorders as well as decreased bone density. In addition, risk for progression of these disorders increases substantially with both low vitamin D intake and decreased serum levels. Some of the best results obtained in studies on bone health have supplemented patients with 700 - 800 IU vitamin D per day, which is considerably higher than the recommended 400 IU per day. The best results were obtained when vitamin D was given along with calcium.

IMMUNE AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPPORT: One researcher described vitamin D as a flexible bidirectional immunomodulator. The cytokines interleukin 1 (IL-1) and interleukin 2 (IL-2) appear to be regulated favorably under the influence of vitamin D.

HEALTHY SKIN: Topical vitamin D analogues have been shown to be effective in treatment of certain skin disorders. Vitamin D has anti-proliferative activity on keratinocytes and stimulated epidermal cell differentiation.

CARDIOVASCULAR SUPPORT: Epidemiological data indicates that a low vitamin D status is associated with vascular disorders. Clinical studies have demonstrated an inverse relationship between circulating vitamin D levels and plasma rennin activity. It should also be noted that vitamin D has been shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation.

Vitamin K2 with D3

Price: $28.50

Upon further investigation of Vitamin D products and research I have come across a new product, a combination of Vitamin K + Vitamin D. If you are concerned about your bone density, and/or a risk of atherosclerosis (calcification of your arteries), this “Vitamin K2 with D3” is the preferred form for you. Otherwise our D-4000 is a fine product, and it is less expensive.

Vitamin K is not something you hear about as much as vitamin D. However, it has always been considered a very important nutrient for blood clotting support. Most of the research on vitamin K has been focused on the K1 form that is found in vegetables. However, there are other forms of Vitamin K, the K2 family. These are mostly found in certain aged cheeses, eggs and an unusual Japanese fermented product called Natto. The K2 family has received much more attention in recent years.

The research is clear that individuals with higher levels of Vit. K2 are at lower risk for calcification of their hearts’ arteries (20% lower) and aorta. The same process that works well to decrease the deposition of calcium where we don’t want it actually increases the amount of calcium deposition where we do want it, in our bones

The Japanese who consume Natto regularly benefit from high levels of Vitamin K through decreased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. In our new Vitamin K2 – D3, the vitamin K is the same that’s found in Natto, without the taste.

In my previous articles on Vitamin D, I mentioned that research has shown the reduction of risk of numerous cancers with Vit. D supplementation. These cancers include; colon, breast, ovarian, prostate, skin cancers, as well as heart disease. Vit. D deficiency has been associated with increased blood pressure, peripheral artery disease and ischemic heart disease, as well as a higher overall death rate than normal vitamin D levels. Recent research also shows an association with low blood levels of Vit. D and Parkinson’s disease, as well as Multiple Sclerosis.

So, if you are going to take your vitamin D, our new Vitamin K2 with D3 may be the preferred choice for you. I have switched, and take two per day.
