Zn-Zyme Forte™ supplies 25 mg of elemental zinc per tablet. Zinc is a mineral essential to both normal health and to optimal cellular function. As a cofactor for an excess of seventy enzymes, zinc plays an important role in many cellular processes. Zinc is also a component of specific DNA binding proteins, known as zinc finger proteins, commonly referred to as zinc fingers. Zinc fingers are vital for nutrient/gene interactions. Consider Zn-Zyme Forte™ when a higher level of zinc supplemental is indicated.

Bio-C Plus 1000™ supplies Vitamin C (as calcium and magnesium ascorbates), along with calcium and magnesium as mineral ascorbates, in addition to citrus bioflavonoids (citrus fruit), Superoxide Dismutase (from vegetable culture), and Catalase (from vegetable culture). At higher dosages mixed ascorbates are less likely to cause digestive distress as compared to ascorbic acid. Use wherever the need for vitamin C is determined.

Bio-DK Caps™ supplies 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D₃, 550 mcg of vitamin K (as K₁ phytonadione and K₂ menaquinone-7) as a micro-emulsion for enhanced absorption and utilization, which is particularly important for those with malabsorption conditions. In addition to emulsified forms of vitamins D and K, Bio-DK Caps™ contains superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. SOD is an enzyme that aids in cell repair and provides antioxidant protection against cellular damage from free radicals and environmental toxins. Catalase in an enzyme that converts hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water, also showing strong antioxidant properties.

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® supplies 2,000 IU per drop of vitamin D3 as a micro-emulsion for enhanced absorption and utilization, which is particularly important for those with malabsorption conditions. Published clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvements in 25(OH)D concentrations (202% increase) in as little as six weeks after beginning supplementation with Bio-D-Mulsion Forte. The majority of people in the United States do not synthesize sufficient vitamin D in order to meet physiological requirements.

EGCG, an important catechin supplied as a green tea extract, possesses significant antioxidant activity and provides related neuroprotective action, and has been shown to support normal, healthy cardiovascular and immune function.

NAC supplies N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a derivative of L-Cysteine, which is more stable and better absorbed than L-Cysteine. NAC functions as a potent antioxidant. As the precursor to glutathione intracellular synthesis, it is essential for the synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione is a critical component of the immune system, as it is an important intracellular water-soluble antioxidant. As part of this function, glutathione plays a vital role as the cofactor for the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and glutathione transferase. Glutathione is also important to the liver, as the liver utilizes it for drug detoxification. As a metabolite of cysteine, NAC plays an important role in detoxification, and is hepatoprotective. NAC functions in protecting cells against oxidative stress, and contributes to important bodily reactions. As such it is a part of the defensive mechanism toward potential carcinogens, as well as against DNA damage. The role of NAC in acetaminophen toxicity is widely documented, however, NAC contributes to other protective mechanisms as well, including drug conjugation and excretion, peroxide and free radical destruction, maintenance of the redox state of NADPH-NADP, acid-base balance, and the synthesis of sulfated compounds. NAC also plays a role in the development of the central nervous system. There have been numerous studies using NAC, with COPD, particularly amongst patients who smoke. Utilizing NAC in smokers with chronic bronchitis showed a significant reduction in the number of positive bacterial cultures in these patients. {Riise GC, et al. Eur Respir J.1994 Jan; 7(1):94-101.} Another study utilizing NAC indicated potential benefits for chronic bronchitis, resulting in a significantly lower exacerbation rate in patients administered NAC, compared to placebo. {Rassmussen, JB & Glennow, C. Eur Respir J. 1988 Apr;1(4):351-5.} Since it easily passes through cellular membranes, NAC has been shown to be readily absorbed. It is also resistant to enzymatic breakdown.

Selenomethionine, an organic form of selenium, is a readily absorbable form of this essential trace mineral. Selenium functions as an integral part of glutathione peroxidase, an important antioxidant enzyme, and is required for normal thyroid function.

A unique, broad-spectrum multiple designed to specifically support normal, healthy immune function. Provides a wide array of vitamin, mineral, botanical, amino acid and organ/glandular specific support.

Melatonin supports a normal circadian rhythm for healthy sleep patterns, and provides support for GI health via its antioxidant effect. B6 (as P-5-P) and magnesium support protein synthesis, GABA production, dopa to dopamine conversion, and structural and dynamic functions including modulation of enzyme activities.
