Super Vitamin B Complex is an advanced and complete B-vitamin supplement. It provides substantial amounts of all eleven B-vitamins, including the co-enzyme forms of vitamins B2 and B6 for enhanced bioavailability, and extra pantothenic acid for adrenal support. Instead of using vitamins derived from allergen-containing plant sources such as yeast or corn, the B vitamins in this formula are synthesised from hydrocarbons, which originate ultimately from living sources, with very low allergy potential.
Why Take Additional B Vitamins In Supplement Form? The modern diet has for many years been known to provide fewer nutrients than historically mainly due to depletion of soil and farming methods and storage techniques. In addition, modern living also increases stress on the body, and B vitamins can provide some support against this. B Vitamins are involved in the metabolism and use of all three macro nutrients: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. They are involved in building red blood cells, and support the integrity of the nervous system’s protective covering. Perhaps of most relevance of supplemental B vitamins, is the benefit on ENERGY.

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a premier antioxidant, antitoxin, and immune support nutrient. NAC is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, and is a dietary precursor to reduced glutathione. Glutathione, cysteine, and NAC are sulphydryl (-SH) substances, which play crucial roles in the body’s natural antioxidant defences.
Antioxidant activity is important to homeostasis and to normal metabolism. NAC has superior bioavailability compared to glutathione and cysteine. As potent antioxidant free radical scavengers, the natural sulphydryl (-SH) substances can readily donate electrons, which makes them able to combine with, and thereby neutralise, a great variety of potentially toxic, reactive substances.
These -SH substances can also help protect against radiation damage, which is largely mediated by free radical formation. They are important physiological antitoxins, and are valuable for optimal immune function
As a precursor to glutathione (GSH), NAC is an excellent biochemical resource for aiding detoxification of environmental toxins (xenobiotics). It may contribute by supporting the mercury, lead and cadmium clearance from the body, NAC may help to buffer these heavy metals.
Reduced glutathione has long been recognised to play an essential role in immune function, especially via its antioxidant/reducing properties.
GSH may contribute to lower mucus viscosity, so that the lungs may be cleared more easily.
GSH levels in the various organs can decline with age, and NAC may contribute to the amelioration of GSH deficiencies related to aging.
Oral supplementation with glutathione appears not to be the best means for repleting the body’s glutathione levels, since it is largely broken down by intestinal enzymes and comparatively little is absorbed intact. NAC, on the other hand, appears to be an excellent dietary starting substance for building up reduced glutathione.
NAC is well tolerated and well absorbed, and is also more stable than its non-acetylated relative L-cysteine, which has a tendency to “auto-oxidise” (break down spontaneously within the gut and body).

Patented emulsified Oil of Oregano in sustained release form. Biotics Research Corporation is widely recognised for its emulsified fat-soluble nutrients and other lipids, microemulsified with the practical objective of increased absorption and bioavailability. This technology has now been applied to the oil of oregano. By emulsifying oregano extracts, the effective surface area of the oil is dramatically increased.
An additional step was to apply a sustained release mechanism to A.D.P., assuring a slow release throughout the digestive tract. The combined effect of emulsification and sustained release is to enhance intestinal exposure to the essential oil.
Unwelcome guests in the human gastrointestinal tract are more common and have a much greater negative impact on health than is commonly recognised. These bugs range from bacteria and yeasts to parasites and amoebas, hence the need to address these imbalances with anti-microbial agents. Nature contains many different anti-microbials and oregano oil extract, containing the active ingredient of carvacrol, is one of these. It has a broad range of action addressing many different species including B.

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® from Biotics Research Corporation supplies 2,000 IU per drop of vitamin D3 as a micro-emulsion for enhanced absorption and utilisation, which is particularly important for those with malabsorption conditions. Clinical use of Biotics’ micro-emulsified vitamin D provides significant improvements in serum levels of 25-OH-vitamin D following supplementation. Bio-D-Mulsion Forte™ is an oil-in-water emulsion liquid. Vitamin D oil has been dispersed into microscopic particles to aid absorption and assimilation. There are 750 drops per small bottle (1 fl oz) which offers tremendous value for money for a highly absorbed form of this vital nutrient.
Much research has been undertaken on understanding the role of vitamin D within the body over the past 5 or so years. Its benefits are numerous and deficiency is widespread and its safety profile is extremely high. While the importance of vitamin D for musculoskeletal health is well documented, its importance in numerous other aspects of health are now recognized. They include (but are not limited to) cardiovascular health and immune function.
Therefore the argument to take additional amounts of vitamin D in supplement form is strongly compelling.

GSH-Plus provides L-Glutathione, fortified with N-acetyl-L-cysteine and glycine, constituents of the tripeptide Glutathione. It may be considered when supplemental L-Glutathione is indicated, particularly within the GI tract as L-Glutathione is poorly absorbed.
Glutathione (GSH) possesses significant antioxidant activity and plays an essential role in the health of humans. It functions as one of the most powerful intra-cellular antioxidants, and participates as an important component in detoxification.
GSH has been implicated in the regulation of enzyme activities, in DNA synthesis, in maintaining the viability of chloroplasts and mitochondria, in the protection of nitrogenase from inhibition by oxygen, and in the regulation of gene expression.{Mullineaux PM, Creissen GP. Glutathione Reductase: Regulation and Role in Oxidative Stress. Oxidative Stress and the Molecular Biology of Antioxidant Defenses. © 1997 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. 667-713.}
Inadequate amounts of glutathione can also result in tissue oxidative stress.
The levels of glutathione decrease naturally with age, as well as with certain stressors, including exercise, smoking, and pollution. Depleted levels of glutathione are recognised to result in susceptibility to cellular deterioration, as a result of multiple circumstances, including oxidative stress, free radical exposure, infections, and toxins.

Flavored with natural island fruit punch, natural coconut and natural French vanilla flavorings and sweetened with sucralose, it tastes delicious. Free of common allergens. Gluten and casein free. Ultra Tested®.
Calcium is a mineral that is an important component of a healthy diet and necessary for life. Approximately 98% of the body’s calcium is stored in bones and teeth. Calcium is critical for building bones and teeth in childhood and for maintaining strong bones and teeth thereafter. In the rest of the body, calcium supports heart function, circulation, nerve function and muscle tone.
Deficiencies can lead to rickets, poor blood clotting, osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures. Over-retention can cause hypercalcemia (elevated levels of calcium in the blood), impaired kidney function and decreased absorption of other minerals.
Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium, so it is important to make sure your diet contains sufficient amounts of that nutrient.
