More Information:	Tribulus, also known as puncture vine, is a herb that has been used in the traditional medicine of China and India for centuries. The active compounds in tribulus are called steroidal saponins, found primarily in the leaf. The fruits have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment of eye trouble, edema, abdominal distention, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases while in India its usage was used for the purpose of impotency, poor appetite, and cardiovascular diseases. It is also sometimes used to treat jaundice and urinary ailments. In Ayurvedic medicine, Tribulus Terrestris is referred to as Gokshura and is used in lower back pain, respiratory disorders, sciatica, dry cough, inflammation of the pelvic and sacral region. In the mid-1990s, tribulus terrestris became known in North America after Eastern European Olympic athletes said that taking tribulus helped their performance. Tribulus supplements are often used by people aiming to build muscle mass an increase strength, according to the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. A doctor should be consulted before you add any supplements to your diet. Some body builders use T. terrestris as post cycle therapy or "PCT". After they have completed an anabolic-steroid cycle, they use it under the assumption that it will restore the body's natural testosterone levels. The extract helps to increase the body's natural testosterone levels and thereby improve male sexual performance and help build muscle. Tribulus has shown protective effects in Kidneys in an experimental model of cadium toxicity, where 5mg/kg bodyweight Tribulus was not significantly different than 75mg/kg Vitamin E. Protective effects have also been noted with mercury toxicity in kidney tissue. By the other hand Tribulus Terrestris, appears to protect cardiomyocytes from cardiac reperfusion injury secondary to Protein Kinase C epsilon (PKCε) activation Tribulus Terrestris appears to have anti-inflammatory properties in stimulated macrophages, as an induction of COX-2 and inhibition of iNOS (anti-inflammatory events) have been noted in vitro with greater than 80% inhibition at 10mcg/mL REFERENCES Study of the Biological Activities of Tribulus Terrestris Extracts; Ahmed A.

More Information:	CAL-MAG 2:1 is recommended to correct deficiencies of Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc. Calcium is an element necessary for the maintenance of teeth and bones. As we age, the body becomes less and less capable to absorb Calcium from food leading to increased risk of osteoporosis. The absorption of Calcium is supported by synergistic minerals such as Magnesium and Zinc as well as the presence of Vitamin D3. By associating the minerals with a hydrolyzed vegetable protein, their bio-availability is also increased. A ratio of 2:1 Calcium to Magnesium is considered as being optimal. The adult Adequate Intake (AI) of Calcium specified in Health Canada monograph is 1,000 mg1. The shortage of Magnesium in foods has lead to a widespread Magnesium deficiency in the adult population. A study conducted at USC Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, USA and published in Journal of the American College of Nutrition concluded that the current intake of Magnesium from food is only 68% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) leading to Magnesium deficiency in the general popuation2. A Study carried out in Germany concluded that the reference test number of 0.75 mmol/l Mg is inadequate to diagnose Magnesium deficiency. 0.9 mmol/l Mg is the more adequate number3. Magnesium deficiency cannot be corrected only by the Recommended Daily Allowance. Based on the most up to date research, Health Canada recommends a Adequate Intake (AI) of 500 mg per day in order to correct Magnesium deficiency4. Similar to Magnesium, researchers have demonstrated that the adult population suffers from different degrees of zinc deficiency5. Zinc deficiency cannot be corrected only by Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Health Canada recommends an Adequate Intake (AI) of Zinc of up to 50 mg per day6. The doses of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) recommended by Health Canada for adults is 0.8-25 mcg per day with an AI of 5-15 mcg per day 7.

More Information:	What is GABA? GABA is a major neurotransmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system. Either low GABA levels or decreased GABA function in the brain is associated with several psychiatric and neurological disorders, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, epilepsy. Studies indicate that GABA can improve relaxation and enhance sleep. L-Glutamic Acid is a neurotransmitter essential for brain cognitive functioning, learning and memory. Vitamin B6, in particular Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate restores the activity of the brain glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) which is the enzyme necessary for the conversion of glutamate into GABA. How Does it Work? GABA works in the same way as prescription tranquilizers, like valium, but without the chance of addiction. In times of stress, anxiety or hyperactivity GABA binds in the motor centers in the brain. It can treat low sex drive if it is caused by stress, hypertension due to tension in the vessel walls and epilepsy from errant brain signals. Natural health practitioners for stress, hyperactivity, anxiety, hypertension, epilepsy and low libido recommend GABA It is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it regulates brain and nerve cell activity by inhibiting the number of neurons firing in the brain. GABA is referred to as the brain's natural calming agent. By inhibiting over-stimulation of the brain, GABA may help promote relaxation and ease nervous tension. It can be used as an alternative to the herb kava kava. GABA is found in capsules, tablets or as a powder. It is best absorbed when taken between meals. If you take an individual amino acid supplement for longer than one month, take it with an amino acid complex to prevent the deficiency of other amino acids. Stress & Anxiety Who hasnt had anxious moments in their life? Stressful situations are part of our daily existence. Anxiety evolved as a coping mechanism to alert us to danger and allow us to act quickly and efficiently. It becomes maladaptive when it restricts our activities or causes our body to be in a constant state of fear. In most cases, anxiety is due to thoughts or emotions. The situation that brings on anxiety is individual but our body reacts to the perceived threat the same way it would if there was an actual threat. In other cases, substances like caffeine, nicotine, toxins or lack of sleep can contribute to anxiety. Medical conditions such as hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, strokes, mitral valve prolapse, iron deficiency anemia or adrenal tumors cause the nervous system to respond with anxiety symptoms. Anxiety causes physical stress on the body. The autonomic nervous system is activated resulting in a sense of uneasiness, sweating and trembling or outright anxiety attacks. Attacks can include diarrhea, heart palpitations, memory blocks and inappropriate behavior. Prolonged anxiety can manifest with headaches, digestive complaints, impotence, insomnia, an inability to relax or a sensation of a lump in the throat. Conventional treatment involves the use of antidepressants or tranquilizing drugs to reduce panic attacks. These treatments do not assess the root cause of the anxiety. Side effects of these drugs include drowsiness, light-headedness, fatigue, weight gain, decreased libido and dependency. Behavioral therapy and other forms of counseling can be of significant help to many who suffer from anxiety. Music and colour therapy as well as biofeedback have also been studied for anxiety. You Can Support the Nervous System By: Taking a high quality B Complex vitamin. Using Herbs to aid relaxation. Avoiding coffee and other nervous system stimulants. Avoiding refined sugar. Consuming leafy green vegetables daily. Eating a whole foods diet. Reducing stress with meditation and breathing techniques. Getting adequate sleep. Supplement with Calcium & Magnesium Stress & Lifestyle Connection Stress is usually thought of as a negative factor in our daily lives but it is necessary part of life. Without stress life becomes boring. The key to stress, as with everything else in life, is balance. Enough to keep you interested but not enough to become overwhelmed. Individuals have different thresholds for stress. What is seen as stressful to one person may not be stressful to another. The result of constant stress can be tense muscles, headaches, stomach cramps, teeth grinding, decreased immunity, exhaustion and insomnia. Emotionally stress can lead to memory problems, depression, emotional outbursts and panic attacks. It is believed that constant stress is a factor in the development of many chronic diseases. We often ignore the first signs of stress, such as headaches and insomnia, and use medication to stop the symptoms. We use stimulants, like caffeine, to allow ourselves to keep working when the body is trying to tell us to slow down. The masking of stress symptoms eventually causes the body to breakdown. The standard North American and European diet is deficient in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It is high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and chemical additives and preservatives. These substances not only do not give your body usable energy, but they also inhibit the use of good quality food by depleting enzymes and hormones necessary for energy conversion. The body must also deal with the toxic by-products of foods like bleached flour and sugar, artificial sweeteners and flavours and trans-fatty acids. All of these stressors compromise the health of an individual. Irregular sleeping and eating patterns make one susceptible to stress related illness. Sleep is an essential component of our bodys repair mechanisms. During sleep the body is in an anabolic, or building, state. It has time to regenerate cells and replenish hormones, enzymes and neurotransmitters. Insomnia prevents the repair of normal damage from the bodys daily activity. The brain also requires sleep in order to process information that is learned throughout the day. Irregular eating patterns stress the body by not providing nutrients at regular intervals. When the body is lacking nutrients it compromises the bodys functioning. When an individual finally does eat the body rushes to use the nutrients and store whatever it does not need, in anticipation that the next meal may not come for a while Lack of exercise contributes to stress by compromising the circulation of all molecules around the body, including food particles, oxygen and hormones. Circulation is also responsible for flushing waste products out of the cells and taking them to the appropriate organs for processing and excretion. The venous system contains no values so blood flow back to the heart is dependent on movement of the surrounding musculature. Exercise also removes tension from muscles and offers an outlet for unexpressed emotions.

It activates almost all the enzymes of the glycolytic and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, which transform fats and sugars into useable energy. Without magnesium, ATP is quickly broken down into the low-energy adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate, which cannot deliver energy for cell metabolism and transport. It is also needed for the very structure of mitochondria, the cell's "power plants:" magnesium defiency causes swelling and disruption of the cristae (the folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where oxidative phosphorylation of ADP into ATP occurs) and leads to a decreased number of mitochondria per cell. Maintaining adequate ATP levels is critical to brain function. The brain stores 20% of total body ATP. Low levels of ATP may cause a decline in cognitive function - the "brain fog" so commonly reported, in which victims find themselves struggling through a dark haze, unable to concentrate and often forgetting simple thoughts and tasks.

Since the 16th century, chaga mushrooms were recorded as being used in alternative medicine of the European Eastern and Northern Countries as a remedy for cancer, gastritis, ulcers, and tuberculosis of the bones. The active constituents are thought to be a combination of triterpenes, such as betulinic acid, sterols, and polysaccharides. Like many medicinal mushrooms, chaga is rich in beta glucans which have immunomodulating activities. Beta glucans bind to Complement Receptor 3 (CR3) that allows the immune cells to recognize cancer cells as non-self". A hot water extract of chaga exhibited inhibitory and proapoptotic actions against colon cancer cell proliferation via up-regulation of Bax and caspase-3 and down-regulation of Bcl-2. In 1958, scientific studies in Finland and Russia found chaga provided an extraordinary effect in breast cancer, liver cancer, uterine cancer, and gastric cancer, as well as in hypertension and diabetes. In 1973 in an interesting case study including 50 patients about the effect of a Chaga extract on psoriasis was published in the Russian journal Vestnik Dermatologii i Venerologii. The outcome was almost 100% successful. Recent scientific research in Japan and China has been focused more on the anticancer potential and showed the effects of these specific polysaccharides to be comparable to chemotherapy and radiation, but without the side effects. Further research indicated these polysaccharides have strong anti-inflammatory and immune balancing properties, stimulating the body to produce natural killer cells to battle infections and tumour growth, instead of showing a direct toxicity against pathogens. Herbalist David Winston maintains it is the strongest anticancer medicinal mushroom. Russian literature Nobel Prize laureate Alexandr Solzhenitsyn wrote two pages on the medicinal use and value of chaga in his autobiographical novel, based on his experiences in a hospital in Tashkent, Cancer Ward (1968). In a 48-patient human clinical trial in Poland in 1957, 10 patients treated with chaga showed a reduction of tumor size, a decrease in pain, a decrease in the intensity and the frequency of hemorrhaging, and a recovery accompanied with better sleep, appetite and feelings of improvement. Most of these patients were females treated with chaga for cancer of the genital organs or breast cancer. Other apoptosis-inducing factors result in cleavage of caspases and nuclear fragmentation.

Konig Laboraorium's Vitamin E8

Vitamin E is a generic term and most people are referring to Alpha-tocopherol. In reality, Vitamin E exists in foods in 8 forms: tocopherols and tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta).

Alpha-tocopherol

Alpha-tocopherol is the only form of vitamin E that is actively maintained in the human body; therefore, it is the form of vitamin E found in the largest quantities in blood and tissues .

The main function of alpha-tocopherol in humans appears to be that of an antioxidant. Free radicals are formed primarily in the body during normal metabolism and also upon exposure to environmental factors, such as cigarette smoke or pollutants. Fats, which are an integral part of all cell membranes, are vulnerable to destruction through oxidation by free radicals. The fat-soluble vitamin, alpha-tocopherol, is uniquely suited to intercept free radicals and thus prevent a chain reaction of lipid destruction. Aside from maintaining the integrity of cell membranes throughout the body, alpha-tocopherol also protects the fats in low density lipoproteins (LDLs) from oxidation. Lipoproteins are particles composed of lipids and proteins that transport fats through the bloodstream. LDLs specifically transport cholesterol from the liver to the tissues of the body. Oxidized LDLs have been implicated in the development of cardiovascular diseases. When a molecule of alpha-tocopherol neutralizes a free radical, it is altered in such a way that its antioxidant capacity is lost. However, other antioxidants, such as vitamin C, are capable of regenerating the antioxidant capacity of alpha-tocopherol. alpha-tocopherol is known to inhibit the activity of protein kinase C, an important cell-signaling molecule. Alpha-tocopherol appears to also affect the expression and activities of molecules and enzymes in immune and inflammatory cells. Additionally, alpha-tocopherol has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and to enhance vasodilation

Gamma-tocopherol

The function of gamma-tocopherol in humans is presently unclear. Although the most common form of vitamin E in the American diet is gamma-tocopherol, blood levels of gamma-tocopherol are generally ten times lower than those of alpha-tocopherol.

Deficiency

Vitamin E deficiency has been observed in individuals with severe malnutrition, genetic defects affecting the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein, and fat malabsorption syndromes. For example, children with cystic fibrosis or cholestatic liver disease, who have an impaired capacity to absorb dietary fat and therefore fat-soluble vitamins, may develop symptomatic vitamin E deficiency. Severe vitamin E deficiency results mainly in neurological symptoms, including impaired balance and coordination (ataxia), injury to the sensory nerves (peripheral neuropathy), muscle weakness (myopathy), and damage to the retina of the eye (pigmented retinopathy). For this reason, people who develop peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, or retinitis pigmentosa should be screened for vitamin E deficiency. The developing nervous system appears to be especially vulnerable to vitamin E deficiency. It should be noted that symptomatic vitamin E deficiency in healthy individuals who consume diets low in vitamin E has never been reported.

Although true vitamin E deficiency is rare, marginal intake of vitamin E is relatively common in the U.S. Between 1988 and 1994, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III) examined the dietary intake and blood levels of alpha-tocopherol in 16,295 adults (over the age of 18). Twenty-seven percent of white participants, 41% of African Americans, 28% of Mexican Americans, and 32% of the other participants were found to have blood levels of alpha-tocopherol less than 20 micromoles/liter. This cutoff value was chosen because the literature suggests an increased risk for cardiovascular disease below this level. More recent data from NHANES 2003-2006 indicate that the average dietary intake of alpha-tocopherol from food (including enriched and fortified sources) among Americans 2 years and older is 6.9 mg/day. This intake is well below the current recommendation of 15 mg/day (see RDA). In fact, at this level of dietary intake, more than 90% of Americans do not meet daily dietary recommendations for vitamin E.

Vitamin E8 and the babies:

All babies are born deficient in vitamin E, but they normally overcome that deficiency in the first few weeks of their lives. Premature babies and some babies born at term may experience a variety of health problems as a result of vitamin E deficiency. Lack of normal reflexes, inability to orient itself, muscle weekness, and loss of balance are typical symptoms of vitamin E deficiency in babies.The developing nervous system appears to be especially vulnerable to vitamin E deficiency. For instance, children with severe vitamin E deficiency at birth rapidly develop neurological symptoms if not treated with vitamin E. In contrast, individuals who develop malabsorption of vitamin E in adulthood may not develop neurological symptoms for 10-20 years.

Cardiovascular disease

Results of at least five large observational studies suggest that increased vitamin E consumption is associated with decreased risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) or death from heart disease in both men and women. Each study was a prospective study that measured vitamin E consumption in presumably healthy people and followed them for a number of years to determine how many were diagnosed with or died as a result of heart disease. In two of the studies, individuals who consumed more than 7 mg/day of alpha-tocopherol in food were only approximately 35% as likely to die from heart disease as those who consumed less than 3-5 mg/day of alpha-tocopherol. Two other large studies observed a significantly reduced risk of heart disease only in women and men who consumed at least 100 IU of supplemental RRR-alpha-tocopherol (67 mg of RRR-alpha-tocopherol) daily. More recently, several studies have observed plasma or red blood cell levels of alpha-tocopherol to be inversely associated with the presence or severity of carotid atherosclerosis, detected using ultrasonography. A randomized, placebo-controlled, intervention trial in 39,876 women participating in the Women's Health Study found that supplementation with 600 IU of RRR-alpha-tocopherol (400 mg of RRR-alpha-tocopherol) every other day for ten years had no effect on the incidence of various cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction and stroke), but the vitamin E intervention decreased cardiovascular-related deaths by 24%. Analysis of data from the Women's Health Study also showed that women receiving the vitamin E intervention experienced a 21% reduction in risk of venous thromboembolism. However, a large RCT conducted in healthy middle-aged men (trial name: PHS II) observed that supplementation with 400 IU of synthetic alpha-tocopherol every other day for eight years had no significant effect on the risk of major cardiovascular events. The benefits of vitamin E supplementation in chronic disease prevention are discussed in a recent review. Intervention studies in patients with heart or renal disease have not shown vitamin E supplements to be effective in preventing heart attacks or death (see Disease Treatment).

Cancer

Many types of cancer are thought to result from oxidative damage to DNA caused by free radicals. The ability of alpha-tocopherol to neutralize free radicals has made it the subject of a number of cancer prevention studies.

The effect of vitamin E supplementation on prostate cancer risk has received particular attention in RCTs. A placebo-controlled intervention study that was designed to investigate the effect of alpha-tocopherol supplementation on prostate cancer. It was noted a 34% reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer in smokers given daily supplements of 50 mg of synthetic alpha-tocopherol (equivalent to 25 mg of RRR-alpha-tocopherol) daily. A meta-analysis that combined the results of this study with three other RCTs associated vitamin E supplement use with a 15% lower risk of prostate cancer.

Diabetes

Alpha-tocopherol supplementation of individuals with diabetes has been proposed because diabetes appears to increase oxidative stress and because cardiovascular complications (heart attack and stroke) are among the leading causes of death in diabetics. One study found a biochemical marker of oxidative stress (urinary excretion of F₂-isoprostanes) was elevated in type 2 diabetic individuals, and supplementation with 600 mg of synthetic alpha-tocopherol (equivalent to 300 mg of RRR-alpha-tocopherol) for 14 days reduced levels of the biomarker. Studies of the effect of alpha-tocopherol supplementation on blood glucose control have been contradictory. Some studies have shown that supplemental vitamin E improves insulin action and glucose disposal in type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic individuals, while other studies have reported minimal to no improvements in glucose metabolism of type 2 diabetics. Increased oxidative stress has also been documented in type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. One study reported that supplementing type 1 diabetics with only 100 IU/day of synthetic alpha-tocopherol (equivalent to 45 mg RRR-alpha-tocopherol) for one month significantly improved both glycosylated hemoglobin and triglyceride levels. This study also noted nonsignificant improvements in blood glucose levels following alpha-tocopherol supplementation.

Dementia (impaired cognitive function)

The brain is particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress, which is thought to play a role in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, some studies have documented low levels of vitamin E in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease. A large placebo-controlled intervention trial in individuals with moderate neurological impairment found that supplementation with 2,000 IU of synthetic alpha-tocopherol daily for two years (equivalent to 900 mg/day of RRR-alpha-tocopherol) significantly slowed progression of Alzheimer's dementia. In contrast, a placebo-controlled trial in patients with mild cognitive impairment reported that the same dosage of vitamin E did not slow progression to Alzheimer's disease over a 3-year period. After Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia (dementia resulting from strokes) is the most common type of dementia in the U.S. A case-control study examining risk factors for vascular dementia in elderly Japanese-American men found that supplemental vitamin E and vitamin C intake was associated with a significantly decreased risk of vascular and other types of dementia but not Alzheimer's dementia. Among those without dementia, vitamin E supplement use was associated with better scores on cognitive tests. Although these findings are promising, further studies are required to determine the role of alpha-tocopherol supplementation in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.

More Information:	Clinoptilolite-zeolite and its Principles of Function Natural clinoptilolite-zeolite is a microporous tuff stone, an aluminum silicate with crystal lattice canals of 0.4 nm, filled with ions and crystal water. The crystal lattice of zeolite originated millions of years ago in volcanic lava earth and lava ashes expelled during eruptions and falling into the sea, combining with the colloidal, boiling sea water. Zeolite may contain all of the elements of the periodic table. So far, in natural zeolites (clinoptilolites) at least 34 minerals have been detected. Frequently, they are present only in traces, as required by the living body of a highly evolved species. It is assumed that most elements of the periodic table are contained in zeolites. Solely clinoptilolite-zeolite is suitable for the treatment of humans and animals. The blocking of receptors with excess environmental toxins results in an impaired absorption of essential minerals. If minerals are to be applied, this excess of pollutants needs to be eliminated first. Otherwise, the applied minerals will have no effect or simply will be excreted again. Today, this is true for almost everybody. Pollutants will be attracted by the crystal lattice of the zeolite via physical forces. The ions released in the lattice can bind to the organism's receptors and eliminate dismineralosis as well as oxidative stress. Zeolite also has radical scavenger capabilities. The crystal lattices fraught with pollutants are excreted with the stools. What are the silicon rich natural minerals clinoptilolitezeolite capable of? Selective ion exchange: Export of pollutant ions of all kinds, including radionuclides, and import of essential minerals. Adsorption: In union with the ion exchange function the adsorption of pollutants, bacteria, and viruses, detoxification of the body," 300-fold increase in uptake and bioavailability of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and other bio-regulators. Molecular sieving function: Stabilization of the molecular sieve as a protective shield for cells in the extracellular matrix, thus regulating the metabolism. Hydration: Due to the binding of water, a 400-fold increase in tissue function and tonus, in particular of the connective tissue, e.g. prevention of wrinkle formation. Protein synthesis for building proteins. Regulation of the acid-base balance (deacidification of the organism). Growth, healing: Cell and tissue growth, cell and tissue repair. Rhythm timing. Protection of the electrolytic and electrophysiological processes with the semiconductor feature of silica (e.g., ECG, EEG). Catalyst function for bio-molecular life processes. What is clinoptilolite-zeolite good for? Detoxification of the body, removal of pollutants, capture of free radicals Increasing the stability of the immune system and resistance against diseases Controlling mineral metabolism Regulating functions of blood circulation, nervous system, and digestion Increasing mental and physical performance Inflammation inhibition, acceleration of healing Skin care Inhibition of the aging process Anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects Stress reducing effect Soothing, positive effect on sleep Optimizing the processing of important life substances Anti-fungal effects inside the body and on the skin Attenuation of side-effects of pharmaceuticals and other substances Attenuation of the effects of recreational drugs such as alcohol and caffeine Natural clinoptilolite-zeolite is characterized by high thermal stability and resistance to aggressive substances, in particular to acids and ionizing radiation. No harmful effects have been found in humans and animals when given in tolerable doses over the long term.

More Information:	Provita Nutrition' s Golden SealCoptis C Forte Coptis is known as Goldthread, Rhizoma Coptidis, Yellowroot, or Coptidis in many countries. Its Latin name is Coptis chinensis, a plant from the Berberidaceae family. It is a relative of the peony. Coptis chinensis is a traditional Chinese herb similar to Hydrastis canadensis but contains a larger spectrum of alkaloids such as berberine, hydrastinine, coptisine and palmatine. It has been used traditionally to alleviate infectious and inflammatory conditions of the digestive system through antimicrobial activity against bacterium, fungi, and some antimicrobial activity against protozoa and mycobacterium. The alkaloid berberine is renown for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity . Coptis also aids digestion and has anti-parasitic activity. It is efficient against Helicobacter pylori, Giardia, Klebsiella, Borrelia (Lyme disease), Candida, protozoans, helminths, and chlamydia. Piperine extracted from Piper nigrum is recognized for stimulating digestion and also for its anti-bacterial action in the digestive system. The anti-inflammatory extract of Coptis chinensis has proven beneficial in hepatocellular carcinoma in a study conducted in 2009 at the University of Hong Kong. A comprehensive compilation of the effects of taking Coptis chinensis (Rhizoma Coptidis) root was published in 2009 by a group of researchers from Tianjin Pharmaceutical Research Institute, China. It was concluded that Coptis chinensis root extract has extensive pharmacological activities including anti-carcinogenic potential anti-microbial, hypoglycemic activity and LDL cholesterol reduction, anti-inflammatory action and anti free radicals. Because its antibacterial effect, Coptis Chinensis is effective against Staphylococcus aureus. The dose of this plant preparation matters a lot for those who are going to treat certain health disorders, as the influence of different doses is opposite. For example, low dose of Coptis increases blood pressure and stimulates the brain, while high one decreases blood pressure and sedates, resulting in drowsiness. Besides, large amounts may cause upset stomach. REFERENCES 1.

More Information:	Evening Primrose Oil: The Evening Primrose is a plant (Oenothera biennis) and it has been commonly known as "tree primrose" and "sun drop". It was often used for stomach and liver complaints, coughs and female disorders. Evening primrose oil is an oil rich in essential fatty acids; polyunsaturated fats that are as essential as vitamins and minerals for the maintenance of good health. Provita Nutrition's Evening Primrose Oil-500 is a natural source of a very important nutrient, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), a member of what chemists call the omega-6 family of fatty acids. Fatty acids are important constituent parts of all fats. The body, for reasons of health, is required to make GLA from linoleic acid, the head of the omega-6 family line. Linoleic acid is found in the common vegetable oils with omega-6 content, such as corn oil, canola oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, sesame oil and olive oil. How it works: Many of us cannot convert LA to GLA efficiently. Dietary deficiencies( lack in adequate levels of vitamins B6 and B3, as well as magnesium and zinc), disease conditions, processed oils, trans fatty acids, heated oils, alcohol, aging, viral infections and sugar consumption block, slow down, or interfere with the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of LA to GLA. The result is that virtually all North Americans are deficient in GLA. Supplementing with evening primrose oil can enrich the body¹s GLA supply and restore the production of beneficial prostaglandins derived from GLA. Research completed over the last 20 years has confirmed that supplementation with evening primrose oil has beneficial effects in numerous diseases and conditions. EPO- 500 and Premenstrual Syndrome: PMS has been linked to excessive and incorrect prostaglandin production. Women with PMS may have a deficiency of prostaglandin E1 at the central nervous system and in other tissue such as breast tissue. Supplementing with GLA may raise the body¹s production of this prostaglandin. The most popular and scientifically documented method is to supplement with GLA in the form of evening primrose oil. Rigorous scientific studies have shown that supplementing with evening primrose oil has a significant effect on symptoms of PMS. Evening primrose oil helps in improving premenstrual headaches, depression, irritability, and bloating. Evening primrose oil also dramatically relieves premenstrual breast pain and tenderness. EPO-500 and Breast Health: The pain and tenderness associated with premenstrual breast pain and fibrocystic breasts has been alleviated with evening primrose oil in more than one scientific study. In 1985, when 291 women took three grams per day of evening primrose oil for three to six months, almost half of the 92 women with cyclic breast pain experienced improvement compared with one-fifth of the patients who received the placebo. In the course of treatment, it has been detected that women with breast pain have unusually low concentrations of GLA and metabolites from GLA. When patients receive supplements of evening primrose oil, the concentration of GLA metabolites increases and the concentration of saturated fats in the breast decreases. This may also have long term implications for prevention of breast diseases such as breast cancer. *EPO-500 and Pregnancy and Fetal Development:* Essential fatty acids(EFA) have a unique role during pregnancy because of the rapid development of new cell growth, new tissues, and new organ systems in a developing fetus. Fetal development is associated with a high EFA requirement, and this supply is dependent on the amount and availability of EFAs from the mother. Prostaglandins are also involved in the development and clinical expression of pre-eclampsia (the simultaneous occurrence of the clinical triad of hypertension, edema and protein in the urine at any time during the course of the pregnancy). These prostaglandins are modulators of vascular smooth muscle tone and platelet aggregation (blood platelets sticking together). Pre-eclampsia is characterized by increased vasoconstriction, frequently associated with increased platelet aggregation, reduced uteroplacental blood flow, and premature delivery. In a placebo-controlled clinical trial, a group of pregnant women receiving a combination of evening primrose oil and fish had a significantly lower incidence of edema. *EPO-500 and Menopause:* Evening primrose oil and other oils containing GLA are popularly consumed by women to decrease the symptoms of menopause. GLA in the form of evening primrose oil has been found to reduce the maximum number of night time flushes associated with menopause. Many other herbal supplements are available to relieve menopausal symptoms and these may be used in conjunction with EPO-500 for greater benefit. *EPO-500 and Arthritis:* Many studies on GLA have shown that individuals with rheumatoid arthritis experience significant improvements in their symptoms within the first six months of use. They also continue to improve by as much as 50 percent in the number of tender joints, 54 percent in the reduction of tender joints, and 42 percent in the reduction in swollen joints. Overall, morning stiffness can decrease on average by 67 percent, and pain can be reduced on average by 27 percent.13, 14 Studies using evening primrose oil also consistently show that individuals using 1.5 to 2.8 grams of GLA daily can reduce their use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. *EPO-500 and Diabetes:* Diabetes is associated with abnormalities in essential fatty acid metabolism. One of these abnormalities is an impairment in the conversion of LA to GLA. By supplementing with GLA in the form of evening primrose oil, we can bypass this impairment and give the body the GLA it needs. Individuals with diabetic related neuropathies have been studied using GLA. Significant favourable changes have been observed in muscle strength, hot and cold thresholds, sensation, and reflexes *EPO-500 and Heart Disease:* *High cholesterol:* Although fish oils and flax oil have received considerable attention for their role in reducing heart disease due to their effects on blood lipids and blood pressure, we shouldn't forget about the role of other essential fatty acids. For example, supplementing with 3 grams of GLA daily for four months has been shown to decrease triglyceride levels by 48 percent, increase HDL ("good" cholesterol) by 22 percent, and significantly reduce total cholesterol and LDL ("bad" cholesterol). We should always include evening primrose oil supplementation in our heart disease treatment and prevention plans in addition to other EFA oils. High blood pressure: High blood pressure (a reading above 140/90) is another risk factor for heart disease. More than 60 double-blind studies have demonstrated that either fish oil supplements or flaxseed oil are effective in lowering blood pressure. Again, we would be wise not to forget about the potential of evening primrose oil in this regard. In a study combining evening primrose oil and fish oil supplementation, blood pressure was significantly lowered when compared to evening primrose oil plus sunflower and evening primrose oil plus flax oil. *EPO-500 and Osteoporosis:* It appears evident from the published research that we must expand our use of EFAs to maximize calcium metabolism and preserve bone health. There is a growing body of evidence and research to warrant advice about EFAs and calcium metabolism, bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis. EFAs have been shown to increase calcium absorption from the gut (in part by enhancing the effects of vitamin D), reduce urinary excretion of calcium, increase calcium that is deposited in the bone and improve the strength of bone. Adults with osteoporosis who are given fish oil show an increase in calcium levels and an increase in urinary calcium clearance. GLA in particular has been shown to reduce the excretion of calcium, inhibit bone reabsorption and markers of bone turnover while at the same time increasing the levels of calcium content in the bone.

More Information:	We stay young as long as our cells stay young. We live as long as our cells live. REVITAL-TA is a Telomerase Activator. Telomerase is the enzyme that maintains the integrity of DNA telomeras, improve cellular replicative accuracy and restore cellular functions. REVITAL-TA is an essential component of the GERONTOVERSAL Anti-Aging Protoco REVITAL TA contains an orthomolecular formulation aimed at stimulating the release and circulation of telomerase enzyme and at supporting continuous cell division and correct DNA replication. A telomere is the sleeve at the end of a DNA chromosome, which protects the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes creating mutations. Cell division and replication is the natural process when tired or defective cells are continuously replaced with new ones. There is a limited number of times that a cell can divide, defining the chronological age and the lifespan of a person. This limited number of divisions is dependent upon the length of the telomeres. Theoretically the maximum chronological age could be around 125 years. Following each cell division the telomeres end-up shorter. Over time, due to each cell division, the telomere shortens until the cell is signalled to stop and cannot divide any longer. This is in fact the phenomenon of aging (senescence) when although the cells do not die immediately, they cease to renew and therefore age until cellular death occurs (apoptosis). Worse, if the telomere has reached the minimum length but the cell does not respond to the stop signal and continues to divide, it ends up with loose chromosomes that can fuse to yield mutant cells A weak immune system can also be a factor of accelerated telomere shortening and subsequent aging. Telomerase enzyme is a protein enzyme produced by the body to maintain the integrity of DNA telomeres. Telomerase activation can be impeded by different stressors leading to insufficient amounts being circulated or failure to bind to the nucleus. The consequence is an accelerated telomere shortening reflected in early or accelerated aging or the onset of various degenerative diseases In vivo, the telomere length of replicating somatic cells is inversely correlated with age and is associated with age-related disorders, including cardiovascular disease. Associations with telomere length have been reported for essential hypertension, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, atherosclerosis, vascular dementia, and mortality due to heart disease as well as other degenerative diseases By maintaining a sound immune system and by maintaining adequate supply of telomerase enzyme, telomere length can be controlled and by this effect, degenerative diseases can be stopped, aging can be slowed down and, some effects of aging can even be reversed. All the ingredients in REVITAL-TA act synergistically to promote DNA telomere repair, maintain telomere length and promote rejuvenation by stimulating cell division and replication

Summary:	The wide-reaching benefits of ginkgo are thought to be largely due to its effects as an antioxidant, or free radical scavenger. The plant contains compounds that absorb toxic chemicals, preventing cell damage (including that related to aging). The central nervous system and brain are especially susceptible to free radical damage, and it is believed that gingko's antioxidant action is a major contributor to its "anti-aging" benefits. By preventing free radical damage, ginkgo appears to stabilize cell membranes and render blood vessel walls and red blood cells more flexible, improving the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, limbs, and other areas supplied by tiny capillaries, such as the eyes and ears. By thus enhancing microcirculation, ginkgo can improve a variety of brain functions, including memory, concentration, and problem-solving. Ginkgo also helps support healthy circulation by inhibiting the effects of a blood clotting substance called platelet activating factor (PAF). The body needs PAF for a number of functions, but excess PAF has been linked to allergies, asthma, inflammatory conditions, and cardiovascular diseases such as stroke. In clinical studies, standardized ginkgo extract has proven effective in improving brain function and quality of life in people with Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia. The extract has been shown to improve circulation to the limbs, reducing symptoms such as coldness, numbness, and cramping. Benefits have also been reported in ear and eye conditions that include tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and dimming vision due to oxygen deprivation.
Highlights:	Improvement in thinking, learning, and memory (cognitive function) Enhances circulation to the brain, heart, limbs, ears and eyes Improvement in activities of daily living Improvement in social behaviour Fewer feelings of depression Used in treating cerebral insufficiency, senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease Helps with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) Improve poor circulation in the legs Potent antioxidant effects Laboratory studies have shown that flavonoids protect the nerves, heart muscle, blood vessels, and retina from damage

More Information:	Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is one of the oldest living tree species and its leaves are among the most extensively studied herbs in use today. In Europe and the United States, ginkgo supplements are among the best-selling herbal medications. It consistently ranks as a top medicine prescribed in France and Germany. Ginkgo has been used in traditional medicine to treat blood disorders and enhance memory. Scientific studies throughout the years have found evidence that supports these claims. Although not all studies agree, ginkgo may be help treat dementia (including Alzheimer's disease) and intermittent claudication, or poor circulation in the legs. It also shows promise for enhancing memory in older adults. Laboratory studies have shown that ginkgo improves blood circulation by dilating blood vessels and reducing the stickiness of blood platelets. Ginkgo leaves contain two types of chemicals (flavonoids and terpenoids) believed to have potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals -- compounds in the body that damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Free radicals are believed to contribute to health problems including heart disease and cancer as well as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Antioxidants such as those found in ginkgo can help neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause. Medicinal Uses: Dementia and Alzheimer's disease Ginkgo is widely used in Europe for treating dementia. It was first used because it improves blood flow to the brain. Now further study suggests it may directly protect nerve cells that are damaged in Alzheimer's disease. A number of studies have found that ginkgo has a positive effect on short term memory, attention, reaction time and thinking in people with Alzheimer's or vascular dementia. Clinical studies suggest that ginkgo may have the following benefits for people with Alzheimer's disease: Improvement in thinking, learning, and memory (cognitive function) Improvement in activities of daily living Improvement in social behaviour Fewer feelings of depression Several studies have found that ginkgo may work as well as prescription Alzheimer's medications in delaying the symptoms of dementia. Intermittent Claudication Because ginkgo improves blood flow, it has been studied in people with intermittent claudication, or pain caused by reduced blood flow to the legs. People with intermittent claudication have a hard time walking without feeling extreme pain. An analysis of eight studies revealed that people taking ginkgo tend to walk about 34 meters farther than those taking placebo. In fact, ginkgo has been shown to be as effective as a prescription medication in improving pain-free walking distance. However, regular walking exercises work better than ginkgo in improving walking distance. Glaucoma One small study found that people with glaucoma who took 120 mg of ginkgo daily for 8 weeks had improvements in their vision. Memory Enhancement Ginkgo is widely touted as a "brain herb." It has been studied to see whether it can improve memory in people with dementia, and some studies found it did help. It's not as clear whether ginkgo helps memory in healthy people who have normal, age-related memory loss. Some studies have found slight benefits, while other studies have found no effect on memory. The most effective dose seems to be 240 mg per day. Ginkgo is commonly added to nutrition bars, soft drinks, and fruit smoothies to boost memory and enhance mental performance, although it's unlikely that such small amounts of ginkgo would work. Macular Degeneration The flavonoids found in ginkgo may help stop or lessen some retinal problems -- problems with the back part of the eye. Macular degeneration, often called age-related macular degeneration or ARMD, is an eye disease that affects the retina. It is a progressive, degenerative eye disease that tends to affect older adults and is the number one cause of blindness in the United States. Some studies suggest that ginkgo may help preserve vision in those with ARMD. Tinnitus Nerve damage and certain blood vessel disorders can lead to tinnitus -- ringing, hissing, or other sound in the ears or head. Because ginkgo improves circulation, it has been studied to see whether it can treat tinnitus. A few poorly designed studies found it might reduce the loudness of the sound. Brain and Breast Tumours An experiment conducted at the Georgetown University Medical Center, found that gikgo biloba may have a preventive effects for cancerous human brain and the breast tumours. In the January- February of 2006 issue of the journal Anticancer Research, the investigators reported that treating mice with an extract of leaves of ginkgo biloba both before and after implanting human breast or brain (glioma) tumours decreased expression of a cell receptor associated with invasive cancer. This decreased expression slowed the growth of the breast tumours by 80% as long as the extract was used, compared to untreated mice, and reduced the size of the brain tumours, but temporarily, to a laser extent. " It is very encouraging that ginkgo biloba appeared to reduce the aggressiveness of these cancers, because it suggests that the leaves could be useful in some early stages deceases to prevent the to becoming invasive or spreading" said Vassilios Papadopoulos, DPharm, PhD, Director, Biomedical Graduate research organization and Associate Vice President of Georgetown University Medical Center. Important Note: The effects of ginkgo are not immediate. In the clinical studies, from 4 to 24 weeks of treatment were required before benefits were observed. The use of ginkgo or other herbs is not a substitute for other medical treatment in cases of serious illness. Many conditions are not appropriate for self-diagnosis or self-medication and require the supervision of qualified health care providers. Be sure to tell your doctor about any herbs you are taking. Educate yourself and use caution when practicing self-care.

Summary:	KÖNIG ORGANIC GERMANIUM GE-132 combines two ingredients known for their beneficial effect on the immune system: Organic Germanium and Beta Sitosterol (plant Sterols and Sterolins). A Japanese doctor, Dr. Kazuhiko Asai and his research team discovered over 20 years ago an organic form of germanium known as Ge-132 (bis-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide). This substance is commonly called organic germanium. This form of germanium is biochemically active, water soluble, and safe to take as a dietary supplement. Organic Germanium supports the immune system, increases the production of interferon, and transports oxygen to the cells. Plant sterols and sterolins modulate or balance the immune system and have been shown to decrease the auto-antibody production.

More Information:	The importance of germanium mineral: Many of us regularly supplement our diets with vitamins and minerals. Dozens of scientific studies have shown that germanium mineral appears to have a wide range of health benefits which include helping to boost the immune system, normalize high blood pressure and cholesterol, protect the body against harmful cellular aberrations and abuse, providing some pain relief, alleviate rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and generally normalize physiological functions. It is known that a lack of germanium is associated with infection and immune disorders, heart disease and high cholesterol, arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer and many other conditions. Organic Germanium -A Landmark Development in Nutritional and Metabolic Medicine Many disease states, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, immune system dysfunction and cancer have all been shown to respond to germanium therapy. It would appear that the reason for germanium's effectiveness is its ability to regulate the uptake of oxygen in the cells. by attracting and absorbing ("delocalize") electrons. In this manner, it may facilitate energy generation from high-energy electrons; this is analogous to the well-understood role of oxygen as an "electron sink" essential for energy-yielding electron transfer processes. In cells which cannot utilize oxygen (for example, cancer cells in solid tumors which appear to be oxygen-sensitive), it is predictable that organic Germanium's (Ge- 132) presence as an "oxygen-catalyst" could have deleterious effects on malignant cells and may, therefore, demonstrate therapeutic value via this way of action. Organic Germanium (Ge-132) has immuno stimulating effects is not surprising since it has known efficacy as an oxygenation enhancer, and oxygen plays a pivotal role in immune functions . This breakthrough in understanding of the role of Organic Germanium (Ge-132) stems from Dr. Asai's initial finding that Organic Germanium (Ge-132tm) occurs in high concentrations in medicinal plants. It thus appears that Dr. Asai identified one of the main active principles responsible for the therapeutic action of many age old, natural remedies. Dr. Asai did not regard Organic Germanium (Ge-132) as a drug. He stated, "I would rather call it a health-giving substance - it restores health to those afflicted with disease and sustains health in those who are healthy.... Where body cells lack oxygen, indispensable to life, a gradual decline in function is inevitable and the fire of life will reduce until it is extinguished". In plants, this process helps protect them from infections by viruses, bacteria and fungi as well as increasing growth and protecting them from the cold. In humans, it seems the effects are both related to oxygen regulation and strong antioxidant activity. Germanium and Cancer Not surprisingly, many cancer patients are immune deficient. Preliminary research suggests that germanium appears to exhibit an ability to help normalize the body's defences in cancer patients. In a report given at the International Symposium at Osaka in July of 1981, Japanese doctors observed that Ge-132 normalized activity in immune cells such as T lymphocytes and NK cells and increased interferon production in seven cancer patients. The doctors concluded that Ge-132 had increased the patient's resistance in both malignancies and rheumatic disorders. According to this study, one patient's abdomen cancer disappeared after 16 months of Ge-132 treatment and intermittent therapy with a chemotherapy agent. Another patient's post operative condition was controlled well on Ge-132 alone. According to a Dutch researcher, Dr. Schuitemaker, "It (germanium) is involved as a catalyst in the supply of oxygen to oxygen poor tissue, such as cancerous growths. . . It lessens the per oxidation of fatty acids, thus establishing the role of germanium in free radical pathology." Free radicals are highly reactive molecules which reduce the cell's oxygen supply. When free radicals abound, tissue injury and disease states such as cancer can occur. Germanium was one of only six substances selected for clinical testing as potential weapon against AIDS by the International AIDS Treatment Conference held in Tokyo, Japan in February of 1987. Germanium and Heart Disease Two of the major causes of heart disease in this country are hypertension or high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, clogged arteries. One hundred million people alone suffer from elevated blood pressure which places undue strain on the heart and its vessels. Unfortunately, many people do not realize they suffer from this "silent killer" and risk a sudden death heart attack or stroke. Due to its ability to normalize metabolic functions, germanium appeared to lower blood pressure in several Japanese experiments. At the Japan Experimental Medical Research Institute in Tokyo, test animals with normal blood pressure showed no change when researchers administered organic germanium . However, lab animals with high blood pressure returned to normal levels after seven to 10 days of germanium use. Germanium and Aging As we grow older, we accumulate more free radicals. Dr. Lars Ernster of the University of Stockholm confirms that free radical formation results in serious membrane damage and is responsible for age granules in aging cells. Our body's natural defense system also declines with years. Again, germanium may be able to normalize our failing immune system. Functions of Germanium in the body Antiviral activity Powerful antioxidant Analgesic Anticancer properties Enhances oxygen supply to tissues Decrease high blood Lowers bad cholesterol levels May protect against osteoporosis Sources of dietary Germanium Comfrey Ginseng Garlic Mushrooms (especially shitake)

More Information:	How AHCC works: It is known that many acute and chronic conditions share a common denominator: weak immunity system. AHCC has been used successfully to address a wide range of health conditions, from minor ailments such as colds and flu, to serious diseases such as cancer, hepatitis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The immune system's job is to protect you from harm. It is always scanning your body to determine if bacteria, viruses, toxins, parasites and other pathogens have entered your system or if any of your cells have mutated and become abnormal. You have two basic types of immunity: innate and adaptive. Your innate immunity launches an immediate, non-specific attack against a threat. Your adaptive immunity takes longer to kick in, but produces a specific response to a particular microbe. Key Players of Innate Immunity: Cytokines: Chemical messengers that help immune cells communicate and coordinate an immune response Natural killer (NK) cells: White blood cells (WBC) that recognize and destroy infected or abnormal cells by injecting granules into them, causing them to explode Macrophages: WBC that engulf and ingest bacteria and cellular debris Dendritic cells: WBC that present foreign substances to B and T cells, initiating an adaptive response B and T cells: Both B cells (which mature in bone marrow) and T cells (which mature in the thymus) are lymphocytes, WBC that are able to recognize previous invaders and destroy them with a specific response Proven Benefits of AHCC: In vivo and human clinical trials have shown that AHCC modifies both the innate and adaptive immune response, by: Increasing the production of cytokines and the activity of NK cells by as much as 300-800% as well as populations of macrophages, in some cases doubling them; Increasing the number of dendritic cells and the number of T cells by as much as 200%. AHCC Research Association published a great book about the mirale behind AHCC( you can find it here http://ahccresearch.com ) and we present to you a summary of their research: *Infections* AHCC is the world's most researched specialty immune supplement, supported by over 80 research studies. It is utilized by over 700 hospitals and healthcare facilities worldwide as a standard preventative regimen for incoming patients to reduce the risk of hospital infections. In vivo research has shown that AHCC modulates the immune response against a variety of infectious agents, including influenza virus (the common flu), avian influenza virus ("bird flu"), Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria (which causes pneumonia), Candida albicans fungus (which causes yeast infections), Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria (which can infect any part of the body), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (or MSRA, which causes an antibiotic-resistant staph infection). Most recently, AHCC was found to boost protective immune response specific to the West Nile Virus in mice. Cancer AHCC has been used with great success in cancer patients. Data from the treatment of over 100,000 individuals with various types of cancer have shown AHCC treatment to be of benefit in 60% of cases. AHCC is particularly effective for liver, lung, stomach, colon, breast, thyroid, ovarian, testicular, tongue, kidney and pancreatic cancers. One landmark AHCC trial enrolled 269 patients with liver cancer. Following surgery, about half of the patients took AHCC and about half did not. The results were dramatic: At the end of the ten-year study, only 34.5% of the AHCC patients experienced a recurrence in their cancer, compared with 66.1% of the control group. Similarly, while 46.8% of the patients in the control group had died at the end of ten years, less than half that amount - 20.4% - of those in the AHCC group had. Another study found that AHCC not only prolonged survival of advanced liver cancer patients, it also improved various parameters of quality of life, including mental stability, general physical health status and the ability to have normal activities. Side Effects of Chemotherapy Chemotherapy is fraught with side effects, which range from psychologically distressing to life-threatening. In addition to being able to fight cancer directly, AHCC also alleviates many of the side effects of chemotherapy, including: Hair Loss: Doctors noticed that chemotherapy patients taking AHCC did not lose their hair. Subsequently, an in vivo study found that mice treated with AHCC were protected from chemically induced hair loss. Nausea: Clinical studies in Korea and Japan have indicated that AHCC remarkably improves symptoms of nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Bone Marrow Suppression: Chemotherapy can inhibit bone marrow function, which is life-threatening because the body's key immune soldiers - the white blood cells - originate in bone marrow. AHCC has been shown to raise the white blood cell count of cancer patients by about 30%. Liver Damage: One of the major drawbacks of chemotherapy is that it kills healthy cells in addition to cancer cells. An in vivo study found that while rats given chemotherapy experienced large increases in liver enzymes (indicative of liver damage), those given chemotherapy plus AHCC had normal levels. Liver Ailments Dr. Fred Pescatore, of the Center for Integrative and Complementary Medicine in New York, has reported that he has achieved marked reductions in the liver enzymes of hepatitis patients through the use of AHCC. This is an important discovery, as high levels of liver enzymes are indicative of liver damage. Dr. Pescatore has also observed massive drops in the viral loads of hepatitis C patients. One case study, a 47 year-old male, had a viral load of 2,498,200 before treatment, which plunged to 499,600 after six months on AHCC - an 80% reduction. Animal studies confirm AHCCs liver-protective effect. Rats treated with AHCC and then administered the liver-toxic chemical carbon tetrachloride were spared from its liver-damaging effect. Similarly, rats treated with AHCC and then administered the lethal substance galactosamine had an improved survival rate compared to control rats. Diabetes AHCC appears to have several benefits for diabetics. A small human clinical trial conducted in Japan found that all 13 diabetic patients enrolled in the study experienced a significant drop in blood glucose and glycohemoglobin levels after taking AHCC for six months. AHCCs blood-sugar lowering effect was also observed in animal research. Diabetes was induced in rats through injection with the chemical streptozotocin (STZ). Among untreated (control) animals, blood glucose levels increased, insulin levels decreased, and insulin-secreting cells were damaged. Among AHCC-treated rats, however, blood glucose levels decreased, insulin levels increased, and there was little damage to insulin-secreting cells. Cardiovascular Disease AHCC was first developed as a treatment for hypertension, so it's not surprising that several doctors have reported on its positive impact on cardiovascular health. Dr. Fred Pescatore, of the Center for Integrative and Complementary Medicine in New York, reported that AHCC can prevent stress-induced high blood pressure and damage to the heart. Dr. M. Iwamoto of the En-Zan-Kai Medical Corporation reported that AHCC has a beneficial influence on ventricular arrhythmias, a type of heart disorder in which the heart rhythm is disrupted. Stress It is widely recognized that stress plays a major role in the etiology of many diseases. When people and animals are under stress, several things happen: the production of stress hormones such as adrenalin and corticosteroids increases, uric acid production increases, and blood sugar rise. A study in rats that had been stressed through immobilization found that AHCC mediated the stress response, keeping levels of stress hormones, uric acid, and blood sugar normal. Other in vivo studies have shown that as a potent antioxidant, AHCC may also protect against disorders caused by oxidative stress (cellular stress caused by free radicals). Inflammation While many people associate inflammation with arthritis, few realize it is one of the underlying contributors to a number of different diseases, from asthma to heart disease to Alzheimers. In acute situations, such as sickness or injury, inflammation is helpful because it helps the body eliminate pathogens. When inflammation becomes chronic, however, it can destroy healthy tissue. Research show that AHCC has a profound anti-inflammatory effect. One study found that AHCC administration attenuated inflammation in rats with colitis (inflammation of the colon) on a level equal to that of the anti-inflammatory drug sulfasalazine. Another study observed that AHCC protected rats from the damaging effects of peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity). AHCC and chemotherapy: There are no contraindications in using AHCC during chemotherapy. Moreover, it revealed that AHCC amplify and increase the therapeutic effects of anti-cancer agent Cisplatin, and probably others. The only specification was made in a study conducted Anderson Cancer Center ("University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"), the University of Texas, which was published in the Journal of the Society for Integrative Oncology (Ref. 1). Researchers found that AHCC could be subject to interactions when used together with chemotherapeutic agents metabolized by the CYP450 2D6 process. This process includes drugs such as doxorubicin and ondansetron. In other words, the use of AHCC with these drugs reduces their effectiveness. The conclusions of the study: "General data suggest that AHCC is safe for use in association with most chemotherapeutic agents which are not metabolized by the CYP450 2D6 process. NOTE: Avoid supplementation of AHCC during doxorubicin and ondansetron administration Combination with other complementary Immunostimulators KONIG AHCC Plus contains in addition to AHCC two complementary ingredients known for their immunostimulatory actions: Beta 1.3 / 1, 6 glucan and Arabinogalactan from Larix dahurica. Arabinogalactan, a polysaccharide, stimulates the immune system, increases the activity of macrophages, increases the antibody response to viral infections, and stimulates cytotoxicity of NK killer cells with cytotoxic effects and, extremely important, inhibits metastasis of tumour cells by the liver. Beta 1.3 / 1,6 glucan acts in many ways like AHCC - stimulates inflammatory cytokines such as TNF alpha, IL-6 and IL-12 with anti-tumour effects. Beta-glucan reduces carcinoma angiogenesis by reducing vascularity (angiogenesis is one of the mechanisms of tumour growth and Metastasis).

Doses of 6-12 g / day or even 20 g/day are used in alternative cancer therapy, and it works synergistically with large doses of Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum) standardized to 30% polysaccharides (Reishi 5000). Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis by the body. Collagen is essential for maintaining cartilage elasticity (the joints), tissue, skin and cardiovascular circuit walls. Vitamin C helps absorption of calcium which is crucial for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Crystalline form is easier to absorb because is 100% soluble and can easily be added to fruit juices, teas, broths from food (instead of lemon salt which is chemically derived). It is also cheaper than tablet form or encapsulated powder. Tablet generally means adding additional ingredients when in powder form is administered Vitamin C 100% pure. Vitamin C is best known for strengthening the immune system. Studies have shown that 5 grams (5000 mg) of Vitamin C can double the rate of key activities of white blood cells, the soldiers of the immune system. Vitamin C also fights heart disease by assisting with cholesterol metabolism.

More Information:

Provita Nutrition Super Immune Forte is a blend of plant sterols. Research has shown that phytosterols (Sterols + Sterolins) greatly enhance the activity of killer cells (NK-natural killer cells) that attack, destroy and eliminate cancer cells so the body in early stages as well as in advanced stages. Also increases the number of immune system components such as T-cells, Interleukin-2 and gamma-interferon. There have been numerous reported cases of stopping the advance of cancer disease and total healing through self-destruction of cancer cells. Helps also with chemotherapy side effects

Amla (Emblica officinalis also known as the Phyllanthus officinalis) is the latest milestone in the field. Emblica extract has been the subject of recent studies which prove its effectiveness in: autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease (autoimmune background), ulcers and other diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis

Amla enhances the ability of the immune response to bacterial infection E. Coli and Klebsiela incus. Amla has proved effective in reducing osteoclasts, the main cause of osteoporosis. Amla acts synergistically with phytosterols in regulating good cholesterol / bad cholesterol ratio

The combination of plant sterols & Sterolins + Amla can be useful in diseases characterized by reduced NK cell activity including: chronic fatigue syndrome, viral hepatitis (B and C), autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.
During influenza season, Super Immune associated with Astragalus 9000 have the effect of a broad spectrum influenza vaccine, helping the immune system to destroy invading viruses or bacteria

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own joints). And yet, classic medicine treats it as arthrosis. Although treatment is required for the inflammation that causes pain (Serra-Plus administration is the most efficient) the most important thing is to modulate the immune system. In this regard, the administration of Super Immune comes natural

Cardiovascular diseases are caused by inflammation. The immune system kicks into action whenever there is inflammation, but if worked too hard "can do more harm than good" in that it aggressively attacks the artery wall, increases production and deposition of cholesterol on artery walls. Provita Nutrition Super Immune regulate this process, becoming an important element in treating atherosclerosis and in regulating good cholesterol / bad cholesterol ratio

In treating cancer, chemotherapy and radiotherapy have a devastating effect on the immune system. The administration of Super Immune before and after these procedures helps restore the immune system and thus increases chemo and radio therapys efficiency.
Provita Nutrition Super Immune is excellent for:
Influenza, cold, fever, infections, cancer, immunodeficiency, Autoimmune Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Allergies, Asthma, Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Hepatitis B or C, multiple sclerosis, herpes, lupus, stress, thyroid disorders, digestive disorders, diabetes, prostatitis, infectious diseases, cholesterol, atherosclerosis, etc..

More Information:	Milk Thistle Milk thistle originally is from Europe, but now it also is grown in the United States. Milk thistle's scientific name is Silybum marianum. The milk thistle ingredient that experts believe is responsible for milk thistle's medicinal qualities is called silymarin. Silymarin is found in the fruits of the milk thistle plant. Studies in animals have shown that this milk thistle ingredient promotes the following activities: Liver Cell Growth - Silymarin from milk thistle promotes the growth of some types of cells in the liver. Milk thistle is not used to prevent Hepatitis C Virus from causing liver disease. Rather, milk thistle is used to minimize the damage to the liver that HCV can cause. Antihepatotoxic Activity - Studies suggest that silymarin from milk thistle can block various types of toxins from entering and injuring liver cells. Antioxidation - Milk thistle Silymarin is an effective "antioxidant," which means milk thistle may help fight a destructive chemical process in the body known as "oxidation." In oxidation, harmful substances produced in the body (called free radicals) can damage cells. Some studies suggest that milk thistle silymarin can prevent these substances from damaging liver cells. Inflammation Inhibition - Milk thistle's Silymarin prevents inflammation (swelling) of the liver; this may be described as displaying anti-inflammatory properties.

More Information:	The most important omega-3 fatty acids are the long-chain: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 n-3) Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA, 22:5 n-3) Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body cant make them -- you have to get them through food. There are two types: saturated fatty acids (Palmitic acid, stearic, etc...) found more in animal fats and unsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, etc.). One of the major ones is EPA (eicosapentenoic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid with the capacity to increase blood flow. EPA Oil prevents agglutination of blood cells to form clots that otherwise could clog arteries prematurely. It also has the ability to reduce triglycerides and total cholesterol in lymph, increasing the good cholesterol (high density lipoprotein - HDL -). This oil acts as an anti-freezing agent, keeping the fish body warm at low temperatures. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Seal and whale are also rich sources of omega 3. An excessive consumption of saturated fatty acids without the unsaturated ones leads to cardiovascular diseases like Atherosclerosis. Eskimos who consume seal oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids rarely develop atherosclerosis. It is worth noting that, while the Eskimo diet contains more than 13% called Omega 3 fatty acids (unsaturated fatty acids with long chains of carbon atoms - mostly seal oil), the Danish one contains only 0, 84%. For the Eskimos who eat seal meat, the occurrence of myocardial infarction is approximately 400 times less than in civilized societies. Also, the incidence of cancer is practically nonexistent. Seals live in large numbers in northern Canada and especially in the Province of Newfoundland & Labrador. Dr. Cosmas has conducted research that resulted from the superiority of the seal oil obtained from fish. The closest to the oil seal is wild Pacific salmon oil. However, recent studies indicate that while fish oils oxidize very quickly, seal and whale oil are very resistant to oxidation, keeping intact its properties, potency and the ratio EPA / DHA. Omega 3 (n-3 PUFA) is esterified in seal oil. Hence the increased bio-absorption of this oil compared to other sources of Omega 3. It was also reported at the International Conference on seal products (Ottawa, 7-8 June 2004) that seal oil is rich in Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) Seal Oil Recommendations: Mental and behavioral disorders Poor attention and hyperactivity syndrome (ADHD) Alzheimer's Disease Autism Bipolar Syndrome Dementia Depression Dyslexia Schizophrenia Eye and Ocular System Dry eyes Macular Degeneration Retinitis pigmentatio Heart and Cardio-vascular system Asthma Atherosclerosis Cardiac Arrhythmia Coronary artery disease Myocardial infarction Hypertension Multiple sclerosis (MS) Reduction of LDL values (bad cholesterol) Elevated HDL (good cholesterol) Diabetes and insulin resistance Fibromyalgia fibrosis cyst IgA nephropathy Bowel syndrome (colon) irritable Osteoarthritis Osteoporosis Raynaud's disease Rheumatoid Arthritis Skin conditions, Acne, Psoriasis and Eczema

More Information:	For many years, salmon skin collagen has been known by experts to be the best ingredient for cosmetics because of its superior power to penetrate human skin. Unlike collagen extracted from other animals, salmon collagen melts at a very low temperature, well below the temperature of the human body. It easily melts on the skin and is gradually absorbed. (Temp. of dissolution; pig: about 40°C, cow: about 38°C, salmon: about 18°C) Because collagen from other sources melts at a much higher temperature, it often sits on the skin without melting or being absorbed. Wild salmon collagen provides all the essential nutrients and components to fully repair and rebuild cartilage. Wild salmon collagen is considered to be one of the fastest acting, arthritic pain-reduction products available without a doctor's prescription. Join the men, women and athletes who enjoy the daily benefits of this miraculous product as part of their health and fitness regime. What exactly is Collagen?The main structural component of the lower layer of the skin (Dermis) is a protein called collagen. Bundles of collagen molecules pack together throughout the dermis, accounting for three-fourths of the dry weight of skin. Collagen is also responsible for the skin's strength. Collagen is produced by cells called fibroblasts, which are found scattered throughout the dermis. Collagen is a connective tissue and is the cement that holds everything together-the primary mortar between the bricks of all of our smooth muscle tissues such as blood vessels, digestive tract, heart, gallbladder, kidneys and bladder, to mention just a few. Collagen, along with elastin, is a key structural component of bones, cartilage, tendons, the skin, lung tissue and blood vessels. Collagen provides structure and firmness to body tissues, while elastin provides flexibility to those same tissues. As aging occurs, cellular proteins hook together or change shape. These changes keep the proteins from doing their jobs properly resulting in a loss of collagen and less firmness to body tissues. This process eventually leads to wrinkles. Thus, one important target of wrinkle prevention and elimination regimen is to reduce collagen breakdown and increase its supply. This task is achievable but you have to go about it in the right way. Stimulating skin cells to produce collagen can partially reverse this process. Stimulating collagen synthesis in aged skin was shown to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. First, vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen , a key structural protein of the skin. Adding vitamin C to a culture of skin cells (fibroblasts) dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. So, when vitamin C is properly delivered to skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.

More Information:	Numerous university studies have shown that Oil of Oregano is a highly potent purifier that provides many benefits for human health. It is a natural substance that is extracted from wild oregano plants, and two key compounds found in it are carvacrol and thymol. Studies have shown that both of these compounds have significant effects on harmful micro-organisms that cause many illnesses in humans. It is important not to confuse Oil of Oregano with common oregano that is used as a spice for cooking. Common oregano is typically Origanum Marjoram, while Oil of Oregano is derived from Origanum Vulgare Oregano may be a lot more than just a tasty herb you sprinkle on pizza and spaghetti. It could turn into the next wonder drug. The herb was celebrated by the ancient Greeks as an antidote for hemlock poisoning. But the latest research suggests it may clobber fungi and bacteria--possibly including the virulent anthrax bug, a potential bioterrorist weapon. In recent tests on mice, Dr. Harry G. Preuss of Georgetown University Medical Center found that oregano-oil extract is just as effective as the most potent antibiotic in combating staphylococcus bacteria, which can cause deadly infections and is becoming increasingly resistant to many antibiotics. Similarly, oregano oil destroys a fungus called Candida albicans, which causes diaper rash and other ailments. Oil of Oregano is good for: Colds & Flues- Oil of Oregano is an excellent early defense mechanism when you feel a cold or sore throat coming on. Simply take 3 drops of the oil once per day (you can mix it into a glass of orange juice) and you should notice results within a few hours. Repeat this once per day for up to 5 days until the symptoms are gone. Skin Conditions- Oil of Oregano can be applied directly onto the skin to treat itches, skin infections, and irritated gums, but only if it has been diluted. Always follow the instructions on your particular bottle before applying topically onto the skin, since highly concentrated oils may first need to be mixed with Olive Oil or Coconut Oil before application (usually one teaspoon of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil per one drop of Oil of Oregano). Improve respiratory & sinus conditions- Oil of Oregano is a wonderful natural remedy for sinus congestion. A common solution is to add 3 drops of the oil into a glass of juice and drink this mixture daily for 3 to 5 days. Digestive Conditions - The high concentrations of thymol and carvacrol in Oil of Oregano have been shown to calm upset stomachs and aid digestion. Therefore, a quick home remedy for mild indigestion is to drink a glass of milk or juice that is mixed with 2 or 3 drops of the oil. Mouth Conditions Burns, Wounds, Cuts Strengthening the immune system Sore Muscles & Joints -Increasing joint and muscle flexibility

More Information:

Serrapeptase or Serratiopeptidase (Serratia Peptidase) its a proteolytic enzyme which is extracted from silk worm intestine; it was studied for a long time and it was relatively recently launched on the market . The silk worm uses this enzyme to dissolve a hole in the cocoon to get out. Recent surveys have found the ability of this enzyme to thin the liquid that gathers in inflamed areas, blocking the release of pain compounds and dissolving fibrin (an accumulation of protein) that leads to inflammations. Due to this property, it is extremely effective in treating arthritis, osteoarthritis, arthrosis, postoperative inflammation, sinusitis, prostate inflammation (prostate adenoma).

But that is not all about Serrapeptase. It has the ability to dissolve circulatory system blood clots and cysts, cleaning arteries and preventing cardiovascular accidents in particular the ones in the brain caused by micro blood clots. In this sense it becomes very useful for strokes caused by blood clots and helps with postoperative injuries (external and internal) having an amazing ability to dissolve blood clots - caused by surgery - clots released in the blood that can block arteries causing some unforeseen complications

Our product is enterically coated (gastro-resistant) for the enzyme to pass through the stomach without being dissolved by the gastric juice and in order to reach the intestines intact. Provita Nutrition Serra-Plus is standardized to a maximum concentration of 120,000 IU per capsule and it's encapsulated in refined gelatin capsules

Serra-Plus helps with:
Sinusitis, rhinitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, wounds (internal and external), amyloidosis, proteinuria, postoperative trauma, inflammations, risks to cardio-vascular accidents, Tunnel Carp Syndrome, lung cancer, lung emphysema, cysts, fibrosis caused by inflammatory processes, benign prostate hyperplasia (prostate adenoma)

More Information:	Numerous studies also indicate an antitumor activity, slowing in some cases up to 50% the multiplication of cancer cells by stimulating cell division because resveratrol can slow angiogenesis by 60%. Angiogenesis is the phenomenon of formation of new blood capillaries that feed the tumor. By reducing the blood supply, the tumor cannot feed itself. Resveratrol acts like Ellagic acid with powerful anti-inflammatory and antihistamine (anti-allergenic) properties. Other benefits of resveratrol administration also include: improving memory capacity, reduces blood sugar levels (glucose), reduces cholesterol and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by 30% 50%. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, USA, concluded that resveratrol acts at the DNA level by helping to repair defects caused by aging.

More Information:

This complete formula includes:

Phytosterols (sterols and sterolins) are known for their ability to inhibit 5-alpha reductase thereby blocking the conversion of free testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), one of the leading causes of prostate cancer.
This plant derived fat and alcohol is a major element of the prostate-healing isolates, which are used in Prostate Perform. It acts to improve urinary difficulties and reduce BHP symptoms. Beta-sitosterols are also successfully use to inhibit tumors, reduce cholesterol and modulate the immune system.

Stinging Nettle extract 1% Silic Acid - This perennial plant has traditionally been used as a diuretic. It acts to improve urinary output and decrease bedtime urination. It's also an extremely important synergistic component when associated with pygeum and Palmetto.

Defined Rye Flower Pollen Extract - Our allergen-free pollen helps improve urinary flow rates and voiding difficulties. It acts to relax the muscles which inhibit satisfactory urine flow and reduce pressure in the urethra, and reduce the size of the prostate. It's a component proven through clinical studies as having a curative action on the entire system

Pygeum extract standardized to 25% phytosterols -This powerful traditional remedy reduces swelling in the prostate. It is an extract from the bark of the African evergreen tree.

Zinc Citrate and Vitamin B6 - Zinc is recognized as a vital nutrient for a healthy prostate, effective in reducing both BPH symptoms and size of prostate. Vitamin B6 enhances the usefulness of Zinc.

Boron - a trace element which has been recently identified as an essential element for a healthy prostate

Vaccaria 4:1 concentrated extract - one of the most powerful antifungal, anti carcinogenic and detoxifying agent for the prostate cells

Cranberry 50:1 extract - Treats urinary and bladder infections.

Glycine, Alanine and glutamic acid - Reduce symptoms of BHP.

Boswellia extract - has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect very useful considering that the prostate easily becomes inflamed (adenoma)

Bioperine - increases bio-availability of all ingredients.

Saw Palmetto - a natural source of phytosterols with beneficial effects on prostate function. The one used in this formula is standardized to 95% oil extracted from plants grown organically

Pumpkinseed extract 4:1 - treats micturition problems of benign prostatic hyperplasia stages 1 and 2.

Lycopene 5% extract - Studies show it can reduce the risk of prostate cancer, cancer of the digestive tract and reduced risk of macular degeneration disease.
