NOTE: This is for the 100 tablet bottle Intenzyme Forte™ is a broad spectrum proteolytic enzyme formulation, containing pancreatin, bromelain, papain, lipase, amylase, trypsin and alpha chymotrypsin. It may be utilized to support numerous protein metabolism pathways. Proteolytic enzymes are capable of exerting influence over a wide variety of physiological and biochemical processes. The benefits of Intenzyme Forte include its effect on muscle soreness and discomfort due to overexertion, the support of hormone processing, as well as providing support for healthy digestive, immune and circulatory functions. Why you may need Intenzyme ForteTM: Health researchers are continually discovering that inflammation and its effects are at the root of many health problems. In fact, most chronic health challenges involve some degree of inflammation. But acknowledging inflammation and addressing it are two very different entities. Since inflammation can be caused from such a wide variety of factors – everything from physical wear and tear, diet, environmental factors, genetics, and even local or systemic allergies, it can be difficult to find an easy way to address it. Intenzyme Forte is a potent source of both plant and animal based enzymes that are an effective combination to break down the aberrant proteins associated with inflammation, hence the term “proteolytic enzymes”. For example, proteolytic enzymes provide all-natural and highly effective support for systemic or localized inflammation and discomfort such as muscle soreness.The key, however, is that in order to benefit from enzymes proteolytic actions; it must be taken on an empty stomach. If taken with food, the enzyme will work as a digestive aid instead. Why your healthcare practitioner recommends Intenzyme ForteTM: Intenzyme ForteTM is a broad spectrum nutritional supplement capable of exerting influence over a variety of physiological and biochemical mechanisms, including: inflammatory processes, numerous pathways of protein metabolism, hormone processing, digestive processes, food sensitivities, immune system support, and healthy circulatory system support. Intenzyme ForteTM also has the ability to break down mucous secretions as well. For over 30 years, thousands of healthcare practitioners have relied on the safe, effective, and reliable results that Intenzyme ForteTM has to offer.

It removes and restores selected amounts of solutes and water. The system consists of the kidneys, the ureter, the urinary bladder and the urethra. The kidneys regulate key ingredients in blood: water, electrolytes and blood pH. They also excrete waste products and toxic materials processed by the liver. By regulating water excretion in the urine, they help regulate blood pressure as well. Each kidney contains approximately 1 million filtration units called nephrons, which filter about 180L (47.55 gal) of fluid daily. Only a small fraction of the filtered fluid, about 2 liters, leaves as urine. The filtrate from the glomerulus contains small molecules like water, dissolved minerals — sodium, potassium, chloride — urea, glucose and creatinine. Most electrolytes, glucose and water are resorbed and recycled. Therefore, urine represents concentrated wastes. The filtrate passes through tubules of the nephron. They help regulate the sodium content and the pH of the blood by exchanging electrolytes like ammonia, hydrogen ions, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate. Hormones regulate kidney function. Antidiuretic hormone increases water loss from cells, allowing more water to pass back into the blood. Aldosterone levels increase in response to decreased blood sodium, leading to sodium resorption and water retention. The kidneys also produce hormones: calcitriol (from vitamin D), erythropoietin and reinin. Ingredients Antioxidants Natural, mixed carotenoids. Carotenoids including alpha and beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, function as scavengers of singlet oxygen, especially at low oxygen tension as exists within cells. A possible synergy between carotenoids and tocopherols has been suggested based on in vitro studies. Carotenoids are implicated in maintaining a healthy immune response. Natural, mixed carotenoids were better absorbed and functioned as more effective antioxidants in human than synthetic beta carotene. Vitamin C. Multiple functions of vitamin C are noted for this essential nutrient. It is able to scavenge free radicals and protect cells independently of alpha tocopherol. Vitamin C, by interacting with vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10, is believed to protect cell membranes from peroxidation. Amino Acids L-Leucine and L-Valine. These two amino acids represent essential, branched chain amino acids. As such, they are preferentially used by skeletal muscle as energy sources. Supplemental sources can increase blood levels of these amino acids. Metabolic acidosis can induce negative nitrogen balance, including increased oxidation of branched chain amino acids by muscle. Correction of metabolic acidosis normalized intracellular concentrations of branched chain amino acids in an animal model. Valine, in particular, supports salt transport and facilitates glucose oxidation. L-Alanine. This amino acid is formed by the transamination of glutamate with pyruvate in the liver, kidney and intestine. Therefore, carbohydrate metabolism is linked to amino acid metabolism in these tissues. Blood alanine is transported to these organs, where it can be transaminated back to pyruvate, which yields glucose via the gluconeogenic enzyme pathway. Fiber and flavonoids Rice Bran. Dietary fiber is fermented by intestinal bacteria to produce short chain fatty acids, an essential fuel and trophic factor for colonocytes. By helping to maintain gut integrity, short chain fatty acids can decrease the aspects of leaky gut. Bran-enriched diets for animals were shown to increase gastrointestinal transit time and thus decrease retention of a food carcinogen by liver and kidney. Rice bran supplemented diets were reported to decrease urinary calcium excretion and to increase urinary oxalate and urinary phosphate in people with idiopathic hypercalciuria. Beet Powder. Powdered beets added to the diet of lab animals apparently inhibited the activity of hepatic ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity. Beets provide betaine and trimethylglycine which serves as a universal methyl donor for methyl transfer reactions. In addition, red beet pigments represent anthocyanidins. This class of flavonoids possesses marked antioxidant properties.   Genetic supplementation is complex and requires a deep understanding of the entire genetic picture.  Our Genetics Membership includes the kit, a full workup, review, report, summary, Dr. Conners’ personalized recommendations - and MORE.  Click HERE for details.  

Why you may need ADHS®: The word stress, coined over seventy years ago by Hans Selye, is one word which has become synonymous with the American lifestyle. Americans lead “stressed out” lives as a result of increased daily demands, including job and lifestyle pressures. Dysregulation of the stress system, or a maladaptive neuroendocrine response, has the potential to negatively impact endocrine, metabolic and immune function, leaving patients vulnerable to numerous unwanted health consequences. Additionally, stress increases the need for many nutrients. An extensive body of research provides significant insights into the benefits of providing targeted nutritional support for healthy adrenal function. Why we recommend ADHS® from Biotics Research: ADHS®, could be an acronym for ADrenal HyperSecretion. ADHS® is a comprehensive and effective adaptogenic formula, providing selective botanical extracts, with pertinent vitamins and minerals. ADHS® serves to replenish nutrients depleted by the stress response, thereby positively supporting adrenal function. ADHS® is frequently used in combination with other Biotics Research products, including Optimal EFAs®, Cytozyme PT/HPTTM, Bio-Glycozyme ForteTM or GlucoBalance®. Following their evaluation, your healthcare professional may recommend adjunctive support for your specific needs.As always, you can count on Biotics Research Corporation to offer superior nutritional products supplying “The Best of Science and Nature”.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine Why you may need Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an ester of L-carnitine. It is synthesized (produced) in the brain, liver and kidneys. In technical terms, Acetyl-L-Carnitine facilitates the uptake of acetyl CoA into the mitochondria during fatty acid oxidation, enhances acetycholine production, and stimulates protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis. In simple terms, Acetyl-L-Carnitine carries fatty acids into the mitochondrial (the power plant of every human cell) to be burned as fuel. Without Acetyl-L-Carnitine, the mitochondria can’t absorb and metabolize fatty acids. Why we recommend Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Acetyl-L-Carnitine is also an important antioxidant compound and has the ability to help stabilize cell membrane fluidity. Because of its attributes relating to mitochondrial and membrane function, Acetyl-L-Carnitine has the potential to impact many physiological actions. It contains an acetyl group that is essential for the production a key neurotransmitter. Additionally, your nervous system depends on fat metabolism and utilization, which requires Acetyl-L-Carnitine, to function properly. For example, fat is a major component of the myelin sheath that coats nerve cells.The myelin sheath allows impulses to jump across the spaces between nerve cells and turn into actions, feelings, sensations and ideas. A breakdown of the myelin sheath can prevent the nervous system from effectively communicating.This is what happens in conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS).A healthy myelin sheath insulating the nerve,allows for more efficient impulse travel.This is why there is so much attention being given to Acetyl-L-Carnitine and research into its role in neurological function.

NOTE: Dr. Conners does NOT recommend that ANY people with low thyroid or known Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid take ANY iodine supplementation. We realize that this may be contrary to popular (outdated) opinion but iodine has been shown to WORSEN those with thyroid disorders. Please see Dr. Conners Chronic Disease and Autoimmune COURSE, Module 6 for more data and research backing up this information.   Liquid Iodine Forte™ supplies 150 mcg of iodine (as potassium iodide) per drop. Iodine is an essential trace mineral, and is vital to healthy thyroid function. Approximately 80% of the dietary intake of iodine is sequestered by the thyroid gland. However, other tissues concentrate iodine as well, including salivary glands, the gastric mucosa, choroids plexus, the lactating mammary gland and the ovaries. Decreased iodine status may result in an insufficient production of thyroxine, thus negatively impacting thyroid function. Vegetarians may also be at increased risk of iodine deficiency. Liquid Iodine Forte™ may be used when a higher concentration of iodine is indicated. It supplies 150mcg of iodine per drop.
