*This item will take a few extra days to ship* MCS®-2 (Metabolic Clearing Support) is a unique formulation combining vitamins, minerals, amino acids, botanical components, and other nutritive synergists to support healthy Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification pathways. Despite the elaborate mechanisms of Phase I and Phase II detoxification systems, at times certain aspects contribute to the suboptimal functioning of these detoxification mechanisms, resulting in a less than adequate means of eliminating harmful substances, including foreign chemicals and drugs. In our current environment, the range of toxic chemicals is found at an ever escalating rate, and these chemicals are accumulating in all sectors of the environment, making exposure more prevalent. The presence of foreign proteins and other toxins can overwhelm the immune system's ability to respond effectively, increasing susceptibility to infection and disease. Vitamin A, along with vitamins C and E, serve as cofactors for Phase II enzymes. Vitamin A is also essential for the normal functioning of the immune system, and acts as an important antioxidant, via its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species. Carotenoids exhibit an extraordinary capacity to quench singlet oxygen molecules. Additionally, various trace minerals also play an important role in both detoxification and metabolic support. Herbal components are also known to possess hepatoprotective actions, and thus serve an important role in liver support during metabolic clearing and detoxification. MCS®-2 supplies a unique blend of herbs to support these processes, including Milk Thistle, Lycium berries, Cleavers, Culvers, Burdock, and Red Clover.

*This item might take a few extra days to ship* Ca/Mg-Plus™ supplies calcium and magnesium, along with specific support for the parathyroid gland.

Biomega-DHA™ provides 600mg DHA and 60mg EPA per capsule, sourced from a strategically-placed facility in the far South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile, guaranteeing the freshest raw material available, full traceability of the product, and unparalleled purity. Biomega-DHA™ comes in natural triglyceride form and is Orivo-certified, meaning its source can be traced to a sustainable fishery.   *This item may take longer to ship out*

Brain & Hypothalamus/Pituitary Axis  Abnormalities of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis regulation are common with aging. For example, regions of the brain showed major deficits in cell signaling in older animals.13 In the brain, accumulation of oxidized protein corresponds to a loss of key enzyme activities. Since the early 1980’s, Biotics Research has been at the forefront of glandular production, reflecting its commitment to research and innovation. Glandulars from Biotics Research are prepared strictly from BSE-free countries and collected under USDA inspection. Most Biotics Research glandular products incorporate tissues from newborn calves, harvested specifically for Biotics Research, to ensure quality and to provide a reproducible source of the bovine tissues. Inevitably, in certain cases, adult organs must be used, as in the case of ovarian and orchic tissue, which is unobtainable from very young animals. Tissues from newborn animals possess high anabolic activity, and have had minimal exposure to environmental stressors. Atrophy, fatty infiltration, tissue degeneration and the accumulation of oxidative waste products (lipofuscin) are not observed in tissues from newborn calves. In contrast, the usual sources of most commercially available glandular products are glands and organs collected from different cattle carcasses of various ages, obtained from numerous slaughterhouses. Tissues are pooled, and processed with the resulting powdered preparation sold to manufacturers. As a result, physicians and consumers using such products have little or no detailed knowledge of their sources, such as the ages or health of animals harvested, or the degree of exposure to environmental stressors. The development of Biotics Research glandular products was the offshoot of original research performed by our CDC-licensed, genetics-toxicology testing laboratory in the 1980’s. When Biotics Research developed the first mobile laboratory to respond to environmental contamination requiring a rapid assessment of possible chromosomal damage, fetal calf serum was required to culture human cells. When the supply of fetal calf serum became limited due to increased demand by biotech firms, Biotics Research had to examine newborn calves as an alternative source. Serum isolated from these animals, tested at the National Institutes of Health, matched the quality of fetal calf serum. The use of newborn calves as a source of high quality glandular tissues resulted from this research.

ALIVE is specifically formulated to support the mind and body during times of depression and stress. It provides nutrients commonly deficient with depression. It has also been used frequently for mood elevation, in other words, those days when you have “the blues”. Dosage: One to two capsules three times a day, or as directed. Details: Many people with depression share common nutritional deficiencies such as folic acid, Vitamin B6, and tyrosine. These nutrients play a role in the conversion needed for proper neurotransmission in the brain. Each of these nutrients is included in Alive. Other key ingredients include : St John’s Wort, Gotu Kola, and Siberian Ginseng. St John’s Wort has proven itself time and again over 2500 years as an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression and other mental illnesses. It is an all-natural extract that supports essential physical functions of mental health and aids in proper neurotransmission in the brain. Gotu Kola also encourages a feeling of tranquility, illuminating feelings of stress and anxiety. Used for thousands of years in countries such as China, India, and Indonesia, it improves mental clarity and mental fatigue and reduces anxiety. Siberian Ginseng, also an important Adaptogenic herb, has been an important tonic to modulate stress and improve mental and physical performance under a wide variety of stressful conditions. It may also aid to balance mental and physical longevity. Recent research has reported improved performance, endurance, and concentration with fewer sick days for athletes, sportsmen, and workers alike when taking a regular regimen of this important product. Symptoms of depression or “burn-out” may include: Agitation, restlessness, and irritability Dramatic change in appetite, often with weight gain or loss Difficulty concentrating Fatigue and lack of energy Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness Feelings of worthlessness, self-hate, and guilt Becoming withdrawn or isolated Loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed Thoughts of death or suicide Trouble sleeping or excessive sleeping

DopaTropic® Powder contains a naturally occurring source of L-Dopa from the seed of the Mucuna pruriens plant. Dopamine functions to trigger numerous nerve impulses that affect muscle movement. Dopamine is also largely responsible for regulating physical movement, and emotion, and also effects the pleasure and motivation centers of the brain. Dopamine also assists neuronal transmission between neurons in the brain. Thus, the less dopamine there is, the less communication there is between the cells in the substantia nigra (midbrain). This area of the brain plays an important role in reward, addiction, and movement.
