Saccharomyces boulardii is a viable yeast that is genetically different from Baker's yeast, and does not contain milk components. S. boulardii is a true biotic, or living organism, which has been shown to have beneficial effects by improving intestinal microbalance when administered in adequate amounts. S. boulardii is not part of the naturally occurring gut flora, and is not significantly impacted by antibiotics. Oral administration achieves steady state concentrations in the colon within three days, but does not colonize in the intestinal tract. The organism is typically cleared from the intestinal tract within 2 to 5 days after discontinuation. Each capsule supplies 235 mg of Saccharomyces boulardii, providing a minimum of 4 billion organisms at the time of manufacture. *This item may take longer to ship out*

Cytozyme Parotid-TS™ supplies organ/glandular specific support as bovine parotid tissue concentrate, combined with neonatal thymus and neonatal spleen, along with SOD and catalase, important antioxidant enzymes.  *This item may take longer to ship out*

Probiotics are classically defined as "a preparation of, or a product containing viable, defined microorganisms in sufficient numbers, which alter the microbiota (typically by colonization) in a compartment of the host, and by that, exert beneficial health effects in this host". In humans the organ considered to be the most diverse and the most metabolically active is the gastrointestinal tract. An integral part of an optimally functioning gastrointestinal tract is the microbial community. BioDoph-7 Plus® supplies a blend of pro- and prebiotics, including Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salvarius, and Streptococcus thermophilus, along with the prebiotics Inulin (from chicory root), Arabinogalactans (from Larch), and Marshmallow root (extract).  *This item may take longer to ship out*

Bio-Multi Plus™ Fe & Cu Free is a versatile, balanced multiple vitamin and mineral supplement, that supplies unique forms of important micro-nutrients available exclusively from Biotics Research Corporation. This formula is free of both Iron and Copper.  *This item may take longer to ship out*

5-MTHF Plus Forte® supplies folate, in the active form of (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt. 5-MTHF Plus Forte® is a highly absorbable, activated form of folate, which does not require enzymatic conversion to 5-methylfolate in the body. The glucosamine salt form utilized in 5-MTHF Plus Forte® is more stable than other forms of methylfolate often used. Folate deficiency is one of the most common vitamin deficiencies. In individuals with homozygous (TT) or heterozygous (CT) genetic predisposition, eating folate-rich foods may not provide the recommended daily dosage of folate; thus the need for supplementation. By providing 5-methylfolate directly, 5-MTHF Plus Forte® may have benefits for those who do not produce enough 5-methylfolate in response to folic acid supplementation. Each serving (1 tablet) of 5-MTHF Plus Forte® contains 2,500 mcg of Folate.  *This item may take longer to ship out*

Why you may need Thyrostim: The thyroid gland is actually a collection of individual glands called follicles, where newly synthesized hormone is secreted prior to release into the bloodstream. In general, thyroid hormones refer to T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). Though T4 is the main product, T3 is 3 to 4 times more active. T4 (with 4 atoms of iodine) is converted to T3 (with 3 atoms of iodine) via peripheral tissues, especially the liver and lung. Several factors, including low metabolic rate, falling blood pressure, and conditions that increase the need for energy such as a cold environment, hypoglycemia, pregnancy, or high altitude, stimulate the secretion of thyroid hormones. Varying degrees of low thyroid function are routinely detected by laboratory tests and other measures. Why we may recommend Thyrostim: The manufacture of thyroid hormones requires specific nutritional support. ThyrostimTM’s broad spectrum formula was designed to provide these key nutrients. Take iodine for example; the common form of iodine in foods is iodide. At maximal activity, the thyroid can contain up to a 300-fold greater concentration of iodide than blood levels. Cells oxidize iodide to organically bound iodine, which is then chemically combined with tyrosine, an amino acid that is a protein building block. Each molecule of thyroid hormone contains the equivalent of two tyrosine molecules. Many other key nutrients are supplied by ThyrostimTM as well, such as selenium and magnesium, which are essential for healthy thyroid function. As always, you can count on Biotics Research Corporation to bring you “The Best of Science & Nature”. *This item may take longer to ship out*

This item is on Backorder TolerAid™ provides nutrients the body needs to meet the onslaught of compounds that may trigger chemical intolerance and sensitivities, and offers nutritional support for healthy, functioning detoxification pathways, mitochondrial function, and methylation processes. *This item may take longer to ship out*

Thiamin-50™ is a high potency thiamin supplement. Consider it when significant thiamin need is indicated. *This item may take longer to ship out*

Osteo-B II™, like Osteo-B Plus® is a comprehensive bone support formula. Bone is a dynamic tissue that requires adequate nutrition for maintenance and growth. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake throughout life is linked to reduced risk of osteoporosis through the mechanism of optimizing peak bone mass during adolescence and early adulthood, or slowing the rate of bone loss for persons with a family history of the disease, post menopausal women, and elderly men and women. Although calcium is an important component to support bone health, other nutritional synergists are equally important, to support and nurture the skeletal system. Osteo-B II supplies key nutritional synergists, including Calcium and Magnesium in a 1:1 ratio. Osteo-B II™ is similar to the product Osteo-B Plus, however, Osteo-B II is a smaller tablet that does not contain copper, utilizes phosphorylated forms of B vitamins, and as noted above supplies calcium and magnesium in a 1:1 ratio. *This item may take longer to ship out*

Optic-Plus™ provides vitamins, minerals, antioxidant enzymes, botanical extracts, and key carotenoids to support healthy ocular function. As we age, we become susceptible to vision irregularities due to environmental exposure such as Ultra Violet (UV) light, poor lifestyle habits and dietary inadequacies. Specific nutrients can play an important role in ocular health. Certain important antioxidants can scavenge free-radicals, reducing the risk of oxidative damage to the lens and cornea of the eye. Key carotenoids, especially lutein and zeaxanthin, protect against oxidative damage, and are linked to reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Lutein and zeaxanthin form the pigment that absorbs the macular damaging -"blue light." Anthocyanidins from Bilberry extract have also been shown to contribute to visual acuity. In addition to the nutrients noted above, Vitamins C, E, and riboflavin have all shown to be protective against age-related ocular decline, as have important minerals such as zinc and selenium. Vitamin A's role in ocular health has long been established. Optic plus supplies these and other nutrients important for ocular (eye) health.   *This item may take longer to ship out*

Mo-Zyme Forte™ supplies a supplemental source of molybdenum (Mo). Mo is an essential trace element, and plays an important role in human life as a cofactor for several enzymes. Although Mo deficiency is rare, deficiency may result in toxicity due to the decreased activity of enzymes requiring molybdenum, particularly the sulfite reductase enzyme. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency may also lead to a decrease in the activity of molybdenum enzymes. (www.naturalmedicines.therapeuticresearch.com) Each tablet of Mo-Zyme Forte supplies 150mcg of molybdenum.  *This item may take longer to ship out*
