Astaxanthin - 60 softgels *
$69.99
Astaxanthin is an extremely powerful carotenoid from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is one of the richest sources of natural astaxanthin. It is reddish in pigment and is what gives crustaceans such as krill, lobster, shrimp and salmon their vibrant pink color. Astaxanthin is a uniquely structured, longchain molecule which enables it to provide superior membrane protection, and it is considered to be substantially stronger than all other well-researched antioxidants. Its impressive antioxidant qualities benefit the body in many ways, including offering support for cardiovascular, GI, skin, and eye health.** The astaxanthin in this product is extracted directly from microalgae using a solvent-free technology that ensures maximum control and purity and allows for optimal bioavailability and stability.
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one softgel per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Ultra Vir-X - 90 Capsules
$32.00
Why you may need UltraVir-X®:
The immune system represents an elaborate, finely tuned defense to destroy and counter the effects of microorganisms and foreign substances. Under normal, healthy circumstances, these foreign invaders are destroyed without eliciting symptoms, and the immune system takes further action to program itself to immediately recognize said offenders quickly should they ever reappear. An imbalanced immune system, however, can not mount an immediate and overwhelming response to invaders, and this may set the stage for illness and chronic conditions. Therefore, maintaining a healthy immune system is key to avoiding persistent health challenges.
Among these foreign invaders, and particularly bothersome this time of year, are viruses. These microscopic viruses and virion particles are particularly effective at utilizing special chemical receptors to invade host cells and take them over for their own nefarious means. The upper respiratory tract, in particular, is susceptible to viral attack. A perfect example of this is the simple common cold, which affects nearly 90% of the population at some point throughout the year. About half of all colds are caused by rhino virus which enters the mucous membranes of the eye, nose, or lung. Transmission of the virus between individuals can be from coughing, sneezing, nose-blowing, and shaking hands or touching other contaminated surfaces.
Why your healthcare practitioner recommends UltraVir-X®:
UltraVir-X® is a comprehensive formula designed with the assistance of Dr. Gary Lasneski. It provides key vitamins and specific minerals, along with a complement of standardized botanical compounds possessing immuno-modulating properties. UltraVir-X® offers unique supplemental support for normal, healthy immune function.

Development of glandular products by Biotics Research
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.
How did Biotics Research become interested in glandulars?
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.
Comparison of methods of preparation of glandular productions
The aim in preparing glandular products is to preserve traits of the original tissue in as natural a state as possible, while providing long term stability and reasonable shelf life of the final product. Three basic methods are typically employed: lyophilization (freeze drying), solvent extraction or extraction with high concentrations of inorganic ions (salts). Because adult beef tissues are generally heavily infiltrated with connective and fatty tissues, many manufacturers also employ harsh organic solvents to extract fat. Many of these solvents also denature proteins in the process. High concentrated salt solutions exclude nonpolar, more lipophilic materials and membrane associated substances. These types of extraction are generally followed by heating to dry the glandular powder, typically utilizing high temperatures to remove the organic solvents or water, which can denature proteins, including enzymes.
Glandular production at Biotics Research
Biotics Research relies on low temperature treatment with mild solvents to dehydrate the preparations; conditions known to preserve enzyme, protein and polypeptide factors. Neonatal glands possess very little fatty tissue, which is trimmed by hand. Glandular preparations are then dried at mild temperatures to preserve activities of whole organs and glands. Tableting is accomplished under lower pressures than routinely used in the industry. Biotics Research’s quality control laboratory confirmed that tableting, under lower pressures as done by Biotics Research, does not cause any significant loss of fragile coenzyme and vitamin activities.
Laboratory Assessment of Cytozyme-THYTM
In promoting T cell maturation, thymosin binds to immature T cells, altering their surface properties so they form “rosettes” in vitro. Cytozyme-THYTM was assayed using a T cell rosette formation assay based on mouse peripheral blood lymphocytes (the Wara Ammann E Rosette bioassay) by an independent laboratory. Cytozyme-THYTM increased T cell rosette formation approximately 2-fold greater than that obtained by a competitor’s thymus glandular.

We all carry around millions of friends, bacteria, viruses, and yeasts; parasites, working together in perfect harmony to aid digestion, defensive protection, nutrient absorption, enzyme activity, and no doubt, dozens of yet unknown symbiotic relationships that keep us alive. We call these 'colonies' of friends flora or Microbiota. Though they aid in our immune responses, it is the role of our immune system to keep proper balance so there doesn't rise up a revolution. Again, it's all about balance. Should one colony reproduce more rapidly than an opposing colony - we have a rebellion needing to be squashed by an immune response.
Balance
This internal balance is matched by the external balance. We are at one with both environments. Night, and more specifically sleep - deep sleep, is our greatest ally in keeping our internal environment in balance. Every morning (assuming the victory occurred in the previous hours) your immune system's internal balance has 'set' the day's picture: from your ability to fight disease, get pregnant, have balanced thought and memory, maintain metabolic homeostasis, and 'win'. We were created to live in community, not just with other humans but with other living organisms in the microcosm we call our body.
When parasites get out-of-balance, through over-exposure from consuming water or food that has been contaminated, from our pets, or even from each other, we need to treat. Traveling abroad can also expose you to tropical parasites, and, depending on what parasite you have and what body system it affects, symptoms of parasitic infections can include the following:
stomach pain and/or cramps
nausea and/or vomiting
weight loss
fever
gas / diarrhea
constipation / upset stomach
flu-like symptoms
swollen lymph nodes
aches and pains
itching
redness / irritation

Dual Phase Detox - 120 caps
$50.90
Dual Phase Optimizers to Support Phase I & II Detox
Dual Phase Detox is designed to support balanced activity of the body’s Phase I and Phase II detoxification processes.* It has been formulated to contain select ingredients, Dual Phase Optimizers (DPO), to enhance the activities of hepatic detoxification enzymes and support healthy detoxification pathways.
The 5-MTHF in this formula – Quatrefolic® – is the most biologically active form of folate, allowing rapid uptake into the bloodstream.* The 5-MTHF in this formula is also known as the "L" form of 5-MTHF since it is the reduced form of folate.
Dual Phase Detox features ingredients that work solely to enhance Phase II detoxification and support the excretion of toxins from the body.* For example, during the process of sulfation, toxins are neutralized through the addition of a sulfate.
Therefore, sulfur-containing substances such as sodium sulfate, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and NAC are effective detoxifiers. Ellagic acid (from pomegranate), Calcium D-Glucarate, watercress, alpha lipoic acid, and catechins from green tea leaf extract, also stimulate Phase II detoxification pathways.
Calcium D-Glucarate improves the metabolism of toxins due to its ability to increase glucuronidation. Through this process, glucuronic acid is added to a substance, yielding compounds called glucuronides. These end products are more water soluble than their parent compounds, facilitating their elimination from the body. Many xenobiotic substances — such as drugs, pollutants, and hormones — are processed through glucuronidation.
Animal research indicates calcium d-glucarate protects tissues against excessive estrogen exposure through enhancing glucuronidation. Finally, Dual Phase Detox incorporates antioxidants to help quench any free radicals released during the first phase of detoxification, such as artichoke leaf extract and alpha lipoic acid. Artichoke also helps increase bile secretion and urine output, both of which enhance the excretion of toxins.

Organic Bitter Raw Apricot Seeds - 16 oz.
$19.99
Important Information About Apricot Seeds
Are You Throwing Away The Healthiest Part Of The Fruit?
Most of us enjoy the outer sweet taste of many fruits like apricots, peaches, and cherries. But did you know that inside these fruits is what many cultures believe to be the healthiest part of the fruit? Hidden inside the strong armored pit is a small seed that contains a highly nutritious substance called Amygdalin, most commonly known as B17.
What is B17 (Amygdalin)?
Amygdalin, often referred to as B17, is a naturally occurring molecule found in over 1,200 different foods including fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and seeds. B17 is found in concentrated amounts in the seeds of apricots, plums, cherries, oranges, nectarines, apples, peaches, and many other fruits. Our natural B17 supplement is extracted from bitter raw apricot seeds.
B17 Is Found in Hundreds of Foods!
In addition to apricot seeds, B17 is found in wild blackberries, wild crabapples, elderberries, apple seeds, cherry seeds, nectarine seeds, peach seeds, pear seeds, plum seeds, prune seeds, fava, bamboo, alfalfa, eucalyptus and cassava, boysenberries, huckleberries, raspberries, strawberries, squash seeds, black beans, black eyed peas, lentils, lima beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, cashews, macadamia nuts, spinach, watercress, sweet potatoes and yams.
Why Do I Need It?
B17 is primarily used by people to help support a healthy immune system. Many people believe that B17 is an essential nutrient and may offer a variety of benefits to our health. We encourage everyone to do their own research and decide on their own how it may help them.
Why The Apricot Seed?
You can find moderate amounts of B17 in the seeds of such fruits as apples, peaches, nectarines, plums, and cherries. But, of all the foods containing B17, the apricot seed has been found to have one of the highest levels. Our seeds also contain Pangamic Acid (B15) as well as naturally occurring enzymes. These three items work together synergistically to maximize the benefits of B17 to your health.
Bitter Is Better, No Matter What Your Taste Buds Say!
The bitterness in the apricot seed indicates the amount of B17 content it contains. Sweet seeds contain little to no B17 whereas bitter seeds contain the most. We recommend grinding the seeds to mix into smoothies, shakes, oatmeal, soups, salads and more.
Ways to Enjoy the Apricot Seed
Some people like the bitter, amaretto like flavor when eaten alone, while others do not. Popular ways to enjoy apricot seeds include: dipped in honey; inside a dried apricot; ground and sprinkled on a sandwich or salad; in a blended drink or added to trail mix. For those that prefer a sweeter option see our website for our Wholefood Snack Bars, ApriSweet Dark Chocolate, and SuperFood Mix.
What is the Shelf Life of Apricot Seeds?
We guarantee our seeds for at least 2 years from the date of packaging.
B17 As A Supplement
Some people may want to get even more B17 in their diet. For them, we also offer a B17 supplement in 100mg and 500mg capsules and tablets.

GastroMend-HP - 60 Capsules
$61.99
GastroMend-HP™ is a blend of botanical extracts which supports a healthy gastric microbial balance and helps maintain a healthy gastric mucosa. This formula may be helpful for occasional heartburn, bloating or upset stomach.**
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take four capsules per day between meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner (divided dosing recommended).
The stomach lining contains a thick layer of mucus that protects it from the harsh acidity of the gastric juices, which are necessary for digesting proteins and killing unwanted organisms that may enter the digestive tract. However, someof these organisms can withstand the acidic environment of the stomach and damage the lining of the stomach, leadingto abdominal pain. Similarly, stress, environmental toxins, a poor diet, dehydration, and an imbalanced composition of organisms in the intestines can also lead to stomach issues such as occasional bloating, heartburn, and an upset stomach.* GastroMend-HPTM focuses on helping to rebalance the organisms in the stomach and restore a healthy mucosal lining.*
Highlights
GastroMend-HPTM may be useful for:*
• Supporting a healthy digestive system
• Rejuvenating gastric mucosal health
• Helping to ease occasional abdominal discomfort, i.e., bloating, heartburn
Mastic Gum is a resinous substance from a tree originally native to the island of Chios in Greece. It has a long history of use in the Mediterranean and Middle East regions of the world where it has been chewed like gum for helping to relieve stomach pain. It also helps the body fight against unwanted organisms.
Methylmethionine Sulfonium is a derivative of the amino acid, methionine, which is found abundantly in raw cabbage. The use of raw cabbage juice has been studied extensively, particularly in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, for its ability to help support the health of the mucosa throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) is a well-researched botanical for supporting the repair and maintenance of a healthy mucosal lining throughout the GI tract. It also possesses a rich supply of antioxidants which help to fight against unwanted organisms while preserving the helpful organisms in the GI tract.
