5-MTHF PLUS FORTE (60T) *
$49.90
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.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine - 90 Capsules - Biotics Research
$41.00
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.

ADB5-Plus - 180 Tablets - Biotics Research
$64.90
$69.90
Why you may need ADB5-PlusTM:
Adrenal fatigue is considered one of the most prevalent debilitating conditions of the past fifty years, affecting millions each year. Despite its commonality, it often goes undiagnosed. The adrenal glands play an essential role in many bodily functions, including stress adaptation and regulation. Specific nutrients, known to provide valuable support for the adrenals, can offer complementary and restorative features to overstressed adrenals. For example, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) plays an important role in energy production, and a deficiency has been correlated to disruptions in, or abnormal, neurotransmitter production, resulting in difficulty in dealing with stressful situations. Pantothenic acid is essential in the formation of coenzyme A (CoA), as the initial step in the synthesis of CoA is phosphorlyation of pantothenate. CoA is required in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, acetycholine, a chemical required for nerve transmission. Accordingly, pantothenic acid is sometimes referred to as the “antistress” vitamin.
Why we recommend ADB5-PlusTM:
ADB5-PlusTM offers a comprehensive choice for adrenal support, incorporating a diverse array of vitamins, minerals, botanicals and glandular components to provide restorative attributes to overstressed adrenals. In addition to pantothenic acid, ADB5-PlusTM provides key components known to support adrenal function, including vitamin C, the B-complex vitamins thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid, along with NAC, adrenal glandular concentrate, Rhodiola rosea and mushroom derived Tyrosinase.

ADHS - 240 Tablets - Biotics Research
$53.90
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®.

Why you may need A.D.P.®:
Modern researchers frequently turn to spices and herbs that have been used for centuries to unlock health benefits. Long before the advent of refrigeration, herbs and culinary spices were recognized to slow food spoilage, showing the natural antimicrobial properties at work. Increasingly, interest in identifying the active constituents of the essential oils in these everyday flavorings has grown. One well‐researched herb whose essential oils have been shown to have health benefits is oil of oregano. Oil of oregano contains several phenolic compounds including carvacrol and thymol, the two with greatest biological activity, and antioxidants. A.D.P.® has been proven effective against yeast and parasites (Patent #5,955,086).(1,2) Further research indicates the active components of oil of oregano adversely affect the ability of various microbial organisms to reproduce.(3)
Why we recommend A.D.P.®:
While people have relied on the health‐promoting properties of oregano oil for hundreds of years, Biotics Research Corporation has dramatically improved its delivery system.(2) With its proven effective, patented formula, A.D.P.® can deliver the emulsified form oil of oregano throughout the digestive tract, where it supports the body’s response to undesirable intestinal organisms. Furthermore, oil of oregano is mostly absorbed in one area of the small intestine, thus limiting the efficacy of a non‐gradual released product in reaching key areas of the digestive tract.While many commercially available oregano oil products vary in potency, and can be difficult to take due to unpalatable taste, A.D.P.® supplies a standardized extract of oregano oil (50mg) in a gradual release mechanism, ensuring the ease of dosing and maximum delivery.
A.D.P.® is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.

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

Alpha-Theta Ultra PM (60 ct)
$48.48
A Somnotropic Formula
• Supports Onset, Duration and Quality of Sleep
• Induces Calming Brainwave Activity
Good quality, uninterrupted sleep is integral to achieving optimal health. Without it, we fall prey to a cascade of physiologic dysfunction that results in increased body mass index (BMI), a decline in cognitive performance1, increased risk of heart disease and diabetes, hormonal imbalances, immune system dysfunction, depression and anxiety, and even vitamin D deficiency.
Stages of Sleep
Sleep is a complex phenomenon constituted by two types of sleep patterns: non-REM (also called Slow Wave Sleep) and REM. In an ideal sleep pattern, a person experiences stages of sleep in non-REM and REM phases. Slow Wave Sleep (non-REM) presents as a high voltage slow wave electroencephalographic pattern (alpha and delta waves), while REM sleep exhibits a low voltage fast wave pattern (theta wave) accompanied by eye movement. If either phase is disrupted, or sleep disturbance results. Although stages of sleep accompanied by calming brainwave activity is the natural circadian rhythm, 70% of American adults report that they obtain insufficient sleep at least one night a month, and 11% report insufficient sleep every night. It is estimated that sleep-related problems affect 50 to 70 million Americans of all ages and socioeconomic classes.2 Because sleep deprivation is linked to increased health risk, sleeplessness has become a public health concern.
Root of Sleeplessness
At the root of impaired sleep quality may be a number of underlying issues. Neurochemical balance is key to achieving optimal sleep patterns. However, the following may be contributing to a neurochemical imbalance:
• Imbalance in neurotransmitter function (GABA, serotonin and dopamine)
• Lack of precursors to make neurotransmitters • Excess glutamate
• HPA-Axis Dysregulation
• Anxiety and stress
• Environmental factors • Electromagnetic fields
Anxiety can be an instigator for sleepless nights and seems to be the result of an imbalance in neurotransmitter (GABA, serotonin and dopamine) function. Excess glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, results in low gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), essential for limiting the excitation of neurotransmitters and fundamental for good-quality sleep.
Electromagnetic fields and blue light also play a role in decreased melatonin production,3 necessary for normal sleep cycles. Stress, common to 79% of all Americans4, can yield excess cortisol or insufficient cortisol production, both of which tip the hormonal balance to wakefulness in the night.
Although each person’s neurochemistry is unique, Alpha-Theta Ultra PM is a somnotropic formula that incorporates key nutrients recognized to induce calming brainwave activity and promote the onset and duration of high-quality sleep for most people by supporting GABA receptor function, and healthy levels of serotonin and dopamine.
Well-researched anxiolytic botanicals and nutrients include L-theanine (Suntheanine®), Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis), Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), 5-HTP, and Melatonin.
L-Theanine (Increases GABA and Dopamine Levels) L-theanine (γ-glutamylethylamide) is an amino acid found in green tea. A derivative of glutamic acid, it is one of the most important neurotransmitters. Fat-soluble, it is easily absorbed and crosses the blood-brain barrier resulting in increased dopamine and GABA levels in the brain, and increased production of calming brain alpha- waves. L-theanine has been shown to support improved sleep quality not by sedation but through anxiolysis.
Protection Against Glutamate Toxicity
There is some evidence L-theanine offers neuroprotective benefits partly due to the antagonistic action of theanine on glutamate subtype aMPA and kainite receptors. By acting on the glutamine (Gln) transporter, it inhibits the incorporation of extracellular Gln into neurons, suppressing the conversion of glutamine to glutamate by glutaminase. This antagonistic activity plays a role in neuroprotection against glutamate toxicity.
Optimizes Stress Response
In one study where subjects were given L-theanine and a placebo and exposed to stressors to test cortisol levels, the salivary cortisol response was significantly reduced in the subjects taking L-theanine when compared to the placebo.
In another study, L-theanine intake resulted in a reduction in heart rate (HR) and salivary immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) responses to acute stress.
