According to Dr. Thomas Rau, MD, leader in #biologicalmedicine, "the assimilation of calcium in the body depends on Vitamin D and, in the gut, on the intestinal bacteria." If the intestinal flora is intact, then the assimilation of calcium into the blood is improved. Foods that support this include: olive oil, cashew nuts, sea fish, flaxseed oil, unsaturated fatty acids (especially important for children) & Vitamin D.

There's been lots of discussion for various supplements to prevent or treat #Covid19 -- Vitamin C has been one of those. We know that Vitamin C is essential in helping the immune system. More specifically: "Vitamin C exerts its #antiviral properties by supporting lymphocyte activity, increasing interferon- production, modulating cytokines, reducing inflammation, improving endothelial dysfunction, and restoring mitochondrial function. There are also suggestions that vitam...in C may be directly viricidal" A human study on USSR soldiers showed that just 300mg of Vitamin C daily helped prevent influenza-associated pneumonia & was associated with shorter hospital stays. While this study wasn't related to coronavirus, it certainly shows how effective vitamin C can be at helping the immune system. We offer many vitamin C supplements because it's so effective for so many different situations! Our - is an absolute favorite!

It's World Antibiotic Awareness week! Although antibiotics can be a life-saving tool, we need to use it appropriately. The overuse antibiotics is leading to antibiotic resistance worldwide (when bacteria find a way to survive the medicine, thereby becoming difficult to treat). When we take probiotics during an antibiotic therapy, we help to rebuild the gut flora that is being disrupted by the antibiotic. This flora rebuilding can help prevent further serious infections (f...or example C. diff). By preventing more bacterial infections, we need less antibiotics (have less side effects), and less antibiotic resistance develops! #winwin It's no wonder that one of our most popular products is a well-rounded probiotic: -- Intestinal Flora, Female and Immune Health 7 unique strains (4 human strains) Enhances mucosal immune defense Restore intestinal flora Maintains intestinal barrier

As many children head back to school, it's a good idea for healthcare practitioners to think about screening for ADHD. #ADHD is the most prevalent childhood psychiatric disorder in Canada. Unfortunately, it remains under-recognized and underdiagnosed even though it is the most treatable psychiatric disorder in Canada. Children who are treated with #detoxification & supported with #orthomolecular therapy between the ages of 4-6 have a much better prognosis. In most cases ADHD ...has several causes & aggravating factors. However, in almost all cases, ADHD can be alleviated if contributory causes are removed or treated. One of those contributory causes is often heavy metals - in particular, aluminum. An investigation has shown that 98% of children with ADHD had elevated aluminium (as per hair mineral analysis) in comparison to control school-age children at 25%. Aluminium is neurotoxic. In children, it can lead to hyperactivity & reduced personality development. Aluminium excretion is promoted by Vitamin B6, calcium and magnesium. Further heavy metal elimination may include algae preparations, methionine, vitamin C, and zinc. Contact us for more information & ask for the book "Biological Medicine" by Dr. Thomas Rau MD.

Turmeric is a known powerhouse for fighting inflammation. Its key constituent, curcumin, is a well-researched #antioxidant and #antiinflammatory that helps to fight free radical damage, and prevent & treat arthritis, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and even neurological conditions.

Serrapeptase is an proteolytic and mucolytic enzyme derived from the bacteria Serratia mercesans. As a broad spectrum systemic enzyme, it works to break down inflammation and break up excess mucous and congestion. It is used to support healthy respiratory and sinus function, as well as muscle, joint and overall tissue health. Breaks up mucous in sinus, lung, GI tract Reduces chronic inflammation Dissolves bacterial biofilm matrix, diminishing infection potential... Serrapeptase is widely used in clinical practice in Japan for chronic airway disease. Studies have supported the use of serrapeptase to reduce coughing, expectoration and for sinusitis, likely via serrapeptase reducing neutrophil numbers and altering the viscoelasticity of sputum in patients with chronic airway diseases.

As we get ready for back-to-school, it's extra important to strengthen our #immune systems. We all know that not everyone infected with a virus will become sick. Someone with a weakened immune system will naturally catch more viral diseases. The immune system relies on an intact intestinal #flora & intestinal mucosa -- up to 80% of our lymphocytes (immune cells) are found within the intestinal wall. Because not everyone with the virus gets sick, it's important to realize tha...t it is never solely the virus that makes a disease. Our "inner milieu" or "immune system", and with it our resistance to disease, are determined by the following: diet the acid-alkaline balance a good supply of vitamins & trace elements heavy metals one's mental & emotional situation one's lifestyle & influence of environmental factors "Looking at these connections, it is clear that prevention of viral and bacterial disease must take place on the level of white blood-cells, the internal milieu, diet and intestinal flora." Our Probiotic 7 in 1 has a variety of shelf-stable probiotic strains to balance the intestinal flora & is excellent for boosting the immune system.

We hope you are safely enjoying your summer this year! To support a healthy #immune system, we're drinking our refreshing C Boost drink. It has a tropical flavor reminiscent of pineapple & oranges, and we love it! Vitamin C supports both innate & adaptive immune cells, a strong epithelial barrier, and reduces oxidative stress. Therefore, to stay strong & healthy - vitamin C is absolutely necessary. 1 scoop of C boost contains 2 grams (2000mg) of #VitaminC. In comparison, an orange contains 70mg vitamin C & a 1 cup serving of pineapple is fairly similar at 79mg vitamin C. So, while you should eat your fruits & vegetables first (because they contain SO many other healthy compounds & enzymes), a single C Boost drink is able to boost your daily Vitamin C intake much more than any singular food could.
