Young Lungs
The Lungs control Qi. By increasing and decreasing the rate and depth of respiration, one can control one’s energy. Healthy Lungs are moist and clean.
A number of important tonic herbs are traditionally used to enhance the health of the Lungs, and these herbs naturally moisten the Lungs. These herbs are especially useful in dry environments and may be of special importance to those who smoke. All of the herbs in Young Lungs help to improve respiratory efficiency, moisten the respiratory membranes, clear the lungs of phlegm and toxins, and help maintain the immuno-competence of the respiratory system. This is an excellent tonic for those living in poor air quality environments and for those who have experienced weak lungs. It is also an excellent tonic for athletes who require superior respiratory functioning. It is a superb formula for those who are training their lungs and for practitioners of qigong and yoga.
Yin tonic herbs cab help improve the fluid balance in the Lungs. Young Lungs contains the full range of Yin tonic herbs that specifically nourish the Lungs and help remove unhealthy sputum.
American Ginseng is a Yin tonic herb, especially nourishing to the Lungs and skin. American Ginseng is cool in nature. It is an excellent Qi tonic and is widely used to strengthen respiratory function.
Tremella mushroom is strengthens the vital energy, harmonizes the blood and nourishes the brain. It enriches the Kidneys, lubricates the Lungs, promotes the secretion of saliva, nourishes the stomach, and is able to lubricate the intestines.
Glehnia root is a Yin tonic that moistens the lungs and replenishes fluids. Schizandra is a supertonic herb with many actions. It is one of the premier Lung tonics of Chinese herbalism. Schizandra helps rejuvenate the Lungs. Schizandra provides Qi to the Lungs and helps the Lungs further extract Qi from the air we breathe. Adenophora Root has similar properties to Glehnia Root and even looks very similar. It is very useful for resolving and dissolving heated phlegm. Licorice is an excellent Lung tonic. It builds Qi and moistens the Lungs and throat. This herb also helps eliminate toxins from the body and to harmonize the herbs in this formula.
Prince Ginseng (Pseudostellaria Root) is used primarily in tonics to build Qi and to strengthen the Lungs. It is an excellent Lung tonic that generates proper Lung fluids, improves breathing, and helps relieve coughing associated with dryness. Ophiopogon is primarily used as a Yin tonic, and especially as a Yin tonic to the Lungs. It is excellent for moistening any dryness in the body, and especially that of the Lungs. It is cooling and helps relieve dryness due to heat. It is a great herb for people who experience hot, dry lungs.*

Dragon Herbs Goat Placenta 60caps (500mg)
£31.00
TreasuresJing, Qi and BloodTreasure Rating*****Atmospheric EnergyWarmTasteSweet and SaltyOrgan Meridian SystemsKidney, Heart and LungPart Used and FormCleaned, boiled New Zealand Goat PlacentaPrimary FunctionsTo tonify Yang and nourish Yin Jing, to build Qi and BloodQualitiesGoat Placenta is the quintessential Jing restorative tonic.JingTo appreciate placenta, you have to understand Jing, our fundamental life force. Jing is the primary energy of life. It is closely associated with the aging process. The quantity of Jing determines both our lifespan and the ultimate vitality of our life. We are given a certain amount of Jing by our parents when we are born. We deplete our Jing through our living. When we run low on Jing, we die. Because of its original role of nurturing new life, placenta is considered to be the most profound substance for replenishing Jing. At conception, Jing of the mother and father merge and become one in the womb. This united essence creates an energy which forms the foundation of the new human being’s life. It is called pre-natal Jing. During pregnancy, the fetus relies upon the mother to nurture and protect the pre-natal Jing. The placenta is the source of this nourishment. Taking Goat Placenta as a deep Jing restorative supplement is like plugging yourself into the wall socket and recharging your life battery. Goat Placenta provides certain substances that have been shown to have a profound positive influence on the aging process.Goat Placenta Placenta is an embryonic tissue formed during pregnancy from the cells of the fetus. The unique biological compounds in placenta ensure that the fetus is supplied with the necessary nutrients and oxygen needed for successful growth. Chinese anti-aging and restorative formulations have often relied upon placenta as a primary ingredient in formulations designed to rejuvenate the body. Goat Placenta has been accepted as the premier source of placenta. Goat is considered to be a “higher order” animal, and Goat Placenta very closely resembles human placenta chemically. It is extraordinarily nourishing and is completely safe to consume.IGF-1 and Hyaluronic AcidIGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) is a protein that promotes tissue growth, organ health, and healthy blood sugar levels. Almost every cell in the human body is affected by IGF-1, especially cells in muscle, cartilage, bone, liver, kidney, nerves, skin, and lungs. In addition to the beneficial insulin-like effects, IGF-1 can also regulate cell growth and development, especially in nerve cells, as well as cellular DNA synthesis. IGF-1 mediates most of the growth-promoting and metabolic effects of growth hormone. Our body’s demand for IGF-1 never decreases, but aging is accompanied by a loss of IGF-1. As our IGF-1 levels decrease, the physical exuberance and vitality that accompany youthfulness also recede. IGF-1 is a natural constituent of goat placenta. It is assumed that the Goat Placenta IGF-1, being a very large molecule, when consumed orally, is digested in the small intestines and broken down into amino acids and other components. The complete set of components provided by Goat Placenta of the IGF-1 may be used to enhance innate IGF-1 production. Goat Placenta’s complete amino acid profile is extraordinarily close to that of humans. And Goat Placenta is rich in hyaluronic acid, an essential component in many tissues of the body. Hyalunronic acid helps to support healthy skin, eyesight, and joint function. A 150 pound man has roughly half an ounce of hyaluronic acid in his body, one third of which is turned over (degraded and must be re-supplied or re-made) every day.NEW ZEALAND, a Di Tao source of goat placentaNew Zealand is free from the major animal diseases found throughout the world. These diseases include “Mad Cow” disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), foot and mouth disease, rabies, chronic wasting disease, etc. Dragon Herbs regards New Zealand to be a Di Tao source of Goat Placenta. Its pristine environment contributes greatly to the health and vitality of New Zealand goat. We only use placenta that has been certified by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry of Australian government for pharmaceutical purposes.*Suggested UseAs a restorative, as a dietary supplement, take Goat Placenta for 100 days, 2 capsules 2 times a day. Once or twice a year, as a dietary supplement, take Goat Placenta for 30 days, 2 capsules 2 times a day.Each bottle contains 60 vegetarian capsules, 500 milligrams each..

~~ INDIUMEASE ~ THE Silver Bullet ~~~ You can live without INDIUM, but you may not achieve Optimum Longevity without it ~
The 7th-rarest Mineral # 49 on the Periodic Table, INDIUM, until now was not bioavailable, therefore all plants & animals are 99% deficient. INDIUM is the "Missing Link" unifying two major Mineral groups, for the first time in history INDIUM is made bioavailable by the patented process #6,007,847 for an evolutionary feeling of easy living. What does rare INDIUM do, besides raising average Mineral uptake 60 to 694% ? INDIUM (In) is a soft silvery supermetal discovered in 1850 .05 ppm. in earth ores, insoluble in water so only traces are taken up in the food chain and present in fauna or anima on autopsy.
Indium was first tested in 200 mice compared to 200 controls by Dartmouth Medical School's Dr. Henry A. Schroeder, J.J. Balassa, Marian Mitchner, M. Kanisawa, A.P. Nason, and W.H. Vinton in 1964-68; who reported that INDIUM improved average Mineral absorption in the glands 142%; raised Chromium in all organs average 333%, enhancing Insulin that regulates muscle-building Protein and Carbohydrate energy in mammals. SAFETY: Indium is among the safest of trace elements, safer than Selenium & most minerals; there has never been a case of human poisoning from industrial use of Indium. Indium-sulfate was granted F.D.A. “Generally Recognized As Safe” G.R.A.S. status. Begin slowly, and Reduce Amount if under severe stress or multiple trauma to avoid too-speedy rejuvenation. Take in moderation, not excess. The recommended Patented INDIUM DAILY AMOUNT is 1 Drop per 50 lb. of body weight, containing 1 mg. 99.9% pure INDIUM as Indium-sulfate per drop. Swallow Drops on back of tongue on an empty stomach upon arising (7-10 hours after last food); & wait 10 minutes before eating. Begin taking one drop per day the first week, raising by 1 drop per day each successive week, to normal amount.

The implication is that the absorption and use of many mineral elements is, and always has been, poor; the "Limiting Factor" to optimal health, because there is no significant amount of soluble Indium in the biosphere. Indium is not "essential for life," or humans and animals would have died out; but Indium appears to be "essential for optimal health," or Level-2 of Nutrition, that wasn't available before Bonadio's Indium discovery.
Of interest is that high Cadmium intake is often toxic, but Indium (In) being next heavier, may displace some of the toxicity of excess Cadmium.
Indium is an inexpensive, preferred supplement for all types of animals, pets, and humans.

REPORTS FROM INDIUM USERS
The following are seven notarized statements prepared for the Comissioner of Patents:
From a security policeman at a local hospital:
From sluggishness and no pep I changed into a feeling of happiness inside. People now tell me that I talk more friendly and smile easier. My sex drive has improved remarkably, for my 50 years of age, to like it was when I was 25. I have less anxiety, able to sit without being anxious to get up and move, with a clearness to my mind.
From a financial trustee of a local synagogue:
I was down in the dumps at 76, but now feel radiant, more like living. I don't need as many hours of sleep, and I'm not as tired anymore when I get up; and more interested in daily affairs. Previously I did not want to get out of bed.
From a doctor, possibly with cancer:
I have a little more energy ... less rawness in right chest ... improved energy and appetite ... totally free of irritations in the right chest for the first time in several months. Off of Indium for three days, now ... discomfort again in right chest. On Indium again, no rawness in chest. Vitality much improved.
From an investment counselor:
I am sleeping about two hours less per night, and just as rested. I am more ambitious, with more drive, clearing up what I never touched before. I have such a sense of well-being that I could run back from lunch instead of walking. Mentally I am more organized, more clear. My mind is busy all the time.
From a retired electrical contractor:
Indium has cleared my thinking up. Before I had to stop and sit down to collect my thoughts. Now I can think on the move.
From a registered nurse, possibly with cancer:
The symptoms I had yesterday, in a haze and forgetful, with some numbness around mouth and tongue, have disappeared. I have more energy today, and feel better generally. I sleep very well, did not wake during the night as I usually do. I woke 1.5 hours before normal time, and felt relaxed. I lost three pounds of overweight, and still feel much better than two weeks ago (before Indium), and I'm doing more things.
From a retired clergyman:
On Indium I find an improvement in rest so that I awaken a full hour before the alarm, and I am completely rested. A very definite libido improvement.
(The above copyright by George A. H. Bonadio, 2000).
(The Testimonies below are from Indium users in 2003)
(Female age-65)
Last week I used the weed-wacker, and didn't need a nap afterwards ... I am sleeping better . . . not as
exhausted after mowing the lawn, and worked outside longer than usual after mowing. Indium works very gradually and gently. Amazing stuff !!
My daughter and I power-washed and stained both sides of my 6-foot cedar fence . . . using two sprayers
. . . and I didn't get tired. The prep work and clean-up was hard and grueling ... in 110 degree temps.
In the past 7-8 years I have suffered mitral valve palpitations that would last from 2-4 hours . . . leaving me
feeling tired and weak for days. When I was younger the attacks would last only 5 minutes. Well, you can imagine how happy and surprised I was when this attack lasted only 10 minutes. Amazing, it had to be the Indium, as I can't attribute it to anything else. I was so grateful I started praising and thanking God out loud. I got up, had another drink of water, and went back outside to finish the front of the house, watered the flowers, and hosed down the front walk and driveway with no problems since !!! Today I vacuumed four rooms and cleaned the bathroom. I started getting a little tired, which slowly disappeared. Most nights I sleep well, very deep and restful. I have been feeling great ! Really wonderful and energetic. Couldn't really put my finger on it, but I would imagine this is what people feel like when they're on a "high" on drugs. Of course it's better for there's no "coming down."
I cooked a big dinner Saturday, made some homemade coconut ice cream earlier in the week, baked a
birthday cake and had my daughter, her husband, and his 93-year-old grandmother over to celebrate her birthday. I had energy galore, and felt like
I did when I was fixing dinner in my 40's. Never tired all day. What a wonderful feeling !! I don't ever want
to be without Indium.
My son-in-law has a sense of well-being and calmness on the Indium, in a much better mood, and more
relaxed at work. Red-faced, he told me how much the Indium has increased his sex drive, and that he wants his wife to start taking it so she can keep up with him.
About 1-2 years ago I began noticing an ache in my lower back kick in every morning while brushing my
teeth. Just last week I noticed it was only present some mornings, and recently it disappeared completely after a month on Indium. This stuff is sure amazing. Hey, maybe some morning we'll wake up and find ourselves 25 again and all gorgeous and handsome !!!
I did food shopping in the morning, mowed the lawn and hosed down the patio just in the nick of time
before thunder and rain came, showered, fixed dinner and never got tired until bedtime at 11 p.m. I was amazed. You were right when you said it delays the tiredness. I did what I needed to do when I needed to do it.
(Female age-32)
I have been able to get less sleep, and still have a decent energy level. Also my cycle has decreased from
42 days to 31 days.
I have been operating on 4-6 hours of sleep a night, with tremendously busy days and little rest. Have gone
to bed after 1 a.m. the last three nights, and have to get up with my husband at 5 a.m. because the days have been so jam-packed, and very stressful. I need the extra oomph. Could you get another bottle of Indium to me?
(Mother age-39 with a 12-year-old)
My daughter, her friend and friend's mother, and I went camping to New Hampshire for the weekend. If it
wasn't for the Indium, I probably would not make it. The Indium is really great for energy and I am grateful to have it.
(Female, early 40's, overweight, had ovarian cancer, on thyroid drugs for 15 years)
Did I tell you how the Indium is working? I've been taking the Thyodine with it for the Iodine faithfully, and
cutting down on my thyroid meds. After 3 weeks, I'm only on the Indium and Thyodine now. Initially I was getting some shakes, so I did it slowly, and I was able to wean off my thyroid meds in 11 days and I feel terrific. No tiredness or anything. This stuff is fantastic. My husband also seems to have more energy.
(Doctor, female, age-65)
I think the Indium has really perked me up. Ever since my birthday party, when I got up at 5:20 to start
cleaning house preparing for it - and was up until 10:30 with friends, I seem to be forgetting my afternon naps. I can't imagine naturally having more energy just because I turned 65 !! I have tons of energy on Indium. Now I can keep up with my young husband ! Ha ha!
(Female musician age-49)
The Indium is giving me more energy. I had started to get a cold and seemed to shake it off faster. All in
all, I would say better on all fronts! Thanks!
(Female librarian, age-45)
I keep forgetting to use the Indium, only intermittent use for several months. I used to get an annoying eye
tick for as long as I can remember, which started when I least expected it, and would last for hours, sometimes days. I hated it. Ever since I've been taking the Indium, it hasn't happened. If Indium only did that for me. it's spectacular. I'll keep you informed.
(Female, after using 1 bottle of Indium)
I love IndiumEase. Please send me a 12-pack.
(Female with a history of miscarriage)
This lady was pregnant and bleeding heavily. After going on Indium for several weeks, the bleeding
stopped, and she is so happy expecting to go full term birthing a healthy baby. We'll keep you posted.

Tincture: Full dropper 3x daily or as desired (30 drops, 1.5 ml, or 3/8 tsp 3x daily). Hold in the mouth for a minute, and then swallow. This allows more contact with the mucous membranes of the throat and esophagus and increases the amount that is taken into the blood stream.
*Because the pollen, when taken as pill or powder, must travel through the GI tract and its digestive processes, it is much less effective or raising androgen levels than the tincture.
As tonic, nutritive, and adaptogen:
Capsules: 2-3 capsules, 2-3x daily—or the equivalent of powder, in other words: 4.5-9 grams daily (Approx 1.5 to 3 tsp daily).
Are there any potential risks with other herb/drug interactions?
There are no listings in anecdotal reports of Pine Pollen powder or tincture interaction, positive or negative. However because it is a powerful phytoandrogen, those who are already consuming a pharmaceutical testosterone or DHT should avoid intake prior to consulting a medical professional for advice.

Surthrival True 6 Hour Colostrum. Third Party Verified True 6 Hour Colostrum - Mother Nature's Most Complete Superfood.
Colostrum is 3X more effective against Swine Flu than Vaccines!
The following information referenced was originally written by Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith.
SurThrivalists! You already knew Colostrum is the most absorbable, most nutrient dense, and complete food in nature, but did you know that Colostrum is 3X more effective against Swine Flu than vaccines? But remember, not all Colostrum is created equal. In fact, nearly all Colostrum on the market is actually nothing more than "transitional milk". True Colostrum must be harvested within 6 hours from the birth of the calf. Our Colostrum is the only independent 3rd party verified true "6 hour" Colostrum.
The following is the summary of a clinical study on the prevention of Influenza with Colostrum compared against Flu Vaccination:
The efficacy of a 2-month treatment with oral Colostrum in the prevention of flu episodes compared with anti-influenza vaccination was evaluated. Groups included healthy subjects without prophylaxis and those receiving both vaccination and Colostrum. After 3 months of follow-up, the number of days with flu was 3 times higher in the non-Colostrum subjects. The Colostrum group had 13 episodes versus 14 in the Colostrum + vaccination group, 41 in the group without prophylaxis, and 57 in nontreated subjects. Part 2 of the study had a similar protocol with 65 very high-risk cardiovascular subjects, all of whom had prophylaxis. The incidence of complications and hospital admission was higher in the group that received only a vaccination compared with the Colostrum groups. Colostrum, both in healthy subjects and high-risk cardiovascular patients, is at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and is very cost-effective.

More about Colostrum....
Colostrum is the "immune milk" produced by all mammals for only the first few hours before and after birth. Supercharged with 97 immune factors and 87 growth factors, Colostrum is nature's "first food". It's adaptogenic properties enhance rejuvination and regeneration while strengthening the immune system, allowing your body to thrive under any circumstance. With potent anti-aging benefits, and broad spectrum probiotics in their whole food forms - Colostrum delivers youth, health, and vitality! This Colostrum is from organically raised cows and only harvested after the newborn calves get their share. This is true 6 hour Colostrum, verified by a 3rd party.
Colostrum is an amazing material that, like many other things in nature, reflects the evolutionary development of a unique composition that will serve the needs of the offspring for which it is intended. The most unique of the Colostrums from mammalian species occurs in bovines, where transfer of biological substances across the placenta to the developing fetus does not occur and everything required for the development of a healthy, productive offspring is provided in the Colostrum. As such, bovine Colostrum provides a specialized resource that offers the broadest possible spectrum of biologically active substances that can promote the development of a sound body mass, assure effective and efficient metabolism and support the activation and maintenance of a fully functional immune system capable of combating potential insults from microorganisms and other deleterious sources. Bovine Colostrum is also compatible with almost any species and can readily convey its full benefits to humans by routine dietary supplementation without any significant adverse effects.

Clinical Benefits of an Omega 3 Diet
The best diet is one that is rich in fish, preferably small in size, at the bottom of the food chain. This will help prevent contamination from mercury, PCB's and other toxins in medium to large fish.
The minimum daily requirement of Omega-3s as recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ("FAO") is 1.5% of daily caloric needs. For example, if you consume 1,800 kcal per day of food, you should ingest at least 3 grams of Omega-3s. This amount is hard to reach because foods rich in these fats are not very attractive, and not everyone wants or can eat fish every day. If you cannot reach the recommended daily amount of Omega-3s from food, it then becomes crucial to choose an Omega-3 supplement.
According to clinical studies, the fatty acids EPA and DHA provide numerous health benefits. EPA may help to prevent or alleviate diseases resulting from chronic inflammation that lead to heart disease, stroke, arthritis and obesity. DHA is important for the brain, eyes and also the heart and is very important in an infant and child’s development.

Serracor-NK Professional-Strength Systemic Enzyme Blend
Understanding Fibrin
Fibrin is an insoluble protein the body produces in response to bleeding or inflammation. Fibrin performs important functions in the body, including clotting and wound healing. During the blood clotting process, the protein precursor fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, which forms a layer of connective tissue inside the damaged blood vessel. To do this, the fibrin strands assemble into a net-like structure over the damaged vessel and harden, forming a “patch” or small clot to prevent further damage.
Despite its protective function, excessive fibrin can do more harm than good. A high level of circulating fibrin has the potential to accelerate scarring, increase clot formation and impede normal blood flow. This can lead to increased blood viscosity, swelling, edema, pain, chronic inflammation and more serious fibrotic conditions or cardiovascular events.
According to Scripps Research Institute, “It is generally assumed that the persistence of fibrin in the extra cellular matrix (connective tissue) promotes fibrosis, and that the extent of fibrosis is limited by proteases (protein-digesting enzymes) that remove the fibrin. Fibrotic disease occurs when normal control of this process is compromised and excess fibrous material accumulates in the tissues.”
The proteases in Serracor-NK® support normal fibrin levels, blood viscosity, overall blood circulation and healthy inflammation responses.*
Serracor-NK for Circulatory & Inflammation Support
Serracor-NK contains SEBkinase® with enteric coated serrapeptase and nattokinase, as found in the original Neprinol® formula.** We are the original manufacturer of this formula, imitated by many others (to learn more about Serracor-NK vs. Neprinol, please click the "Compare" tab).
SEBkinase brings together two enteric coated, fibrinolytic proteases: Peptizyme-SP® (Serrapeptase) and NattoSEB® (our Nattokinase is Vitamin K-free, since it assists in blood coagulation). Serracor NK further supports the activity of SEBkinase-CV with a complete array of proteolytic enzymes, amylase, lipase, CoQ10, herbs and minerals. The net result is a comprehensive systemic enzyme blend designed to support maximum circulatory health.*
Serracor-NK also promotes healthy levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammation marker and serious risk factor for inflammation and cardiovascular disease.* In addition, the entire systemic enzyme blend is manufactured in a ISO 9001:2000 and GMP certified facilities using our Bioactive Protein Peptide System® (BPPS).
Enteric coated Serrapeptase and Nattokinase: Why is it important?
Most nattokinase and serrapeptase brands on the market are not enteric coated, which means they can lose a significant portion of their fibrinolytic activity and effectiveness in the acidic environment of the stomach. The enteric coating of our Serracor-NK SEBkinase blend allows these sensitive enzymes to survive the acidic conditions of the stomach, thus allowing them to pass into the circulatory system maintaining high activity levels.*
The pH resistant enteric coating will disintegrate after it enters the alkaline environment of the intestines. If your enzyme formula is not enteric coated, you may be wasting your money (to learn more about enteric coating used in AST Enzymes products, please click the"Compare" tab).
How do Fibrinolytic Units (FU's) relate to enteric coating?
Enzyme activity measured in fibrinolytic units does not mean anything if the enzymes are destroyed and/or denatured in the high acidic conditions of the stomach. Under these conditions, our laboratory tests have consistently shown that serrapeptase and nattokinase lose significant activity when exposed to low pH (such as those in the stomach). In contrast, our enteric coated nattokinase and serrapeptase (the original SEBkinase formula) perform at greater activity levels in the same low pH conditions.
Enzyme Stabilization with BPPS®
The Bioactive Protein Peptides System (BPPS) is a system of peptides used to stabilize and enhance the activity of enzymes.
The Bioactive Protein Peptides System was developed by Specialty Enzymes and Biotechnologies (SEB) specifically for enzyme stability. Stabilizers have been used since SEB began manufacturing enzymes in 1957. The BPPS system was a significant advancement developed by SEB in the early 1990's.
It is true it was not trademarked until 2008, but it was in use long before. The reality is: a pure enzyme is not stable. It requires the addition of stabilizers in order to provide a reasonable shelf life. Because we are the actual manufacturer of enzymes with more than 50 years of manufacturing experience, our research and development team constantly works to improve stability and tolerance to the environments in which the enzymes interact. Marketing companies, on the other hand, will generally have significantly less understanding of the physio-chemical and kinetic properties of enzymes.
Serracor-NK Dosage
For best results, begin enzyme regiment at a low dosage of 1 capsule three times a day. After three days, increase your Serracor-NK dosage to 2 capsules three times a day. After the first week, doses should be adjusted to a therapeutic level of 3 or more capsules three times a day (amount is dependent upon desired benefit).
NOTE: It is important to continue therapeutic doses until results are realized. This should then be reduced to a maintenance dose of 1-3 capsules three times a day.
Complementing your Serracor-NK with additional serrapeptase can increase fibrinolytic activity, as well as increase positive effects on blood pressure and inflammation, and reduce mucus viscosity in the respiratory system.* Peptizyme-SP contains 80,000 units of professional-strength serrapeptase per capsule.

AST Enzymes recently learned of false claims, misstatements and misrepresentations by one of our competitors. These claims call into question the business practices of Specialty Enzymes and Biotechnologies and the quality of Serracor-NK.
Specialty Enzymes & Biotechnologies (SEB) is a major international manufacturer of enzymes for more than 20 industries, including the nutraceutical industry. Vic Rathi, president and founder of SEB, formulated the original Neprinol® for Arthur Andrew Medical (AAM), an enzyme marketing company. The proprietary formula remains the intellectual property of SEB; AAM was not privy to the formula.
SEBkinase® is a blend of enteric-coated nattokinase and serrapeptase, which was first introduced in commerce by SEB in 2002. Two years later, in 2004, SEB was contracted to formulate and make finished products, not raw material, for AAM and SEBkinase became an integral part of the original formula of Neprinol until 2008. During the duration of this contract:
SEB received no complaints, verbal or in writing, at any point about the quality and efficacy of Neprinol.
SEB did not provide any Neprinol product to AAM in 2009, so any complaints or refunds made thereafter were not for its products. A major distributor who worked with AAM at the time says they did not receive any complaints nor requests for refunds, and there was no apology issued to customers.
A review of the batches of Neprinol sold during that time shows activity levels were in accordance with AAM’s requests. In addition, the weight of the powder inside the capsules was within the accepted range of label claims and GMP Standards.
Initial production and sale of Serracor-NK was the result of feedback from previous Neprinol customers who contacted SEB as the manufacturer, requesting the original SEBkinase formula.
The quality of SEB products and services are evident in the fact that it has been in business for more than 50 years and continues to experience tremendous growth. In fact, in 2010 SEB expanded its manufacturing facilities, adding a new 25,000 square foot building to meet growing manufacturing demands. Thousands of satisfied customers can attest to the quality and efficacy of our products, and the integrity of our business practices.
Specialty Enzymes and Biotechnologies is an innovator; creating and manufacturing several of the best-selling enzyme supplements on the market today.
Please feel free to call us with questions.
Serracor-NK SEBkinase Formula Remains Unchanged
Specialty Enzymes did not change the formula for SEBkinase or the original formula for Neprinol, which is now available from AST Enzymes as Serracor-NK. Claims that we allegedly lowered the activity of SEBkinase in the original Neprinol formula are untrue. Our SEBkinase blend is unchanged since its introduction. The SEBkinase in Serracor-NK is the same as the SEBkinase in the original formulation of Neprinol. Nothing has changed but the name.
Enteric Coated Serrapeptase and Nattokinase
All enzymes have a pH range. At the extremes of this range, whether acid or alkaline, systemic enzymes will denature (become irreversibly inactive). While it is true that most fungal and plant source systemic enzymes exhibit a fairly broad pH range, some bacterial sourced systemic enzymes are less tolerant of low pH. Because we are the actual manufacturer of our enzymes, we test them for both pH and temperature stability. Based on the results of these kinetic studies, we have repeatedly demonstrated that serrapeptase and nattokinase are much less tolerant of a low pH and will begin to lose activity in acidic conditions consistent with the stomach. Therefore, for maximum effectiveness, serrapeptase and nattokinase are best when enterically coated.
When we design a systemic enzyme blend for human consumption, we have to ensure that it will tolerate the pH variables of our gastrointestinal system. We have successfully done this with our systemic enzyme products, including Peptizyme SP (enteric coated serrapeptase), NattoSEB (enteric coated nattokinase) and SEBKinase (a blend of Peptizyme and NattoSEB). As a result of our experience and expertise, our entire line of enteric-coated enzymes are able to reach the small intestine with higher activity for full systemic enzyme therapy.
Make an Informed Choice
There are several systemic enzyme products on the market today. In this case, there are two alternatives: an enzyme product from an expert manufacturer or one from a marketing company. You deserve the highest quality and most effective enzyme products available. We encourage you to make an informed choice.

*AST Enzymes uses MAAC as enteric coating
What is enteric coating, and why is it needed?
Enteric coating is a layer of protective coating for dietary supplements that is meant to allow the supplement to bypass digestion by the stomach and be absorbed in the small intestine. Systemic enzymes are proteins, so their functional structures are denatured (or destroyed) in conditions of extreme pH and temperature. Without enteric coating, enzymes would be rendered useless long before they reach the bloodstream, where their carry out their beneficial effects.
What’s enteric coating made of?
At AST Enzymes, we use Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) for our enteric coating. Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) is not a phthalate. According to independent studies, MAAC is the most gastro-resistant when compared to other commonly used enteric coating agents such as Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) and Hydroxypropyl Methycellulose Phthalate (HPMCP). This means that MAAC can most effectively withstand the acidity of the stomach, allowing its contents to be released in the small intestine and absorbed successfully.
Don’t let the name scare you. MAAC is a food-grade compound that has been in use as enteric coating in the pharmaceutical industry for over 50 years with no reported side effects. In fact, theEuropean Food Safety Authority – an organization that conducted studies which led to the ban of 6 types of phthalates in personal care products in Europe in 2004 – has deemed MAAC safe for use as coating agent in food supplements.
Not only is MAAC listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also conducted various studies and found sufficient information to reasonably conclude that the current use pattern of MAAC will not adversely affect public health or the environment.

Research
Nattokinase Research: Fibrinoyltic Activity
In vitro and in vivo studies have consistently demonstrated the potent fibrinolytic effect of Nattokinase.1 A review of the research on nattokinase demonstrates it may help avoid or reduce the likelihood of deep vein thrombosis, cardiac infarction, pulmonary emboli and stroke. It appears to accomplish this via its fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and modulating effect on blood pressure. Studies on hypertension demonstrate an average drop of 10.9% in systolic blood pressure and a 9.7 percent drop in diastolic blood pressure.2,3,4
A study conducted with natto on 12 healthy adults (6 men and 6 women, between the ages of 21 and 55) sought to demonstrate fibrinolytic activity. The volunteers were given 200 grams of natto (the food) before breakfast, and their fibrinolytic activity was tested over time. The results indicate natto generates an increased ability to dissolve blood clots. As a control, researchers later fed the same amount of boiled soybeans to the same volunteers and tracked their fibrinolytic activity. The tests showed no significant change.5
The accumulation of fibrin in blood vessels significantly increases the likelihood of thrombosis formation resulting in a cardiovascular event. For thrombolytic therapy, microbial fibrinolytic enzymes are now much more accepted. The physiochemical properties of this enzyme is becoming well characterized and its effectiveness in thrombolysis in vivo has been further identified.6,7
Nattokinase Benefits & Blood Clots
Blood clots (thrombi) form when strands of fibrin accumulate in the circulatory system. These clots can cause blockage of blood flow. If blood flow is blocked, the oxygen supply to that tissue is cut off and it eventually dies. In the heart, this can result in myocardial infarction (heart attack). In the brain, it can result in strokes or mini-strokes. Deep vein thrombosis can result in pulmonary emboli. All these events can be life-threatening. An in vitro study not only demonstrated the powerful fibrinolytic activity of nattokinase, but also showed the significant reduction in the aggregation of red blood cells and overall lowered whole blood viscosity. The net results are vascular conditions that are less likely to produce blood clots. The authors suggest that nattokinase possesses very real potential as a therapeutic agent in cardiovascular health.8
The process of forming a clot is complex and involves several enzymes. However, the body mainly produces one central enzyme for dissolving a clot, plasmin. It happens that the properties of nattokinase are very similar to plasmin. Nattokinase is particularly effective because it enhances the body's natural ability to fight blood clots in several different ways. It dissolves fibrin directly and appears to enhance the body's natural production of both plasmin and other clot-dissolving enzymes like urokinase. An in vivo study was undertaken to demonstrate the thrombolytic activity of nattokinase, plasmin and elastase on an induced clot in the common carotid artery of laboratory rats. A review of the results indicates that the thrombolytic activity of nattokinase is stronger than that of plasmin or elastase in vivo in this model.9
A fascinating study was conducted to measure the effect of nattokinase in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis and superficial vein thrombosis on extended flights of 7-8 hours on high-risk individuals. The nattokinase group had no thromboses. The placebo group had 5 deep vein thromboses and 2 superficial vein thromboses or 7.6% of 94 individuals. After the flight, the degree of edema was increased by 12% in the placebo group and decreased by 15% in the nattokinase group. The authors concluded that nattokinase was effective in reducing thrombotic events and in controlling edema in high-risk subjects on long flights.10
Serrapeptase Benefits and Respiratory Health
When it comes to the respiratory system, we are constantly at risk of developing health problems, anywhere from the common cold to severe lung diseases. While the cause of any given condition may differ, often time symptoms can manifest themselves and be addressed in similar ways. Clinical testing of serrapeptase reviews its potential with many aspects of respiratory health.
Serrapeptase is widely used in clinical practice in Japan. One research trial in Japan investigated the effect of serrapeptase on sputum properties and symptoms in patients with chronic airway diseases. After 4 weeks of serrapeptase treatment, sputum output, viscosity and sputum neutrophil count decreased significantly. In addition, the frequency of coughing and of expectoration also decreased. The researchers concluded serrapeptase may exert a beneficial effect on mucus clearance by reducing neutrophil numbers and altering the viscoelasticity of sputum in patients with chronic airway diseases.11
Another clinical study reviwed the effect of serrapeptase on the elasticity and viscosity of the nasal mucus in adult patients with chronic sinusitis. Serrapeptase was administered orally for 4 weeks. The dynamic viscosity of the mucus at week 4 was significantly lower than that at week 0. The authors conclude that serrapeptase may have some application in patients with chronic sinusitis.12
The efficacy of serrapeptase was evaluated in a multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 193 subjects suffering from acute or chronic ear, nose or throat disorders. After 3-4 days' treatment, significant symptom regression was observed in serrapeptase treated patients. Statistical comparison confirmed the greater efficacy of serrapeptase against all the symptoms examined. It was concluded that serrapeptase has anti-edemic and fibrinolytic activity and supports the body’s healthy response to inflammation.13
Enzyme Activity:
Enzymes & Herbs
How it Works
NATTOKINASE
Derived from natto, a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. Natto has been known for centuries for its positive medicinal properties, particularly for cardiovascular disorders. To make nattō, soybeans are fermented with the beneficial bacteria Bacillus natto (sometimes listed as Bacillus subtilis natto). During fermentation, the Bacilli produce enzymatic proteases, the most important of which is nattokinase. Like other proteases, nattokinase has potent anti-inflammatory activity, as well as several other beneficial properties, including fibrinolytic activity.* A researcher, Hiroyuki Sumi, identified the active enzyme in natto and demonstrated its ability to dissolve vascular blood clots. He called this enzyme “nattokinase,” meaning “enzyme in natto.”
SERRAPEPTASE
Derived from a species of bacteria originally found in the intestine of silkworms; the bacteria, Serratia mercesans, produces the enzyme that enables the silkworm to dissolve its silken cocoon and emerge after metamorphosis. Serratia is now grown in cultures to produce serrapeptase by fermentation. Numerous research and clinical studies demonstrate serrapeptase’s formidable anti-inflammatory, proteolytic (protein dissolving), mucolytic (mucus dissolving) and fibrinolytic (fibrin dissolving) properties. They also show that scar tissue is greatly reduced and proteins involved in the inflammatory process are effectively digested. Serrapeptase is a protease that has been used in Japan and Europe for over four decades for its anti-inflammatory activity.*
Bromelain
A collective name for the proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes found in the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus); known for its digestive as well its anti-inflammatory properties. A good substitute for animal-derived enzymes pepsin and trypsin for both digestive and systemic support due to its activity across a wide pH range*
Papain
Obtained from the latex of the fruit of the Papaya tree (Carica papaya); used for centuries as an effective digestive aid.
Lipase
Catalyzes the break-down of fats into essential fatty acids that are needed for healthy tissues and cells*
Proteases
Hydrolyze (break-down) proteins like meat, casein, gelatin, soy, fish and other plant and animal proteins to smaller chains of polypeptides (small proteins) and amino acids for easier uptake throughout the body.
Rutin
Bioflavonoid; strengthens and tones arteries and veins, and provides antioxidant support against free-radicals and inflammation*
Amla
Also known as Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis); it is a natural, efficacious antioxidant and is one of the richest sources of absorbable vitamin C.

FAQ
What is systemic enzyme therapy?
Systemic enzyme therapy refers to the therapeutic use of natural enzymes to produce desired healing effects. Systemic enzymes are absorbed from the small intestine where they enter the bloodstream and execute their effects on the entire body as a system. Their crucial role in normal inflammatory response assists and supports the body in accelerating healing.
What is a systemic proteolytic enzyme?
Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins into their building-blocks, which are called amino acids. Systemic proteolytic enzymes are responsible for breaking down accumulated protein and waste substances found in the circulatory system and connective tissue. Waste materials produced from inflammation and other biochemical processes can build up, contributing to excessive scarring and perpetuated immune responses. Excessive scarring, particularly of the organs, can exacerbate symptoms of the associated disease. The waste product of specific concern is known as fibrin. Regular systemic proteolytic enzyme use can improve circulation and aid in flushing out these waste products.
What is fibrin?
Fibrin is a protein-based substance that is needed to help clot one’s blood, playing a substantial role in immune response and healing. When the body responds to injury or chronic inflammation, fibrin is recruited to the damaged area to form scar tissue. Although the body is equipped with plasmin, a naturally occurring enzyme responsible for breaking down excess fibrin, some people are at a disadvantage – as aging occurs, plasmin levels progressively decrease. This actually increases the risk for excessive, undesirable scar tissue formation in the body.
Are systemic enzymes anti-inflammatory drugs?
Although systemic enzymes produce anti-inflammatory effects, they are not considered a drug. Since enzymes are naturally occurring within the body, systemic enzyme therapy is considered supplementation. One difference between systemic enzymes and NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) involves the duration of action. While NSAIDs produce short-term pain relief, systemic enzymes can produce long-term alleviation with appropriate use. The largest difference between NSAIDS and systemic enzymes is the mechanism of action and possible side effects. NSAIDs block the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation and swelling. However, prostaglandins protect the lining of the stomach, and prolonged use of NSAIDs can reduce this protection and increase the risk of developing ulcers. Conversely, regular use of systemic enzymes has no negative side effects and can actually provide protective effects against excess inflammation.
Why is it important to take Serracor-NK on an empty stomach?
Since most absorption occurs in the small intestine, the systemic enzymes must bypass the stomach to gain access there. If the enzymes are taken with food, they will likely begin working to break down your food within the stomach, rather than passing through to the small intestine. Taking systemic enzymes like Serracor-NK with food will compromise their absorption, as well as their effectiveness.
Does Serracor-NK have an enteric coating?
Yes, the serrapeptase and nattokinase in Serracor-NK are enterically coated. While similar systemic enzymes may have the same active ingredients, most do not utilize enteric coating. The purpose of enteric coating is to protect the enzyme from the acidic environment of the stomach. High activity level is preserved until the enzymes reach the small intestine, where absorption into the bloodstream takes place. While the enteric coating can withstand the acidic environment of the stomach, the alkaline environment of the small intestine will disintegrate the enteric coating, allowing the enzyme to become active within the bloodstream.
Do you use phthalates in your enteric coating?
No, our enteric coating does not use or contain phthalates. At AST Enzymes, we use Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) for our enteric coating. Compared to other commonly used enteric coating agents such as Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) and Hydroxypropyl Methycellulose Phthalate (HPMCP), MAAC is the most gastro-resistant and does not carry the same risks. Additionally, MAAC is considered GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the FDA and is approved for use by the European Food Safety Authority.To learn more about enteric coating used in AST Enzymes products, please click the "Compare" tab.
How long should I take Serracor-NK before feeling results?
Since people experience varying ailments and severity of disease, the length of time to include systemic enzymes in your regimen may vary as well. As an overall guideline, it is typically recommended that new systemic enzyme users start off slow. A starter dose is generally one capsule, three times daily. After three to four days of proven tolerance, the dose can be increased to a therapeutic dose of 3 capsules, 3 times per day. At this point, results may be monitored, and dosage should be adjusted accordingly. Some consumers find their therapeutic dose between 9-12 capsules per day, while others only need 3-6. There are several factors that may affect results and required dosage, including:
Height
Weight
Age
Severity of symptoms
Tolerance
Time of administration (Better absorbed on an empty stomach)
Adherence to regimen
Nutritional state
What if I miss a dose?
Regular, consistent use of systemic enzymes will provide the best results, however missed doses of systemic enzymes do not have serious repercussions. Although symptoms alleviated by systemic enzyme therapy may resurface, getting back on track by remembering to take your next dose will suffice. There is also the option of incorporating another dose during the day. There is no need to “double up,” on one dose - and remember, systemic enzymes are best absorbed on an empty stomach.
Does Serracor-NK have any side effects?
The use of Serracor-NK has not been shown to exhibit detrimental effects, neither long term nor short term. Just as dosage requirements vary, side effects may vary as well. Although gastrointestinal disturbances have been reported by a small percentage of new users, tolerance is maintained once the dosage is adjusted. Minor allergic reactions, like reddening of the skin, are also rare occurrences, and can be seen with extremely high doses. There are no known interactions with prescription or over the counter drugs while using systemic enzyme therapy. However, it is recommended that you consult with your physician about starting systemic enzymes, especially if you are currently on blood-thinning medications or if you are pregnant or nursing.
Can I take Serracor-NK with other systemic enzymes?
Systemic enzymes may be taken together, yielding desirable results, as long as they are taken on an empty stomach. In fact, it is often recommended that systemic enzymes be combined. Products like Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP often have synergistic effects when taken together. This means that the separate products work together to produce advantageous results. By combining and enhancing the activity of the enzymes, their effects on the healing process are more attainable.
Can I take Serracor-NK with digestive enzymes?
Although digestive and systemic enzymes are not contraindicated in terms of ingredients, they cannot be taken at the same time. The purpose of digestive enzymes is to aid in digestion of specific foods, so taking them with food is an obvious recommendation. Because systemic enzymes require an empty stomach for maximum absorption, they must be taken separately from digestive enzymes. There are no adverse interactions between systemic and digestive enzymes, but they serve different purposes and thus should be taken as directed for best results.

Enhances GABA receptor activity
Like CBD, Hops utilises the body’s own endocannabinoid system
In this fast paced modern climate of over-stimulation, it has become commonplace for people to experience overwhelm, burnout, anxiety and panic attacks. Poor sleep quality also adds to this conundrum and exacerbates the hyper-vigilance of the central nervous system. Many of the pharmaceutical ’solutions’ prescribed for these conditions bring with them a collection of unwanted, negative side effects, making the management of these conditions complicated at best. Yet there are simple, natural solutions to these issues that have been used with enormous success for many centuries. The Hop plant (Humulus lupulus) is one such solution.
Nowadays most people know about Hops due to its widespread use in the brewing industry and the fermentation of beer and ale. Hops however, has been an incredibly important natural medicine utilised by the healing traditions of Europe and Asia throughout the last two thousand years. Historically it was prescribed in cases of insomnia, stress and anxiety, due to being such an effective sedative to the central nervous system.
Today we know that Hops contains resinous compounds such as lupulin, which stimulate production of a neurotransmitter in the body known as GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA is the primary neurotransmitter that inhibits the function of the central nervous system, resulting in deeper sleep, rest and relaxation. This makes Hops an excellent medicine in the treatment of anxiety, stress and insomnia. Both alpha and beta-acids in the plant known as humulones and lupulones respectively (bitter compounds) have shown to exhibit antidepressant effects in in vivo studies that have been conducted.
Throughout the middle ages Hops was never used in the fermentation of ale. The popular drink at the time was known as ‘gruit’ which was a collection of fermented herbal formulas that were highly stimulating, energising and used as performance enhancing beverages by Nordic berserkers prior to battle. The 'German Beer Purity Act of 1516' put a swift end to gruit production - it was essentially the first ever drug regulation to be legislated, stating that all ale production must now be based upon a Hops formula. The reason for this was a political one - as beer was already consumed in large quantities by almost everyone, it was an effective method of quickly sedating entire populations and rendering them less able to revolt and oppose the establishment. That law is clearly still in practice to this day.
It is also true that when it is consumed in consistently large quantities, Hops can stimulate the production of female steroid hormones such as estradiol. Hops was never consumed in this way prior to the German Beer Purity Act of the 16th century, yet to this day we see men over-consuming hop-centred beer, with the accompanying low levels of testosterone and side effects like erectile dysfunction etc. Strategic, medicinal use of Hops at the right dosage does not cause these effects at all.
Hops is a member of the Cannabaceae family of plants, which includes Cannabis and Hemp. In fact, Hops and Cannabis share 73% of identical genetic material. This means that there is a very significant overlap between the two species, in particular certain groups of enzymes as well as the cannabidiolic acid synthase gene, which is the reason that the CBD molecule is so effective medicinally. For this very reason, Hops can express its therapeutic activity through the body’s own endocannabinoid system - a vast network of cell-receptors that regulate biological functions such as immune function, appetite, pain management, mood, emotion and memory.
Fera Lupulus is a potent single extract of wild Hops - a genetically strong and diverse species that is infinitely more medicinal than the estrogen-dominant strains used in modern beer fermentation. Small doses of this potent extract can help ensure deeper and more restful sleep, reducing anxietyas well as modulating the stress response and circadian rhythm. This extract is seasonal and available in a VERY LIMITED QUANTITY.

Nearly all supplements on the market today contain Stearates; manufacturing agents used as lubricants to speed up production. Most capsules and tablets are made by mass production plants, which turn out a multitude of formulas for various companies. Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid and Silicon Dioxide are lubricants and fillers added to raw material in supplements so that production machinery will run at maximum speeds.
These additives have a number of effects, including decreased absorption in addition to creating potentially allergenic reactions. In a study published in Pharmaceutical Technology (April, 1985), the percent dissolution of capsules after 20 minutes in solution went from 90% without Stearates to 25% with Stearates. These substances clearly affect the dissolution and rapid absorption of nutrients.Endurance

Nyishar
Nyishar – Lion's Mane Sovereign - 30ml
£60.00
Lion's Mane Sovereign Dual-Extract:
Nerve regeneration/heals nerve damage- Rebuilds myelin- Immune enhancement- Gastro-protective- Antimicrobial/Anti-Candida- Supports healing from injury- Improves long & short term memory- Natural medicine for Alzheimers and senility
Nyishar Lion's Mane Sovereign Dual-Extract is concentrated at a 1:2 ratio, meaning that one part mushroom has been macerated in two parts liquid solvent, making this an incredibly potent extract. It is a complete extract utilising both parts of the fungus: both the organic fruiting body and liquid fermented mycelium undergo hydro-ethanolic extractions separately.
In total four extracts are produced, ethanol extractions of both fruiting body and mycelium, and pressurised hot water extracts of fruiting body and mycelium. Each of these extracts are triple-filtered and combined to produce a complete medicine which incorporates all aspects of this important species.
The fruiting body is organically cultivated on mature wooden logs harvested from a biodiverse forest ecosystem, in a controlled environment to ensure maximum purity and medicinal potency of the mushroom. The mycelium is not grown on a solid substrate and therefore contains no grains, fillers, excipients or residue whatsoever. It is liquid fermented to produce a pure mycelium that is rich in the properties this species has become well known for, most notably the terpene-bound polyphenols that promote nerve-growth-factor.
Dual-extracting both parts of this fungus ensure that it also possesses the properties it has been celebrated for in traditional Chinese medicine, such as the gastro-protective, antimicrobial and immune-supporting qualities.
Most Lion's Mane supplements on the market are made from the fruiting body only, and the majority of those are hot water extracts and don't involve an ethanolic process. Dual-extracting both parts of this fungus (fruiting body & mycelium) is essential if we are to harness its full potential as a neuro-regenerative medicine. Also, hot water extracting in a sealed, pressurised environment is necessary if we are to collect and preserve the integrity of many important compounds responsible for these benefits.
