Neprinol AFD 300caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (Systemic Enzyme Formula)
£125.00
Neprinol is a revolutionary blend of systemic enzymes and antioxidants specially formulated to support healthy circulatory and immune function.*
Neprinol's vegetarian enzyme blend tested to be more than 500% more fibrinolytic than the leading animal-based enzyme formulation.† Neprinol's blend of systemic enzymes are similar to digestive enzymes, but are primarily used throughout the bloodstream rather than the gastrointestinal tract. Neprinol supports healthy levels of Endogenous Blood Particles or EBP’s.* EBP’s can be decayed cells, fibrin, fatty proteins, and other unwanted materials that normally accumulate in the blood.* Systemic enzymes like those in Neprinol support the body’s natural purification of these EBP’s, as well as maintaining healthy liver function and healthy inflammatory levels. Sustaining a healthy level of EBP’s is also beneficial for maintaining optimal immune and circulatory function.* Efficacy is of utmost importance to doctors and patients alike and Neprinol addresses this concern with a proven potency that can be utilized by healthcare professionals. Neprinol’s enzymes are remarkably different from typical animal derived systemic enzymes, which are sometimes derived from pork and cow sources. The enzymes in Neprinol are a combination of vegetarian and selectively potent microbial strains. Although these ingredients are extremely potent, they are well tolerated in the body. Neprinol can be recommended for both clinical use and therapeutic applications.
Recent medical breakthroughs, including clinical research performed on Neprinol, have led to the application of systemic enzymes to support the digestion of debris from the cardiovascular system.* This provides for a reduced level of EBP’s, which can support healthy inflammatory responses and their relation to joint discomfort and stiffness.* Healthy, reduced-EBP blood sustains relatively normal blood clotting factors as well. Enzymes support a healthy immune system and may support the repair damaged tissues, and even more remarkably, they require smaller doses over time to maintain their efficacy.*
Systemic enzyme products have been and continue to be under-utilized dietary aids, despite the fact that their use dates back further than most supplements. As we age, the need for enzymes increases significantly. Enzymes are essential to maintain a strong immune system, healthy joints, good circulation and overall balanced reaction to injury.* All of the enzyme components in Neprinol are derived from all-vegetarian sources, which by nature are biochemically more effective than those produced by the human body.* Supplementing with Neprinol, can replace these lost and valuable enzymes. Combined with proper diet and exercise they may drastically reduce vulnerability to a wide range of health concerns.*

Fibrin Defense
Fibrin is a protein formed in the human body responsible for scar tissue and thrombus formation. Neprinol contains a blend of fibrinolytic (fibrin degrading) enzymes that specifically address fibrin levels in the body. Our bodies normally secrete sufficient levels of plasmin, an important enzyme present in the blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins and blood clots. Plasmin, our own natural blood thinner, is responsible for maintaining normal blood solvency by removing unnecessary accumulated protein. The normal process of removing excessive fibrin can be enhanced by introducing fibrinolytic enzymes like those found in Neprinol.
Fibrinogen Over-Production
Hyper-coagulation & Fibrin Defense
Enzymes can be thought of as proteins on a mission. And when it comes to improving your health, one of the most potent targets an enzyme can seek and destroy is a fibrous protein called fibrin. Neprinol contains a powerful combination of fibrin-dissolving enzymes like serrapeptase, nattokinase and bromelain, as well as other natural ingredients. That is why it is known as Neprinol AFD – Advanced Fibrin Defense®. But to understand why the body needs help defending itself against fibrin you first need to understand a bit more about the protein itself.
Fibrin
Fibrin is an insoluble protein that plays a major role in the formation of blood clots and scar tissue. During the blood clotting process, the soluble protein fibrinogen converts into insoluble fibrin, which is then laid down inside the damaged blood vessel. The fibrin strands then assemble into a net-like gel that hardens and captures all of the materials necessary to patch the damaged vessel. This is the structural framework of a blood clot. Obviously, fibrin plays a vital role in the healing process; however, when there is fibrin overproduction, it can lead to the formation of dangerous and unnecessary blood clots in the body [1]. One factor that can lead to excessive fibrin is ageing.
As we age, the concentration of fibrinogen increases in our blood [2]. High levels of fibrinogen increases fibrin production, and as fibrin begins to accumulate in the blood vessels it generally leads to the formation of blood clots [3]. Healthy individuals usually have sufficient levels of plasmin, an enzyme that breaks up fibrin blood clots. Unfortunately plasmin production slows down as we get older so the normal process of removing excess fibrin is reduced. The result of this can be cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other related disorders [4-8].
Neprinol
Research has shown that protein-dissolving enzymes like those found in Neprinol can slow the production of fibrin and enhance its removal from the body [1]. Neprinol's blend of enzymes generally tests well above 50,000 FU per gram, which means that 50,000 units of fibrin are broken down by each gram of Neprinol powder. Of the enzymes contained in this formula perhaps the most significant is nattokinase, which has been shown to be four times more powerful than our body's own plasmin at breaking down blood clots [9].
Nattokinase
Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from natto, a fermented soybean 'cheese' that is popular in Japan [10]. The ability of nattokinase to breakdown fibrin has been tested in more than 12 studies [11], and nattokinase has been shown to be the most potent fibrin-degrading enzyme out of more than 200 foods tested [3].
Researchers have found that nattokinase works much in the same way as plasmin [3], which means thatnattokinase literally dissolves fibrin, whether it is holding together blood clots or is part of scar tissue [12]. However, nattokinase also blocks the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which boosts its fibrin-destroying capabilities even more [9,13].
Plasminogen is made into plasmin, the body's fibrin-dissolving enzyme. However, the conversion process is inactivated by PAI-1. This is why high levels of PAI-1 reduce fibrin breakdown and removal [14]. Nattokinase increases fibrin breakdown by blocking PAI-1 so that more plasmin is produced.
Because of this nattokinase is not only able to stop dangerous blood clots from developing but also helps dissolve any clots that have already formed. As a result, oral nattokinase supplements are recommended for preventing cardiovascular disease [15]. Nattokinase has also been shown to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in high-risk patients in combination with pycnogenol[16].
Bromelain
Bromelain is an extract from pineapple that contains a number of fibrin-degrading enzymes [17,18], as well as enzymes that enhance this fibrin-dissolving action [19]. Bromelain was shown to increase the conversion of plasminogen into plasmin [20-22]. It has also been shown to prevent the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin [17]. However, unlike nattokinase, bromelain is not able to dissolve fibrin clumps that have already formed [17].
Because a high percentage of ingested bromelain is absorbed intact into the bloodstream, protein- and fibrin-degrading activity in the blood can be increased for hours after taking it [23]. Two large-scale trials in patients with heart problems showed that bromelain could almost completely eliminate thrombosis [24].
Serrapeptase
Serrapeptase is another important component of Neprinol's advanced fibrin defense. Serrapeptase is a protein-degrading enzyme isolated from the silk worm [25]. It has significant anti-inflammatory and fibrin-removal activity [26], which makes it ideal for preventing blood clot formation associated with cardiovascular disease.
Other Diseases Linked to Fibrin
The buildup of excess fibrin in the body can cause more health problems than just blood clots. Fibrin has also been linked to a number of chronic and progressive diseases like multiple sclerosis [27,28] and asthma [29]. As a result, Neprinol's fibrin-degrading enzymes could prove to be a good treatment option [1,30].
Breaking down fibrin using enzymes may also help a number of conditions that are difficult to treat, such as Peyronie’s disease, Dupuytren’s contracture and Ledderhose’s disease. All of these conditions are characterized by a loss of tissue elasticity, which leads to tissue tearing, then bleeding, clot formation and fibrin deposition. Over time, taking fibrin-degrading enzymes may reduce the amount of scar tissue built up in locations where there has been repeated damage and bleeding [1].
Finally, using enzymes to dissolve fibrin may also play a role in cancer prevention and treatment. Cancer cells often are surrounded by a fibrin coating [31]. Researchers think that the fibrin may provide a type of camouflage for these abnormal cells, allowing them to escape being destroyed by the immune system. It is possible that by removing this fibrin coating, the body could detect cancer cells and destroy them before they are able to gain a foothold in the body.
Advanced Fibrin Defense
As you can see, excess fibrin can wreak havoc on our bodies, especially as we get older and our natural production of enzymes decreases. However, Neprinol provides a combination of superior fibrin-active enzymes designed to keep fibrin levels in check. Neprinol is an excellent choice for anyone suffering from, or hoping to prevent, the harmful effects of excess fibrin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Neprinol?
Neprinol is a proprietary combination of Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, Protease, Lipase, Bromelain, Papain, Rutin, Amla and other proteolytic enzymes that are specially formulated to assist your body's defense of the damaging effects of fibrin. Neprinol has been used to strengthen the immune and circulatory systems, maintain a healthy inflammatory response and to support the body's natural recovery process.*
What are Enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins (or protein-based molecules) that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. Every enzyme has a specific reactant known as a substrate, which can be thought of like a lock and a key. Only a specific enzyme (or key) will react (or unlock) its substrate. This is the reason why enzymes are unable to break down necessary and vital tissue, as they only react with certain harmful proteins in the body.
What are "Systemic Enzymes"?
When enzymes are introduced into the bloodstream, they work “systemically”, or throughout the entire body. Taking enzymes on an empty stomach allows them to work systemically since they will bypass the upper digestive process and enter the bloodstream through the intestine. Systemic enzymes are similar to digestive enzymes, though certain enzymes are better designed for systemic activity as opposed to digestion due to the materials they react with, such as Serrapeptase and Nattokinase. These two enzymes are very efficient with the breakdown of a particular substance known as Fibrin.
What is Fibrin?
Fibrin is a protein substance naturally formed in the human body that plays a significant role in our health and general well-being. Fibrin is responsible for scar tissue formation, and is produced as a reaction to injury. Our bodies naturally maintain healthy fibrin levels with enzymes (principally plasmin) whose role is to attack and break down any excessive fibrin. As fibrin builds up in the body, it can cause many unhealthy conditions.
Why Neprinol?
As we age, our natural enzyme production decreases while the need for these enzymes is of increasing importance. Supplementing these valuable enzymes can combat enzyme deficiencies that can lead to a wide variety of health concerns. Healthy levels of these enzymes can assist the body in maintaining a healthy immune system, healthy joints, proper circulation and an overall balanced reaction to injury.
How Does Neprinol Work?
By supplementing and replenishing the body's diminishing enzymes, Neprinol provides one of our most essential and basic biochemical needs. It supplements the body's natural fibrinolytic enzyme levels thereby helping to maintain healthy fibrin levels: an underlying causative agent for many unhealthy conditions in the body.*
Is Neprinol Enteric Coated?
Enteric coatings are designed to protect enzymes and other supplements from stomach acid. Plastic-like chemicals known as phthalates are often used in this coating process. Phthalates are actually banned in children's toys in Europe and Mexico, so why would we ever include these in our formulas? Arthur Andrew Medical has instead developed an all-natural, chemical-free Acid Armor capsule. These capsules are comprised of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (vegetable capsules) with a micro threaded locking mechanism to prevent leaking. Acid Armor capsules have been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
Is Neprinol Safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking systemic enzymes such as Neprinol*. Clinical studies have shown that even extremely large doses of these enzymes are not toxic. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult with your physician before taking Neprinol.

Nattovena 180caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (Nattokinase supplement)
£50.00
Nattovena is the world’s first ultra-concentrated 4,000 FU pure nattokinase dietary supplement, in easy-to-swallow micro-caps. Nattovena contains ultra-refined, pharmaceutical grade, acid stable nattokinase.
Nattovena's potency is unparalleled in its class. The standard for nattokinase manufacturing is a potency of up to 2,000 FU’s, or fibrinolytic units, of fibrin degrading activity per capsule. Nattovéna has broken the mold by providing 4,000 FU’s of activity, or double the ordinary dose, offering the strongest nattokinase activity per capsule, period.
Nattovena is specifically formulated to address fibrin imbalances in the body. Fibrin is a protein that plays a major role in blood clotting and scar formation, making it an essential component of the healing process and vital for maintaining our health and general well-being. However, fibrin overproduction and impaired fibrin degradation has been implicated in many of today’s most common circulatory health concerns.
What is Nattokinase?
Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic (fibrin-dissolving) enzyme originally discovered within a Japanese fermented soybean food called natto. The dish consists of soybeans fermented with a strain of Bacillus subtilis bacteria that in turn produce the enzyme, which upon its discovery was later named after the respective dish. The fermented dish, natto, has a slimy texture, sour taste and strong smell that is very unappealing to some. Despite its questionable taste, natto has been shown in numerous studies to have many health benefits. For its use in nutritional supplements, the nattokinase enzyme is extracted and purified in a laboratory setting.
Nattovena provides twice the potency of ordinary nattokinase products available and is naturally acid stable in the stomach since it is derived from a food source. This gives Nattovena the added benefit of not having to use an enteric coating or plastic to protect it from stomach acid. Nattovena’s formula contains the highest Fibrinolytic Unit (FU) activity among the major brands of nattokinase supplements, allowing it to hydrolyze 4,000 units of fibrin per capsule, thereby optimizing its cardiovascular benefits and promoting normal blood viscosity.
How Does Nattokinase Work?
Fibrin is naturally produced in the body by a protein called thrombin and is degraded by the body's own fibrinolytic enzyme, plasmin. Fibrin is typically produced during the recovery and healing processes caused by injury or other health concerns. Usually, these processes exist in a delicate balance; however, many conditions can impair fibrin degradation and lead to excessive levels of fibrin within the body. Nattokinase supplementation can tip the balance back in favor of fibrin removal using two different mechanisms.
Firstly, nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme, which means that it can literally dissolve excessive fibrin produced during the healing process. In fact, studies show that nattokinase is actually four times (4x) more potent than the body’s own plasmin in terms of fibrinolytic activity1. Secondly, nattokinase blocks the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which boosts its fibrinolytic capabilities even more. High levels of PAI-1 are directly linked to impaired fibrin degradation and removal, since PAI-1 blocks the body’s natural production of plasmin. By impeding PAI-1, nattokinase promotes the creation of more plasmin from plasminogen (its building block), increasing the amount of natural fibrinolytic enzymes created within the body2.
Suggested Use
Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times daily on an empty stomach. Higher doses may be taken as needed, but it is recommended to not exceed 15 capsules in any 24-hour period unless otherwise directed by a healthcare practitioner.
WARNING: Do not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking blood thinning medications or if you are pregnant or nursing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Nattovena do?
Studies have demonstrated that nattokinase improves overall circulation, promotes healthy blood viscosity, promotes healthy clotting factors, keeps blood cells from sticking together, and maintains blood pressure levels already within normal range.*
How does it work?
Nattovena supports normal clot formation by maintaining normal levels of blood coagulation factors.* It also supports normal clot breakdown by maintaining normal fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) activity, due to its ability to also increase the production of the body's inherent fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin.*
Why is fibrinolytic activity important?
Fibrin is a vital protein that forms in response to trauma, injury, or even in cases of autoimmune conditions. The body can not only overproduce fibrin in these instances, but can also produce fibrin when there is no trauma or injury, which can lead to a bevy of unwanted symptoms. Fibrinolytic activity is the body’s natural way of breaking up excessive fibrin and unwanted clots.
Is Nattovena safe?
Nattokinase is derived from natto, which has been a regular food staple within Asian cuisine for centuries. Although nattokinase has many benefits, studies have shown that it also does not have demonstrative side effects, and the ingredient is considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) within the US.
Does Nattovena have value beyond just heart health?
Due to the vast array of unhealthy conditions that excessive fibrin can bring, Nattovena has far greater value than a simple cardiovascular support product. Many aspects of health, from muscle recovery, to immune and joint health are directly related to fibrin and blood viscosity.*
Is Nattovena safe to use in combination with prescription blood-thinning drug medication?
You should always check with your health care provider prior to taking any new dietary supplements in combination with a prescription. However, Nattovena does not contain any vitamin K, so it is assumed to be compatible with these medications since their mode of action is based on inhibiting vitamin K. Nattovena is not contraindicated with aspirin, natural supplements, or antihypertensive medications although medical supervision when implementing any new supplement regimen is always recommended.

Floraphage, 90 Capsules (Arthur Andrew Medical) (Prebiotic / probiotic supplement)
£45.00
Maximize the strength of any probiotic with the worlds's first supplemented prebiotic “PHAGE."
Phage or Bacteriophages are microscopic proteins that target and devour certain harmful bacteria.* When Floraphage dismantles bad bacteria within the gut, nutrients are released turning bad bacteria in the upper GI tract into high-quality food for good bacteria. Based on lab testing with several popular probiotic supplements, this remarkable prebiotic was able to increase the growth rate of supplemented probiotics by 24x compared to control.* Avoid uncomfortable symptoms such as gas and bloating that come along with standard prebiotics and improve the performance of any probiotic formula.*
Floraphage for Digestive Health
The human digestive tract contains trillions of microorganisms that constantly compete for space and nutrients. This system can be highly susceptible to attacks from harmful bacteria, which can result in digestive discomfort and a weakened immune system. It is therefore important for beneficial bacteria to outperform these harmful bacteria so that proper intestinal balance and overall good health can be achieved. Unfortunately the opposite can sometimes occur, in which aggressive strains of harmful bacteria outgrow and consume more resources than the beneficial bacteria. This phenomenon can be associated with poor health, abdominal discomfort, and bacterial infections. To combat these intestinal imbalances and their damaging effects, Floraphage has been developed to support the restoration and maintenance of the highly sensitive digestive ecosystem.
Why Floraphage?
Floraphage was designed to support the proliferation of beneficial bacteria throughout the gastrointestinal tract in order to promote optimal digestive and immune health. Floraphage was tested in conjunction with four popular probiotic supplements to determine its ability to increase the growth rate for each respective product. The graph on the right demonstrates the average increase in CFU activity, the measurement of probiotic bacteria growth, for the four products was 2400%, versus control (growth without the use of Floraphage). Floraphage is an excellent product to take in conjunction with a probiotic to maximize the benefits of supplemented beneficial bacteria. It is also helpful for those that do not take probiotics in order to maximize indigenous bacteria growth.
What is Floraphage?
Floraphage is a bacteriophage (or phage), which is a microscopic protein that can target and destroy one particular type of bacteria. Floraphage is selectively-antimicrobial, specifically attaching to only harmful bacteria. Once a phage has attached itself, these “bad” bacteria essentially burst open, releasing more phage and nutrients, known as prebiotics, for our good bacteria to feed on. Floraphage can only attach itself to harmful bacteria, and can never enter or harm good bacteria or human cells.
Phages are everywhere, in our food, in the water we drink, on and in our bodies, and pretty much anywhere else imaginable. They are actually the most abundant naturally occurring organisms on earth. Phages have been safely used for over 90 years in the food supply and as a therapy for antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Floraphage is the first dietary supplement formula to utilize these amazing microscopic proteins.
How Does Floraphage Work?
Floraphage specifically targets bad bacteria and destroys their cell wall, releasing nutrients that provide good bacteria with the food and space that are needed for substantial growth in the digestive tract. In doing so, Floraphage reverses the growth pattern of certain bad bacteria and allows good bacteria to proliferate in their place.
Since Floraphage forces the release of nutrients from bad bacteria, it inherently acts as a two-phase super-prebiotic. During the first phase, Floraphage selectively attacks certain bacteria, creating space along the intestinal wall. The second phase occurs organically when these bacteria burst open and release prebiotic nutrients. Prebiotics help beneficial bacteria grow faster than harmful bacteria. More specifically, prebiotics are natural sources of nutrients that provide benefit by stimulating the growth and activity of good bacteria in the digestive tract. Prebiotic supplements have historically been made up of some type of fiber or sugar, which have been known to lead to gas and bloating. Floraphage is not comprised of fiber or sugars, so the potential for digestive distress is eliminated while providing its super-prebiotic benefits.
How Safe is Floraphage?
Floraphage represents a tiny fraction of the total phages contained in the body, as the gut is a natural habitat for bacteria and phages. Floraphage does not contain genetic elements that are harmful to humans. Furthermore, Floraphage is not constructed in a manner that would enable it to negatively impact any beneficial bacteria. Therefore, Floraphage presents no harm to the natural microbial flora of the intestine. In addition, Floraphage has GRAS status with the FDA.
Benefits of Floraphage Include:
Increase the potency of any probiotic
Does not cause digestive discomfort
Selective anti-microbial properties
Can be taken alone or in combination with a probiotic
Does not contain GMOs

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Serretia?
Serretia is comprised of 99.99% pure Serratiopeptidase, more commonly known as Serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme originally discovered in the intestine of silkworms, and is produced by Arthur Andrew Medical through the isolation of the microorganism Serratia E-15. In Japan, Serrapeptase is commonly prescribed as a drug, but here in the US we can experience serrapeptase and all of its wonderful benefits without a prescription.*
How Does Serretia Work?
Taken on an empty stomach, Serrapeptase, a fibrinolytic (fibrin digesting) enzyme, enters the bloodstream via the small intestine. Serrapeptase supports normal fibrin production within the body; its inherent ability to digest waste particles enables the enzyme to support normal recovery times and support healthy circulation.*
Why Should I Take Serretia?
Serrapeptase has a variety of benefits, and has been found to successfully aid in the breakdown of scar tissue, cysts, blood clots, and plaque. Serrétia may help to improve recovery after sports injuries or surgery, muscle tears and pulls, sinus activity, joint mobility and fluid retention. Like other proteolytic enzymes, Serrapeptase serves as a healthy choice without the risking detrimental effects on various organs, including the liver and kidneys.*
Can I Take Too Much Serrapeptase?
Although Serretia contains highly potent Serrapeptase, it can safely be incorporated into your supplement regimen. There have been no indications that one can over-dose from the use of systemic enzymes such as Serrapeptase. However, it is important to follow dosaging instructions unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.*
Is Serretia Enteric Coated?
Instead of using any type of enteric-coated serrapeptase, the serrapeptase supplement Serrétia uses a different technology known as Acid Armor. Acid Armor capsules are made of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (the main component of veggie caps). Acid Armor capsules have a better-designed way of fitting the two sides of the capsules together, which limits leaking. Acid Armor capsules have also been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour. When a product like Serrétia is taken on an empty stomach, the capsule enters and leaves the stomach in 30 minutes or less. This means that the Acid Armor provides more than enough time for the serrapeptase enzyme to get through the stomach and into the more "enzyme friendly" environment of the intestines.*
When is the best time to take Serretia?
For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.*
Can I take Serrétia with other supplements?
Serretia can be used safely with other dietary supplements. In fact, it is recommended that it be taken in conjunction with Neprinol or Syntol for additional proteolytic and fibrinolytic support.*
How long does it take for Serretia to work?
Although every person is different, some have reported feeling the effects of systemic enzymes in as little as 45 minutes. For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Serrapeptase has been shown to support normal scar tissue formation, normal blood clotting and allows for more fluid and natural blood flow throughout the body. These effects are typically noticed within a very short time frame, though the other benefits of taking Serrétia on a regular basis are boundless and will progress with time.*

Arthur Andrew - FODMAP DPE 60 caps
£20.00
If you suffer from occasional bouts of bloating, belching, discomfort or even diarrhea following meals, you may be sensitive to common sugars that easily ferment in the digestive system. These sugars are referred to as FODMAPs. The simplest solution would be to eliminate these foods from your diet, but any type of elimination diet can be difficult. In fact, completely eliminating FODMAPs is likely impossible, or at least improbable to accomplish while maintaining a well-balanced diet. FODMAPs are typically found in some of the most nutritious fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. Fortunately, FODMAP DPE was created to eliminate the worry of whether or not a meal may result in distress.
FODMAP DPE (Digestive Probiotics and Enzymes) is a blend of specialized enzymes and spore-forming probiotics that assists the body in properly digesting highly fermentable foods, commonly known as FODMAPs.
Digestive Support
What are FODMAPs?
FODMAPs are a group of short-chain carbohydrates known as fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols and are frequently linked to digestive problems such as bloating, belching, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort. Common High FODMAP Foods
Most people experience these digestive issues because FODMAP carbohydrates are poorly digested or remain undigested as they pass through the digestive system. Eventually these undigested foods come into contact with gut bacteria where they undergo fermentation, and produce gas that causes the slew of common symptoms associated with FODMAP foods.
Who Can Benefit from FODMAP DPE?
The FODMAP Intolerant
You have already identified and eliminated high-FODMAP foods.. However, avoiding problematic FODMAPs is difficult when dining out, and sometimes even when preparing meals at home. You want to be able to enjoy eating, without the worry that you may be exposed to foods that may upset your digestion.
Incorporate a broader range of foods into the diet
Reduce occasional gas & bloating
Reduce foodanxiety and enjoy eating again
The Vegetarian/Vegan
You love your plant-based diet but some of these densely nutritious foods do not always love you back. FODMAP DPE can help digest fruits, vegetables and legumes more completely. This will allow you to release and absorb more nutrients, while preventing uncomfortable and embarrassing gas.
Digest & unlock more nutrients
Reduce occasional gas & bloating
Enjoy a broader variety of FODMAPs
The Foodie
You live to eat not eat to live, but certain foods you just can’t tolerate without obnoxious side effects. Whether you travel frequently or enjoy eating out, sometimes the best tasting meal just doesn’t sit right. Taking FODMAP DPE before each meal can prevent gas, bloating and distress. Enjoy more of the foods you love, and rest easily knowing you won’t be uncomfortable afterwards.
Savor a broader range of foods
Reduce occasional gas & bloating
Reduce food anxiety and enjoy adventurous eating
Fodmap sensitivity
Do you already know that you have a FODMAP sensitivity? People who suffer from FODMAP sensitivity are unable to eat certain foods containing either a specific sugar/carbohydrate or a number of them without experiencing gastric distress.
Similar to how those suffering from lactose (a common FODMAP) intolerance can enjoy limited levels of dairy by taking the lactase enzyme , those with FODMAP sensitivities can greatly benefit from the addition of a potent digestive enzyme such as FODMAP DPE.
Those with severe or even moderate FODMAP sensitivities usually prepare meals at home instead of going out to prevent the risk of accidentally ingesting high-FODMAP foods such as garlic and onion. Unfortunately, avoiding all high-FODMAP foods is nearly impossible, especially when dining out. This makes digestive enzymes such as FODMAP DPE a vital partner in protecting yourself from discomfort due to an accidental exposure to FODMAPs.
Forget the worry, get FODMAP DPE today and enjoy eating again.Ingredients
Alpha Galactosidase
The primary enzyme used in popular gas-relief products, alpha galactosidase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down complex sugars into simple sugars. This allows certain gas-producing foods such as cruciferous vegetables and legumes to become more easily digestible. This enzyme is important for Oligosaccharides, the “O” in FODMAPs.
Amylase
An enzyme which partially breaks starch down into maltose. Amylase is naturally excreted from the pancreas and saliva. This enzyme is important for Monosaccharides, the “M” in FODMAPs.
Glucoamylase
Converts starch into sugar like amylase, but is most active in a highly acidic pH. The inclusion of this component allows for many sugars to be broken down prior to exiting the stomach. This enzyme is important for Monosaccharides, the “M” in FODMAPs.
Lactase
The enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose. This enzyme is important for disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
Cellulase
An enzyme that digests cellulose, or plant fiber. Most animals (including humans) do not produce cellulase naturally and are therefore unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material without supplementation of the enzyme.
Xylanase
An enzyme with the ability to digest the polysaccharide xylan into xylose, which is a primary component of plant cell walls. There is some evidence that xylanase can help support the breakdown of certain artificial sweeteners and preservatives.
Hemicellulase
Breaks down hemicellulose, a type of polysaccharide that is more complex than simple sugar and present along with cellulose in all plant cell walls.
Pectinase
Breaks down pectin which is a robust component of plant cell walls. Pectin itself is not a FODMAP, but it is found in many high-FODMAP foods and is fermentable. This enzyme helps break down fermentable foods, the “F” that may not otherwise be classified as high-FODMAP foods.
Diastase
Breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules known as maltose and glucose. This enzyme helps support the digestion of both mono and disaccharides, the “D” and “M” of FODMAP.
Maltase
Breaks down maltose into glucose, which is required for the body to be able to utilize the sugar as energy. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
Invertase
Also known as sucrase, is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose (a disaccharide) into its glucose and fructose building blocks. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
Beta Glucanase
Breaks down glycosidic bonds, which is essentially a bond that holds a molecule of sugar to a molecule of another carbohydrate. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
FODMAP Probiotic Blend
A blend of two powerful spore-based probiotics that can assist in balancing and restoring a healthy microbiome. Although there aren’t any digestive enzymes that directly break down polyols, the “P” in FODMAPs which are primainly contained in “Sugar Free” products, many FODMAP sufferers have gut microbiome imbalances that may contribute to Polyol intolerance. The combination of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus clausii can help restore gut balance and support regularity by protecting against occasional constipation and diarrhea.

Neprinol AFD 150caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (Systemic Enzyme Formula)
£72.50
Neprinol is a revolutionary blend of systemic enzymes and antioxidants specially formulated to support healthy circulatory and immune function.*
Neprinol's vegetarian enzyme blend tested to be more than 500% more fibrinolytic than the leading animal-based enzyme formulation.† Neprinol's blend of systemic enzymes are similar to digestive enzymes, but are primarily used throughout the bloodstream rather than the gastrointestinal tract. Neprinol supports healthy levels of Endogenous Blood Particles or EBP’s.* EBP’s can be decayed cells, fibrin, fatty proteins, and other unwanted materials that normally accumulate in the blood.* Systemic enzymes like those in Neprinol support the body’s natural purification of these EBP’s, as well as maintaining healthy liver function and healthy inflammatory levels. Sustaining a healthy level of EBP’s is also beneficial for maintaining optimal immune and circulatory function.* Efficacy is of utmost importance to doctors and patients alike and Neprinol addresses this concern with a proven potency that can be utilized by healthcare professionals. Neprinol’s enzymes are remarkably different from typical animal derived systemic enzymes, which are sometimes derived from pork and cow sources. The enzymes in Neprinol are a combination of vegetarian and selectively potent microbial strains. Although these ingredients are extremely potent, they are well tolerated in the body. Neprinol can be recommended for both clinical use and therapeutic applications.
Recent medical breakthroughs, including clinical research performed on Neprinol, have led to the application of systemic enzymes to support the digestion of debris from the cardiovascular system.* This provides for a reduced level of EBP’s, which can support healthy inflammatory responses and their relation to joint discomfort and stiffness.* Healthy, reduced-EBP blood sustains relatively normal blood clotting factors as well. Enzymes support a healthy immune system and may support the repair damaged tissues, and even more remarkably, they require smaller doses over time to maintain their efficacy.*
Systemic enzyme products have been and continue to be under-utilized dietary aids, despite the fact that their use dates back further than most supplements. As we age, the need for enzymes increases significantly. Enzymes are essential to maintain a strong immune system, healthy joints, good circulation and overall balanced reaction to injury.* All of the enzyme components in Neprinol are derived from all-vegetarian sources, which by nature are biochemically more effective than those produced by the human body.* Supplementing with Neprinol, can replace these lost and valuable enzymes. Combined with proper diet and exercise they may drastically reduce vulnerability to a wide range of health concerns.*

Fibrin Defense
Fibrin is a protein formed in the human body responsible for scar tissue and thrombus formation. Neprinol contains a blend of fibrinolytic (fibrin degrading) enzymes that specifically address fibrin levels in the body. Our bodies normally secrete sufficient levels of plasmin, an important enzyme present in the blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins and blood clots. Plasmin, our own natural blood thinner, is responsible for maintaining normal blood solvency by removing unnecessary accumulated protein. The normal process of removing excessive fibrin can be enhanced by introducing fibrinolytic enzymes like those found in Neprinol.
Fibrinogen Over-Production
Hyper-coagulation & Fibrin Defense
Enzymes can be thought of as proteins on a mission. And when it comes to improving your health, one of the most potent targets an enzyme can seek and destroy is a fibrous protein called fibrin. Neprinol contains a powerful combination of fibrin-dissolving enzymes like serrapeptase, nattokinase and bromelain, as well as other natural ingredients. That is why it is known as Neprinol AFD – Advanced Fibrin Defense®. But to understand why the body needs help defending itself against fibrin you first need to understand a bit more about the protein itself.
Fibrin
Fibrin is an insoluble protein that plays a major role in the formation of blood clots and scar tissue. During the blood clotting process, the soluble protein fibrinogen converts into insoluble fibrin, which is then laid down inside the damaged blood vessel. The fibrin strands then assemble into a net-like gel that hardens and captures all of the materials necessary to patch the damaged vessel. This is the structural framework of a blood clot. Obviously, fibrin plays a vital role in the healing process; however, when there is fibrin overproduction, it can lead to the formation of dangerous and unnecessary blood clots in the body [1]. One factor that can lead to excessive fibrin is ageing.
As we age, the concentration of fibrinogen increases in our blood [2]. High levels of fibrinogen increases fibrin production, and as fibrin begins to accumulate in the blood vessels it generally leads to the formation of blood clots [3]. Healthy individuals usually have sufficient levels of plasmin, an enzyme that breaks up fibrin blood clots. Unfortunately plasmin production slows down as we get older so the normal process of removing excess fibrin is reduced. The result of this can be cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other related disorders [4-8].
Neprinol
Research has shown that protein-dissolving enzymes like those found in Neprinol can slow the production of fibrin and enhance its removal from the body [1]. Neprinol's blend of enzymes generally tests well above 50,000 FU per gram, which means that 50,000 units of fibrin are broken down by each gram of Neprinol powder. Of the enzymes contained in this formula perhaps the most significant is nattokinase, which has been shown to be four times more powerful than our body's own plasmin at breaking down blood clots [9].
Nattokinase
Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from natto, a fermented soybean 'cheese' that is popular in Japan [10]. The ability of nattokinase to breakdown fibrin has been tested in more than 12 studies [11], and nattokinase has been shown to be the most potent fibrin-degrading enzyme out of more than 200 foods tested [3].
Researchers have found that nattokinase works much in the same way as plasmin [3], which means thatnattokinase literally dissolves fibrin, whether it is holding together blood clots or is part of scar tissue [12]. However, nattokinase also blocks the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which boosts its fibrin-destroying capabilities even more [9,13].
Plasminogen is made into plasmin, the body's fibrin-dissolving enzyme. However, the conversion process is inactivated by PAI-1. This is why high levels of PAI-1 reduce fibrin breakdown and removal [14]. Nattokinase increases fibrin breakdown by blocking PAI-1 so that more plasmin is produced.
Because of this nattokinase is not only able to stop dangerous blood clots from developing but also helps dissolve any clots that have already formed. As a result, oral nattokinase supplements are recommended for preventing cardiovascular disease [15]. Nattokinase has also been shown to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in high-risk patients in combination with pycnogenol[16].
Bromelain
Bromelain is an extract from pineapple that contains a number of fibrin-degrading enzymes [17,18], as well as enzymes that enhance this fibrin-dissolving action [19]. Bromelain was shown to increase the conversion of plasminogen into plasmin [20-22]. It has also been shown to prevent the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin [17]. However, unlike nattokinase, bromelain is not able to dissolve fibrin clumps that have already formed [17].
Because a high percentage of ingested bromelain is absorbed intact into the bloodstream, protein- and fibrin-degrading activity in the blood can be increased for hours after taking it [23]. Two large-scale trials in patients with heart problems showed that bromelain could almost completely eliminate thrombosis [24].
Serrapeptase
Serrapeptase is another important component of Neprinol's advanced fibrin defense. Serrapeptase is a protein-degrading enzyme isolated from the silk worm [25]. It has significant anti-inflammatory and fibrin-removal activity [26], which makes it ideal for preventing blood clot formation associated with cardiovascular disease.
Other Diseases Linked to Fibrin
The buildup of excess fibrin in the body can cause more health problems than just blood clots. Fibrin has also been linked to a number of chronic and progressive diseases like multiple sclerosis [27,28] and asthma [29]. As a result, Neprinol's fibrin-degrading enzymes could prove to be a good treatment option [1,30].
Breaking down fibrin using enzymes may also help a number of conditions that are difficult to treat, such as Peyronie’s disease, Dupuytren’s contracture and Ledderhose’s disease. All of these conditions are characterized by a loss of tissue elasticity, which leads to tissue tearing, then bleeding, clot formation and fibrin deposition. Over time, taking fibrin-degrading enzymes may reduce the amount of scar tissue built up in locations where there has been repeated damage and bleeding [1].
Finally, using enzymes to dissolve fibrin may also play a role in cancer prevention and treatment. Cancer cells often are surrounded by a fibrin coating [31]. Researchers think that the fibrin may provide a type of camouflage for these abnormal cells, allowing them to escape being destroyed by the immune system. It is possible that by removing this fibrin coating, the body could detect cancer cells and destroy them before they are able to gain a foothold in the body.
Advanced Fibrin Defense
As you can see, excess fibrin can wreak havoc on our bodies, especially as we get older and our natural production of enzymes decreases. However, Neprinol provides a combination of superior fibrin-active enzymes designed to keep fibrin levels in check. Neprinol is an excellent choice for anyone suffering from, or hoping to prevent, the harmful effects of excess fibrin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Neprinol?
Neprinol is a proprietary combination of Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, Protease, Lipase, Bromelain, Papain, Rutin, Amla and other proteolytic enzymes that are specially formulated to assist your body's defense of the damaging effects of fibrin. Neprinol has been used to strengthen the immune and circulatory systems, maintain a healthy inflammatory response and to support the body's natural recovery process.*
What are Enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins (or protein-based molecules) that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. Every enzyme has a specific reactant known as a substrate, which can be thought of like a lock and a key. Only a specific enzyme (or key) will react (or unlock) its substrate. This is the reason why enzymes are unable to break down necessary and vital tissue, as they only react with certain harmful proteins in the body.
What are "Systemic Enzymes"?
When enzymes are introduced into the bloodstream, they work “systemically”, or throughout the entire body. Taking enzymes on an empty stomach allows them to work systemically since they will bypass the upper digestive process and enter the bloodstream through the intestine. Systemic enzymes are similar to digestive enzymes, though certain enzymes are better designed for systemic activity as opposed to digestion due to the materials they react with, such as Serrapeptase and Nattokinase. These two enzymes are very efficient with the breakdown of a particular substance known as Fibrin.
What is Fibrin?
Fibrin is a protein substance naturally formed in the human body that plays a significant role in our health and general well-being. Fibrin is responsible for scar tissue formation, and is produced as a reaction to injury. Our bodies naturally maintain healthy fibrin levels with enzymes (principally plasmin) whose role is to attack and break down any excessive fibrin. As fibrin builds up in the body, it can cause many unhealthy conditions.
Why Neprinol?
As we age, our natural enzyme production decreases while the need for these enzymes is of increasing importance. Supplementing these valuable enzymes can combat enzyme deficiencies that can lead to a wide variety of health concerns. Healthy levels of these enzymes can assist the body in maintaining a healthy immune system, healthy joints, proper circulation and an overall balanced reaction to injury.
How Does Neprinol Work?
By supplementing and replenishing the body's diminishing enzymes, Neprinol provides one of our most essential and basic biochemical needs. It supplements the body's natural fibrinolytic enzyme levels thereby helping to maintain healthy fibrin levels: an underlying causative agent for many unhealthy conditions in the body.*
Is Neprinol Enteric Coated?
Enteric coatings are designed to protect enzymes and other supplements from stomach acid. Plastic-like chemicals known as phthalates are often used in this coating process. Phthalates are actually banned in children's toys in Europe and Mexico, so why would we ever include these in our formulas? Arthur Andrew Medical has instead developed an all-natural, chemical-free Acid Armor capsule. These capsules are comprised of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (vegetable capsules) with a micro threaded locking mechanism to prevent leaking. Acid Armor capsules have been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
Is Neprinol Safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking systemic enzymes such as Neprinol*. Clinical studies have shown that even extremely large doses of these enzymes are not toxic. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult with your physician before taking Neprinol.

Devigest ADS 180caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (Digestive Enyzme Formula)
£45.00
Devigest Advanced Digestive Support is more powerful and concentrated than its earlier predecessors. Just one capsule with meals can ease the digestion of even the most troublesome of foods. Now more powerful and concentrated, Devigest can support reduced food irritations and sensitivities as well as reduce occasional abdominal gas and bloating. Devigest now contains a highly potent Peptidase with 500 units of DPP-IV activity per serving. Peptidase breaks down gluten and casein, two digestive irritants. Many formulas today have begun to utilize this amazing enzyme, but rarely is it incorporated in a broad spectrum blend, which leaves many formulas incomplete. Devigest is a complete and broad spectrum formula, making the need for supplementing other digestive enzyme products obsolete.
Devigest also includes Alpha Galactosidase which is the active ingredient in the ever-popular product Beano®. Our bodies lack the enzymes that are responsible for breaking down certain carbohydrates in the small intestine. This causes improperly digested food to enter the large intestine where bacteria then begin to break it down, creating large amounts of gas which can lead to flatulence, abdominal bloating and digestive discomfort. Unlike many other gas medicines, Alpha Galactosidase can help prevent gas before it starts by breaking down the complex carbohydrates found in gassy foods into simpler, more easily digestible sugars.
A similar phenomenon occurs with those that experience digestive distress when comsuming dairy foods. Lactose intolerance is the inability to break down lactose, which is milk sugar found in most dairy products. Lactose intolerance is the result of lacking the essential enzyme Lactase. Devigest now contains 444% more lactase than its predecessor per serving allowing those with lactose intolerance to enjoy dairy foods without the digestive distress.
Proper digestion is a prerequisite for optimal health. Unless digestive physiology is in order, no other self-regulating or self-healing systems are able to perform in normal states. Devigest ADS serves not only in the aiding of the digestive process as a whole, but also therapeutic applications. Too often insufficient digestive enzyme production is overlooked as the culprit of indigestion and other digestive compliactions. Gas, bloating, incomplete digestion, and abdominal discomfort can play a part in the everyday life of many individuals. Properly digested foods add nutrients to our bodies, provide energy, and provide support to the countless other processes that are vital for proper human function. Supplementing with a high-quality digestive enzyme like Devigest ADS may be the answer to many of these concerns.
Suggested Use
Directions: Take 1 to 2 capsules between meals.
Warning: Do not take Devigest without the consent of your physician if you are taking anti-coagulants or if you are pregnant or nursing.
Is Devigest safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking digestive enzymes such as Devigest. Clinical studies have shown that even extremely large doses of these enzymes are not toxic.
When is the best time to take Devigest?
For best results, take the product immediately prior to eating, or with your first bite. Devigest can also be taken after meals to alleviate digestive complications such as gas, bloating and indigestion.
Can I take Devigest with other supplements?
Devigest can be used safely with other dietary supplements.
How long does it take for Devigest to work?
The effects of digestive enzymes can be felt fairly quickly when taken after meals for indigestion, bloating or heartburn. When taking the product with meals containing foods that typically cause indigestion, the product should help alleviate the onset of these symptoms by assisting the body's digestive process.
Supplement Facts
Bromelain
A proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple. Bromelain attacks the long chain polypeptides of proteins ingested, breaking them down into shorter chain peptides, which are then able to be broken down further by other enzymes.
Protease
A proteolytic enzyme that is capable of digesting nearly every type of protein; protease is responsible for digesting the bulk of ingested proteins and is one of the three enzymes found in our body’s natural pancreatic juices. Devigest contains a blend of proteases to broaden the pH range of the product.
Dipeptidyl Peptidase
A proteolytic enzyme responsible for completing the digestion of peptides to basic amino acids. Dipeptidyl Peptidase is primarily responsible for the breakdown of gluten which is found in food items made from grains such as wheat or rye.
Alpha Galactosidase
The primary enzyme used in popular gas-relief products such as Beano®, alpha galactosidase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down complex sugars into simple sugars. This allows for certain foods such as cruciferous vegetables and legumes to be more easily digested, reducing intestinal gas.
Amylase
An enzyme which partially breaks starch down into maltose; amylase is naturally excreted from the pancreas and saliva.
Lipase
Triggers the breakdown of fat into fatty acids. Lipase is the third enzyme that is found in our body’s natural pancreatic juices along with protease and amylase.
Glucoamylase
Converts starch into sugar like amylase, but is most active in a highly acidic pH. The inclusion of this component allows for many sugars to be broken down prior to exiting the stomach.
Lactase
The enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose.
Cellulase
An enzyme that digests cellulose, or plant fiber. Most animals (including humans) do not produce cellulase naturally and are therefore unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material.
Xylanase
An enzyme with the ability to digest artificial food dyes and preservatives, and is usually lacking in other digestive formulas.
Papain
Derived from the papaya, papain hydrolyzes protein peptides into basic amino acids.
Potassium and Calcium Bicarbonates
Nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract are absorbed most efficiently when the environment is alkaline (pH over 7). Bicarbonates help to alkalize the digestive tract, allowing for optimal absorption of nutrients and can also ease the symptoms of indigestion when taken after meals.
Hemicellulase
Breaks down hemicellulose, a type of polysaccharide that is more complex than simple sugar and present along with cellulose in all plant cell walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Devigest?
Devigest ADS was formulated to replace Devacor, the first digestive enzyme blend introduced by Arthur Andrew Medical. Devigest is a broad spectrum digestive enzyme blend that will help restore the body’s digestive enzymes, supporting balanced digestion and complete food assimilation. Devigest includes a much more potent blend of enzymes for breaking down gluten and dairy products. Additionally, our own pancreatic enzymes require an alkaline pH for maximum activity. Sodium and potassium bicarbonates, which are normal components of pancreatic juices, have been added to ensure that a sufficiently alkaline medium is present.
How is Devigest Different From its Predecessors?
Devigest includes a highly potent Peptidase with 500 units of DPP-IV activity per serving. It also now contains Alpha Galactosidase (the active ingredient in the product Beano®) as well as higher potency enzymes such as Lactase, Acid-Stable Protease, and Glucoamylase. Devigest was formulated to be more effective and provide even more relief for those with sensitivities to gluten, casein, dairy, and much more. Those with a diet high in gassy foods such as legumes and cruciferous vegetables will highly benefit from the addition of Alpha Galactosidase.
What are “Digestive Enzymes”?
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. Every enzyme has a specific reactant known as a substrate, which can be thought of like a lock and key. Devigest contains several enzymes or “keys” that can “unlock” (or breakdown) many of the typical types of food common in our diets. The enzymes in Devigest ADS are specific to the digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Additional enzymes have been added to help digest dairy products as well as gluten and other food additives.
How Do I Know if I Need Digestive Enzymes?
A healthy body produces enzymes in sufficient quantities to ensure proper digestion of most foods. However, some people do not produce sufficient quantities of these enzymes, and often get the common symptoms of indigestion such as gas, bloating, heartburn, abdominal discomfort and constipation. These symptoms are common indicators that one may benefit from supplementation of a digestive enzyme. However, virtually everyone, even those who are asymptomatic, could benefit from the use of digestive enzymes.
Why Devigest?
Devigest ADS is the best choice for supporting optimal digestion. Unless digestive physiology is in order, no other self-regulating or self-healing systems are able to perform in optimal states, including immune function. Gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort can play a part in the everyday life of many individuals. Supplementing with a high-quality digestive enzyme may be the answer to many of these problems.
How Does Devigest Work?
Devigest ADS is an enzyme blend that allows for more complete digestion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Unlike Devigest, many digestive enzyme blends are incomplete as they lack the ability to break down common digestive irritants such as lactose and gluten. Devigest also includes an alkalization formula for optimal enzymatic activity.
Is Devigest Safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking digestive enzymes such as Devigest. Clinical studies have shown that even extremely large doses of these enzymes are not toxic.

Syntol 500mg 180caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (prebiotic, probiotic formula)
£65.00
Syntol contains a combination of probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes to be the first and only gentle yeast cleanse of its kind.
Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast colonies, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Prebiotics are soluble fibers that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial flora. Syntol contains IMO as its prebiotic which is completely resistant to bodily digestion, able to pass safely through the stomach and into the intestine where it stimulates the growth of probiotics and bifidobacteria by fermenting and creating the ideal conditions for microflora colonization. The enzyme yeast cleanse is beneficial for the breaking down of dead and decaying yeast. This allows the body to remove the toxic yeast before it has a chance to ferment and release chemicals such as formaldehyde that are known to cause uncomfortable detox symptoms.
There is a single layer of cells between the bloodstream and the digestive waste products in our intestines. When the intestines are inhabited with normal, healthy bacterial flora, this close proximity is not a problem. The powerful digestive immune system is designed to swiftly remove toxins when a threat to the body is detected. The more waste that accumulates from a poor diet, low-grade inflammation, and/or abnormal or pathogenic bacteria, the bigger the challenge to determine what is helpful or harmful. The result of waste accumulating in the intestines will increase immune complexing and autoimmune reactivity throughout the body. Syntol directly addresses these causative factors with proteolytic enzymes and probiotics to break down harmful proteins and yeast, remove pathogens and normalize intestinal bacterial flora.
Syntol contains 3 Billion CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of various non-competing strains of bacteria. One of these strains is the potent B. subtilis that is a spore forming bacteria. Spore germination is a dependable means of delivering healthy flora to the intestine in less than ideal conditions. Most bacteria are susceptible to any acidic pH range, mainly thriving in the more alkaline lower GI, but spores are able to withstand a broader range of variables in regards to pH and temperature ranges. This improves the chances that the probiotic strain will properly germinate and begin the process of restoring intestinal balance.
Candida Case Study
Study Shows Syntol Natural Anti-fungal Kills Yeast without Side Effects
There's good news for both men and women wanting to support healthy candida levels.* Syntol AMD a new enzyme-based probiotic formula, aids in promoting normal systemic candida amounts without the occasional discomfort associated with cleanses.* Herbal cleanses can be effective, but often cause undesirable die-off symptoms.* Researchers specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added to our Syntol® formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away.* Syntol uses very specific enzymes and probiotic strains, selected for their cleansing and immune enhancing properties.* These probiotics produce peroxide and other substances that are toxic to yeast.* Syntol is one of the only gentle yeast cleanses on the market.*
About Candidiasis
If left untreated, an overgrowth of intestinal Candida albicans can become parasitic, robbing the body of vital nutrients in addition to developing rhizoids (plant-like roots) that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. Rhizoids can eventually lead to leaky gut syndrome (LGS), which involves the dispersion of undigested food and microscopic bowel particulates seeping into the bloodstream. Aside from the candida, leaky gut can trigger a destructive pro-inflammatory autoimmune response.*
Candida in the Blood
“Current medical thought is that if candida exists at all in the blood then participants are suffering from serious medical illness and are near death,” Dr. Bajon says. “Nearly 80 percent of the people who come to see me have at least trace amounts of circulating Candida albicans in their blood, proving at least to me that blood isn’t at all sterile. These people are very uncomfortable with effects on their neurological, emotional, and gastrointestinal systems, but they are far from death,” he adds. The number-one cause of candidiasis is the overuse of prescription antibiotics. Antibiotics, while killing harmful bacteria, also kill the healthy intestinal bacteria that normally keep yeast in check. Yeast thrives on sugars and complex and refined carbohydrates, which simply add fuel to the fire. Dr. Bajon explains, “Although complex carbohydrates and fruits high in fructose are a healthy addition to a high fiber diet, many people are intolerant to such foods. Intolerance to these healthy carbohydrates is referred to as complex carbohydrate intolerance or CCI. CCI can lead to uncomfortable and embarrassing gastroenterological symptoms. Many nutritionists believe that it’s the gluten fractions in these foods that affect the immune systems. CCI and even celiac disease sufferers can further aggravate a leaky gut with sugar and carbs. These foods stimulate unfriendly critters like candida to multiply in the gut.”*
The Study
Dr. Bajon was the leading researcher on the latest study on Syntol, formulated to be the first and only “gentle” yeast cleanse of its kind. The study involved an in-depth analysis of live blood samples in participants suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of candidiasis. Using the Crook Candida Yeast Test by Dr. William G. Crook, an authority in the area of candida yeast infections, Dr. Bajon screened some 20 participants before selecting his ideal test patients. After scoring the test results, he evaluated the nine participants who likely had the highest instance of candida based on their scores. The live blood analysis was performed at 1,000 magnifications and enlarged to over 10,000 times. Dr. Bajon selected the most severe cases to complete the study. The participants were divided into three groups of two—moderate, severe, and extreme. They were given 6, 9, and 12 Syntol capsules daily respectively for a period of 45 days. Each participant returned every 2 weeks for follow-up blood analysis and to quantify the regression of candida concentrations in the blood. No placebo or other drugs were administered during the study.*
Results
The study showed that the use of Syntol significantly reduced and sometimes completely eliminated Candida albicans in the bloodstream. Participants showed significant improvements in:
Gastrointestinal symptoms including abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, burping/flatulence, stomach discomfort, and acid reflux.*
Toxicity symptoms including headaches, excessive fatigue, muscle weakness, insomnia, low sex drive, chronic pain, and blurred and spotted vision.*
Emotional health including anxiety, mood swings, irritability, inability to think clearly or concentrate, and poor memory.*
Food cravings including sweets, lack of satiety, and general over-eating.*
“We had some great results,” Dr. Bajon reports. “Most importantly, Syntol killed candida gently without a die-off or lash back. Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added into the Syntol formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away.
“Fermenting yeast can produce 79 distinct toxins including acetylaldehydes. Acetylaldehydes are toxic chemicals similar to formaldehyde that accumulate in joints, muscles, spinal and brain tissues,” says Dr. Stephan Cooter, PhD, in his book Beating Chronic Disease. Anti-fungal drugs kill yeast, but leave it to die inside the body that can produce toxins and flu-like symptoms. Fermenting yeast can quickly be eliminated and digested with certain enzymes.
Candida Participant Before Syntol
High concentrations of Candida, shown as mold clumps and surrounded by white irregularly shaped dots (elevated white blood cells), were seen in the plasma. Patient had serious symptoms such as chronic fatigue, poor memory, dizziness, muscle pain, vaginal yeast with itching, burning and rashes, blurred and spotted vision, abdominal bloating and insomnia. Patient also craved for sweets.
Candida Participant 45 Days After Syntol
Blood plasma was observed to be free of Candida albicans and has normal white blood cells (fighter cells). Patient noticed an increase in energy levels, higher than what was attained in 10 years. Itching, burning and appearance of rashes lessened. Normal vision and digestion were observed. Patient lost approximately 12 pounds and craving for foods with high sugar content diminished. Patient sleeps soundly and wakes up more refreshed with less foul odor in the mouth.
Syntol and Yeast
Syntol promotes a healthy balance of Candida albicans while delivering healthy bacteria to the gut without the Herxheimer reaction. Yeast can trick the body into craving simple carbohydrates and sugar, which can create havoc on individuals trying to make healthy food choices and manage weight. Daily supplementation of Syntol AMD may support a shift away from dietary carbohydrates and sugar preferences. “It is hoped that the results of the study will provide valuable information to individuals and clinicians on the effectiveness of Syntol AMD supplementation,” concludes Dr. Bajon.
Long-term Results
After 45 days using the therapeutic protocol set up by Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, all participants showed virtually zero or trace amounts of candida in their blood. Symptomatic side effects had all been abated and virtually no symptoms of candida were further experienced by all participants. Some of the participants noticed a significant weight loss as a result of reduced food cravings. The study proved to be an important documented breakthrough in our learning more about naturally and effectively controlling this insidious organism.
Suggested Use
Directions: Take 1 to 4 capsules with 8 oz of water between meals or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For therapeutic results, take 3 or 4 capsules three times daily.
Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing or under medical supervision, please contact your healthcare provider prior to using this product.
Is Syntol safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol.
When is the best time to take Syntol?
For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.
Can I take Syntol with other supplements?
Syntol can be used safely with other dietary supplements.
How long does it take for Syntol to work?
Typically, supplementing the product for a minimum of a month's time is recommended, with the best results occurring anywhere from one to two months thereafter.
Can I use Syntol while I am taking antibiotics?
Some doctors feel it is best to wait until an antibiotic regimen is over before taking a probiotic supplement, however there is no evidence that probiotic supplementation is dangerous or will somehow negatively impact the efficacy of the prescription. Opinions do vary, and some doctors will actually encourage their patients to take probiotics while on antibiotics. For this reason it is always best to contact your healthcare provider with inquiries regarding your prescription drugs prior to taking dietary supplements.

L. plantarum
Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid producing bacteria that prevents harmful bacteria from attaching to the mucosal lining and competes for the nutrients the bad bacteria need to survive.
L. lactis
Lactobacillus lactis is a gram-positive bacteria that ferments milk sugar to lactic acid and adds synergistic support to the probiotic blend as a whole.
B. bifidum
Bifidobacterium bifidum naturally inhabits the colon and vagina, and is a very potent probiotic for the balance of microflora in the intestines.
Digestive Yeast Cleanse
Syntol uses the extremely potent blend of protease (protein digesting), cellulase and hemicellulase (cellulose digesting), glucoamylase and amylase (breaks down sugars), and serratiopeptidase. These enzymes strip away the Candida's protective protein shell and begin digesting its cellular infrastructure. Syntol contains this powerful intestinal cleanse to assist in the removal of dead yeast and other bad bacteria from the body. This will protect the body from experiencing detox symptoms from toxins typically given off from the elimination of yeast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Syntol?
Syntol AMD is a powerful combination of non-competing probiotics and prebiotics that facilitate an extremely oxygen-rich environment, preventing the growth of yeast colonies and providing the perfect conditions for indigenous bacterial growth. In addition, Syntol AMD also contains a powerful enzyme blend that is capable of removing dead yeast, bad bacteria and toxins from the body.
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are medically referred to as a group of “friendly bacteria”, or “microflora”. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria and pathogens, and inhibit the negative effects of constant antibiotic overexposure.
What are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are essentially the food source for probiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that pass through your digestive tract until they reach the large intestine, where they then feed the beneficial microflora. Supplementing with a prebiotic such as IMO (contained in Syntol) on its own has been clinically shown to increase the body's levels of natural microflora. Supplementing prebiotics together with probiotics provides one's body with the best opportunity to regain gastrointestinal and immune health.
Why Syntol?
Syntol contains 3.4 billion CFU’s of 100% complementary microflora and spore-germinating probiotics per capsule. To stimulate the growth and activity of the probiotics, IMO, a non-digestible fiber has been added as a prebiotic. In addition to beneficial microflora, Syntol also contains a powerful enzyme blend designed to clear yeast and other unwanted debris out of the intestinal tract, making Syntol much stronger than competing yeast cleanses on the market. Syntol is the only of its kind, containing prebiotics, probiotics and an enzyme blend all in one capsule.
How Does Syntol Work?
Syntol AMD uses spore germination technology, a revolutionary new process that delivers probiotic spores rather than living bacteria. Probiotic spores are dormant life forms that protect the bacteria from acidic conditions, as well as extreme heat and cold. These spores, along with the potent probiotics, attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal mucosa and begin to germinate, allowing for complete microflora colonization. In addition, the enzyme yeast cleanse will help to break down any dead fungus or toxic materials remaining in the intestinal tract, allowing for a complete eradication of unwanted debris.
What is Candida?
Various strains of candida are naturally found in the human body. With healthy levels of microflora, these yeast strains live in perfect harmony within the intestine, however, poor diet and other factors can cause candida overgrowth. Some doctors argue that 60 to 80 percent of the US population may be affected by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. Eventually, these yeast strains can begin to turn “parasitic”, robbing our bodies of our resources for their own benefit.
Over time, Candida can begin developing plantlike roots that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. These roots can dig deep enough to cause permeability (leakage) in the intestinal tract and allow toxic material to flow into the blood. Candida is comprised of an outer protective protein layer and primarily cellulose and N-acetyl-glucosamine (Chitin) under it, making it very difficult for the body to break down and eliminate naturally. Syntol contains a powerful enzyme blend necessary to strip away the protective protein shell and begin digesting the cellular infrastructure of the Candida.
Do I Need To Take Syntol Forever?
For therapeutic benefit, most people find that a minimum of one month of supplementation is necessary, with the best results occurring one to two months thereafter. Many people find that a maintenance dose of Syntol is a great addition to their daily regimen to keep their body in balance once healthy.
Does Syntol Need To Be Refrigerated?
Refrigeration of Syntol is not necessary. The advanced spore germination technology and freeze dried bacterial strains allow for a shelf stable product. However, it is important to store probiotics in a cool and dry place.
Is Syntol Safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Serretia?
Serretia is comprised of 99.99% pure Serratiopeptidase, more commonly known as Serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme originally discovered in the intestine of silkworms, and is produced by Arthur Andrew Medical through the isolation of the microorganism Serratia E-15. In Japan, Serrapeptase is commonly prescribed as a drug, but here in the US we can experience serrapeptase and all of its wonderful benefits without a prescription.*
How Does Serretia Work?
Taken on an empty stomach, Serrapeptase, a fibrinolytic (fibrin digesting) enzyme, enters the bloodstream via the small intestine. Serrapeptase supports normal fibrin production within the body; its inherent ability to digest waste particles enables the enzyme to support normal recovery times and support healthy circulation.*
Why Should I Take Serretia?
Serrapeptase has a variety of benefits, and has been found to successfully aid in the breakdown of scar tissue, cysts, blood clots, and plaque. Serrétia may help to improve recovery after sports injuries or surgery, muscle tears and pulls, sinus activity, joint mobility and fluid retention. Like other proteolytic enzymes, Serrapeptase serves as a healthy choice without the risking detrimental effects on various organs, including the liver and kidneys.*
Can I Take Too Much Serrapeptase?
Although Serretia contains highly potent Serrapeptase, it can safely be incorporated into your supplement regimen. There have been no indications that one can over-dose from the use of systemic enzymes such as Serrapeptase. However, it is important to follow dosaging instructions unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.*
Is Serretia Enteric Coated?
Instead of using any type of enteric-coated serrapeptase, the serrapeptase supplement Serrétia uses a different technology known as Acid Armor. Acid Armor capsules are made of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (the main component of veggie caps). Acid Armor capsules have a better-designed way of fitting the two sides of the capsules together, which limits leaking. Acid Armor capsules have also been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour. When a product like Serrétia is taken on an empty stomach, the capsule enters and leaves the stomach in 30 minutes or less. This means that the Acid Armor provides more than enough time for the serrapeptase enzyme to get through the stomach and into the more "enzyme friendly" environment of the intestines.*
When is the best time to take Serretia?
For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.*
Can I take Serrétia with other supplements?
Serretia can be used safely with other dietary supplements. In fact, it is recommended that it be taken in conjunction with Neprinol or Syntol for additional proteolytic and fibrinolytic support.*
How long does it take for Serretia to work?
Although every person is different, some have reported feeling the effects of systemic enzymes in as little as 45 minutes. For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Serrapeptase has been shown to support normal scar tissue formation, normal blood clotting and allows for more fluid and natural blood flow throughout the body. These effects are typically noticed within a very short time frame, though the other benefits of taking Serrétia on a regular basis are boundless and will progress with time.*

Fibrovera AHS 90caps (Arthur Andrew Medical)
£60.99
FibroVera is a proprietary blend of microbial and botanical components selected to support uterine and breast health.
Reproductive health is an important topic for men and women alike. For women however, understanding and feeling confident about the body and the ebb and flow of the menstrual cycle is almost always a daily concern. FibroVera is a gentle option that offers the opportunity of bringing balance back to women’s hormone levels. FibroVera is an all-natural unique blend of hormone balancing botanicals and enzymes designed to help women support health concerns stemming from hormonal irregularities. FibroVera provides fibrinolytic (fibrin eating) enzymes and cofactors that are specifically selected to promote normal fibrin activity. Healthy hormone levels will naturally promote normal fibrin activity as well as support normal premenstrual symptoms. FibroVera is intended to modulate the hormonal response, restoring inherent processes in a woman's body. Each component was carefully selected using only well researched and clinically supported ingredients. Dr. Andrew L. Rubman is a naturopathic physician and founder of the Southbury Clinic for Traditional Medicines in Connecticut. He is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and was inducted into the association's elite Founder's Club. He is also a Fellow of the International Association for Medical Preventics and a member of the National Center for Homeopathy, the Orthomolecular Medical Society, and the National Science Honor Society. His most current project has landed him as the primary formulator of Fibrovera AHS, a unique blend of botanical components clinically documented to restore hormonal balance in woman. Hormone modulating ingredients, combined with fibrinolytic enzymes, provides women with a direct defense against uterine and breast abnormalities.

Estrogen Dominance
The phenomenon of Estrogen Dominance has been widely discussed with its relationship to fibroid growth. It is a prime contributor to the deregulation of normal function experienced by not only women approaching, transitioning, and resolving the challenge of menopause, but also those young women experiencing difficulty with menarche (the beginning of fertility). This imbalance is initially characterized by a number of factors:
A decrease in DHEA due to stress, aging, poor diet, side effects of prescription drugs etc.
A decrease in progesterone effect due to absolute decrease in synthesis secondary to inadequate cholesterol down-conversion and increasing insensitivity of progesterone receptors.
The activation of a cross-conversion pathway that forces progesterone to act as a source for the synthesis of estrogens; decreasing both its bioavailability as a hormone, and as a substrate for the formation of adrenal cortical hormones.
This concept, unfortunately like most of endocrinology, is difficult for the average person as well as many physicians to fully comprehend. Why is this concept important? It demonstrates that the best way to not only address conditions such as abnormal tissue growth and inflammation, is by providing the body with natural compounds that it can use to enhance processes that it already has in place to decrease symptoms and potentially undo tissue changes.
The inclusion of a DHEA supplement may indirectly increase progesterone synthesis and act to alleviate the need for available progesterone scavenged to promote a significant source for the synthesis of estrogen; relying less on progesterone as source for estrogen conversion allowing progesterone to act freely opposing estrogen. [19],[20] This process is further supported by specifically including DIM in FibroVera, to discourage the aromatization of testosterone into estrogens. I have studied the emerging literature and incorporated it into treatment regimes for over a decade and now feel comfortable enough about its metabolism and effects to include it in an OTC formula. Yes, it is a steroidal hormone precursor, however at the dosage levels supplied; it can be regarded as underwriting the proper synthesis of the estrogens and testosterone as well as the balance and effects of a myriad of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. It is included at synergistic dose levels to help the individual not only do better, but feel better as well. The peer-reviewed research supports the safety and efficacy of DHEA and this inspires our choice and confidence
Suggested Use
Directions: Take 1 to 2 capsules with 8 oz of water between meals or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Warning:Do not take FibroVera without the consent of your physician if you are taking anti-coagulants or if you are pregnant or nursing.
Is FibroVera safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking FibroVera. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult with your physician before taking FibroVera.
When is the best time to take FibroVera?
For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.
Can I take FibroVera with other supplements?
FibroVera can be used safely with other dietary supplements.
How long does it take for FibroVera to work?
For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Typically, when one is addressing hormonal challenges with a product such as FibroVera, symptoms of hormonal change can occur in a matter of days. This is the first step in the process, and the most important, as hormonal imbalances left in their unbalanced state can lead to a variety of health concerns.
Supplement Facts
Fibrinolytic Enzyme Blend
Hormonal changes can often trigger excessive fibrin fibrin production. The proprietary fibrinolytic enzyme blend in FibroVera has been added to support healthy fibrin levels. Fibrinolytic enzymes can enhance the normal process of fibrinolysis (fibrin dissolving). Serrapeptase and nattokinase are exceptional fibrinolytic enzymes. Bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple, has the potential to soften and digest necrotic (or dead) proteins. Papain, a protease enzyme derived from papaya, is often combined with bromelain to support healthy inflammatory levels.
Coenzyme Blend
Calcium and magnesium adequacy are essential to pain modulation, as well as cramping and other PMS symptoms, and have been added as active ingredients as well as coenzymes. High doses of systemic enzymes can deplete the body’s coenzyme resources. Coenzymes provide the “fuel” necessary to power the processes of enzymes. Magnesium is a very active coenzyme, and is also essential in proper absorption of calcium.
Hormonal Support Blend
FibroVera also contains a proprietary blend of hormone modulating compounds that work synergistically to restore hormonal equilibrium. P5P, a vitamin B6 derivative is used by the central nervous system in the synthesis of serotonin and norepinephrine. Serotonin deficiencies are related to depression, sleep disturbances, and even fatigue. GLA, or gamma-Linolenic acid, is an omega-6 fatty acid that has been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response. Diindolmethane, also known as DIM, is an extract derived from cruciferous vegetables. DIM has been shown to modulate estrogen metabolism. The inclusion of DHEA, Dehydroepiandrosterone, may indirectly increase progesterone synthesis, in turn supporting hormone balance. The female tonic Dong Quai produces a relaxing effect on the muscle of the uterus by decreasing sensitivity to inflammation, making it useful for painful menstruation and tenderness.
Liver Cleansing Blend
As the primary site of hormone metabolite processing, healthy liver function is essential. Milk Thistle Seed has been studied extensively for its use in supporting healthy liver function. In conjunction with Dandelion Root and Hyssop Flowers, it serves to increase the liver’s ability to bind hormonal metabolites to bile and effectively move them into the intestine for excretion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will FibroVera help me when I become menopausal?
The FibroVera formula was specifically formulated to help support many of the symptomatic challenges experienced by women in hormonal transitions. It is well to consider that many of the fluctuations preceding the cessation of menses may begin a full decade before. As many know, symptom clusters may persist many months and even years after the event. We believe that women experiencing difficulty associated with menopause will note substantial improvement with the consistent use of FibroVera.
Can I take FibroVera if I am trying to conceive?
FibroVera does not contain any ingredients that will negatively impact conception. However, if you become pregnant while taking FibroVera, or are nursing presently, discontinue use and ask your health care provider for advice on how to proceed. We are aware of the special concerns of pregnant women and our role in insuring safety. Unless drugs, OTCs, and supplements are specifically tested for their safety and efficacy while pregnant and nursing, they should not be used unless specifically evaluated and approved by your physician.
Is FibroVera right for all women?
FibroVera was designed with every woman in mind. FibroVera does not directly impact hormones. FibroVera provides the key ingredients that metabolize unwanted (non-beneficial) hormone metabolites while promoting the secretion and balance of good (beneficial) ones. FibroVera's ingredients are all natural components that work to replenish missing factors from diet, restoring the inherent processes in any woman's body.
Can I take FibroVera with other supplements?
FibroVera may be safely taken with Neprinol and other dietary supplements. Neprinol can increase the fibrinolytic (fibrin lysing) portion of FibroVera. Syntol can replenish beneficial flora in the body, and Devacor may reduce gastrointestinal stress induced by the process of digesting foods low in natural enzymes.
If I am anemic, can I safely take FibroVera?
Excessive blood loss can occur during menstruation. For many forms of anemia, we recommend your healthcare provider consider a heme-iron preparation, a B12 supplement, and folic acid with additional multi-B support to address this situation. If you believe that you are or may be anemic, please consult with your health care provider.
Does FibroVera contain soy?
Soy food products have been a dietary staple for many cultures for centuries and have undeniable benefits. However, we felt it was best not to include these components in the formula at this time.
What can I expect from FibroVera?
FibroVera has been designed to work as a part of a balanced food and supplement regimen to target those symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances complicated by inflammation and fibrous tissue changes. In the short term, usually within a few weeks, women should expect to feel and function better. Within a few months, they should notice a decrease in the effects of such issues as fibrous tissue abnormalities and endometriosis. FibroVera can be safely used without significant side effects or dangerous interactions with prescription drugs.
Is FibroVera safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking FibroVera. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult with your physician before taking FibroVera.

Syntol 500mg 90caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (prebiotic, probiotic formula)
£38.00
Syntol contains a combination of probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes to be the first and only gentle yeast cleanse of its kind.
Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast colonies, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Prebiotics are soluble fibers that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial flora. Syntol contains IMO as its prebiotic which is completely resistant to bodily digestion, able to pass safely through the stomach and into the intestine where it stimulates the growth of probiotics and bifidobacteria by fermenting and creating the ideal conditions for microflora colonization. The enzyme yeast cleanse is beneficial for the breaking down of dead and decaying yeast. This allows the body to remove the toxic yeast before it has a chance to ferment and release chemicals such as formaldehyde that are known to cause uncomfortable detox symptoms.
There is a single layer of cells between the bloodstream and the digestive waste products in our intestines. When the intestines are inhabited with normal, healthy bacterial flora, this close proximity is not a problem. The powerful digestive immune system is designed to swiftly remove toxins when a threat to the body is detected. The more waste that accumulates from a poor diet, low-grade inflammation, and/or abnormal or pathogenic bacteria, the bigger the challenge to determine what is helpful or harmful. The result of waste accumulating in the intestines will increase immune complexing and autoimmune reactivity throughout the body. Syntol directly addresses these causative factors with proteolytic enzymes and probiotics to break down harmful proteins and yeast, remove pathogens and normalize intestinal bacterial flora.
Syntol contains 3 Billion CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of various non-competing strains of bacteria. One of these strains is the potent B. subtilis that is a spore forming bacteria. Spore germination is a dependable means of delivering healthy flora to the intestine in less than ideal conditions. Most bacteria are susceptible to any acidic pH range, mainly thriving in the more alkaline lower GI, but spores are able to withstand a broader range of variables in regards to pH and temperature ranges. This improves the chances that the probiotic strain will properly germinate and begin the process of restoring intestinal balance.
Candida Case Study
Study Shows Syntol Natural Anti-fungal Kills Yeast without Side Effects
There's good news for both men and women wanting to support healthy candida levels.* Syntol AMD a new enzyme-based probiotic formula, aids in promoting normal systemic candida amounts without the occasional discomfort associated with cleanses.* Herbal cleanses can be effective, but often cause undesirable die-off symptoms.* Researchers specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added to our Syntol® formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away.* Syntol uses very specific enzymes and probiotic strains, selected for their cleansing and immune enhancing properties.* These probiotics produce peroxide and other substances that are toxic to yeast.* Syntol is one of the only gentle yeast cleanses on the market.*
About Candidiasis
If left untreated, an overgrowth of intestinal Candida albicans can become parasitic, robbing the body of vital nutrients in addition to developing rhizoids (plant-like roots) that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. Rhizoids can eventually lead to leaky gut syndrome (LGS), which involves the dispersion of undigested food and microscopic bowel particulates seeping into the bloodstream. Aside from the candida, leaky gut can trigger a destructive pro-inflammatory autoimmune response.*
Candida in the Blood
“Current medical thought is that if candida exists at all in the blood then participants are suffering from serious medical illness and are near death,” Dr. Bajon says. “Nearly 80 percent of the people who come to see me have at least trace amounts of circulating Candida albicans in their blood, proving at least to me that blood isn’t at all sterile. These people are very uncomfortable with effects on their neurological, emotional, and gastrointestinal systems, but they are far from death,” he adds. The number-one cause of candidiasis is the overuse of prescription antibiotics. Antibiotics, while killing harmful bacteria, also kill the healthy intestinal bacteria that normally keep yeast in check. Yeast thrives on sugars and complex and refined carbohydrates, which simply add fuel to the fire. Dr. Bajon explains, “Although complex carbohydrates and fruits high in fructose are a healthy addition to a high fiber diet, many people are intolerant to such foods. Intolerance to these healthy carbohydrates is referred to as complex carbohydrate intolerance or CCI. CCI can lead to uncomfortable and embarrassing gastroenterological symptoms. Many nutritionists believe that it’s the gluten fractions in these foods that affect the immune systems. CCI and even celiac disease sufferers can further aggravate a leaky gut with sugar and carbs. These foods stimulate unfriendly critters like candida to multiply in the gut.”*
The Study
Dr. Bajon was the leading researcher on the latest study on Syntol, formulated to be the first and only “gentle” yeast cleanse of its kind. The study involved an in-depth analysis of live blood samples in participants suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of candidiasis. Using the Crook Candida Yeast Test by Dr. William G. Crook, an authority in the area of candida yeast infections, Dr. Bajon screened some 20 participants before selecting his ideal test patients. After scoring the test results, he evaluated the nine participants who likely had the highest instance of candida based on their scores. The live blood analysis was performed at 1,000 magnifications and enlarged to over 10,000 times. Dr. Bajon selected the most severe cases to complete the study. The participants were divided into three groups of two—moderate, severe, and extreme. They were given 6, 9, and 12 Syntol capsules daily respectively for a period of 45 days. Each participant returned every 2 weeks for follow-up blood analysis and to quantify the regression of candida concentrations in the blood. No placebo or other drugs were administered during the study.*
Results
The study showed that the use of Syntol significantly reduced and sometimes completely eliminated Candida albicans in the bloodstream. Participants showed significant improvements in:
Gastrointestinal symptoms including abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, burping/flatulence, stomach discomfort, and acid reflux.*
Toxicity symptoms including headaches, excessive fatigue, muscle weakness, insomnia, low sex drive, chronic pain, and blurred and spotted vision.*
Emotional health including anxiety, mood swings, irritability, inability to think clearly or concentrate, and poor memory.*
Food cravings including sweets, lack of satiety, and general over-eating.*
“We had some great results,” Dr. Bajon reports. “Most importantly, Syntol killed candida gently without a die-off or lash back. Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added into the Syntol formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away.
“Fermenting yeast can produce 79 distinct toxins including acetylaldehydes. Acetylaldehydes are toxic chemicals similar to formaldehyde that accumulate in joints, muscles, spinal and brain tissues,” says Dr. Stephan Cooter, PhD, in his book Beating Chronic Disease. Anti-fungal drugs kill yeast, but leave it to die inside the body that can produce toxins and flu-like symptoms. Fermenting yeast can quickly be eliminated and digested with certain enzymes.
Candida Participant Before Syntol
High concentrations of Candida, shown as mold clumps and surrounded by white irregularly shaped dots (elevated white blood cells), were seen in the plasma. Patient had serious symptoms such as chronic fatigue, poor memory, dizziness, muscle pain, vaginal yeast with itching, burning and rashes, blurred and spotted vision, abdominal bloating and insomnia. Patient also craved for sweets.
Candida Participant 45 Days After Syntol
Blood plasma was observed to be free of Candida albicans and has normal white blood cells (fighter cells). Patient noticed an increase in energy levels, higher than what was attained in 10 years. Itching, burning and appearance of rashes lessened. Normal vision and digestion were observed. Patient lost approximately 12 pounds and craving for foods with high sugar content diminished. Patient sleeps soundly and wakes up more refreshed with less foul odor in the mouth.
Syntol and Yeast
Syntol promotes a healthy balance of Candida albicans while delivering healthy bacteria to the gut without the Herxheimer reaction. Yeast can trick the body into craving simple carbohydrates and sugar, which can create havoc on individuals trying to make healthy food choices and manage weight. Daily supplementation of Syntol AMD may support a shift away from dietary carbohydrates and sugar preferences. “It is hoped that the results of the study will provide valuable information to individuals and clinicians on the effectiveness of Syntol AMD supplementation,” concludes Dr. Bajon.
Long-term Results
After 45 days using the therapeutic protocol set up by Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, all participants showed virtually zero or trace amounts of candida in their blood. Symptomatic side effects had all been abated and virtually no symptoms of candida were further experienced by all participants. Some of the participants noticed a significant weight loss as a result of reduced food cravings. The study proved to be an important documented breakthrough in our learning more about naturally and effectively controlling this insidious organism.
Suggested Use

How long does it take for Syntol to work?
Typically, supplementing the product for a minimum of a month's time is recommended, with the best results occurring anywhere from one to two months thereafter.
Can I use Syntol while I am taking antibiotics?
Some doctors feel it is best to wait until an antibiotic regimen is over before taking a probiotic supplement, however there is no evidence that probiotic supplementation is dangerous or will somehow negatively impact the efficacy of the prescription. Opinions do vary, and some doctors will actually encourage their patients to take probiotics while on antibiotics. For this reason it is always best to contact your healthcare provider with inquiries regarding your prescription drugs prior to taking dietary supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Syntol?
Syntol AMD is a powerful combination of non-competing probiotics and prebiotics that facilitate an extremely oxygen-rich environment, preventing the growth of yeast colonies and providing the perfect conditions for indigenous bacterial growth. In addition, Syntol AMD also contains a powerful enzyme blend that is capable of removing dead yeast, bad bacteria and toxins from the body.
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are medically referred to as a group of “friendly bacteria”, or “microflora”. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria and pathogens, and inhibit the negative effects of constant antibiotic overexposure.
What are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are essentially the food source for probiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that pass through your digestive tract until they reach the large intestine, where they then feed the beneficial microflora. Supplementing with a prebiotic such as IMO (contained in Syntol) on its own has been clinically shown to increase the body's levels of natural microflora. Supplementing prebiotics together with probiotics provides one's body with the best opportunity to regain gastrointestinal and immune health.
Why Syntol?
Syntol contains 3.4 billion CFU’s of 100% complementary microflora and spore-germinating probiotics per capsule. To stimulate the growth and activity of the probiotics, IMO, a non-digestible fiber has been added as a prebiotic. In addition to beneficial microflora, Syntol also contains a powerful enzyme blend designed to clear yeast and other unwanted debris out of the intestinal tract, making Syntol much stronger than competing yeast cleanses on the market. Syntol is the only of its kind, containing prebiotics, probiotics and an enzyme blend all in one capsule.
How Does Syntol Work?
Syntol AMD uses spore germination technology, a revolutionary new process that delivers probiotic spores rather than living bacteria. Probiotic spores are dormant life forms that protect the bacteria from acidic conditions, as well as extreme heat and cold. These spores, along with the potent probiotics, attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal mucosa and begin to germinate, allowing for complete microflora colonization. In addition, the enzyme yeast cleanse will help to break down any dead fungus or toxic materials remaining in the intestinal tract, allowing for a complete eradication of unwanted debris.
What is Candida?
Various strains of candida are naturally found in the human body. With healthy levels of microflora, these yeast strains live in perfect harmony within the intestine, however, poor diet and other factors can cause candida overgrowth. Some doctors argue that 60 to 80 percent of the US population may be affected by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. Eventually, these yeast strains can begin to turn “parasitic”, robbing our bodies of our resources for their own benefit.
Over time, Candida can begin developing plantlike roots that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. These roots can dig deep enough to cause permeability (leakage) in the intestinal tract and allow toxic material to flow into the blood. Candida is comprised of an outer protective protein layer and primarily cellulose and N-acetyl-glucosamine (Chitin) under it, making it very difficult for the body to break down and eliminate naturally. Syntol contains a powerful enzyme blend necessary to strip away the protective protein shell and begin digesting the cellular infrastructure of the Candida.
Do I Need To Take Syntol Forever?
For therapeutic benefit, most people find that a minimum of one month of supplementation is necessary, with the best results occurring one to two months thereafter. Many people find that a maintenance dose of Syntol is a great addition to their daily regimen to keep their body in balance once healthy.
Does Syntol Need To Be Refrigerated?
Refrigeration of Syntol is not necessary. The advanced spore germination technology and freeze dried bacterial strains allow for a shelf stable product. However, it is important to store probiotics in a cool and dry place.
Is Syntol Safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol.

KD Ultra 90caps (Arthur Andrew Medical)
£48.00
KD Ultra combines vegan-sourced Vitamin D3, a full-spectrum blend of Vitamin K, and the enzyme lipase to support strong bones, cardiovascular health and immune function.
Vitamins K and D have a synergistic relationship that promotes strong bones and cardiovascular health. If you don’t include both in your supplement routine, you could be missing out! According to a research study, health professionals increased testing for Vitamin D sevenfold between 2008 and 2013, and it’s thought that over 1 billion people are deficient in this vital nutrient. In addition, adequate vitamin K is actually necessary to get the health benefits we’ve all come to know about vitamin D.
That’s why we formulated KD Ultra to include everything you need for broad-spectrum benefits in a single supplement.
KD Ultra combines 2500 IUs of vegan Vitamin D3 with a fullspectrum blend of the available Vitamin K2 chains (referred to as menaquinones) MK4, MK6, MK7 and MK 9 (MKs) as well as Vitamin K1 for the ultimate health benefits of each component.
However, because Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble (meaning they dissolve in fat), we added the enzyme [lipase] to break down ingested fats, allowing your body to properly release the vitamins from fat and absorb them efficiently. That means no more missing out on all the perks of taking your vitamins!
BONE AND JOINT
Everyone knows the importance of calcium for healthy bones, but how important are Vitamins K and D?
There are many factors that can impact the bone health of millions of American adults, which can lead to fragile bones and high fracture risk. Vitamin K2 plays an essential role in overall bone health through its involvement in the production of bone proteins. One such protein is osteocalcin (OC), a Vitamin K-dependent protein (VKPD) produced during bone formation by specialized bone cells called osteoblasts. VKDPs are involved in blood coagulation, bone metabolism, and prevention of blood vessel hardening. OC depends on Vitamin K for a vital chemical modification called carboxylation. Low Vitamin K intake results in inadequate levels of carboxylated OC, which is linked to decreased bone health and density.
Vitamin D is essential for strong bones as well because it helps the body use calcium from diet and supplementation appropriately. Low levels of Vitamin D have been associated with soft and brittle bones and are likely due to the fact that without D, the body can only absorb between 10-15% of its dietary calcium. Adequate levels of Vitamin D help the body with calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function.
HEART HEALTH
The Importance of Vitamin K2 in Cardiovascular Health
Vitamin K2s various menaquinones (MKs) may also play an essential role in cardiovascular health. The buildup of calcium in blood vessel walls, known as calcification, reduces their flexibility and increases the risk of cardiovascular complications. Matrix Gla-protein (MGP), a critical VitaminK-dependent protein, helps prevent calcium buildup in blood vessels. However, MGP relies on Vitamin K to function properly. Thus, adequate Vitamin K intake is essential for supporting MGP function and its resulting impact on vascular and cardiovascular health. A high intake of Vitamin K is associated with reduced blood vessel calcification and a reduced risk of cardiovascular issues. Accordingly, a high intake of MKs, particularly MK7 and MK9, is thought to protect the heart. MK7 is also specifically associated with decreased blood vessel stiffness.
Studies have suggested other potential roles of MKs, as Vitamin K is a crucial component in proper blood clotting. Without enough Vitamin K, excessive bleeding can occur, particularly during injury or surgery. Anticoagulants such as warfarin block the activity of Vitamin K, so individuals taking these medications need to maintain consistent Vitamin K intake through diet or supplement use. Current research suggests that long-chain MKs such as MK7 have a more significant impact on normal blood coagulation than K1 or MK4, while MK4 is thought to be superior for bone health. Therefore, a full-spectrum Vitamin K product is important, as not all Vitamin K is created equally.
IMMUNE
Essential Vitamins for Effective Immune System Support
Vitamin D is often overlooked when it comes to its effects on the immune system. This is largely due to the fact that most people think they have adequate levels under the assumption that they are getting it through sunlight. Although Vitamin D can be obtained naturally through sun exposure, several factors make it challenging to get enough of this vital nutrient from the sun alone. Season, time of day, day length, cloud cover, smog, shade, sunblock, and geographic region all impact UVB exposure and the potential for Vitamin D production. Age and skin color also impact Vitamin D production; dark-skinned individuals produce less Vitamin D than their light-skinned counterparts. Additionally, the skin of older adults does not produce as much Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as skin in younger people. Due to these numerous issues, over 40% of people are thought to be deficient in Vitamin D.
Cod liver oil, a rich source of Vitamin D, has been widely utilized for centuries to increase protection from infections. It is also thought to be the reason why Scandinavian countries have a very low incidence of Vitamin D deficiency despite the fact that they are located in very high latitudes where the sun is less able to provide the proper UVB rays for natural Vitamin D production. Studies have demonstrated that those with healthy Vitamin D levels had a lesser instance of respiratory infections than those with sufficient levels, even after adjusting for variables such as gender, age, season and race.
Vitamin D is not very prevalent in foods outside of seafood and dairy products (and dairy products are fortified with D2 (more on that below), so the vitamin D is not even naturally occurring), and until recently was not available from a plant source. KD Ultra offers a broad-spectrum Vitamin K2 blend as well as 2,500 IUs of vegan-friendly sourced D3 per capsule.
INGREDIENTS
Vitamin D3
Our formula includes vegan vitamin D3 (the natural form produced by the skin upon exposure to sunlight) from reindeer lichen. Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorous levels to form and maintain strong bones. It also plays a role in calcium absorption, bone health, immunity, muscular function and inflammation.
What is the difference between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3?
These two forms of Vitamin D were thought to be equivalent, however, that is far from the truth. Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, is inexpensive to produce and almost always what is found in forti-fied foods. It is actually less potent and has a shorter duration of action than its Vitamin D3 counterpart known as cholecalciferol.
What are lichens you ask?
Lichens are naturally occurring organisms found throughout the world and can best be described as a fungi-algae sandwich, two different organisms that live together as one. The fungi actually protect the algae which allows lichens to grow in some of the most extreme environments the world can offer.
A majority of supplemental Vitamin D3 is chemically stripped from lanolin, a yellow waxy oil found in sheep’s wool and then irradiated to produce D3. KD Ultra uses a naturally derived D3 from lichen, a much cleaner and natural form of this vital nutrient.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K comes in many forms and is essential for proper Vitamin D utilization. Our formula includes Vitamin K1 as well as all available supplemental forms of Vitamin K2 (MK4, MK6, MK7 and MK9) for full-spectrum health benefits. Vitamin K supports proper blood clotting, strong bones and reduced blood vessel calcification for improved cardiovascular health.
Lipase
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids (fats) and fat-soluble vitamins. Without enough lipase, fats cannot be fully broken down and properly absorbed by the body. This may limit the benefits you expect to get from taking your vitamins. Lipase is essential for complete vitamin assimilation, which is why we have included it in our proprietary formula.

FAQS
How do vitamins K and D work together to provide health benefits?
Vitamin D has been found to support bone heath and a well-functioning cardiovascular system. But to get the greatest results from taking Vitamin D, you also need Vitamin K.
Vitamin D promotes the production of Vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs), which serve essential roles in bone growth and the vascular system. Vitamin K is necessary for carboxylation, a chemical alteration, of two specific VKDPs: osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP).
According to the International Journal of Endocrinology, carboxylation of MGP helps to mitigate calcium buildup in blood vessels, supporting a healthy cardiovascular system. Osteocalcin carboxylation supports bone density, a key factor in minimizing the likelihood of future bone issues.
Studies have also shown that taking Vitamins D and K together results in lower levels of uncarboxylated osteocalcin and increased bone density. This demonstrates that the Vitamin D-K duo are more effective in supporting bone health than supplementing with Vitamin K alone.
To ensure bioavailability of both Vitamins D and K, your body needs enough of the enzyme lipase to properly assimilate these fat-soluble vitamins. Thankfully, KD Ultra contains it all!
What are the different forms of vitamin K2 in KD Ultra?
Vitamin K2 refers to a group of compounds known scientifically as menaquinones (MKs). Several different forms of Vitamin K2 exist, ranging from MK4 to MK13, and each provides unique health benefits. Think of these similar to the different variations of B vitamins, where each vitamin has a different function within the body and the complete complex is important for optimal health.
The number following the MK refers to the length of the “chain” in its chemical composition (e.g. MK4 is a 4-chain K2). MK4 is most commonly found in the Western diet while high levels of MK7 are found in the Japanese food natto.
KD Ultra includes all four of the currently available supplemental forms of Vitamin K2: MK4, MK6, MK7 and MK9.
As if K2 needed to be further complicated, two variations of MK7 (isomers) exist and are known as Trans and Cis. The isomer is basically just the shape of the molecule and impacts the absorbability within the body (among other things). Trans MK7 is what is found in foods and nature, while Cis is not found in nature and may not offer any of the benefits of Trans MK7. KD Ultra contains all-Trans MK7.
Why do I need to take Vitamin D, don’t I get it from the sun?
Although Vitamin D can be obtained naturally through sunlight exposure, several factors make it challenging to get enough from the sun alone. Season, time of day, day length, cloud cover, smog, shade, and geographic region all impact UVB exposure and the potential for Vitamin D production. Age and skin color also impact Vitamin D production. The skin of older adults does not produce as much Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as skin in younger people. Also, the kidneys are less capable of converting Vitamin D into its active form as people age. Individuals with dark skin have a lower ability to produce Vitamin D from the sun due to higher melanin levels in the skin, which blocks UVB absorption. In addition, due to the risk of skin cancer, daily sunscreen use and protective clothing are recommended by dermatologists, both of which block UVB exposure and limit Vitamin D production.
Does KD Ultra support dental health?
It has been shown that Vitamin K2 plays a key role in the development and maintenance of healthy tooth enamel and the immune response within dentin. Without K2, calcium cannot be adequately processed in our bodies, and that includes both bones and teeth. Additionally, Vitamin D3 aids in the absorption of calcium throughout the body.
Is KD Ultra safe to use in combination with prescription blood-thinning medications?
You should always check with your healthcare provider prior to taking any new dietary supplements in combination with a prescription. However, KD Ultra contains Vitamin K, and since many prescription medications for blood-thinning are designed to block Vitamin K activity, it is imperative you speak with the prescribing physician prior to taking KD Ultra if you are prescribed these types of medications.
Is KD Ultra Kosher?
The formula is Kosher, and a copy of the certification is available by request .
Is KD Ultra vegan friendly?
The formula is vegetarian and vegan in accordance with the guidelines of the AMERICAN VEGETAR-IAN ASSOCIATION.

Nattovena 90caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (Nattokinase supplement)
£30.00
Nattovena is the world’s first ultra-concentrated 4,000 FU pure nattokinase dietary supplement, in easy-to-swallow micro-caps. Nattovena contains ultra-refined, pharmaceutical grade, acid stable nattokinase.
Nattovena's potency is unparalleled in its class. The standard for nattokinase manufacturing is a potency of up to 2,000 FU’s, or fibrinolytic units, of fibrin degrading activity per capsule. Nattovéna has broken the mold by providing 4,000 FU’s of activity, or double the ordinary dose, offering the strongest nattokinase activity per capsule, period.
Nattovena is specifically formulated to address fibrin imbalances in the body. Fibrin is a protein that plays a major role in blood clotting and scar formation, making it an essential component of the healing process and vital for maintaining our health and general well-being. However, fibrin overproduction and impaired fibrin degradation has been implicated in many of today’s most common circulatory health concerns.
What is Nattokinase?
Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic (fibrin-dissolving) enzyme originally discovered within a Japanese fermented soybean food called natto. The dish consists of soybeans fermented with a strain of Bacillus subtilis bacteria that in turn produce the enzyme, which upon its discovery was later named after the respective dish. The fermented dish, natto, has a slimy texture, sour taste and strong smell that is very unappealing to some. Despite its questionable taste, natto has been shown in numerous studies to have many health benefits. For its use in nutritional supplements, the nattokinase enzyme is extracted and purified in a laboratory setting.
Nattovena provides twice the potency of ordinary nattokinase products available and is naturally acid stable in the stomach since it is derived from a food source. This gives Nattovena the added benefit of not having to use an enteric coating or plastic to protect it from stomach acid. Nattovena’s formula contains the highest Fibrinolytic Unit (FU) activity among the major brands of nattokinase supplements, allowing it to hydrolyze 4,000 units of fibrin per capsule, thereby optimizing its cardiovascular benefits and promoting normal blood viscosity.
How Does Nattokinase Work?
Fibrin is naturally produced in the body by a protein called thrombin and is degraded by the body's own fibrinolytic enzyme, plasmin. Fibrin is typically produced during the recovery and healing processes caused by injury or other health concerns. Usually, these processes exist in a delicate balance; however, many conditions can impair fibrin degradation and lead to excessive levels of fibrin within the body. Nattokinase supplementation can tip the balance back in favor of fibrin removal using two different mechanisms.
Firstly, nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme, which means that it can literally dissolve excessive fibrin produced during the healing process. In fact, studies show that nattokinase is actually four times (4x) more potent than the body’s own plasmin in terms of fibrinolytic activity1. Secondly, nattokinase blocks the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which boosts its fibrinolytic capabilities even more. High levels of PAI-1 are directly linked to impaired fibrin degradation and removal, since PAI-1 blocks the body’s natural production of plasmin. By impeding PAI-1, nattokinase promotes the creation of more plasmin from plasminogen (its building block), increasing the amount of natural fibrinolytic enzymes created within the body2.
Suggested Use
Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times daily on an empty stomach. Higher doses may be taken as needed, but it is recommended to not exceed 15 capsules in any 24-hour period unless otherwise directed by a healthcare practitioner.
WARNING: Do not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking blood thinning medications or if you are pregnant or nursing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Nattovena do?
Studies have demonstrated that nattokinase improves overall circulation, promotes healthy blood viscosity, promotes healthy clotting factors, keeps blood cells from sticking together, and maintains blood pressure levels already within normal range.*
How does it work?
Nattovena supports normal clot formation by maintaining normal levels of blood coagulation factors.* It also supports normal clot breakdown by maintaining normal fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) activity, due to its ability to also increase the production of the body's inherent fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin.*
Why is fibrinolytic activity important?
Fibrin is a vital protein that forms in response to trauma, injury, or even in cases of autoimmune conditions. The body can not only overproduce fibrin in these instances, but can also produce fibrin when there is no trauma or injury, which can lead to a bevy of unwanted symptoms. Fibrinolytic activity is the body’s natural way of breaking up excessive fibrin and unwanted clots.
Is Nattovena safe?
Nattokinase is derived from natto, which has been a regular food staple within Asian cuisine for centuries. Although nattokinase has many benefits, studies have shown that it also does not have demonstrative side effects, and the ingredient is considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) within the US.
Does Nattovena have value beyond just heart health?
Due to the vast array of unhealthy conditions that excessive fibrin can bring, Nattovena has far greater value than a simple cardiovascular support product. Many aspects of health, from muscle recovery, to immune and joint health are directly related to fibrin and blood viscosity.*
Is Nattovena safe to use in combination with prescription blood-thinning drug medication?
You should always check with your health care provider prior to taking any new dietary supplements in combination with a prescription. However, Nattovena does not contain any vitamin K, so it is assumed to be compatible with these medications since their mode of action is based on inhibiting vitamin K. Nattovena is not contraindicated with aspirin, natural supplements, or antihypertensive medications although medical supervision when implementing any new supplement regimen is always recommended.

Syntol 500mg 360caps (Arthur Andrew Medical) (prebiotic, probiotic formula)
£120.00
Syntol contains a combination of probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes to be the first and only gentle yeast cleanse of its kind.
Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast colonies, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Prebiotics are soluble fibers that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial flora. Syntol contains IMO as its prebiotic which is completely resistant to bodily digestion, able to pass safely through the stomach and into the intestine where it stimulates the growth of probiotics and bifidobacteria by fermenting and creating the ideal conditions for microflora colonization. The enzyme yeast cleanse is beneficial for the breaking down of dead and decaying yeast. This allows the body to remove the toxic yeast before it has a chance to ferment and release chemicals such as formaldehyde that are known to cause uncomfortable detox symptoms.
There is a single layer of cells between the bloodstream and the digestive waste products in our intestines. When the intestines are inhabited with normal, healthy bacterial flora, this close proximity is not a problem. The powerful digestive immune system is designed to swiftly remove toxins when a threat to the body is detected. The more waste that accumulates from a poor diet, low-grade inflammation, and/or abnormal or pathogenic bacteria, the bigger the challenge to determine what is helpful or harmful. The result of waste accumulating in the intestines will increase immune complexing and autoimmune reactivity throughout the body. Syntol directly addresses these causative factors with proteolytic enzymes and probiotics to break down harmful proteins and yeast, remove pathogens and normalize intestinal bacterial flora.
Syntol contains 3 Billion CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of various non-competing strains of bacteria. One of these strains is the potent B. subtilis that is a spore forming bacteria. Spore germination is a dependable means of delivering healthy flora to the intestine in less than ideal conditions. Most bacteria are susceptible to any acidic pH range, mainly thriving in the more alkaline lower GI, but spores are able to withstand a broader range of variables in regards to pH and temperature ranges. This improves the chances that the probiotic strain will properly germinate and begin the process of restoring intestinal balance.
Candida Case Study
Study Shows Syntol Natural Anti-fungal Kills Yeast without Side Effects
There's good news for both men and women wanting to support healthy candida levels.* Syntol AMD a new enzyme-based probiotic formula, aids in promoting normal systemic candida amounts without the occasional discomfort associated with cleanses.* Herbal cleanses can be effective, but often cause undesirable die-off symptoms.* Researchers specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added to our Syntol® formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away.* Syntol uses very specific enzymes and probiotic strains, selected for their cleansing and immune enhancing properties.* These probiotics produce peroxide and other substances that are toxic to yeast.* Syntol is one of the only gentle yeast cleanses on the market.*
About Candidiasis
If left untreated, an overgrowth of intestinal Candida albicans can become parasitic, robbing the body of vital nutrients in addition to developing rhizoids (plant-like roots) that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. Rhizoids can eventually lead to leaky gut syndrome (LGS), which involves the dispersion of undigested food and microscopic bowel particulates seeping into the bloodstream. Aside from the candida, leaky gut can trigger a destructive pro-inflammatory autoimmune response.*
Candida in the Blood
“Current medical thought is that if candida exists at all in the blood then participants are suffering from serious medical illness and are near death,” Dr. Bajon says. “Nearly 80 percent of the people who come to see me have at least trace amounts of circulating Candida albicans in their blood, proving at least to me that blood isn’t at all sterile. These people are very uncomfortable with effects on their neurological, emotional, and gastrointestinal systems, but they are far from death,” he adds. The number-one cause of candidiasis is the overuse of prescription antibiotics. Antibiotics, while killing harmful bacteria, also kill the healthy intestinal bacteria that normally keep yeast in check. Yeast thrives on sugars and complex and refined carbohydrates, which simply add fuel to the fire. Dr. Bajon explains, “Although complex carbohydrates and fruits high in fructose are a healthy addition to a high fiber diet, many people are intolerant to such foods. Intolerance to these healthy carbohydrates is referred to as complex carbohydrate intolerance or CCI. CCI can lead to uncomfortable and embarrassing gastroenterological symptoms. Many nutritionists believe that it’s the gluten fractions in these foods that affect the immune systems. CCI and even celiac disease sufferers can further aggravate a leaky gut with sugar and carbs. These foods stimulate unfriendly critters like candida to multiply in the gut.”*
The Study
Dr. Bajon was the leading researcher on the latest study on Syntol, formulated to be the first and only “gentle” yeast cleanse of its kind. The study involved an in-depth analysis of live blood samples in participants suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of candidiasis. Using the Crook Candida Yeast Test by Dr. William G. Crook, an authority in the area of candida yeast infections, Dr. Bajon screened some 20 participants before selecting his ideal test patients. After scoring the test results, he evaluated the nine participants who likely had the highest instance of candida based on their scores. The live blood analysis was performed at 1,000 magnifications and enlarged to over 10,000 times. Dr. Bajon selected the most severe cases to complete the study. The participants were divided into three groups of two—moderate, severe, and extreme. They were given 6, 9, and 12 Syntol capsules daily respectively for a period of 45 days. Each participant returned every 2 weeks for follow-up blood analysis and to quantify the regression of candida concentrations in the blood. No placebo or other drugs were administered during the study.*
Results
The study showed that the use of Syntol significantly reduced and sometimes completely eliminated Candida albicans in the bloodstream. Participants showed significant improvements in:
Gastrointestinal symptoms including abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, burping/flatulence, stomach discomfort, and acid reflux.*
Toxicity symptoms including headaches, excessive fatigue, muscle weakness, insomnia, low sex drive, chronic pain, and blurred and spotted vision.*
Emotional health including anxiety, mood swings, irritability, inability to think clearly or concentrate, and poor memory.*
Food cravings including sweets, lack of satiety, and general over-eating.*
“We had some great results,” Dr. Bajon reports. “Most importantly, Syntol killed candida gently without a die-off or lash back. Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added into the Syntol formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away.
“Fermenting yeast can produce 79 distinct toxins including acetylaldehydes. Acetylaldehydes are toxic chemicals similar to formaldehyde that accumulate in joints, muscles, spinal and brain tissues,” says Dr. Stephan Cooter, PhD, in his book Beating Chronic Disease. Anti-fungal drugs kill yeast, but leave it to die inside the body that can produce toxins and flu-like symptoms. Fermenting yeast can quickly be eliminated and digested with certain enzymes.
Candida Participant Before Syntol
High concentrations of Candida, shown as mold clumps and surrounded by white irregularly shaped dots (elevated white blood cells), were seen in the plasma. Patient had serious symptoms such as chronic fatigue, poor memory, dizziness, muscle pain, vaginal yeast with itching, burning and rashes, blurred and spotted vision, abdominal bloating and insomnia. Patient also craved for sweets.
Candida Participant 45 Days After Syntol
Blood plasma was observed to be free of Candida albicans and has normal white blood cells (fighter cells). Patient noticed an increase in energy levels, higher than what was attained in 10 years. Itching, burning and appearance of rashes lessened. Normal vision and digestion were observed. Patient lost approximately 12 pounds and craving for foods with high sugar content diminished. Patient sleeps soundly and wakes up more refreshed with less foul odor in the mouth.
Syntol and Yeast
Syntol promotes a healthy balance of Candida albicans while delivering healthy bacteria to the gut without the Herxheimer reaction. Yeast can trick the body into craving simple carbohydrates and sugar, which can create havoc on individuals trying to make healthy food choices and manage weight. Daily supplementation of Syntol AMD may support a shift away from dietary carbohydrates and sugar preferences. “It is hoped that the results of the study will provide valuable information to individuals and clinicians on the effectiveness of Syntol AMD supplementation,” concludes Dr. Bajon.
Long-term Results
After 45 days using the therapeutic protocol set up by Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, all participants showed virtually zero or trace amounts of candida in their blood. Symptomatic side effects had all been abated and virtually no symptoms of candida were further experienced by all participants. Some of the participants noticed a significant weight loss as a result of reduced food cravings. The study proved to be an important documented breakthrough in our learning more about naturally and effectively controlling this insidious organism.
Suggested Use
Directions: Take 1 to 4 capsules with 8 oz of water between meals or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For therapeutic results, take 3 or 4 capsules three times daily.

Is Syntol safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol.
When is the best time to take Syntol?
For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.
Can I take Syntol with other supplements?
Syntol can be used safely with other dietary supplements.
How long does it take for Syntol to work?
Typically, supplementing the product for a minimum of a month's time is recommended, with the best results occurring anywhere from one to two months thereafter.
Can I use Syntol while I am taking antibiotics?
Some doctors feel it is best to wait until an antibiotic regimen is over before taking a probiotic supplement, however there is no evidence that probiotic supplementation is dangerous or will somehow negatively impact the efficacy of the prescription. Opinions do vary, and some doctors will actually encourage their patients to take probiotics while on antibiotics. For this reason it is always best to contact your healthcare provider with inquiries regarding your prescription drugs prior to taking dietary supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Syntol?
Syntol AMD is a powerful combination of non-competing probiotics and prebiotics that facilitate an extremely oxygen-rich environment, preventing the growth of yeast colonies and providing the perfect conditions for indigenous bacterial growth. In addition, Syntol AMD also contains a powerful enzyme blend that is capable of removing dead yeast, bad bacteria and toxins from the body.
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are medically referred to as a group of “friendly bacteria”, or “microflora”. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria and pathogens, and inhibit the negative effects of constant antibiotic overexposure.
What are Prebiotics?
Prebiotics are essentially the food source for probiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that pass through your digestive tract until they reach the large intestine, where they then feed the beneficial microflora. Supplementing with a prebiotic such as IMO (contained in Syntol) on its own has been clinically shown to increase the body's levels of natural microflora. Supplementing prebiotics together with probiotics provides one's body with the best opportunity to regain gastrointestinal and immune health.
Why Syntol?
Syntol contains 3.4 billion CFU’s of 100% complementary microflora and spore-germinating probiotics per capsule. To stimulate the growth and activity of the probiotics, IMO, a non-digestible fiber has been added as a prebiotic. In addition to beneficial microflora, Syntol also contains a powerful enzyme blend designed to clear yeast and other unwanted debris out of the intestinal tract, making Syntol much stronger than competing yeast cleanses on the market. Syntol is the only of its kind, containing prebiotics, probiotics and an enzyme blend all in one capsule.
How Does Syntol Work?
Syntol AMD uses spore germination technology, a revolutionary new process that delivers probiotic spores rather than living bacteria. Probiotic spores are dormant life forms that protect the bacteria from acidic conditions, as well as extreme heat and cold. These spores, along with the potent probiotics, attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal mucosa and begin to germinate, allowing for complete microflora colonization. In addition, the enzyme yeast cleanse will help to break down any dead fungus or toxic materials remaining in the intestinal tract, allowing for a complete eradication of unwanted debris.
What is Candida?
Various strains of candida are naturally found in the human body. With healthy levels of microflora, these yeast strains live in perfect harmony within the intestine, however, poor diet and other factors can cause candida overgrowth. Some doctors argue that 60 to 80 percent of the US population may be affected by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. Eventually, these yeast strains can begin to turn “parasitic”, robbing our bodies of our resources for their own benefit.
Over time, Candida can begin developing plantlike roots that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. These roots can dig deep enough to cause permeability (leakage) in the intestinal tract and allow toxic material to flow into the blood. Candida is comprised of an outer protective protein layer and primarily cellulose and N-acetyl-glucosamine (Chitin) under it, making it very difficult for the body to break down and eliminate naturally. Syntol contains a powerful enzyme blend necessary to strip away the protective protein shell and begin digesting the cellular infrastructure of the Candida.
Do I Need To Take Syntol Forever?
For therapeutic benefit, most people find that a minimum of one month of supplementation is necessary, with the best results occurring one to two months thereafter. Many people find that a maintenance dose of Syntol is a great addition to their daily regimen to keep their body in balance once healthy.
Does Syntol Need To Be Refrigerated?
Refrigeration of Syntol is not necessary. The advanced spore germination technology and freeze dried bacterial strains allow for a shelf stable product. However, it is important to store probiotics in a cool and dry place.
Is Syntol Safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol.

Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic (fibrin-dissolving) enzyme originally discovered within a Japanese fermented soybean food called natto. The dish consists of soybeans fermented with a strain of Bacillus subtilis bacteria that in turn produce the enzyme, which upon its discovery was later named after the respective dish. The fermented dish, natto, has a slimy texture, sour taste and strong smell that is very unappealing to some. Despite its questionable taste, natto has been shown in numerous studies to have many health benefits. For its use in nutritional supplements, the nattokinase enzyme is extracted and purified in a laboratory setting.
Nattovena provides twice the potency of ordinary nattokinase products available and is naturally acid stable in the stomach since it is derived from a food source. This gives Nattovena the added benefit of not having to use an enteric coating or plastic to protect it from stomach acid. Nattovena’s formula contains the highest Fibrinolytic Unit (FU) activity among the major brands of nattokinase supplements, allowing it to hydrolyze 4,000 units of fibrin per capsule, thereby optimizing its cardiovascular benefits and promoting normal blood viscosity.
How Does Nattokinase Work?
Fibrin is naturally produced in the body by a protein called thrombin and is degraded by the body's own fibrinolytic enzyme, plasmin. Fibrin is typically produced during the recovery and healing processes caused by injury or other health concerns. Usually, these processes exist in a delicate balance; however, many conditions can impair fibrin degradation and lead to excessive levels of fibrin within the body. Nattokinase supplementation can tip the balance back in favor of fibrin removal using two different mechanisms.
Firstly, nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme, which means that it can literally dissolve excessive fibrin produced during the healing process. In fact, studies show that nattokinase is actually four times (4x) more potent than the body’s own plasmin in terms of fibrinolytic activity1. Secondly, nattokinase blocks the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which boosts its fibrinolytic capabilities even more. High levels of PAI-1 are directly linked to impaired fibrin degradation and removal, since PAI-1 blocks the body’s natural production of plasmin. By impeding PAI-1, nattokinase promotes the creation of more plasmin from plasminogen (its building block), increasing the amount of natural fibrinolytic enzymes created within the body2.
Suggested Use
Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times daily on an empty stomach. Higher doses may be taken as needed, but it is recommended to not exceed 15 capsules in any 24-hour period unless otherwise directed by a healthcare practitioner.
WARNING: Do not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking blood thinning medications or if you are pregnant or nursing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Nattovena do?
Studies have demonstrated that nattokinase improves overall circulation, promotes healthy blood viscosity, promotes healthy clotting factors, keeps blood cells from sticking together, and maintains blood pressure levels already within normal range.*
How does it work?
Nattovena supports normal clot formation by maintaining normal levels of blood coagulation factors.* It also supports normal clot breakdown by maintaining normal fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) activity, due to its ability to also increase the production of the body's inherent fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin.*
Why is fibrinolytic activity important?
Fibrin is a vital protein that forms in response to trauma, injury, or even in cases of autoimmune conditions. The body can not only overproduce fibrin in these instances, but can also produce fibrin when there is no trauma or injury, which can lead to a bevy of unwanted symptoms. Fibrinolytic activity is the body’s natural way of breaking up excessive fibrin and unwanted clots.
Is Nattovena safe?
Nattokinase is derived from natto, which has been a regular food staple within Asian cuisine for centuries. Although nattokinase has many benefits, studies have shown that it also does not have demonstrative side effects, and the ingredient is considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) within the US.
Does Nattovena have value beyond just heart health?
Due to the vast array of unhealthy conditions that excessive fibrin can bring, Nattovena has far greater value than a simple cardiovascular support product. Many aspects of health, from muscle recovery, to immune and joint health are directly related to fibrin and blood viscosity.*
Is Nattovena safe to use in combination with prescription blood-thinning drug medication?
You should always check with your health care provider prior to taking any new dietary supplements in combination with a prescription. However, Nattovena does not contain any vitamin K, so it is assumed to be compatible with these medications since their mode of action is based on inhibiting vitamin K. Nattovena is not contraindicated with aspirin, natural supplements, or antihypertensive medications although medical supervision when implementing any new supplement regimen is always recommended.
