Joints (Head To Toe Targeting)

RECOVER (Muscle & Joint Formula) Description RECOVER Muscle & Joint Formula is a daily therapeutic that may relieve arthritic aches, myositis (muscle pain), and joint discomfort commonly associated with ageing. This formula is ideal for athletes and active individuals — including athletic animals — and may be used before and/or after sports or physical activity. RECOVER may also help reduce muscle and joint pain caused by overuse or advancing age. All CODE formulas are infused with electrical information (bio-energy patterns) that instruct malfunctioning cells on how to repair themselves, effectively reprogramming cellular function with the correct energetic signals. Suggested Use People: Place 1 drop* under the tongue, twice daily (AM/PM)**, or as directed by your healthcare professional. For best results, avoid swallowing for 15 seconds and refrain from eating or drinking for 5 minutes after use. Animals: Place 1 drop* in the lip or on a favourite treat, twice daily (AM/PM)**, or as advised by your veterinarian. *Suggested dosage for all people and animals regardless of weight.**May take an additional drop if symptoms persist. Servings 15mL (0.5oz) bottle: approximately 300 one-drop servings 3mL (0.1oz) bottle: approximately 60 one-drop servings Ingredients Saline Solution (Structured with bio-energy patterns) This product was tested in the following COA report:1213039-Recover (Report Date: May 14, 2024) (opens in a new tab) General FAQs from Code Health Healthy Cells Make Healthy PeopleYour body is made up of 70 trillion cells; their job is to protect you, help you heal, and keep you healthy. CODE restores disrupted communication among and within cells, bringing balance to the body with natural, non-toxic formulas. Safe for people and animals. What is the body’s energy system? The energy system is made up of energy centres and energy channels (called chakras and meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine) through which energy flows. How does the body’s energy system work? The energy system works like the “software” of the body. It is the “operating programme” providing energetic instructions for all biological, chemical, and psychological processes. Balancing and regulating the energy system is essential for maintaining health. What happens when the body’s energy system is disrupted? The energy system is like a highway. Just as an accident stops traffic flow, the energy system can become stagnant or backed-up. When energy flow is imbalanced, illness and disease may result. How do CODE formulas and products work? Based on subtle body concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we suggest that specific frequency signalling from CODE formulas is picked up by “subtle” receptors in the body, translating into information necessary for biological processes. Can I take CODE if I am taking Rx medications? Yes. CODE products have one ingredient: normal saline solution. Some people report being able to reduce medications after starting CODE. Results vary based on the individual. Is it safe for infants, small children, and the elderly? Yes. It is safe for people of all ages and animals too. Can I take multiple formulas? Yes. Different formulas are taken for different reasons. Many work synergistically. Take 1 drop at a time, wait 15 seconds between drops, and avoid eating or drinking for 5 minutes afterward. How does it work if there’s only 1 ingredient, saline solution? The formulas are infused with frequencies (encoded energy patterns). These codes communicate between your healthy and unhealthy cells. The saline solution acts as the carrier for the healthy code. What do I do if I have an adverse reaction? If anyone experiences a negative reaction, discontinue use immediately. As with allopathic or holistic medicine, not every product suits every individual. Do the products expire? Yes. Each bottle has a 3-year expiration date from the time of manufacturing. Are products affected by cell phones, computers, or other devices? No. Is the product still good if left in a hot car during summer? CODE products are stable at purse, refrigerator, and pocket temperatures. However, if boiled, they are destroyed. Where are CODE products made? CODE products are made in the USA. Can I return products after they have been opened? No. Only unopened products may be returned or exchanged. What is a bioenergetic therapeutic? Bioenergetic therapies use energy to affect biology. CODE products help correct imbalances in the body. What is biohacking? Biohacking uses biology, neuroscience, genetics, and nutrition to optimise health or achieve goals like stress relief or weight loss. It may include wearable devices and frequencies to help the body work smarter. How many products do you have and what do they do? CODE offers 10 proprietary formulas designed to restore cellular communication. These formulas support joint health, metabolism, immune support, allergy support, mood support and sleep support. Why is CODE the modern medicine cabinet? CODE formulas are a drug-free, non-toxic alternative to over-the-counter and prescription medicines. They are safe for all ages and animals. What kind of research is CODE backed by? The molecular information behind CODE has been studied for 40 years. Visit the “LEARN” tab on the CODE website for more. How many times a day should I take each product? Results vary. Take 1 drop at a time, waiting 30–60 minutes before another drop of the same formula. Wait 15 seconds between different formulas and 5 minutes before eating or drinking. Note: AV requires a specific protocol. Should I take the drops on an empty stomach or with food? You can take the drops on an empty stomach at least 5 minutes before eating or drinking, or after your meal. How do I give CODE to my pets or horses? Add 1 drop to morning/evening meals, or place it on a treat if more drops are needed throughout the day. Is the dosage based on weight? No. CODE products are not dependent on mass or weight. The same 1 drop works for a 5 lb chihuahua, a 200 lb person, or a 1500 lb horse. How soon will I feel the drops take effect? Results may vary: RECOVER: Faster muscle recovery reported within days. RELIEF, SLIM, REACT, CALM: Subtle effects usually within 30 minutes; take another drop if needed after 30–60 minutes. RESILIENCE:: Improvement typically by Day 2 if caught early; otherwise, lessened severity and duration. BALANCE: Some notice a difference in days; others after about a month. PROTECT: Taken twice daily for immune support; no perceived immediate effects. How many drops are in each bottle? 15mL bottle: Approximately 300 drops. 3mL bottle: Approximately 60 drops.   These products are designed to supplement a healthy diet and lifestyle, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using any dietary supplement, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medication. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of the reach of children. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider. 

— Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity. [10,11].— Our Grass Fed Collagen is derived from cartilage; it provides all of these nourishing constituents to support joints, bones, cartilage, skin, hair and nails.  NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN * For most of human history, Sapiens effortlessly consumed (nose-to-tail) the things we needed for strength, health and happiness. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our lifestyle and nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where joints, bones, cartilage and collagenous parts (including skin, hair and nails) struggle to heal and be healthy. I believe that the ultimate solution is a return to ancestral living (see About Us page).  Whole food, nutrient dense organs, glands and collagen can provide great benefit for those seeking targeted support in harmony with nature — the old fashioned way, the way that our early ancestors did.* Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides pure bovine collagen—in a whole food matrix—with all the cartilage and collagen-specific building blocks, peptides and enzymes to nourish and support one's own joints, bones, cartilage and skin, hair and nail health. Our collagen retains ancestral properties that are otherwise absent in the modern world: MODERN DAY COLLAGENS Modern day commercial collagens are produced from hides, hooves and horns that are otherwise inedible. As such, they are highly processed with high heat, degreasing agents and acids, and end up being far removed from anything resembling the ancestral "living" collagen that our DNA evolved with... these are the raw materials that our DNA still expects today to express healthy and vibrant joints, bones, cartilage, collagen, blood vessels and of course — skin, hair and nails. Don’t get me wrong… commercial collagen peptides are awesome… they just happen to be only one of the 5 major players that bone broth (and our "Living" Collagen) are one of the most nourishing foods in existence. WE EVOLVED EATING MINIMALLY PROCESSED "LIVING" COLLAGEN... Grass Fed Ancestral Collagen is produced from the cartilaginous parts from the innards of the animal (bovine) including the trachea and scapula. The processing you'll find here is simple enough... we use an all natural protease enzyme to remove non-cartilage material, then we freeze-dry it. That's it! As such, our collagen retains ancestral properties in a whole-food matrix that are otherwise absent in the modern world: Typical Amino Acids That You'd Expect From Collagen — Glycine, Hydroxyproline & Proline Trachea-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen; Type I, II, III Bioactive Growth Factors Molecular Biodirectors Glycosaminoglycans Proteoglycans — The Filler Between The Cells... Keeps Cells From Sagging Chondroitin Sulfates — Lubricate Joints Range of Trace Minerals BIOACTIVE GROWTH FACTORS In addition to some of the typical amino acids that you expect in collagen (glycine, hydroxyproline and proline), our Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is teeming with bioactive growth factors, including Insulin Like Growth Factor I (IGF I), Transforming Growth Factor ß I (TGFßI) and Cartilage Derived Growth Factor (CDGF).  The growth factors are a diverse group of proteins with a myriad of biological functions within the body. As proteins, they are sensitive to manufacturing processes, however our gentle processing techniques help to preserve these delicate entities within our finished product. IGF-I may have a dual benefit on compromised cartilage. Work by Neidel et al (1994) demonstrated that IGF-I partially prevented the inhibition of cartilage proteoglycan synthesis caused by Interleukin I (IL-1). In addition to this beneficial effect on the extracellular matrix, the growth factor actually accelerated recovery of proteoglycan production, after the free IL-1 was withdrawn. Furthermore, it has been established that TGF ß significantly increases the levels of chondroitin sulphate chains in proteoglycans, as shown by Rapraeger (1989) MOLECULAR BIODIRECTORS According to the Godfather of cartilage therapy, Dr. John F. Prudden, “bovine cartilage closely resembles fetal mesenchyme, the primordial tissue from which muscle, bone, tendons, ligaments, skin, fat and bone marrow (the heart of the immune system) all develop.” “The cartilage”, he adds, “contains numerous powerful molecular biodirectors. These have a potent normalizing effect in human biology."[5] PROTEOGLYCANS | GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS In the 1930s Francis Pottenger, Jr., a noted pioneer in the field who applied the findings and principles of Weston Price, concluded that the healing power of bone broth came from its hydrophilic, water-loving nature. Every pot of properly made broth is full of huge, water-trapping molecules known as proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans, to hyaluronan, and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity.  Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is also rich in glycosaminoglycans which maintain and support collagen, elastin and turgidity (bounce) in the cellular spaces and keep protein fibers in balance and proportion. Glycosaminoglycans are also linked to the lymphatic system.[6] Chondroitin sulphate is a part of the group of compounds known as glycosaminoglycans (GAG). In cartilage, chondroitin sulphate as part of the larger proteoglycan molecule aggrecan is held within a meshwork of type II collagen fibrils. This meshwork is flexible, and due to the highly negatively charged nature of the GAG molecules holds many times is own weight in water. It is this arrangement that gives fully functional, healthy cartilage its resistance to compression. 100% NEW ZEALAND Pasture Raised In New Zealand Grass-fed & Grass-Finished Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents 100% Freeze Dried & Non-Defatted Third Party Tested For Purity Allergen Free New Zealand — Our product is 100% sourced in New Zealand. In agricultural circles and fisheries, it's known that the clean air and water, green pastures, and animal husbandry is at a higher level — Ultra Pure — Our product is 100% pure... This means that you won't see any of the extra stuff that most supplement companies include to save time and money (stearates, silica, etc) — Freeze Dried — Our product is 100% freeze dried in contrast to the heat processed varieties. This means that you get more of the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors that make organ meats so incredibly nourishing — Safety — There has never been a case of mad cow disease in New Zealand. BSE (mad cow disease), scrapie and other known TSE’s, do not occur in New Zealand. A national surveillance programme is in place to provide comprehensive monitoring — CONSIDER THE SOURCE New Zealand seems like it was made for raising healthy animals. Its location and climate produce pristine conditions for cattle and sheep, and the farmers have uncanny expertise handed down for generations. New Zealand is unique among meat-producing regions in the world because its climate is moderate so the grass in the pastures grows fresh and grows green year-round which means the cows and sheep can eat the food that’s healthiest for them every day of the year. Our nose-to-tail product line is always from grassfed, inspected animals born and raised without the use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics. Health of livestock used for manufacturing in New Zealand is closely monitored by a world leading biosecurity system that is second to none, and is a global exemplar. Strict government licensing, auditing and certification procedures mean that our genuine New Zealand freeze dried products can be used with complete confidence in their origin, safety and efficacy. Freeze-drying preserves the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors of components leaving the nutrients in the same balance as found in nature. * Our product line is 100% additive-free. Absolutely no stearates, lubricants, binders, fillers or flow agents... except with our Bone Marrow (see Other Ingredients) * SUPPLEMENT FACTS Serving Size: 6 Capsules Servings Per Container: 30 AMOUNT PER CAPSULE Freeze-Dried New Zealand Grassfed Cartilage (Bovine) 500MG Trachea-Derived Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen Bioactive Growth Factors Glycosaminoglycans Proteoglycans Chondroitin Sulfates Trace Minerals OTHER INGREDIENTS: Collagen (Beef Gelatin) Capsules SUGGESTED USE: Six capsules daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. BENEFITS OF GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN Traditional peoples, Native Americans and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual. For instance, the traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Similarly, eating the kidneys of a healthy animal was believed to support urinary ailments and overall kidney health... Pancreas was fed to people with digestive and endocrine problems...[7] trachea, scapula, marrow-rich bones and other cartilaginous parts provided concentrated amounts of connective tissue, collagen and other proteins that are now missing from the modern diet. Many of our modern day functional practitioners use our Grass Fed "Living" Collagen to support joints, bones, cartilage and skin. A common protocol is to combine this product with our Grass Fed Liver (or BTC) and Grass Fed Bone Marrow. If one needs more type I collagen support, a commercial collagen is included to the tune of 10-15 grams per day.   Dr. Royal Lee, and other early nutritional pioneers, believed the degenerative processes of a specific organ / gland could be reversed by ingesting the corresponding raw materials specific to that organ / gland.7 GRASS FED COLLAGEN & LIVER — THE ULTIMATE SUPERFOODS Whether from grassfed beef, bison, or lamb, grass fed liver is one of the most nutrient-dense, health promoting foods you could possibly eat. Hunters all over the world, for uncounted thousands of years, would eat the raw livers of the animals they killed. Lions and other predatory animals will also eat the liver first. Grass fed liver is particularly rich in vitamin B12, vitamin A, choline, folate and and many other powerful nutrients that most people are deficient in. Grass fed liver also contains compounds that help the human liver function better. Other substances in liver reduce fatigue, improve digestive health and support brain function.*1 Many people look to targeted support "like heals like" while neglecting the very fundamental nourishment that governs our biology, health and well-being. It's no wonder that so many people successfully support organ and glandular related health conditions (thyroid, adrenal and gut included) by just nourishing their bodies with the fundamentals — Liver and Bone Marrow.*   WISDOM BACKED BY SCIENCE Organs and glandulars were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science... "Radioisotope labeling studies in animals have shown conclusively that, when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs and glands in high concentrations. This research, done at the University of Scotland in Edinburgh, lends credence to the ancient practice of eating animal organs to help ensure health in one’s corresponding organs..." - Dr. Ron Schmid, ND.*[8] Our early ancestors knew this, which is why their traditional diets included the frequent and nourishing consumption of nose-to-tail nutrients. — Powerful effects on wound healing, autoimmune conditions, joint health and other conditions considered to be treatment resistant to conventional therapies *[1,2,3,4] — — Contains numerous powerful molecular biodirectors and immunoregulators to balance and regulate a health promoting response to a given stimulus *[5] — — All the building blocks for connective tissue and cartilage... glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, chondroitin sulfates and type II collagen *[6] — GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN CONTAINS... Typical Amino Acids That You'd Expect From Collagen — Glycine, Hydroxyproline & Proline Trachea-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen; Type I, II, III Bioactive Growth Factors; IGF-I, TGFßI & Cartilage Derived Growth Factor (CDGF) Molecular Biodirectors Glycosaminoglycans | Proteoglycans Chondroitin Sulfates — Lubricate Joints Range Of Trace Minerals [NOTE: Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans, to hyaluronan, and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity.] [10,11]   GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN SUPPORTS...  Optimal Joints, Bones, Cartilage & Skin, Hair and Nail Health Based On "Like Supports Like" * Healing, Immune Health And Joint Health * The Filler Between The Cells... Keeps Cells From Sagging Treatment Response In Conditions Considered To Be Treatment Resistant * Connective Tissue And Digestive Health *[9]  [NOTE: Grass Fed "Living" Collagen’s anti-inflammatory effects make it especially useful for joint disorders. However, it has also been shown to be very effective in inflammatory conditions of the gut.] [9] SUGGESTED USE (6 CAPSULES A DAY) Our Grass Fed Collagen is a whole food dietary supplement that provides Grass Fed "Living" Collagen within the ultimate food matrix. This supplement can be taken with (or) without food (even though it technically is food). The suggested use is 6 capsules a day or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled or tripled. If consuming more than six capsules at once, the doses should be separated by at least three hours to improve tolerability. As it relates to little ones, our Ancestral Supplements are 100% pure and they're encapsulated in 100% pure bovine gelatin. Since we do not add any stearates, lubricants, binders, fillers or flow agents, (except with our Bone Marrow; see Other Ingredients), our products contain all the natural nourishing properties of grass fed organs as they exist in harmony with nature. In other words, if you would consider preparing homemade liver and onions (or) a homemade organ meat paté for little one, our supplements would be no different — it's just food, whole-food at that!In fact, many of our customers give our products to their babies, toddlers and teens... many email and post reviews about it, including one that notes that she gives her kid half the recommended dose for an anemia-related issue. Another reviewer remarks about our Thymus, at 1-2 capsules a day, is the only thing that works for her son's "angry" eczema. Even a new mom states that she opens the capsule and blends our liver into a homemade Weston A Price formula to give her baby a head start. As long as the little ones tolerate beef products without incident, you would just be giving a convenient source of ancestral nourishment.As it relates to dosing, most of our functional healthcare practitioner accounts suggest 1 capsule for every 15-20 pounds of body weight. I always tell people that I put the care, attention and quality assurance into my products as if I am giving them to my family... because I am! My young boys, wife and I all take the Beef Liver, Beef Organs and Bone Marrow everyday. Pro Tip: Add 10-15 grams of commercial collagen and bioavailable vitamin C (I like acerola cherries or a good powder will do). Why you ask... proline hydroxylation requires ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The most obvious, first effects (gingival and hair problems) of absence of ascorbic acid in humans come from the resulting defect in hydroxylation of proline residues of collagen, with reduced stability of the collagen molecule, causing scurvy and sub-clinical scurvy-like symptoms with bleeding gums, hair loss, skin issues and such.  POTENTIAL ISSUES (DETOX REACTION) Most customers tolerate our supplements without incident; however, approximately 5 to 10% of customers (usually with an autoimmune condition) may experience a detoxification reaction. Detoxification reactions go by many different names including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions (or) Herxheimer reactions with hallmark symptoms of nausea, headache, lethargy, dizziness and other flu like symptoms. In this instance, detoxification reactions are generally an indication that detoxification pathways in the body are back online... cells suddenly have an opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of stored toxins, metabolic wastes, pathogens and unwanted material.  A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, you may wish to start slow when adding this product to your current regimen. Tolerability can be greatly improved by starting with just 1 (or) 2 capsules a day and increasing by just 1 capsule every couple of days — this method may take a full few weeks to achieve the desired serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you're ulta sensitive to supplements, email us and we'll do everything we can to help. HIGH QUALITY ORGANS, GLANDS & COLLAGENS Okay, you're convinced! You're going to start incorporating nose-to-tail nourishment in your routine because, well... you're educated now... you understand, just as our early ancestors did, that they provide superlative health benefits that are missing in our modern diets. The next step is sourcing it. It's important that you source the highest quality because not all organs, glands and cartilage are created equal. Consider the source.  Should Come From An Unpolluted Geographical Region — Isolated, Healthy, Pristine Lands  Should Come From Pasture Raised Animals Should Come From Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Animals Should Come From Animals That Are Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Should Also Be Ultra Pure... Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents, No Allergens Should Be Non-Defatted (if applicable) Should Be 100% Freeze Dried... Freeze Drying Preserves Heat Sensitive Biological Activity (or) Low-Heat Rendered As Is The Case w/ Our Tallow SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTS (3) If you're going to pick just one ancestral supplement to start with, make it our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER... unless you need targeted support with another specific organ system (see below). If you are going to pick two supplements, our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER and our GRASS FED BEEF ORGANS provide complementary and synergistic nourishment. If you can add a third supplement, GRASS FED BONE MARROW fills fat soluble nutrition gaps and provides the fat soluble activators that nutrition giant Dr. Weston Price extensively wrote about. Grass Fed Beef Liver Grass Fed Beef Organs (liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen) Grass Fed Bone Marrow On the other hand, if you're looking for targeted organ support, you may be interested in our GRASS FED BEEF HEART to support heart health (or) our GRASS FED THYROID to support a struggling thyroid (or) our GRASS FED THYMUS to support thymus function and immune health... you get the picture.* We have a nose-to-tail product line that can be found on our "Products" page. If you can't find what you're looking for (or) you're not sure what you're looking for, send us an email and we'll do everything we can to help. GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN SUMMARY Our genome has evolved with the nourishment of nose-to-tail dining since the beginning of time. Grassfed Collagen is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides 100% pure Grass Fed "Living" Collagen containing powerful biodirectors, immunoregulars, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, chondroitin sulfates and type II collagen with bioactive "living" growth factors. These nourishing compounds support healing, immune and joint health along with treatment resistant conditions.* Based on the concept of "like supports like," Grass Fed "Living" Collagen may strengthen and support our own connective tissue, joints, bones, cartilage and skin, hair and nail health.* Not all organs and glands are the same. Look for the highest quality Grass Fed "Living" Collagen... It should come from pasture-raised, grass-fed and grass-finished animals that are hormone, pesticide and GMO free. If considering a supplement, look for one that is ultra pure (without binders, fillers (or) flow agents) and look for the freeze dried variety as these have been shown to optimally preserve nutritional factors, growth factors and co-factors. [ FACT: There has never been a case of mad cow disease in New Zealand. BSE (mad cow disease), scrapie and other known TSE’s, do not occur in New Zealand. A national surveillance programme is in place to provide comprehensive monitoring. ] We care deeply about each and every aspect of our "seed to supplement" business... great love and gratitude goes out to the souls of these beautiful creatures that sacrificed their lives so that we could be nourished.

The Highest Potency Real 100% Pine Tree Lignin Sourced Organic Sulfur Food Available On Our Planet! One of the best least expensive and most results generating oxy-products. Not a supplement, a needed FOOD necessary to build cells and transport oxygen! This Sulfur food is used by our bodies to determine cell wall permeability and oxygen transport into our cells, and no one has enough in our opinion - since it has been missing from our food due to mandated artificial fertilizer use since 1954. Generations of us without enough of the 3rd most abundant element in us. People tried getting results with the hundreds of other cheap technology so-called "MSMs," but only got mixed results due to cost cutting and greed on the part of manufacturers. "I got it in the store because it was cheaper..." is a tale of woe we hear all the time. Do you want a real living crystal product that will grow wild when evaporated in a glass of water, or a cheap price? You chose. Radio personality Tai Aguirre from The Expat show once said, "Well I got this other one because it was cheaper." He was told to put both in a shot glass of water and evaporate them to see the difference. We didn't even get off the phone and he was amazed. "It's only been 20 minutes and evaporated OxySulfur is growing on the glass! The cheaper one just sits there! That's what they do, they just sit there. Go with OxySulfur and you too will be yelling "It's Alive!" when your tests show it growing on a glass.We have the 18th century natural process and perfected processing and packaging. Don't buy mere dead mass market MSM products in an attempt to get missing Sulfur!

Exclzyme The Original Full-Strength Formula Everybody Needs a Healthy Body Elimination of potentially toxic substances from the body is a crucial part in the metabolic processes for optimal health. A variety of health issues can develop if toxins within the body impair enzyme function or availability or without a proper store of enzymes. For instance, the immune system can be overwhelmed with bacteria, fungi, toxins and even food particles that don’t get completely digested in the gastro-intestinal tract. In many instances, proteins created by these distresses found within the body, which the body detects as foreign, can initiate an immune response. Recognized as antigens, the immune system produces antibodies to start the process of the proteins’ degradation and removal. After coupling with one another, these antigens and antibodies form circulating immune complexes (CICs), which induce attack and destruction by the immune system’s macrophages (white blood cells specifically designed to destroy CICs). This process is known as inflammation – the body’s natural healing mechanism In cases where inflammation is prolonged or when CICs are predominant within the body’s tissues and organs, the body may not have enough enzyme potential to begin the next process of renewal and recovery. Moreover, research has demonstrated that a lack of proteolytic enzymes may not cause an adequate response to a large accumulation of CIC’s in the body. Exclzyme® for Total Body Support To address this problem, Exclzyme has been formulated with an ample supply of various proteases to facilitate the body’s immune defenses and breakdown free-roaming CICs that can keep the body in a constant state of inflammation. Enteric-coated serrapeptase highlights this powerful mix of proteolytic enzymes with its scientifically proven fibrinolytic power (to learn more about enteric coating used in AST Enzymes products, please click the "Compare" tab). Exclzyme also contains papain and bromelain, enzymes known for their potent systemic properties. In addition to these systemic and digestive proteases, lipase and amylase also offer their own enzyme activity to bolster the body with extra catalytic energy, especially for the complete digestion of fats, sugar and protein complexes. And for extra synergy, Exclzyme is rounded with anti-oxidant support in the form of rutin and amla, herbs well known for their unique bioflavanoid content, especially useful for tissue rejuvenation and recovery.*The entire systemic enzyme blend is manufactured in a ISO 9001:2000 and GMP certified facilities using our Bioactive Protein Peptide System® (BPPS). The Original Systemic Enzyme Formula Exclzyme is a proven systemic enzyme therapy for overall health. A powerful blend of serrapeptase, proteases and herbs, Exclzyme supports the body’s response to inflammation, metabolic activity, blood, joints and circulation. The Exclzyme formula has been used for more than a decade by thousands of people as a daily dietary supplement. In fact, you may have been using the original formula for years without knowing it (to learn more about Exclzyme vs. Vitalzym®, please click the "Compare" tab).** AST Enzymes’ family of companies is among the largest manufacturers of enzymes in the world. For decades, we have supplied enzymes to marketing companies who have built their businesses on enzyme supplements our experts formulated and manufactured. The Exclzyme formulation has been commercially available since 1999 and is the most successful non-animal derived systemic enzyme blend on the market today. Exclzyme Dosage For best results, begin enzyme regiment at a low dosage of 1 capsule three times a day. After three days, increase your Exclzyme dosage to 2 capsules three times a day. After the first week, doses should be adjusted to a therapeutic level of 3 or more capsules three times a day (amount is dependent upon desired benefit). NOTE: It is important to continue therapeutic doses until results are realized. This should then be reduced to a maintenance dose of 1-3 capsules three times a day. Complementing your Exclzyme with additional serrapeptase can increase proteolytic activity, as well as increase positive effects on inflammation and provide faster recovery and healing from injury.*Peptizyme-SP contains 80,000 units of professional-strength serrapeptase per capsule.

Some companies claim to continue to carry the original formula. One easy way to check is to see if the bottle says the enzyme serrapeptase is enteric-coated. Studies show serrapeptase, sourced from the bacterium Serratia marcescens and the key ingredient in the original Full-Strength Exclzyme, must be enteric coated so it can pass through the acid environment of the stomach without being damaged. And as for the new formulas on the market claiming to be stronger or more technologically advanced: the proof is in the results. There is an underlying art when it comes to manufacturing enzyme products. Systemic enzyme blends must be formulated expertly and correctly for maximum effectiveness. In fact, alterations to an already successful systemic enzyme product may not provide the same results you’ve come to expect. Many companies, including ours, use proprietary formulas to protect their products from being copied and used by others. But all companies must list all of the ingredients by name, and rank the ingredients according to the percentage amounts in the formula. For instance, in the original Exclzyme formula, enteric-coated serrapeptase is listed on our ingredient list as the second most prevalent ingredient in our formulation. If your “new and improved” systemic formula does not list serrapeptase as the second ingredient and it doesn’t say enteric-coated, you’re probably not getting the most out of your systemic enzyme formula. Serrapeptase has always been the hallmark of the original Exclzyme formula, making it the choice of companies and consumers alike.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Enteric Coating Comparison   Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC)*   Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Phthalate (HPMCP) Contains Phthalates NO YES YES Considered Enteric Coating YES YES YES Studies supporting Efficacy as Enteric Coating YES YES YES Gastro-resistance YES YES YES FDA GRAS YES YES YES Time in Use   >50 years   >70 years   ~40 years     *AST Enzymes uses MAAC as enteric coating   What is enteric coating, and why is it needed? Enteric coating is a layer of protective coating for dietary supplements that is meant to allow the supplement to bypass digestion by the stomach and be absorbed in the small intestine. Systemic enzymes are proteins, so their functional structures are denatured (or destroyed) in conditions of extreme pH and temperature. Without enteric coating, enzymes would be rendered useless long before they reach the bloodstream, where their carry out their beneficial effects. What’s enteric coating made of? At AST Enzymes, we use Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) for our enteric coating. Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) is not a phthalate. According to independent studies, MAAC is the most gastro-resistant when compared to other commonly used enteric coating agents such as Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) and Hydroxypropyl Methycellulose Phthalate (HPMCP). This means that MAAC can most effectively withstand the acidity of the stomach, allowing its contents to be released in the small intestine and absorbed successfully. Don’t let the name scare you. MAAC is a food-grade compound that has been in use as enteric coating in the pharmaceutical industry for over 50 years with no reported side effects. In fact, theEuropean Food Safety Authority – an organization that conducted studies which led to the ban of 6 types of phthalates in personal care products in Europe in 2004 – has deemed MAAC safe for use as coating agent in food supplements. Not only is MAAC listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also conducted various studies and found sufficient information to reasonably conclude that the current use pattern of MAAC will not adversely affect public health or the environment. ** Vitalzym® is a registered trademark of World Nutrition Inc., which is not affiliated with, nor sponsors or endorses this product or any other product from Specialty Enzymes & Biotechnologies or AST Enzymes.   Research   Inflammation and Fibrin The reality of inflammation is that it affects everyone, men and women alike. However, along with nearly all other tissue and organs, inflammation can affect reproductive tissue and organs particularly. For instance, many women experience painful swelling of the breast as well as uterine fibroids. In men, prostate health is a major concern. Although inflammation in each case may manifest differently in both men and women, inflammation has one thing in common: fibrin. Fibrin is an essential protein that is produced during inflammation. As a blood clotting protein, the body utilizes fibrin to contain blood loss and keep infection at bay after injury. It is the initial step in the body’s attempts at recovery. However, when inflammation has become prolonged, fibrin along with other proteins such as collagen can begin to transform original tissue into a tough fibrous matrix. Differentiated and sometimes sequestered apart from healthy tissue, this fibrous matrix still has the biological markers of inflammation. Nutrients and other building blocks are still needed for healthy and normal tissue. Systemic and proteolytic enzyme research over the years suggests that fibroids in women and swollen prostate glands in men are indications that the body has not been able to get past inflammation. The resulting fibrous tissue usually accumulates toxins that have not been adequately removed by the body. Serrapeptase Research: Anti-inflammatory Activity For nearly 40 years, serrapeptase has been at the heart of systemic enzyme therapy. Systemic enzymes such as serrapeptase have been used for optimal cell, tissue, organ and metabolic function. Likewise, companies, health practitioners and consumers have turned to the original Exclzyme formulation for their systemic enzyme therapy needs. Researchers in India conducted a study to assess the response of serrapeptase in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). They wanted to determine if a conservative, non-surgical approach would be beneficial. Twenty patients with CTS were evaluated clinically after 6 weeks taking serrapeptase. Sixty five percent showed significant clinical improvement, which was supported by improvement in electrophysiological parameters. No significant side effects were observed. The doctors concluded that serrapeptase therapy may prove to be a useful alternative conservative treatment.1 A clinical evaluation of serrapeptase was conducted to determine its efficacy in reducing inflammation in patients with breast engorgement. Serrapeptase was noted to be superior to placebo for improvement of breast pain, breast swelling and induration and while 85.7% of the patients receiving serrapeptase had "Moderate to Marked" improvement. No adverse reactions were reported with the use of serrapeptase. The researchers conclude that serrapeptase is a safe and effective method for the treatment of breast engorgement.2 Moving to another part of the body, a study was conducted in men with amicrobial prostato-vesiculitis (APV is a non-infectious inflammation of the prostate). The researchers wanted to determine if treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) drugs, including serrapeptase, could reduce inflammation and swelling of the prostate. The doctors conclude that in APV patients, the treatment with NSAIDS, including serrapeptase is an effective therapy, producing multiple positive effects.3 Exclzyme Benefits and Sports Nutrition Enzymes are energetic catalysts that push essential chemical reactions in the body in the right direction. In its quest for internal balance, the body always turns to enzymes for help. In this way, Exclzyme helps get inflamed tissue over the hump. Exclzyme’s superior proteolytic action assists the body in removing those larger protein molecules from damaged cells and tissues as well as the inflammatory response itself. In helping breakdown these compounds, the impediments for sustaining healthy cell and tissue growth are removed and the processes for rejuvenation and recovery can move forward. These facets of Exclzyme make it ideal for maintaining healthy tissue repair following strenuous physical training and activity. Sport- and exercise-related muscle pain and inflammation brought on by strong physical tension, excessive training, and heavy competition are decreased with “excellent results” due to the specific activity of systemic enzymes on exercise-induced inflammation.4 Taking systemic enzymes prior activity can also provide protective benefits to athletes who are at risk of injury, resulting in significantly reduced duration of injury symptoms and related absences from training and work. Systemic enzyme support also improves recovery from sprains, as well as shortens recovery from sport injuries severe enough to require surgery.5,6 Enzyme Activity  Enteric Coated Serrapeptase Used by silkworms to digest and emerge from their silken cocoons; studied extensively for more than 50 years; an excellent fibrinolytic (fibrin digesting) and powerful anti-inflammatory enzyme* Protease Hydrolyze (break-down) proteins like casein, steak, gelatin, soy, fish and other plant and animal proteins to smaller chains of polypeptides (small proteins) and amino acids for easier uptake throughout the body Bromelain A collective name for the proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes found in the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus); known for its anti-inflammatory properties.  A good substitute for animal-based enzymes a good substitute for pepsin and trypsin for digestive support* Papain Obtained from the latex of the fruit of the Papaya tree; used for centuries as an effective digestive aid* Amylase Breaks down carbohydrates, or more specifically, starches, into smaller dextrins and sugars; produced naturally by humans, microorganisms and plants Lipase Catalyzes the break-down of fats into essential fatty acids needed for healthy tissues and cells* Amla Also known as Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis); a natural, efficacious antioxidant, and one of the richest sources of absorbable vitamin C Rutin Bioflavonoid; strengthens and tones arteries and veins; provides antioxidant support against free-radicals and inflammation*     References 1.

FAQ         What is systemic enzyme therapy? Systemic enzyme therapy refers to the therapeutic use of natural enzymes to produce desired healing effects. Systemic enzymes are absorbed from the small intestine where they enter the bloodstream and execute their effects on the entire body as a system. Their crucial role in normal inflammatory response assists and supports the body in accelerating healing.   What is a systemic proteolytic enzyme? Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins into their building-blocks, which are called amino acids. Systemic proteolytic enzymes are responsible for breaking down accumulated protein and waste substances found in the circulatory system and connective tissue. Waste materials produced from inflammation and other biochemical processes can build up, contributing to excessive scarring and perpetuated immune responses. Excessive scarring, particularly of the organs, can exacerbate symptoms of the associated disease. The waste product of specific concern is known as fibrin. Regular systemic proteolytic enzyme use can improve circulation and aid in flushing out these waste products.   What is fibrin? Fibrin is a protein-based substance that is needed to help clot one’s blood, playing a substantial role in immune response and healing. When the body responds to injury or chronic inflammation, fibrin is recruited to the damaged area to form scar tissue. Although the body is equipped with plasmin, a naturally occurring enzyme responsible for breaking down excess fibrin, some people are at a disadvantage – as aging occurs, plasmin levels progressively decrease. This actually increases the risk for excessive, undesirable scar tissue formation in the body.   Are systemic enzymes anti-inflammatory drugs? Although systemic enzymes produce anti-inflammatory effects, they are not considered a drug. Since enzymes are naturally occurring within the body, systemic enzyme therapy is considered supplementation. One difference between systemic enzymes and NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) involves the duration of action. While NSAIDs produce short-term pain relief, systemic enzymes can produce long-term alleviation with appropriate use. The largest difference between NSAIDS and systemic enzymes is the mechanism of action and possible side effects. NSAIDs block the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation and swelling. However, prostaglandins protect the lining of the stomach, and prolonged use of NSAIDs can reduce this protection and increase the risk of developing ulcers. Conversely, regular use of systemic enzymes has no negative side effects and can actually provide protective effects against excess inflammation.   Why is it important to take Exclzyme on an empty stomach? Since most absorption occurs in the small intestine, the systemic enzymes must bypass the stomach to gain access there. If the enzymes are taken with food, they will likely begin working to break down your food within the stomach, rather than passing through to the small intestine. Taking systemic enzymes like Exclzyme with food will compromise their absorption, as well as their effectiveness.   Does Exclzyme have an enteric coating? Yes, the serrapeptase in Exclzyme is enterically coated. While similar systemic enzymes may have the same active ingredients, most do not utilize enteric coating. The purpose of enteric coating is to protect the enzyme from the acidic environment of the stomach. High activity level is preserved until the enzymes reach the small intestine, where absorption into the bloodstream takes place. While the enteric coating can withstand the acidic environment of the stomach, the alkaline environment of the small intestine will disintegrate the enteric coating, allowing the enzyme to be active within the bloodstream.   Do you use phthalates in your enteric coating? No, our enteric coating does not use or contain phthalates. At AST Enzymes, we use Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) for our enteric coating. Compared to other commonly used enteric coating agents such as Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) and Hydroxypropyl Methycellulose Phthalate (HPMCP), MAAC is the most gastro-resistant and does not carry the same risks. Additionally, MAAC is considered GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the FDA and is approved for use by the European Food Safety Authority. To learn more about enteric coating used in AST Enzymes products, please click the 'Compare" tab.   How long should I take Exclzyme before feeling results? Since people experience varying ailments and severity of disease, the length of time to include systemic enzymes in your regimen may vary as well. As an overall guideline, it is typically recommended that new systemic enzyme users start off slow. A starter dose is generally one capsule, three times daily. After three to four days of proven tolerance, the dose can be increased to a therapeutic dose of 3 capsules, 3 times per day. At this point, results may be monitored, and dosage should be adjusted accordingly. Some consumers find their therapeutic dose between 9-15 capsules per day, while others only need 3-6. There are several factors that may affect results and required dosage, including: ·         Height ·         Weight ·         Age ·         Severity of symptoms ·         Tolerance ·         Time of administration (Better absorbed on an empty stomach) ·         Adherence to regimen ·         Nutritional state   What if I miss a dose? Regular, consistent use of systemic enzymes will provide the best results, however missed doses of systemic enzymes do not have serious repercussions. Although symptoms alleviated by systemic enzyme therapy may resurface, getting back on track by remembering to take your next dose will suffice. There is also the option of incorporating another dose during the day. There is no need to “double up,” on one dose - and remember, systemic enzymes are best absorbed on an empty stomach.   Are there any side effects involved with Exclzyme? The use of Exclzyme has not been shown to exhibit detrimental effects, neither long term nor short term. Just as dosage requirements vary, side effects may vary as well. Although gastrointestinal disturbances have been reported by a small percentage of new users, tolerance is maintained once the dosage is adjusted. Minor allergic reactions, like reddening of the skin, are also rare occurrences, and can be seen with extremely high doses. There are no known interactions with prescription or over the counter drugs while using systemic enzyme therapy. However, it is recommended that you consult with your physician about starting systemic enzymes, especially if you are currently on blood-thinning medications or if you are pregnant or nursing.   Can I take Exclzyme with other systemic enzymes? Systemic enzymes may be taken together, yielding desirable results, as long as they are taken on an empty stomach. In fact, it is often recommended that systemic enzymes be combined. Products like Exclzyme and Peptizyme-SP often have synergistic effects when taken together. This means that the separate products work together to produce advantageous results. By combining and enhancing the activity of the enzymes, their effects on the healing process are more attainable.   Can I take Exclzyme with digestive enzymes? Although digestive and systemic enzymes are not contraindicated in terms of ingredients, they cannot be taken at the same time. The purpose of digestive enzymes is to aid in digestion of specific foods, so taking them with food is an obvious recommendation. Because systemic enzymes require an empty stomach for maximum absorption, they must be taken separately from digestive enzymes. There are no adverse interactions between systemic and digestive enzymes, but they serve different purposes and thus should be taken as directed for best results.     Supplement Facts Serving Size:  1 CapsulesServings Per Container: 90 Amount Per Serving                          %DV Proprietary Enzyme Blend:                      500 mg *   Protease, Peptizyme SP® EN (Enteric   coated Serrapeptase), Papain,   Bromelain, Amylase, Lipase, Rutin   and Amla. *Daily Value (DV) not established Other ingredients:  Microcrystalline cellulose, and cellulose.
