Maximize the performance benefits of your protein supplement. Ideal for body builders, runners, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone with an active lifestyle1, Aminolase™ represents a breakthrough in protein nutrition for those using protein supplements or meal replacements to help build or maintain healthy muscle mass and accelerate muscle recovery. (Figure 1) Aminolase™ should be taken with protein rich foods and all protein supplements including the following: whey, milk, casein, soy, pea, rice and hemp. Protein supplements are one of the richest sources of all nine essential amino acids that the body is unable to produce on its own; however all protein must first be processed into a usable form, which includes essential amino acids and beneficial peptides (i.e., Di and Tri-peptides)3. To be effective, protein must be broken down into a smaller particle size within approximately 90 minutes of consumption4. This transit time represents the time from which protein passes from the stomach through the small intestine where digestion/absorption primarily occurs; from there it will be assembled into muscle building protein (a bio-usable form)4. Undigested protein will simply be excreted from the body, resulting in increased kidney stress and wasted amino acids, essentially pouring your expensive protein supplement down the toilet. (Figure 2) Aminolase Suggested Use Suggested Use: Consume 1 capsule of Aminolase™ per 25 grams of protein consumed. Aminolase capsules may also be opened and added directly to your favorite protein supplement. Aminolase is a vegetarian enzyme product which may increase protein bio-availability as much as 1000%. Decreased Stomach Discomfort - An Added Benefit When dietary protein is not broken down into its smallest components, large peptides are created that can cause stomach discomfort such as bloating, nausea and cramping. These symptoms should not be confused with food intolerances; generally, the underlying cause of protein-induced stomach discomfort is peptide sensitivity. Aminolase breaks down these large peptides, reducing the potential for discomfort that often comes from consuming protein supplements or dietary protein. (Figures 3 & 4) C-Reactive Protein (CRP) This study also measured levels of a common marker of inflammation; a protein called C-reactive protein. Elevated levels of this protein in the blood predict the onset of serious illnesses such as cardiovascular disease. Levels of C-reactive protein were measured when the participants consumed only the whey protein drink and again, five days later, when they consumed the whey protein drink with Aminolase™. An increase in C-reactive protein levels was observed for each of the participants when they consumed only the whey protein drink. On the other hand, after consuming the whey protein drink with Aminolase™, a significant decrease in C-reactive protein levels was observed for each individual. These results indicate the ability of Aminolase™ to hydrolyze large amounts of protein, improve the absorption of individual amino acids and significantly reduce inflammation that is associated with undigested proteins. Supplement Facts Acid Stable Protease A patent pending proteolytic enzyme that is capable of digesting every type of consumable protein; protease is responsible for digesting all ingested proteins and is one of the three enzymes found in our body’s natural pancreatic juices. Hundreds of prototypes were developed before the final product was chosen. Aminolase will completely break-down and digest all protein, food or supplement. Amionlase works great with animal and vegetarian dierived proteins. This proprietary blend of proteases is active over a very brough ph range, making it extremely effective in Acid and Alkalain environments.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WARNING: Do not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking anti-coagulants or if you are pregnant or nursing. 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.

These symptoms are far too common because of the imbalanced levels of natural hormones and the increasing exposure to dangerous exogenous sources of oestrogen. In fact, many people believe that the signs of hormonal imbalances are the new normal. The good news is that ladies can start to feel at ease with Femesse once more. Women will be back on track to feeling their best and looking their best thanks to this safe and natural solution that is made to normalise hormonal activity and get rid of external influences. Femesse Product Information We learn from eastern and integrative medicine that the exterior characteristics of the human body are influenced by our organ systems. This demonstrates that the hormonal system controls the health of the skin and breasts. Women generally notice an undesirable difference in their skin and breast tissue when their hormonal system is out of balance and not functioning at its best as a result of toxicity and nutritional inadequacies. In order to support strong and attractive breast tissue, healthy, supple skin, and regulated hormone levels, Femesse is a special blend of herbal extracts, vitamins, minerals, and botanicals. Femesse may also help to lessen a number of unpleasant menstrual cycle and menopausal symptoms. Femesse supports internal health and attractiveness so that women can experience the highest level of wellbeing and external beauty. Promoting Healthy Hormone Levels: How Femesse Works Femesse supports the female body by supplying essential nutrients such as maitake mushrooms, evening primrose, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, and other natural herbs that can support the liver and detoxification systems of the body as well as encourage the health of hormones, skin, and glandular tissue. Since the liver serves as the main location for hormone processing, Femesse is essential to the detoxification process. The ability to treat PMS also depends on having a healthy liver (premenstrual syndrome). Since this delicate tissue makes up the breasts and hormone-producing organs in women, maintaining glandular health is crucial. Because of the sharp decline in hormone levels that occurs as women age, their skin and breast tissue become dry and droop. The firmness of a woman’s breast is due to glandular tissue. The glandular tissue starts to shrivel and is replaced by fat when hormone levels are low. The breasts soften and lose their support as a result of this alteration in the breast tissue. Femesse’s patented herbal blend doesn’t actually include any hormones, but it does contain Pueraria Mirifica, a vital nutrient and phytoestrogen that may help the body generate female hormones in a regular, healthy proportion. Femesse offers the resources required to keep these organs feeling, looking, and performing at their peak levels. Women will soon start to notice and experience the difference. Femesse Product Ingredients Vitamin E A potent antioxidant that has a reputation for being a natural anti-aging food. Organs that produce hormones need vitamin E to operate properly and to shield cells in the body from free radical damage. This vitamin makes the skin’s capillaries stronger, which enhances hydration and suppleness. Along with regulating the menstrual cycle and dramatically enhancing immunological function, vitamin E also assists in reducing the cramps, anxiety, and cravings linked to PMS. Vitamin B6 As a vitamin in the B complex family, vitamin B6 plays a major role in maintaining a healthy nervous system and metabolism. Additionally necessary for healthy skin and eyes, it also supports regular liver function. By controlling blood sugar levels, producing antibodies for healthy immunological function, and transporting oxygen in red blood cells, vitamin B6 participates in most of the body’s major physiological processes. Folate Folate, often known as folic acid, is another B vitamin. Folate is a water-soluble vitamin that helps to maintain immune and nervous system health as well as DNA synthesis. People who don’t get enough folate can develop anaemia. Folate promotes healthy glandular tissue, heart health, cognitive function, and pregnancy. Zinc A specific metal that is a crucial trace element. To maintain numerous essential bodily processes, this metal is required in minute amounts each day. Zinc promotes good digestion, a robust immune system, regular liver function, and healthy hormone production. Selenium A little mineral with a significant physiological function. All antioxidants’ capacity and availability are increased by selenium. Antioxidants wouldn’t be able to scavenge free radicals without selenium, and inflammation would become unmanageable. Selenium increases blood flow, controls thyroid function, and strengthens the immune system. Dong Quai Dong Quai, sometimes referred to as “female ginseng,” has been used for generations as a female tonic. It is a natural plant that relaxes the uterine muscles to facilitate comfortable menstruation. Dong Quai is also used to increase sex desire, enhance cardiovascular health, regulate hormones, relieve stress and anxiety, and raise vitality. Damiana Indigenous people in Central and South America traditionally used the leaves of the Damiana plant to make a relaxing/aphrodisiac tea. Damiana is still widely used as an herbal tonic and body cleanser. The active chemical in this herb, known as Damianin, has been shown to balance hormones as an AROMATASE INHIBITOR, as well as a potent herb for lowering blood sugar. This powerful and natural herb is recognized in the PHYSICIAN’S DESK REFERENCE as an herbal medicine for promoting relaxation, weight loss, and for boosting libido. Saw Palmetto Saw Palmetto, which comes from a palm tree with slow growth, is frequently used to treat enlarged prostates in male patients. However, studies have shown that Saw Palmetto can help women balance their hormones quite well. It encourages gorgeous skin by regulating oil production. Saw Palmetto aids in strengthening vaginal and uterine tissue to prevent stretching or tearing as women become older because these tissues can grow weaker. Fenugreek Fenugreek, a perennial herb also known as Greek hay, belongs to the pea family (Fabaceae). It has a long history of use as an ingredient in traditional medicine and is grown in North Africa, the Middle East, Egypt, and India. It offers antioxidant, balanced blood sugar, and long-term digestive health benefits. Fenugreek is a fantastic supporting ingredient for reducing discomfort related to the menstrual cycle since it supports digestive comfort and proper inflammatory response. Blessed Thistle Since the Middle Ages, this plant has been utilised in herbal therapy. Blessed Thistle is a dietary supplement that supports the health of the liver, gallbladder, and intestines. Additionally, it is recognised for its capacity to elevate mood, particularly in menopausal or menstruating women. Fennel Fennel is a natural plant chemical with antioxidant characteristics that functions as a mild female hormone and is one of the most popular herbs used to improve women’s health. Fennel works well to control menstruation and relieve menopausal symptoms because of this. Additionally, this herb is loaded with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibre. Pueraria Mirifica The main ingredient that gives Femesse its effectiveness is Pueraria Mirifica, sometimes called White Kwao Krua, which has historically been utilised as a vitality booster for older women. This plant supports the body’s capacity to maintain healthy levels of female hormones since it is a potent phytoestrogen. Normal skin elasticity and moisture as well as firm breast tissue are supported by healthy hormone levels. Wild Yam Native Americans have used wild yam to assist the female body’s regular functions. For patients with endometriosis, this herb is frequently used to ease cramping and discomfort during the menstrual cycle. Safely promoting normal digestion and healthy blood sugar levels is wild yam. Additionally, it is well known for easing menopausal symptoms like mood swings, night sweats, and hot flashes. Marshmallow King Tut employed this plant, which is derived from the marshmallow root, to treat stomach issues as well as to support a healthy immune system. This natural herb has been added because it can help maintain healthy skin and reduce fluid retention in people who are going through menopause or PMS. Violet Violet supports liver health and has a long history of use as a calming herb and a mood stabiliser. This plant helps with regular digestion and gets rid of constipation. Women’s menstruation pain has been known to be lessened by violet. Cumin Cumin, a spice that is widely popular in Mexico, India, and the Middle East, has antioxidant characteristics and aids in promoting healthy digestion, blood sugar levels, and sleep. Cumin improves metabolism and helps to curb sugar cravings, making it an ideal supporting food for maintaining a healthy weight. Hops Beer is famous for containing this fragrant flower. Many scientists concur that hops have a calming effect, which may explain why many people report feeling less tense after consuming beer. Additionally, hops can help women balance their hormones. In one study, vaginal gel containing hops was used by 100 postmenopausal women who reported decreased vaginal dryness, itching, and burning as well as less pain during sex. Maitake Mushroom Maitake mushrooms, also known as Grifola frondosa, are indigenous to Japan. A unique kind of fibre found in maitake mushrooms has been demonstrated to support heart health, blood sugar regulation, immunological function, and healthy weight maintenance. Additionally supporting appropriate glandular and lymphatic drainage is this medicinal meal. Lecithin A fatty extract obtained from vegan sources that is the primary constituent of brain tissue and is spontaneously created by body cells. In addition to promoting healthy cell activity, lecithin also helps the heart, liver, and gallbladder work normally. Additionally necessary for skin and breast tissue regeneration is lecithin. Gamma Linoleic Acid Gamma linoleic acid, also referred to as GLA, is an Omega-6 fatty acid obtained from the evening primrose plant. GLA encourages healthy skin and maintains a normal inflammatory response. . Suggested Use Directions: Take four (4) capsules of Femesse two (2) times daily with eight ounces of water or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is recommended that the product be taken for a minimum of three (3) months before assessing results. Individual results may vary. Warning: Temporary soreness of the breast may occur. Do not take this product if pregnant or nursing. Caffeine Warning: Caffeine may disrupt the effectiveness of Femesse. For best results, refrain from consuming caffeinated beverages 30 minutes before and after the consumption of Femesse.

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.

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 1.

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. KD Ultra Components Per Capsule Vitamin K2 (Total): 1600 mcg • MK4- 1500 mcg • MK6- 8 mcg • MK7- 60 mcg • MK9- 32mcg Vitamin K1: 100 mcg Vitamin D3 (from reindeer lichen): 2500 IU Lipase: 500 FIP Order KD Ultra today to support strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system with the convenience of a single supplement! SUGGESTED USE Directions: Take 1-2 capsules daily of KD Ultra, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. If taking more than one capsule, they may be split up and taken with each meal, or taken all at once. Warning: Do not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking anti-coagulants, or if you are pregnant or nursing. 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 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.
