GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES

SOURCE AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES represent a proprietary blend of six plant-derived enzymes possessing protease and peptidase activities in a combination with lactase and papain.

MECHANISM OF ACTION
GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES are capable of degrading gluten, casein and soy proteins and preserving their enzymatic activities at a broad range of pH varying from very acidic (2.0) to very alkaline (12.0) ones. The enzymes can efficiently degrade correspondent food contaminations but cannot completely digest meals containing large amounts of the aforementioned proteins (for example, a sandwich or glass of milk).

HUMAN EXPERIENCE
No clinical trials utilizing GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES in patients with gluten intolerance or celiac disease have been published.

PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES should be avoided by individuals who are pregnant or lactating.

INTERACTIONS
Based on the mechanism of its biological activities, GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES may potentially degrade orally administered agents of protein and peptide origin.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Mild abdominal discomfort has been described upon rare occasions after consumption of GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES. This product should not be used by individuals allergic to papaya.

TOXICOLOGY
GLUTEN BREAKING ENZYMES are characterized by excellent acute and chronic toxicity profiles.

PANCREATIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

SOURCE AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
PANCREATIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES represent a porcine-derived, high-potency pancreatin.

MECHANISM OF ACTION
PANCREATIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES possess enzymatic activity specific for fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Extra amounts of lipase, specific for breakdown of dietary fat, are included. Tablet disintegration is carefully controlled to quickly release contents upon reaching the small intestine, thus avoiding destruction of enzymes by gastric acid.

HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Traditionally, supplemental pancreatic enzyme preparations are provided to individuals with pancreatic exocrine deficiency such as chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis who experience steatorrhea (increased amount of fat in the stool), which occurs from inadequate fat absorption. The delivery of sufficient enzyme concentrations into the duodenal lumen simultaneously with meals was shown to reduce nutrient malabsorption, improve the symptoms of steatorrhea, and in some cases alleviate the pain associated with chronic pancreatitis.

PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
PANCREATIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation.

INTERACTIONS
No significant drug interactions between PANCREATIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES and prescription remedies have been described.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Mild abdominal discomfort has been described upon rare occasions after consumption of PANCREATIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES. This product should not be used by individuals allergic to pork.

TOXICOLOGY
PANCREATIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES are characterized by excellent acute and chronic toxicity profiles.

PREBIOTIC
Microflora Essentials

Prebiotics are defined as non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of beneficial bacteria in the colon and enhance gastrointestinal and systemic immune functions. PREBIOTIC microbial base™ combines chicory inulin and oligofructose, highly effective prebiotics, with the immunomodulating actions of larch arabinogalactan and purified yeast beta-glucan.
Chicory-derived inulin and oligofructose are inulin-type fructans best known for their ability to sustain increases in populations of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Eubacterium, an important butyrate-producing species indigenous to the bowel. In addition, inulin-type fructans promote normal colon transit times, enhance absorption of calcium and magnesium, favorably modulate lipid levels, and improve gut mucosal barrier and immune functions.
Arabinogalactan, a polysaccharide derived from the Western Larch tree, is a highly soluble dietary fiber that enhances immune function by promoting cytokine production and increasing the number of natural killer cells. Arabinogalactan is metabolized to short-chain fatty acids acetate, butyrate, and propionate and reduces ammonia production.
Beta-glucan, a glucose polysaccharide prebiotic fiber, has broad, beneficial effect on immune function through enhancement of monocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells.

INTESTINAL CALM
MAGNOLIA BARK EXTRACT

SOURCE AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
MAGNOLIA BARK EXTRACT is a powdered extract from the bark of cultivated Magnolia officinalis. The identified biologically active ingredients from magnolia bark extract include magnolol (5,5'-Diallyl-2,2'-biphenyldiol) and honokiol [2-(4-hydroxy-3-prop-2-enyl-phenyl)- 4-prop-2-enyl-phenol].

MECHANISM OF ACTION
It has been demonstrated that magnolol and honokiol inhibit acetylcholine and calcium triggered smooth muscle contraction. In addition, both components possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic and broad spectrum antibiotic activity. Honokiol and to a lesser degree magnolol demonstrate antidepressant and anti-seizure activity via interaction with GABAA reseptors.

HUMAN EXPERIENCE
MAGNOLIA BARK has been used for centuries as a traditional Chinese medicine to treat abdominal discomfort and chest tightness. Limited clinical trials indicate that magnolia bark extract may benefit individuals with spastic colon and bronchospasm. The supplement has also been used to help individuals with mood disorders.

PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
MAGNOLIA BARK EXTRACT should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation.

INTERACTIONS
Based on the mechanism of its biological activities, MAGNOLIA BARK EXTRACT may potentially interfere with atropine and atropine-like substances (muscarinic receptors antagonists), beta-blockers, narcotic analgesics, gabapentin, pregabalin and antidepressants.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Chronic administration of MAGNOLIA BARK EXTRACT at inappropriately high amounts potentially may be associated with constipation and excessive somnolence.

TOXICOLOGY
MAGNOLIA BARK EXTRACT is characterized by an excellent acute and chronic toxicity profiles. Rare reports regarding magnolia bark toxicity were due to the low quality of the products and their contamination with toxic substances.
