For a long time, scientists have attempted to put together a substance that would increase the body's immune response without stimulating it to such an extent that it would turn against itself. Once again, Mother Nature held the answer they were looking for.

The PHYTOSTEROL concentrate used in the making of this supplement has been extracted from soya oil. Present in all plants, phytosterols are found in particularly high levels in oils. Unfortunately, the pace of modern life is such that the plants and oils that we eat hardly contain any of these precious molecules, one reason for this being that eight hours after picking, they are for the most part dissipated. The methods used to improve the look of food on shelves as well as our cooking and freezing habits do the rest. In other words, once in our plate, the fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains that we eat contain only very minute amounts of this truly marvelous substance.

Indeed, studies led on these particular phytochemicals have many times proven their numerous health benefits. Because they appear to aim specifically at helping T cells in restoring the balance between Th1 and Th2 cells, phytosterols are able to bring back the body's immune response without allowing for uncontrolled activities on the part of B cells, which produce antibodies. It is thus by increasing only the proliferation of certain specific lymphocytes that phytosterols help the body regain this essential but fragile equilibrium. For as we all know, the production of too many antibodies can lead to autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and many more. Phytosterols have indeed been used successfully in the treatment of these diseases, as well as for treating illnesses associated with a lack of antibodies, such as viral infections, cancer, AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis C.

A true revolution for proponents of preventive medicine, these phytochemicals, considered to be the « fat » of plants, also promote a decrease in LDL cholesterol levels while preserving normal levels of HDL cholesterol. Since their molecular structure is very similar to that of cholesterol, phytosterols compete with it and consequently contribute to a reduced absorption of bad cholesterol. In that manner, they become a natural and remarkable protection against vascular damage caused by oxidized cholesterol. It's in view of these facts that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Australian Heart Foundation Nutrition and Metabolism Advisory Committee have both authorized the claim to the effect that a regular intake of phytosterols reduces the risk of coronary problems.

Furthermore, because of their ability to regulate the production of keratin, phytosterols act to protect the skin against the loss of moisture, helping to keep it healthier, more elastic and more resistant to the passage of time. Clinical studies have also demonstrated that phytosterols help preserve a healthy prostate and contribute to the prevention of colon cancer due to their action on the excretion of bile salts. Moreover, people who take a good amount of phytosterols have also noted a considerable increase in their energy level. And it would seem that we have yet to discover many other benefits that stem from this valuable little molecule.

This fine orange-coloured powder is an entirely natural compound extracted from Gaspesia's Northern Shrimp. Through hydrolysis, the carotenoprotein is concentrated, along with the fatty acids, amino acids and minerals it contains. The highly concentrated substance that results is then subjected to a heat treatment and a spray drying process before being put into capsules.

In addition to the already known benefits of the fatty acids, amino acids and minerals it contains, NORTHERN SHRIMP CAROTENOPROTEINS supply an important intake of astaxanthin. A member of the carotenoid family*, astaxanthin is considered today by many as the “ultimate” antioxidant. This oxygenated pigment is indeed recognised to have up to 500 times the antioxidant capacity of Vitamin E and 10 times that of beta-carotene.

Not only does astaxanthin entrap free radicals, but it also inhibits unstable and reactive oxygen, thus giving it its anti-inflammatory properties. This same particularity also works to protect the eyes and the skin against harmful ultraviolet A and B radiation. Furthermore, because it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, astaxanthin reduces oxidative stress and may thus assist in the improvement of ocular and neurodegenerative conditions such as glaucoma, age-related maculopathy, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lou Gehrig's disease and multiple sclerosis. Research also shows that astaxanthin very likely increases cell gap junctional communication, a mechanism thought to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Clinical studies have also revealed various other astaxanthin-related benefits on the human body. The strength and endurance of those who had taken astaxanthin was seen to almost triple versus that of those who had taken a placebo. It has also proven to alleviate symptoms in patients who suffer from pre-ulcer indigestion related to the H. pylori bacteria.

Moreover, preclinical studies have shown that astaxanthin protects cell and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative damage, thus acting as a protection for the cell as a whole. It would also boost the immune system by increasing the number of antibody producing cells, prevent the initiation of cancer cells (in the tongue, oral cavity, large bowel, bladder, uterus and breast), reduce the number of abnormal cells in the liver, as well as diminish the risk of cardiovascular disease by inhibiting lipid peroxidation that causes plaque formation.

And last but not least, knowing that astaxanthin enhances the action of Vitamin C and Vitamin E and increases the release of Vitamin A from the liver, we can hence say that NORTHERN SHRIMP CAROTENOPROTEINS are not only a precious addition to the daily intake of dietary supplements but that they also increase the effect of many of those supplements.

For thousands of years now, COLOSTRUM has been valued and praised by ayurvedic practitioners. In more recent times, and up until the advent of antibiotics, doctors from around the world also used it. And what becomes a food supplement for us is nothing less than a complete food for the newborn. Indeed, during the two days that follow birth, this thick secretion, produced by mammals in gestation, supplies the newborn with all it needs to assure its survival.

Each drop of this precious substance contains immunoglobulins, growth factors, antibodies, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and other elements that prepare the body to face a lifetime of battles against the micro-organisms and toxins that will attempt to destroy it. As opposed to humans, who only produce a very small quantity, bovines produce approximately 9 gallons of colostrum. (The colostrum used in this supplement comes from healthy animals that have been raised without the use of hormones or pesticides. Frozen immediately after extraction, it is later spray-dried to ensure maximal retention of its immune factors and processed to remove as much fat and lactose as possible before being tested to guarantee its purity and quality.)

After puberty, the human body produces less and less of those immune and growth factors that fight unwelcome intruders and heal damaged tissues. Ageing and disease are the consequences of this slowing-down. But colostrum can help compensate for this loss. Even those who suffer from lactose intolerance can take colostrum as no side effects nor allergies have ever been associated with its use.

Clinical studies and personal experiences have testified to the countless benefits of colostrum. The list goes from simple colds to cancer, AIDS, diabetes, anemia, multiple sclerosis, allergies, lupus, chronic fatigue, herpes, asthma, depression, ulcerative colitis, ear infections and more. In fact, every illness that results from an invasion by micro-organisms or an immune deficiency can be improved by a regular intake of colostrum supplements. Research has shown that colostrum not only kills bacteria and viruses but also stimulates tissue repair (particularly that of the intestinal lining), increases the energy level by making better use of fats, and fights the effects of ageing by optimizing cellular reproduction.

In studying colostrum, scientists have also identified antibodies that are able to fight 19 specific pathogens, such as E.coli, salmonella, Candida, streptococcus, staphylococcus, h.pylori, cryptosporidium and rotavirus. The greater number of infection-causing organisms penetrate the body through the intestinal mucous membrane and it is believed that most immunoglobulins and antibodies present in colostrum are not absorbed by the system but rather remain in the intestinal tract to combat intruders as soon as they enter the body. The rest is thought to be assimilated and distributed in the organs to assist our own defence system. What is clear however is that the immune and growth factors contained in colostrum efficiently fight viruses, bacteria, fungus, allergens and toxins.

As for OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT, it has been used for hundreds of years in the Middle East for treating various infections and skin diseases. It is beneficial in the treatment of any condition related to a virus, a retrovirus, a bacterium or a protozoan. Its aiming ability gives it indeed very powerful antiviral properties. Its active element, oleuropein, appears in fact to disable intruders by destroying their outer membrane. Invaluable also in the treatment of degenerative diseases, oleuropein is known for its antioxidant properties and its capacity to increase blood flow in the coronary arteries, reduce arrhythmia, hypertension, and clumping of blood platelets that can lead to the formation of clots. It also promotes a reduction of glycemia and uric acid, and helps reduce intestinal muscle spasms.

Finally, the synergistic effect of the ascorbic acid and the bioflavonoids contained in CITRUS FRUIT EXTRACT augments the efficiency of this supplement by introducing other antioxidant, antimicrobial, immunostimulant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic agents.

The main active ingredients of this dietary supplement are ISOFLAVONES and carotenoproteins. The concentrated form of isoflavones contained in this product come from red clover leaves and flowers. Amongst the recognized benefits of these natural plant hormones lies their ability to alleviate the symptoms of menopause. As for carotenoproteins, a natural compound extracted from Gaspesia's Northern Shrimps, not only are they rich in fatty acids, amino acids and minerals, but they also offer an important intake of astaxanthin, a substance widely proclaimed for its great antioxidant properties. In this product, the carotenoproteins work in synergy with isoflavones to increase their benefits.

The seven following ISOFLAVONES are found in red clover: formonetin, daidzine, genestin, biochanin, daidzein, genestein and puerarin, the first two being present in the plant in a higher concentration. Also called “phytoestrogens”, these plant-growth regulators are known to possess a structure similar to that of estrogen.

It is a well-known fact that the decline of estrogen in the body is one of the main causes of osteoporosis, the progressive weakening of the bones that strikes many women after menopause. Studies have now shown that 40 mg of ISOFLAVONES per day will have an estrogenic action on the metabolism and can significantly reduce the loss of spinal bone mineral density and bone mineral content in premenopausal and perimenopausal women, thus helping to prevent osteoporosis.

Furthermore, unlike traditional estrogen treatments, the phytoestrogens contained in red clover do not bring about any thickening of the vaginal wall. Some research has even shown that a regular intake of estrogen in the form of isoflavones can reduce vaginal dryness in menopausal women as well as act as a protection against certain forms of cancer in postmenopausal women.

Aside from this direct action on the hormonal system, isoflavones would also play an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases as a result of their influence on the assimilation of good cholesterol and of their capacity to improve systemic arterial compliance.

Red clover has also been used to treat skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis, and other conditions that can arise from a high toxicity level in the body. Red clover is also known for its capacity to alleviate some of the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia, such as the increased frequency of night mictions. Moreover, some scientists have reported that genestein, one of the seven isoflavones derived from this plant, is very likely to act as a protection against the harmful ultraviolet rays.

As for the astaxanthin contained in the carotenoproteins, it is considered today by many as being the “ultimate” antioxidant. This oxygenated pigment is indeed recognized to have up to 500 times the antioxidant capacity of Vitamin E and 10 times that of beta-carotene. Its countless benefits have been well documented in scientific literature. Astaxanthin not only enhances the action of Vitamin C and Vitamin E and the release of Vitamin A from the liver, but it also works in synergy with dietary supplements to increase their action, in this case, that of ISOFLAVONES.
