Available at Vitamin Wagon


Ortho•Bone™ is a multi-nutrient combination designed to support bone health. It features ossein microcrystalline hydroxyapatite complex (MCHC Bone Meal), a lyophilized extract of bovine bone, which retains the intact microcrystalline structure of whole bone.

The MCHC in Ortho•Bone™ is derived from Australian pasture-fed, free-range livestock, not subjected to routine antibiotics or rBGH. Guaranteed free of bovine spongiform encephalopathy.*


ADULT DOSAGE:
Take up to ten capsules daily, dividing the dose among meals to facilitate maximum absorption, taking the largest single dose with the last meal or snack of the day, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner.

CAUTION: Persons taking anticoagulant (“blood thinning”) medications such as warfarin
(Coumadin®) must not take this supplement

ESSENTIAL NUTRACEUTICALS



Essential GSH-Liposomal Glutathione-5oz
Available at Vitamin Wagon



New 5oz Size Gives You 25% More Free
Glutathione (GSH) is often referred to as the body's master antioxidant. Glutathione can be found in virtually every cell of the human body. The highest concentration of glutathione is in the liver, making it critical in the body's detoxification process.
Glutathione is also an essential component to the body's natural defense system. Viruses, bacteria, heavy metal toxicity, radiation, certain medications, and even the normal process of aging can all cause free-radical damage to healthy cells and deplete glutathione. Glutathione depletion has been correlated with lower immune function and increased vulnerability to infection due to the liver's reduced ability to detoxify.
Advantages of Essential GSH™
What Makes Essential GSH™ Different?
No alcohol
Pharmaceutical grade base
Proven cell absorption via in vivo and in vitro exposure
Easily adjustable dosages – easy to measure
Contains essential phospholipids (no hydroxylated lecithin)
Gluten/casein free
SCD compliant
In Vitro Test Results
L2 cells were exposed to 2.5% Essential GSH™ and intracellular glutathione was measured after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours. Intracellular glutathione content was measured via the spectrophotometric recycling assay, normalized to total cellular protein.
Results clearly indicate that intracellular glutathione levels increased after exposure to Essential GSH™, peaking at 2 hours with over a 2-fold increase. The transient action of the increased glutathione remains unknown, although repression of the endogenous glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) enzyme through GSH-feedback inhibition may be a likely reason.

Essential GSH with BioGlute Complex is a breakthrough liquid formulation uniquely designed to increase the systemic bioavailability of glutathione, via a liposomal-based delivery. This unique formulation contains a pharmaceutical grade glutathione with essential phospholipids, while containing no alcohol or glycerine.

Glutathione is a peptide and an anti-oxidant naturally produced in the body. It is important to good health and long life. Levels may drop as a result of oxidative stress due to disease, drugs, aging, toxic chemicals, inflammation, and stress in general. Adequate levels of glutathione are necessary to provide important antioxidant protection needed by the cells, to help eliminate toxic metabolic waste products and to support the immune system.

What is a Liposome? Derived from lecithin, a liposome is a microscopic fluid-filled pouch with walls identical to the phospholipids that make up the human cell membranes. The outer wall of the liposome is fat solublewhile the inside is water-soluble. This combination enables liposomes to be readily absorbed, allowing for systemic availability of the water-soluble materials that would otherwise not be absorbed into the body. The administering of therapeutic compounds via liposomal technology has been effective in many areas. L2 cells were exposed to 2.5% Essential GSH and intracellular glutathione was measured after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours. Intracellular glutathione content was measured via the spectrophotometric recycling assay, normalized to total cellular protein. Results clearly indicate that intracellular glutathione levels increased after exposure to Essential GSH, peaking at 2 hours with over a 2-fold increase. The transient action of the increased glutathione remains unknown, although repression of the endogenous glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) enzyme through GSH-feedback inhibition may be a likely reason.
