Now Available at Vitamin Wagon
 
Wobenzym PS 100 Count (Professional Strength)
Douglas Laboratories (Professional Line)
Manufactured by Mucos Pharma.
Highly active enzyme formula, all natural active ingredients

DESCRIPTION Douglas Laboratories, a leading provider of dietary supplements, is proud to offer its newest systemic enzyme supplement, Wobenzym PS. This product contains the authentic German Phlogenzym formula used by health professionals in Europe.

Wobenzym PS is clinically supported to help maintain healthy joint function† and is exclusively available to healthcare professionals. Wobenzym PS is offered in the form of enteric-coated tablets and provides a specific formulation of enzymes to the body to help maintain optimal immune function, and wound healing as well as muscle and tendon structure.†

FUNCTIONS For over 60 years, Wobenzym® has been a trusted name for systemic enzyme supplementation. Developed by leading scientists and used by millions of people worldwide, the family of Wobenzym® products has proven to be safe and useful for overall immune support.

Wobenzym PS in particular has numerous clinical studies that link its use to maintaining optimal joint health. In the human body, hundreds of chemical reactions occur during the course of normal metabolic processes. Many chemical reactions require significant energy in order to take place, and therefore need a catalyst to allow the reaction to proceed. The catalyst acts to lower the energy needed for the reaction to move forward. In the body, enzymes play the role of the catalyst and allow reactions to take place that otherwise would not occur. The enzyme itself is not consumed in this process and can be utilized again and again. Enzymes are relatively unique to each reaction and different enzymes will catalyze different reactions.

Structurally, enzymes are complex molecules that are comprised of amino acid chains and can sometimes include co-factors which assist the enzyme in the chemical reaction. Some enzymes are sensitive to changes in pH and temperature and can be destroyed if exposed to less than ideal conditions.

Wobenzym® PS is a systemic enzyme formulation that contains a unique blend of enzymes from both plants and animals that haves been clinically studied for supporting numerous processes in the body.† Systemic enzyme supplements work directly in the body after they are absorbed in the small intestine, and are not intended to aid in digestion. Consequently, these enzymes can be utilized to assist the body’s various regulatory and communications systems.† After the enzymes are absorbed, protease molecules can bind with molecules found within the blood including α -2-macroglobulin, resulting in the formulation of an α-2-macroglobulin-protease complex. This newly formed complex alters the molecular configuration of the α-2-macroglobulin molecule which results in a change in its affinity to bind certain cytokines. Once a cytokine is bound to the protease, the entire complex is able to be eliminated from the body, allowing normal cytokine balance and immune function to be maintained.

Wobenzym® PS can help to support healthy joints and muscles, and support the immune system as well as normal wound healing processes†. Wobenzym® PS tablets are enteric coated to ensure that the enzymes are protected and are not broken down in the stomach. This allows the enzymes to reach the small intestine where absorption can occur.

INDICATIONS Wobenzym® PS may be a useful dietary supplement for individuals wishing to support healthy joint, immune and circulatory function.

Ubiquinol-QH - Douglas Laboratories (Professional Line)

Available at Vitamin Wagon 

Ubiquinol-QH, 100mg, 30 Softgels, with VESIsorb Technology

Douglas Laboratories (Professional Line)



DESCRIPTION
Ubiquinol-QH, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a softgel containing 100 mg of natural ubiquinol in a patented, naturally self-assembling nano-colloid system called VESIsorb® technology for enhanced absorption.

FUNCTIONS Ubiquinol is the biologically reduced form of ubiquinone, also known as coenzyme Q10. Ubiquinone can be converted by the body into ubiquinol. While supplemental ubiquinone plays a valuable role in health and can be utilized by the body, recent studies indicate that as people age, the body's ability to convert ubiquinone to ubiquinol begins to decline. Since this nutrient plays critical roles in antioxidant, energy and cardiovascular function, ubiquinol may be of special importance for older adults looking to support normal aging and cardiovascular function. In one study, older adults with suboptimal cardiovascular function were found to be able to support and maintain their cardiovascular function with supplementation of ubiquinol.

Our Ubiquinol-QH is unique among other ubiquinol products as it utilizes the patented VESIsorb® technology to deliver ubiquinol. When mixed with an aqueous system, this patented technology results in the formation of a nano-colloid containing solubilized ubiquinol. This association colloid delivery system contains a highly uniform distribution of droplets that are less than 100 nm in diameter. The size and structure of these droplets allow for enhanced solubility and absorption of ubiquinol. The formation of the colloidal system upon contact with an aqueous environment (such as the lumen of the intestine) enables the solubilized ubiquinol to more easily diffuse across the unstirred water layer that is present between the enterocyte and the lumen of the intestine. One can demonstrate the enhanced solubility of the ubiquinol contained in Ubiquinol-QH by placing a capsule in warm water. Once the capsule opens, the contents can be easily mixed with the water, resulting in the formation of the association colloid. There is no separation of oil and water phases as is typical with more traditional delivery systems.

INDICATIONS Ubiquinol-QH may be a useful dietary supplement for individuals wishing to support cardiovascular function.

FORMULA (#201899) 1 softgel Contains: Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl) . . . .10 IU
Ubiquinol . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 mg (Kaneka QH™ reduced form of CoQ10)

Berberine Balance - Douglas Laboratories (Professional Line)

 
Available at Vitamin Wagon

Berberine Balance (60 Vegetarian Capsules)
Douglas Laboratories (Professional Line) Supplies high potency berberine combined with alpha lipoic acid and grape seed extract for blood sugar and cardiovascular support. Grape seed extract is a well known antioxidant with heart health benefits, and alpha lipoic acid helps to support proper insulin function.

FUNCTIONS
Berberine is a naturally occurring alkaloid and a primary constituent of several plants including barberry, goldenseal, and phellodendron. Recent studies indicate that berberine is a helpful supplement for maintaining cardiometabolic health and is considered effective and safe. Berberine has been shown to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism in vitro and in vivo.  In several clinical trials, berberine supplementation for three months resulted in healthy blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

Each vegetarian capsule contains:
Berberine HCl ........... 500 mg (from Berberis aristata extract, root)
Alpha lipoic acid ......50 mg
Grape Seed extract ... 50 mg

Other ingredients: Cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, vegetable stearate and silica. INDICATIONS Berberine Balance is a useful dietary supplement for those individuals who wish to support blood glucose metabolism and/or cholesterol maintenance.

Suggested Use:
Adults take 1 capsule twice daily or as directed by your health care professional.

Side Effects:
May cause gastrointestinal adverse effects in some individuals. Berberine may increase bilirubin levels. Berberine displaces bilirubin from albumin and increases total and unbound bilirubin concentrations.

Drug Interactions: Berberine appears to undergo phase I hepatic metabolism. There is preliminary evidence that berberine might inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4, 2C9, 2D6 enzymes. Therefore, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes in patients taking berberine.

WARNING: DO NOT TAKE IF PREGNANT OR LACTATING STORAGE Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
