Serretia - Arthur Andrew Medical




NOW AVAILABLE AT VITAMIN WAGON

Serretia

Arthur Andrew Medical

Serretia (90 Capsules) is the world's strongest Serrapeptase with a minimum activity of 250,000 SPU's per dose.
Originally discovered in the intestine of silkworms, the proteolytic enzyme Serrapeptase is harnessed by Arthur Andrew Medical through the isolation of the microorganism, Serratia E-15.  Serrapeptase’s inherent ability to digest dead tissue enables the enzyme to successfully aid in supporting normal scar tissue, normal blood clotting, and allows for more fluid and natural blood flow throughout the body.*

Serrétia has a variety of different benefits that may help with the following:
  • Sport injuries*
  • Promote healthy sinus activity*
  • Promote free joint mobility*
  • Muscle tears and pulls*
  • Surgical recovery*
  • Normal fluid retention such as swelling*

Studies on Sport Injuries:

In Europe the overall use of systemic enzymes has been far more widespread than in the United States. In Germany in particular, systemic enzymes have been actively used for decades and are even used by the German National Hockey to support physical health.*
German Dr. M. W. Kleine and his team at the Sports Medicine Investigation Center in Grumwald, Germany, decided to look at 100 athletes in order to determine the ‘effectiveness of proteolytic enzymes’. Dr. Kleine took each subject and removed two cubic cm of blood from their anticubital vein. By reinserting the blood under the skin on each subject’s right forearm, Dr. Kleine and his team were able to reproduce a hematoma (blood clot). 50 of the subjects were then given placebo pills, while the other 50 subjects were given proteolytic enzymes; each subject taking one pill three times a day. The results speak for themselves: 35 or 70% of the 50 subjects that had been treated with enzymes reported considerably less discomfort, normal inflammation, a shorter lasting amount of discomfort on pressure and had the hematoma disappear in a shorter amount of time than their placebo counterparts.*

Preventative Uses for Serretia:

Serrétia can also be successfully used in order to support normal injury recovery times. In another German study researchers set out to discover how well serrapeptase could assuage the discomfort of subjects who have undergone surgery.*
The German study involved sixty-six subjects that had undergone surgery in order to treat the rupture of the knee ligament, which is often suffered by athletes and causes substantial discomfort and inflammation. The subjects were split into two groups; one of which took serrapeptase, while the other was given a placebo. Three days following the surgery, the subjects that were given serrapeptase were found to have a 50% reduction of inflammation and experienced less discomfort compared to their placebo counterparts.*


Frequently Asked Questions

What is Serretia?

Serretia is comprised of 99.99% pure Serratiopeptidase, more commonly known as Serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme originally discovered in the intestine of silkworms, and is produced by Arthur Andrew Medical through the isolation of the microorganism Serratia E-15. In Japan, Serrapeptase is commonly prescribed as a drug, but here in the US we can experience serrapeptase and all of its wonderful benefits without a prescription.*

How Does Serretia Work?

Taken on an empty stomach, Serrapeptase, a fibrinolytic (fibrin digesting) enzyme, enters the bloodstream via the small intestine. Serrapeptase supports normal fibrin production within the body; its inherent ability to digest waste particles enables the enzyme to support normal recovery times and support healthy circulation.*

Why Should I Take Serretia?

Serrapeptase has a variety of benefits, and has been found to successfully aid in normal scar tissue, normal blood clotting
and allows for more fluid and natural blood flow throughout the body.* Serrétia may help to improve recovery after sports injuries or surgery, muscle tears and pulls, sinus activity, joint mobility and fluid retention. Like other proteolytic enzymes, Serrapeptase serves as a healthy addition to conventional medicines.*

Can I Take Too Much Serrapeptase?

Although Serrétia contains highly potent Serrapeptase, it can safely be incorporated into your supplement regimen.* There have been no indications that one can over-dose from the use of systemic enzymes such as Serrapeptase.* However, it is important to follow dosaging instructions unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.*

Is Serretia Enteric Coated?

Enteric coatings are designed to protect enzymes and other supplements from stomach acid. Plastic-like chemicals known as phthalates are often used in this coating process. Phthalates are actually banned in children's toys in Europe and Mexico, so why would we ever include these in our formulas? Arthur Andrew Medical has instead developed an all-natural, chemical-free Acid Armor capsule. These capsules are comprised of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (vegetable capsules) with a micro threaded locking mechanism to prevent leaking. Acid Armor capsules have been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.*


Suggested use

When is the best time to take Serrétia?

For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.

Can I take Serrétia with other supplements?

Serrétia can be used safely with other dietary supplements. In fact, it is recommended that it be taken in conjunction with Neprinol or Syntol for additional proteolytic and fibrinolytic support.

How long does it take for Serrétia to work?

Although every person is different, some have reported feeling the effects of systemic enzymes in as little as 45 minutes. For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Serrapeptase has been clinically shown to thin mucosal secretions and limit pain due to injury. These effects are typically noticed within a very short time frame, though the other benefits of taking Serrétia on a regular basis are boundless and will progress with time.

Suggested Use:Take 2 capsules 1 to 3 times daily between meals or as recommended by your physician. Serretia can be safely taken with other dietary supplements.

Warning:Serrapeptase may thin the blood; consult your physician if you are currently taking anticoagulants.

For Biotin to properly be absorbed, essential minerals are also important to this process.
Why Should you take Biotin as a Supplement?
The process of canned or cured foods often destroys the necessary Biotin that we need.
If you are experiencing very dry skin or dark skin spots, thin and nails that are breaking easily or hair that is dry and damaged you will benefit tremendously from taking PurvanaMAX Hair, Skin & Nails supplement that is supplied in a vegetable capsule.
Our product combines Biotin, along with other essential nutrients such as Vitamin A, Niacin, B2, B6, B12, Folic Acid and Pantothenic Acid. These help in the absorption of biotin into your blood stream. With this you will start to notice stronger, nails that are less brittle, healthier longer hair that grows at a faster rate and skin that is more vibrant.
Biotion, which is water soluble, needs to be constantly replenished everyday in your diet since what is not used is expelled from your body. Our product is an excellent source of these needed nutrients since it provides your body what it needs to produce faster growing, stronger, and all around healthier hair.

Floraphage for Digestive Health - Arthur Andrew Medical


NOW AVAILABLE AT VITAMIN WAGON

Floraphage for Digestive Health

Arthur Andrew Medical



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 potency or growth of each respective product. The average increase in CFU activity, which is 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 who do not take probiotics in order to maximize indigenous bacteria growth.

*Floraphage and Beneficial Bacteria.

Floraphage was able to increase the growth rate of supplemented probiotics by an average of 24x compared to control.*
*Each product was grown in a nutrient-rich broth to mimic normal digestive conditions, until each products bacteria reached a specified value using optical density (OD). OD measures the amount of light that is able to scatter through a mixture, and was simply used to verify that the bacteria for each product had started to divide (grow). Once each product reached an OD of .2 (that simply indicated that the bacteria were growing and no longer dormant), a one milliliter sampling of each product was grown with Floraphage and without (control). Each of the four tested products showed improvement when grown with Floraphage. 1 Jarro-Dophilus EPS is a registered trademark of Jarrow Formulas, Inc. and has no affiliation with Arthur Andrew Medical. 2 Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is a registered trademark of Essential Formulas, Inc. and has no affiliation with Arthur Andrew Medical. 3 PB 8 is a registered trademark of Nutrition Now, Inc. and has no affiliation with Arthur Andrew Medical.

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 anti-microbial, 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:

  • Increases the potency of any probiotic
  • Does not cause digestive discomfort
  • Selective anti-microbial properties
  • Can be taken alone or in combination with a probiotic
  • Starts working immediately

*Floraphage and Harmful Bacteria.

Lab tests indicated that when harmful bacterial cells were allowed to grow for 10 hours in the absence of Floraphage, the bacterial cell growth gradually increased over the 10-hour incubation period. This is illustrated below with the green growth curve increasing over the 10-hour incubation period. However, when these same bad bacteria were incubated along with Floraphage, the bad bacterial cell growth began to decrease after 60 minutes and continued to gradually decrease over the 10-hour incubation period (yellow growth curve). These results indicate that Florphage is effective at preventing the further growth of these harmful bacterial cells.

VITALITY C - American Nutriceuticals


AVAILABLE AT VITAMIN WAGON

3-Pack VITALITY C 200gm POWDER WITH GMS RIBOSE

This is also our replacement product for BioEnRGy C

Formulated by Garry Gordon, MD, DO, exclusively for American Nutriceuticals

Rest assured, you will not be out of your favorite Vitamin C!
We strive for a smooth transition for you in receiving the same high quality, high dose bioavailable Vitamin C.

BIO ENRGY C = VITALITY C
Vitality C  200 grams

  • High Dose Vitamin C without stomach upset
  • 4,000 mg per serving
  • Utilizes four uptake mechanisms for superior bioavailability
  • 4 Grams of high quality, neutral pH Vitamin C per scoop (tsp) & no stomach upset
  • Enhanced absorption using four unique uptake pathways
  • Powerful antioxidant, immune support and detoxification

    Vitality C is a pleasant tasting, non-acidic, high potency Vitamin C powder enhanced with a GMS Ribose Complex.  It contains 4 GRAMS (4000mg) of Vitamin C per teaspoon that can be taken without stomach upset, gas or diarrhea that usually comes with high doses of Vitamin C.
Vitality C Supplemental Facts
Vitality C utilizes four unique uptake pathways for superior absorption:

1.) Glucose Pathway- the common pathway for Vitamin C uptake.  Because many nutrients utilize this pathway, it appears that Vitality C does not have to “wait in line” to be absorbed and can use one of the other pathways if needed.

2.) Sodium Pathway- The fully attached elemental sodium molecule is another pathway utilized for absorption.  Since it does not break down in the gut, there is no stomach upset (as most Vitamin C products will do at this dosage).  Note this differs from common table salt in that it is not combined with chloride, the sodium salt most associated with hypertension.

3.) Pentose Phosphate Pathway- The added GMS-Ribose complex (a special glucose metabolite with a unique ribose fraction), uses the Pentose Phosphate pathway as an additional gateway for further absorption into the cell.

4.) Bioavailable Organic Sulphur (BOT)-  The BOT enhancement supports healthy connective tissues, but also creates more pliable and permeable cells.   When water and nutrients flow freely into cells, and wastes and toxins flow out properly, our bodies are able to eliminate toxins more efficiently and absorb nutrients more readily.

By utilizing these four unique uptake pathways, it maximizes absorption and bypasses the gut reaction that would normally occur when taking high levels.  This dosage allows for maximum support to the immune system and to aid detoxification.  Vitamin C is probably one of the most effective, safe and beneficial vitamins for fighting many chronic and degenerative diseases as well as fighting the common cold.  Vitality C is neutral tasting, can be easily mixed with any liquid and safe for all ages.

Strontium Support II - Advanced Orthomolecular Research




Available at Vitamin Wagon



Strontium Support II (NEW 120 VEGI-CAPS) 100% Vegetarian
Advanced Orthomolecular Research

Strontium Support II is an organic, stable strontium form (not to be confused with the radioactive strontium-90 isotope). Strontium is a trace mineral in the diet whose metabolism is closely tied to that of calcium, and which concentrates in the skeletal system, where it supports the function of osteoblasts (the cells which form new bone) while reducing the differentiation and activity of osteoclasts (the cells which resorb old bone). Extensive evidence supports a role for strontium in supporting skeletal health. 
Strontium:The First Bone-Building Supplement!
Bone loss accelerates suddenly in menopausal women because the drop in estrogen levels causes an increase in the resorption (teardown) of existing bone. But resorption is only half of the story. Age-related bone loss is also caused by a decrease in the formation of new bone tissue.
Existing drugs for treating osteoporosis, as well as calcium and vitamin D supplements, work by reducing bone resorption. But they do not support the formation of new bone. These drugs and nutrients increase the mineralization of bone, but they do not help the body to build new bone tissue. And in fact, within weeks of starting use of antiresorptive drugs like Fosamax,® the body's formation of new bone actually decreases. The resulting bone is less prone to fracture, but is not the same as youthful, healthy bone.
Strontium is a mineral found along with calcium in most foods. Research has long suggested that it may be an essential nutrient required for the normal development, structure, function, and health of the skeletal system. Clinical trials going back into the 1940s have supported this conclusion, but recent studies have provided evidence that it can offer unique nutritional support against loss of bone structure and function.
Strontium Support II conveniently provides high-quality strontium at an effective dose in only two capsules. 

Suggested Use
Take one to two capsules daily on an empty stomach, at least two hours before or after food, calcium or milk, but ensure that daily calcium intake is adequate.  Calcium, food and milk products significantly reduce strontium absorption if taken at the same time.

SUPPLEMENT FACTS:

Serving Size:                              2 Capsules      %   DRI
Strontium (from citrate) ..................642 mg           *
Produced through pharmaceutical synthesis
*Daily value not established
Other ingredients: none.
Capsule: Hypromellose
AOR guarantees that no ingredients not listed on the label have been added to the product. Contains no wheat, gluten, corn, nuts, dairy, soy, eggs, fish or shellfish.
Main Applications As reported by literature:
Supports skeletal health.
Source Pharmaceutical synthesis
Pregnancy / Nursing  No studies have been conducted. Best to avoid.

Cautions
Ensure calcium intake is also adequate. Do not take at the same time as calcium supplements. 
Additional Information:
Animal studies have shown that Strontium supplements both decrease bone resorption, and increase the formation of new bone tissue.
• In animal models, Strontium (in various forms, such as chloride, carbonate, gluconate, and lactate) causes "baby" osteoblasts (bone-building cells) to multiply more quickly.
• Bone tissue cultures which are exposed to Strontium synthesize more bone matrix and new bone collagen. The same amount of calcium has no effect on these parameters.
• In bone tissue culture, Strontium reduces bone resorption at concentrations at which calcium has no effect, prevents the resorption caused by excessive parathyroid hormone, and slows the rate at which immature osteoclasts develop.
• Strontium-supplemented diets boost bone strength in experimental animals without a negative impact on bone quality, even at extremely high doses.
Human clinical trials also support Strontium's ability to both support new bone formation and prevent excessive resorption.
• The results of early clinical trials using Strontium (lactate) led researchers to speculate that Strontium increased osteoblast activity.
• Bone biopsies from a small human pilot trial revealed an astounding 172.4% increase in new bone formation activity after six months of Strontium (gluconate) supplementation.
• The bone-building activity of osteoblasts can be measured using bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, while cross-linked N-telopeptide (NTx) and C-telopeptide (CTx) mark the degradation of bone collagen by ravaging osteoclasts.
