TRI-IODINE (vegan) - EuroPharma - Terry Naturally


Available at Vitamin Wagon



TRI-IODINE (vegan)
EuroPharma - Terry Naturally

Recommendations: 1 capsule daily with food.   
Iodine is one of the most important minerals required for healthy cellular and complete metabolic function. There is no life without iodine and it has been estimated that the entire population is deficient in iodine. For thyroid support and to protect against forming of a goiter, only small amounts of iodine are required. But today, doctors have found that all tissues of the body require iodine. The breasts, ovaries, uterus and prostate tissue require large quantities of iodine. In the early 1900s Dr. Szent-Györgyi, the discoverer of vitamin C, was reported to have said that they did not know what iodine did in medical terms but it did everything good and was used for almost all health conditions. It is also reported that he himself ingested 1,000 mgs a day of iodine. The quality of health of Japanese women is far superior to women in the United States. It has been estimated that Japanese women ingest 12.5 mgs of iodine daily. On the island of Okinawa there are a higher percentage of people over 100 than anywhere else in the world. It has been reported that they ingest, through their diet, 80 to 200 mgs of iodine daily. Could iodine be the missing link to good health? According to several holistic physicians, the answer would be yes. The book by Dr. David Brownstein, Iodine, Why You Need It and Why You Can’t Live Without It, says it all.*

“Iodine is the most misunderstood nutrient. After 12 years of practicing medicine, I can say that it is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. I have yet to see any item that is more important to promoting health or optimizing the function of the immune system than iodine.” 
–David Brownstein, M.D.

How it works:

Tri-Iodine
Iodine is an essential mineral. However, the average intake of iodine in the United States is much lower than in other countries, particularly Japan, whose residents may consume as much as 200 milligrams of iodine daily. Although perhaps most widely recognized for its role in the formation of thyroid hormones, many organs in the body utilize iodine. Breast, uterine, prostate, and ovarian tissues in particular have high iodine requirements. Tri-Iodine combines three different forms of iodine in order to provide complete support for all body tissue types.*
Molecular iodine 
A review paper examining results obtained in studies of breast health noted that while all forms tested (molecular iodine, sodium iodide and potassium iodide) produced beneficial effects, the best results for breast support were achieved with molecular iodine.*1
Sodium and Potassium iodide 
Potassium and sodium iodide are the forms of iodine utilized by the thyroid. Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones. Supplemental iodide is important for healthy thyroid function.*2-4

Why SinuCare?  Immediate Action – Naturally!
SinuCare™ provides the soothing support of Eucalyptus and Myrtle to help you breathe easy. These unique botanical extracts have been shown to directly provide effective respiratory system support in part by their ability to support healthy cilia activity.

The nose and sinuses are lined with complex tissues that secrete mucus, which keeps the lining hydrated and acts as a barrier by trapping inhaled particles. The cilia brushes the mucus in a direction leading out of the sinus and nasal cavities. That's why healthy cilia function is required for clear and comfortable sinuses!*

Multi-Probiotic 40 Billion - Douglas Laboratories





Available at Vitamin Wagon


Multi-Probiotic 40 Billion
(This item has replaced iFlora Probiotic from Sedona Labs)


Douglas Laboratories

DESCRIPTION 
Multi-Probiotic 40 Billion contains 16 potent strains of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus cultures, including  the clinically researched Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 that supports gastrointestinal and immune function.†  Also included in the synbiotic blend is scFOS® prebiotic fiber that is well tolerated and works synergistically with probiotics to support healthy microflora in the intestinal tract.   Multi-Probiotic formulas by Douglas Laboratories are tested for product potency and identity to ensure viability, effectiveness, and label claim verification for every product. Multi-Probiotics include acid and bile resistant strains and undergo a patented cryoprotectant stabilization process. 

FUNCTIONS 

The microbiota of the human gastrointestinal tract plays a key role in nutrition and health. A delicate balance exists between the human intestinal microflora and its host. Upset of this community structure may promote undesirable conditions. Many different environmental factors may affect the gut microbial ecology; these include diet, medication, stress, age and general living conditions.  It is therefore important that gut microflora interactions be optimized with probiotics and prebiotics. 

Probiotics are supplemental live, beneficial intestinal micro-organisms for gastrointestinal health and immune support.†  Probiotics have been shown to exert a beneficial support through modification of the immune system host via the gut environment. Clinical trials also suggest that the exposure to healthy microbes through the gastrointestinal tract powerfully shapes immune function.†  

Multiple studies have indicated that multi-strain probiotic blends with lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and streptococcus can provide optimal support for a diverse range of health needs.† 

Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 is featured in Multi-Probiotic and has been clinically shown in research to support the immune system by supporting the function of leucocytes in adults and the elderly.†

It may also provide fetal immune support when consumed by pregnant mothers, according to one study. Clinical research also shows increased proportions of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus microflora in the human digestive tract after intake of B. lactis HN019.  This strain may also help in the maintenance of bowel regularity and normal GI function.†  

scFOS, also called short chain fructooligosaccharides, are prebiotics that have short molecular chains. They function as non-digestible fiber that can positively affect selected groups of beneficial intestinal microflora, such as lactobacillus. While probiotics merely add beneficial microflora, prebiotics influence the intestinal environment so that beneficial colonies of microflora can flourish. By aiding the beneficial microflora’s survival, less desirable microflora can have a decreased chance of survival. 


INDICATIONS 

Multi-Probiotic 40 Billion is indicated for individuals that want high potency probiotics to support the intestinal tract for healthy immune and digestive function.†

How it Works:
While the health benefits of curcumin, the active compound from the Indian spice known as turmeric, have been well-documented, it is also well-known that curcumin is not well-absorbed when taken orally (by mouth). Different methods have been used to increase absorption, including combining curcumin with lecithin or piperine (black pepper). The best absorption has been achieved when the extract is ground into a very small particle size and combined with turmeric oils and phospholipids. This combination is up to 10 times better absorbed than standard curcumin.
Curcumin
Curcumin, a compound found in the spice turmeric, supports multiple pathways in the body and is a potent antioxidant. Some of the benefits associated with curcumin include immune system modulation and protection from oxidative stress.* The specialized extract in this formula has the highest absorption of any curcumin extract available for maximum health benefits.1-12
