SpectraCell's Micronutrient Test Panel - Free Shipping Holistic Doctor Recommended Before the introduction of our tests, many diagnosis and risk assessments were based on clinical observation and measurements of static levels of certain nutrients in serum. Static serum levels are not always representative indicators for assessing cell metabolism and utilization.   SpectraCell’s micronutrient testing offers a unique means to scientifically assess the intracellular requirements of micronutrients that play an important role in overall health and wellness of your patients. Our tests measure the biochemical function of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, providing a powerful clinical assessment tool for your practice.   Our panels are designed to provide you with the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available. As the only lab that can offer a truly functional intracellular testing, SpectraCell also provides you with targeted nutrient repletion recommendations for those vitamins and minerals found to be deficient.   No consultation is included with this test, results will be sent to you. To have your results evaluated and receive diet and supplement recommendations, please contact us to schedule a consult with our Naturopath/Nutritionist!   Required Statement: Test kits and consultations are for educational purposes and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.   Test kits are not included in our bulk savings program.

Arginine Plus Suppository by Zetpil - Free Shipping   Holistic Doctor Recommended Oral arginine stimulates the release of arginase. Arginase decreases the systemic availability of Nitric Oxide (NO) leading to poor vascular health, diabetes complications, and erectile dysfunction.* Research indicates that NO bioavailability is compromised in the aging human heart and vasculature.*     Potential of Zetpil Arginine Plus   Arginine is a precursor to Nitric oxide (NO) and its production/bioavailability decreases with age. Nitric Oxide is a powerful protector against vascular “traumas” such as inflammation, plaque build-up and blood clots (thrombosis) which lead to cardiovascular diseases. * Endothelial dysfunction has been implicated in age-associated issues such as memory loss, hypertension, stroke, erectile dysfunction, and renal dysfunction.* Arginine increases blood flow which improves wound healing.* * THESE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE.   Supplement Facts Each Zetpil™ Arginine Plus contains the following ingredients:   L–Arginine (a proprietary blend of three of the most active forms of this free amino acid)           444mgs   Magnesium          160mgs   B3/Niacinamide    5mgs   B2/Riboflavin        5mgs   Folinic Acid           1.3mgs   **Note: Each Zetpil™ Arginine suppository is the equivalent of 4,000-5,000 mgs of oral Arginine.     Serving Size: 1 Suppository Servings Per Container: 60 Dosage and Use: 2 per day.

Arginine is a precursor to polyamines-the cell’s building blocks, which are important for wound repair. Arginine is the only substrate for nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide has a beneficial effect on circulatory status and increases blood supply to the wound. Arginine contains immune-enhancing properties that reduce the risk of infectious complications of a wound. “Nitric oxide (NO) is critical in defending against infection and is a potent antimicrobial. Work in humans shows that topically delivered NO (Arginine is substrate for NO and bypasses arginase when delivered through the skin vs. oral delivery) is clinically useful and no more toxic than currently available antimicrobials.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3442839/   Blood Flow:   Arginine is crucial in the formation of endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) that is required to maintain the plasticity of the endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels), repair the endothelium, and prevent the formation of fatty and atherosclerotic plaques. Nitric oxide is the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, causing the smooth muscle in the vessel wall to relax and the blood vessels to dilate. Adequate nitric oxide also helps to insure proper blood flow without increases in blood pressure. Nitric oxide increases blood flow to muscles to increase strength, endurance and overall muscle health. Arginine is an amino acid that is a growth hormone releaser. The decrease of growth hormone in the human body with aging is a major reason why muscle mass tends to decrease with age and body fat tends to increase with age. Neural Health:   Nitric oxide now also appears to be the neurotransmitter responsible for converting short-term memories to long-term memories in the brain. This is another ability that often declines with aging.

Mediclear Plus by Thorne Research - Free Shipping   Holistic Doctor Recommended   Per the manufacturer, Thorne Research products are not available for sale online to the public.  Please call us for more information. Product Information Mediclear Plus by Thorne Research contains all the nutritional components of MediClear with the added advantages of curcumin phytosome, grape seed phytosome, and green tea phytosome – all well-absorbed forms of these plant extracts for maintenance of the body's normal inflammatory response. Our external environment has become increasingly more polluted in the last 50 years, causing a greater cumulative toxic burden in humans than ever before. Unavoidable exposure to thousands of toxic chemicals in the environment has delivered up the daunting task of detoxifying and eliminating these substances from our bodies. Added to this are the many internally produced substances (hormones, biochemical metabolites) the body must detoxify on a daily basis. The result is a serious challenge to our organs of elimination, particularly the liver. In addition to this ever-increasing toxic load, the over-consumption of fats and sugars – and our reliance on nutrient-depleted vegetables, grains, fruits, and antibiotic- and hormone-laden meats – adds to the toxic load while providing inadequate nutrients for many metabolic processes, especially detoxification. The liver carries the greatest share of the detoxification burden, as it is the liver's job to change potentially harmful substances into non-toxic, water-soluble compounds that can be eliminated by the kidneys or intestines. The liver and other tissues participating in the detoxification process must have available the proper nutrient cofactors to efficiently accomplish this task.* In addition, specific botanicals are useful in assisting detoxification by the liver.* What is Phase I/Phase II Liver Detoxification? In phase I of liver detoxification, fat-soluble substances are converted to intermediate metabolites mainly by a group of enzymes called cytochrome p450 enzymes. The intermediate molecules are often more reactive and potentially more toxic than the original substance. Phase II detoxification involves the attachment of other molecules onto these intermediate metabolites to make them non-toxic and water-soluble and allow their elimination via the urine or intestines. MediClear Plus by Thorne Research Provides Liver Support* Providing essential nutrient cofactors, while supplying an adequate amount of low-allergenicity protein, can be very beneficial to liver function.* Health-care practitioners know that many challenges to health can arise when a patient's liver is not functioning as it should, including poor digestion, imbalances in intestinal bacteria, and fatigue. MediClear Plus includes beneficial detoxification nutrient cofactors,* as well as an array of extra nutrients and botanicals in powder form that can be added to water, or fruit or vegetable juice, resulting in a pleasant-tasting beverage. Why Rice and Pea Protein? Rice and pea protein are used in MediClear Plus by Thorne Research because of their low incidence of allergenicity. It is far more likely for dairy or soy protein to initiate an allergic reaction. Using rice and pea proteins allows you to eliminate most allergenic proteins from the diet, yet maintain high-quality protein intake Detoxification Cofactors MediClear Plus by Thorne Research contains vitamins and minerals necessary for detoxification and liver support.* These nutrients are provided in the most absorbable, best utilized forms, such as calcium and magnesium citrate-malate, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (active vitamin B6), folinic acid and L-5-MTHF (active forms of folate), methyl- and adenosylcobalamin (active forms of B12), and UltraChrome (Thorne's patented chromium).*   Ingredients Two Scoops (46 g) Contain: Calories 180 Calories from Fat 35 Total Fat 3.5 g.
