L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is converted into L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in the body. 5-HTP is then converted into serotonin and melatonin. Normal serotonin levels have been associated with normal moods, appropriate appetite and weight maintenance, and proper sleep. ARG 5-HTP is derived from a plant source, and is carefully tested to ensure its purity and to guarantee the absence of contaminants. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions. The dietary intake of neurotransmitter precursors has been subject to questions of efficacy, and the extra ingestion of plant derived promoters of serotonin provide a way of ensuring optimal availability of essential neurotransmitters. In theory, L-tyrosine, adenosyl-L-methionine, tryptophan, vitamin B6, chromium, melatonin, niacin, SAMe, St. John's wort, herbs and supplements with monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) activity, and magnesium may increase the effects or side effects associated with 5-HTP.

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a premier antioxidant, antitoxin, and immune support nutrient. NAC is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, and is a dietary precursor to reduced glutathione. Glutathione, cysteine, and NAC are sulphydryl (-SH) substances, which play crucial roles in the body’s natural antioxidant defences.
Antioxidant activity is important to homeostasis and to normal metabolism. NAC has superior bioavailability compared to glutathione and cysteine. As potent antioxidant free radical scavengers, the natural sulphydryl (-SH) substances can readily donate electrons, which makes them able to combine with, and thereby neutralise, a great variety of potentially toxic, reactive substances.
These -SH substances can also help protect against radiation damage, which is largely mediated by free radical formation. They are important physiological antitoxins, and are valuable for optimal immune function
As a precursor to glutathione (GSH), NAC is an excellent biochemical resource for aiding detoxification of environmental toxins (xenobiotics). It may contribute by supporting the mercury, lead and cadmium clearance from the body, NAC may help to buffer these heavy metals.
Reduced glutathione has long been recognised to play an essential role in immune function, especially via its antioxidant/reducing properties.
GSH may contribute to lower mucus viscosity, so that the lungs may be cleared more easily.
GSH levels in the various organs can decline with age, and NAC may contribute to the amelioration of GSH deficiencies related to aging.
Oral supplementation with glutathione appears not to be the best means for repleting the body’s glutathione levels, since it is largely broken down by intestinal enzymes and comparatively little is absorbed intact. NAC, on the other hand, appears to be an excellent dietary starting substance for building up reduced glutathione.
NAC is well tolerated and well absorbed, and is also more stable than its non-acetylated relative L-cysteine, which has a tendency to “auto-oxidise” (break down spontaneously within the gut and body).

Patented emulsified Oil of Oregano in sustained release form. Biotics Research Corporation is widely recognised for its emulsified fat-soluble nutrients and other lipids, microemulsified with the practical objective of increased absorption and bioavailability. This technology has now been applied to the oil of oregano. By emulsifying oregano extracts, the effective surface area of the oil is dramatically increased.
An additional step was to apply a sustained release mechanism to A.D.P., assuring a slow release throughout the digestive tract. The combined effect of emulsification and sustained release is to enhance intestinal exposure to the essential oil.
Unwelcome guests in the human gastrointestinal tract are more common and have a much greater negative impact on health than is commonly recognised. These bugs range from bacteria and yeasts to parasites and amoebas, hence the need to address these imbalances with anti-microbial agents. Nature contains many different anti-microbials and oregano oil extract, containing the active ingredient of carvacrol, is one of these. It has a broad range of action addressing many different species including B. Hominis but the list includes and is not limited to: Listeria monocytogenes, Giardia lamblia, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O:157:H7, Yersinia enterocolitica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Geotrichum (yeast), Rhodotorula (yeast), Entamoeba hartmanni, Entamoeba histolytica, Endolimax nana.

Biotics Research has developed a proprietary delivery system of utilising microemulsified cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) for enhanced absorption. It is absorbed into the lymph system before the first liver pass.
People not sufficiently exposed to the sun do not synthesise adequate vitamin D in order to meet physiological requirements.
While vitamin D is synergistic to both calcium and magnesium, and the importance it plays in neuro-musculoskeletal functioning has long been recognised, modern research is finding that vitamin D deficiency plays an important role in a wide variety of processes. This includes but are not limited to cardiovascular, immune, and psychological functioning.
The discovery of vitamin D receptors in tissues other than the gut and bone – particularly the brain, breast, prostate, and lymphocytes – has led recent researchers to suggest the utilisation of higher amounts of supplemental vitamin D for a wider range of applications in order to maintain and improve patient health.
Evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency is particularly common among patients with inflammatory and autoimmune disorders and that vitamin D can modulate inflammatory responses.
Biotics Research has developed a proprietary delivery system of utilising microemulsified cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) for enhanced absorption, which can be especially important with patients with malabsorption issues.

Clinical use of Biotics’ micro-emulsified vitamin D provides significant improvements in serum levels of 25-OH-vitamin D following supplementation. Bio-D-Mulsion Forte™ is an oil-in-water emulsion liquid. Vitamin D oil has been dispersed into microscopic particles to aid absorption and assimilation. There are 750 drops per small bottle (1 fl oz) which offers tremendous value for money for a highly absorbed form of this vital nutrient.
Much research has been undertaken on understanding the role of vitamin D within the body over the past 5 or so years. Its benefits are numerous and deficiency is widespread and its safety profile is extremely high. While the importance of vitamin D for musculoskeletal health is well documented, its importance in numerous other aspects of health are now recognized. They include (but are not limited to) cardiovascular health and immune function.
Therefore the argument to take additional amounts of vitamin D in supplement form is strongly compelling.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose that produces cellular energy in the body. ALA is naturally occurring and functions as an antioxidant throughout the body that helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione. ALA is a distinct antioxidant that is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, optimizing support to the body's capability in buffering free radicals for overall well-being.

Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing fatty acid that performs vitamin-like roles in the body but since the body produces lipoic-acid on its own, it is not classified as a true vitamin. It functions as a co-enzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates and is required for synthesis of acetyl CoA, a key metabolite in the cellular process that turns glucose (blood sugar) into energy. Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid contains BioEnhanced Na-RLA, the sodium salt of R-Lipoic acid. Pure R-Lipoic acid is a very unstable molecule that has a tendency to polymerize with exposure to heat, light, and moisture. BioEnhanced Na-RLA is a stabilized form of R-Lipoic acid that won't degrade at high temperatures.
How does it work? Lipoic acid is a key factor in the cellular process that metabolizes glucose for energy production. Aging is accompanied by a decreased ability of the liver to recycle ascorbic acid following oxidative stress. R-lipoic acid, has been shown after two weeks of supplementation to aged rats, to reverse the age-related impairment of ascorbic acid recycling and concentration in liver cells. Aging is also associated with oxidative stress in the brain. The brain's high rate of metabolism and its long-lived neurons make it particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Since lipoic-acid interrupts cellular oxidative processes in both its oxidized and reduced forms, it plays a modulatory role in the brain and nervous system.
Why should I take Doctor's Best Stabilized R-Lipoic-Acid? An ideal antioxidant would have the ability to quench a wide variety of free radicals, to support the functioning of other antioxidants, to bind or "chelate" metal ions that can generate free radicals, to function in watery and fatty environments and to be present in a variety of tissues, cells, and extracellular spaces. Lipoic-acid meets all of these criteria and is often termed as "the universal antioxidant." As we age, our ability to synthesize alpha-lipoic acid decreases. Age also brings an accumulation of oxidized proteins that interfere with mitochondrial efficiency and Alpha-lipoic acid addresses this situation. Alpha-lipoic acid comes in two forms, designated as "R-lipoic acid" and "S-lipoic acid." R- and S- lipoic acid are enantiomer isomers--molecules that appear as mirror images of each other. R-lipoic acid is naturally synthesized by humans, animals, and plants.
