We all like to get more than we pay for, don't
we? We like a good deal, which is one of many reasons why I recommend you
purchase your nutrients from a health care professional instead of a chain or
discount store. With most over the counter brands, if you take a 50 mg tablet
of B6, you could also be getting as much as 450 mg of compressible sugar,
starch, lactose, cellulose, or dicalcium phosphate?
What if you are taking 3 products at a dose of 2
three times a day? The "inert" filler in that product could easily
add up to 4 or 5 grams. But what if you could buy a supplement that had
"food" as the tableting base. Even better, what if therapeutic levels
of nutrients were added to that food source while it's growing? This would give
the product enhanced nutrient levels to support clinical therapies yet the
fillers used would be food.
If the food was processed at low temperatures,
it could have therapeutic value and even enhance the effectiveness of the
nutrients. That was the thinking behind the Biotics Research "vegetable
culture tableting base," and the results have been beyond their
expectations.
Due to the exciting research in the late 70's on
superoxide dismutase, Biotics acquired a biotechnology division of a midsized
pharmaceutical company that was the first to commercially prepare superoxide
dismutase or SOD for short. It is essential that our bodies make SOD in the
mitochondria as well as the cytoplasm to protect the inner working of the cell.
Researchers estimate that SOD is the 5th most
prevalent enzyme in our bodies. Here are some of the ways SOD is used
therapeutically: conditions associated with excessive free radicals, low white
blood cells, rampant viral or bacterial infection, all forms of arthritis and
inflammation.
Most of the tablets and capsules in supplements
by Biotics Research have both SOD and catalase as the filler; so rather than
"inert sugars and powders," the Biotics tableting base provides real
food. About 20 years ago, Biotics expanded their phytochemistry lab and hired
additional biochemists with the express purpose to find out what else was in
their tableting base they call the vegetable culture.
One of their scientists, whose last name was so
difficult to pronounce everyone called him Dr. Dave, had worked for years with pharmaceutical
companies in the jungles isolating plant compounds. Dr. Dave found Biotics'
vegetable culture loaded with antioxidant compounds far beyond the SOD and
catalase. He found gram for gram that the tableting base had the highest
antioxidant capacity of any one single herb. That's amazing, the
"filler" yields significant antioxidant activity. Now, that's a good
deal.
Wellness clinicians worldwide use Biotics
because they can guarantee a biologically active tablet that will dissolve
quickly and easily and therapeutically delivers far more than is what is on the
label. Which product would you prefer to take if given the choice? Nutrients
from a discount store with "inert" fillers or therapeutic nutrients
integrated into a whole food base? This doesn't even take into consideration
the purity and activity of the therapeutic product. We are just talking about
the tableting base.
