Vitamin D Supreme
Designs for Health
Vitamin D Supreme provides 5,000 IU of vitamin D per serving, making it ideal for use during the winter months.
Vitamins D and K are essential for optimal bone, arterial health and for maintaining the immune system in proper balance. Vitamin K is a precursor to Vitamin D, meaning they work together as a team.
Probiophage
Designs for Health
Remember that 70% of your immune system is in the gut.
Probiophage DF™ is a specialized dairy-free formulation combining four types of phages and prebiotics along with seven strains of probiotics.
What is a phage?
Phages (or “Bacteriophage”) are a benevolent virus that preys only on bacteria, never human cells. They are an effective way to help reduce the density of specific undesirable bacterial populations, while promoting the growth of beneficial strains.
This product is designed to support the proliferation of beneficial bacteria throughout the small and large intestines in order to promote healthy function of the gastrointestinal (GI) and immune systems.
Probiotics are naturally-occurring friendly bacteria that enhance health in several key ways, including:
Assisting with digestion and nutrient assimilation
Helping inhibit the overgrowth of harmful bacteria
Supporting the immune system
Maintaining bowel health and assisting with proper elimination
Helping restore and maintain balanced flora after antibiotics, which kill the beneficial gut flora
Immuno Zn Lozenge
Designs for Health
Immuno-Zn™ Lozenge is a combination of zinc and elderberry delivered in a fast-melting lozenge with a delicious mixed berry flavor to support overall immune health.
The lozenge delivery system is ideal for targeted absorption and may help support the upper gastrointestinal tract (i.e., throat) and upper respiratory tract health.*
Zinc is involved in virtually every aspect of the immune response, including supporting healthy white blood cells.
Adequate levels are essential for the healthy functioning of every cell in the body. The beneficial effects of zinc are extensive because this mineral is the body’s most abundant intracellular (i.e., inside the cells) trace element and at least 200 zinc-dependent enzymes have been identified.
Elderberry contains a variety of flavonoids that support healthy immune system function. It is high in antioxidants which are an important response against free radicals or compounds that damage cells and tissues in the body.
SPM Supreme
Designs for Health
SPM Supreme™ is a combination of three highly potent “specialized pro-resolving mediators” designed to help support the body’s natural ability to respond to physical challenges and “resolve” the initial steps in the body’s natural inflammatory processes.
Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are a large class of newly discovered molecules produced in the body (bloodstream, nervous tissue, breast milk) and are derived from naturally-occurring omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in foods such as fatty fish, nuts, and seeds.
SPMs themselves do not block the initial phase in the inflammatory pathway, which is a vital response to initial trauma or injury, but rather aid in the process of “resolving” it (hence their name).
In essence, SPMs signal the immune system, encouraging it to return to a state of balance.
Benefits*:
• Supports pain management & a healthy inflammatory response
• Promotes tissue repair & wound healing
• Calms immune system activity without suppressing a healthy immune response
• Potentially lacks the side effects often associated with common anti-inflammatory drugs
Vitality C
American Nutriceuticals
A powerful antioxidant, immune support and detoxification. What makes this vitamin C special is how easily it can be absorbed into the body.
It utilizes four unique uptake pathways for superior absorption. Two include:
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.
Vitamin A
Pure Encapsulations
Vitamin A is important for maintaining vision and promoting growth and development.
It also plays a critical role in supporting immune function. Several different types of cells with distinct functions all contribute to a healthy immune system.
Vitamin A influences the differentiation and specialization of these cells so that they can perform their unique roles. This key nutrient also contributes to the structural integrity and barrier function of the skin and the lining of the intestines and respiratory tract, which are among the body’s first lines of defense against unwanted organisms.
