Increases Telomerase Activity*
Cellular aging is the process by which a cell becomes old and dies, largely due to the shortening of its telomeres. Telomeres are the protective tips at the ends of chromosomes that protect our DNA. When the cell divides, the tips shorten. Over time, they become too short to sustain cell division and the cell dies. Other influences include age, stress, poor lifestyle choices and exposure to environmental toxins. To support healthy aging, it is essential to maintain telomere length.
Telomerase is a naturally occurring enzyme that lengthens telomeres and protects them from shortening. Telomere Pro has been shown to increase telomerase activity.*
Recommended Use: 1 capsule daily with or without food
Consult with a physician prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing.
Cellular aging is the process by which a cell becomes old and dies. To understand cellular aging, we must first understand the anatomy of a cell.
Our bodies are made up entirely of different types of cells, each with a different function. Every type of cell contains a center called a nucleus, which contains genetic information called DNA. DNA contains instructions that allow our cells to divide and correctly produce more cells. DNA is found in structures within the nucleus called chromosomes. At the ends of each chromosome, there are protective tips called telomeres, which keep the ends of the chromosome from degradation.
Telomere length has a lot to do with aging and is what some scientists have used to assess biological age.1 Young cells have long telomeres and older cells have short telomeres. This is because every time a cell divides, the telomeres get shorter and shorter. Eventually, they become too short to sustain cell division, and the cell dies. This is cellular aging. Other factors besides aging that may lead to accelerated telomere shortening include stress,2 lifestyle choices and environmental toxins.
Maintaining telomere length is essential to overall health, and can be accomplished by supplementing with a telomerase activator.* Telomerase is a naturally occurring enzyme that influences a cell’s ability to lengthen telomeres and prevent them from shortening. Most cells do not have sufficient levels of this enzyme to maintain telomere length.
The synergistic ingredients in Telomere Pro have been shown to activate telomerase and may support increased energy.*
The botanicals in Telomere Pro have been specially formulated to positively influence telomerase. Astragalus root3 has been shown to boost energy and provides immune support, while research shows that broccoli seed extract4 enhances the body’s tolerance to stress.* Rhodiola extract5 is often used for cellular protection and to boost enzyme activity.*
Vitamin D3 is known to boost the immune system6 and has been shown to have a positive correlation with telomere length.*
Recommended Use: One capsule daily with or without food. More may be taken if needed. Consult a physician prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing.
Warning: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Even individuals with healthy diets may experience digestive difficulty from time to time.
These difficulties often manifest in a variety of symptoms including occasional gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal discomfort, distention, irregularity or general food intolerance.
While antacids and laxatives may be used to treat symptoms, they fail to address the underlying cause of impaired digestion. Continuous use of such symptom suppressors may result in dependency, among other side effects.
Complete Digestion provides digestive support from a blend of digestive enzymes, probiotics and nutraceuticals. The combination provides critical support for a healthy intestinal environment and works to aid impaired digestion, the fundamental cause of intestinal disturbance.
Enzymes are the most effective tools made by the body to help digestion and the assimilation of nutrients. Nutrients supplied to the body are used as energy for various biological processes. When there is an insufficient quantity of digestive enzymes present in the body, undigested food may pass into the large intestine and be acted upon by intestinal flora. Byproducts of bacterial digestion and yeast fermentation include hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane gas. The consequence of this combination results in symptoms like occasional gas, bloating and discomfort or indigestion. Enzyme supplementation encourages healthy digestion of proteins, fats, fibers and carbohydrates, in addition to promoting an optimally functioning Gl tract.
Probiotics support regularity, aid the immune system, produce digestive enzymes and manufacture essential vitamins such as B and K. Supplemental probiotics promote an environment where beneficial microflora thrive. Complete Digestion contains 125 million active probiotic cultures in each capsule.
– Full spectrum enzyme supplement
– Vegetarian enzyme, probiotic and nutraceutical formula
– Support optimal digestion and intestinal wellbeing
– Soothe occasional indigestion, gas and bloating
– 125 million active probiotic cultures per capsuleThe probiotics in Complete Digestion fuel the digestive process to produce additional lactase, protease and amalase enzymes upon delivery to the lower GI tract. These enzymes offer synergistic benefis to the full spectrum formula, promoting optimal digestive health. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced in every cell. It is found in all raw foods and is the body’s natural source of energy. Supplementing with ATP complements a healthy diet by increasing the energy potential of the foods consumed. It is also a primary signaling molecule for healthy cellular process. One such process is the necessary production of Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) in the stomach, which supports protein digestion. ATP is instrumental for cells to benefit from the nutrition found in food. Without ATP, nutrients wouldn’t be able to pass through its membrane.
Stressors such as age and exercise can diminish ATP levels, Supplementing with ATP and ingredients that support ATP production can increase the body’s natural production. Supplementation may also decrease the energy demand of the digestive process, support nutrient absorption and improve HCL activity in the upper GI.

Maintaining an adequate immune system to elicit a healthy immune response is essential. Enzyme Defense Pro contains a high-potency proteolytic enzyme blend formulated with vitamin D3, L-lysine, and minerals to support and promote health immune function.
Enzymes are responsible for catalyzing and regulating biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. Specifically, enzymes are highly involved in regulating the body’s digestive and metabolic process, making them essential for cellular function and overall wellness.
Proteolytic enzymes, also known as proteases, are responsible for supporting digestion and metabolism by breaking down protein. Supplemental proteolytic enzymes have an established history of use for supporting immunity and promoting general well-being.
Supplemental proteases have been shown to be absorbed and carried into the bloodstream. While in the bloodstream, proteases bind to alpha-II macroglobulin (A2M). As a complex, the bound protease circulates through the body to become part of the immune system. The protease functions therapeutically by promoting cellular repair and recovery in addition to encouraging a healthy inflammatory response.
Enzyme Defense Pro offers a synergistic blend of proteolytic enzymes to support healthy immune function and cardiovascular wellness. Enzyme Defense pro contains Nattokinase, Serratiopeptidase, Catalase and Mucolase™. Scientific evidence shows the proteolytic enzymes Nattokinase and Serratiopeptidase support healthy circulation and speed recovery. These proteases may also stimulate phagocytes (cells that ingest foreign particular and debris) and accelerate elimination by way of the lymphatic system.
Nattokinase NSK-SD has been known to support healthy circulation due to its high fibrinolytic (breaks down fibrin) and antioxidant activity. Similarly, Serratiopeptidase works to support vascukar healthy through improved circulation tissue repair. Mucolase is a protein digesting enzyme targeted to break down excess mucus. Mucolase offers natural, non-drowsy support for occasional congestion.
Enzymes Defense Pro also includes Vitamin D3, well-studied for its support of healthy cardiovascular function and immunity. Considered the natural from of vitamin D, D3 is also synthesized in the skin in response to exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Supplementation is encouraged to promote seasonal well-being.
Critical to the synergy of the Enzyme Defense pro formula is the addition of L-lysine, an essential amino that must be obtained from food and supplements. Lysine, a building block for proteins, plays an important role in maintaining proper growth and repair Lysine supports seasonal wellness and a healthy immune response.

The National Institutes of Health estimate that 60 million Americans experience a burning sensation in the chest or acid taste in their throats at least once a month. Occasional heartburn is a digestive problem that may occur when stomach acid comes into contact with the lining of the esophagus, causing irritation.
Most People suffer from heartburn only occasionally, usually after a meal. Although commonly attributed to excessive acid production, occasional heartburn is often a symptom of impaired digestion as a result of factors including lifestyle, diet and genetics.
While many products are formulated to address symptoms, Acid calm contains natural enzymes that work with your body to soothe indigestion and enhance your bodyís natural digestive process.
Enzymes produced by the human digestive system play a vital role in overall health. They ensure proper breakdown, absorption and utilization from the foods we eat. A deficiency in our natural production of digestive enzymes can be an underlying cause of gastrointestinal complaints, including occasional heartburn and acid reflux.
Acid Calm contains vegetarian enzymes and botanicals to support digestion and soothe symptoms associated with gastrointestinal (GI) distress. Acid Calm contains amylase, lipase and cellulase Thera-blend enzymes to enhance carbohydrate, fat and fiber digestion.
Marshmallow Root has a high protein and mucilage-carbohydrate content the body can use manufacture the necessary materials for new tissue production. Marshmallow also has mucilaginous (adhesive) properties enabling it to surround and expel foreign and toxic matter, and providing a soothing effect on inflamed mucosal membrane tissue. Marshmallow has been known to relieve irritation and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts and to help normalize mucous secretions.
Papaya leaf naturally contains proteolyic (protein-digesting) enzymes and has been studied for its soothing benefits and cleansing activity within the GI tract. It has been known to support healthy inflammation and natural activity in the removal of improper proteins, promoting less stress on the bodyís natural digestive processes.
Herbal ingredient Gotu Kola provides additional support for soothing discomfort. Gotu Kola is uncommonly rich in B vitamins and potassium and is used as a natural diuretic.
Zinc carnosine is a combination of the trace mineral zinc and L-carnosine. Zinc carnosine is a potent antioxidant, promoting a healthy inflammatory response in the gut. It provides soothing support to the digestive tract, strengthening the mucosal lining of the stomach and acting as a buffer to gastric acid. Each one capsule serving of Acid Calm provides 10 mg of zinc carnosine. According to a recent clinical trial, researchers reported beneficial effects of zinc carnosine on gut integrity and repair with standard dosages of 37.5mg.

Healthy circulation depends on proper blood clotting and appropriate formation of fibrin, a protein in the blood produced as a response to inflammation. Fibrin is essential to stop excess blood loss in the event of bodily trauma or injury. As the vascular system is triggered with increased inflammation, the body’s inflammatory response is activated and fibrin is produced. Excessive cross-linked fibrin circulates through the bloodstream and may stick to the walls of blood vessels.
Nattokinase Pro™ employs a specialized approach to maintaining cardiovascular health.* While there are more than twenty enzymes in the body that assist in clotting the blood, there is only one capable of digesting clots (plasmin). The Nattokinase blend in Nattokinase Pro™ includes NSK-SD®, the only form of nattokinase that does not contain vitamin K2, to support healthy circulation by breaking down fibrin and increasing antioxidant activity.* Nattokinase NSK-SD®is sourced from the fermented soy bean product natto, and has been the subject of 17 studies. Included in these scientific studies are two small clinical trials with results indicating a heightened ability to dissolve blood clots and promote healthy blood pressure.* 1,2,3
Early research of nattokinase was done by Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi, a researcher for the Japan Ministry of Education. He found that a part of the Japanese fermented soybean food known as natto exhibited strong fibrinolytic activity, meaning simply that it is effective in breaking down fibrin, a protein that is involved in clotting the blood.4 He named the enzyme responsible for this activity ‘nattokinase.’ Dr. Sumi later commented that nattokinase showed “a potency matched by no other enzyme.”
Nattokinase Pro™ contains cellulase, amylase, protease and lipase Thera-blend™ enzymes. Thera-blend is an exclusive process that combines multiple strains of enzymes that work in specific pH levels, resulting in superior performance in the body. *
