- Supports cardiovascular, circulatory and immune health*
- Decreases the body’s recovery period after activity*
- Promotes healthy responses to systemic stress*
Serrapeptase Pro™
For support of Systemic Stress*
Systemic stress can result from the body’s physiological response as a natural defense mechanism to protect against threats and other foreign invaders, as a result the body can endure physical discomforts while the body is in a state of healing.
Serrapeptase is known to decrease the natural fluid viscosity in joints after physical impacts encouraging a quicker recovery to regain mobility and comfort which is especially beneficial to those who live an active lifestyle.*
Beyond Digestion
Proteolytic enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, are naturally produced by the human body to carry out essential functions of breaking down proteins into smaller peptides for efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.* Beyond digestion, research has demonstrated the effectiveness of supplemental proteolytic enzymes in other areas of health and wellness, including immune, cardiovascular, and systemic health.*
Serrapeptase Pro™ provides potent proteolytic enzymes featuring Serrapeptase to promote joint mobility, improve circulation, cardiovascular and immune health.*
Recommended Dose: Take 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after a meal. More may be taken as needed.
Product Size: Serrapeptase Pro comes in a 120 capsule size bottle.
History
Serrapeptase has a long history of use in traditional medicine throughout Asia and Europe for over 30 years and now has been extensively studied in North America for its therapeutic benefits.1
Serrapeptase also commonly referred to as serratiopeptidase, serratia E-15 protease, serralysin, serratia peptidase, or serrapeptidase, is a proteolytic enzyme produced by the enterobacterium Serratia marcescens E-15.1. Serrapeptase is an extracellular metalloendopeptidase consisting of 470 amino acids and contains a zinc atom at the active site, which plays a vital role in its ability to cleave peptides. Serrapeptase works by only targeting non-living tissues, also known as “dead proteins”. 2 Originally, Serrapeptase was isolated from the microorganism Serratia found naturally in the silkworm’s intestine, Bombyx mori L.2 However, our Serrapeptase is vegan sourced.
This vegan source of serrapeptase, eliminates the need for enteric coating, and provides minerals that make this high potency formula easy on the stomach.
Serrapeptase Mechanism of Action
Taken on an empty stomach, Serrapeptase is absorbed through the intestine and transported directly into the bloodstream.* The enzyme binds to alpha-2 macroglobulin, allowing it to retain enzymatic activity.* 3 Once in the body, it works to optimize health by having an affinity for proteins that are dead, damaged, or do not belong.*
The proteolytic nature of this enzyme allows for the ability to dissolve dead and damaged tissue that is a by-product of the healing response.* In addition to its proteolytic activity, Serrapeptase possesses both fibrinolytic and caseinolytic properties making this enzyme vital for circulatory and cardiovascular health.*
Science suggests that serrapeptase accelerates the healing process by decreasing the amount and viscosity of fluid in tissues.*4
In optimal health, the body undergoes physiological processes to maintain or restore homeostasis. Eating habits, exercise, weight management, sleep, and lifestyle choices all contribute to systemic stress which the body must react to. Assisting the body to naturally repair and recover accelerates homeostasis and encourages cardiovascular, circulatory, and immune health.

Stem XCell Pro contains the patented blend NT-020. Developed by a leading university, it has been shown to promote the growth and health of stem cells.*1 The combination also protects stem cells through powerful antioxidant action and promotes improved function in older stem cells.*
Stem XCell Pro also contains wild blueberry extract, vitamin D3, green tea extract, red wine extract, carnosine, Glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, SOD and six additional enzymes that have been added to enhance potency and effectiveness. All of these ingredients are beneficial in their own right, however, it is the specific combination that makes Stem XCell Pro unique and effective in supporting the body’s cellular health.*
Wild blueberries, with their high content of polyphenols, further promote general health and maintenance of healthy brain, cardiovascular, vision, joint and urinary tract function.* Research also indicates that VitaBlue Wild Blueberry Extract may help prevent some effects of premature aging by promoting adult stem cell regeneration.*2 Carnosine is an amino acid compound that is naturally present in muscle and brain tissue. Carnosine also has antioxidant activity, which is beneficial for protecting stem cells. In addition to supporting cardiovascular function, vitamin D3 supports adult stem cell self-renewal from bone marrow, and helps these cells become important immune cells for naturally fighting infections and abnormal cell growth.*
RECOMMENDED USE:
Take 2 capsules daily. More may be taken as recommended by a health care professional.
If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your physician prior to use.
* Supports the health and function of your body’s own stem cells*
* Provides optimal delivery and absorption*
Enhanced by Enzymatic Activity
The enzyme blends in Stem XCell Pro are aimed at supporting the immune system and optimizing antioxidant delivery and absorption.* Protease and antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD and catalase, are enzymes our bodies manufacture to maintain the immune system and scavenge free radicals.* This supports stem cell growth and function. The botanical enhanced enzymes in Stem XCell Pro are composed of carbohydrase enzymes formulated to assist with the delivery of important antioxidants found in this unique formula. Stem XCell Pro offers a unique approach to natural cellular regeneration.*
Promotes Stem Cell Health*
Stem cells are often referred to as master cells. According to the National Institutes of Health, the primary role of adult stem cells is to maintain and repair tissue. With age, adult stem cells decrease in number. Adult stem cells have the potential to develop into most tissues in the body and have the capacity to migrate toward problem or damaged areas.
Stem XCell Pro represents a synergistic blend of active botanicals, antioxidants and enzymes in one of the most exciting new formulas aimed at adult stem cell renewal.*
* Supports the health and function of your body’s own stem cells*
* Maintains optimal health of adult stem cell populations to support healthy immune and neurological systems*

Telomere Pro

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.
