Vitamin B12 works in blood and nerve cells.* Neurological function,
such as brain, spinal and optic nerves, and proper blood cell
functioning require vitamin B12.* For the heart, vitamin B12 helps
maintain healthy homocysteine levels in the blood.* It also helps
restore energy levels.*
Methylcobalamin is the active, functional form of vitamin B12 and
the sublingual delivery ensures better utilization* (most B12 vitamin
supplements are cyanocobalamin and rely on conversion for use). There
are many reasons to supplement with methylcobalamin; vegetarians,
seniors, people with gastrointestinal concerns, post medical
procedures, and those with the genetic susceptibility to low vitamin
B12 all can benefit.*

EpiCor® is a potent immune system modulator that helps regulate your body’s natural immune defenses. EpiCor® primes the immune responder cells in the blood so that they are on high alert to attack viruses and bacteria. At the same time EpiCor® redirects the immune system helping to prevent the immune cells from attacking the body itself. In other words, EpiCor® primes the immune system to attack non-self proteins, like bacteria and viruses, while supporting the immune system’s ability to recognize and to leave ‘self’ proteins alone. The immune system’s attack of ‘self’ proteins is the main feature of inflammation and inflammatory reactions.
EpiCor® enhances the body’s immune reaction by increasing the levels of CD4 “helper cells”and at the same time decreasing levels of CD8 “suppressor” cells. EpiCor® supports hyperactive immune systems to give them a more balanced, normal immune response.
EpiCor® should be taken daily to help minimize the risk and severity of colds and flus by improving the CD4/CD8 helper/suppressor cell ratio, resulting in a powerful shift in the body’s ability to defend itself against infectious agents. There is evidence that EpiCor®’s immune system modulatory effects improves over time.
Another important mechanism of action of EpiCor® is that it increases the levels of secretory IgA one of the five immunoglobulins that is a major first line of defense in infections that enter via mucosal surfaces. Secretory IgA envelops and makes our mucous membranes far more impervious to pathogens including bacteria and viruses. Secretory IgA has been proven to be a powerful antiviral agent. It not only protects the mouth and nasal passages, but also protects the mucous that lines the entire gastrointestinal tract.
EpiCor® is a yeast-based product manufactured by a multi-stage fermentation process. It has not been shown to have any negative effect on persons suffering from Candida albicans, or candidiasis. On the contrary, EpiCor® has been effective against E. Coli and Candida tropicalis. It acts as a probiotic, supporting healthy gastrointestinal flora. The proprietary MetaGen-4™ fermentation process also produces powerful antioxidants, including catechins, polyphenols, and resveratrol, all of which all contribute to EpiCor®’s high free radical quenching abilities. It has a high ORAC rating and quenches free radicals at levels as low as 1 part per trillion.
A blend a nutrients providing powerful immune support for those with
viral, fungal or bacterial concerns. This synergistic formula features
monolaurin, a derivative of lauric acid, which is a natural fatty acid
found in breast milk and certain vegetable oils. Lauric acid in mother’s
milk helps confer immunity to newborns and is widely recognized for its
antimicrobial properties. Glycyrrhizin supports gamma interferon
production and inhibits viral replication. Two Phyllanthus species
bolster the body’s natural defenses while supporting healthy liver
function.

A Natural Defense Against the Hidden Causes of Food Intolerance
Some people can tell when a particular food they ate disagreed with
them and they will avoid it, while others have been eating foods that
have been slowly eroding their health without noticing it because they
have become used to the low grade inflammation in their GI tracts. Many
common symptoms are really the result of the lectin interactions with
our immune systems. An example of a common lectin that many have heard
of is gluten or gliadin. Some of the post-meal reactions to lectins are:
• Headaches, brain fog, lack of concentration
• Skin problems such as itchiness, eczema, and acne
• Water retention, puffiness around the eyes, extremities
• Bloating – a very common symptom
• Easy weight gain and stubborn weight loss
• Chronic fatigue and post-meal fatigue
• Chronically clearing throat and excess mucous
• Respiratory symptoms like chronic, (non-illness) coughing
• Joint stiffness and pain (particularly in the morning)
• Urinary weakness or chronic inflammation or infection
• Abdominal pain and gas with meals, excessive belching (lectins can also lower the HCL levels impairing digestion)
• Gastric reflux and upset stomach
• Irritable bowel and spastic colon
• Hyperactivity
• Sinus problems, itchy nose, congestion and post-nasal drip
• Insulin shifts affecting blood sugar balance
Lectins are specialized proteins commonly found in fruits,
vegetables, and seafood, and especially in grains, beans and seeds.
They are not degraded by stomach acid or proteolytic enzymes, making
them virtually resistant to digestion. Certain lectins consumed in
everyday foods can bind to cells in the gut and to blood cells,
initiating an inflammatory response and contributing to such problems
as digestive disorders, weight gain, post-meal fatigue and immune
challenges. Lectin Lock™ is a unique blend designed to “lock up”
problematic lectins and safely escort them out of the body. Take with
every meal for better health now as part of a program of prevention for
the future.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential nutrient. Because it is
water-soluble and dietary intake varies, regular supplementation is
important. As an antioxidant, vitamin C works at the cellular level to
reduce the adverse effects of oxidation and premature aging.* Since it
is involved with the production of collagen and connective tissue,
vitamin C helps maintain functional and strong connective tissue, blood
vessels and capillaries, as well as healthy skin and gums.* It also
promotes healing and can reduce bruising.* Vitamin C has also been
shown to support immune and adrenal function, as well as reduce
allergic response.* Vitamin C from Complementary Prescriptions delivers
pure ascorbic acid in a vegetarian capsule.
