Diverse Prebiotic Support

Benefits and Features

Ther-Botic® BiotaGen® works synergistically with probiotics to ensure intestinal microbiota balance^†

• Good source of fiber
• Promotes normal colon transit times while enhancing the absorption of calcium and magnesium^†
• Supports gut mucosal barrier and immune function by regulating intestinal epithelial cell growth and increasing populations of butyrate-producing species^†

Detail Overview

Ther-Biotic® BiotaGen® is a distinctive formulation of soluble dietary fiber with prebiotic activities that stimulate the growth of colonic populations of beneficial bacteria and enhance gastrointestinal and systemic immune function.^† BiotaGen® combines chicory inulin with the immunomodulating actions of larch arabinogalactan and purified yeast beta-glucan.^†

Chicory-derived inulin is an inulin-type fructan best known for its ability to sustain increases in populations of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Eubacterium, an important butyrate-producing species indigenous to the bowel.^† By escaping digestion and absorption in the small intestine, inulin-type fructans arrive largely intact in the colon where they selectively feed beneficial gut microbiota. In addition, inulin-type fructans promote normal colon transit times, enhance absorption of calcium and magnesium, favorably modulate lipid levels, support gut mucosal barrier and immune function, regulate intestinal epithelial cell growth, and reduce the number of potentially undesirable bacterial species.^† 

Arabinogalactan, a polysaccharide derived from the Western Larch tree, is a highly soluble dietary fiber that enhances immune function by promoting cytokine production and increasing the number of natural killer cells.† Indigestible by human enzymes, arabinogalactan exerts prebiotic properties including the ability to selectively stimulate Lactobacillus species. Arabinogalactan is metabolized to short-chain fatty acids (acetate, butyrate, and propionate) and reduces ammonia production.^† 

Beta-glucan, a glucose polysaccharide prebiotic fiber, has broad, beneficial effects on immune function through the enhancement of monocytes and macrophages. Beta-glucan stimulates immune responses to a wide spectrum of fungal, and undesirable microorganisms.^† 

Ther-Biotic® BiotaGen® is recommended to nutritionally support optimal gastrointestinal function, promote populations of healthful colonic bacteria, and enhance gastrointestinal and systemic immune function.^† Ther-Biotic® BiotaGen® works synergistically with probiotics to assure intestinal microbiota balance.^†

SUPPLEMENT FACTS

Bioavailable Natural Form

Vitamin D plays a vital role in your bone health.^† However, it has many other important roles too. Vitamin D receptors are widely distributed in the body, including the colon, prostate, breast, and ovary, where it acts to support body cells and tissues to mature normally.^† Many older adults and those with malabsorption, limited sun exposure, or certain illnesses may need higher intakes of vitamin D. This product provides 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 in its natural form that is easy for your body to digest, absorb, and use.

SUPPLEMENT FACTS

High-Potency Retinyl Form

Benefits and Features

• 7,500 mcg
• 25,000 IU
• Facilitating the support of visual and immune systems effectively

Detail Overview

Vitamin A, provided in the forms of retinyl palmitate and fish liver oil, is an indispensable nutrient with wide-ranging benefits for bodily health. Retinyl palmitate is a chemically stabilized ester form of retinol, which is an active form of vitamin A. This form is particularly beneficial as it is more stable and less susceptible to oxidation, making it a preferred choice in dietary supplements for ensuring consistent and reliable dosage. It is easily absorbed and utilized by the body, facilitating the support of visual and immune systems effectively.

Vitamin A's role in maintaining vision is paramount; it is crucial for the proper functioning of the retina, particularly in converting light into neural signals which enable vision in low-light conditions. This function is mediated by retinal, a specific form of vitamin A that interacts with protein opsin to form rhodopsin, a molecule integral to the vision process in dim lighting. Beyond its vision-enhancing capabilities, vitamin A is vital for the growth and development of cells lining the eyes. By supplementing with retinyl palmitate or fish liver oil, individuals can support their ocular health robustly, preserving and enhancing vision functionality.

The immune-enhancing properties of vitamin A are equally critical. It supports immune health by maintaining mucosal surfaces by helping in the production and function of white blood cells, which play a crucial role in capturing and clearing pathogens from the bloodstream and lymphatic system. This includes the lining of the airways and digestive tract, which are the body's first line of defense against disease-causing organisms. Vitamin A also influences the function of immune cells, including T-cells, B-cells, and cytokines, which coordinate the body's response to pathogens and inflammation. Moreover, it is integral to the skin's defense system, promoting the turnover of skin cells and maintaining the integrity of skin that serves as a barrier against environmental threats. By fostering these barriers and cellular functions, vitamin A plays an essential role in defending the body against infections and maintaining overall immune resilience.

SUPPLEMENT FACTS

Bioavailable, micronized form

Benefits and Features

DHEA is the most abundant androgen produced by the adrenal glands and supports many functions including:

• Healthy immune cell function
• Emotional wellbeing
• May promote a healthy ratio of lean muscle to fat mass

Detail Overview

Pure DHEA that has been micronized to very small particle sizes to facilitate absorption is provided in vegetarian capsules. Levels of this adrenal hormone begin to decline by your 30s. Supplementation may support immune function, metabolic health, and emotional well-being.

Supports insulin function and glucose regulation

Benefits and Features

D-chiro-inositol has been studied for its role in supporting healthy insulin and glucose metabolism, maintaining normal lipid profiles, and promoting healthy cardiovascular and ovarian function.^†

Detail Overview

This stereoisomer of inositol is a critical second messenger mediating cellular responses to insulin. Embedded in cell membranes, D-chiro-inositol is part of a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol complex that is hydrolyzed into two bioactive molecules upon exposure to insulin. These molecules regulate glucose disposal by activating pathways in which glucose is either converted to glycogen for storage or oxidatively metabolized to produce energy.^† Studies show D-chiro-inositol is involved in proper insulin and glucose metabolism and may have a role in maintaining normal lipid profiles, cardiovascular function, and ovarian function.^† It may also help regulate inflammatory stress and modulate serotonin activity.^† Derived from carob pods, D-Chiro-Inositol is recommended to support normal insulin function and blood sugar metabolism.
