Although Western diets typically contain large amounts of omega-6 essential fatty acids from corn and safflower oils, the body?s conversion to the active GLA form can be impeded by various factors, thus disturbing fatty acid balance in favor of synthesis of proinflammatory compounds. Borage oil provides a higher ratio of GLA to linoleic acid than evening primrose oil and similar plant oils and can be used to help reestablish a healthier omega-6 fatty acid balance. Cold-pressed and free of hexane or other solvents.

SCD™ compliant formula

Benefits and Features

Lactobacillus acidophilus, one of the most important resident microorganisms in the small intestine, in a Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ program-compliant formula.^†

Detail Overview

Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the most important resident microorganisms in the small intestine. It can implant itself on the intestinal wall as well as in the lining of the wall of the vagina, cervix, and urethra, where it produces lactic and acetic acids that inhibit the colonization of undesirable microorganisms.^† L. acidophilus also produces lactocidin, acidophilin, and other natural substances that are antagonistic to undesirable microorganisms.^† L. acidophilus can also aid digestion and absorption of nutrients, stabilize bowel function, and produce lactase enzymes.^† This SCD™ compliant L. Acidophilus formula uses the same ATCC-certified strain found in our mixed probiotic formulas. This hardy microorganism is provided in a base of purified plant cellulose in a potency of 3 billion CFUs per capsule, making it suitable for individuals adhering to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ program who wish to supplement this important probiotic in support of intestinal health.

SUPPLEMENT FACTS

Supports brain and nerve function

Benefits and Features

• Supports cognitive function and emotional wellbeing^†
• Supports working memory^†
• Promotes healthy aging and behavioral performance including tasks of daily life^†
• Supports healthy phospholipid balance in cell membranes^†

SeraBella™ Plus promotes healthy brain cell structure and function to support memory, learning, cognitive function, and mood.^†

Detail Overview

Phosphatidylserine is the most abundant phospholipid in your brain. It is an essential part of healthy neuron membranes and vital for proper cell function including carrying signals throughout your brain, promoting cognitive function, emotional well-being, and behavioral performance.^† It has also been shown to support effective memory.^†1,2 In a six-month double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study of 425 people, daily phosphatidylserine supplementation resulted in statistically significant support of behavioral and cognitive parameters.^†3 In a placebo-controlled study of 149 subjects, the group receiving phosphatidylserine outperformed the placebo group in performance tests related to daily memory tasks.^†4 Phosphatidylcholine is a naturally occurring, integral component of the cellular membrane that adds fluidity and strength to cells. It contains choline, which is necessary for methylation, cell-to-cell communication, cognition, and liver function.⁵ Choline and its metabolites are the primary dietary sources of methyl groups. Methylation is involved in many processes, including neurotransmission, vitamin absorption, DNA synthesis, and gene regulation.⁶ Choline is required for the synthesis of phospholipids as well as the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in attention, learning, and memory. Certain genetic variations in MTHFR and PEMT, enzymes involved in methylation and choline synthesis, respectively, have been linked to increased dietary choline requirements.⁷ According to research, pregnant women with PEMT and MTHFR genetic variations should consume more choline.⁸ Another clinical trial discovered that pregnant women with PEMT and MTHFR genetic variations who consumed 480 mg of choline daily had offspring with faster processing speed than those who did not.⁹ PC is also important in the proper transport and metabolism of lipids. According to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, choline-containing lecithin may help support healthy hepatic fat metabolism.¹⁰ According to animal studies, PC promotes healthy liver and pancreatic antioxidant activity.^† Promotes healthy brain cell structure and function to support memory, learning, cognitive function, and mood.^†

Proteolytic enzymes offer broad systemic support for tissue repair and maintenance

Benefits and Features

Provides vegetarian-derived enzymes to modulate tissue restorative processes, and speed repair by breaking down proteins involved with pain and swelling.^†

Detail Overview

Serralase™ provides powerful, vegetarian proteases for use as a systemic enzyme formulation to support tissue repair and maintenance.† Proteolytic enzymes activate cells mediating tissue repair and break down cellular debris associated with inflammation metabolism, thereby supporting healthy vascular permeability, modulating tissue restorative processes, and speeding repair.^† Serratia peptidase (Peptizyme SP®^‡), a highly active and specific endopeptidase, is widely used to assist recovery after surgery or trauma, support joint function, and assist the respiratory system in breaking down and clearing mucus.^† Serratia peptidase also helps protect sensitive gastrointestinal tissue from irritation that can affect tissue health and intestinal comfort.^† Research shows Serratia peptidase breaks down biofilm and favorably modulates the immune response.^† Highly purified, stable Serratia peptidase cultured from a bacterial source is used. Bromelain (from pineapple) and papain (from papaya) broaden the proteolytic actions as each enzyme acts at different points on protein molecules. Catalase (bacterial source), a ubiquitous body enzyme, renders hydrogen peroxide harmless. Enteric coating protects enzyme activity against degradation by stomach acid.
