Nucleotides are essential to the foundation of good health through good nutrition and provide the key to many biological processes. Nucleotides are primarily known as the building blocks of DNA and RNA.

They are needed by all of the cells in the human body during periods of regeneration, growth and repair. Additionally, nucleotides provide a cellular energy source, they mediate cellular signalling, help to regulate certain enzymes, along with a host of other functions.

Dietary nucleotides:
Some cells regenerate faster than others, such as immune cells and the cells of the gastrointestinal system, and the raised nucleotide demand cannot be met by the body’s own nucleotide production. In this case, the body must rely on nucleotides derived from the diet.

Dietary deficiencies:
Since our modern diet is largely devoid of nucleotide-rich foods, such as offal, nucleotides deficiencies occur, particularly during periods of growth, repair, methylation dysfunctions, and following gastrointestinal injury or infection.

Health issues:
Research shows that dietary deficiencies in nucleotides, particularly pyrimidines, have a significant impact on immune and gastrointestinal function, resulting in a variety of health issues.

Pure grade 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to support normal sleep patterns and balanced mood

Our 5-HTP is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to support their mood or sleep cycle naturally. 5-HTP is the immediate amino acid precursor to serotonin and is derived from tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in food, principally in meat and dairy products, but only about 3% of oral tryptophan is converted into serotonin. 70% of oral 5-HTP, on the other hand, is converted into serotonin, but is not found in food.

Where is 5-HTP sourced from?
Supplemental 5-HTP is naturally sourced from the seeds of the plant Griffonia simplicifolia.

What is 5-HTP?
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is naturally produced in your body from the amino acid tryptophan. Your body uses it to produce serotonin, a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells. Serotonin may also be converted in the body to melatonin, an important neurotransmitter that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.

What are the effects of low serotonin levels?
Low serotonin levels are associated with numerous health issues, in particular low mood, sleep disruption and difficulty maintaining healthy weight.

Key Features
50mg 5-HTP per capsule to support normal sleep patterns and balanced mood.
5-HTP is derived from the amino acid tryptophan and converted in the body into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter for brain and nerve function.
5-HTP may also be converted in the body to melatonin, an important neurotransmitter that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
70% of oral 5-HTP is converted into serotonin, compared with only about 3% oral tryptophan. However, unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP is not found in food and therefore requires supplementation.

Patented emulsified Oil of Oregano in sustained release form. Biotics Research Corporation is widely recognised for its emulsified fat-soluble nutrients and other lipids, microemulsified with the practical objective of increased absorption and bioavailability. This technology has now been applied to the oil of oregano. By emulsifying oregano extracts, the effective surface area of the oil is dramatically increased.

Provides a more bioavailable form of L-carnatine and helps the body produce energy. Hypoallergenic. Gluten and casein free. Capsules are plant based. Ultra Tested®.

Acetyl L-carnitine can help increase energy production in the mitochondria, which may boost both physical and mental energy. This product offers 250 mg of Acetyl L-carnitine in hypoallergenic capsules. Also known as ALCAR, Acetyl L-carnitine is synthesized to provide a more bioavailable form of L-carnitine, which is a derivative of the amino acid lysine. It offers antioxidant activity and promotes the production of glutathione. L-carnitine is made naturally in the body by the liver and kidneys, and then transported to other tissues such as the brain and heart. Like L-carnitine, acetyl-L- carnitine functions as an antioxidant and promotes the production of glutathione.

High-potency, activated forms

Active B Complex supplies a full complement of high-potency essential B vitamins in their coenzyme forms, providing optimal support directly usable by the human body. Active forms of B2 (as riboflavin 5’-phosphate) and B6 (as pyridoxal 5’-phosphate) are included with Metafolin® L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), a reduced and bioactive form of folate/folic acid, and Methylcobalamin, acting as a metabolic cofactor, to ensure the improved absorption, blood transport, and cellular utilization of vitamin B12.

Adrenavive I contains freeze-dried bovine whole adrenal glands from Procepts’ proprietary sources in New Zealand, internationally recognised as BSE-free. Their grass-fed cattle are reared as nature intended, without the use of growth-promoting hormones or antibiotics. For most of the year they are free to range on open grass pastures and whilst protected indoors during the winter months, they are fed naturally fermented grass (silage).

The whole adrenal glands are collected by EU approved abattoirs, freeze-dried and further processed using low temperature methods, to carefully preserve their raw nutritional value, before blending with a synergistic complex of Ribonucleotides, the raw building blocks of RNA and DNA for every cell.

Nucleotide Nutrition

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. As such, they are needed by all cells of the human body, particularly during periods of regeneration, growth and repair. Nucleotides are also involved in cellular energy production, help to mediate cellular signalling and regulate certain enzymes, along with many other cellular functions.

The body has an ability to produce small amounts of nucleotides itself, as well as to salvage them from old, non-functional cells. However, in tissues which normally have a high cellular turnover (e.g. in the gut, the production of immune cells, or in athletes), or when environmental stressors normally generate an increased demand (e.g infection or injury), then these synthesis and salvage pathways may not be sufficient to supply adequate amounts of nucleotides to the body. So depending on current circumstances, additional nucleotides derived from the diet can become essential for the body.

Historically, organ meats and fermented foods were the richest natural sources of nucleotides in the diet. But as intakes of these wholefood sources have declined in the modern diet, recent scientific interest has focussed on finding additional sources of nucleotide supplementation. As such, the purified complex of all four primary nucleotides added to this new formula, perfectly complements this premium quality organ meat supplement.
