 Our Vitamin D is back & better than before; Introducing VD3K…
Why did we add the K?
  Of the many critical functions of vitamin D, one vital function is to promote the absorption of calcium and maintain adequate calcium levels in your blood.  Deficiency can cause bone loss and related degenerative issues.   Vitamin D works with Vitamin K, which is needed for blood clotting and promotes the accumulation of calcium in your bones and teeth.   Vitamin D ensures that your blood calcium is at a high enough level to meet your body’s needs. However, vitamin D does not fully control where the calcium in your body is absorbed. That is where the balance with vitamin K is required.   The intention was always to utilize the Edison Pack in every patient plan so that the co-nutrients, particularly Vitamin K, necessary for the proper regulation of calcium was being taken along with the Vitamin D. Now, the combination of these two products offers a level of supplementation that is unmatched at this price point & effectiveness.    Vitamin K promotes calcification of bone and reduces calcification in soft tissues.  There is a concern that Vit D without the K can lead to calcification in unwanted areas in the body. 

We have researched and worked with our biochemists to discover the most important elements of Vitamin K-2 to create the ideal blend for the new D3K…

  Our K-2 Blend includes both MK-7 and MK-4.  MK-7 is a form of vitamin K2 that has the greatest bioavailability and found in nutrients such as fermented foods.  Studies show that MK-7 decreases CRP, EST, DAS28-ESR, and MMP-3, thus extremely helpful in managing the health of bone and joint tissues. Additionally, we have MK-4 also proven to be clinically effective.

New Gut Health Panel… 

Leaky Gut – Many Ways to a Common Problem:

There are many ways that patients arrive at substantial digestive issues and/or the condition we call “Leaky Gut”. This condition is believed by many experts to be foundational to a mass of physical and emotional health problems and responsible for the scourge of many modern illnesses.

Core Elements of Leaky Gut
Unhealthy, inflamed stomach and intestinal lining imbalance of the biome (Balance of microbes)The GI tract becomes hyper permeable to foods and other immune triggering foreign proteins;   AKA – Leaky Gut Syndrome. As the GI ecology gets worse; inflammation in the gut and overgrowth of dysbiotic bacteria, fungus (Like Candida), and yeast increases while the balance of healthy microbes decreases. In this state, there is a greater and greater chance of food allergies and more total toxin absorption in the GI Tract. These toxins include environmental pollutants that are hormone disruptors (act like hormones) in the body; that further worsen or initiate the Leaky Gut.  With the complex nature as to the presence and causes of the gut and that it is likely the most important program and area to evaluate, we are aggressively expanding our testing. At no additional cost, Candida will be added to both of the Food Sensitivity panels along with an additional 64 foods being added to our comprehensive food panel. (mentioned above)In addition to fungus, we’ll now be testing for bacteria and yeast. This same test will look for toxins as they are a major component of gut degeneration, digestive disorders, and the many related issues. Additionally, we will now offer the most direct and comprehensive way to assess the gut which is stool testing.  Please note, these changes are a couple of weeks out. We just wanted to keep you in the loop regarding all coming changes to our program.
