NeoGenesis Health Vitamin B12 Energy Patch

The Transdermal delivery and release system provides a highly efficient, safe, and easy to use method for delivering active ingredients and other compounds to the body through intact skin, thereby offering many other advantages over the traditional dosage forms.

Methylcobalamin

The best form of vitamin B12 to supplement with is called methylcobalamin. This is the form that exists in nature, and it is pre-methylated, meaning it’s ready for your biochemistry to put to immediate use.

TAKING VITAMIN B12 AS AN ORAL DOSE IS LARGELY A WASTE OF MONEY, EVEN IF IT’S METHYLCOBALAMIN

As explained by Ed Sharpe: “The coenzyme form of vitamin B12 is known as methylcobalamin or methyl B12. It’s the only form of vitamin B12 which can directly participate in homocysteine metabolism.

In addition, converting homocysteine to methionine via methyl B12 generates an increased supply of SAMe (S-adenosyl methionine), the body’s most important methyl donor.”

Taking vitamin B12 as an oral dose is largely a waste of money, even if it’s the methylcobalamin form. As much as 99% of the B12 you swallow is not even absorbed – it just passes through your body. There is a whole range of digestive complexities that affect B12 absorption, and since most people these days have at least some degree of digestive imbalance, the oral route is mostly ineffective in correcting B12 deficiency.

There are only three effective routes of vitamin B12 administration: by injection; sublingually (dissolved under the tongue); and transdermally

Sublingual absorption is a viable route that also bypasses the challenges of the digestive tract. However, many of the sublingual B12 products also contain cyanocobalamin. The other challenge with the sublingual route is that once again all the vitamin B12 contained in the tablet is delivered to the bloodstream at once, which results in a large portion of the dose being eliminated by the body.

Remember, 1000mcg of vitamin B12 is not usually found in foods, so the body is not able to utilize this large amount of B12 in one dose. To effectively correct vitamin B12 deficiency, the body needs a constant supply of smaller quantities of B12 over several hours.

EACH PATCH DELIVERS 1000 MCG OF METHYLCOBALAMIN IN A STEADY TIME-RELEASE DOSE OVER A 24-HOUR PERIOD

Vitamin B12 injections obviously require injections from a trained medical professional, so few people pursue this route. The injections usually also contain cheap, synthetic cyanocobalamin.

Our revolutionary vitamin B12 patches, utilizing the latest in transdermal technology, addresses vitamin B12 deficiency by supplying 1000mcg methylcobalamin over a period of 24 hours through the skin, thereby ensuring optimal absorption and utilization of this essential nutrient.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency – Who are at risk?

One of the pitfalls of pursuing a healthy diet is that we are sometimes blind to nutrients we may be missing. Perhaps the most significant nutrient that we are at risk of becoming deficient in as a result of a healthy diet is vitamin B12. This essential nutrient plays a crucial role in nerve health and the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is especially common among vegetarians and vegans, but it’s also surprisingly common in meat eaters too. Why? Because vitamin B12 can only be absorbed in the small intestine, and due to common intestinal ailments, even many meat eaters who consume high levels of B12 are unable to absorb it. Research has shown that most people have some degree of digestive imbalance, which will lead to poor nutrient absorption, and nutrients that are difficult to absorb are most likely to be severely lacking.

This leads to a series of seemingly “mystery” health symptoms that actually have a simple common cause: vitamin B12 deficiency!

Symptoms of B-12 deficiency is shockingly widespread. Studies now show that up to 40% of the population may be clinically deficient in vitamin B12.

Here are some of the most common symptoms of deficiency:

> Chest pain or shortness of breath

> Fatigue or unexplained weakness

> Dizziness, trouble with balance and fainting

> Palpitations

> Confusion, memory loss or dementia

> Coldness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet

> Slow reflexes or diminished nervous system function

> Pale skin or yellowing of the skin

> Sore mouth and tongue

> High Homocysteine

> and also: sore muscles, headaches, nausea, heartburn, abdominal bloating, urinary or fecal incontinence, erectile dysfunction, apathy,depression, irritability, paranoia, hallucinations, psychosis, changes in personality and difficulty with balance and walking, In addition, vitamin B12 deficiency can actually cause brain shrinkage, according to a University of Oxford study. Although more work needs to be done, research is already suggesting a link between vitamin B12 deficiency and Alzheimer’s.

Vegans and vegetarians are prone to vitamin B12 deficiency, because typical vitamin B12 sources (meats, yogurt, etc.) are simply not present in their diets. But even meat eaters can be deficient in B12 due to poor digestion. This is especially true for older people who suffer a diminished ability to absorb nutrients in their small intestine. In addition, many chronic medicines, such as diabetes drugs and even pain pills can interfere with B12 absorption, and intestinal parasites can also strongly block its absorption in the gut. Flora imbalance in the digestive tract can also impact negatively on vitamin B12 levels.

Why you should be concerned about your

B12 status?

Vitamin B12 is a vital nutrient to the overall function of the body. It has several essential functions including:

> Production and maturation of red blood cells to allow adequate energy production.

> Production of the insulating fat layer around nerves.

> Protection from neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, dementia and depression.

> Increased production of dopamine, needed for adequate motivation and intestinal function.

> Breakdown and clearance of hormones.

> Proper DNA and RNA replication to promote enhanced healing, recovery and growth.

Are you at risk for a B12 Deficiency?

Here are just a few of the common reasons why you might be deficient in B12:

> Medications such as glucose regulating drugs and hormone replacement therapy, especially estrogen, interfere with B12 absorption.

> Antacids reduce the acid in the stomach needed to absorb B12.

> Low protein diets decrease the amount of B12 available.

> Altered intestinal function from a non-Paleo diet, grain consumption, stress or intestinal infections.

> Alcohol increases the excretion of B12 and its cofactors.

Aging results in a decreased ability to produce the necessary constituents such as hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor needed for B12 uptake.

> Reduced absorption can also be related to immune reactions against the cells of the stomach that release intrinsic factor, which plays an integral role in B12 absorption, a condition known as pernicious anemia.

> Stress inhibits gastric activity and efficient assimilation of nutrients.

> Correct form: It contains methylcobalamin (1000mcg per patch)

> Correct route: It delivers vitamin B12 through the skin, using a small medical-grade patch placed behind the ear.

> Correct dose: Each patch delivers 1000 mcg of methylcobalamin in a steady time-release dose over a 24- hour period.

> Synergism: In addition to methylcobalamin, each patch also delivers 400mcg of Folic Acid, which is widely known to work synergistically with methylcobalamin for heart and nervous system health.

> Contains no toxic cyanide

Kolorex Advance Care

Kolorex Advanced Care

Candida overgrowth or candidiasis was first described in paediatric texts as early as the 17th century. Nowadays, speculations are that approximately 33% of people in western countries suffer from candida overgrowth, with certain naturopathic schools of thought estimating over 80%. The reasons for this are put down to high consumption of antibiotics and dietary sugars that further promote candida proliferation.

A good anti-candida programme should involve both supplemental and dietary considerations. Kolorex Advanced Candida Care has been shown to help the body rid itself of candidiasis and support yeast management.

For best results a wholistic nutritional diet that includes whole foods and plenty of water should be adhered to, along with a lifestyle that moderates sugar and alcohol intake.

Most importantly – do not procrastinate. The sooner you act, the quicker candida will be controlled and good health will be restored.

They deliver the known benefits of Kolorex® Horopito, in an effective oral form:

  • easy to swallow
  • no bad taste

Amipro Lactizyme

Lactizyme

Digestive Support for Dairy

Contains plant-based enzymes and herbs to help digest and assimilate nutrients in a dairy based meal.

Relieves bloating, wind and cramps

Proteases break long protein chains (polypeptides) into smaller amino acid chains and eventually into single amino acids.

Amylases reduce large carbohydrates to disaccharide’s including sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

Lipases digest fats into free fatty acids and glycerol.

Cellulases break the bonds found in fibre.

Invertase a disccharidase that works to break down sucrose (refined table sugar) into glucose and fructose

Lactase digests lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose. Low lactase levels cause maldigestion of milk and other foods containing lactose.  It is estimated that approximately 70% of the world’s population in deficient in intestinal lactase with more than one-third of the U.S. population  unable to digest dairy products.

Supplemental lactase has been found to decrease the symptoms of   lactose intolerance associated with the consumption of dairy foods.

Caraway seed (Carum carvi) contains two chemicals, carvol and carvene, which soothes the smooth muscle tissue of the digestive tract and help expel gas.  This is helpful to those with Dairy intolerance because cramping and gas are common physical responses to the presence of dairy products in the digestive tract.

Spearmint (Mentha spicata) like peppermint,  provides quick relief for acute gastric upset resulting from conditions such as overeating, acute dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramps and colic.  Spearmint & other mints are effective in treating gastric conditions of nervous origin.

Fenugreek   is used in  as a digestive aid, to allay stomach pains, and to stimulate liver function.  The seeds have been shown to stimulate general pancreatic secretion, releasing more enzymes to aid in improving digestion. This herb has carminative and antispasmodic activities which help to soothe the stomach and ease indigestion.  Fenugreek stimulates the appetite. The combination of these herbs provides a maximum assimilation and utilization of food nutrients. Fenugreek seeds are also high in protein, with large amounts of amino acids: lysine, tryptophan, leucine, histidine, and arginine. These would naturally contribute to better digestion and assimilation of nutrients.  The mucilaginous nature of Fenugreek relieves pain and irritation of ulcers.

CereCalase  is a unique proprietary blend of the enzymes phytase, hemicellulase, and beta-glucasnase.  They work together to disrupt the cell walls of herbs, vegetables, and fruits.

Who should use Lactizyme?

Those with lactose intolerance

Amipro Digestizyme

Feel Healthy Amipro Digestizyme

Digestizyme

Digestive problems can cause improper digestion and malabsorption of nutrients that can have far reaching effects. Consequences of malabsorption can include impaired immunity, allergic reaction, poor wound healing, skin problems and mood swings.

Enzymes are an integral part of the digestive process. These enzymes come from two sources, those found in the food itself, and those produced in the body.

Why supplement with Enzymes?

Supplemental enzymes can improve the level of digestion and help assure that the maximum level of nutrient absorption is attained.

What are the main enzymes that help to digest food?

Proteases break long protein chains (polypeptides) into smaller amino acid chains and eventually into single amino acids.

Amylases reduce large carbohydrates to disaccharide’s including sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

Lipases digest fats into free fatty acids and glycerol.

Cellulases break the bonds found in fibre.

Invertase; a disccharidase that works to break down sucrose (refined table sugar) into glucose and fructose.

Extra Features:

Alpha-Galactosidase is included to break down a family of complex sugars found in some vegetables, and whole grains, as well as in legumes. These particular sugars, raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose, are indigestible because humans do not produce alpha-Galactosidase, required to break them down. As a result, they are not absorbed by the body. Left in the intestine, these sugars are fermented by the normal bacteria that inhabit the lower intestine with the subsequent formation of gas and bloating.

Botanicals:

Papaya leaf is a natural source of the proteolytic enzymes referred to as papain.

Fenugreek is used in as a digestive aid, to allay stomach pains, and to stimulate liver function. The seeds have been shown to stimulate general pancreatic secretion, releasing more enzymes to aid in improving digestion. This herb has carminative, antispasmodic activities which help to soothe the stomach and ease indigestion. Fenugreek stimulates the appetite and nature relieves pain and irritation of ulcers.The combination of these herbs provides a maximum assimilation and utilization of food nutrients. Fenugreek seeds are also high in protein, with large amounts of amino acids: lysine, tryptophan, leucine, histidine, and arginine. These would naturally contribute to better digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

CereCalase™ is a unique proprietary blend of the enzymes phytase, hemicellulase, and beta-glucasnase. These enzymes work together to disrupt the cell walls of herbs, vegetables, and fruits.

Wild Red Reishi Tincture

Wild Red Reishi Tincture

Wild Red Reishi

We were totally blown away when we realized we had Red Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) growing wild in our backyard!  What a treat!

A rare find

Wild Red Reishi on our doorstep!

We soon foraged further afield, and although we found a little more, we also found that this mushroom is indeed rare, unlike Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) or Ancient Reishi (Ganoderma applanatum), both of which are abundant in comparison.

Also unlike a lot of the other species growing here, Red Reishi is an annual mushroom, growing on hardwood – in our case, Blackwood, or Acacia melanoxylon.  It seems to favor older trees and loves old stumps, helping to break them down and create new life – but we have also found it growing on living trees too.

Wild reishi products are extremely rare as wild harvests are obviously limited – which doesn’t make for highly commercial products.  But we believe the increased potency of wild plants as well as the energies they absorb from growing in a wild natural environment rather than in a grow-room or controlled outdoor area makes this a precious, powerful product of note – this really is Wild African Energy at its best!

Reconnecting with the wild

The joy of finding Reishi that has grown wild rather than been grown in a hothouse is that it has absorbed all of the energies of the forest, of the weather, of the astrological activity – and we believe that that is what makes it so special, because it is these wild energies that we then take into our own bodies when we drink wild Reishi teas or tinctures.  This helps remind us of our wilder, more natural, less “domesticated” state of being and helps bring us closer to it.

Wild plants also have to be tough to survive as their predators are not controlled as they would be in a farming situation.  As a result they are vulnerable to attack and they develop potent chemical defenses against such attacks.  These chemical substances, if beneficial and biologically assimilable in our own bodies, then become “medicines” to us and can have profound health benefits.

Wild soils also tend to be far richer and less demineralized than cultivated soils and this, too, adds to the potency of wild plants.

Immuno-modulating benefits

 

Reishi will keep the immune system perfectly balanced.

The benefits of Reishi are many and varied.  One of its main benefits is that it is a very potent immune system modulator.  This means that it is capable of balancing the immune system either way – if the immune system is deficient or underactive it will bring it up again; if it is overactive (as in cases of auto-immune disease and allergies) it will regulate it back down.  The ganoderic acids in Reishi help to fight allergies and are also powerful anti-oxidants.

Liver & heart tonic

It is a potent liver tonic and energy booster.  It is used to improve cardiovascular health as it helps to lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol and reduce hardening of the arteries, angina and shortness of breath related to coronaryheart disease.

Stablilises blood sugar

Reishi also stabilises the blood sugar – very beneficial for diabetics/pre-diabetics – and for conditions of fatigue where fluctuating blood sugar levels occur.

Natural cancer protection

Reishi is, of course, also well-known for its anti-cancer properties.  This comes from its stimulatory effect on the body to produce interferon and interleukin-1 and -2 – which are our own bodies’ potent natural anti-cancer substances.  Stimulating our natural protection like this is probably what makes it such a strong protective substance against this disease.  Reishi also reduces angiogenesis – the formation of new blood vessels to tumours.  Reishi has also been shown to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, whilst at the same time building up the body’s immune system, which gets so damaged by these conventional cancer treatments.

Spiritual benefit

 

Reishi calms the mind and enables us to step into self-mastery

And last, but certainly far from least, is Reishi’s ability to bring about excellence on an inner, spiritual level.  It is known in Asia as the Mushroom of Spiritual Potency.  It is an incredible anti-stress herb and has been used for its spiritual benefits for thousands of years.  It is known to calm the mind, sharpen focus and concentration, improve memory, ease tension and build willpower, thus over time building great wisdom.  It is these “Shen” qualities that make it such a revered herb in Chinese tonic herbalism.  People who take a lot of Reishi on an ongoing basis will testify to its peace-bringing qualities – it helps people leave behind damaging habits.

The Supreme Protector

 

Aim HIGH on Reishi!

Reishi is known as the “Supreme Protector” because it protects us on every level – physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally.  When we are so looked after it is then easy for us to soar free and reach greater and greater heights in our lives.

We really can’t speak highly enough of this incredible herb.  Wild Red Reishi is also safe for anyone to take in any quantity – it is totally non-toxic and anything not taken up by the body will be automatically excreted.  It appears to have a cumulative effect in the body so… more IS more!

Dual extraction tinctures

The immuno-modulating effects of Reishi come from its beta-glucans and other beneficial polysaccharides and are extracted via a hot-water extraction.

The adaptogenic qualities of Reishi come from the terpenes it contains and these are extracted via an alcohol extraction process. Adaptogens assist the body in dealing with various types of stress – whether physical, emotional or mental. It is these adaptogenic qualities that make Reishi an effective anti-cancer medicine, liver & heart tonic and blood sugar-stabiliser.

African Forest Medicinals’ Wild Red Reishi Tincture is a dual-extract tincture – i.e. both hot water and alcohol combined – providing the best of both worlds in one single product.

Bottled in Miron

All our tinctures are bottled in superior Miron violet glass to ensure the highest level of protection against degrading UV radiation, thereby ensuring maximum freshness and shelf life.
