A water extract of Convolvulus arvensis, field bindweed, containing a distinctive proteoglycan mixture.A water extract rather than an alcohol one, which determines what is actually captured. The proteoglycan fraction is what the formula is built around, and it is not...

Pycnogenol, the original French maritime pine bark extract, with its characteristic combination of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and phenolic acids.Pycnogenol is a registered, standardised extract with more than four hundred published papers behind it. Generic pine bark extract is not the same...

Freeze-dried pork pancreas tissue from range-grazed, government-inspected animals in New Zealand and Australia.The smaller bottle, and the sensible place to begin. Provenance and freeze-drying are what distinguish a glandular worth taking from one that is simply dried tissue.A traditional preparation...

A botanical complex built on sulforaphane, with green tea, green coffee, pomegranate, olive leaf, ginkgo and milk thistle extracts.Seven extracts is a lot to hold together, and the reason it works is that each is a characterised extract rather than...

Freeze-dried pork pancreas tissue from range-grazed, government-inspected animals in New Zealand and Australia.This is the large bottle, which is the one a practitioner orders when a protocol runs for a while. Freeze-drying rather than heat-drying preserves the material, and the...

Garum Armoricum, a fish hydrolysate prepared from blue ling caught in deep water off the Armorican coast of Brittany, with vitamins A and B6 and mixed tocopherols.The preparation is genuinely old, and the marine peptides it yields cannot be replicated...

A high-potency combination of vitamin B2 and B3, with the niacin supplied as inositol hexanicotinate.The niacin form is the point of difference. Inositol hexanicotinate behaves differently from plain nicotinic acid, and pairing it with riboflavin at this strength is a...

Three hardy lactobacillus strains: L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus and L. salivarius.Hardiness is the whole reason this exists. Delicate strains like acidophilus do not suit everyone, and this trio was assembled for people who have not got on with them. Freeze-dried...

L-methionine, an essential sulfur-bearing amino acid, in free form.Free form and high purity are the two things that matter with a single amino acid, because there is nothing else in the capsule to hide behind. It is well tolerated, which...

N-acetyl glucosamine from a vegan source.NAG differs from glucosamine sulfate in a specific way: the glucosamine is attached to an acetic acid molecule rather than a sulfuric one. Individuals respond differently to the two, which is exactly why a practitioner...

Three traditional herbal extracts in one capsule: milk thistle seed, Phyllanthus amarus leaf and dandelion root.Milk thistle is the one everyone knows; the other two are what make this a practitioner formula rather than a single herb. All three are...

Allergy Research Group's classic mixed mineral formula, developed by the company's founder Stephen A. Levine.Macrominerals, trace minerals and ultra-trace minerals in one capsule, with glutamic acid included as a mild acidifying agent to help the whole thing behave. It is...
