| Transfer Factors (OMRI APPROVED)
Transfer factors are naturally occurring immune active proteins known as lymphokines. These small polypeptides derived from bovine colostrum are the communication, memory and educational molecules of the immune system. They serve as immune messenger molecules that transfer antigenic immune recognition signals between white blood cells thus enhancing the immune response. There are over 3,500 peer-reviewed articles and nearly 50 years of research on transfer factors and their role in cell-mediated immunity. Studies suggest that transfer factors increase natural killer cell activity by nearly 300% and increase the functionality of T helper lymphocytes. Transfer factors have inducer and suppressor fractions - critical for a balanced immune response. Transfer factors have been successfully used to treat viral, fungal, parasitic, neurological, autoimmune and malignant diseases. Transfer factors are non-allergenic and non-species specific.
Targeted transfer factors, developed from avian egg, are antigen specific polypeptides that further enhance the accuracy and speed by which a challenged immune system will respond. Transfer factors support and optimize the physiology of the immune system and play a major role in restoring and maintaining immune system vitality. |

Heteropolysaccharides (USDA NOP CERTIFIED ORGANIC)
A proprietary blend of 20 mushrooms and hybrid strains in conjunction with concentrated mushroom extract. Eastern medicine has appreciated the medicinal value of mushrooms for thousands of years. Furthermore, nearly all antibiotics and cancer drugs are derived from mushroom glucans. Our team of mycobioligists have cultivated original strains of cordyceps from Tibet. A patented hybridization process enables us to concentrate the properties of these powerful glucans and increase the nucleosides of cordyceptin, adenosine and uridine. |

Ace mannans, Inositol hexaphosphate, Phytosterols, Olive Leaf (OMRI APPROVED)
The catalytic properties of these polysaccharides and their ability to enhance immune response is well documented. They facilitate cellular communication by exciting antigen processing cells and expediting the immune message. Acemannan and olive leaf have been utilized in the treatment of viral, fungal and bacteria infections. In addition, inositol and phytosterols may reduce cholesterol and aid in the prevention of heart disease. |

| Vitamins and Minerals (USDA NOP CERTIFIED ORGANIC SUPPLIER)
A complete, balanced vitamin and mineral profile supports cell metabolism and bone and tissue regeneration. The delicate values and ratios are based on nearly 40 years of research and formulating. The complex formula emphasizes proven anticarcinogens (e.g. Vitamin D3), powerful antioxidants (e.g. Vitamin C and Vitamin E) and immune enhancers (e.g. Biotin, zinc and selenium). |

Montmorillinite glacial deposit
Montmorillimite from rain forest glacial deposits provides 74 trace elements essential for the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. Bioavailability is significantly improved in this source. |
| |
| Amino Acids (USDA NOP CERTIFIED ORGANIC SUPPLIER)
We provide a balanced amino acid profile, emphasizing the most commonly deficient amino acids, necessary for growth and development and immune health. |
| |
Probiotics (OMRI APPROVED)
The gut flora is constantly threatened by stress, diet, and disease; therefore, we provide a high quality blend of organic probiotics to maintain a healthy gut flora. The reservoir of lymph tissue in the gut is dependent upon healthy, naturally occurring bacteria to facilitate immune response. |

| Essential fats
Essential fatty acids are vital to cellular functions and omega-3’s have valuable anti-inflammatory properties. Our fats are derived from the highest quality omega 3-6-9 sources available. We maintain a 5:1 ratio of omega-6:omega-3 to ensure an ideal balance for hair growth, bone and tissue repair and immune health. |

Methylsulfanylmethane
Methylsulfanylmethane is a powerful anti-inflammatory and sulfur donor. Sulfur is an essential nutrient for cell metabolism and immune health. |

Glucosamines
Glucosamine is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans, a major component of joint cartilage, and is commonly used to treat osteoarthritis. Glucosamine also has an anti-inflammatory effect. The ratio of glucosamine to vitamins and minerals is very important in order to best facilitate assimilation through the joint membrane. Ramaekers Nutrition has worked with glucosamines for 30 years to perfect this delicate balance. Furthermore, all glucosamines are not the same and larger quantities are not necessarily better. We use a high quality source of chicken egg membrane, rich in glucosamine, hyaluronic acid and aminoglycans to compliment our mineral, vitamin and chondroitin profile. |

| Chondroitin
Chondroitin sulfate is important in maintaining the structural integrity of tissue and is a major component of cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is widely used for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Ramaekers Nutrition utilizes pernacanniculus derived from green lip mussel because the inherent chitin provides a synergistic effect in this form of chondroitin sulfate.

Boswellic acid
Boswellic acid is a powerful pain reliever that mimics the effect of morphine by acting on similar neural pathways. Tolerance levels are very high and boswellic acid is very safe in conjunction with other medication protocols. Boswella is derived from the India gum tree which has years of history as a powerful analgesic. Boswellic acid has also been implicated in apoptosis of cancer cells and may also have hepatoprotective effects. |

Turmeric (curcumin)
Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and cox-2 inhibitor. Turmeric also has anticarcinogenic properties and is currently being investigated for possible benefits in cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and liver disorders. |
| |
Super oxide dismutase
The enzyme super oxide dismutase (SOD) is an important antioxidant that reduces free radical damage in cells. Furthermore, research shows that SOD can replicate the affect of cortisone and the powerful pain reliever Butazolidin at 60 to 70% on an equal dosage. SOD is currently used as an anti-inflammatory in veterinary medicine. |

Octocosonol
Octocosonol is a wheat germ extract studied as an exercise and physical performance enhancing agent used to reduce chronic fatigue. |
