Devigest Advanced Digestive Support is more powerful and concentrated than its earlier predecessors. Just one capsule with meals can ease the digestion of even the most troublesome of foods. Now more powerful and concentrated, Devigest can support reduced food irritations and sensitivities as well as reduce occasional abdominal gas and bloating. Devigest now contains a highly potent Peptidase with 500 units of DPP-IV activity per serving. Peptidase breaks down gluten and casein, two digestive irritants. Many formulas today have begun to utilize this amazing enzyme, but rarely is it incorporated in a broad spectrum blend, which leaves many formulas incomplete. Devigest is a complete and broad spectrum formula, making the need for supplementing other digestive enzyme products obsolete. Devigest also includes Alpha Galactosidase which is the active ingredient in the ever-popular product Beano®. Our bodies lack the enzymes that are responsible for breaking down certain carbohydrates in the small intestine. This causes improperly digested food to enter the large intestine where bacteria then begin to break it down, creating large amounts of gas which can lead to flatulence, abdominal bloating and digestive discomfort. Unlike many other gas medicines, Alpha Galactosidase can help prevent gas before it starts by breaking down the complex carbohydrates found in gassy foods into simpler, more easily digestible sugars. A similar phenomenon occurs with those that experience digestive distress when comsuming dairy foods. Lactose intolerance is the inability to break down lactose, which is milk sugar found in most dairy products. Lactose intolerance is the result of lacking the essential enzyme Lactase. Devigest now contains 444% more lactase than its predecessor per serving allowing those with lactose intolerance to enjoy dairy foods without the digestive distress. Proper digestion is a prerequisite for optimal health. Unless digestive physiology is in order, no other self-regulating or self-healing systems are able to perform in normal states. Devigest ADS serves not only in the aiding of the digestive process as a whole, but also therapeutic applications. Too often insufficient digestive enzyme production is overlooked as the culprit of indigestion and other digestive compliactions. Gas, bloating, incomplete digestion, and abdominal discomfort can play a part in the everyday life of many individuals. Properly digested foods add nutrients to our bodies, provide energy, and provide support to the countless other processes that are vital for proper human function. Supplementing with a high-quality digestive enzyme like Devigest ADS may be the answer to many of these concerns. Suggested Use Directions: Take 1 to 2 capsules between meals. Warning: Do not take Devigest without the consent of your physician if you are taking anti-coagulants or if you are pregnant or nursing. Is Devigest safe? No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking digestive enzymes such as Devigest. Clinical studies have shown that even extremely large doses of these enzymes are not toxic. When is the best time to take Devigest? For best results, take the product immediately prior to eating, or with your first bite. Devigest can also be taken after meals to alleviate digestive complications such as gas, bloating and indigestion. Can I take Devigest with other supplements? Devigest can be used safely with other dietary supplements. How long does it take for Devigest to work? The effects of digestive enzymes can be felt fairly quickly when taken after meals for indigestion, bloating or heartburn. When taking the product with meals containing foods that typically cause indigestion, the product should help alleviate the onset of these symptoms by assisting the body's digestive process. Supplement Facts Bromelain A proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple. Bromelain attacks the long chain polypeptides of proteins ingested, breaking them down into shorter chain peptides, which are then able to be broken down further by other enzymes. Protease A proteolytic enzyme that is capable of digesting nearly every type of protein; protease is responsible for digesting the bulk of ingested proteins and is one of the three enzymes found in our body’s natural pancreatic juices. Devigest contains a blend of proteases to broaden the pH range of the product. Dipeptidyl Peptidase A proteolytic enzyme responsible for completing the digestion of peptides to basic amino acids. Dipeptidyl Peptidase is primarily responsible for the breakdown of gluten which is found in food items made from grains such as wheat or rye. Alpha Galactosidase The primary enzyme used in popular gas-relief products such as Beano®, alpha galactosidase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down complex sugars into simple sugars. This allows for certain foods such as cruciferous vegetables and legumes to be more easily digested, reducing intestinal gas. Amylase An enzyme which partially breaks starch down into maltose; amylase is naturally excreted from the pancreas and saliva. Lipase Triggers the breakdown of fat into fatty acids. Lipase is the third enzyme that is found in our body’s natural pancreatic juices along with protease and amylase. Glucoamylase Converts starch into sugar like amylase, but is most active in a highly acidic pH. The inclusion of this component allows for many sugars to be broken down prior to exiting the stomach. Lactase The enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose. Cellulase An enzyme that digests cellulose, or plant fiber. Most animals (including humans) do not produce cellulase naturally and are therefore unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material. Xylanase An enzyme with the ability to digest artificial food dyes and preservatives, and is usually lacking in other digestive formulas. Papain Derived from the papaya, papain hydrolyzes protein peptides into basic amino acids. Potassium and Calcium Bicarbonates Nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract are absorbed most efficiently when the environment is alkaline (pH over 7). Bicarbonates help to alkalize the digestive tract, allowing for optimal absorption of nutrients and can also ease the symptoms of indigestion when taken after meals. Hemicellulase Breaks down hemicellulose, a type of polysaccharide that is more complex than simple sugar and present along with cellulose in all plant cell walls.

Devigest ADS was formulated to replace Devacor, the first digestive enzyme blend introduced by Arthur Andrew Medical. Devigest is a broad spectrum digestive enzyme blend that will help restore the body’s digestive enzymes, supporting balanced digestion and complete food assimilation. Devigest includes a much more potent blend of enzymes for breaking down gluten and dairy products. Additionally, our own pancreatic enzymes require an alkaline pH for maximum activity. Sodium and potassium bicarbonates, which are normal components of pancreatic juices, have been added to ensure that a sufficiently alkaline medium is present. How is Devigest Different From its Predecessors? Devigest includes a highly potent Peptidase with 500 units of DPP-IV activity per serving. It also now contains Alpha Galactosidase (the active ingredient in the product Beano®) as well as higher potency enzymes such as Lactase, Acid-Stable Protease, and Glucoamylase. Devigest was formulated to be more effective and provide even more relief for those with sensitivities to gluten, casein, dairy, and much more. Those with a diet high in gassy foods such as legumes and cruciferous vegetables will highly benefit from the addition of Alpha Galactosidase. What are “Digestive Enzymes”? Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. Every enzyme has a specific reactant known as a substrate, which can be thought of like a lock and key. Devigest contains several enzymes or “keys” that can “unlock” (or breakdown) many of the typical types of food common in our diets. The enzymes in Devigest ADS are specific to the digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Additional enzymes have been added to help digest dairy products as well as gluten and other food additives. How Do I Know if I Need Digestive Enzymes? A healthy body produces enzymes in sufficient quantities to ensure proper digestion of most foods. However, some people do not produce sufficient quantities of these enzymes, and often get the common symptoms of indigestion such as gas, bloating, heartburn, abdominal discomfort and constipation. These symptoms are common indicators that one may benefit from supplementation of a digestive enzyme. However, virtually everyone, even those who are asymptomatic, could benefit from the use of digestive enzymes. Why Devigest? Devigest ADS is the best choice for supporting optimal digestion. Unless digestive physiology is in order, no other self-regulating or self-healing systems are able to perform in optimal states, including immune function. Gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort can play a part in the everyday life of many individuals. Supplementing with a high-quality digestive enzyme may be the answer to many of these problems. How Does Devigest Work? Devigest ADS is an enzyme blend that allows for more complete digestion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Unlike Devigest, many digestive enzyme blends are incomplete as they lack the ability to break down common digestive irritants such as lactose and gluten. Devigest also includes an alkalization formula for optimal enzymatic activity. Is Devigest Safe? No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking digestive enzymes such as Devigest.

Consult your physician if you are currently taking anticoagulants Frequently Asked Questions What is Serretia? Serretia is comprised of 99.99% pure Serratiopeptidase, more commonly known as Serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme originally discovered in the intestine of silkworms, and is produced by Arthur Andrew Medical through the isolation of the microorganism Serratia E-15. In Japan, Serrapeptase is commonly prescribed as a drug, but here in the US we can experience serrapeptase and all of its wonderful benefits without a prescription.* How Does Serretia Work? Taken on an empty stomach, Serrapeptase, a fibrinolytic (fibrin digesting) enzyme, enters the bloodstream via the small intestine. Serrapeptase supports normal fibrin production within the body; its inherent ability to digest waste particles enables the enzyme to support normal recovery times and support healthy circulation.* Why Should I Take Serretia? Serrapeptase has a variety of benefits, and has been found to successfully aid in the breakdown of scar tissue, cysts, blood clots, and plaque. Serrétia may help to improve recovery after sports injuries or surgery, muscle tears and pulls, sinus activity, joint mobility and fluid retention. Like other proteolytic enzymes, Serrapeptase serves as a healthy choice without the risking detrimental effects on various organs, including the liver and kidneys.* Can I Take Too Much Serrapeptase? Although Serretia contains highly potent Serrapeptase, it can safely be incorporated into your supplement regimen. There have been no indications that one can over-dose from the use of systemic enzymes such as Serrapeptase. However, it is important to follow dosaging instructions unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.* Is Serretia Enteric Coated? Instead of using any type of enteric-coated serrapeptase, the serrapeptase supplement Serrétia uses a different technology known as Acid Armor. Acid Armor capsules are made of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (the main component of veggie caps). Acid Armor capsules have a better-designed way of fitting the two sides of the capsules together, which limits leaking. Acid Armor capsules have also been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour. When a product like Serrétia is taken on an empty stomach, the capsule enters and leaves the stomach in 30 minutes or less. This means that the Acid Armor provides more than enough time for the serrapeptase enzyme to get through the stomach and into the more "enzyme friendly" environment of the intestines.* When is the best time to take Serretia? For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.* Can I take Serrétia with other supplements? Serretia can be used safely with other dietary supplements. In fact, it is recommended that it be taken in conjunction with Neprinol or Syntol for additional proteolytic and fibrinolytic support.* How long does it take for Serretia to work? Although every person is different, some have reported feeling the effects of systemic enzymes in as little as 45 minutes. For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Serrapeptase has been shown to support normal scar tissue formation, normal blood clotting and allows for more fluid and natural blood flow throughout the body. These effects are typically noticed within a very short time frame, though the other benefits of taking Serrétia on a regular basis are boundless and will progress with time.*

FibroVera is a proprietary blend of microbial and botanical components selected to support uterine and breast health. Reproductive health is an important topic for men and women alike. For women however, understanding and feeling confident about the body and the ebb and flow of the menstrual cycle is almost always a daily concern. FibroVera is a gentle option that offers the opportunity of bringing balance back to women’s hormone levels. FibroVera is an all-natural unique blend of hormone balancing botanicals and enzymes designed to help women support health concerns stemming from hormonal irregularities. FibroVera provides fibrinolytic (fibrin eating) enzymes and cofactors that are specifically selected to promote normal fibrin activity. Healthy hormone levels will naturally promote normal fibrin activity as well as support normal premenstrual symptoms. FibroVera is intended to modulate the hormonal response, restoring inherent processes in a woman's body. Each component was carefully selected using only well researched and clinically supported ingredients. Dr. Andrew L. Rubman is a naturopathic physician and founder of the Southbury Clinic for Traditional Medicines in Connecticut. He is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and was inducted into the association's elite Founder's Club. He is also a Fellow of the International Association for Medical Preventics and a member of the National Center for Homeopathy, the Orthomolecular Medical Society, and the National Science Honor Society. His most current project has landed him as the primary formulator of Fibrovera AHS, a unique blend of botanical components clinically documented to restore hormonal balance in woman. Hormone modulating ingredients, combined with fibrinolytic enzymes, provides women with a direct defense against uterine and breast abnormalities.

Estrogen Dominance The phenomenon of Estrogen Dominance has been widely discussed with its relationship to fibroid growth. It is a prime contributor to the deregulation of normal function experienced by not only women approaching, transitioning, and resolving the challenge of menopause, but also those young women experiencing difficulty with menarche (the beginning of fertility). This imbalance is initially characterized by a number of factors: A decrease in DHEA due to stress, aging, poor diet, side effects of prescription drugs etc. A decrease in progesterone effect due to absolute decrease in synthesis secondary to inadequate cholesterol down-conversion and increasing insensitivity of progesterone receptors. The activation of a cross-conversion pathway that forces progesterone to act as a source for the synthesis of estrogens; decreasing both its bioavailability as a hormone, and as a substrate for the formation of adrenal cortical hormones. This concept, unfortunately like most of endocrinology, is difficult for the average person as well as many physicians to fully comprehend. Why is this concept important? It demonstrates that the best way to not only address conditions such as abnormal tissue growth and inflammation, is by providing the body with natural compounds that it can use to enhance processes that it already has in place to decrease symptoms and potentially undo tissue changes. The inclusion of a DHEA supplement may indirectly increase progesterone synthesis and act to alleviate the need for available progesterone scavenged to promote a significant source for the synthesis of estrogen; relying less on progesterone as source for estrogen conversion allowing progesterone to act freely opposing estrogen. [19],[20] This process is further supported by specifically including DIM in FibroVera, to discourage the aromatization of testosterone into estrogens. I have studied the emerging literature and incorporated it into treatment regimes for over a decade and now feel comfortable enough about its metabolism and effects to include it in an OTC formula. Yes, it is a steroidal hormone precursor, however at the dosage levels supplied; it can be regarded as underwriting the proper synthesis of the estrogens and testosterone as well as the balance and effects of a myriad of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. It is included at synergistic dose levels to help the individual not only do better, but feel better as well. The peer-reviewed research supports the safety and efficacy of DHEA and this inspires our choice and confidence Suggested Use Directions: Take 1 to 2 capsules with 8 oz of water between meals or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Warning:Do not take FibroVera without the consent of your physician if you are taking anti-coagulants or if you are pregnant or nursing. Is FibroVera safe? No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking FibroVera. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult with your physician before taking FibroVera. When is the best time to take FibroVera? For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal. Can I take FibroVera with other supplements? FibroVera can be used safely with other dietary supplements. How long does it take for FibroVera to work? For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Typically, when one is addressing hormonal challenges with a product such as FibroVera, symptoms of hormonal change can occur in a matter of days. This is the first step in the process, and the most important, as hormonal imbalances left in their unbalanced state can lead to a variety of health concerns. Supplement Facts Fibrinolytic Enzyme Blend Hormonal changes can often trigger excessive fibrin fibrin production. The proprietary fibrinolytic enzyme blend in FibroVera has been added to support healthy fibrin levels. Fibrinolytic enzymes can enhance the normal process of fibrinolysis (fibrin dissolving). Serrapeptase and nattokinase are exceptional fibrinolytic enzymes. Bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple, has the potential to soften and digest necrotic (or dead) proteins. Papain, a protease enzyme derived from papaya, is often combined with bromelain to support healthy inflammatory levels. Coenzyme Blend Calcium and magnesium adequacy are essential to pain modulation, as well as cramping and other PMS symptoms, and have been added as active ingredients as well as coenzymes. High doses of systemic enzymes can deplete the body’s coenzyme resources. Coenzymes provide the “fuel” necessary to power the processes of enzymes. Magnesium is a very active coenzyme, and is also essential in proper absorption of calcium. Hormonal Support Blend FibroVera also contains a proprietary blend of hormone modulating compounds that work synergistically to restore hormonal equilibrium. P5P, a vitamin B6 derivative is used by the central nervous system in the synthesis of two important neurotransmitter. Serotonin deficiencies are related to depression, sleep disturbances, and even fatigue. GLA, or gamma-Linolenic acid, is an omega-6 fatty acid that has been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response. Diindolmethane, also known as DIM, is an extract derived from cruciferous vegetables. DIM has been shown to modulate estrogen metabolism. The inclusion of DHEA, Dehydroepiandrosterone, may indirectly increase progesterone synthesis, in turn supporting hormone balance. The female tonic Dong Quai produces a relaxing effect on the muscle of the uterus by decreasing sensitivity to inflammation, making it useful for painful menstruation and tenderness. Liver Cleansing Blend As the primary site of hormone metabolite processing, healthy liver function is essential. Milk Thistle Seed has been studied extensively for its use in supporting healthy liver function. In conjunction with Dandelion Root and Hyssop Flowers, it serves to increase the liver’s ability to bind hormonal metabolites to bile and effectively move them into the intestine for excretion.

Frequently Asked Questions Will FibroVera help me when I become menopausal? The FibroVera formula was specifically formulated to help support many of the symptomatic challenges experienced by women in hormonal transitions. It is well to consider that many of the fluctuations preceding the cessation of menses may begin a full decade before. As many know, symptom clusters may persist many months and even years after the event. We believe that women experiencing difficulty associated with menopause will note substantial improvement with the consistent use of FibroVera. Can I take FibroVera if I am trying to conceive? FibroVera does not contain any ingredients that will negatively impact conception. However, if you become pregnant while taking FibroVera, or are nursing presently, discontinue use and ask your health care provider for advice on how to proceed. We are aware of the special concerns of pregnant women and our role in insuring safety. Unless drugs, OTCs, and supplements are specifically tested for their safety and efficacy while pregnant and nursing, they should not be used unless specifically evaluated and approved by your physician. Is FibroVera right for all women? FibroVera was designed with every woman in mind. FibroVera does not directly impact hormones. FibroVera provides the key ingredients that metabolize unwanted (non-beneficial) hormone metabolites while promoting the secretion and balance of good (beneficial) ones. FibroVera's ingredients are all natural components that work to replenish missing factors from diet, restoring the inherent processes in any woman's body. Can I take FibroVera with other supplements? FibroVera may be safely taken with Neprinol and other dietary supplements. Neprinol can increase the fibrinolytic (fibrin lysing) portion of FibroVera. Syntol can replenish beneficial flora in the body, and Devacor may reduce gastrointestinal stress induced by the process of digesting foods low in natural enzymes. If I am anemic, can I safely take FibroVera? Excessive blood loss can occur during menstruation.

Keeping progesterone and estrogen in the right ratios is essential to maintain hormone balance. There are many misconceptions regarding progesterone. For years it was thought to be a simple sex hormone. However, research has shown that progesterone is vital to men and women of all ages. For women, progesterone begins to be secreted right before ovulation, while a decrease in estrogen production occurs. The amounts of progesterone produced naturally in the body are measured in milligrams, much like many of today's vitamin and mineral supplements. On the other hand, estrogen is secreted in much smaller amounts, and therefore measured in micrograms, or 1,000th of a milligram. Due to this, it is easy to see how a miniscule increase in estrogen production can actually have a large effect on the body's overall hormone balance. Excessive estrogen, also known as estrogen dominance can lead to many unpleasant changes such as lowered energy, decreased libido and even weight gain. Many women have been lead to believe that estrogen is the answer to many common hormonal challenges, however this is not always the case. Hormone balance is vital for those trying to achieve proper health. Women are becoming increasingly susceptible to estrogen dominance due to many common items that we use in our everyday lives. Estrogen is commonly found in forms of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies, but also in many chemicals used in the production of the foods we eat. There are over 50 chemicals that have been identified as hormonal disruptors, and research has shown that many of today's pesticides actually mimic estrogen in our bodies. It is important to understand that hormone balance can be achieved in large part by increasing the amount of progesterone in one's body. Progesterone and estrogen are obviously not the only two hormones that are at work here, but progesterone plays a role that estrogen does not, and that is the fact that it is a precursor to many other hormones in the body. Progesterone is also calming, and counteracts many of the uncomfortable symptoms one would experience with excessive estrogen. It also has been shown to boost immune health and increase energy levels. Suggested Use Application:Proferia should be applied once daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Apply to areas where your skin is thin, such as the neck, breasts, inside the arms etc. The amount needed will vary from individual to individual and dependent on the symptoms experienced, typically ¼ to ½ of a teaspoon daily. Warning:Do not take Proferia without the consent of your physician if you are pregnant or nursing. When should I apply Proferia? Pre-Menopausal Women For best results it is recommended to begin using progesterone creams such as Proferia for a period of two weeks in between each menstrual cycle. Calculated from day 1 of the menstruation cycle (the first day of bleeding), begin using Proferia on Day 12 through day 26, applying as recommended above. Stop using the cream from day 27 through day 11 of the next cycle month. It is important to take these breaks each month in order to allow the body to re-sensitize to the cream. Alternate the area of application to maximize absorption. Post-Menopausal Women For best results it is recommended to apply Proferia as directed above for a period of 21 consecutive days during the month. Stop using Proferia for one week in order for the body to become re-sensitized to the progesterone. Alternate the area of application to maximize absorption. Ingredients Proferia is an exclusive all-natural proprietary blend of 30 specific bio-active skin factors and concentrated natural USP progesterone in a base of wild yam extract, pure water, and soothing aloe vera. Skin factors include the antioxidants A, C and E which assist in protection from free radicals. Proferia uses the highly soluble and well absorbed wild yam extract as a carrier of the USP progesterone. Creams that do not contain USP progesterone and depend on the body’s ability to naturally convert wild yam extract into progesterone will simply not work; the progesterone in Proferia is extracted from wild yam using USP methods to ensure safety, consistency and efficacy. Studies have shown that this natural progesterone is far safer than synthetic progestins. Contains no petroleum, lanolin, or other animal derived ingredients. Frequently Asked Questions What is Proféria? Proferia is a topical progesterone cream that may be used to increase progesterone levels in women who are estrogen dominant. Unlike other hormones, researchers have found that progesterone is optimally delivered to the body when applied through the skin as opposed to being administered orally. Proferia is all natural, containing no synthetic hormones typically prescribed by physicians. Why Proferia? Proferia contains a highly soluble wild yam extract as a base for its high absorption rate, as well as 500 mg of USP progesterone per ounce. It does not contain petroleum, lanolin, or other animal derived ingredients. Is Progesterone right for me? Studies have been conducted that demonstrate how natural progesterone is better and safer than progestin, which is commonly administered during hormone replacement therapy. Furthermore, natural progesterone has been found to render far better results when being used to stop or slow down bone loss in women suffering from osteoporosis and has even been found to help prevent the development of osteoporosis and many other hormone related conditions, including: estrogen dominance, low libido, blood clots, uterine fibroids, fibrocystic breasts, menopause and endometriosis. As always, it is recommended to consult with your physician before starting any hormone therapy. What is Mexican wild yam extract? Mexican wild yam has been shown to be an excellent source of natural progesterone. However, the human body cannot convert this extract into progesterone on its own. The progesterone must be extracted from Mexican wild yam in a laboratory setting, where it can then be standardized and tested for safety and efficacy. Progesterone can only be extracted from wild yam in a laboratory setting, as it is in Proferia, and the end result is a bio-identical hormone that is ideal for women suffering from hormonal imbalances such as estrogen dominance. Is Proferia safe? No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking Proferia. When is the best time to apply Proferia? For best results, apply the cream as directed (see "Suggested Use"). Can I take other supplements while using Proferia? Proferia can be used safely while taking dietary supplements. How long does it take for Proferia to work? For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Typically, anytime one is addressing hormonal imbalance with a product such as Proferia, symptoms of hormonal change can occur in a matter of days, though it is not always common to happen that quickly. This is the first step in the process, and the most important, as hormonal imbalances left in their unbalanced state can lead to an increasing variety of health concerns.
