Barrie Tan, PhD, scientist/researcher recently stated that if he had any form of cancer the three products listed below would be his choice for treatment.
Extension Resveratrol
Activate your Longevity Genes with new Extension Resveratrol, delivering 300mg of all natural trans-resveratrol, the most exciting longevity discovery of the decade. Resveratrol, in combination with the bioflavonoid quercetin and the polyphenols from red wine, activate a family of genes called Sirtuins (SIRT-1), which are known as the “longevity genes.” These “guardian genes” protect and repair cells and enhance cellular survival.
Emerging research reveals an ever-increasing array of potential resveratrol benefits to prevent the loss of vital metabolic functions required for long life. This advanced synergistic formula will support a healthy cardiovascular system and key cognitive pathways. Extension Resveratrol provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardio protective and neuro protective functions
A recent study looked at resveratrol’s effect on breast mutagenesis in mice. The researchers found a significantly lower tumor growth, decreased angiogenesis, and increased rate of apoptosis (cell death) in mutagenic cells in mice given resveratrol compared with controls. In vitro, they found a significant increase in apoptosis in resveratrol-exposed cells.
In another in vitro study, high resveratrol doses triggered apoptosis (cell death) in five out of six uterine cancer cell lines and inhibited uterine cancer cell proliferation.
Annatto Tocotrienols
Annatto Tocotrienols is the scientifically validated, natural source of delta-tocotrienol, which is the most bioactive form of vitamin E. Delta-tocotrienol is a potent, fat soluble anti-oxidant that surpasses all other forms of vitamin E in maintaining the health of the cardiovascular system. Annatto Tocotrienol™ also supports the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels. As the “next generation” vitamin E, tocotrienols are emerging as a powerful new nutrient for supporting healthy cholesterol balance, combating arterial plaque and maintaining healthy glucose and triglyceride levels.
In humans, two open studies2 measured fasting blood lipids before and 2 months after supplementation with annatto tocotrienols (75 mg/day). In both groups, total cholesterol levels dropped 13 percent; whereas LDL cholesterol dropped 9-15 percent and HDL cholesterol increased 4-7 percent. The LDL/HDL ratio was reduced by 12-21 percent. Amongst others, a study conducted by Bristol-Myers Squibb found that after 4-weeks’ supplementation with gamma- and delta-tocotrienol (100 mg/day), total cholesterol dropped by 15-22 percent, and LDL cholesterol decreased by 10-20 percent.
Annatto Tocotrienols is produced exclusively from annatto, which yields a superior tocotrienol profile with over 90% delta fraction (the most active form), and free of alpha tocopherol, which can reduce tocotrienol effectiveness.
The new Licap® oil-in-capsule provides a superior dosage form with enhanced stability through superior resistance to oxygen transmission and a protective bubble of inert nitrogen gas.
Green Tea May Inhibit Mutagenic Processes
Three new studies show that green tea can reduce the risk of oral cancer in women, stimulate the production of anti-mutagenic enzymes and inhibit the initial stages of intestinal cancer.
The first study sought to determine how green tea consumption in humans influences the risk of oral cancer, a disease with a higher proportion of deaths per number of cases than breast, skin, or cervical cancer. Mortality rate of patients with oral cancer is high (50 percent), because the cancer is usually detected late.
In the study, researchers analyzed green tea consumption among 20,550 men and 29,671 women living in Japan by administering a questionnaire. During a mean follow-up period of 10.3 years, the researchers documented 37 oral cancer cases.
After adjusting for potentially confounding factors, the study authors reported that women who consumed five or more cups of green tea per day had an associated risk reduction of 70 percent, compared to women who consumed between one and two cups per day. Because the number of oral cancers cases was small in this group of subjects, researchers called for more studies to confirm the results.
A new clinical study by another group of researchers confirms green tea’s potential anti-mutagenic effect. In this study, scientists investigated whether a concentrate of catechins, the green tea component thought to be responsible for the beverage’s health effects, had any effect on levels of glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes. GSTs alter cancer-causing molecules in order to prevent the molecules from damaging cellular DNA.
The study included 42 healthy subjects who abstained from consuming tea or tea-related products in the four-weeks prior to the study’s start. They gave a fasting blood sample, which the researchers used to measure GST activity and level. The subjects then consumed 800 mg epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) per day on an empty stomach for four weeks, at which time they again gave blood samples.
After the subjects consumed the green tea component, the GST activity increased from 2252.9 plus/minus 734.2 ng/mg protein to 2634.4 plus/minus 1138.3 ng/mg protein. The increase was most pronounced in people who had low GST activity at the study’s start. After consuming the EGCG, their GST activity increased by as much as 80 percent. The researchers point out that this is the first study to demonstrate this effect in humans.
The study authors suggested that the findings indicate EGCG from green tea could help vulnerable individuals to strengthen their metabolic defense against carcinogens.
In the third new study, researchers investigated green tea’s effects in a mouse model of colon cancer. The scientists treated mice with an agent that induces colon tumors, then gave the animals either water or green tea for four to eight weeks.
Although green tea was ineffective against larger tumors that had already formed, green tea significantly inhibited the formation of new tumors. The researchers also found that green tea decreased the total levels of biomarkers involved in early colon cancer development.
According to the researchers, “Our results suggest that green tea specifically targets initial stages of colon carcinogenesis; the time of administration of green tea is pivotal for effective chemoprevention.”
Please note: EGCG, the active ingredient in green tea, is available in capsule form. This is our recommended form of consumption as green tea contains caffeine. If you want to drink green tea please buy a brand that is decaffeinated.
EpiCor®
What is EpiCor®?
EpiCor is a dried, complex fermentation product derived from a proprietary process
consisting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the medium on which it is grown.
What does EpiCor do?
Laboratory work and human studies indicate that EpiCor helps support and balance a
healthy immune system. For example, it supports the mucosal immune system as
shown by increased salivary IgA (a first line of defense). It also increases the cytotoxic
activity of Natural Killer cells, and activates them as measured by increased CD69 and
CD25 markers. B lymphocytes are also activated. A reduction in Interferon gamma
production in mitogen stimulated cells, and a reduction in immune complexes, may
indicate anti-inflammatory activity.
What role does the immune system play in human health?
The immune system is composed of many interdependent cell types, tissues and
signaling molecules that collectively protect the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal
and viral infections and from the growth of tumor cells. There is innate (humoral) nonspecific
immunity and cell-mediated specific immunity. More than 100 health conditions
have been linked to compromised immune function.
How does EpiCor differ from other immune products?
EpiCor is a unique, natural complex fermentation product designed to support immune
health. It is not a single chemical as are many such products, but a complex product
containing many natural substances working together to support immune health.
Embria Health Sciences. LLC, is not aware of another product containing the diversity of immune-supporting compounds as found in EpiCor. In addition, it is a powerful antioxidant, containing polyphenolic compounds found in products like green tea and grape seed extract, which further supports immune health by scavenging dangerous free radicals.
EpiCor be taken year-round?
EpiCor is not a drug to cure disease, but a natural supplement intended for healthy
people to support a healthy and balanced immune system. Evidence indicates that
EpiCor particularly supports the innate immune system, the body’s first line of defense
against invading pathogens, hence it is best taken year-round for maximum benefit.
What is the recommended dosage for EpiCor?
While there is no Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for EpiCor, the current science
supporting EpiCor suggests a daily dosage of 500 mg. EpiCor is also available in 150 mg
capsules for children.
Should the dosage of EpiCor be increased at onset of illness?
At the moment, there is no data to support increasing the dose of EpiCor at the onset
of illness. EpiCor is designed to support a healthy immune system so that the body can
naturally defend against invading pathogens. EpiCor is a dietary supplement, and is not
intended to treat or cure illnesses.
Is EpiCor safe?
EpiCor is a fermented product made through a proprietary process with the same
microorganism used to make bread. Even so, multiple toxicological studies have been
performed to prove the safety of EpiCor. EpiCor has been self-affirmed by a panel of
independent experts as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe).
Are there any side effects or contraindications with EpiCor?
Laboratory studies suggest there will be no interaction between EpiCor and most OTC
prescription drugs. However, as with any dietary supplement, consultation with a
nutritionally-aware health practitioner is always recommended before beginning any supplement
program.

My AminoPlex™
A uniquely formulated amino acid supplement, My AminoPlex™ was developed after extensive amino acid testing and research. Not only does it have a pleasant citrus/vanilla flavor (all natural of course), it has a number of important co-factors which are critical in the proper metabolism of amino acids.
Amino acids are the major component of most cells. Their functions range from transport and regulation of neural signals, neurotransmitters, muscle activity, formation of ligaments, tendons, bones as well as hormone production.
While the typical American diet should provide all the essential amino acids, impaired digestion, poor gut flora, and environmental factors may greatly increase the need for a high quality amino acid supplement. Acute stress can also result in both increased demand and accelerated protein breakdown. It is exactly for these reasons My AminoPlex™ was formulated.
Ideally, sufficient dietary intake of amino acids, in the correct ratio's, in the presence of sufficient vitamins and minerals, without any disease processes will result in enough protein for optimal health. This is a rare occurrence in modern society. My AminoPlex™ contains all of the essential amino acids in a carefully balanced array.
A common misconception is that all we need is the essential amino acids and the body will naturally produce all of the rest on its own. This may be true with a healthy person in a healthy environment but again, this is not all that common. Arginine, Taurine, Alpha Keto Glutarate, Glutamine, and Glycine are 5 "non-essential" amino acids added to My AminoPlex™ that extensive research has determined are important additions.
Another issue important in the proper metabolism and utilization of amino acids is the co-factors which help the body manufacture not only other amino acids, but hormones, neurotransmitters, muscle, DNA and RNA. These nutrients include Magnesium, B6 (in the form of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate), Folic Acid and Zinc, all of which are found in My AminoPlex™ in balanced amounts.
HLC Mind Linx
This is the first probiotic specifically developed for autism and ADHD. Children with these conditions frequently have proven intestinal pathology that includes leaky gut, inflammation, and overt colitis. This is related to sensitivity to certain foods especially gluten-containing grains and dairy products. The dietary "exorphin" chemicals produced when gluten and dairy proteins are broken down, are absorbed from the gut and reach the brain where they cause symptoms associated with autism and ADHD. HLC Mind Linx combines the original HLC High Potency probiotic with two new strains of Lactobacillus that break down these damaging "exorphins" in the gut before they can be absorbed! This product is available in both powder and capsule form.
Spectrum Awakening powdered supplement is a combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids which help to balance neurotransmitters, reduce adrenal response, and encourage parasympathetic tone in children with Autism and ADHD. Spectrum Awakening will enhance detoxification programs and behavioral therapies addressing these conditions.
Mucolyxir
The Institute for Therapeutic Discovery has licensed its DNA-based nutritional supplement that promotes respiratory health to Allergy Research Group. This exciting new product works with mucus buildup in asthma, bronchial, or allergic reactions. It helps by regulating the viscosity of the mucus.

Avé
The first dietary supplement in the U.S. to contain the active ingredient Avemar from Europe. This ingredient supports the foundations of good health by enhancing the body's ability to modulate immune response and to regulate cell metabolism disrupted by environmental toxins, physical injury, and emotional stress. Avemar's development was initiated by Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, recipient of the Nobel Prize for the discovery of vitamin C and for his part in describing cell metabolism. More than 100 studies since 1998 and peer-review scientific publications in 28 medical journals endorse Avemar's health benefits. Once a day use of one Ave packet (the amount used in clinical trials), results in dramatic improvement in energy and quality of life as it supports health on the most fundamental cellular level.
