• Enzymes enable you to utilize all of the nutrients from your food, which not only creates well-being but also supports weight loss. 
• Enzymes strengthen your immune system so that you are no longer as vulnerable to illness, especially to common cold and flu virus.
• Enzymes restore levels of vitality and energy that you haven’t experienced since you are were a child.
• Enzymes restore an efficient and effective digestive system.

Besides the powerful digestive enzymes (various proteases, amylases and lipase), each sachet of Bio-Catalyst contains protein peptides, which is a result of at least 6 months fermentation of various vegetable.

Serrapeptase is an enzyme that is produced in the intestines of silk worms to break down cocoon walls. This enzyme is proving to be a superior alternative to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) traditionally used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Its uses have also been extended to the treatment of chronic sinusitis and postoperative inflammation, and some  preliminary research indicates that Serrapeptase may even help inhibit plaque build-up in arteries, thereby preventing atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and a resulting heart attack or stroke. Therefore, much like aspirin, this naturally derived enzyme may work to prevent inflammation, pain, heart attack and stroke. Unlike aspirin and other over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs, Serrapeptase has not been shown to cause ulcers and stomach bleeding and also no inhibitory effects on prostaglandins and is devoid of gastrointestinal side effects.

B-vitamins play an essential role in many metabolic reactions such as the release of energy from carbohydrates, fat, and protein. A deficiency of one B-vitamin can affect optimal functioning of organ systems throughout the body.

Since B-vitamins are water soluble and easily washed from the body, daily replenishment is important. Stress, certain medications, and alcoholic beverages can also deplete the body’s B-vitamin reserves.

BioActive Complete B-Complex provides meaningful potencies of each B-vitamin. Unlike traditional formulas, it contains enzymatically active forms of critical nutrients such as the pyridoxal-5-phosphate form of vitamin B6 and 5-MTHF, the active form of folate that is up to 7 times more bioavailable than folic acid.

Many B vitamins function individually or in combination with enzymes inside your body to help release energy from carbohydrates, fat and protein. Vitamin B coenzymes play an important role in generating the energy necessary for your body’s cells. They are co-dependent in their metabolic activities and a deficiency of one B vitamin can affect the functioning of organ systems.

Niacin is the only B vitamin that can be synthesised in the liver from an amino acid. In its coenzyme forms, niacin is crucial for transforming food into energy. Niacin’s beneficial effects on blood lipids are well-documented.

Niacin reduces the psychological effects of stress and anxiety. Niacinamide has been shown to be effective in alleviating anxiety, elevating the aggressive reaction threshold, and decreasing fighting. Niacin may have therapeutic benefit in a wide range of disease processes because of its potent anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. In asthma, niacin supplementation reduced mast cell degranulation and histamine release. Niacin has consequently been recommended for relief of bronchial asthma and urticaria (Werbach 1987). Niacin may be beneficial in the fight against cancer. It has been shown to inhibit gene transcription of NF-kappa B, which regulates inflammation, and which in turn inhibits NF-kappa A and induces apoptosis of tumor cells.

Vitamin D3 can be synthesised by humans through the skin upon exposure to sunlight. Due to the winter, weather conditions and sun block, your body’s ability to produce enough vitamin D may be hindered. These factors emphasise the importance of taking vitamin D supplements. Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. Along with it, vitamin D has been proven to play a role in regulating healthy cell proliferation and on immunity. Research findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to many common age-related problems. 

Current levels of vitamin D are very low in humans. Prominent nutritional scientists advise to increase the daily intake to 1,000 and 10,000 IU for adults. Life Extension recommends that healthy adults supplement each day with at least 2,000 IU of vitamin D. Elderly adults may benefit from higher doses such as 5,000 IU daily up to 10,000 IU daily. The objective of taking a vitamin D supplement is to achieve an optimal vitamin D level in the blood of between 50 -80 ng/ml.

A vitamin D blood test can help you determine the additional amount of vitamin D you may need to supplement for an optimal level.
 

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system. It is a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's structures from oxidative damage generated during normal metabolism. Vitamin C is also necessary for the production of collagen and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health. This product includes Bioflavonoids, which work synergistically to support Vitamin C utilization.
