The lecture is entitled, “Premiere research unveiled: Enhancing memory and balancing blood sugar,” and examines research conducted on whole formulas that focus on enhancing memory, balancing blood sugar and reducing free radical damage.

The Premiere Research product line will debut in Enzymedica’s booth #1558, and includes science-based formulas for cognition, antioxidant, and blood sugar health. The innovative line features bottles in box packaging and metallic accents on the label. Premiere Research is a natural extension of Enzymedica’s award winning, best in class product line up.

The seminar will be held on Saturday, March 13th, from 3:00-4:00 pm in room 207C of the Convention Center. Attendees will receive educational handouts and an opportunity to sample full size versions of the new Enzymedica products.

Maday Labrador, Enzymedica’s Director of Scientific Affairs explains, “Enzymedica’s current efforts employ enzymes in a new approach, to address the common contributing factors of the aging process. With this new research on healthy aging, Enzymedica intends to transform the enzyme category, expanding beyond just digestion and healthy inflammation, into new territory, reaching new customers.”

Amidst growing concerns surrounding short and long term memory loss, as well as the recent increase in sugar imbalances such as pre-diabetes, universities and research scientists are finding success with enzymes in combination with unique blends of nutraceuticals.

“Some of the most common issues we typically associate with aging may be prevented or even reversed with these newly studied formulas,” continues Labrador.

Dr. Sanberg and Dr. Barker will be available for interviews in the Enzymedica booth throughout the weekend of the show.

Some individuals have sensitivity to phenols, and experience difficulty digesting foods that contain them. While it may be possible to reduce one’s consumptions of the phenols found in food additives and such as colorants and flavorings, phenols are relatively omnipresent in all plant-based foods.

What are Phenols?

Phenol is an umbrella term for a sub-group of natural compounds that include, polyphenols, salycilates, flavanoids, catechins, anthocyanidins, and isoflavonoids, among thousands more. Phenols are also synthetically made and often appear as food flavorings and preservatives. In fact, phenols are so common that while it is possible to greatly reduce their intake, it is very difficult to completely eliminate them from the diet. Antioxidant rich foods often boast high amounts of phenols. Nutrient dense foods such as berries, apples, tomatoes, nuts, oranges, red grapes, as well as many other fruits and vegetables are all on the list of high phenol foods.

Phenol Sensitivity

For the general population these foods are important protective agents against degenerative diseases and should be consumed in abundance. But for some, normally healing foods can cause problems; a condition often referred to as phenol sensitivity.

It is thought that in some individuals phenolic compounds are unable to completely make their way through the metabolic cycle and cannot be completely broken down and detoxified, in essence becoming trapped in the body, leading to phenol overload. Phenol sensitivity can sometimes manifest in children with symptoms such as red ears, headache and hyperactivity, and in adults with lethargy and fatigue.

CarbGest for Phenol Digestion

CarbGest provides phenol-targeting enzymes such as xylanase to enhance the digestion of phenolic compounds in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and food additives. CarbGest contains a phenol-targeting enzyme blend that can assist the body in the proper digestion of phenols. CarbGest is safe for children and can be opened and mixed with food when desired.

Millions of cells in our body die every day; simultaneously millions of cells are born. It is the way our bodies restore and regenerate. As we grow older however, the method for producing new cells slows down. The slowing process brings with it subtle signs of aging that include wrinkles, grey hair and joint pain. Though many feel that any attempt to delay the indicators of aging is futile, it is possible to provide the nutrition needed to improve the body’s ability to repair and support itself.

Stem Cells

A stem cell is often called a “master” cell in that it has the ability to develop into tissues and organs. Thus, stem cells are the fundamental building blocks that exist within our bodies. Stem cells produced by your own body after embryonic development are referred to as “Adult stem cells”. According to the National Institutes of Health, the primary roles of adult stem cells are to maintain and repair the tissue. As we age, the number and quality of stem cells that circulate in our bodies gradually decrease, leaving us more susceptible to injury and other age-related health challenges.

Stem Cell Enhancers - A Powerful New Category of Nutritional Supplements

Just as vitamins are important for proper growth and functioning of the body, stem cell enhancers are equally important to support our stem cells in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in our bodies. Rather than simply nourishing or protecting existing tissue cells, stem cell enhancers do something completely different: they support the production of “adult” stem cell formation. Today, more people than ever appreciate the importance of adding health supplements to their diet to encourage a youthful, healthy body inside and out. Research has shown that the effects of certain natural products, vitamins and other nutrients have the ability to modulate the self-renewal of stem cells.

Supplementing With Enzymes

NaturaCell™ by Enzymedica offers a natural, proven approach to cellular regeneration and protection. By providing all-natural antioxidants and botanical extracts, NaturaCell assists the body in protecting cells against the harmful effects of free radicals and helps to support the release of stem cells within the body in order to maintain optimal health. To learn more about the benefits of stem cell enhancement, read the NaturaCell product handout or look at the Enzymedica newsletter on restoration and regeneration of cells.

Free radicals are produced naturally as the normal by-products of digestion and respiration, but can also be the result of environmental exposure to pollutants, cigarette smoke, ultraviolet light and X-rays. Although a normal part of life, free radical damage has been associated with aging and numerous disease states.

How Defenze Can Help

Defenze contains a combination of potent antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and our exclusive protease Thera-blend™.

· SOD aids in neutralizing free radicals and is part of the ‘oxidative burst’ that immune cells release to destroy bacteria and viruses that have gained access to the cells of the body.

· Catalase is an extremely efficient enzyme that removes toxins from the body. Its primary function is to turn hydrogen peroxide (a free radical compound) into water and oxygen. One molecule of catalase can dismantle millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules each second.

· Protease has a long history of therapeutic use as a detoxifier that supports immune function.

Defenze also contains glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). Glutathione is an antioxidant molecule formed in the liver. Its main functions are to assist in DNA repair, neutralize toxins, protect cells from free radicals, and boost immune function. Deficiencies of this nutrient are associated with aging and various disease states. ALA is an antioxidant that works inside and outside cells. It also regenerates other antioxidants like vitamin C and E.

Overall Immune Support

In addition to neutralizing free radicals, Defenze also assists the body in overall immune support. Defenze is the most potent antioxidant formula available on the market.
