The vitamins and minerals in A·C·E·S + Zinc have been individually studied for their ability to improve both sperm count and sperm function, and zinc can improve testosterone levels in zinc-deficient men. At the same time, research has shown that vitamins C and E, alone and in combination, are capable of increasing blood levels of progesterone in women. In vivo studies have found the same for selenium supplementation. In both men and women experiencing low thyroid function, selenium is needed for proper conversion of T4 to T3 and zinc is beneficial for improving thyroid receptor sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the nutrients found in A·C·E·S + Zinc are crucial for collagen production and tissue healing.

For example, high doses of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) or psyllium fibre can cause bloating, distension, flatulence and abdominal cramping when they are fermented by gut microbiota. This leads many patients and practitioners to avoid their use altogether. However, there are better options as not all prebiotic fibres lead to digestive discomfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFibregum\u003cspan\u003e™\u003c\/span\u003e is an example of an extremely well-tolerated prebiotic fibre that causes minimal gas and bloating when supplemented even in large doses up to 30 grams per day. Fibregum\u003cspan\u003e™\u003c\/span\u003e has been extensively studied and shown to increase the growth of various lactobacillus, bifidobacteria and the anti-inflammatory microbe Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. In addition, FibregumTM has been demonstrated to significantly increase short chain fatty acid production (SCFAs; including butyrate), positively influence pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine profiles in the colon, and to support proper intestinal permeability. Unlike FOS which is quickly fermented in the ascending colon, Fibregum\u003cspan\u003e™\u003c\/span\u003e is slowly and progressively fermented throughout the ascending, transverse and descending colon, leading to greater clinical outcomes and greater tolerability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyto·Fibre is an all natural, certified organic, GMO free and FODMAP-friendly source of prebiotic fibre to support the health of the digestive tract.

For example, lactose is a common disaccharide found in dairy products that requires lactase for digestion into glucose and galactose, while invertase is necessary to break-down sucrose into glucose and fructose. Starches require specific enzymes such as glucoamylase, amylase and diastase while polysaccharide chains in the cell wall of green plants need cellulaseto cleave the glucose chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary fats must also undergo a transformation before being taken up into the body through the digestive tract. For this, gastric and pancreatic lipase are necessary to break apart fats into individual fatty acids and glycerol. Finally, proteins require proteases and peptidases in order to create small enough peptide chains and single amino acids that can be absorbed through the gastrointestinal wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one can imagine, any disturbance in the digestive system or a relative deficiency in any one of these enzymes can lead to digestive upset with symptoms of gas, bloating, constipation and suboptimal absorption.

Indeed, the human digestive tract is a key modulator of the immune system and it is responsible for not only absorbing nutrients from food but also eliminating hormones, food waste and other metabolic byproducts. If this system slows down, such as in cases of functional constipation, it can indirectly have a negative effect on all of these systems. In severe cases, sluggish bowels can contribute to a complicated syndrome known as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIBO can occur as a result of many inciting factors and the healing process is complex. However, at the core of its presentation, there is decreased function of the migrating motor complex (MMC). The MMC is an entity of the enteric nervous system responsible for promoting peristalsis in the smooth muscles of the digestive tract. Proper recovery from SIBO requires repair of the MMC and not simply stimulant laxatives. Fortunately, various nutrients have demonstrated promising results in reactivating this connection between the nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne therapy with promising clinical trials as a prokinetic agent is a proprietary blend of \u003cem\u003eZingiber officinalis\u003c\/em\u003e(ginger root) and \u003cem\u003eCynara cardunculus\u003c\/em\u003e (artichoke root) that has two human clinical trials for improving digestive function. A double-blind placebo-controlled randomized study found that this combination therapy significantly improved symptoms of functional dyspepsia such as epigastric fullness, bloating, early satiety, nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain after both 14 and 28 days. A second trial found that the patented blend of ginger and artichoke improved gastric emptying after a meal by 24% in healthy individuals as per endoscopic evaluation. These effects on gastric emptying seem to be mediated by gingerol’s activity on cholinergic and serotonergic receptors, in combination with artichoke root’s antispasmodic and choleretic action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering that ginger facilitates gastric emptying and stimulates the migrating motor complex by modulating serotonin, it only stands to reason that other agents designed to increase serotonergic activity may also be useful for improving gastrointestinal motility. As a matter of fact, both 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the key precursor molecule to endogenously build serotonin, and vitamin B6, an essential cofactor in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis same process, have been used to encourage the rebuilding of the migrating motor complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc has been identified for its ability to support the vagus nerve function. The vagus nerve is the most potent promoter of the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for “rest and digest” functions such as peristalsis. Zinc also supports epithelial barrier function, gastric acid production and aids in digestive concerns such as diarrhea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcetyl-L-Carnitine is commonly used for boosting cognitive function through its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system. However, carnitine is beneficial for many organ systems. Low carnitine levels in the body have actually been correlated to increased incidence and severity of constipation. Carnitine supplementation has been studied to reduce the severity of constipation in those suffering from poor gut motility and, therefore, is a reasonable nutrient to consider in those recovering from SIBO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGI·Motility Matrix by Cyto·Matrix provides a well-balanced blend of herbal extracts and nutrients to promote proper gastric emptying and gastrointestinal motility.

Heme iron is found in animal foods that contain hemoglobin, such as meat, fish, and poultry, while non-heme iron is sourced from plant sources like grains and vegetables. This differentiation is important because heme iron is the most bioavailable form of iron, readily absorbing 25-30% through the digestive tract, a far better rate when compared to non-heme absorption rates at only 1-10%. Heme iron absorption rates are also less affected by dietary compounds such as polyphenols and phytates.

Individuals with allergic rhinitis may experience a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy throat, watery eyes or headaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther forms of allergies may present with skin rashes, itchiness, redness or digestive concerns. Regardless of whether the immune system is reacting to dust, cats, freshly cut grass, pollen or certain foods, the body is producing an excessive immune response, which consists of many pro-inflammatory chemicals. One of these chemicals is known as histamine and it is the chemical often responsible for the uncomfortable allergy symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin is a natural flavonoid compound that is most abundantly found in apples, onions, tea and berries. Clinically, quercetin is most well-known for its ability to stabilize mast cells, prevent histamine release, and prevent and manage allergic responses including allergic rhinitis. An additional benefit of quercetin is its cardioprotective nature. It helps to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, a process that initiates the stiffening of blood vessels in heart disease. Quercetin has also been shown to have gastroprotective, anti-cataract, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects. A combination of its immune modulating capabilities and these actions may explain why research has found that it can be effective in cases of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all of this in mind, there is one well-known concern with quercetin and that is its poor bioavailability. Some research suggests that the bioavailability of oral quercetin could be as low as 1%. Aside from the obvious local benefits of quercetin on the digestive tract lining and subsequent systemic health benefits as a result of enhanced immune regulation, there is good reason to improve the bioavailability of quercetin in order to provide even further health benefits at the tissue level. Liposomal Quercetin by Cyto-Matrix delivers quercetin in a micellar liposome formulation, offering a solution to the poor bioavailability of a standard quercetin supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiposomal delivery systems were originally developed to optimize the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs. These same principles have now been applied to natural health ingredients. A liposome consists of either a single-layered or multi-layered phospholipid structure with an aqueous core. Active ingredients can be placed inside the aqueous core or within the phospholipid bilayer, where they are protected from various enzymatic and digestive processes. Ultimately, liposomes provide improved bioavailability for active ingredients. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, not all liposomal deliveries are created equal. Liposomes are several hundred nanometers in size, which means that there is still a significant amount of digestion that must occur to decrease surface area and allow for proper absorption. Micelles, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be absorbed directly at ~20 nanometers in size. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiposomal Quercetin by Cyto-Matrix utilizes a unique and patented technology, Cyto-Sorb, in order to create a stable multi-layered liposome with additional micellar delivery of quercetin. These methods allow for micronutrient stability and improved bioavailability, while also promoting the delivery of active ingredients to the intestinal sites of absorption in a sustained release fashion. Cyto-Sorb liposomal formulas are produced through a two-phase emulsion process utilizing phosphatidylcholine sourced from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E and organic coconut vegetable glycerin. Potassium bicarbonate is strategically added to stabilize the active ingredient, prevent oxidation and improve flavour. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiposomal Quercetin by Cyto-Matrix provides 166.6mg of quercetin per teaspoon in a delicious pineapple flavour for improved compliance, to offer improved anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory responses.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cyto-Matrix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49558434119975,"sku":"193271","price":45.92,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/5693\/9559\/files\/image_985e710e-d46c-4ede-bb05-de4178664193.png?v=1744919334"},{"product_id":"designs-for-health-trimag-supreme™","title":"Designs for Health TriMag Supreme™ 150g","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTriMag Supreme™ is a unique blend of three highly absorbable forms of magnesium designed to support cardiovascular health.
