These organisms have developed a series of advanced mechanisms which allow them to evade immune detection. As part of this system, these organisms assemble into clusters, surround themselves with protective physical matrices and communicate among themselves. Each 2 capsule serving contains: EnzymeDisrupt™ - Lysozyme, Serratiopeptidase, Beta-glucanase, Lipase, Protease, Celllulase, Hemicellulase HerbDisrupt™ - Cranberry fruit extract, Beberine, Rose-mary extract, Peppermint oil powder N-acetyl cysteine BDNF Essentials™ Promote Healthy Brain Function New research demonstrates the adult brain is capable of reorganizing its neural network by forming new connections —— and this is known as neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity means the brain continues to generate new neurons & synapses throughout life, helping the brain heal from injuries. KEY ACTIVITIES TO INCREASING NEUROPLASTICITY INCLUDE: Physical Exercise Learning New Skills Increase BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) Good Nutrition Sleep Intermittent Fasting Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is one of the key proteins that promote the survival, development and function of neurons. BDNF promotes neuroplasticity, the repair and generation of new neurons as well as supporting healthy telomerase activity. BDNF ESSENTIALS™, formulated to promote healthy BDNF levels, neuroplasticity and healthy cytokine function, includes the following researched-based nutrients: NeuroCyto Protect™ Blend: Lions Mane Mushroom, Skullcap, Bilberry, Bacopa, Ashwagandha Cognition Blend: CDP Choline, Phosphatidylserine Joseph Burrascano Jr., MD “I am impressed with the formulas of BioDisrupt™ and BDNF Essentials™ - they each contain well researched nutrients to support the basis of each product.” +1.800.755.3402 Tel: 805.693.1802 • Fax: 805.693.1806 • [email protected] www.ResearchedNutritionals.com | Available only through healthcare professionals *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
