FIVE Reasons why you should use Tanalbit Plant Tannins for GI health
Tanalbit is a gastrointestinal support product whose simple, elegant mechanism allows it to:
1) Support a healthy balance of intestinal yeast and flora (bacteria)*
2) Target all areas of the gastrointestine*
3) Work consistently without causing resistance buildup (unlike other products, Tanalbit does not dissolve cellular walls, an action that releases toxins into the body)*
4) Enact supportive antioxidant activity*
5) Work safely – For over 30 years, Tanalbit has proven to be a successful gastrointestinal support product. Its condensed plant tannin based formula is both non-toxic and not absorbed by the liver.

How Tanalbit Works
Tanalbit contains a proprietary blend of Zinc Tannates, composed of Plant tannins, zinc and amino acids. When ingested, the body recognizes the Zinc Tannate complex as a protein and as a consequence shuttles it past stomach digestive juices to the larger and lower intestine, areas often in need of supportive action. With elegant chemistry, Tanalbit supports a healthy balance of yeast and bacteria colonies by assisting the body’s removal of overgrowth. It naturally adheres to biofilm receptor sites via chelation and/or covalent bonding. This action disrupts colonization and isolates the biofilm, which then becomes a target for the body’s normal metabolic and elimination processes.

Comprehensive Action: How Tanalbit supports the whole body
- Digestion: Undigested or partially digested food proteins in the gastrointestine may heighten or exacerbate food sensitivity and/or indigestion. Plant tannin chemistry allows for Tanalbit to bind to those proteinous substances (oligopeptides and peptones) and therefore it can be used to help support the body’s elimination process of those undigested or partially digested proteins.
- Healthier GI environment: The active ingredients in Tanalbit, plant tannins, support cellular health, meaning they support intestinal wall integrity and therefore activity of gastrointestinal cells. This occurs because astringency, a natural characteristic of plant tannins, supports the body’s ability to reduce cellular inflammation. As it travels through the gastrointestine, Tanalbit provides supportive action along the way.
- Detoxification: Chelation exhibited by plant tannins also extends to heavy metals. In so doing, Tanalbit can support the body’s natural detoxification process.
- Skin Care: External skin issues often have an “interior” cause. Supporting gastrointestinal health and flora balance can support healthier looking skin.

What are Tannins?
Tannins are water soluble, polyphenolic compounds and are either hydrolyzable or condensed. Tannins have astringent and antioxidant properties. Tannins give the bitter taste to black teas, the strong taste to red wines and are a significant component of Redwood Tree bark, giving it the bark its distinctive red color. The plant tannins found in Tanalbit are condensed tannins.
TOP
Are Tannins taken in a dietary supplement safe?
Yes. Tanalbit contains condensed plant tannins. Condensed tannins have antioxidant activity properties and support GI health and healing. Tannins taken as a dietary supplement, drunk as teas or in wine, eaten in fruits or food have been shown to exhibit antioxidant activity that supports a healthy body.
Tanalbit is complexed with milk derived proteins/amino acids which allows the formula to directly target the GI tract and mitigate possible irritation caused by tannic acid. In addition, milk proteins also help to mitigate any anti-nutritive effects of tannins. Tanalbit is non-toxic and can safely be taken by a variety of individuals.
Please note: If you are suffering from a nutrient deficiency, have malabsorption or other conditions that results in low nutrient levels (including Calcium, Iron), out of abundance of caution, do not Tanalbit or any other dietary supplement before speaking with your health professional or personal physician. If your physician approves use of Tanalbit, consider supplementing with a comprehensive Multivitamin.
TOP
Does Tanalbit affect beneficial bacteria? Will it deplete minerals?
Tanalbit will not significantaly affect beneficial bacteria levels. Often we suggest using a probiotic after a Tanalbit regimen and using a comprehensive multivitamin to ensure proper mineral balance because imbalanced flora can contribute to nutrient deficiencies.
TOP
Are there contraindications for Tanalbit? What about side effects?
Occasionally individuals may experience temporary constipation after taking Tanalbit. To avoid temporary constipation, increase water intake while taking Tanalbit and consider taking a Magnesium supplement. Sometimes tannins may cause nausea or upset stomach. To prevent this, take Tanalbit with a small, protein snack.
Tannins, the active ingredients in Tanalbit, may interfere with the absorption or efficacy of some medications. They may also not be recommended for individuals with significant nutrient deficiencies or individuals with chronic maladies or under physician supervision for serious ailments. Please consult with your health professional prior to introducing Tanalbit. There are some known contraindications for tannins (general) and medications. Please click on the Ingredients tab for additional information.

TOP
Why does Tanalbit contain milk?
The complex milk proteins (casein, proline, hydroxyproline) in Tanalbit act as potent buffers. They serve to transport the Tanalbit complex past the degrading acids of the stomach into the large intestine and colon. Milk protein powder also acts to mitigate any anti-nutritive effects of tannins.
Tanalbit contains high heat milk powder which, as a consequence of its manufacture, contains mostly denatured, less allergenic proteins. Tanalbit may therefore be suitable for those with milk sensitivity (check with your allergist first) but it is not recommended for those with milk allergies. Tanalbit will not cause problems for individuals with lactose intolerance (where the issue is milk sugar not milk protein). The milk proteins Tanalbit will neither cause nor exacerbate mycelia growth.
If you have a milk allergy, do not take the product and consult your health professional if he or she has suggested it for you. Consider our milk-free plant tannins, Viracin, or Tabit. Viracin and Tabit may be helpful for healthy bacteria balance support and immune support.
TOP
Why does Tanalbit contain Zinc? Is Zinc absorbed?
The zinc in Tanalbit activates the complex and acts as a buffer. It lessens potential irritability caused by tannins and allows the complex to travel through the GI. As part of the Zinc Tannate complex, Zinc is not "available" and not absorbed.
TOP
Should I use Tanalbit or Viracin? When should I use them together?
Tanalbit and Viracin rely on the astringent and antioxidant activity properties of plant tannins. Each contain different tannin extracts which themselves behave differently.

R Lipoic alone may be considerably more effective than racemic Alpha Lipoic Acid*.
-
The significant antioxidant activity of R Lipoic Acid
R Lipoic Acid exhibits antioxidant-activity*. For example, R Lipoic is able to increase or maintain levels of other important antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10. R Lipoic may also support the body's response to inflammation processes*. R lipoic also has other benefits. It supports healthy glucose metabolism* and R Lipoic is helpful for skin health and skin vitality*. We suggest using R Lipoic with our other skin care product and suggest our Skin Care Package.
Why is oxidation harmful?
Oxidation is inherently toxic to cells. It is believed the oxidation, and the inflammation it causes, leads to cell death and may have cascading negative effects. -
How to use R Lipoic Acid
1-2 capsules or 50-200 mg of R Lipoic acid, not exceeding 600 mg/daily; Can be taken at one time or more preferably 1-3 times daily -

Q-ODT® (CoQ10) High Bioavailability Slow-Dissolving Tablets, 80 mg, 30 count
$31.25
Q-ODT Coenzyme Q10 slow-dissolving tablets provide superior delivery of this important cofactor nutrient. 30 tablets, 80 mg CoQ10 per tablet.- Coenzyme Q10, ubiquinones or mitoquinones belong to a group of lipid-soluble (lipid = fat) benzoquinones involved in electron transport in mitochondrial preparations. Thus said, Co-Q10 is a VITAL enzyme to all aerobic structures, for it is involved in energy transport! The sites in the human body which require the most mitochondrial action are those which are constantly at work: the heart, lungs, brain. Due to this fact, it is these organs, the heart especially, which are compromised due to malfunctioning or inadequate mitochondrial activity. Q-ODT helps support mitochondrial activity and energy production.
-
Why is Coenzyme Q10 important?
CoQ10 supports heart health especially heart muscle health. CoQ10 also plays a role in blood vessel health, healthy blood pressure, muscle maintenance and health and oral hygiene. It is also helpful for post-operative recuperation and immune support.
Why use Q-ODT?
Our Coenzyme Q10 80 mg formula is suitable for those who desire immediate activity of CoQ10, and for individuals who desire to use CoQ10 for oral and periodontal health. Our Coq10 is Ubidecarenone and when chewed, swirled around in the mouth and then swallowed, provides great bioavailability.
How does CoQ10 support oral health?
The increase in ROS or reactive oxygen species in gums gives rise to gum inflammation or periodontis. It is believed that Coenzyme Q10 may support a healthy response to ROS production*.
Why is our QODT better?
Our CoQ10 Q-ODT ablets are formulated to be left in the side of the mouth to be slowly dissolved OR chewed almost completely and then the bits swirled around in the mouth until swallowed. This method of delivery ensures maximum bioavailability. Q-ODT is absorbed by the blood capillaries of the mouth where it is then deposited into the bloodstream. This type of delivery should be the preferred method for those who desire the therapeutic benefits of CoQ10 as well as those who are looking to improve periodontal health.
Why don't you use other forms of CoQ10? Haven't they been shown to be better?
Intensive Nutrition Inc. uses Ubidecarenone and has shown that its assimilation in the body is equal to other forms of CoQ10. Q10 is an inherently stable compound. -
How to use Q-ODT
1-2 servings daily or as directed by your health professional. Place tablet in the side of the mouth and let tablet slowly dissolve. -
SUPPLEMENT FACTS: 1 tablet
Ingredients: Coenzyme Q10, 80 mg

DMAE Younger Looking Skin Care 3% Gel Formula

-
About DMAE and DMAE Amine
DMAE is described as a "vitamer" and is believed to help improve memory and brain function by increasing levels of the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is broken down into choline , a b vitamin that has many benefits.
Our DMAE topical contains DMAE in its AMINE form. This is the ONLY form of DMAE that is absorbed by the skin. If you are using DMAE bitartrate or are making your own DMAE solution, you are not using the right DMAE product. In addition, Intensive Nutrition's professional quality DMAE topical formulas contain the highest percentage of DMAE. Many other formulas that contain DMAE amine only do so in small amounts and as a consequence do not list the percentage in the product description.
How does DMAE positively affect the skin?
Acetylcholine is involved to a certain degree with muscle contractions. Application of DMAE for skin may help prevent sagging skin and increase firmness. Our results indicate that after a nightly application of DMAE, skin does appear firmer and tighter. Puffiness is reduced. -
FAQ ABOUT DMAE AND SKIN CARE
Are solutions of DMAE less than 3% effective?
Because Intensive Nutrition uses only pure DMAE amine without any additives, our DMAE 1% and .5 solutions are very effective and we have extensive physician and client feedback that supports this statement. In fact, we suggest that individuals use the lower percentage solutions if they have sensitive skin.
Is topical DMAE more effective than DMAE taken as a supplement?
DMAE applied topically will produce more visible benefits sooner than DMAE taken internally. However, long term DMAE taken internally can enhance topical application of DMAE. What you take on the inside does effect how you look on the outside.
What other supplements are helpful for skin?
Vitamin C (Mag'C) Essential Fatty Acids (Omega Oils), R Lipoic and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Many have found our Smart formula to be quite helpful for skin blemishes. -
TESTIMONIALS
From: Julie U.
My name is Julie, I am 50 years young, from the state of Missouri. I have been using DMAE 3% gel for about 11/2 years now. I first heard about your product from a newsletter (Total Wellness) by Dr. Sherry Rogers. She gives so many wonderful suggestions on products that are wonderful and very healthy to use. She sure was correct about this product DMAE. I have always been concerned about getting bad wrinkles under my eyes and have used many other products. I use DMAE every morning and evening under my moisturizer. You can see the change yourself everyday you put it on. I know I could pass for being 10 years younger than I really am. I have a sister who is 9 years younger than I and people always think Iam younger than her. I wouldn't dream of going 1 day without my DMAE gel. DMAE gel is everything it says it is and is very economical to use. You have a customer for life.
Dear INP marketing team, I am 45years old. I have been using DMAE 3% gel under my eyes and on my neck area for about 6 months now. It seems to reduce puffiness under the eyes and improve the firmness of the neck. I think it's a great product.
Thank you very much,
Anna M.,
California.
Hello,
I've been using the DMAE 3% Gel for a little over a year now. I've noticed an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles caused by overexposure to the sun. Additionally, the texture of my skin around the eyes seems to be much smoother. I apply the gel morning and night along with a squalene-based moisturizer. This is also a wonderful way to protect the skin during the dry winter months.

$28.50
Vitamin B12 1mg hydroxocobalamin in a slow dissolving tablet supports great absorption of this important B vitamin with the inclusion of beta-cyclodextrin*. 1 mg, 60 tablets per bottle.
- Intensive Nutrition's B12 formula contains hydroxocobalamin, a B12 that stays in the body longer than any other form. Vitamin B12 ingested orally is unstable, but our Vitamin B12 hydroxo is designed to be place in the side of the mouth and left to dissolve before swallowed. This method of delivery supports better absorption and therefore bioavailability of B12. In addition, beta-cyclodextrin added acts as an additional carrier, and, in and of itself supports healthy plaque regulation and healthy responses to inflammation.
-
What does Vitamin B12 do in the body?
B-12 (cobalamin) is involved in the functioning of the nervous system, in proper blood oxygenation and supporting energy production. B12 is also required for proper nerve cell functioning, DNA replication, production of SAMe. B12 works in conjunction with other B vitamins, specifically Folic Acid and B6. With Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 helps support cognitive function.
What is hydroxocobalamin?
Hydroxocobalamin is a natural form of B12, found in our bodies and food sources. It can be transformed into bioenzymatic B12 - methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. The biggest benefit of hydroxocobalamin over other B12 forms is its long lasting effect or sustained release. This is critical for individuals who require B12 supplementation as B12 taken in this form will be readily available. Another benefit of hydroxocobalamin is its role in blocking NO (nitric oxide) radicals in the body which can cause nitrosative stress or pro-inflammatory states in the body.
What is beta-cyclodextrin?
Beta Cyclodextrin (2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) is an FDA approved oligosaccharide. It supports healthy plaque regulation and a healthy response to inflammation. Beta Cyclodextrin makes Intensive Nutrition's B12 a comprehensive cardiovascular support formula.
Who should consider B12 hydroxocobalamin?
As a long-lasting Vitamin B12 supplement, hydroxocobalamin is suggested to support a healthy, sustained release metabolism of B12*. This formula is also helpful to support healthy detoxification*. Vitamin B12 can support a a healthy response to stress and can support a healthy response to fatigue*. B12 can support the diet of individuals who have limited intake of Vitamin B12 (whether by choice or as a consequence of metabolism issues). Vitamin B12 can also support heart health*. As many common medications deplete B12, supplementing with B12 may help support healthy B12 levels.* -
Questions about Vitamin B12 1mg hydroxocobalamin
Can't I just get B12 from my diet?
The following foods contain the highest concentrations of Vitamin B12: clams, oysters, mussels, liver, caviar, octopus, fish, crab and lobster, beef, lamb, cheese, eggs. However, B12 is easily depleted by stress and many common medications and individuals with restricted diets (low cholesterol, low fat, vegetarian and vegan) usually do not consume enough Vitamin B12.*
Why is our slow-dissolving, high bioavailability tablet BETTER?
Intensive Nutrition tablets when left in the mouth and swirled around support great absorption especially with the addition of beta-cyclodextrin, an oligosaccharide that acts as a cage molecule to support bioavailability.* -
How to use Vitamin B12 1mg hydroxocobalamin
3-6 tablets daily, swirled in the mouth or as directed by a health professional. -

Somniphan® Sleep Aid
$25.25
Somniphan is a safe and effective sleep-aid that contains L-Tryptophan, GABA and Melatonin. These three ingredients work synergistically to help support the body's sleep processes*. 30 capsules per bottle.
- Somniphan is non habit forming, is free from side effects and can be used regularly to help encourage relaxation, support a healthy response to stress and anxiety and most importantly help one restore and maintain healthy sleep patterns*. Somniphan is suggested for: individuals who experience sleeplessness, individuals who experience frequent night wakings due to external, emotional factors, or for men who experience frequent night wakings due to prostate overactivity and frequent nighttime urination. Somniphan may also be helpful for individuals who experience mood swings or negative outlook and as a consequence have trouble sleeping*.
-
What is L-Tryptophan?
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that aids in protein synthesis and is a precursor to many compounds, including the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin, acting as a neurotransmitter in the Central Nervous System(CNS), affects hunger, mood, aggression and sleep. The body can also metabolize serotonin into melatonin. Low levels of serotonin, whether caused by improper uptake or metabolism, may negatively affect sleep. Supplementing with L-Tryptophan may help support healthy serotonin levels and consequently support healthy sleep*.
What is GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) ?
GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the body, which means that it regulates neuronal excitability. In so doing, GABA promotes relaxation and may dampen anxiety. It also has an analgesic effect. Sleeplessness has a variety of causes, stress, anxiety and pain being main contributors. As a supplement, GABA may help support restful sleep and support healthy mood*.
What is Melatonin?
Melatonin is naturally secreted by the pineal gland. Melatonin supports the regulation of the body's day/night metabolic rates. Its secretion is synchronized with our biological clock which dictates the daily changes upon the body's metabolic activity. This is known as our circadian rhythms. One of Melatonin's most popular uses as a supplement is to help to restore proper sleep patterns. Melatonin also exhibits excellent antioxidant activity, it supports heart health and a healthy immune system*. Often when sleeplessness is caused by aberrations in one's sleeping schedule, for instance, jet lag, frequent nighttime urination (in men, due to enlarged prostate), or night-shift working hours, the body and mind may be so exhausted that an individual may have trouble falling and staying asleep. Melatonin can be helpful in aiding the body to resume a proper 7-8 hour sleep cycle. (Melatonin is sourced from bovine pineal gland)*. -
How to use Somniphan
1 Servings (1 Capsule) 30-45 minutes before bedtime. 2 servings recommended if one capsule is not found to be sufficient to support healthy sleep. -
SUPPLEMENT FACTS
Ingredients for 1 capsule: L-Tryptophan 300 mg, GABA 200 mg, Melatonin 2 mg
Inert Ingredients: Magnesium Stearate
Allergen Statement: This formula is free of yeast, egg, corn, soy, wheat, milk, starch, fish, shellfish, nuts or tree nuts, artificial colors or preservatives.
Interactions and Precautions: Not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing or individuals under the age of 18. Do not use Somniphan if you are currently using MAO inhibitors or SSRI medications but most importantly contact physician FIRST before adding Somniphan to your daily regimen, especially if taking other dietary supplements or medications. Do not use Somniphan with other sleep aid medications or dietary supplements. if you find that upon wakening you are sluggish or drowsy, reduce dosage to 1 capsule daily. Melatonin is not recommended for those who suffer from asthma. -

About DMAE and DMAE Amine
DMAE is described as a "vitamer" and is believed to help improve memory and brain function by increasing levels of the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is broken down into choline , a b vitamin that has many benefits.
Our DMAE topical contains DMAE in its AMINE form. This is the ONLY form of DMAE that is absorbed by the skin. If you are using DMAE bitartrate or are making your own DMAE solution, you are not using the right DMAE product. In addition, Intensive Nutrition's professional quality DMAE topical formulas contain the highest percentage of DMAE. Many other formulas that contain DMAE amine only do so in small amounts and as a consequence do not list the percentage in the product description.
How does DMAE positively affect the skin?
Acetylcholine is involved to a certain degree with muscle contractions. Application of DMAE for skin may help prevent sagging skin and increase firmness. Our results indicate that after a nightly application of DMAE, skin does appear firmer and tighter. Puffiness is reduced. -
FAQ ABOUT DMAE AND SKIN CARE
Because Intensive Nutrition uses only pure DMAE amine without any additives, our DMAE 1% and .5 solutions are very effective and we have extensive physician and client feedback that supports this statement. In fact, we suggest that individuals use the lower percentage solutions if they have sensitive skin.
Are solutions of DMAE less than 3% effective?
Is topical DMAE more effective than DMAE taken as a supplement?
DMAE applied topically will produce more visible benefits sooner than DMAE taken internally. However, long term DMAE taken internally can enhance topical application of DMAE. What you take on the inside does effect how you look on the outside. We suggest considering R Lipoic to support skin health.
What other supplements are helpful for skin?
Vitamin C (Mag'C) Essential Fatty Acids (Omega Oils), R Lipoic and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Many have found our Smart formula to be quite helpful for skin blemishes. -
TESTIMONIALS
From: Julie U.
My name is Julie, I am 50 years young, from the state of Missouri. I have been using DMAE 3% gel for about 11/2 years now. I first heard about your product from a newsletter (Total Wellness) by Dr. Sherry Rogers. She gives so many wonderful suggestions on products that are wonderful and very healthy to use. She sure was correct about this product DMAE. I have always been concerned about getting bad wrinkles under my eyes and have used many other products. I use DMAE every morning and evening under my moisturizer. You can see the change yourself everyday you put it on. I know I could pass for being 10 years younger than I really am. I have a sister who is 9 years younger than I and people always think Iam younger than her. I wouldn't dream of going 1 day without my DMAE gel. DMAE gel is everything it says it is and is very economical to use. You have a customer for life.
Dear INP marketing team, I am 45years old. I have been using DMAE 3% gel under my eyes and on my neck area for about 6 months now. It seems to reduce puffiness under the eyes and improve the firmness of the neck. I think it's a great product.
Thank you very much,
Anna M.,
California.
Hello,
I've been using the DMAE 3% Gel for a little over a year now. I've noticed an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles caused by overexposure to the sun. Additionally, the texture of my skin around the eyes seems to be much smoother. I apply the gel morning and night along with a squalene-based moisturizer. This is also a wonderful way to protect the skin during the dry winter months.

Q-ODT® (CoQ10) Set of 3 (3 month supply)
$84.00
Q-ODT Coenzyme Q10 slow-dissolving tablets provide superior delivery of this important cofactor nutrient. 30 tablets, 80 mg CoQ10 per tablet.
- Coenzyme Q10, ubiquinones or mitoquinones belong to a group of lipid-soluble (lipid = fat) benzoquinones involved in electron transport in mitochondrial preparations. Thus said, Co-Q10 is a VITAL enzyme to all aerobic structures, for it is involved in energy transport! The sites in the human body which require the most mitochondrial action are those which are constantly at work: the heart, lungs, brain. Due to this fact, it is these organs, the heart especially, which are compromised due to malfunctioning or inadequate mitochondrial activity. Q-ODT helps support mitochondrial activity and energy production.
-
Why is Coenzyme Q10 important?
It supports heart health especially heart muscle health. CoQ10 also plays a role in blood vessel health, healthy blood pressure, muscle maintenance and health and oral hygiene. It is also helpful for post-operative recuperation and immune support.
Why use Q-ODT?
Our Coenzyme Q10 80 mg formula is suitable for those who desire immediate activity of CoQ10, and for individuals who desire to use CoQ10 for oral and periodontal health. Our Coq10 is Ubidecarenone and when chewed, swirled around in the mouth and then swallowed, provides great bioavailability.
How does CoQ10 support oral health?
The increase in ROS or reactive oxygen species in gums gives rise to gum inflammation or periodontis. It is believed that Coenzyme Q10 may support a healthy response to ROS production*.
Why is our ODT better?
Our CoQ10 Q-ODT ablets are formulated to be left in the side of the mouth to be slowly dissolved OR chewed almost completely and then the bits swirled around in the mouth until swallowed. This method of delivery ensures maximum bioavailability. Q-ODT is absorbed by the blood capillaries of the mouth where it is then deposited into the bloodstream. This type of delivery should be the preferred method for those who desire the therapeutic benefits of CoQ10 as well as those who are looking to improve periodontal health.
Why don't you use other forms of CoQ10? Haven't they been shown to be better?
Intensive Nutrition Inc. uses Ubidecarenone and has shown that its assimilation in the body is equal to other forms of CoQ10. Q10 is an inherently stable compound. -
How to use Q-ODT
1-2 servings daily or as directed by your health professional. Place tablet in the side of the mouth and let tablet slowly dissolve. -

Folixor® PLUS w/BIOACTIVE Folinic Acid, Slow-Dissolving Tablets, 5 mg
$31.50 $33.75
Folixor PLUS High Bioavailability slow-dissolving tabs, 5 mg. Contain 100% body-ready Folinic Acid and adjuvants Vitamin B12, B6 and L-Leucine. 60 tablets per bottle.
- Folixor Plus tablets contain adjuvants that further enhance bioavailability and ensure effectiveness. These adjuvants are: Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, and the amino acid L-Leucine.
-
Body Effective AND Cost effective
Folixor PLUS not only delivers Folic Acid effectively and efficiently, it does so without a high price tag. Folixor PLUS is ideal for every individual, even those who desire support for folic acid metabolization.
What is Folinic Acid?
Folinic Acid is 5-formyl-tetrahydrofolate, a "body ready" or bioactive form of folic acid. This means that folinic acid is more easily processed by the body because the body can turn it into an active or usable form of folate. It requires no enzymatic conversion and therefore does not contribute to elevated folate blood serum levels. Folinic Acid may also be utilized more easily than the more expensive 5 methyl tetrahydrofolate known as "5-methyl".
What roles do Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and L-Leucine play?
Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 serve as important cofactors for folic acid absorption. They improve folic acid bioavailability. The Amino Acid L-Leucine improves overall Folixor PLUS bioavailability by also increasing absorption of folic acid and the other B Vitamins.
Why is our high bioavailability, slow-dissolving tablet better?
Folixor PLUS tablets are formulated to be dissolved almost completely in the side of the mouth. Alternately, the tablets may also be slightly chewed and then the bits swirled around in the mouth until swallowed. This method of delivery ensures maximum bioavailability. This type of delivery should be the preferred method for those who need support with folic acid absorption.
Who should consider Folixor PLUS tablets?
Folic Acid supplementation is essential for all women of child bearing age. Folic Acid may have additional applications for: cervical health, cognition, mental health, mental acuity, oral hygiene, heart health*. Folixor PLUS is ideal for individuals who need support with folic acid absorption. -
Questions about Folixor PLUS and Folic Acid
Why does Folixor PLUS contain Folinic Acid and not 5-methyl?
Folinic Acid is 5-formyl-tetrahydrofolate, a "body ready" form of folic acid. This means that folinic acid is more easily processed by the body because the body can turn it into an active or usable form of folate. 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate is another form of body-ready folic acid that offers good bioavailability but it has been shown that Folinic acid provides exceptional bioavailability of folic acid EVEN FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED SUPPORT WITH FOLIC ACID ABSORPTION.
What are other health benefits of Folic Acid?
Due to its primary role in DNA & RNA synthesis, Folic Acid supports healthy DNA production and healthy cellular formation. Folic Acid may support healthy memory and healthy cognition. Folic Acid applied topically to gums supports periodontal health. Folic acid is an antagonist to the amino acid homocysteine and homocysteine may contribute to weaker bones*.
Why supplement with Folic Acid?
Many common medications deplete folic acid reserves. Supplementation of Folic Acid can replenish this crucial B vitamin. Medications that are known to deplete folic acid are: methothrexate, antacids, anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotic medications, anticonvulsant medications, antidiabetic medications, birth control medications, cholesterol lowering medications, diuretics, ulcer medications. Low levels of folate may adversely affect mood.
Can't I just get folic acid from my diet?
A diet rich in vegetables (leafy greens) will provide a good source of folic acid. However, folic acid is easily depleted and many individuals are actually deficient in folic acid because they have a genetic problem that interferes with its metabolism. Did you know that synthetic folic acid actually absorbs better than that consumed from one's diet? Especially for individuals with folic acid concerns, Folixor PLUS is an excellent choice.
What about studies linking Folic Acid intake with cancer?
Folic Acid does not cause cancer. It's numerous benefits and countless studies showing its benefits contradict studies performed in the last few years that suggest otherwise. For an excellent piece that discussed the problems with the studies linking folic acid with cancer please read "Folic Acid Does Not Cause Cancer" by Mr. Andrew Saul from the Orthomolecular News Service. -
How to use Folixor PLUS
Take 1 dose daily or as directed by your health professional. Higher milligram quantities are available only for individuals under physician supervision. Folixor PLUS is an excellent supplement for individuals who are on the go (and want to keep the supplement in their desk).

About DMAE and DMAE Amine
DMAE is described as a "vitamer" and is believed to help support the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is broken down into choline , a b vitamin that has many supportive benefits for the body, inside and out.
Our DMAE topical contains DMAE in its AMINE form. This is the ONLY form of DMAE that is absorbed by the skin. If you are using DMAE bitartrate, you are not using the right DMAE product for direct to skin application. In addition, Intensive Nutrition's DMAE topical formulas contain a high percentage of DMAE. Many other formulas that contain DMAE amine only do so in small, less effective amounts (and as a consequence do not list the percentage in the product description).
How does DMAE positively affect the skin?
DMAE supports the appearance of skin by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It may also help the skin appear less puffy.
-
FAQ ABOUT DMAE AND SKIN CARE
Are solutions of DMAE less than 3% effective?
For those with sensitive skin who desire a DMAE product, 1% is supportive and can be helpful in reducing the appearance of skin aging.
Are there any precautions I should take with DMAE?
As an amine, DMAE can be irritating to the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin. It can also be irritating to the most sensitive AREAS of the skin (under the eyes). We do not recommend putting DMAE under the eyes or in other sensitive areas. After application of DMAE, let the product dry thoroughly before applying other products, e.g. moisturizer, makeup, cleanser. DMAE may react with other products causing irritation. If irritation or redness occurs, stop using DMAE or consider using the 1% solution if using the 3% strength formula. Any redness will dissipate after DMAE usage is stopped.
What other supplements are helpful for skin?
Vitamin C (Mag'C) Essential Fatty Acids (Omega Oils), R Lipoic and Alpha Lipoic Acid. We suggest adding R Lipoic Acid for skin regimens. -
