With this first issue of Thrive, we thought we would highlight a few of BioPure's new products that have anti-microbial properties. Though many of the microbes we share this world with are harmless and/or beneficial to our health, there are those such as E. coli, Staphylococcus, and tuberculosis bacteria, Candida fungus, influenza virus, malaria parasites,and others, that can cause serious disease and even death. Heavy use of synthetic antibiotics is resulting in new, more virulent and drug-resistant strains of microbes to develop. Some bacteria can also form a sessile matrix or colony, called a "biofilm", with internal communication among its aggregate cells. When this occurs, the microorganisms are even more effective at interfering with proper functioning of our own cells, and become more resistant to antibiotics. In addition, many commonly prescribed drugs can create serious side-effects, especially with long-term use. For all these reasons, it is essential to explore natural alternatives that can be used alone or in conjunction with modern drugs. Many of those come in the form of natural herbs that have been used in traditional folk medicine for centuries. These natural substances often cause little or no side-effects, and their target may have less chance of developing immunity to them.

Not only is Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, one of the world's favorite and most widely used culinary herbs, but it is also a potent anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory agent. Garlic contains a strong antioxidant compound called "allicin" and can aid the immune system in fighting off bacterial and fungal infections, and ward off cardiovascular disease by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and reducing inflammation and cholesterol. BioPure is now offering certified organic freeze-dried garlic in convenient capsules, each one providing a stable and generous 5.4 mg of allicin. This is twice the amount of bioactives in our old formula, and you get more capsules per bottle, at less cost per serving. Another idea: give your salad dressing or smoothie a super immunity boost by adding a half teaspoon of BioPure's loose freeze-dried powdered garlic. A liquid option of raw organic garlic in electrolyte solution is also available.

Artemesinin - Contains camphor and essential oils. 

Both of these products are great additions to your first-aid kit when traveling in foreign countries.

Phospholipid

Exchange

Take advantage of this terrific savings while it lasts. BioPure's Phospholipid Exchange is currently being discounted at 38% of the original cost. This liquid oral chelation formula contains Disodium EDTA encapsulated in tiny phospholipid microspheres. The phospholipids are essential to proper cell functioning and facilitate absorption of the metal chelator into cells throughout the body, including passage through the blood/brain barrier. In addition to being an excellent detoxification tool, Phospholipid Exchange also supports cardiovascular, liver, and nervous system health. Our inventory of Phospholipid Exchange is quickly running out and will eventually be replaced by our newer product, LipoHealth. LipoHealth contains the same beneficial ingredients in a convenient and stable powdered formula that is more cost-effective per serving for you.
