Support Your Body’s Natural Inflammation Response with Intenzyme Forte
Whether you’re recovering from intense workouts, managing occasional aches, or just want to support overall wellness, Intenzyme Forte by Biotics Research has got you covered!
Intenzyme Forte is a powerful proteolytic enzyme formula designed to support your body’s natural inflammatory response. Proteolytic enzymes work to break down proteins, playing a vital role in reducing inflammation, aiding digestion, and even supporting tissue repair. Here’s how Intenzyme Forte can help:
Joint & Muscle Comfort: Enzymes like trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin help ease occasional muscle soreness and joint discomfort, promoting faster recovery.
Healthy Inflammatory Response: By helping the body maintain a healthy inflammatory balance, Intenzyme Forte is great for anyone dealing with day-to-day inflammation from physical activity or minor injuries.
Enhanced Digestion: These enzymes assist with breaking down proteins, promoting efficient digestion and nutrient absorption. This also supports gut health, which is linked to immunity and overall wellness.

Supports Immune Function: A well-functioning immune system is essential for overall health, and proteolytic enzymes play a role in modulating immune responses, making Intenzyme Forte a valuable addition during cold and flu season.

Whether you’re staying active, looking for joint support, or need digestive assistance, Intenzyme Forte is a versatile, natural option to help your body recover, rejuvenate, and stay in balance.

Fight off flu season and tackle allergies with the power of natural supplements!
As the seasons change, so do our health needs. 🤧 Whether you’re facing seasonal allergies or trying to keep the flu at bay, giving your immune system a little extra support can make a big difference. Here are some key supplements to help you stay healthy and strong:
Vitamin D: Known as the “sunshine vitamin,” Vitamin D plays a vital role in immune health. It helps regulate immune responses, making it a must-have during flu season. It can also help reduce inflammation, which is especially helpful for those suffering from allergies.
Iodine: Often overlooked, iodine is crucial for a healthy thyroid, which regulates many immune functions in the body. Maintaining adequate iodine levels can support your body’s natural defenses against infections, including seasonal illnesses like the flu.
IAG (Arabinogalactan): This powerful immune-support supplement is derived from the larch tree. IAG helps boost the immune system and is known for its ability to support the body’s natural defenses against colds, flu, and respiratory infections. It also helps balance gut health, which is key to overall immune function.
Vitamin C: A classic immune booster, Vitamin C is well-known for reducing the severity of cold and flu symptoms. It’s also an antioxidant that helps to protect your cells from damage and supports skin health, which can be affected by allergens.

Whether you’re dealing with sniffles, sneezes, or want to stay proactive against the flu, these supplements can be a great addition to your daily routine. Remember, staying consistent is key to keeping your immune system strong all season long!
Let’s face the season feeling our best!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), rest and sleep are more than just time for the body to recover—they are vital for maintaining balance and harmony within our mind, body, and spirit.
According to TCM, Qi (energy) flows through our body, nourishing our organs and maintaining overall health. When we sleep, our Qi replenishes, circulating through our body to restore and repair. Without sufficient rest, this balance can be disrupted, leading to imbalances like stress, fatigue, poor digestion, and weakened immunity.
Rest isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. It’s during sleep that the heart and mind (Shen) calm, the liver detoxifies, and our bodies recharge to face the challenges of a new day.
Here are a few tips for better sleep: Create a calming evening routine. Avoid caffeine and heavy meals before bed. Try acupressure on the Yin Tang point (between the eyebrows) for relaxation
Make rest a priority, just as you would nutrition or exercise. Your body, mind, and Qi will thank you!

My advice for the week! I think I mentioned eating according to the season at least once a day.

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”
Henry David Thoreau

Blue Spirulina protein

Spirulina is rich in plant protein. Protein makes up 65% to 70% of its content. Most of this protein comes from phycocyanin, a pigment that gives spirulina its blue-green color.

Potential Health Benefits of Spirulina

Spirulina is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. It’s also high in the plant protein phycocyanin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

🌿 Eating with the Season: Wisdom from Chinese Medicine 🌿
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each season has its unique energy, and aligning our diet with these changes helps keep our bodies balanced and healthy. 🌱✨
🍂 Autumn: Focus on moistening foods like pears, pumpkin, and white mushrooms to nourish the lungs and counteract dryness.
❄️ Winter: Warm, hearty foods like soups, stews, and root vegetables strengthen the kidneys and store energy for the cold months.
🌸 Spring: Fresh, vibrant greens like spinach, sprouts, and herbs help cleanse the liver and prepare for renewal.
☀️ Summer: Hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and berries cool the body, while light, easy-to-digest meals support the heart and digestion.
TCM teaches that when we eat in harmony with nature, our bodies naturally find balance. 🌿🧘‍♀️ Let food be our medicine, and let the seasons guide us.

Did you know? A recent study suggests that sugar and sweetened drinks may raise the chances of esophagus cancer by 70% or more. Some cancer experts say sugar itself can drive cancer. Every cell in your body uses Blood sugar (glucose) for energy. But cancer cells use about 200 times more than normal cells.
