ButyraGen™ has the unique ability to generate butyrate mostly independent of the state of the microbiome, delivering benefits to a wide variety of people. ButyraGen™ delivers benefits as a stand-alone, low-dose prebiotic, or in combination with probiotics to further enhance the health benefits across multiple gut-organ axes.

L-Phenylalanine is an amino acid, a building block of protein. L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and is the only form of phenylalanine found in proteins. Major dietary sources of L-Phenylalanine include meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and milk. L-Phenylalanine can be readily converted into the amino acid tyrosine. Because tyrosine is necessary for the synthesis of proteins and the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, phenylalanine is an extremely important nutrient that must be obtained through the diet or supplementation.

Inositol (myo-Inositol) or cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol is a chemical compound, a six-fold alcohol (polyol) of cyclohexane. It exists in nine possible stereoisomers, of which the most prominent form, widely occurring in nature, is cis-1,2,3,5-trans-4,6-cyclohexanehexol, or myo-inositol. Inositol is a carbohydrate, though not a classical sugar. Its taste has been assayed at half the sweetness of table sugar (sucrose).

BGF-Immune®1,3-Beta-Glucan supports healthy immune function by working on the cells of the innate immune defense system to mobilize a complex set of immune defense mechanisms. This ultimately enhances the body's immune response to promote overall health and wellness. General research shows that immune function receptor bindings are specific to 1,3 linkages. Unlike other sources of Beta-Glucan from barley, oats, mushrooms and yeast that report a combined total of (1,3 & 1,4) or (1,3 & 1,6) Beta-Glucans, BGF-Immune® contains high purity 1,3 linkages with virtually no 1,4 or 1,6 linkages. It is the 1,3 linkage that is specifically associated with immune health.

This is due to such a large component of our amino acid make-up being L-Glutamine.

L-Lysine HCL is an amino acid (building block of protein). Lysine is used for treating cold sores, and is also used to improve athletic performance.

Excell® High Selenium Yeast 2000 is produced from a non-GMO yeast strain, introducing a selenium salt during active, aseptic, aerobic fermentation. During fermentation, the temperature, pH, and growth rate are closely regulated to assure consistent mineral uptake. The yeast cells organically bind the selenium from the culture medium into their natural protein matrix, producing organically bound selenium comprised of approximately 70% selenomethionine. The resulting product is washed, separated and held in refrigerated storage to assure cell viability and the absence of any unbound mineral. Prior to spray drying the chilled yeast cream is pasteurized through a high temperature sterilization system to assure that it meets or exceeds established USDA microbial requirements. A composite sample collected during spray drying and packaging is analyzed for nutrient and microbial composition by independent laboratories. Once product has met all QA/QC requirements it is released for sale with a supporting Certificate of Analysis. Excell® HSY 2000 is for manufacturing of selenium premixes for chickens, turkey, swine, dairy cattle and beef cattle.
