Biost
Biost® Is A Special Combination Formula With the Principal Ingredients of 170 Mg of Veal Bone PMG® Extract, Manganese, And Calcium Lactate
Bone serves a myriad of functions beyond providing shape and support for the body. Bone stores essential mineral salts while the bone marrow provides a manufacturing plant for the formation of blood cells. Manganese is necessary for bone growth, development, and replacement. Manganese is involved with the health and maintenance of ligaments and tendons as demonstrated in numerous animal studies. It helps to form cartilage and synovial fluid, and is required to synthesize bone. Manganese is also necessary (in small quantities) for protein and fat metabolism. It supports healthy nerves and strengthens immunity. Manganese also plays a role in blood sugar regulation and energy production.*
HOW BIOST® KEEPS YOU HEALTHY
Maintains cellular health
Protomorphogen™ extract is the brand name of Standard Process' extracts derived from nucleoprotein-mineral molecules. The foundation for the function of these uniquely formulated nucleoprotein-mineral extracts comes from the antigen-antibody reaction that takes place during normal cell maintenance. The antigenic properties promote healthy cellular division, function, and growth. When a tissue needs support, at least a dozen different compounds are formed that can cause white blood cells to travel together toward the compromised area. They include degenerative products of the tissues themselves. These substances strongly activate the macrophage system, and within a few hours, the macrophages begin to devour the destroyed tissue byproducts. At times, the macrophages can also affect the structure of the remaining healthy cells. The veal bone PMG™ extract in
Biost® appears to neutralize the circulating antibody, thereby contributing to the maintenance of cellular health.*
Supports skeletal health
Manganese acts as a catalyst and cofactor in many enzymatic processes important in skeletal and connective tissue development. Manganese is necessary for appropriate bone growth and development. Manganese play a prominent role among the enzymes necessary for mucopolysaccharide (thick gelatinous material that is found in many places in the body – i.e. – mucous secretions and synovial fluid) synthesis. Mucopolysaccharide is an important constituent of the bone and cartilage structural matrix, as well as in the health and maintenance of ligaments and tendons.*
Improves calcium absorption
While many people fail to take in adequate amounts of calcium from their diets, their calcium intake is further compromised by eating and drinking things that inhibit calcium absorption or that contain calcium in a complex state. Calcium lactate is a very soluble and highly bioavailable calcium salt, changing to calcium bicarbonate (the type used by the body) in one chemical step. Unlike other forms of calcium, which are largely insoluble in water and need acid conditions in order to be absorbed, Standard Process' calcium lactate is highly soluble in water (a neutral pH) and does not depend on acidic conditions to perform its function.*
WHAT MAKES STANDARD PROCESS BIOST® UNIQUE
Biost® contains enzyme factors, minerals, amino acids, and proteins combined with veal bone PMG™ extract.
The veal bone PMG™ extract contains bone tissue and bone marrow providing natural support for the healthy formation of red blood cells.*
Contains Protomorphogen™ extracts.
Protomorphogen™ extracts are remarkable ingredients extracted and processed in a singularly unique manner by Standard Process Inc.
Use only adult sources of protomorphogen™ extracts because they contain the important antigenic properties of nucleoprotein-mineral determinants, the foundation of the product.
Biost® provides nutritional ingredients and support for health cellular division, growth, repair, and function.*
The calcium lactate in Biost® is not derived from a dairy source.
Standard Process obtains their calcium lactate from pure-vegetable sources of calcium.
The ingredients in Biost® are processed to remain intact, complete nutritional compounds.
Not disassociated into isolated components.
UNIQUE PROCESSING
Standard Process uses a patented, exclusive low-temperature, high-vacuum drying technique.
This process preserves the bone's enzymatic vitality and nutritional potential.
Expert microbiologists and chemists in on-site labs constantly conduct bacteriological and analytical tests of raw materials, product batches, and finished products.
These analytical tests ensure consistent quality and safety.
Vitamin and mineral analyses conducted validate product content and specifications.
Assures high quality and delivery.
