Essential Building Blocks has the highest biological value of any known naturally-occurring protein. It features cross flow micro-filtered whey protein which naturally supplies branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) levels (25% of the protein is composed of BCAAs) and easy-to-absorb forms of amino acids (di-and tri-peptides), which may be excellent for absorption and nitrogen retention.*

Essential Building Blocks is perfect for those who want a convenient way to increase their daily protein intake. Mix it with water; add it to your favorite food (it’s great with pancakes, oatmeal, chili, etc.); or mix it with fruit and juice to make a delicious, protein-fortified shake!

Essential GI is an innovative probiotic support formula featuring concentrated whey protein combined with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and the advanced prebiotic factors lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase.

• Supports the activity of friendly intestinal bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacteria.
• Supplies FOS and significant quantities of lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase, proteins that support intestinal microbial balance.
• Supports healthy intestinal function and supports the activity of the immune system.
• Utilizes a patented ultrafiltration and temperature/pH-controlled process that yields intact immunoglobulins and enzymes that are biologically active.

Essential pH is a medical food formulated to provide enhanced, specialized nutritional support for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, and includes macro- and micronutrients to address altered energetic function and liver detoxification. Featuring potassium citrate and sesame, this formula helps to promote alkalinization and support Phase II liver detoxification function. Essential pH also provides glycine and magnesium sulfate to support Phase II detoxification activities, as well as green tea catechins and mixed carotenoids to provide antioxidant protection against potentially harmful compounds generated during the natural detoxification process. Provided in a low-allergenic-potential rice protein concentrate base—which may be beneficial during times of increased detoxification burden—this formula provides well-rounded nutritional support. Essential pH also:

• Delivers extra support for Phase I and Phase II activity.
• Promotes an alkaline urinary pH status and Phase II detoxification activity.

Essential Relief is a medical food formulated to provide specialized nutritional support for patients with inflammatory bowel conditions, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Provided in a low-allergenic-potential rice protein base, this formula is enhanced with L-glutamine to support intestinal mucosal cells and a special phytonutrient blend of ginger, rosemary, and tumeric. Ginger and rosemary help to support healthy eicosanoid and cytokine metabolism, while turmeric extract has been shown in research to inhibit the activities of a wide variety of compounds implicated in pain and inflammation.Supports Phase II detoxification, gastrointestinal mucosa integrity, and reduction of damaging free-radical generation.

• Features a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, bioflavonoids, and phytonutrients to nutritionally support a balanced inflammatory response.
• Includes ginger and rosemary, which may help support healthy eicosanoid and cytokine metabolism.
• Provides turmeric extract, which has been shown in research to inhibit the activities of a wide variety of enzymes, cytokines, eicosanoids, and reactive species implicated in pain and inflammation.
• Supplies a low-allergenic potential protein base in the form of rice protein concentrate.

Essential Renew is a medical food formulated to provide specialized nutritional support to help address altered pain signaling and neuromuscular function in patients with fibromyalgia. Essential Renew is designed for individuals who may benefit from additional support for detoxification function, and features an array of nutrients in a low-allergen-potential rice protein base to support Phase II liver detoxification. In preliminary research with a small number of fibromyalgia patients with dental amalgams, administration of Essential Renew was associated with significant decreases in FIQ (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire) scores, including pain and stiffness.

• Helps to address altered pain signaling.
• Designed to support healthy Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification function.
• Supports healthy neuromuscular function.
