Onco-Dex:
The Ultimate Formula For Supercharging Your Immunity – And Much More....
Barry's Vitamins and Herbs combines powerful three superfoods and a revolutionary delivery system for life-changing results.
Onco-Dex is formulated with superior ingredients – without compromise - to help you achieve the optimal health that goes with the highest quality of life.
Superfood #1: Indole 3-Carbinol(I3C) - with BroccoPlus™(broccoli sprouts concentrate):
Indole 3-Cabinol is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
Major studies over the past two decades have confirmed the superior power of Indole 3-Carbinole to boost your immune system as well as to provide numerous other health benefits:
· The May/June 1995 issue of the journal Anticancer Research shows that Indole 3-Carbinol was shown to inhibit mammary cancer cells in animals.
· According to the September 1995 Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences... Indole 3-Carbinole helps to promote the detoxification of potential carcinogens.
· A 1999 study conducted by Harvard University and Ohio State University found that men who ate two or more half-cup servings of broccoli per week had a 44 per cent lower incidence of bladder cancer compared to men who ate less than one serving each week.
· 2003 – Researchers at theUniversity of California, Berkeley conducted culture tests showing diindolylmethane (DIM) – broken down from Indole 3-Carbinol during digestion - inhibits the proliferation of human prostate cancer cells.
· 2004 – The May issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published an animal study revealing that a naturally occurring compound in broccoli - already shown to fight cancer in cells - may also be able to reduce risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
· 2006 - Data, published in the journal Carcinogenesis - presented at the National Cancer Research Institute Conference - reports that Indole 3-Carbinole can alter breast cancer cells and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death).
· 2007 - The Journal of Nutrition published a report stating that the heart healthy effects of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower may be due to their ability to influence the secretion of a cholesterol transporter.
· 2008 – Scientists from the University of Minnesota published a report in Cancer Prevention Research finding that mice exposed to carcinogens found in tobacco smoke and fed varying doses of I3C had significant reductions in the number of lung tumours.
· 2009 - The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports found an increase in the activity of enzymes linked to detoxification when rats were fed broccoli and tomato powder with enhanced bioactive contents.
· 2010 – The journal Cancer Prevention Research reports that researchers at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Cernter – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Sove Research Insititute have discovered how a compound produced when eating broccoli and brussel sprouts can block the proliferation of cancer cells.
Indole 3-Carbinol is valued for:
· Enhancing heart health
· Sweeping out toxins by supporting the liver
· Powerful antioxidant protection and preventing DNA damage
· Supporting normal cellular reproduction
· Helping to maintain healthy hormonal balance
For women with estrogen-related health issues or those on hormone replacement therapy Indole 3-Carbinol plays an important role in supporting healthy estorgenic activity:
· It helps in protect estrogen-sensitive tissues such as those of the breast and cervix
· It may reduce the symptoms of PMS.
· Supports healthy overall estrogenic activity.
· Enhances the activity of certain enzymes involved in detoxifying estrogens during the metabolism and excretion cycle.
Known in medical circles as "the natural alternative to Tamoxifen" - a drug used to treat a variety of cancers – Indole 3-Carbinol is recognized by the M.D. Anderson Cancer Clinic as a resource for treating many forms of cancer.
Complementing the Indole 3-Carbinol extract is BroccoPlus™.
BroccoPlus™ is a concentrated broccoli sprouts extract high in glucosinolates and sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane has shown anti-cancer, anti-diabetic and antimicrobial properties in experimental models.
Glucosinolates breakdown into Isothiocyanates that help neutralize carcinogens.
Superfood #2 : Curcumin C3 Complex 95%
When you hold tumeric powder in your hand... what catches your eye is its vibrant golden color.
This gorgeous golden powder gets its color from Curcuminoids – phytochemicals found in turmeric... a tuber that is ground into powder for curry. Curcuminoids are usually grouped together and refered to as curcumin.
Curcumin C3 Complex - MD Anderson's tumeric of choice for treating cancer - is the turmeric chosen for Onco-Dex.
For health enthusiasts curcumin is prized as the most powerful antioxidant gifted by nature.
And for centuries it has been used by traditional Asian medicine to boost energy, sooth upset stomachs, detoxify the liver and help relieve athritic pain.
Many herbalists and practitioners of natural medicine consider turmeric to be the most important herb on earth.
And now prominent scientific and medical institutions worldwide are researching curcumin for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.
Curcumin came to the attention of medical and scientific experts when it was revealed that many diseases common in Western society were rare in India.
Reserchers discovered that curcumin from the tumeric plant was the key to explaining this development.
The UCLA School of Medicine, Tufts Univerisity School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and the MD Anderson Cancer Center are just a few of the prestigious organizations studying curcumin's positive impact on a host of diseases.
Curcumin has reached National Cancer Institute phase II trials and its benefits have been documented by the National Cancer Institute.
The October 9, 2006 edition of The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, revealed that curcuminoids from Curcumin C3 Complex could boost the body's ability to clear the build up of plaque in the brain that is linked to Alzheimer's disease.
This plaque from amyloid-beta deposits typically accumulates in our brain as we age and it is believed to be a contributing factor to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
The study conducted by researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the VA Greater Los Angeles Health Care System found “...that curcumin may help boost the immune system of specific Alzheimer's disease patients.”
Besides being a powerful antioxidant protecting the body from the free-radical damage linked to aging - curcumin also stimulates the production of Glutathione... a powerful antioxidant vital to the health of every cell .
Curcumin has been shown to help reduce inflammation, enhance blood circulation and detoxify the liver.
Curcumin is also known for its antibaterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
Studies indicate that curcumin also helps lower harmful LDL-Cholesterols while raising the level of beneficial HDL-Cholesterols.
Superfood #3: Green Tea(90% Polyphenols, 50% EGCG)
For over 5,000 years healers in Asia have realized what only a few of today's drug addled medical establishment are only beginning to grasp...
Nature's pharmacy can not only be patented but it won't be matched or duplicated.
For over 5,000 years people in the Orient enjoyed the life-enhancing properties of green tea – well before green tea had some cache over here with the birkenstock crowd.
Green tea is well known for antioxidant activity that is beneficial for many facets of general health.
The secret to green tea's power comes from compounds called polyphenols with EGCG – epigallocatechin – being the king of antioxidants.
EGCG helps inhibit the growth of cancer cells and helps kill off cancer cells without any harm to heathy cells.
ECGC has been found to help lower LDL-cholesterol levels and to help reduce the formation of harmful blood clots - major causes of heart disease.
Scientific research indicats polyphenols from the green tea can detoxify toxic chemicals, inhibit cancer cell activity and stimulate production of immune-strengthening enzymes.
In 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published a study indicating that esophageal cancer was reduced by nearly 60% for Chinese men and women who drank green tea on a daily basis.
Jump to a study released in 2009 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing reporting on the life-extending effects of EGCG...
In a nutshell it states that EGCG has been shown to have a beneficial effect on anticarcinogenesis, antiobesity, and blood pressure reduction.
In another study University of Purdue researchers concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
A 2006 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that elderly Japanese people who consumed more than 2 cups of green tea a day had a 50 percent lower chance of experiencing mental decline... in comparison to those who drank fewer than 2 cups a day, or who consumed other tested beverages.
And there is much more... such as fat reduction.
A November, 1999 edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland.
Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.
Many other studies indicate that the polyphenols in green tea can help:
· relieve Rheumatoid arthritis
· Reduce high cholesterol levels
· Cut stroke by up to 80%
· Provide anti-cancer support
· Promote weight loss
· Digestion
· Restore healthy bacteria in the intestines
· Fight heart disease
· Stop dental decay and gum disease
· Fight bad breath
· Reduce the risk of cariovascular disease
· Fight infection
· Enhance impaired immune function
Introducing an evolutionary leap in the science of nutraceuticals...
Unfortunately... because of poor bioavailability and absorption... the average person will only enjoy a small amount of the benefits to be had from these nutraceuticals...
unless a special delivery agent is added to the mix.
Indole 3-Carbinol, Cucurminoids and EGCG are all relatively unstable in the intestines... an environment substantially different from that of a test tube.
By adding cyclodextrin to Onco-Dex, we have greatly enhanced the benefits you will experience from taking Onco-Dex.
Barry's Vitamins and Herbs has combined the ingredients of Onco-Dex with a powerful delivery system that blasts through barriers which previously prevented their effective absorption and bioavailabilty.
This breakthrough has been made possible by a class of oligosaccharides called cyclodextrins - a complex of sugar molecules bound together in a cylinder-like structure.
Cyclodextrins have already been proven as a delivery system for pharmaceuticals for many years.
Cyclodextrin has be classified by the Food and Drug Administration as Generally Recognized As Safe(GRAS).
Cyclodextrin combined with nutrients dramatically improves bioavailabilty and protects curcumin from the corrosive elements of heat, light and air.
And most importantly cyclodextrin raises the solubility of these nutraceuticals so they can pass through the intestines … navigate the blood stream... and reach their destination with their potent powers intact.
BioPerine® - an extract from black pepper known to enhance our fat burning metabolism – has been added to Onco-Dex for heightened bioavailability and a healthier... younger... energetic you.
