UltraClear Sustain Medical Food
- Nutritionally supports the "Regenerate" and "Reinoculate" phases of Metagenics GI Restoration Program. ♦
- Features specially processed high amylose rice flour, augmented with essential amino acids to increase the biological value of the protein. ♦
- Provides high-molecular-weight rice dextrins as the carbohydrate source and medium-chain triglycerides as a source of readily absorbed and metabolized lipids. ♦
- Fortified with nutrients such as zinc gluconate, L-glutamine, and pantothenic acid to nutritionally support gastrointestinal mucosa integrity. ♦
- Provides fructooligosaccharides (FOS)and inulin to support the growth of "friendly" intestinal bacteria. ♦
UltraInflamX Medical Food
- Can be used as part of a comprehensive elimination, GI Restoration, or anti-inflammatory lifestyle program. ♦
- 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 the phytonutrients rutin, curcuminoids, and quercetin to nutritionally support healthy essential fatty acid metabolism. ♦
- Provides a low-allergy-potential rice protein concentrate that is augmented with essential amino acids for increased biological value. ♦
- Supplies high-molecular-weight rice dextrins as a carbohydrate source. ♦
- Provides a good source of antioxidants with a high ORAC†† value of 17,108. ♦
UltraClear Renew Medical Food
- Helps to address altered pain signaling and neuromuscular function associated with fibromyalgia. ♦
- Features a proprietary spent hops powder and extracts of prune, pomegranate, and watercress. ♦
- Preliminary laboratory research suggests that spent hops may induce the expression of metallothionein, an antioxidant protein associated with the body's detoxification of some heavy metals. ♦
- Preliminary laboratory work suggests that spent hops and prune extract may promote the activity of quinone reductase, a Phase II detoxification enzyme. ♦
- Preliminary laboratory research suggests that pomegranate extract may increase the activity of glutathione-S-tranferase (GST), an important Phase II detoxification enzyme.♦
- Provides glycine to support Phase II glycine conjugation, along with sulfate and L-cysteine to support Phase II sulfation. ♦
- Supplies green tea catechins and mixed carotenoids to protect against reactive species generated during hepatic detoxification. ♦
- Provides zinc, which some research suggests may help reduce oxidative stress associated with the metabolism and detoxification of heavy metals by beneficially influencing the activity and genetic expression of metallothionein. ♦
- In preliminary research†, UltraClear RENEW and a modified elimination diet was associated with a decrease in FibroQuest total score (pain and stiffness score) and an increase in excretion of certain heavy metals (such as mercury). ♦
UltraClear PLUS Medical Food
- Provides the same great macro- and micronutrient base formula and benefits as UltraClear, but with added support for those people with low Phase II activities. ♦
- Features added glycine, taurine, sodium sulfate, and catechins from decaffeinated green tea to better support Phase II activities. ♦
- Safe for long term use in individuals with chronic exposure to toxins. ♦
