Regulat® pro Bio ‘Swing Therapy’

“It don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing….doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah…”  A true classic surviving through the ages.

So whether you grew up during the “swing generation” or you have kids or grandkids playing on swings, many of us can benefit from a little ‘Swing therapy’ with Regulat®!

What is Regulat pro Bio?

It is unique cascade fermented liquid concentrate derived from fresh organic fruit, vegetables and nuts—plus it’s LOADED with natural Vitamin C (organic acerola extract). It is one of only 5 finalists in the 2018 Eco-Excellence Awards Raw & Fermented Foods category.  Voting now open through August 31, 2018.  Just click on the Finalist Badge!

Taken orally, this nutrient-rich elixir provides support for many conditions including:

  • Arthritic and joint problems
  • Autoimmune imbalances
  • Bowel and intestinal issues
  • Circulation problems
  • Congestion
  • Lack of sleep
  • Respiratory system
  • Skin and mucous membranes
  • Sluggishness, exhaustion, energy issues
  • Allergies, and more…

But it doesn’t stop there.

You can also apply Regulat pro Bio topically. It may provide some relief for minor skin wounds (cuts, scrapes & burns), skin problems (neurodermatitis & psoriasis), herpes, warts, fungal infections, joint pain…and can even use as a nose spray for colds and allergies (1:3 diluted with water)

Tell Me More About Swing Therapy

Thought you’d never ask!  The type of “Swing Therapy” we’re referring to is great for those who are of normal health, or may have evidence of an ailment building up, as a strong preventive detoxification and deacidification program. (Those with HIGH SENSITIVITY – High toxic load, toxic metals, pesticide residues, Candidiasis, Multiple chemical hypersensitivity, Hyperacidity, Chronic inflammation, Auto-immune ailments, etc. – should do a different protocol, starting with just 3-5 drops once a day.)

Here’s our recommended Regulat pro Bio ‘Swing Therapy’ Regime:

Day   Amount of Regulat pro Bio
1-3 15 ml every morning (before breakfast)
4-13 15 ml every morning and evening
Week 3 30 ml every morning and evening
Week 4 30 ml every morning, noon and evening
Week 5 30 ml every morning and evening
Week 6 15 ml every morning and evening

GENERAL CLEANSING GUIDELINES If you experience discomfort due to toxins being released – skin outbreaks, mucous, muscle pain, etc. – then simply halve the dosage or stop taking Regulat for 1-2 days until healing actions subside.

  • In the beginning, you may wish to take chelating agents such as Slippery Elm, Chlorella, Spirulina or Zeolite powder.
  • Proper hydration of 1-2 liters of water a day is required to facilitate maximum elimination of toxins mobilized by Regulat.
  • In addition, high-water content foods (fruits and vegetables) will support this effect. Take enough rest so that the body has the foundation for healing itself.
  • Use the supplied plastic measure cup, not a metal spoon.
  • Regulat may be diluted with water or organic, red grape juice according to personal taste.

ATP and Athletic Performance – Recovery for Athletes

runnerNutrition is an important component of an athlete’s overall performance, before, during and after competition. By using nutrients the body absorbs through food consumption, we are able to obtain energy. Mitochondria are the ‘furnaces’, responsible for producing this energy. They are the powerhouses located within cells and convert glucose (a sugar molecule derived from carbohydrates) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Often called the “molecular unit of currency” of intracellular energy transfer*, ATP is a coenzyme that enables our cells to perform a spectrum of functions, and is the main source of energy that allows the body to generate movement.

ATP and athletic performance, then, are closely related. ATP provides energy your body needs for muscle contractions, blood circulation and cardiac function, and generally fuels the body for whatever function it may be performing. The harder, longer, and more intense the workout, the more ATP that is used. When an athlete repeatedly dips into their ATP source day after day, week after week, there must be replenishment or else they begin to run that energy source dry. This can obviously cause a loss in athletic performance – the athlete would not be able to operate at prime capacity if the ‘engine’ doesn’t have fuel.

The human body produces ATP through the consumption of food eaten daily. However, there are many internal and external factors that may hinder the amount of nutrients we are able to absorb and assimilate. This may include foods treated with pesticides and other harmful substances, medications, metabolic stress, gut flora issues, and other factors that don’t provide optimal conditions for the body to produce ATP.

It is particularly important for athletes whose metabolic processes must perform at an optimal level day in and day out, that their diet include easily absorbed (natural) vitamins, minerals, trace nutrients, and high quality proteins. The ideal is to have a natural source of highly active nutrients in a form that is easily absorbed by the body and this is where cascade fermentation holds the key to success – natural foods are broken down into highly bio-available liquid nutrients and building blocks. Incorporating a supplement such as Regulat® helps increase ATP and athletic performance – in a study where participants used the product twice a day for three months, they showed an increase in ATP of more than 180% compared to baseline. The more quality building blocks are available, the more training will influence the formation of new mitochondria.

With sufficient ATP available, the body will encounter less anaerobic emergency situations even during high physical efforts. The math is simple: if the body’s own enzyme system in mitochondria is functioning optimally and the number of mitochondria is increasing at the same time, then the available oxygen is also being used at its optimum. This results in a boost in performance even without any additional training.**

History of Fermentation and Cascade Fermentation Benefits

bread making fermentationFor thousands of years people around the world have found that fermenting certain foods in a controlled way increases digestibility of the raw food and adds health-giving effects.

Evidence of the use of controlled fermentation dates back to ancient China, South America, and ancient Egypt, and includes leavened breads, milk products and pickles.  “One of the earliest functional attributes of fermented foods was their ability to introduce a change in the microflora of the human digestive tract”, says Mark J Tallon, PhD, Founder of NutriSciences Ltd. “Because many fermented micro-organisms, such as probiotics, survive digestion, they can reach specific sites of benefit within the intestinal tract where they perform functions that may aid in host health,” adds Tallon.

Tallon recognizes the history of fermentation and that it has evolved into a natural, yet state-of the-art science that is an invaluable component of the human diet. Since the time Louis Pasteur proposed using microbial metabolism to produce fermented foods, “microbiologists have uncovered the interactions of bacteria and yeast as a means of producing many natural products,” says Tallon.

As important benefit of fermentation is that of increasing the effective nutritive value of foods by increasing the ability of the body to absorb vitamins and nutrients presented during digestion. Fermentation methods have evolved from traditional to modern techniques that allow for greater production of fermented products in a clean, controlled environment.

A modern contribution to the fermentation tradition is cascade fermentation, a methodology modeled on the human body’s natural digestion process. The cascade ensures that enzymes, as well as all other micronutrients with a large molecular weight, are broken down into smaller units. It is well known that only small molecules can be absorbed through the intestinal villi. A cascade-fermented supplement such as Regulat® – whose starting ingredients are whole foods (fruits, nuts and vegetables ) – holds a diversity of enzymes, di- and tri-pepides, etc. that are smaller and highly bio-available, even being able to be absorbed directly into the blood stream.
