New Beginnings Minerals

Calcium Citrate Powder
$18

Adequate intake of calcium on a daily basis is vitally important for everyone, especially children who are on restricted diets and/or who are undergoing detoxification therapies that can deplete calcium levels in the body. Adequate levels of calcium are important in maintaining nervous and immune system function, healthy bones, teeth, heart, muscles, and blood coagulation. In addition, this essential mineral plays an important role in the absorption of vitamin B12.

When taken with meals, New Beginnings Nutritionals Calcium Citrate Powder is ideal for preventing oxalate absorption from oxalate-rich foods and dissolves quickly into food or drink leaving very little taste. Each dose provides 350 mg of elemental calcium per dose.

Liquid Calcium
$28

New Beginnings Nutritionals Liquid Calcium is an ultra concentrated blend of bio-available liquid ionic calcium that mixes easily into water or juice. Ionized minerals are very bio-available because they are easily recognized and absorbed by the body, which results in better utilization and assimilation into the cells.

This unique ultra concentrate ionic formula was specially created to provide the highest amount of absorbable calcium in the smallest amount of liquid possible for ease of administration. Adequate intake of calcium on a daily basis is vitally important for everyone, especially children who are on restricted diets and/or who are undergoing detoxification therapies that can deplete calcium levels in the body.

In addition, this essential mineral plays an important role in the absorption of vitamin B12.

New Beginnings Nutritionals Liquid Calcium contains water-soluble calcium in an angstrom-sized (1/10,000^th of a micron) ionic form bonded to ultra pure water that can be easily absorbed into the cells with no digestion required. This formula is free of artificial preservatives or sweeteners and is likely to be tolerated by even the most extremely chemically sensitive individuals.

Cal/Mag Citrate 250 capsules
$22

New Beginning’s Calcium/Magnesium Citrate is an ideal combination formula for individuals wanting to take both calcium and magnesium together in the citrate form. This is an especially useful supplement for those individuals trying to follow a Low Oxalate Diet. Oxalates are molecules that are abundant in many plant foods but when absorbed into the body in high amounts (possibly as a result of a leaky gut); it can lead to oxidative damage, depletion of glutathione, inflammation and the formation of crystals, which have been associated with pain.

Scientific studies have shown that calcium and magnesium react with oxalate in food to make an insoluble salt that cannot be absorbed. In addition, the citrate portion of the molecule competes with oxalate for absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. For more information on oxalates, go to the following link:

Calcium Chewables with Magnesium 250 tablets
$29

Supplementing with calcium is essential for individuals who are on a gluten/casein-free diet. Adequate calcium levels are necessary to maintain healthy bones, teeth, heart, muscles, blood coagulation, and immune system function. Magnesium is an essential mineral that is important for adequate calcium absorption, cellular metabolism and overall healthy body functioning. The symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include poor appetite, anxiety, mental confusion, weakness, fatigue, confusion, sleep disturbances, and muscles spasms and twitching. These great tasting chewable tablets have a NEW! natural cherry flavor and are sweetened with xylitol, a natural and healthy sugar alternative. Each tablet is formulated to provide 333 mg of calcium citrate and 50 mg of magnesium citrate for optimal absorption. For children who are not receiving adequate calcium in their diet because of allergies or sensitivities to dairy, the suggested dose is 1000 mg of calcium daily.





Liquid Iron
$20

New Beginnings Nutritionals offers an ultra concentrated blend of ionic liquid iron that mixes easily into water or juice. Ionized minerals are very bio-available because they are easily recognized and absorbed by the body, which results in better utilization and assimilation into the cells.

The body’s ability to utilize a mineral is primarily a matter of size and solubility. If the mineral particles can be reduced down small enough, they can then be absorbed by the body without the need for them to be broken down into a less usable form through the process of digestion. The most important issue for absorption of a mineral is making sure it is in its ionic form. The dominant factor is that the mineral must be freed from whatever matrix it is contained within so it can be recognized and taken up by the body. Being in its ionic form helps the body recognize and more effectively utilize the minerals.

Iron, an essential mineral, is part of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of the blood and part of myoglobin, which helps muscle cells store oxygen. Symptoms of iron deficiency include weakness, fatigue, decrease in physical performance and learning problems. Without enough iron, adenosine triphosphate (the fuel the body runs on) cannot be properly synthesized. Iron should only be supplemented when blood levels show a deficiency and when under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner.





Chelated Magnesium 120 capsules
$24

Magnesium is an essential mineral that is important for adequate calcium absorption, cellular metabolism and overall healthy body functioning. Magnesium deficiency can include poor appetite, anxiety, mental confusion, weakness, fatigue, confusion, sleep disturbances, and muscles spasms and twitching. New Beginnings Chelated Magnesium contain chelated minerals, which are surrounded by and bonded to amino acids, in a stable form that are efficiently absorbed by the body.

Liquid Magnesium

Chelated Selenium 90 Capsules
$12

Selenium is a powerful antioxidant, which plays an important part in the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which is considered the most important factor in resistance to free radical damage at the cellular level. Low levels of selenium have been implicated in many chronic disease states. Because this very important trace mineral is mostly found in dairy and whole wheat, diets lacking in these foods will be deficient in selenium. Adequate levels of selenium are needed to support the immune system and the body’s detoxification process. It is also thought to affect eyesight, liver function, heart health and skin health. One capsule of New Beginnings Chelated Selenium supplies approximately 200 mcg of the trace mineral selenium. It is best to give selenium at least 30 minutes before, or two hours after giving vitamin C.

Liquid Zinc
$20

New Beginnings Nutritionals offers an ultra concentrated blend of ionic liquid zinc that mixes easily into water or juice. Ionized minerals are very bio-available because they are easily recognized and absorbed by the body, which results in better utilization and assimilation into the cells.

The body’s ability to utilize a mineral is primarily a matter of size and solubility.

The dominant factor is that the mineral must be freed from whatever matrix it is contained within so it can be recognized and taken up by the body. Being in its ionic form helps the body recognize and utilize the minerals.

Zinc is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system and this essential trace element is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes and is involved in most major metabolic pathways. The immune system depends on zinc in almost every aspect. Zinc deficiency can be common in children with special needs and immune dysfunction. Zinc bolsters the immune system and makes wounds heal faster. It is integral to the growth and maintenance of body tissues and it plays a major role in the development of fetuses and the growth of children. General signs of zinc deficiency are sleep disturbances, diarrhea, poor appetite, unhealthy skin, behavioral problems, inability to heal wounds and chronic infections.

New Beginnings Botanical Extracts

Allimax Liquid
$32

Allimax Liquid contains 100% pure stabilized Allisure™ allicin extract, the most important and active constituent found in garlic. Allisure™ allicin is extracted from fresh garlic using a completely natural process - without the use of solvents – to produce the most stable, pure and potent liquid allicin extract available. Most garlic supplements available contain less than 5% allicin or can provide only unstable “allicin potential” which oftentimes cannot survive the stomach acid, preventing it’s conversion to true allicin. Allimax Liquid, however, contains 100% stable Allisure™ allicin that is able to survive the digestive process and needs no conversion by the body before going to work.

Scientific studies have shown the multiple benefits of allicin which includes supporting a healthy cardiovascular, immune and digestive system due to its anti-fungal, anti-biotic and anti-viral properties. Each drop of Allimax Liquid delivers the amount of allicin contained in 40 cloves of garlic without containing all the other compounds that cause a garlic scent to come through the skin and breath. As a result, the fresh garlic taste quickly dissipates after ingestion and does not leave a lingering garlic taste in your mouth.

Curcumin 120 Capsules
$16

Curcumin is the main component of Turmeric, (Curcuma longa) which is known as the tradiitional spice from India that is used in curry dishes. The principal curcuminoid compound in curcumin has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antii-microbial properties that have been extensively researched for its ability to support colon, joint, cardiovascular and neuronal health.

Elderberry Extract 90 capsules
$28

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is derived from the dark purple berry or from the white to light-yellow flowers of the black or common elder tree, a small tree native to Europe. It was used traditionally to make topical remedies for many ailments. Elderberry Extract is known for its antioxidant, diuretic, laxative, immune, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.

According to research, elderberry anthocyanins enhance immune function by boosting the production of cytokines, proteins acting as messengers in the immune system to help regulate immune response. An Israeli study on the anti-viral activity of elderberry extract found that in vitro elderberry extract inhibited replication of a number of strains of influenza A and B in cell cultures. In the same paper, administration of elderberry extract to 27 patients with influenza shortened the duration of flu symptoms.





Goldenseal 30 capsules
$17

A North American native herb, the active ingredients of goldenseal include a group of alkaloids, hydrastine and berberine. These alkaloids are strongly astringent and help reduce inflammation of mucous membranes and also have antiseptic properties. A great deal of research has shown that berberine has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic activity. Goldenseal's anti-inflammatory properties are soothing for the gastrointestinal tract and promote health in the digestive system, immune system and nervous system.

Grapefruit Seed Extract liquid
$12.50

Caution: Do not put in eyes. Do not use full strength in mouth, ears, nose or sensitive areas. This product may cause irritation if used full strength on skin.

MCT Liquid
$14

MCT liquid is an excellent energy and fat source for people who have impaired fat digestion. Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that are easier for the body to digest. Most fats consumed in our daily diet are long chain triglycerides, which are broken down in the intestine and then must be converted into a form that can be transported in the blood. But MCTs are broken down to caprylic acid at a much faster rate, making them more absorbable even in individuals who produce low levels of lipase. An important benefit of MCT liquid is that it has a high concentration of caprylic acid. Caprylic acid is a fatty acid that has potent natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, which can be beneficial in keeping a healthy balance of intestinal flora.

Milk Thistle 60 capsules
$20

Milk thistle is a common herb native to the Mediterranean and has been used for over 2000 years for nutritional support of liver function. The milk thistle flower is rich in three flavonolignins: silybin, silydianin and silychristin. When combined, they form silymarin, the bioflavonoid complex responsible for it's powerful protective and regenerative effects on the liver. New Beginnings Nutritionals Milk Thistle contains 80% silymarin making it a strong and effective supplement for liver support. Milk thistle helps protect the liver from damaging pesticides, heavy metals, and liver-damaging medications by nourishing and strengthening liver cells. Silymarin in milk thistle acts as an antioxidant, protecting the liver from free-radical damage and stimulates glutathione production. New Beginnings Nutritionals Milk Thistle capsules contain 250 mg of milk thistle herbal extract (seed) (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.) Standardized to provide 200 mg of silymarin and 100 mg of milk thistle seed (non-standardized.)

This compound, as well as other polyphenols that make up olive leaf extract, have been shown to have strong antioxidant, anti-yeast, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties. Recent studies have demonstrated oleuropein's growth inhibition of several pathogenic bacterial strains, including Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus cereus. Other studies have shown that the olive plant's phenolics can reduce the production of toxins from Aspergillus flavus.*









Oreganol 60 softgel caps
$29

North American Herb & Spice has created a superior oregano oil product called Oreganol – P73, which is made from the wild, mountain-grown, Mediterranean oregano. This is the only oregano product on the market that has been extensively researched in studies conducted by Georgetown University.

Oreganol contains over 64% Cavacrol, the active ingredient in oregano oil. In addition, this product does not contain Thymol, a harmful substance that is often found in inferior grades of oregano oil. This high potency oregano oil is free of all chemicals and pesticides - produced by cold pressing and steam distillation - and emulsified in extra virgin olive.

L-Theanine 60 capsules (anxiety relief)
$19

L-Theanine is a unique amino acid found in green tea, which has been traditionally used for centuries to promote relaxation . L-Theanine has been studied for its use in causing relaxation, without drowsiness. One way to analytically record relaxation is to measure weak electric impulses on the surface of the brain known as brain waves. Of the four types of brain wave alpha, beta, gamma, and theta, alpha is the wave associated with the state of relaxation, without drowsiness. One study showed that 200 mg of L-Theanine generated alpha waves in the occipital and parietal regions of the brain with no adverse side effects being reported. Other studies have indicated that the amount of alpha waves generated is dose dependant and that theanine reaches the brain within 30 minutes after oral administration. L-Theanine is also involved in the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma amino butyric acid (GABA). GABA influences the levels of two other neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin, producing the key relaxation effect.

Uva Ursi Extract Liquid
$12

For those who prefer liquid herbal formulations, HoneyCombs Industries offers a high quality, cold processed liquid organic uva ursi which is colloidalized, or broken down into particles that are absorbed at the cellular level, instead of having to be digested. It is made with natural vegetable glycerine instead of alcohol, and contains catalyst altered water, which helps aid the cells to more completely absorb the nutrients in the herbs.

Uva Ursi is a well known herb that supports the immune system and intestinal health through its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.

Melatonin 1 mg 100 tablets
$11

Melatonin is a hormone, which is naturally produced by the pineal gland, located in the back of the brain. When children and adults have difficulty sleeping, supplementing with melatonin can be helpful in regulating the sleep cycle. Melatonin also supports the immune system by helping maintain the activity of circulating natural killer cells. Melatonin is considered a potent antioxidant that enters all body cells to help prevent free radical damage. It is lipid and water-soluble allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier freely. Some studies show that melatonin is more effective than glutathione and vitamin E in scavenging and neutralizing certain radicals that induce DNA damage. Furthermore, melatonin stimulates glutathione peroxidase, making it an important supplement for children who are deficient in glutathione.

New Beginnings Enzymes

Houston's AFP-Peptizyde 90 capsules
$28

AFP Peptizyde™ was developed in response to parents request for a high DPP IV-containing enzyme product that did not include fruit-based enzymes such as papain or bromelain. Like Peptizyde™, it is a combination of three different proteolytic enzymes isolated from fungal plant sources. Each enzyme has a unique set of peptide bonds it prefers to break, so the combination of these enzymes allows much more efficient means of quickly and thoroughly breaking down (hydrolyzing) proteins to its smaller components. The enzymes in AFP Peptizyde™ work only on food proteins, not carbohydrates, fats, or other compounds, and do not interfere with medications or other supplements (unless they are also proteins, which is extremely unlikely). AFP Peptizyde™ may be used in combination with other enzyme products, such as HN-Zyme Prime and or No-Fenol. One would use either Peptizyde™ or AFP Peptizyde™ for protein digestion based on 1) known sensitivities to papain or, 2) a child objecting to the odor of Peptizyde™ (which is due to the presence of papain).





Houston's AFP chewables 120 capsules
$30

A chewable digestive form of AFP Peptizyde with a slightly sweet citrus flavor designed to efficiently breakdown all food proteins including casein, gluten, meat and soy. Starts to work in the acid environment of the stomach, which decreases the likelihood of peptides being formed and absorbed in the small intestine. May be used as a companion or alternative to the gluten-free/casein-free diet.

Houston's TriEnza Chewables 120 tablets
$47

TriEnza Chewable is Houston’s new multi-enzyme TriEnza formula in a flavored, chewable tablet. TriEnza contains:

• all the protease enzymes for protein digestion from AFP-Peptizyde
• all the enzymes (except cellulase) from Zyme Prime for carbohydrates and fats
• 1/2 the enzymes from No-Fenol (xylanase) for certain fruits and vegetables high in phenols
• High Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP IV) enzyme activity
• natural pineapple/tutti frutti flavor

TriEnza is a combination of Houston’s best enzymes for digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and phenols. TriEnza is high in DPP IV, the only enzyme known to break down casomorphin (from casein) and gluteomorphin (from gluten). TriEnza Chewable is different from our other chewable products. Fructose was replaced with a combination of xylitol and IsoMalt™, which is a low-digestive sugar alcohol derived from beets. IsoMalt™ is actually a dietary fiber that has beneficial properties for gut health. TriEnza will not interfere with time-released medications.

Houston's TriEnza 180 capsules
$50

Combination of AFP Peptizyde, Zyme Prime & No-Fenol

• Breaks down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats

TriEnza™ is an economical combination of our best enzymes. Two capsules of TriEnza™ contain a blend of 1 AFP Peptizyde, 1 Zyme Prime and 1/2 capsule No-Fenol (xylanse).

TriEnza™ aids in digestion of food proteins; including gluten, casein, and soy; starches; carbohydrates; sugars (including lactose); and fats.

TriEnza™ is high in DPP IV, dipeptidyl peptidase IV; the only enzyme known to breakdown casomorphin (from casein) and gluteomorphin (from gluten). TriEnza™ is safe with no toxicity demonstrated at any dosing level. Other enzymes, supplements and medications may be given with TriEnza™ because it contains no cellulase enzyme to interfere with time-released medications.
