WHAT IS LAMININE™?

​

When we started down the path of looking to provide its customers a solid, proven nutritional supplement to aid the brain in regulating the body and build a stronger body, we searched for an amino acid and oligopeptide combination which had all the required nourishment for the task at hand.

 

We found numerous studies for the cause and effect of individual amino acids, peptides and hormones, not to mention an equal number of products touting high dosages of one over another as beneficial for consumption. What was not clear was how many companies had developed and proven the right “combination” of amino acids, peptides, and growth factors required? It didn’t surprise us to find there were none. So we embarked on our own research project. We looked for a balanced amino acid/peptide blend in nature, which could meet our needs with minimal additions.

​

That is when we discovered that in 1929 a Canadian doctor, Dr. John Ralston Davison, theorized that an injected extract from fertilized hen eggs could be helpful for a number of his cancer patients. In fact, he spent well over a decade developing and researching his theory. However, when Dr. Davidson passed away in 1943, his research on fertilized hen eggs quickly and quietly came to a halt and was lost.

The Background History of Laminine™

It wasn’t until almost 50 years later that the pursuit of fertilized hen egg extract was revived by Norway’s foremost expert on egg research, Dr. Bjodne Eskeland.

 

​

We felt this could be the best “base” ingredient for our formulation. Laminine™’s parent company, Lifepharm®, Looked into what was being done with this key ingredient that had so many benefits.
They contacted the team of scientists in Norway working with it and now have exclusive rights for distribution and have it manufactured exclusively for us at Laminine™.

​ 

A patented process extracts the critical nutritional fluid from the white of an egg at the protoembryonic stage, so we called it ProtoEmbryonic Stage Extract (PESE). The extract not only provided a mechanism of rapid transport of very critical nutrients, but also contained Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor, which is most probably responsible for the amino acids and peptides to be utilized in the right manner, by “directing” their correct use by the body. The growth factor is also responsible for nurturing the body’s own stem cells both differentiated, and undifferentiated. Common amino acid formulations do not contain this growth factor, and may not be utilized by the brain in the most efficient manner.

​ 

Our team of scientists lead by Dr. Alex Martin, a leading doctor in the study of nutritional supplements, at the Lifepharm® institute of technology went to work to develop the perfect supplement. Using PESE as a base ingredient, we looked at the symptoms caused most by our diets and environment and then looked to “super charge” the PESE for modern day use. Skin and hair health, moods (depression), memory loss, fatigue and cardiovascular health are most affected by today’s lifestyle. These individual symptoms and how Laminine™ addresses them are covered later in this booklet.

​ 

Having a perfectly balanced, natural, transport mechanism, with a strong “director” with PESE we knew that we were assured that the added amino acids will not only find their way to the right areas of the body, but will be guided properly to perform their function efficiently. We then added the amino acids most critical for the health of your skin, hair, memory function, cardiovascular health and restoration of energy, from natural plant protein and marine protein. These ingredients from land, sea, and sky combine to form the powerful symbiotic relationship of our base ingredient in Laminine™ we call OPT9.

​ 

SPORTS NUTRITION

​ 

OPT9 and creatine reinforce each other. The net result of using this combination is improved performance, decreased fatigue, and a reduced risk of energy depletion in the muscles.

In 1996, a double-blind trial on the use of PESE conducted at the University of Colorado showed that the group using it experienced a strength increase that was nearly double that of the group using creatine. PESE and creatine together were found to outperform creatine and other food supplements in the areas of endurance, training, motivation, and subjective health and well-being, and it has the enthusiastic endorsement of many top athletes. They report recovering faster after training. This is linked to a substantial reduction in lactic acid production, which also contributes to increased stamina.

But what does creatine have to do with OPT9? It appears that creatine and the egg protein fractions that are found in OPT9 reinforce each other, resulting in a prominent increase in effectiveness. This means that bodybuilders and athletes experience greatly enhanced benefits when adding Laminine™ to their regimen.   No wonder the product has the enthusiastic endorsement of so many professional athletes and bodybuilders.

​ 

Whether it is a physical or mental challenge you face or just the need to handle everyday demands, Laminine™may help.

Benefits may include:

​ 

      1. A delay in lactic acid production
      2. The ability to tolerate longer training sessions.
      3. Improved Stamina
      4. Maximum Muscular Strength
      5. Faster Recovery after training sessions
      6. Quicker recovery from physical exertion
      7. Better muscle tone
      8. Increased muscle strength

MEMORY ENHANCEMENT

​ 

The most pronounced effect of artificial sweeteners and MSG in the body is to interfere with this synergistic performance. We therefore decided to address this issue when we created Laminine™.

Memory function is controlled by a well-balanced joint effect of Glutamate and Glycine. Both these amino acids act together to play a critical role in the ability of two neurons to connect, an important cellular mechanism for learning and memory to take place. PESE is low in these amino acids. Therefore, Laminine™ enhances these levels in OPT9 by the addition of an isolated vegetable protein to provide extra glutamic acid and with marine protein extract to provide extra Glycine. PESE is used to provide additional FGF in the aid of memory. FGF is known to build neurites, the bridges between the neurons and the eceptors/transmitters of signals. Research shows FGF also inhibits and destroys mutant protein genes, in this case, quite possibly blocking the genes responsible for memory loss.

​ 

In 1962, it was discovered that that neuro stem cells reside in certain parts of the brain, where there is a malfunction. It is also proven that FGF feeds and nurtures these stem cells to help the healing of these malfunctions and any scarred tissue. Lately, compelling arguments have been made to inject FGF directly to cure Huntington’s disease, Schizophrenia, OCD and Autism.

The synergistic effect of building the neurites, nurturing the stem cells, having the most relevant amino acids and factors to guide where the amino acids go, makes Laminine™ perform extremely well in memory enhancement.

​ 

Another very effective combination in Laminine™ is the two ingredients Leucine and Isoleucine.             
This combination in increased by combining the PESE and the vegetable protein extract. Leucine and Isoleucine provide ingredients for the manufacturing of many essential biochemical components in the body, some of which are utilized to stimulate the upper brain and help you to be more alert and focused.

​ 

It’s no wonder we have had reports of many positive effects of Laminine™ with people suffering from Alzheimer’s syndrome, ADD, and a general increased memory and mental focus in our busy lives.

​ 

MOOD ENHANCEMENT AND DEPRESSION

​ 

Depression is caused by many external factors, including stress. In the brain, the serotonin uptake and release mechanism is affected. Laminine™™ contains the amino acid Lysine; derived from PESE and vegetable proteins. The combination of these two components delivers a higher level of Lysine in the OPT9 than either ingredient would by itself. Lysine is known to regulate serotonin levels in the brain.

Some 20 million people worldwide experience depression serious enough to warrant being placed on prescription medication. Many, an estimated 16 to 30 percent, who take such drugs experience sexual dysfunction as a side effect. Some medical experts believe the true number of people experiencing this side effect may be as high as 78 percent due to the fact that the condition often goes unreported by patients. Clinical studies have shown that Laminine™ may be beneficial in enhancing libido among those taking antidepressants.

​ 

Many people taking Laminine™ report a pronounced improvement in their mood and an increased ability to manage stress on a daily basis. A greater overall engage with others and desire to accomplish things.

​ 

CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH AND LIBIDO ENHANCEMENT

​ 

The PESE and Vegetable proteins provide a very potent dose of Arginine. Arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide and plays a vital role in a variety of biological processes. The inner lining of blood vessels uses nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thus resulting in increased blood flow. Effects include modulation of the hair cycle, and increased libido. Nitric oxide is also known for growth hormone formation, increasing defense of the organs against effects of aging.

  

REMOVING TOXINS FROM THE BODY

​ 

PESE contains Cysteine, which is a precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, receiving much attention nowadays for healthier looking skin. Antioxidants fight free radicals, harmful compounds in the body that damage cell membranes and DNA. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (including ultraviolet light, radiation, cigarette smoking, and air pollution) can increase the number of these damaging particles. Free radicals are believed to play a role in aging as well as the development of a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer.

NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) is a powerful anti-oxidant and can help prevent side effects caused by drug reactions and toxic chemicals, and helps break down mucus in the body. It appears to have benefits in treating some respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis and COPD. This is very crucial for the body’s life functions, as NAC helps the body neutralize toxins, heavy metals, such as mercury from dental amalgam fillings, cadmium and lead from paint and cigarette smoke. The Sulfhydryl balance has also been linked to enhance resistance to viral infections. NAC is one of the most effective oral chelating agents.

              
Taken regularly over a period of time, NAC will remove many toxic heavy metals from the body. NAC has been shown to be a protective agent in many diseases and conditions in which free radicals play a role. This includes cancer, AIDS, cirrhosis, as well as pollution damage from smoking or other chemicals.

​ 

The added potent dose of Glycine, from our marine protein, further enhances the anti aging effect of glutathione in the body. Glycine from the marine protein also builds collagen, making the skin look healthier and less wrinkled.

​ 

Hair is composed from protein. L-Cysteine is an amino acid that is known to promote hair growth.              

It improves hair quality and texture, and it is known to double the length of hair. L-Cysteine also prevents hair from falling out, and it has a detoxifying effect in the body. The PESE and Vegetable proteins also provide a very potent dose of Arginine. Arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide and these effect the modulation of the hair cycle.
