Biotics Research MCS-2 - 90 Capsules

Biotics Research MCS-2 is a unique formulation combining vitamins, minerals, amino acids, botanical components and other nutritive synergists to support healthy Phase I and Phase II detoxification pathways.  The body is constantly exposed to a wide variety of potentially damaging substances. Many are products of metabolism or naturally occurring toxins in food or synthetic chemicals. Endogenously produced toxic agents (endotoxins) include products of microbial metabolism as well as lipopoly saccharides. Xenobiotics include plasticizers, organic solvents, pesticides and industrial wastes that can contaminate water, food and air, as well as some medications.

M C S - 2 Nutrition Designed to offer constancy to the Liver Detoxification Pathways
The liver is regarded as the major organ controlling metabolic homeostasis. It serves as the body’s main route for “metabolic clearing,” and functions as the body’s primary pathway for detoxification, and subsequent elimination of harmful substances.  Metabolic homeostasis is defined as “the maintenance of a constant supply of substrates, which can be oxidized to provide energy.”

This process, in which the liver plays a vital role, requires both the capability to build up reserves, and the ability to break down these stores during times of need. Since the liver functions at the core of these mechanisms, via its role in both the regulation and control of these actions, it is crucial that optimal liver function be maintained, as the body is constantly exposed to a wide variety of potentially damaging substances, which if left unchecked can result in suboptimal liver function.

Toxic substances, being either endogenously produced molecules arising from metabolism itself or exogenously encountered ones, are processed by the liver on a continual basis, primarily via the mechanisms of the Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes. P450 enzymes are a superfamily of hemoproteins, which catalyze the Phase I biotransformation of various substrates, oxidizing these compounds into forms which are easily eliminated by the body. The reaction catalyzed by these enzymes is displayed by the general reaction

NADPH + H+ + R + O2 ? NADP+ + H2O + RO
where (R = substrate, RO = product)

The enzymes associated with Phase I and Phase II are typically classified into two broad categories; those that are involved in steroid anabolism and those that have a generalized function of removing accumulated waste material from the body, subsequently referred to as steroidogenic or xenobiotic enzymes. In humans the P450 system is a ubiquitous enzyme system that catalyzes oxidative reactions of both steroidogenic and xenobiotic enzymes, whose products are removed almost exclusively by these enzymes. These “waste” compounds consist of both endogenously produced and exogenously encountered ones. Compounds produced endogenously include cholesterol, fat soluble vitamins, sterols, including bile acids, prostaglandins, thromboxane as well as both products of microbial metabolism and bacterial produced lipopolysaccharides, while exogenously encountered substances include chemicals and drugs, naturally occurring toxins or synthetic chemicals in food, food additives, plasticizers, organic solvents, drugs, pesticides, along with industrial waste contaminates.

Both types of components have a potentially negative impact on bodily functions, unless properly dealt with by the liver P450 enzymes. It is for this reason that the liver and also the small intestines contain high concentrations of P450 enzymes. The
highest concentration of human xenobiotic P450s is located in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of the liver cells, the hepatocytes. Other tissues contain these enzymes as well, albeit at significantly lower levels than that of the liver. These tissues include the intestine, lungs, kidneys and brain.

All Bitoics Research Items are Gluten Free!

Currently, it is believed that gluten sensitivity (gluten intolerance) effects almost 700 million people worldwide. Gluten intolerance covers a wide spectrum of conditions, including celiac disease and wheat allergy. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal discomfort, pain, diarrhea, headaches and migraines, lethargy, attention- deficit disorder, muscular disturbances, bone and joint pain, and even schizophrenia.

At Biotics Research, they provide superior nutritional supplements to benefit the patient health. ALL BIOTICS RESEARCH PRODUCTS ARE GLUTEN FREE and they always have been! With Biotics Research, there's no need to search through a catalog for all of the ingredients, or review label after label. You can use any product from Biotics Research without concern because ALL BIOTICS RESEARCH PRODUCTS ARE GLUTEN FREE !

Quality Control - What Sets Biotics Apart

The Biotics Research way!

At Biotics Research Corporation, we manufacture our own branded products on site, in our own state of the art facilities, allowing for complete control of the entire manufacturing process. In our on-site laboratories, the highly skilled members of our Quality Control Unit, utilize modern, sophisticated technologies and validated analytical methods to test incoming raw materials, monitor manufacturing processes, perform in- process testing, and test all finished products prior to their release for shipment. In fact, many aspects of our cGMPs (current Good Manufacturing Practices) exceed the new, recently enacted FDA guidelines for dietary supplements in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our products.
The Quality Control Unit (QCU) has the authority to approve and/or reject all specifications and procedures associated with the production and release of all raw materials, packaging materials and finished products, including test methods and results, instrument calibrations, and processing records. The QCU conducts all internal audits, and validates and audits all raw material and packaging suppliers and service vendors as well.

All incoming raw materials are subject to appropriate testing prior to their release for production. Tests conducted include identity, potency, biological activity, microbiological, including bacteria, yeast and mold (including aflatoxins) and heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead & mercury). Retained samples are maintained of all raw materials and finished products for future testing requirements (raw material stability and finished product expiration date verification).

All bulk finished products (tablets & capsules) are inspected and subjected to metal detection prior to being sampled by QC. They are then subject to appropriate disintegration and/or dissolution testing, and potency testing prior to being released to packaging. All liquid and powder products are tested for potency prior to packaging as well. Finally, microbiological testing is performed on all finished products and document reconciliation is completed prior to being released for shipment.

All testing is performed by our trained QC personnel using state of the art laboratory instrumentation including High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), ICP, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AA), gel electrophoresis, FT -IR, Ultra Violet spectrophotometry, Thin Layer chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC- MS).

Unlike many companies that are struggling to meet the new GMP requirements established by the FDA, companies that are being regulated into implementing quality programs, extensive Quality Control has always been part of the corporate fabric of Biotics Research Corporation.

From day one, the mantra of Biotics Research Corporation has been “Innovation and Quality.” Our goals remain unchanged – utilize innovative ideas and carefully researched concepts with advanced techniques to develop products of superior quality and effectiveness – bringing you “The Best of Science and Nature”.
