Animal Health
Animals are very important members of our world. Whether they be companion animals or working animals, their health and well-being is often of great importance to us.
In our quest to help the animals you care about live long, productive and pain-free lives, Biomedica Laboratories Inc. has developed Recovery-SA™ for small companion animals such as cats and dogs, and the internationally recognized Recovery-EQ™ for larger animals such as horses

Don't let pain stop your horse.
A part of your life
Horses play several roles in our lives - all of them significant in some way. You may run a ranch and own one or more working horses, or you may have a horse that you race or show.
For many people, horses are “family members”, providing many hours of riding pleasure for adults and children alike. Whatever role your horse plays, you no doubt value him/her greatly, and want your horse’s life to be as healthy and pain free as possible.
Horses, just like humans, may suffer from painful conditions due to injury, genetic predisposition, or as the result of aging. These include osteoarthritis, navicular syndrome, lameness and osteochondrosis.

Our Mission
Biomedica Labs is dedicated to researching the breakdown of cell function associated with degenerative diseases and aging. We believe in finding solutions to help improve the health and well being of people and animals.

Recovery‡
Recovery‡ is a functional food with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic effects - for natural relief of chronic inflammation and pain. Since 1999, Recovery‡ has demonstrated significant anti-inflammtory effects and has earned international acclaim as an effective anti-inflammatory food product.
Many clinicians have noted that Recovery‡ has demonstrated significant and safe anti-inflammatory effects for both the treatment and prevention of chronic inflammation and to improve post-trauma rehabilitation. The mainstream drug anti-inflammatory options are corticosteroids and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
Recovery‡ contains Nutricol® - a potent proprietary bioflavonoid complex consisting of EGCG, theaflavin, proanthocyanidins and resveratrol from grape and tea. These anti-catabolic compounds are recognized for their ability to halt tissue damage and inflammation.*
Available in powder (100g/350g sizes) and capsule (180/360 cap sizes) forms: each serving contains 150mg Nutricol®, 1,250mg MSM, 750mg Glucosamine and 200mg DMG (powder form is naturally flavoured).
Suggested use capsules: 5 capsules 2 times a day or as directed by a health practitioner.
Suggested use powder: 1 teaspoon mixed with water or diluted juice 2 times a day or as directed by a health practitioner. (difficult cases may require 3 teaspoons per day)
Suggested initial use powder:
Many people begin at a lower dose (1/4 teaspoon 2 times per day) and slowly work up the dosage over a two week period, as effective dosage varies and may be at the lower end of the spectrum (e.g. 1 teaspoon per day total) and would therefore be more cost effective.
After the initial 60 to 90 day period many Recovery‡ users maintain benefits at a maintenance dose (normally 1/2 the dose used for initial period). After the initial 60 to 90 day period, Recovery‡ does not require daily usage for most people.
* When oxygen is utilized by the body, it produces a highly reactive “exhaust” that is damaging to the cells. The reactive molecules in this exhaust are commonly referred to as “free radicals” or reactive oxygen species (ROS). While some free radicals play a necessary role in the metabolic process, an overabundance of them is believed by many researchers to be a primary cause of cell destruction, inflammation, degenerative disease and aging.
Among the diseases attributed to increased free radical action are heart disease, arthritis,cancers, liver disease, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes, some gastro-intestinal diseases, auto-immune disease and asthma.
The bioactive components of Nutricol® have been shown in numerous studies to curb the production of free radicals in animals and in humans. It is therefore proposed that regular use of Recovery‡ will help reduce the rate of cell damage and associated inflammation attributed to free radical action.
The typical daily cost of Recovery‡ for a consumer is less than the cost of a cup of coffee.

Immune Fx
Immune Fx not only contains a potent blend of extracts from six medicinal mushrooms recognized for their immune-enhancing effects but also a proprietary whole mushroom concentrated mycelia complex to further galvanize the immune response.
Immune Fx also contains Nutricol™- a proprietary blending of plant compounds recognized for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action.
The components of this high quality formulation have been shown in numerous studies to significantly strengthen the immune system. A robust immune system is instrumental in fighting disease and keeping the body in the best health possible.
Complementary immune-enhancing medicinal mushroom therapy is commonly used in conjunction with mainstream medicine in several countries, and as nutritional therapy by many practitioners (including medical doctors) in the United States. Due to the nature of our country’s drug approval process, it is likely to be many years before the components of medical mushrooms are incorporated into our medical system. Until then, these healthy extracts are available as a nutritional supplement—Immune Fx.
Recent research has clearly demonstrated that the combination of extracts found in Immune Fx measurably reduces the adverse effects of radiation and chemotherapy including loss of energy and appetite and accompanying nausea. (These “quality of life” factors are highly significant since loss of appetite and associated malnutrition are a major cause of treatment failure during conventional cancer therapy.) In countries where extracts of medicinal mushrooms are used in mainstream medical therapies, their use extends to treating various cancers. This is because the extracts have been shown to have powerful anti-tumour activity in laboratory, animal and human studies.
By combining these six potent mushrooms with Nutricol™, Immune Fx is formulated to be the most comprehensive formula of its type available today. The use of Immune-Fx should help improve general health and quality of life. Comprehensive research and published studies indicate that this formulation may be of special benefit for cancer patients, however, Biomedica Laboratories Inc. cannot and does not make any claims in this regard. Taking Immune Fx should be a decision based on personal research and understanding of the role medicinal mushrooms play in health and wellbeing.

* Nutricol™ is a purified polyphenolic complex containing epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), proanthocyanidins and resveratrol extracted from Vitis vinifera (grape) and Camellia sinensis (green tea). Nutricol™ constituents have been clinically observed to possess anti-carcinogenic properties in a wide range of organs such as liver, lung, breast, pancreas, bladder, prostate, skin and most of the gastrointestinal system (Fujiki. (1999) J. Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 125:589-97).
The formula is packaged in bottles of 90 – 500 mg capsules for a 30 – 45 day course of therapy.
Each capsule contains 275 mg of proprietary mushroom extract and mycelia combination, 100 mg Nutricol™ and Bromelain (3,600 mcu).
Suggested dosage:
2 - 6 capsules per day or as recommended by your healthcare professional

Provascin® ~ Provascin® contains the potent naturally-occurring antioxidants Nutricol®, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, lutein, NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and bromelain (pineapple enzyme). Nutricol® is a proprietary bioflavonoid complex containing EGCG, theaflavin, proanthocyanidins and resveratrol from grape and green tea.
These antioxidant compounds are recognized for their ability to halt blood vessel damage and inflammation and help to normallize platelet adhesion.
The potent antioxidants in Provascin® prevent the oxidation of lipoproteins - thereby preventing adherance to the arterial walls - and other blood vessel constituents; additionally, coenzyme Q10 and NADH increase the production of cellular energy and greatly benefit the functioning of the heart muscle.
Biomedica believes that up-to-date research indicates that the current practice of lowering serum cholesterol levels and blood pressure has not been proven to be an effective method of treatment to reduce heart disease mortality rates.
Biomedica believes that the primary cause of heart disease is accumulation of damage to the blood vessel lining (endothelium), followed by the development of a blood clot (thrombus) over the damaged area. Repeated endothelial damage and clotting lead to the build up of a ‘layered’ plaque that can eventually rupture, creating a large clot (thrombus) that completely blocks the artery causing a myocardial infarction (heart attack).

To help prevent cardiovascular problems and diabetes-induced tissue damage, we believe Provascin® to do the following:
• help to improve the integrity of the blood vessel wall
• help to regulate serum glucose levels (to prevent glycosylation or glucose-induced damage to blood vessel walls)
• help to reduce factors in the blood that stimulate excessive blood clotting
120 vegetarian capsules, each capsule of Provascin® contains:
• 150mg of Nutricol™
• 50mg alpha-lipoic acid
• 50mg coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
• 25mg bromelain (3,600mcu)
• 5mg lutein
• 4mg NADH
• In a base of ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
Suggested use:
As directed by a health practitioner.
Provascin® is only available through licensed health care professionals.

Joint Fx - Glucosamine and MSM
Joint Fx contains Glucosamine Hydrochloride and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Many studies have indicated that Glucosamine may be helpful in alleviating joint pain. MSM has also been shown in numerous studies to reduce inflammation and pain in the joints. Both these compounds are also believed by many researchers to help rebuild damaged cartilage. Joint Fx also contains DMG, reported to decrease lactic acid levels.

Each capsule contains 250 mg of Glucosamine Hydrochloride, 275 mg of MSM and 50 mg dimethylglycine (DMG).

Suggested use: 6 capsules a day, or as directed by a health practitioner.
90 and 180 capsule size bottles are available.
