The Most Effective Supplements

Effective Supplements

The most effective supplements I have ever used in clinical practice – over 21 years of practice.

The key with each patient is to identify what intervention is necessary in order to achieve their goals.

This requires dietary changes.

This almost always requires a period of time taking nutritional supplements.


In my professional opinion,

without the ability to use effective nutritional supplements patients would not have been able to achieve the improvements they have.

These vital tools of the trade have been invaluable to patients’ favourable outcomes.


After 21 years of careful study and use in over 13,000 patients, I am still learning how to use supplements in the most effective manner.

Often, it is a sophisticated thing to know what supplements to use, but what is key is that the supplement in question does what it does.


With the knowledge of over 650 specific supplements, and having used literally hundreds of those, here is a list of the most effective supplements (20) that I have used in clinical practice.

Intenzyme Forte (BRC)


Intenzyme Forte is a source of animal & plant enzymes. This makes it suitable for supporting the digestion of the wide range of foods that require different pH within the GI tract. Its main benefits are for the digestive system when taken with food & it can be taken towards the end of a meal, or indeed after a meal.

Other Uses

Intenzyme Forte provides trypsin, chymotrypsin & bromelain which are effective for reducing systemic inflammation, tissue damage, arthritis, food sensitivity, & poor circulation due to inflammation or atherosclerosis. Intenzyme Forte may also be effective for phlebitis & free radical conditions.


Suggested dosing with an acute injury is ten tablets immediately, then take five tablets, four times a day on an empty stomach for three days.

After three days reduce the dosage to four tablets, three times a day on an empty stomach until the inflammation & swelling abates.

With chronic inflammation or inflammatory arthritis, use three or four tablets, three times a day on an empty stomach.


Each tablet provides:

Pancreatin 4 X – 100 mg (four times as concentrated)

Amylase – 10 mg

Bromelain – 50 mg

Trypsin & Alpha Chymotrypsin (porcine) - 100 mg

Papain – 50 mg

SOD (veg culture) – 10 mcg

Lipase (porcine) – 10 mg

Catalase (veg culture) – 10 mcg

A.D.P. (BRC)

A.D.P. (BRC)

A.D.P. ® provides 50 mg of carvacrol, the active oregano extract, per tablet. It has been patented for being able to eradicate Blastocystis Hominis. This oregano extract is both fully emulsified and also sustained release.

Oregano oil extract has a wide-ranging effect vs many unwelcome bacteria, parasites and yeasts. The delivery method improves the efficacy of this product over other oregano oil products, sometimes substantially.

It is the single most effective anti-microbial supplement used in clinical practice at The Nutrition Clinic Ltd.

A.D.P. (BRC)

Dosing varies according to need, but the dose vs B. Hominis is 5 with each meal for a week, then 4 with each meal for 5 weeks. (There is no guarantee that this will be effective). For GI bacterial infections the dose is 2-3 with each meal, and for yeast conditions 2 with each meal.

Humic Acid (ARG)

Humic Acid (BRC)

Humic acids are the organic components of soil, peats, brown coals, shales, and lake sediments, formed from decomposed plant material.

Do view this interview with Dr Richard Laub on the subject of humic acid - http://tinyurl.com/bqsube9.

Do view this article about the potential benefits of humic acid - http://tinyurl.com/nqwskzt.

Humic Acid (BRC)

In clinical practice, Humic Acid has been found to be a very effective supplement to inhibit viruses in particular, but can also inhibit a range of other microbes.

Humic Acid is also useful to help bind to toxins in the GI tract and facilitate their transport out of the body. It effectively helps to neutralise toxins and then carry them out of the body.

Humic Acid (BRC)

Humic acid contains a wide range of essential minerals, and it can increase cell wall permeability, facilitating transport of minerals to the cells. Humic acid has antioxidant activity, and supports a general sense of well-being.

Dosing is usually 1 with each meal, and sometimes more than this. For children the dose is reduced according to body weight, and the capsules can be pulled apart for administering less than a capsule at a time. It is suitable for babies and children.

Saccharomyces Boulardii (ARG)


S. Boulardii is a beneficial, probiotic yeast, well researched & documented to support gut immunity, & in particular Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA), which can be tested for in saliva.

This strain does not grow in the gut & is a non-colonising yeast. It aggressively displaces problematic yeast species in the gut.

It has long been used in Europe as an anti-diarrhoea agent.


Over 240 human studies confirm the benefits of S. Boulardii.

S.B. also inhibits a bacterium called Clostridia Difficile which is commonly found in conditions such as Austistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but may also be a factor in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases such as Crohn’s.


S.B. produces lactic acid & some B vitamins as it becomes established in the gut. It is eliminated in 3 days once supplementation is stopped.

In stool analysis it maybe identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae – which is baker’s yeast – since the labs are unable to make the distinction between species.


In clinical practice, S.B. is suitable for those with weakened mucosal and gut immunity & those with dysbiosis.

Typical dosing is 1 with two or three meals a day. In children, doses can be titrated from a tiny amount upwards.

If an individual has IgE or IgG yeast allergy then this product should not be taken.

Lactobacillus GG (ARG)


This probiotic is the world’s most well documented friendly bacteria, with at least 210 papers relating to its health benefits.

Lactobacillus GG is an extensively studied lactose & dairy free strain of friendly intestinal bacteria, naturally occurring in the digestive tract.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG is a subspecies of Lactobacillus casei. It was discovered & patented by researchers Drs. Gorbach & Goldin at Tufts University.


LGG is a member of the L. acidophilus family of friendly probiotic bacteria. To date it is the best-studied & most extensively documented probiotic lactic acid bacteria strain in the world, containing 30 billion viable organisms per capsule.

Lacto GG adheres well to the intestinal lining, helping to oust unwelcome microbes including candida & unwanted bacteria. It supports SIgA levels, & works in synergy with S. Boulardii.


Lacto GG helps to reduce incidence in children’s allergy conditions such as eczema & asthma when taken by breast-feeding mothers.

It is safe to take during pregnancy. Lacto GG is the only probiotic proven to maintain viability outside of the fridge for one year.

Consider if low levels of lactobacillus in a stool test, or if there is a need to restore friendly bacteria. It is ideal for post-antibiotic use.

FibroBoost (ARG)

FibroBoost (ARG)

FibroBoost™ (ARG) contains extract of Ecklonia Cava which is a potent effective antioxidant known as Seanol-F which is both water and fat soluble.

Seanol-F contains phlorotannins, polyphenolic compounds not found in terrestrial plants but only in certain brown algal species.

Phlorotannin-rich extracts of E. cava show significant antioxidant activities, including DPPH radical scavenging, ferric ion reduction, peroxynitrite scavenging, and inhibition of LDL oxidation.

FibroBoost (ARG)

As well as modulating levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), phlorotannins may modulate levels of PGE2, cytokines and prostaglandins. Seanol-F supports normal function of the nervous system, and metabolism.

It can increase alpha wave production, an indication of increased relaxation. Human studies also show that it can promote daytime wakefulness, likely due to increased blood flow and oxygenation.

Subjects given Seanol-F fell asleep faster, slept longer and reported increased soundness of sleep. They felt it increased their energy levels and improved their general condition.

FibroBoost (ARG)

Unlike polyphenols derived from land plants, Seanol’s polyphenols are 40% oil-soluble. They can pass the blood-brain barrier, & they have a much longer metabolic half-life than that of the usual hydrophilic polyphenols: up to 12 hours vs. typically 30 minutes.

Studied since 1992, in-vitro studies, animal studies, and human trials have consistently shown that Seanol compounds have health promoting promise with no evidence of toxicity.

In human studies, FibroBoost™ has been shown to reduce muscle pain in those with fibromyalgia, and to improve their sleep.

FibroBoost (ARG)

In clinical practice, at The Nutrition Clinic Ltd., it has been the most effective supplement in achieving improvements in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and FM.

BioDoph-7 Plus (BRC)


This product has been formulated by Dr. Gary Lasneski, BioDoph-7 Plus® contains a specific blend of 3 prebiotics and 7 probiotics to ensure optimal colonisation with bacterial strains recognised for their bioactivity.


BioDoph-7 Plus® provides a mix of 400 mg of these 7 strains of probiotics (in a veggie cap), with inulin (from chicory root) and Arabinogalactan (from Larch) and Marshmallow root (extract): Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, & Streptococcus thermophilus.


These probiotics provide anti-inflammatory support in the GI tract, which has importance clinically with the majority of digestive complaints, & supports GI integrity too.

It is one of the three probiotics used with week in and week out success in terms of patient outcomes at The Nutrition Clinic Ltd.

This product can be used individually and then in rotation with other probiotic supplements or simultaneously alongside other probiotics.

Lactobacillus Plantarum, Rhamnosus, Salivarius (ARG)

Lactobacillus Plantarum, Rhamnosus, Salivarius (ARG)

Provides particularly hardy strains of lactobacilli & helps maintain a healthy intestinal probiotic balance.

The strains support the structure and functional integrity of the epithelial lining in numerous ways & may boost immune response and support resistance.

The salivarius strain has an affinity for the stomach, and offers support for stomach conditions including H. pylori infections, but the L. Plantarum, Rhamnosus, Salivarius also favour the distal portion of the small intestine.

Stabilium (ARG)

Stabilium (ARG)

An ancient Gallic natural biological remedy derived from a deep sea fish called Garum Armoricum. It is extremely well tolerated & is for the most part without contraindications, nor is there any sign of habituation.

Suitable for children & adults alike. It contains an extract of the visceral tissue of the fish, not from the liver or other organs.

Stabilium (ARG)

Garum was used as food for humans in the remote period of early Celtic civilisation. It is reported that the product conferred improved physical & mental resilience to those who took it which include Roman soldiers.

Some 2,000 years later, 20th Century studies & clinical experience have identified a breadth of benefits as detailed below which have been achieved in just 15 days on 4 capsules per day.

Stabilium (ARG)

In clinical practice, Stabilium 200® has been shown to reduce fatigue, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, poor appetite, lack of strength & stamina, poor memory, debility.

This natural supplement may also improve tolerance to stress. The elderly may benefit more from a more frequent intake than younger people.

Stabilium (ARG)

Tolerance

Tolerance of Stabilium 200® proved excellent in the studies & in clinical practice. In 60 patients there were only 3 mild symptoms which did not necessitate interruption of the treatment.

Stabilium (ARG)

Longevity of Benefits

The beneficial effects appear to be maintained for at least 15 days after treatment in the clinical studies.

In our clinical experience, those who take Stabilium 200® for a month may extend the benefits for at least another month. In this way, Stabilium 200® is a supplement which does not need to be taken every day on an ongoing basis.

Stabilium (ARG)

There are three groups of ingredients within Stabilium 200®:

A) amino acids which are similar to or precursors to substances which act within the central nervous system as messengers & endorphins. These assist in balancing neurotransmitter activity.

Stabilium (ARG)

B) Also contained are omega 3 & omega 6 fatty acids (polyunsaturated fats) which are precursors to prostaglandins & prostacyclins which are chemical mediators of the cells which regulate the main biological functions of the body. These are found in small amounts that are not likely to cause any disruption of fatty acid balance in the body.

C) Stabilium 200® contains an antioxidant complex of Vitamin E & Selenium. These protect the polyunsaturated fats against oxidation, ensure stability & increase biological efficacy, as well as protect cells against free radical damage.

Stabilium (ARG)

Dosage Week 1: 4 capsules first thing in the morning at least half an hour before

breakfast. Please do not take your capsules with tea, coffee or other caffeine drinks. Week 2: As per week 1 Week 3: 2 capsules first thing in the morning at least half an hour before

breakfast. Week 4: 2 capsules first thing in the morning at least half an hour before

breakfast.

In order to follow the above programme, 3 packs of Stabilium 200® are required. Whilst dosages can be altered to suit individual needs we recommend that for the first intake that the above be followed. For some people who undergo a rigorous lifestyle with continual pressure, there are no contraindications for continued use at 4 per day if this produces the greatest benefits.

Adrenal Rebuilder (Dr W)


This is the favoured adrenal support product from Dr James Wilson, author of ‘Adrenal Fatigue – 21st Century Syndrome’.

Adrenal Rebuilder® provides glandular extracts of the adrenal, hypothalamus, pituitary and gonad concentrates in the proportions that provide the greatest support for those experiencing stress and adrenal fatigue.

With the high incidence of stress related fatigue, this product is a mainstay of Nutritional Therapists’ practices.


With the high incidence of stress related fatigue, this product is a mainstay of Nutritional Therapists’ practices.

The glandulars have been processed so that they do not contain any hormones.

A typical dose is 2 with breakfast, 2 with lunch and 1-2 with dinner

Zen (ARG)

Zen (ARG)

200mg of Zen contains GABA & L-Theanine, both of which are amino acids that are naturally occurring. L-theanine is found in Green Tea (& may offset its caffeine content).

Both these amino acids have been found to have a calming effect in the brain – by supporting calming neurotransmitter levels.

The product originates from trials in Japan, which helps to explain the name.

Zen (ARG)

It is a non-addictive, non-accumulative, non-sedative, chill pill. Helps keep mental alertness & focus. Typically, the more one uses, the less one needs.

In clinical practice, it has been found to help with stress, anxiety, depression, a sense of being overwhelmed, poor decision making, insomnia due to restless mind, general restlessness, feeling of tired but wired, irritability, nervousness, phobia (e.g. fear of driving tests or flying), & has a good record of helping with panic attacks.

Zen (ARG)

Patients naturally re-order the product, helping to confirm its efficacy. If sleep is interrupted by an over-active mind, then 200 mg of Zen could also help this type of insomnia (although it is not a sedative).

It can also work in animals, & we have reports that dogs & horses have benefited from Zen.

Zen (ARG)

A typical dose may be 1 capsule on an empty stomach (although it still has benefits when taken with food) once or twice a day. Its effects are felt in about 30-45 minutes, & the effects last for about 4-5 hours.

Up to 3 caps per day could be taken but this is usually not needed. The product can also simply be taken as needed.

There is only one class of medication with which 200 mg Zen may interact (see below) & is fine when taken with anti-depressants called SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) such as Prozac.

Arthred (ARG)

Arthred (ARG)

Arthred Powder (ARG) is a pre-digested collagen powder that supports the connective tissue in the body. Arthred Powder (ARG) also helps to support the integrity of the gut lining.

It helps to reduce systemic inflammation and specifically has been found in clinical trials to reduce pain in small joint arthritis and to enable a reduction in anti-pain medication.

Arthred (ARG)

It is well tolerated, and mixes easily into water; add to water and stir and then leave for a minute and then stir again. It totally dissolves in the water. It could also be added to yogurt or porridge.

Dosing usually involves taking 1 scoop of Arthred Powder (ARG) (scoop provided in the tub) before one to three meals. Acute needs may warrant three scoops per day, whereas chronic issues may suffice with one scoop per day.

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte (BRC)

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte (BRC)

This is a liquid, fully emulsified form of vitamin D3. It has been proven to raise blood levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D research over the past decade has highlighted the many different aspects of health in which it is directly involved, not just bone health.

Immune function and hormonal balance and control of systemic inflammation are some of the benefits of optimal levels of vitamin D.

Vitamin D tests are best in order to identify the optimal individual dose, but typically, 1-2 drops per day, providing 2,000-4,000 iu, are suggested.

NutriClear (BRC)

NutriClear (BRC)

NutriClear® Powder (BRC) is a unique product that supplies key nutrients for hepatic function, energy production, and intestinal balance. The formula includes easily digested hypoallergenic protein, medium chain triglycerides and an extensive complement of antioxidants.

NutriClear (BRC)

Amino Sport (BRC)

This encapsulated protein supplement provides whey protein plus additional amino acids. It provides the essential and non-essential amino acids which perform multiple functions in the body – in fact they are essential for every chemical reaction in the body.

Amino Sport™ has been found in clinical practice to not only support lean muscle mass for those engaged in physical training, but also to support hepatic conjugation pathways.

Amino Sport (BRC)

This includes a marked cessation of unpleasant body odour as a result of compromised hepatic detox pathways.

Amino Sport™ has also shown strong support for stamina through improved gluconeogenesis, it was presumed, in endurance athletes. It has been found to be more effective than whey protein in this role.

Amino Sport (BRC)

Dosing is usually 4 capsules twice daily before or with breakfast & dinner, or before and after training.

For those athletes who exercise more vigorously, 4 caps could be taken four times a day.

Whey Protein Isolate (BRC)
