REG’ACTIV® ESSENTIAL ME-3™

The latest addition to our tried and true line of Reg’Activ® formulas is Essential ME-3. ME-3 is a patented strain of the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum that produces glutathione. This contribution to probiotic and cellular health is a huge breakthrough. Like all the Reg’Activ® formulas, Essential ME-3 contains the glutathione-boosting probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3 and remains the only probiotic strain proven to cost-effectively increase glutathione levels. Essential ME-3 releases glutathione directly into the intestines, bypassing the normal digestive breakdown and ensuring the availability of more glutathione to the body.

What is ME-3, and why is it important to you?

Estonian microbiologists at the University of Tartu first discovered the amazing antioxidant potential of ME-3 in 1995. They were testing a range of Lactobacillus bacteria to see which provided the most antioxidant activity. Their tests revealed one clear standout: a strain called Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3, which had come from the intestinal tract of an extremely healthy one-year-old child. The scientists quickly recognized the promise of ME-3’s robust antioxidant activity.

Why is glutathione important?

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant crucial in maintaining cellular health and supporting various bodily functions.

Researchers recognize glutathione as the Master Antioxidant. However, when people take glutathione supplements directly, they’re only minimally effective. That’s because the glutathione degrades during ingestion. It’s much more effective to take Reg’Activ’s® Essential ME-3 and let the process of generating glutathione happen within your body.

Essential Formulas Scientific Director Dr. Ross Pelton explains that Essential ME-3 works as a glutathione activator. It not only boosts production of the antioxidant but helps the body use it more efficiently. “Regular use of Reg’Activ products – especially the Essential ME-3 formula, offers the best option for promoting and preserving healthy glutathione levels in the body,” stated Dr. Pelton.

Glutathione helps with the following:

• Maintain a robust immune system
• Support cardiovascular tissue health
• Promote healthy liver function
• Antioxidant activity
• Detoxification
• Immune system support

While every cell in the human body requires Glutathione, age and dietary limitations can challenge its production. Supplementing with a standard Glutathione supplement can be ineffective, as it may break down during digestion.

Why you need Reg’Activ® Essential ME-3

Essential Formulas Incorporated (EFI) has forged new frontiers in the probiotic and cellular health arena for over 20 years.  Reg’Activ® Essential ME-3 is EFI’s best contribution yet to your digestive health.

“In over 20 years as a practitioner, I believe there may be no better supplement than Reg’Activ Essential ME-3, to elevate and maintain glutathione levels for my patients. I trust the quality and research behind this revolutionary product,” said Peter Morrell, Holistic Practitioner at Tree of Life Wellness Center.

Essential ME-3‘s vegan formula provides 8 billion viable bacteria in an improved prebiotic base derived from Acacia fiber to promote the growth of vital probiotic strains and all-natural, non-GMO rice hulls as a flow agent.

How Does Reg’Active Essential ME-3 Bolster Immunity?

Reg´Activ Essential ME-3 is a superior supplement for bolstering immunity in parents and children as they return to school, primarily due to its unique formulation, which includes the probiotic strain Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3. This strain has been extensively studied for over 20 years and is known for its ability to produce glutathione. This powerful antioxidant is critical in detoxifying and maintaining a healthy immune system.

Reg´Activ Essential ME-3 plays a vital role in maintaining healthy immune cells by naturally boosting glutathione levels. This is particularly significant during the school season when children are exposed to various pathogens. In addition to ME-3, Reg´Activ Immune & Vitality contains Lactobacillus brevis KP08, another probiotic strain supporting average interferon production and further enhancing immune response.

Combining these two probiotics creates a synergistic effect that strengthens the immune system more effectively than either strain alone. Moreover, Reg´Activ Immune & Vitality is fortified with essential vitamins and nutrients crucial for immune health. It includes Vitamin C, well-known for its immune-boosting properties, and a range of B vitamins that support energy metabolism and overall vitality. Including L-carnitine tartrate also helps maintain healthy energy levels, which can be particularly beneficial for children who need to stay active and alert throughout the school day.

Reg´Activ Immune & Vitality is a comprehensive supplement that supports overall health and energy levels with its additional nutrient content. This makes it ideal for parents looking to boost their children’s immunity. Reg´Activ Essential ME-3 and Reg´Activ Immune & Vitality help build immunity primarily through their ability to produce and support glutathione levels in the body. Here’s how it works:

1. Glutathione Production: Reg´Activ formulas contain Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3, a probiotic strain studied for over 20 years and proven to produce glutathione. Glutathione is known as the body’s “Master Antioxidant” and is used by every cell in the human body.
2. Immune System Support: Glutathione is vital for immune health. Immune system cells constantly rely on healthy glutathione levels for basic cellular upkeep and to interact with normal oxidative processes.
3. Three Pathways of Glutathione Support: ME-3 supports glutathione levels through three mechanisms:
   • It synthesizes glutathione itself
   • It extracts available glutathione molecules from its surrounding environment
   • It recycles oxidized glutathione (GSSG) back into its active state (GSH)
4. Antioxidant Activity: The glutathione produced by ME-3 provides powerful antioxidant support, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system.
5. Detoxification Support: Glutathione plays a crucial role in detoxification processes, which can indirectly support immune function by reducing the body’s toxic load.
6. Efficient Delivery: Reg´Activ Essential ME-3 and Immune & Vitality address the challenge of poor glutathione absorption from oral supplements by providing living probiotic bacteria that produce glutathione directly in the intestines.
7. Prebiotic Support: The formula includes a prebiotic base, promoting beneficial probiotic strains’ growth.
8. Vegan and Natural Formulation: The product is vegan-friendly and uses natural ingredients, avoiding common allergens and artificial additives that might negatively impact immune function.

Reg´Activ Essential ME-3 and Reg´Activ Immune & Vitality help fortify the immune system’s natural defenses and support overall immune health by supporting glutathione production and maintaining its levels in the body. The unique probiotic approach to glutathione supplementation makes it a potentially more practical and effective option than traditional oral glutathione supplements.

The Ingenious Solution: Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3

This is where the patented probiotic strain Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3 comes into play. When ingested, this unique strain produces Glutathione naturally within the body, ensuring optimal levels of this vital antioxidant. ME-3 works as a glutathione-activating agent through three different mechanisms, making it a game-changer in preventative and restorative health.

Mechanisms of Action

Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3 enhances glutathione levels through three distinct mechanisms:

1. Direct production of Glutathione
2. Extracts available Glutathione molecules from the surrounding environment
3. Recycles ‘spent’ (reduced) Glutathione back into its active state.
