Congratulations: If you are reading this material, you have a keen interest in leading a healthy life, and helping your friends do the same.
The human body is a complex mechanism operated with thousands of interdependent biological, chemical and electro-chemical reactions. Efforts to understand these mechanisms are constantly producing new and exciting information to help us "fight" the consequences of aging. At the very least, most people desire a healthy life, regardless of the length.
It is no secret that important hormones for essential bodily and mental functions are secreted and regulated from major organs due to the signals originating within the brain. In a perfect world of exacting diets and nutrition, the brain would get the stimuli from the foods, environment and other sensory inputs, order the appropriate organs to secrete and regulate the hormones, enzymes, and other chemicals required for bodily and mental functions. Unfortunately, this is far from the scenario in the real world. Our modern life puts immense amounts of stress on our brains and bodies and we certainly recognize the effects. The imbalances created by these factors manifest themselves in the form of depression, fatigue, memory loss, etc.
Compounding the effects from stress and physical activity, is our increasing consumption of harmful chemicals either by simply breathing the air around us, or by succumbing to the convenience of preserved foods, mass‐produced meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The impact of the dietary changes are not completely understood, but more and more is being discovered everyday.
Examples can include use of flavor enhancers and artificial sweeteners, which upset the balance of the amino acids responsible for exciting neurons in our brain. While commercially successful, these products have a profound effect on the long term functioning of the brain.
Eating "healthy" has become a trend, but most people do not recognize the caveats usually associated with healthy eating. There are thousands of examples of modern day foods, which do not provide the same nutrition they did in the days gone by. An example is that of farmed fish. You may think you are eating healthy by eating salmon. However, most salmon consumed today is farmed, and is much lower in Omega‐3 oils (among many things, low levels of Omega‐3 are linked to Alzheimer's) than wild salmon. Why? Farmed fish are fed low cost soy and other plant foods to increase their fat content. Salmon is a carnivorous fish in the wild, and the Omega‐3 oils it is famous for are produced not be a vegetarian diet, but by a carnivorous diet. Additionally, farmed fish is typically contaminated with chemicals from the water, such as PCBs. To lower the effect of the chemicals, you must cook it in ways that eliminates what little Omega‐3 oils it did happen to make.
How do we counter the constant attacks on our bodies, especially from our diets and stress? Much has been written about what type of foods to eat, enough to make one paranoid about eating anything at all. Manufacturers are constantly changing names of ingredients, which become infamous. Take for example MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) a flavor enhancer. Due to all the negative publicity from MSG, it is now labeled as "hydrolyzed oat flour", "autolyzed yeast", "hydrolyzed oat flour", "sodium caseinate", etc. All these ingredients pass the scrutiny of an average person having all the intent of eating healthy. It seems the best defense to these attacks, is first, to do your best at eating healthy, and then supplement your diet with something that actually helps regulate the body functions by working in a coherent manner with the brain.
This mini booklet is designed to help introduce you to the phenomenal health benefits of an almost miraculous formulation of amino acids, oligopeptides and growth factors. The explanations and definitions that follow will give you a logical path to actually living a healthier life, even if you are currently extremely conscious about your diet.
What is Laminine? The philosophy and story of the formulation.
Fundamental to any problem solving approach is answering the questions:
1. Has something similar to it been solved successfully before?
2. What are the similarities, and what part of our problem statement may be unique and require additions to the prior solution?
When LifePharm started down the path of providing it's customers a solid, proven nutritional supplement to aid the brain in regulating the 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 that the brain requires? 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.

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.
Dr. Eskeland also hypothesized that partially incubated, fertilized hen eggs contained a special combination of amino acids peptides and protein fractions that could help provide an incredible array of health benefits when consumed by humans. In theory, these partially incubated, fertilized eggs - specifically 9‐day‐old fertilized eggs, contain all the nutrients required to start a new life. This includes vitamins, minerals and proteins, as well as important defense factors, growth factors, hormones and other biologically active components. While not much was known about the growth factor at the time, the high level of oligopeptides (small peptides) gave credence to research we had done on the necessity of rapid transport across the digestive membrane in order to derive effective benefits from amino acids.
We felt this could be the best "base" ingredient for our formulation. 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" so as to say the path. The growth factor is also responsible for nurturing the bodys 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.
Next, we looked at the symptoms caused most by our diets and environment, so we can "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 the booklet.
Having a perfectly balanced, natural, transport mechanism, with a strong "director" we knew that we were assured of the added amino acids will not only find their way to the right spots, but will be guided properly to perform their function efficiently. We then added the amino acids most critical for the health of skin, hair, memory function, cardiovascular health and restoration of energy, from natural plant protein and marine protein.
Thus the symbiotic formulation we proudly call Laminine was born.
