Four Decades of Trust & Expertise
As I reflect on the 40th anniversary of our company, I am filled with gratitude for how far we’ve come—and deep excitement for where we’re headed. When we opened our doors in Vancouver back in 1986, our mission was simple: to bring high-quality health and wellness products to the Canadian marketplace with integrity, care, and an unwavering commitment to our partners. What started as a small, passionate operation has grown into a trusted national distributor, supported by a remarkable team and an extraordinary network of brands and retailers across the country.
This milestone isn’t just a celebration of time—it’s a celebration of the relationships, innovation, and shared purpose that have shaped us. It reflects the hard work of everyone who has contributed to our journey and the customers who continue to place their trust in us.
Throughout 2026, we’ll be hosting a series of special events and initiatives to honour this anniversary year—opportunities to connect, give back, and celebrate the vibrant health and wellness community that has supported us for four decades. Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to the next chapter—and to building a healthier future together.

Empowering Healthy Aging Through Science-Driven Innovation
Integra Nutrition – Longevity Sciences is dedicated to advancing the science of healthy aging. Its mission is to address the root mechanisms of aging—DNA integrity, telomere length, epigenetic regulation, mitochondrial vitality, and cellular resilience. The company develops and markets formulations that target specific pathways to restore energy, improve cognitive performance, and promote long-term wellness.
Built on more than two decades of expertise in the natural health industry, we combine scientific rigor with practitioner insight. Guided by a medical advisory board and collaborations with leading researchers, every product is evidence-based, clinically practical, and manufactured to strict Health Canada standards. The company is recognized for creating practitionerfocused formulas that deliver measurable benefits and support healthspan extension worldwide.
The product portfolio is anchored by three core innovations:
GenZogenol-R serves as the foundation of Integra’s healthy aging protocols. It combines Enzogenol®, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Green Tea extract, Pterostilbene, Astaxanthin, and Lecithin in a powerful blend designed to protect DNA, maintain telomere length, and mimic the effects of caloric restriction. Demonstrated benefits include reduced oxidative stress, improved vascular and cognitive health, and preservation of youthful cellular function.
GENSERA (formerly named Pricera) represents a new generation of NAD+ support. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is essential for mitochondrial energy, DNA repair, and antiinflammatory signaling, yet levels decline steadily with age. GENSERA’s formulation of D-Ribose, Niacinamide, and a lipid carrier uniquely fuels the NAD+ salvage pathway while preserving ATP and glutathione. Compared to NMN or NR, GENSERA offers a more efficient and cost-effective solution, supporting immunity, mitochondrial vitality, and neurological health.
GenSoma addresses age-related decline in brain performance, muscle maintenance, and growth hormone activity. At its core is Alpha GPC, a clinically recognized nootropic, supported by amino acids including Arginine, Lysine, Ornithine, and the branched-chain amino acids. This synergistic combination stimulates growth hormone release, enhances cognition, elevates mood and energy, and preserves muscle health—factors vital to aging well.
Together, these formulations can be used individually or in combination for amplified effects. They reflect our company’s commitment to offering products that not only improve patient outcomes but also give healthcare practitioners reliable tools for managing aging and age-related decline.
At Integra Nutrition – Longevity Sciences, the vision is clear: to empower people worldwide to live longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives through science-driven, practitioner-ready innovations.

Acne and the gut-skin axis
Acne is one of the most common dermatological concerns, affecting up to 80% of adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 30 While often perceived as a cosmetic issue, acne can significantly impact self-esteem, mental wellbeing, and quality of life. For healthcare professionals, understanding the underlying biological drivers of acne, including emerging research on the gut-skin axis, can support informed discussions with patients seeking ways to improve their skin health 2
The Role of Inflammation in Acne Development Historically, acne was attributed to an overgrowth of Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes), a naturally occurring microorganism on the skin. This led to the widespread use of antibiotics as a first-line treatment 3
However, research now shows that C. acnes is also an important part of the skin’s microbiota, helping maintain a healthy pH and protecting against more harmful pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus. Problems arise when skin inflammation creates conditions that allow C. acnes to thrive excessively. Inflammation increases oil gland activity, which can block hair follicles and provide an ideal environment for bacterial growth. This triggers an immune response which paradoxically drives further inflammation, resulting in acne lesions such as pimples, papules, and pustules. 4
Factors That Influence Skin Inflammation
Several physiological and environmental factors can contribute to increased oil production and skin inflammation, including hormonal changes, insulin resistance, and stress. 5 More recently, research has highlighted a potential connection between gut health and skin health via the gut-skin axis and how gut microbiome imbalances may also contribute to skin inflammation. 4
The Gut-Skin Axis: A Two-Way Connection
The health of the gut microbiota is thought to influence skin health and the development of acne through its effects on the immune system and the levels of inflammation it is programmed to create.
A healthy gut microbiome can reduce inflammation produced by immune cells in the gut, with these effects transferred to the immune cells in the skin as they travel from site to site via circulation. This can reduce the level of inflammation produced by the skin, and help to reduce processes that support the growth of C. acnes such as excessive oil secretion.
The gut microbiome also interacts with the skin microbiota through the production of metabolites which enter circulation and accumulate in the skin, some of which have antibacterial properties that may help keep the levels of key microorganisms under control, including C. acnes.
Studies on the gut microbiome of people with acne have also demonstrated low microbial diversity and unfavourable compositions, and these differences may be contributing to inflammatory immune responses in the gut and the skin, worsening the symptoms of acne. 4
Integrating the Science into Clinical Conversations
The connection between the gut and skin highlights an exciting area of ongoing research. As evidence continues to grow, understanding how gut microbiome balance may influence immune function and skin health could open new avenues for supporting patients affected by acne.
Magnesium + D3 & K2 Done Right
Brad King, MS, MFS
When it comes to supplements, details matter. Two nutrients that almost everyone could use more of are magnesium and vitamin D3, but not all formulas are created equal. Let’s look at what sets Real Magnesium and Real D3 & K2 apart from the crowd.
Real Magnesium – Full-Spectrum Support Without Oxide
A little-known truth in the supplement world is that most magnesium products are “buffered” with magnesium oxide. This cheap filler makes the label look impressive by boosting the elemental magnesium number, but it delivers almost no real benefit. Why? Because magnesium oxide is one of the least absorbable forms, with only about 4% bioavailability, and it often causes stomach upset instead of support. Despite this, more than 90% of formulas rely on it to cut costs, leaving consumers with discomfort rather than results .
Real Magnesium takes a different approach. It’s 100% non-buffered and oxide-free, delivering 250 mg of pure, elemental magnesium in every scoop of powder or three veggie capsules. Instead of just one type, it combines four synergistic and highly absorbable forms:
• Magnesium Bisglycinate – gentle on digestion and commonly used to promote relaxation and better sleep
• Magnesium L-Threonate – clinically studied for its ability to raise brain magnesium levels and support memory and cognitive function
• Magnesium Taurate – supports cardiovascular health and regulates muscle function .
• Magnesium Citrate – helps with energy and regularity . By blending these forms, Real Magnesium delivers broader, more targeted benefits that positively affect your brain, muscles, bones, sleep, and overall wellness in a way a single form simply can’t.
Real D3 & K2 – Plant-Based, Pure, and Proven Vitamin D₃ is essential for immune function, bone health, and mood regulation, but almost all supplements source it from lanolin derived from sheep’s wool Real D3 takes a cleaner path: it’s made from pine tree sterols, a sustainable, plant-based source that’s free from pesticides, sheep dips, and animal products . Each soft capsule delivers 1000 IU of cholecalciferol, certified vegan, and proven to remain stable longer than typical D3.
As most health experts are now aware, D3 works best with K2. That’s why Real D3 pairs it with Pharmaquinone® all-trans MK-7, the purest form of vitamin K2 available. Each capsule provides 120 µg of long-acting MK-7, validated as “single-peak” for 100% purity and stability until expiry . K2 ensures calcium goes where it belongs— into your bones and teeth—while keeping arteries clear.
The Bottom Line
Real Magnesium and Real D3 & K2 bring together clinical insight, clean sourcing, and unmatched purity. Together, they provide daily support for strong bones, a clear mind, healthy muscles, restorative sleep, and resilient immunity, in a 100% plant-based formula that helps you feel your best, naturally.

Harnessing Nature’s Power for a Modern Cleanse
In our modern world, the accumulation of environmental toxins, heavy metals, and free radicals is an unavoidable reality. From the food we eat to the air we breathe, our bodies are constantly processing a burden of harmful substances that can impair our health, sap our energy, and contribute to chronic conditions. In response, a growing number of people are turning to targeted detoxification, and at the forefront of this movement is ZeoDetox, a powerful supplement line built on the ancient, yet scientifically relevant, mineral known as zeolite.
At its core, ZeoDetox leverages the unique properties of purified Zeolite/Clinoptilolite. This natural mineral acts like a microscopic sieve with a negative charge, selectively attracting and trapping positively charged toxins such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and even radioactive elements. Its crystalline structure remains stable as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring it effectively binds these harmful substances without being broken down or absorbed by the body. Within 12 hours, both the zeolite and its captured “trash” are safely and naturally eliminated.
What sets the ZeoDetox range apart is its tailored formulations for different health needs. ZeoDetox Liquid offers a rapid and selective cleanse, ideal for daily maintenance. For a more comprehensive approach, ZeoDetox Diatomite combines zeolite with diatomaceous earth to target a broader spectrum of toxins, including larger biological molecules. Other innovative blends incorporate powerful superfoods: ZeoDetox Chaga merges detoxification with the immune-boosting and antioxidant properties of Chaga mushroom, while ZeoDetox Kelp supports thyroid function and provides a rich array of essential vitamins and minerals.
Beyond simple toxin removal, the ZeoDetox line is designed to support overall wellness. Through a process of ionic exchange, the supplements can release beneficial minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium back into the body. This promotes cellular protection, enhances energy levels, and supports vital biological functions.
In essence, ZeoDetox offers a sophisticated, natural solution for internal cleansing. By combining the proven detoxifying power of zeolite with other synergistic ingredients, it provides a practical and effective strategy for reclaiming your vitality and supporting your body’s innate ability to heal and thrive in a toxic world.

Mrs. Illmer – You have worked with the PEKANA detoxification for many years. Why do you prefer to recommend this detoxification in particular to your patients?
The PEKANA detoxification has been one of my fixed treatment concepts for many years. First, I like to recommend detoxification in the spring and fall as prophylactic measure to increase physical well-being. Second, I begin almost every treatment of patients with a chronic disease with a detoxification in order to prepare the body f or the actual treatment. The PEKANA detoxification gently stimulates the organs involved in detoxification without intervening in the systems too strongly. The wide range of application options and gentle support of the PEKANA detoxification have inspired me from the very beginning.
How do your patients describe the regimen and how they feel during and after the detoxification?
My patients particularly appreciate the uncomplicated option of taking the PEKANA detoxification when they are away from home. The product enables them to integrate a detoxification into their everyday work routine without feeling that their behavior is restricted. They describe both their physical and mental condition as positive during the course of the treatment. Patients quickly recognize the increase in diuresis that occurs as a normal side effect of the detoxification. The patients quickly feel better and report that their fatigue and problems with concentration have decreased. These positive effects typically occur after only a few days and continue to develop as the detoxification progresses until at the end, they feel fortified.
Why is the PEKANA detoxification particularly suitable for sensitive users?
With this detoxification, it is possible to adjust the dosage to the individual needs of each patient. For example, a gentle introduction with half of the daily dosage is possible for sensitive patients. Depending on patient tolerance, the attending physician or therapist can adjust the dosage at any time. Despite the low dosage, it is possible to achieve a comprehensive effect. As an attending physician, I appreciate the flexibility very much – and so do the affected patients.
Are there situations in which treatment with a homeopathic spagyric detoxification has proven to be particularly effective?
The increasing level of stress that we are exposed to today can lead to faulty regulation and a detoxification treatment can help to put the body’s systems back on track. I can also recommend doing a detoxification for maintaining health and increasing a general sense of well-being. After all, you can do something good for your body with a detoxification in both cases.
Your Complete Immune Support
A daily blend of 9 full-spectrum, organic, Canadian-made mushrooms crafted to fuel your gut, sharpen your mind, and strengthen immune defense from the inside out.
IMMUNE INTELLIGENCE
A Smarter Way to
Support Immunity
VImmunity isn’t just defence, it’s discernment. In a world shaped by chronic stress, gut permeability, metabolic disruption, and immune confusion, we’re seeing a shift in how practitioners and consumers understand immune health. It’s not about “boosting” anymore, it’s about modulating, adapting, and building immune intelligence.
The immune system is deeply interconnected with the gut, brain, and endocrine systems. Emerging science suggests that immune function is shaped by dynamic feedback between the microbiome, mucosal immune system, and neurochemical signaling; an integrated network now recognized as the brain–gut–microbiome axis.1 When gut–microbiome communication is disrupted, mucosal integrity falters and immune feedback mechanisms break down, often resulting in chronic inflammation, hypersensitivity, autoimmune responses, or impaired recovery. 2
This is where medicinal mushrooms shine.
Used for centuries and now supported by growing clinical research, medicinal mushrooms provide a unique constellation of benefits that support immunity on multiple levels. Mushrooms like Reishi, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Maitake, and Lion’s Mane are rich in beta-glucans and other immunomodulatory polysaccharides that influence both innate and adaptive immune cells including macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, and T-lymphocytes. 3-5
Beyond beta-glucans, mushrooms also supply polyphenols, prebiotic fibers, ergothioneine, and gut-supportive compounds that nourish the microbiome and protect mucosal integrity.6-7 They are one of the few natural interventions capable of enhancing immune surveillance while simultaneously reducing inappropriate inflammation. 8 Recent evidence suggests that mushroomderived polysaccharides and antioxidants may influence neuroimmune pathways through their effects on gut microbiota and mucosal immunity. 9
Provita’s Immune 9 Complex is a full-spectrum mushroom formula delivering 2,500 mg of organically grown, Canadian-cultivated mushrooms from nine synergistic species—including Reishi, Chaga, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, and more. Sourced from Myzel Organics, these mushrooms are grown on a fermented, organic sorghum medium in a net-zero, beyond-GMP facility in Niagara Falls. The result is a clean, potent, and micronized powder tested for key actives like beta-glucans and polyphenols.
Whether supporting seasonal resilience, chronic immune modulation, or gut-brain-immune repair, Immune 9 represents a next-generation approach to immune health. Because true resilience doesn’t require brute force, but rather intelligent regulation.
