All About Standard Process / What are Glandular Products?

Standard Process Glandular Products

The Three Types of Standard Process™ Glandular Products
The three types of glandular products are:
These three, clinical tools are as different as a hammer, a screwdriver and a saw. Success in using glandulars depends on using the correct one for the job at hand. Only Standard Process makes all three.

Protomorphogens™

Protomorphogens™ "Promote healing over time"

Protomorphogens (PGMs) are extracts of the nucleic acids from the nucleus of the cell. The nucleic acids, of course, control the function of the cell. Many doctors use the terms protomorphogens and glandular interchangeably. While not strictly accurate, the protomorphogen is the fundamental type of glandular product, and the principal source of the reputation earned over many decades for clinical results, especially in chronic cases.

The PMGs are used when a gland is under-active or when it is over-active. Suppose your thyroid is under-active, you need Thytrophin PMG. You would also need Thytrophin if your thyroid was overactive due to the presence of a tumor. (Sometimes a gland appears to be overactive when it's just that the antagonistic gland is under-active. This is the tricky thing about endocrinology.)

Three products are actually combinations of PMGs -- Paraplex, Symplex M and Symplex F. The "M" stands for "male," and the "F" for "female." The Paraplex is mainly for diabetics and hypoglycemic. You can see that Paraplex, Symplex F and Symplex M each contain pituitary, thyroid and adrenal extracts. This is where the similarity ends. While Paraplex contains pancreas extract, Symplex F contains ovarian extract and Symplex M, orchic extract.

As people get older, their endocrine glands slow down. So a woman in menopause might do better on Symplex F than she does on straight ovarian extract. Perhaps her thyroid and her adrenals are under-active and need support along with her ovaries. That's why we have these products containing extracts of more than just one gland.

A detailed discussion of the ProtomorphogenTM can be found here.

Made only by Standard Process because only Standard Process has the technology, Dr. Royal Lee invented and produced the ProtomorphogenTM. The protomorphogens are used widely in the well-known Special Formula Products. The Special Formulas are designated by the following pictorial symbol:

Cytosol Extracts

Cytosol Extracts "Provide function -- and relief -- right away"

Cytosols are extracts from the cytoplasm of the cell. In the cytoplasm is found the unique and critical components of the cell. Cytosol extracts are undoubtedly the next most important type of glandular and the principal source of the reputation that glandulars have for really dramatic clinical results, especially in acute cases.

Cytosol extracts are used widely in the Standard Process line, and are critical to the success of many of the best known Standard Process products.

For Example: Zypan contains Pancreas Cytosol Extract, and Ligaplex I and II contain Adrenal Cytosol Extract. Cytosol extracts are only produced Standard Process and for the same reason as protomorphogens™.

Whole Glands

Whole Glands "Provide the nuts and bolts that make up the gland"

Whole glands are the easiest to manufacture and are available from everyone. It is interesting to note that the type of glandular with the narrowest range of uses is the one most widely offered to the doctor. At the same time, in the special case when it is the proper tool only is it really going to produce the result.

The Whole Glandular Products include:
