Bio Concepts

Bio Concepts At Bio Concepts, quality independent and cutting-edge education has underpinned every facet of the business since its’ inception over 40 years ago.

Our mission to reduce the burden of chronic disease and create a healthier future. Bio Concepts was founded in 1984 by Nutritional Biochemist and author Henry Osiecki. Henry has published a number of text books on nutrition including The Nutrient Bible and his more recent text book, Cancer: The Importance of Clinical Nutrition. He also spent time as a research scientist and published a number of scientific papers in peer reviewed journals. Henry has been an integral part of the development and success of this company, helping Bio Concepts to be the first to bring a number of key nutrients into the Australian market such as CoQ10, Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L- Carnitine. He was also the first to introduce glucosamine into Australia and promote this as the anti-arthritic formulae in the early 1990’s. He has played a pivotal role in changing the pharmaceutical model of formulations into a nutritional model and is the founder of the concept of synergistic formulations in an era where only orthomolecular high dose nutrients were available. Bio Concepts provide interactive learning to naturopaths, clinical nutritionists and mental health clinicians, as well as providing synergistic nutritional formulations for patient care. Through our educational Seminars, Workshops and Symposiums, along with our web-based educational activities and online resources, Bio Concepts’ education simplifies complex concepts to enhance clinicians understanding on a range of conditions. Bio Concepts practitioner members also have access to online resources at www.bioconcepts.com.au with a focus on the essentials of nutritional biochemistry in areas such as Mental Health, Cancer Prevention and Support, Inflammatory Disease and Epigenetics.

💡 Did you know? Human papillomavirus (HPV) is almost a universal human experience, with an estimated four out of five people encountering it during their lifetime. Most infections resolve without intervention, thanks to a robust immune response. The challenge arises when high‑risk HPV types persist, creating the conditions for cervical cellular change.

Understanding your cycle = understanding your vaginal immunity 🤍

Endogenous lactoferrin and oestrogen rise and fall together at different times in your cycle, helping maintain protective mucus. This is important given that during menstruation vaginal pH also increases and there is often a reduction in populations of lactobacilli – conditions that can increase susceptibility to infection.

As oestrogen drops before and during your period, lactoferrin can drop too – during a time of:
- more sensitivity
- pH changes
- shifts in discharge
- higher susceptibility to irritation or infections

Always discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing with a qualified health professional.

💡 Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most common vaginal conditions seen in practice, yet many practitioners feel uncertain when it comes to diagnosis, testing, and ongoing management – particularly when symptoms recur or treatment doesn’t go to plan.

Rather than focusing on rigid protocols, the emphasis is on clinical reasoning – how to identify BV accurately, how to distinguish it from other vaginal presentations, how to choose and interpret appropriate tests, and how to approach treatment with a focus on safety and effectiveness.
