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.

Ever heard someone say collagen can’t be absorbed? 👀

They’re not entirely wrong – our bodies can’t absorb collagen in its whole form. BUT… that’s not the end of the story.

✨ The key lies in hydrolyzation – a process that breaks collagen down into smaller peptides, making it easier for your body to absorb and use where it’s needed most.

🌊 Marine collagen, in particular, is known for its superior bioavailability, meaning it’s often absorbed faster and more efficiently.

Collagen through life’s stages – because when life demands more, your body needs support. 💪✨

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, forming the foundation for skin, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue. But did you know collagen production naturally declines with age? Factors like menopause, intense athletic training, physical injury, and even lifestyle choices such as smoking can also accelerate this breakdown.

Whether you’re an athlete pushing limits, navigating hormonal changes, or recovering from injury, healthy collagen levels can make the difference for stronger bones, healthier joints, and improved tissue resilience when you need it most.

From absorption rates to sustainability, marine collagen may just be what your skin is thirsty for 💧

The authors of a Systematic Review & Metanalysis published in 2023 revealed that hydrolysed collagen improved skin hydration and elasticity, while collagen sourced from fish in particular came out on top for improving skin hydration.

Your gut and va**na health are more connected than you think 🦠🌸

Both the gut and va**na host complex microbial communities, and when your gut is out of balance (gut dysbiosis), it can lead to:

🔥 Increased inflammation
🛡️ Altered immune responses
🦠 Fewer protective Lactobacillus species

➡️ All of this can disrupt the va**nal microbiome and lead to imbalance.

A healthy gut = a healthy va**na 💖
Swipe to understand the gut-va**na axis and why your microbiome matters!

Debunking va**nal myths 👇👇👇
How often do you hear these in clinic?

🚫 “Thrush only happens if you’re unclean.”
✅ Thrush is an overgrowth of Candida, often triggered by antibiotics, hormones, diet, or stress, not poor hygiene.
🚫 “All discharge means infection.”
✅ Vaginal discharge is normal and healthy, with changes across the menstrual cycle. It only signals concern when it’s unusual in colour, odour, or texture.
🚫 “You should use douches or scented washes to stay ‘fresh’.”
✅ The va**na is self-cleaning. Douching and perfumed washes disrupt pH and the microbiome, increasing risk of BV and thrush.
🚫 “Probiotics are all the same.”
✅ Far fewer strains of friendly bacteria are able to colonise the va**na compared to the gut, and a healthy va**nal microbiome is associated with a few dominant strains.
🚫 “Recurrent infections are just bad luck.”
✅ Recurrence often links back to microbiome imbalance, lifestyle triggers, or incomplete treatment, not chance.
