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 s

cientific 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.

In recent years there has been much debate around the need to explore potential benefits offered by different forms of folate, particularly in the presence of MTHFR mutations.

➡️ The clinical approach to fertility is evolving, and so should our understanding of folate.

21/04/2025

Long before full inboxes, traffic, and stressful work life, our brains evolved to survive a world of real, tangible threats. These primal dangers shaped our physiology and they’re still running in the background today.

Let’s rewind to the origins:

1️⃣ Scarcity – Not enough food, water, or shelter
2️⃣ Predators – Physical danger and threats to safety
3️⃣ Pathogens – Disease and infection
4️⃣ Tribal Bonds – Fear of exclusion or disconnection
5️⃣ Winter – Harsh conditions and lack of resources
6️⃣ Debris – Environmental hazards and injury
7️⃣ Damage to the 8 Senses – Sensory overload or deprivation
8️⃣ Miasma – Toxic exposures or unclean environments

⚠️ Modern stressors may look different, but your adaptive brain still responds as if your survival depends on it.

In the Adaptive Brain Seminar Series, Dr Olivia Lesslar will unpack how these ancient threats continue to impact modern health, behaviour, and clinical presentations and how practitioners can use this knowledge to drive better outcomes.

🧐 New focus on ingredient with ancient roots

Berberine is a key constituent found in certain herbs, which have been used for over 2500 years in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In more recent years, the potential of Berberine has caused both excitement and frustration due to its low bioavailability. Fortunately, there has now been significant focus on addressing these absorption challenges. In our latest flyer we look into the potential benefits of combining Berberine with other components such as Silymarin for improving its bioavailability.
