You're about to receive responsible, life changing information on health and nutrition. You'll
hear from Invite professionals who are leaders in targeted and anti aging nutrition. Get
ready for tomorrow's nutritional Science Today right here, right now. Hello, and
welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at
Invite Health, and it sounds like you guys are off to a chili start
there in the city. I know that there's been some strange weather patterns.
It's been remarkably cold here in South Florida this winter. Not that I'm complaining,
because I know it's better than other places in the country, but it's
been chili. I had to bust out my sweaters many times. So I
am hoping that we are making a term and then of course it'll get way
too hot and then I'll be complaining that it's too warm, but that's okay.
Just want to mention that we have a few different products that are on
kind of a flash sell, so definitely check some of those out. We
have the Memory multi vitamin is on a massive discount. It's twenty four to
ninety five, folks, and that is just such a comprehensive formulation. Not
only is it a daily multi vitamin, multimineral complex, so you get basically
what you're getting is the core multi vitamin. So you get the advanced complex
of keylated minerals so that make sure that they're absorbing properly. Along with natural
vitamin E. You get that krotinoid blend, which is so beneficial I must
mention for your brain. Obviously we've always looked at krotenoids for eyehealth, but
clearly we now you fundamentally understand the science of how carotenoids are working within the
brain. So definitely check that product out. It has ginko below it in
that. If you've listened to me in the past, you know I am
a huge fan of ginko. I always say folks who supplement with ginko on
a regular basis have what is known as a beautiful brain, and the reason
behind that is the power of the antioxidants contained within ginko really do a marvelous
job at helping to support not only the structure of your brain cells, but
really the vascular system that runs into the brain. And as we grow older,
we always want to make sure that we have good blood flow going to
our noggin. That's very, very important. So having the ginko really leads
you down a path to have a healthy, aging brain. And the reason
why I say a beautiful brain when you look at MRIs and not that people
are you know, sitting around on us Saturday saying, you know what,
let me look at some MRIs. But you know, being that I'm in
the world of medicine and went to medical school, this is an area for
me that I find incredibly fascinating. And as a matter of fact, when
I was a third year, no actually a fourth year medical student, that
was one of my favorite rotations that I did. It was an elective rotation
and I did neurology, and I found it so incredibly fascinating, you know,
the central nervous system and just really understanding the brain itself. It's a
sad area of medicine for sure, because usually the outcomes are not always the
best in the people who are presenting to a neurology office usually are are having
some significant struggles, but in any event, the science behind it is really
quite remarkable. And so when you look at an MRI and you understand the
anatomy of the brain, you start to recognize where destruction occurs just through the
aging process for a whole host of different reasons. You can look at diet.
You know, clearly, we know that diet influences brain health, which
is why we should be following a Mediterranean way of eating, because that leads
us to maintaining a nice, healthy, full brain. That's very important.
I always say, you don't want to be in the skinny brain line.
That's not the line you want to stand in when it comes to brain health.
But when you look at the anatomy and you can see a nice full
brain, and you see this optimal blood flow making its way to the brain,
and you say, wow, you know these folks over here, you
know they adhere to a Mediterranean style way of eating. They supplement with key
nutrients, healthy omega threes such as krill oil or fish oil. They're supplementing
with ginko biloba, and you can see the beauty of the brain. So
when I say a beautiful brain, that that is what I am talking about
and we know there are so many different factors that can lead to to problems
with brain aging, and so we always want to do our best to try
to avoid, you know, adding insult to injury. We know just with
the aging process alone, we have a risk of things that can start to
kind of go off the rails. Let's just put it that way, and
so we want to do everything in our power and being that we know so
much now, we can make smarter choices for ourself. Always say being proactive
in your own health is key to success when it comes to healthy aging.
And I'm all about out anti aging and aging gracefully. I think that it's
very very important. We know there's so many different medications out there that can
affect brain aging. Common medications that people are taking. The American Academy of
Neurology published a study in the Journal of Neurology, and they were looking at
people who took acid reflux medications. So these are commonly known as PPIs or
proton pump inhibitors. So just to kind of give you an idea as to
which drugs that would be, you think of something like nexium and this is
commonly prescribed folks I mean, the PPI acid reflux industry is huge, and
that should tell us something that if you have this many Americans who are requiring
the aid of a medication to help with their acid reflux and their heartburn and
their indigestion, maybe we need to look at the foods. You know,
why is it that this is occurring. But in any event, we know
that these are commonly prescribed and any time you were taking an acid reflux medication,
and they're so easily available and accessible now because it used to be that
some of the stronger ones were required via prescription only, but now you can
walk into any pharmacy and you can buy these over the counter. So a
lot of people are self medicating. They're not changing their diet, but they're
like, oh, well, if I take this, you know drug,
this will help. The problem is is that whenever you're on those for any
length of time, and I'm talking anything over two weeks, we're running the
risk of creating some havoc in our system. And this study that came out
was looking at how the long term use of proton pump inhibitors actually led to
a significant risk of cognitive declaine leading to dementia. So once again, this
is an area where we have to pause and say, you know, should
I be on this drug for my heartburn and for my indigestion for four,
five, six, ten years, or should I be looking at my diet
itself. And oftentimes what happens is people will try and make some you know,
dietary modifications. Maybe they talk to their gi doctor and they say,
oh, you know, just avoid high acid foods, and you try that
for a little while. You're trying to avoid tomatoes and things like that,
and after two weeks you're like, you know what, I'm going back to
the way that I'm eating. This medication seems to be working for me.
I'm not having as much you know, heartburn. It's just not the way
to approach this. We really need to find out what is, you know,
the causative reason for this. And we can link this to once again
the aging process, the lack or inadequate release of digestive enzymes that occur within
the human body as we get older. So supplementation with a formulation such as
digestive HX would be incredibly advantageous. I mean, I encourage anyone over the
age of forty to start using digestive HX at least with their heaviest meal of
the day, because that combination of those digestive enzymes really leads you down this
path to healthier digestion and optimal absorption. But when you are using a proton
pump inhibitor for you know, one year, two years, you know,
I've talked to folks who have been on these medications for twenty years and then
you look and you go, hmm, you know, is the memory issues
that you're having or mild cognitive impairment that you're experiencing, is this, you
know, just relevant to just aging. And the to that is no,
you know, the aging brain should not be struggling because if we're doing the
right things with our diet, with getting good healthy sleep, with managing our
stress, and taking the right nutrients making sure that we're getting brain supporting nutrients
that come from formulations like the Memory multi vitamin, then we're doing really well.
So the Memory Multivitamin being that that's on special right now for twenty four
to ninety five, you get this comprehensive blend of nutrients that contains the genko
bloba along with those carotenoids. Of course, you're also getting CDP coaling.
So this is a key and very important fat that helps to maintain the structure
of your brain. But it also does something really unique, which is to
help the brain produce additional acetyl coalin. And we know that acetyl colin is
key to memory. So when we are supplementing with CDP holy, not only
do we help to maintain the brain volume, we're also helping to enhance the
ability and the capacity for new memory, for retaining old memory, so we
have good recall for example. And then it also contains a trace mineral known
as lithium. And most time when people think of lithium, you think of
a lithium battery, but the trace mineral lithium. The human body requires this
in a very small amount each day, and unfortunately we just don't get enough
just from dietary intake a loan. And when you look at areas of the
world where lithium content is higher just coming from the soil, you find healthier
brain aging and less cases of dementia in Alzheimer's. So having a supplement such
as the memory multi item in that contains lithium that helps the brain clear itself
from debris and clutter, because we can build up an awful lot of clutter
just in one single day, you know, from air pollution, from stress,
from our bad foods that we're eating, and we want to be able
to remove that. We know that lithium one of its functions is to help
to remove that, and so through supplementation of the memory multi vitamin, not
only are we helping to support memory moving forward, but we're also helping for
focus and attention. So it's our number one go to product when it comes
to optimizing brain health. So I encourage you to check that one out.
There are so many studies that have dropped in the last week that really tie
together, you know, all of the ways to which the brain can be
affected. You know, we can clearly look at the use of proton pump
inhibitors and this study that came out of the American Academy of Neurology and recognizing
that long term use of those proton pump inhibitor drugs can lead to cognitive decline.
We can also recognize where a lack of antioxidants in our diet and if
you're not supplementing with antioxidants, how this also can lead to problems with brain
aging. So when you're supplementing with the memory multi item and you're getting all
of these powerful antioxidants, you're getting those carotenoids, you're getting the ginkgo biloba,
which in and of itself has very potent antioxidants. So it's a go
to. If you feel like you're a little cloudy brained, then definitely check
that product out. I want to talk a little bit more about anticholinergic drugs
because an interesting study just came out, but we know that they are commonly
prescribed. There's a whole class of different drugs that fall into this category.
But I do want to talk about this in some detail, so I have
to squeeze in a quick break. Stick around with me. I will be
right back just after this. It is cold and flu season again. Is

Radio. Talking about the absorption capacity of particular strains of lactobacillis shown to be
highly effective in being able to kind of bind on to those nanoplastics that we
pick up from all different consumer products out there, and food wrappers and what
you store your foods in, you know, things that you're touching throughout the
day that leach out. I mean, there's a lot of things that we
just don't think about as to where we can get these common chemical exposures from.
So lactobacillis just the general family does a wonderful job. Which is why
I mentioned the probiotic women because that's four different strains of powerful lacto bacilli,
So we know it's wonderful for helping with the normal floral environment for the vaginal
tract as well as for men. You know, when you think about the
eurogenital health and the microbiome, it's very important, you know, to maintain
healthy microbes so that we are not you know, falling victim to a urinary
tract infection or for men prostatitis. Prostatitis becomes a much more prevalent condition that
men deal with as they get older, partly because of the natural enlarging of
the prostate. And it really just comes down to an anatomy issue. You
know, the human body is designed in its own unique way, but just
the anatomy of where the prostate is located, in the way that the urethra
runs through there, that is you know, a area of concern. So
for men, you know, taking the probiotic women, you can definitely do
that. And it also has that wonderful blend of garlic and time extracts,
so once again powerful antioxidants and they help to ease inflammation. I want to
talk about those anti coal energic medications. We know that anti coalenergic medications are
commonly prescribed and there are many different classes of drugs that fall into this category.
And what happens is when you were taking the anti coal energic drug,
the body cannot make acetyl coaling and this can lead to memory issues. So
we can look at medications like benadryl, for example. We can also look
at dittrapan, which is also known as oxybutanin, and oxybutanin is the the
most commonly prescribed drug or medication for an overactive bladder. And I have an
interesting story to tie into this about oxybutin or hence ditchrepan, and I will
tell you about that in just a moment. But there was a study that
came out. It was published in the Scientific Reports Journal, and I found
this actually quite fascinating because I've known about how the anti coinergic drugs can lead
to problems with memory, and this has been a known thing for many many
years. Unfortunately, many doctors don't recognize that, and they are still commonly
prescribing these drugs. And I mean there's drugs for there's anti spasmodic drugs,
which is kind of what oxybutinin would fall under. There is clearly the drug
class that has includes the antihistamines. There are certain anti psycho medications, antidepressant
medications, so there's a whole list of drugs that are categorized as anti coalinergic,
and so if you're using one of those, you need to be,
you know, clearly aware of this because this can lead to problems when it
comes to cognitive function and to your memory. So of course we want to
avoid this. But in this study that came out in the Scientific Reports Journal,
they were looking at a direct association which I found incredibly fascinating, but
a direct association between anti coalenergic medication use and an accelerated decrease in lung function,
in particular in older individuals. And this is a big, big,
you know, find, because if you have someone who is taking a medication
for let's just say overactive bladder, their doctor prescribes the ox buttin in or
also known as ditchrapan, and they're taking this, they start to experience some
memory issues and they chalk it up just to the aging process, and then
they start to have some problems when it comes to lung function. And this
also oftentimes can be linked to just oh, this is just part of aging,
but it's not. And so to see this and to see how the
use of these medications actually is leading to an incredibly accelerated decrease in lung function
is incredibly important to understand, and they actually said that the accelerated decrease was
comparable to that observed in smokers. And so you think, oh, my
goodness. You know, I've never smoked a day in my life and I'm
doing everything right. I have an overactive bladder, I'm taking this medication,
and the next thing I know, I'm having some respiratory issues. This this
is a huge issue people. I mean, we cannot avoid the fact that
obviously there's times where taking a prescribed medication is incredibly warranted, but you also
have to just be well aware of the side effects. And this is why
I enjoy talking about the Invite Health product line, because when we're looking at
a particular formulation that we have at Invite Health, you may be thinking about
it for one particular purpose. And we can look at bladder HX as an
example, and you think, Okay, I'm going to be taking this formulation
to help to support bladder health, but also recognizing that you get these other
wonderful side benefits that go along with daily supplementation of the bladder HX formulation.
And bladder HX is one of the best products for folks who are experience and
sing that urgent continence or overactive bladder. This is very common in both men
and women due to hormonal changes that occur throughout your life. Clearly, women
can experience to a different degree some issues when it comes to urgent continence,
and that can be you know, related back to you know, childbirth for
example. But we know that bladder HX, this powerful combination of nutrients can
really help to support the functionality of the bladder itself. And I'll talk about
the science on that in just a moment, but this is an interesting way
to understand this particular product and the power of this product. I worked with
one of our customers at Invite Health many years ago, and she was one
of my regular customers. She would bring her blood work in, we would
have, you know, different conversations. Talked to her about any medication she
was on, and she didn't take anything well unbeknounced to me. She never
mentioned to me that she was actually taking oxybutin in she was taking ditcher pan
And she's like, you know, Amanda, I don't know. I just
wasn't even thinking about it. I've been on this medication and I just didn't
even like, I didn't think about it in the sense of like a high
blood pressure medication or you know, a medication for diabetes or cholesterol. So
I just never mentioned that I was on this. But she, in any
event, she comes to me and she's talking to me about, you know,
how she's got a lot of stress in her life. Her husband was
getting older, and she just felt like her her memory just was not as
sharp. And she just kept saying, you know, I guess it's just
because I'm getting older, but I just really feel like, in the last
year, my memory is really really struggling. So we dove into it a
little bit more because I knew she was doing, you know, pretty consistent
with her supplementation routine and her diet was pretty healthy. So we start to
talk in some more detail, and you know, she says, you know,
and then I have my bladder issues and I'm getting up in the middle
of the night, and I said, oh, okay, you know,
so maybe we can talk about, you know, something to help you get
better sleep that will help with memory. And then she says, you know,
I've been on that medication for a couple of years now, and I
said, wait, what medication. She says, oh, I'm on you
know ditcher Pan And I said, oh, well, and when did you
start that medication? She says about two and a half years ago. And
I said, now, when did you start experiencing the issues with your memory?
She said about a year ago. And so I was like, ah,
you know this is your problem. That's an anti coalinergic medication. And
she was like, oh, I didn't. I don't know what that means.
And so, you know, we talked about the mechanism of action,
how the drug is working, and I said, you know, if you
were someone in my family, I would definitely say don't be on that medication.
I'm obviously not going to tell you what to do, but I would,
you know, highly advise reconsidering and having a conversation with your doctor about
that medication. So the next week she you know, called up her doctor
said, you know what, I'm going to discontinue this medication. I'm going
to try a natural approach to my bladder issues. We switched over to to
bladder HX. She started using it went with a high amount in the beginning.
I believe we had her doing three capsules three times a day for the
first week, and then we scaled it back to three caps daily thereafter because
I didn't want her to have any you know, type of a transition from
switching from the prescribed medication. And within the first two weeks of her being
on bladder HX, she she called me up and she says, Amanda,
you're not going to believe that. I feel like my memory is coming back.
I feel like I'm sharp again. I don't have that same sensation of
just feeling a little off. And it was amazing to her that this medication
that she was on, because remember the side effect didn't happen overnight. She
started taking that oxybutant under the ditcher pan for her overactive bladder. Within the
first couple of weeks she started to see an improvement in her bladder health.
But it was you know, maybe six months in a year in that she
started to experience the memory issues, so she never correlated it back to her
prescription medication. So this is why it's always important that when you come in
and you speak with one of our nutritional experts, and remember they're available seven
days a week, you can pop into one of the stores. If you
can't make it into one of the stores, But you still want to have
a chat, by all means, give us a call. We're happy to
patch you through to one of our nutritional experts and that's a free service.
But talk to them about all of the medications that you're on, any supplements
that you currently take, what your diet is like, what your exercise is
like. Have those conversations because sometimes you may not reveal something that's very important
for us to know so that we can help you help yourself the most.
And so in this situation, you know, she basically had this transformation just
by switching over to bladder HX, and she was getting an incredible amount of
support and she was like, you know what's kind of amazing. She's like,
I really feel like the bladder HX is much more supportive than the medication
ever was. I'm actually sleeping through the night. I'm not getting up to
have to use the bathroom. And I was doing that while I was on
the prescription medication. So now we have a side benefit. We have an
improvement in sleep quality, which means her brain has time to rest and repair,
which also helps to encourage healthy memory. So it was a win win
for her. So if you are listening and you're like, you know what
I do take a medication for my bladder, or you know, maybe you
know someone who is on a medication for their bladder, and this is oftentimes
the case even with men with prostate issues. So just be aware of that
and check out the bladder HX. I do need to squeeze in a quick
break, but when I get back, I'm going to kind of break down
what is contained in the bladder HX and the science that we understand and know
about this formulation and why it packs such a punch when it comes to the
health of your bladder. So you are listening to Invite Health Radio, stick
around with me. Yeah, we will be right back just after this.

back to Invite Health Radio talking about Rodeola extract. And we know that Rodeola
extract is an adrenal adaptogenic herb and it has been shown to be incredibly beneficial
for not only helping the body to offset the negative effects of stress, and
we know a lot of folks have stress, but it also can help generate
energy, which makes it really unique. And what I love about Rodeola extract
is that it works really quickly. It's not one of those supplements where you're
like, well, I got to take this for the next two months before
I notice the difference, and not that there's anything wrong if it's a formulation
that's like that, because sometimes we have to build up this steady state of
a particular nutrient in order for the body to really start to properly utilize that,
which is why being regular with your supplementation routine is key. I have
folks all the time that are like, well, I tried that. I
tried it, you know, for two days, and that didn't work.
It's like, well, this is you know, the clinical studies show you
have to be on it for at least eight weeks for you to really start
to you know, see those potential benefits. But this is not the case
with rodeola. Rodeola you see those effects instantaneous, which is a wonderful thing.
So you're taking this multi item in every day, the performance multi item,
and you're getting all those powerful vitamins and minerals, and you are getting
Rodeola extract, which is great for athletes, but it's also great for folks
who have a sluggish thyroid. We know that rodeola really can benefit the metabolism.
We know that's going to give us this nice sense of well being and
help to encourage better sell energy production. And then this is partnered with superoxide
dismutase, so SOD is one of our natural occurring antioxidants in the body.
Once again, we know that as we get older, those levels begin to
diminish. Well, that's a problem for a few different reasons. Once again,
not enough SOD means we don't have enough of this powerful antioxidant to protect
our blood vessels, and that's very critical. So we have seen studies where
they actually show that low levels of superoxide dismutase have a direct link to an
increase thickening of the carotid artery. That's alarming, that's incredibly alarming. This
is a study back in two thousand and nine and it was published in the
Diabetes Research Journal. They were looking at diabetics, and so we already know
remember diabetics, if you have low dmg dimethyl glycine, that makes you prone
to worsening of diabetes. And if you are not a diabetic and you have
low dimethyl glycine levels, that makes you more likely to develop diabetes. So
now we're looking at this SOD study, so we're dealing with two naturally occurring
antioxidants in the body, and if you have low blood levels of super oxide
dismutase, there was a direct correlation between the carotid artery becoming thick. Well,
that's a big problem. If we have a thick carotid artery that means
we're not getting proper blood flow and oxygen to our noggin. And if our
brain is not getting proper blood flow and oxygen, we're going to feel the
effects of that. So this is why the performance multivitamin. I always categorize
this as being like the the ideal formulation for anyone with heart disease, anyone
who has diabetes, anyone who has concerns with heart health or metabolic health.
And it's just it's such a wonderful formula. This is I can go on
and on about the performance multiviamin, but I'll leave it at the X.
I have other things that I want to cover. So these are just areas
that we we have to always think about. We know that as we grow
older, certain things become less efficient. We see it with coenzyme Q ten
production just as an example. You know, as we get older, our
body makes less and less coq ten, so we need coq ten. It's
the primary fuel for our cell energy. This is why supplementation with ubiquenol is
so key. And I always say when you look at a basic supplementation routine,
regardless of your age, everyone should be supplementing with coenzyme q ten,
it's very important. So we have our ubiquenol sixty milligram is on a special
right now, so take advantage of that. Remember we use the Konica form.
That's the form of coenzyme q ten that is the most well regarded in
terms of the clinical research that evidence based of how the body actually absorbs that
form of coenzyme q ten. It gets into the system, and you know,
if you can always go in and have your blood level tested, folks,
you can go have a co q ten level tested and then you start
supplementing with the invite how ubiquinol and go in even a month later, you're
gonna see that that coenzie on q ten level is going to start to build
back up, which is a wonderful thing for you because we know co q
ten is a antioxidant for the body, but it's also key for our energy
production. And we look at the bladder HX formulation and we can start to
break down what's actually contained in this and why it's just so powerful. And
as I mentioned, Jerry Hickey formulated this so many years ago with the thought
in mind that we have just a whole host of individuals who will pop by
an invite stores, you know, shoot us an email, give us a
call, and they talk to us about their their bladder health issues. So
whether that's an overactive bladder, which we know, you know, one in
six adults deal with, and we know that this problem continues to get worse
as we get older, you know, but you have increase in urinary frequency
that can happen. Obviously there's urinary incontinence that can occur, all brought on
by you know, it can be stress and continence, hormonal changes. In
any event, the combination of what's contained in bladder HX really allows the bladder
to regain much of its functionality. So you start to look at the pumpkin
seed extract, which I find fascinating because pumpkin seed water soluble pumpkin seed extract
actually works in the body in a sense to mimic the action of testosterone.
And the reason why that's really important is because we know that the bladder itself
has a tendency to lose testosterone content, and when it loses its testosterone content,
it gets weak. And this happens in both men and women. So
as we know women going through menopause, men going through andropause, there's going
to be a steady decline in testosterone in the system. So if we're so
supplementing with pumpkin seed extract, we are now getting this benefit of kind of
rebuilding or strengthening the bladder itself. So hence we have the pumpkin seed extract
in this along with isoflavone extract. In the isoflavone, this is a powerhouse
when it comes to the actual urder. So if you think about your bladder,
and let's just think about a balloon, for example, and if we
had a straw coming out of that balloon, that would be your urder.
So we think about the you know, the urder coming from the kidney and
then through the traverses through the bladder and out through the urethra. Well,
one of the things that happens in both once again men and women through the
aging process and hormonal fluctuations is that the urethra itself can start to kind of
shrink. And when it does that, it's like if you've ever had a
raw that is broken, maybe it has a hole or something in it,
it makes it very difficult to drink whatever it is that you're trying to drink.
So we think about the urethra, and if that has a narrowing or
any type of dysfunction occurring, then it's hard for the bladder to have proper
unfilling. So hence we look at the isoflavones and we recognize how those isoflavones
are actually working to reestablish the normal structure of the urethra. So pretty fascinating
science here. So far. We've got the pumpkin seat extract that's helping to
kind of rebuild the strength of the bladder. Then we use the isoflavone to
rebuild the actual urethra itself. And then we have the three leaf caper in
this, so the three leaf caper, we have the the horsetail silica extract
in this all to one's again help the rebuilding or the restructuring of the bladder
function. And when you are using Bladder HX, you were going to start
to yield these benefits of improvement when it comes to your bladder health and understanding
the science of this, looking at the different clinical research trials has led to
a significant improvement in so many individuals who use this particular formulation. Now what's
fascinating was that many years ago there was a clinical research trial that was conducted
utilizing the pumpkin seed extract that we use along with those isoflavones. So combining
those two, remember this is two of the key nutrients in bladder HX,
and they found that when they combined those two and they gave this to individuals
who were experiencing problems with increased urinary frequency, having urged in continence, stress,
and continents of the bladder, that they started to supplement with this combo
of pumpkin seat extract and isoflavones, they started to get significant improvement in a
very short amount of time. So where they started to see the initial improvements
was at four weeks, and then by twelve weeks they had basically gone from
let's just say you were at zero and we're trying to get to one hundred.
So by twelve weeks these folks were already at eighty. And so for
anyone who has ever struggled with any type of bladder issue, and now you
understand that taking the prescription medication the oxybutant and for example, can lead to
problems with memory, then obviously we would want to try to avoid this at
all costs. So if we're looking at the bladder HX, and we know
it cans that pumpkin seed extract to help to strengthen the bladder. We know
all of the wonderful things that NAC can do. So I take NAC on
a regular basis. It's one of those nutrients where I think, even if
you're not taking it every single day, if you add in a capsule two
capsules a few times out of the week, you are doing so much benefit
for cellular detoxification and overall cellular protection. So definitely check out the NAC.
I do need to squeeze in one more break, so stick around with me.

Amanda Williams. Just talked about the bladder HX formulation, the science behind how
that is actually working with that pumpkin seat extract, the isoflavones having that horsetail
silica in that formulation, and it's in incredibly impressive and we've had so much
success with that particular product. So by all means, if you are dealing
with any type of bladder health issue, check that product out. Now.
I want to move on to some other things that are in the news.
There is an awful lot to say about coenzyme Q ten and the importance of
maintaining healthy co q ten levels as we grow older and we understand that co
Q ten, especially in the ubiquanoul form, is one of the primary ways
for us to generate up cellular energy, which is key because we want to
make sure that our cells continue to have an energy source as we grow older.
An interesting study came out just this past week looking at how damage to
the cell membranes. If you just say, if you drew a circle and
that circle lost its uh, its actual structure, then that would be an
example of that cell membrane damage, which can then lead to a problem with
the inner core of the cell. So the inner core of the cell is
known as your mitochondria. That's where the energy is produced. So we don't
want to ever have mitochondrial dysfunction occurring. If that happens, that's a huge
problem. So damage to the cell membrane leads to accelerated aging. So there's
a whole host of different supplements that are touted as being the go to's when
it comes to kind of anti aging supplements. Risveratrol topping that list. So
we have our risveratrol Max which contains the trans risveratrol extract along with OPCs or
ollegal proanthocynodens that come from grape seed extract along with corsetin. And corsetin is
an excellent choice, especially, say, if you're one of those individuals where
you're constantly turning to benadryl. No, no, no, let's not do
that. Let's use corstin. So we have the corsetin combined in the rizveritrol
max, but we also have the standalone corsetin that's partnered up with some vitamin
C. The excellent choice for folks who deal with seasonal allergies. It's a
really nice alternative to using a traditional anti histamine which also have that anti colinergic
effect. We don't want to do that, so corsetin is going to be
your go too. But in this study, we know that damage to the
cell membrane is going to lead to loss of function of the cell. And
in understanding that, understanding that the fragility of the cell membrane, we can
take steps to protect the cell itself. So one thing that we do is
we change our diet and we make sure that we're getting in nutrients that are
cellular supportive, that are anti inflammatory, so hence the Mediterranean diet. And
then of course we make sure that we're supplementing with the key nutrients that the
body needs, that your cells need each and every single day to generate up
energy, which includes ubiquinol. Now we have our ubiquanol with NADH. There's
been a lot of information out there, probably in the last couple of months
where people have this heightened interest in NADH NMN. So NMN has kind of
taken over in the last couple of months, and so we get a lot
of questions about this, Well, hey, do you guys have an NMN
supplement, Well, we don't because we have NADH, and what NMN is
is this is a precursor to making NADH. So it makes sense that if
what we're trying to achieve is to drive up sell energy and to protect our
natural coenzyme Q ten, we would use NADH. So hence, when you
look at our formulation, this is why we partner the two up. We
have that ubiquenol, the conica ubiquenol partnered with NADH. And this is a
interesting area of science because when you start to understand how niasin, which is
vitamin B three, how this works in the body for cellular metabolism as well
as for cell energy production. This is what leads us into this world of
NMN into NAD into NADH, and it happens through these natural pathways in the
body. There's two different pathways. One is called the Denovo pathway. Not
that you necessarily need to know that, but we know that that is kind
of off of the backbone of the amino acid trypta FAN. So if our
diet includes foods that are high in triped to FAN, like pumpkin seed extra
for example, or pumpkin seeds themselves, this would be a great way for
us to make sure that our body can naturally make that NAD and then hence
the NADH. But we know that dietary intake, especially in this country,
is always going to be lacking in the nutrients that can provide adequate production of
NAD. So not to get super technical, because these these are very complex
biochemical pathways, but basically what we want to walk away with understanding because you
may hear your friends or coworkers say, oh, you should be supplementing with
NMN, and just so you understand, you can say, hey, you
know what, I don't need the NMN because I'm already taking invite health.
You biquin all with NADH, and that NADH is the end goal of what
we are trying to achieve, and so I don't need to take the NMN
because I'm already taking the most powerful the NADH. So what those stand for
is you start with vitamin B three, which is niacin, and then you
have the different substrates, so you have the nicotinic di nucleotide, so that
would be your NAD. And so when we are utilizing these formulations that ubiquin
all with the NADH, what we're doing is we are protecting that core of
the cell, that mitochondria. We are giving that mitochondria a way to generate
up cell energy so that every single day we are giving our cells the ability
to live longer. So when you think about anti aging, oftentimes people don't
throw ubiquinol or coenzyme q ten into that category, but we really should be,
because without adequate coenzyme q ten, without adequate NADH, the cell itself
struggles to maintain its actual viability over time. So I just wanted to mention
that because I've had quite a few folks reach out to me in the past,
I would say, I don't know a month really inquiring about NMN,
which is nicotinamide mononucleotide. So what we use in our formulation is nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide. That's the end goal. Remember there's two different pathways to which vitamin
B three niacin is working to generate energy. We know that NADH this is
that end goal. This has been shown to be the most effective way to
generate up additional mitochondrial energy and it helps to enhance our natural co Q ten
levels. So when you're supplementing with invite health ubiquenol with NADH, you are
super charging every single cell in the body. You are giving that assist for
where the body starts to struggle through the aging process. We are coming in
and we're saying, don't worry, We've got you covered. So definitely check
that particular product out. Check out that bladder h AX. Remember the memory
