Get ready for tomorrow's nutritional science today right here, right now, he Welcome. Welcome to Tonight Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health, and happy Saturday morning to everyone out there. I have so much to cover today. I've got very exciting news. We're having like a little mini flash sales. I'm going to highlight some of those products for you because you can really get some wonderful savings on some of these products,
and they're unique. Like when you think about lysing in all the ways that lycene, this little tiny amino acid, how it just powers up our bodies. So I'll talk about some of the science behind lycene, but I'm gonna highlight some of those products that you can take advantage of during this little mini flash sale that we're having. It's not applicable to all of our products, but certain products are on deep discounts right now, so I will talk
about that. Of course, I have to mention that the Lions play tomorrow. I don't know if if you are a football fan, you will probably be watching both of those games tomorrow, watching the Chiefs and the Ravens, and then of course the Lions and the forty nine ers. I'm still kind of like in my own little cloud head the fact that the Lions are even there. So being a Lions fan, my entire life has been a struggle.
And I'm sure that some of you up there in New York definitely can understand what I am talking about, as you are fans or Giants fans, so you get it, you know what I'm saying. But at the end of the day, win or lose tomorrow, I'm just so excited that we are finally like we're there. I mean, it's just it's amazing to me.
So I will be watching the game, but today I'm gonna be watching some X games because this is always kind of that weird little lull for me because I'm such a sports fan, so you kind of transition out of college football, which is my number one, and then you you shift into this kind of this weird window of like you know what's happening. And I do watch quite a bit of hockey, and I do watch and I did watch the Rangers last night, but I watch hockey, and of course I watch
college basketball. But it's just a weird time. And so I love winter sports. I don't like to participate in winter sports. It is not my thing. I learned that many years ago when I attempted to ski in miss when I was much much younger, and I wasn't very good at it, I'll admit it. You know, when you're good at something, you're good. When you're not so great, you just have to, you know, take that for what it is. I was very athletic, don't get me
wrong. I played college tennis, but when it came to me with you know, skis and snow, not so much. But any anyways, I love watching the the X Games, so that is gonna be on today. I watched some of it last night and then obviously today and tomorrow. So I'm a big X Games person, both the Winter X Games because I just love watching, you know, what these kids can do on those snowboards and
the skis, and it's just amazing to me. But I also like the Summer X Games too because I'm a huge Tony Hawk fan, So skateboarding all things that I don't personally do, but I have an appreciation for those who can. So I'm gonna be just action packed this weekend, obviously with all of my sports that I have on tap. But let's get right to it. Let's talk about this little mini flash sale that we're having. I think I mentioned this the last time I was on with you that our immunity multivitamin
is on a special so it still is. So the immunity multivitamin that is our comprehensive daily multivitamin multimineral complex and it's enhanced with Elderberry extract along with nucleic acids. Now, what's really interesting about like partnering up the Elderberry with the nucleic acids is that it really takes your immune system to this whole new level
of kind of added protection, which is key. And we know with Elderberry extract, this has been touted for decades and used throughout different European countries as being very beneficial. If you start feeling like you're coming down with the common
cold, the first thing that they turn to is elder berry extract. And the reason why is because they found that when they take elderberry extract, it actually shortens the duration of the time that you're kind of feeling icky or under the weather, which is a good thing because i mean, who wants to, you know, feel sick with cold or flu. But then they started to look at this and they said, well, what if you take it like on a regular basis, will this actually lead to prevention of the virus
you know, entering in in the first place. And this is exactly what they're able to show is the way that that elderberry extract is working to enhance the immune defenses. Remember, our immune system is quite complex, and you have the immediate immune system response and then you have the delayed And so they have found that the elderberry extract and all of the powerful antioxidants that are contained within elderberry work wonders when it comes to playing nice nice with her immune cells.
So hence, it made a lot of sense to us at Invite Health that if you're going to make an immunity multi vitamin, then we should add in elderberry extracts. So that's exactly what we've done. So it has elderberry
extract and then it also has the nucleic acids. Now, for me, being a huge fan of all things science, I find nucleic acids so incredibly unique as far as being able to take it as a dietary supplement, because when you understand like the genetic makeup of the body, and we start to look at our cellular DNA and how that drives our health, and you say, well, I can supplement with the actual nucleic acids that are sending kind
of the messages to the inner core of the cell. Yes, you can do that, and we know from multiple clinical research trials out there the true benet that goes along with nucleic acid supplementation. So initially it was looked at in that world of immunology, so looking at immune system health and so this
is why it, you know, applies to the immunity multivitamin. But they found that even in premies, so in little babies who have a weakened immune system, that when they gave them the nucleic acids, this helped their immune system build at a much more rapid pace. And that's key because you don't want those you know, tiny little babies getting ill. So this was, you know, the initial research, and then they said, well, let's
see if we can apply this to other areas. And so they were looking at adults who had conditions like Crohn's disease or alterative colitis, and once again they could see this true benefit that was coming along with the nucleic acids. How it was sending these key messages to the inner core of that cell and helping to lessen the inflammation, which is really important, especially if you have
any type of an inflammatory condition going on. So whether that be altertipic colitis or crones or anything beyond that, let's just say arthritis, we want to be able to basically take a sledgehammer to that inflammation, and so taking nucleic acids is kind of a means to being able to hold that sledge hammer, which is a really great thing. And we also know something that's great about the nucleic acids is that they help facilitate energy production. So you have a
lot of athletes who turn to nucleic acid supplementation. So when you look at the immunity multivitamin, You're like, Okay, well I'm concerned because I don't want to get the cold, and I certainly don't want to have the flu. I should be taking a comprehensive multi vitamin every day. And think about all of the things that are loaded in to these packets. In the immunity multivitamin, you get your activated B vitamins, you're getting all of those powerful
krotenoids. We know that carotenoids are really very important beyond that of just eye health. You know, initially you know much research on krotenoids. This is why I used to always say, you know, eat your carrots, it's good for your eyes. Well, of course we now recognize why that is.
It is the actual krotenoids. But now we say, well, if the krotenoids are wonderful for our retinal cells and for helping our eyes fight off blue light coming from the sun or from our light emitting devices, what else is it doing. What are they doing in the body? And you could see the support that the krotenoids are giving to the immune system. You can see this support that those krotenoids are doing when it comes to brain health and
brain connectivity. So if you are concerned about your aging brain, then taking the immunity multi vitamin, which is going to give you a powerful amount of carotenoids blended in with those activated B vitamins themember B vitamins. Folks, we don't want to just think about B vitamins in that scope of just energy.
Obviously, that's a very good point that we know about B vitamins, but we also have to recognize that those B vitamins are doing so many functions for us each and every single day, from detoxing our body from all of the crud that we pick up on a regular basis, whether that be from external sources or from internally crud that builds up. So we have to have those B vitamins for proper detoxification. We also have to have those B vitamins for
neurotransmitter release. So maybe you're feeling like your mood is a little low, maybe you're feeling a little anxious, then you definitely want to make sure that you were getting those bioactive B vitamins. So we have you covered when you're taking that immunity multi vitamin, because you get the the bioactive B vitamins get
that wonderful blend of natural vitamin E. It's very important. I stress that so often, but I'm always shocked that people don't realize that there's so many companies unfortunately out there that use synthetic vitamin E. Why do they do that? Cost is the true answer to that. But if you're supplementing with vitamins and minerals, you want to be using the most powerful forms of those vitamins
and minerals. So you can always rest assure whenever you walk into an Invite Health store, you go to our website and you purchase one of our multivitamins, and it doesn't matter which one, whether you're looking at the core, the immunity, our new memory multi vitamin, which is wonderful for folks who
feel a little frazzled or brain fog. That's your go to multivitamin, the performance multivitamin, all of these multis all are going to have those bioactive B vitamins, the natural form of vitamin E. So these things do matter. Now, speaking about mood and anxiety, a lot of folks deal with, you know, feeling stress and always feeling a little angst and sometimes you chalk it up to oh, this is just normal life. I should probably just
accept this. No, you shouldn't, because that can be very taxing on the body. And we know that chronic stress is incredibly detrimental leads to significant
problems. I think I talked about this maybe last week or two weeks ago about a study that came out where they were looking at, you know, the high rate of inflammation in the body and drawing the direct correlation between heightened levels of inflammation and stress and how stress is driving this, like stress gets into the driver's seat and says, Okay, we're going to inflame the body. And what was interesting about the study is that the researchers were like,
what should we do about that? We know that stress is making the body inflamed. What can we do to solve that? And they said, well, maybe some stress management techniques would be helpful, which, you know, yes, of course, I talk often about mindfulness and why mindfulness matters, paying attention to your body and if you are stressed, if you do feel like you have higher levels of anxiety, then you need to be able to address that so it does not become a long term lingering issue which is going
to drive problems in your system. So speaking of anxiety, we go back to our little mini flash cell and lising folks. So the amino acid lising that most of us just correlate with the immune system. If you have a cold, sore, if you have shingles, to turn to liceine. But we also know that liceine is doing many other things as all of those powerful amino acids are doing in the body. So I'm going to tell you about what we know on licene on the flip side of this break. So stick
around. You are listening to Invite Health Radio and I will be right back. For twenty five years, Invite Health has been leading the way and wellness with our extensive line of dietary supplements.

Or go to invite health dot com and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health, and let's talk about lysing the little amino acid that could. I
love talking about amino acids because to me they're so fascinating. This is why if you use our way protein islet, for example, our new plant protein, you get that wonderful blend of all of those key amino acids. Because when you start to break down individual amino acids and you say, well what's the function? You know, what is this act actually doing in the body. We know that some of them are truly essential amino acids. What are
they doing for us? And you look at argenine for example, we know rgenine is critical as being a step for the body to make nitric oxide. Well, if we can't make nitric oxide because we do not have adequate rgenine, then we can have struggles with high blood pressure, men can struggle with a rectile dysfunction. So you start to look at the different amino acids and kind of I always say, get under the hood and recognize what they're actually
doing. Same thing with vitamins. I talk about the B vitamins all the time, how they're just so key for our immune system, and so lysine falls into this category. Most folks think about lysine in that setting of targeting viruses. So, as I mentioned, if you have prone to cold soares, you should be taking lyceine on a regular basis. So our lyceine tablets are on this little mini flash sale right now, so you can get a
wonderful price on ourlyceine formulation. For many women out there who are listening, who have maybe reached out to me, you know, either giving me a call or reached out to me via email and had concerns about bone health, you probably heard a response back from me saying add in one tablet, which is five hundred milligrams of our lyceine. The reason why I advise not just for women, but men as well. To take licene is because lysine one
of its actions is to help our intestines absorb calcium. That's important because say you're trying to do all the right things and you're trying to eat healthy You are eating green leafy vegas, for example, while those are loaded down with calcium. But we want to make sure that we are actually absorbing that calcium so it can make its way into the bloodstream and into our bones. So
lysine helps facilitate that process. And they've actually done studies where they have shown that women who are postmenopausa, who are more prone to osteoporosis or osteopenia, any type of degree of bone loss, do really well when they start to include lysen into a supplementation routine as far as maintaining healthier bone mass. So
very very key. So that's one little fun fact about lysine. Now, another thing about lysine that we have been able to recognize in the science world is that if your lysine exposure and your urginine exposure are low, this can actually lead to a heightened state of feeling anxious. So if you're listening and you say, you know, I do have a tendency to feel a little anxious, Maybe I should just go to Invite Health, get that L lysine
formulation that's on this flash sale and start supplementing with that. Just take one a day and you will be amazed by how effective lysine can be for kind of mitigating or you know, stopping that sense of anxiety. So and that's really very key. There was actually an interesting study that was conducted, gosh, this is probably almost two decades ago, looking at the oral treatment of using L lisin in combination with argentine to reduce anxiety. And this was a
human clinical trial. So they took a group of people who were all dealing with generalized anxiety and they said, well, let's give them some lysine and urginy and let's just see how they respond to this. And they could see this exponential shift in how they were actually feeling that anxiety sensation was going down. So whether you're dealing with anxiety, whether you are a chronic cold soar person, whether you have concerns about bone health, whether you have blood sugar
concerns. Because we also know that lysine works as a powerful anti glycater so when we have excess glucose that hooks onto things in the body and creates damage. We know that lysine does a wonderful job at stopping that process. Many times on the show you'll hear us talk about, you know, el car acetylelcarnatine and how that works to stop glycation reactions. But we also know that
other amino acids are doing this as well. So whether we're dealing with anxiety, depression, concerns about bone health, lysine is really going to be your go to because it helps not only with blood sugar balance and bone density and your immune system response, but it actually helps with energy production as well. So that's the fun when you think about different amino acids in all of the
ways that they can be beneficial. Hence, once again, why supplementing with either an individual amino acids such as just taking lysine by itself, or if you're taking our way protein islet or our plant protein, and the plant protein, I have to tell you, is very popular. We have a lot of folks who are really into our new plant protein that we have. It's powerful amino acid blend, wonderful for maintaining muscle mass. But we also know
once again that when you are supplementing with a protein powder. This is going to help your immune defenses. So we're still in the thick of it as far as cold and flu season, so we want to make sure that we have good coverage. So there's a lot of different ways that we can yield that coverage. So taking the immunity multi vitamin, taking the way protein powder, or the plant protein powder, taking your lysine. A lot of different things that you can turn to. So let me talk about a few other
products that are on this little mini flash sale. I had mentioned el Car, but we have the LCAR with Ala that is not on the flash seal, but carnatine by itself is, So we have a wonderful el carnatine formulation. This is once again a great way for us to yield the benefits of an individual amino acid. Know that carnatine is the driver to get those fatty acids that hang out on the outside of the cell, and when they're outside of the cell, they're not really doing anything for us. We need them
to make their way into the cell. So I would say carnatine is like the taxi driver. It stops buy and says, hey, why are you guys? Lingering out here. You need to be inside of the cell so that you can be made into energy, so picks them up, takes them into the inner core of your cell. Hence we get energy. But we
also know that it helps to maintain muscle mass. So there's a lot of different utilizations for carnatine once again, and you know, talking to one of our nutritional experts is always your best way to figure out which one of our formulations is best suited for you. I can't stress that enough because obviously we make many different products at Invite Health and they all serve a purpose. They
all have you know, powerful benefits to them. Because we're all unique and we all have different needs, it's important that you your supplementation routine is based off of what your goals are, what your past you know, medical history is, what any current you know, medical conditions that you're dealing with. And so this is why we always encourage you to take advantage of that free
service that we offer. You can stop buy one of our stores. You don't need to have an appointment to go in and speak with one of our nutritional experts. That we're open seven days a week, which makes it really lovely So maybe you have a really hectic schedule throughout the week and on a Sunday you say, you know what, I'm going to go in to invite health that I'm going to talk to one of the nutritional experts. They're there
to help you help yourself, so please take advantage of that. The other thing is, if you can't make it into one of our stores, we've made it really easy for you. You can just give us a call and we're happy to patch you through to one of our Nutritionness or you can go to our website and you can actually pick a day in time that works well for your schedule, because remember we're trying to minimize your stress to create stress for you. So you can pick a day in time and one of our
Nutritionness will give you a call. So that el carnatine that's on our flash cell, the lysine bill Berry extract. I love talking about Billberry extract the power of those anthosynins contained in Billberry extract. Obviously, when we think about bill Berry, we're always thinking about the active constituent that's derived from the Billberry, which is known as C three G. And what C three G is
is known as Cynodin three glycoside. Not that we necessarily need to know that unless you want to put that on your Bingo card for the day, but we need to know that C three G is very important for our light absorber in our eye, which is known as rhdopsin. As we get older, our redoption levels begin to decline, which is why when you hit you know, maybe forty ish and you go into a restaurant and it's a little dim and you're like, oh goodness, I cannot read this menu. Uh,
that's your redoptionin. That is your low adopsin. And maybe you find yourself driving at night and you're like, wow, I'm having a more difficult time than I did when I was twenty years old. That is due to low redopsin. So if we supplement with Billberry extract, this gives us this wonderful constituent, the C three G, which will allow for better redopsin. So
it helps to enhance our visual acuity in low light environments. So, whether you're in that dim restaurant or you're driving at night, taking Billberry extract quite
beneficial. But Billberry Extract when we partner that up, when you look at other anthocynanins, and you look at things like re rezvertral, grape seed extract, blueberry extract, any of those dark blue, purple red, pigmented fruits all power up our circulatory system as well, which is why they have such strong cardio protective properties to them, and they've all been studied in that setting.
So if you want to think about athosclerosis or you know, hardening of the arteries, and you say, well what can I do to target that, Well, first we need to change the diet. You know, that's always my number one go to. We need to address the foods that you are eating, need to have an adherence to a Mediterranean diet. But outside of that, then we look at well what does nature give us? So we think about the foods that would be included in a Mediterranean diet and then
we say, well, what if we can encapsulate that. What if we can take the power of blueberry extract, the power of billberry extract, and we put that into a capsule and we can yield all of those benefits for helping to support our endothelial cells. Those are the little cells that line your
blood vessels. So once again, taking the billberry extract is a way to not only fend off blue light from your light emitting devices, your computer screen, your television, of course, your cell phones, but also it's very beneficial for circulatory health and being that it is a powerful antioxidant, it helps to fight off free radicals that are coming into our body. And we know
that there's always free radicals that are trying to attack us. So some of them are externally driven, in others are internally made, but in any way that we chop it up. We know that our antioxidant capacity in the body has to be at a certain level in order for us to have cellular protection.
This is why, you know, as you get older and you look at different chronic disease states, you can look at diabetics and you look at their endogenous or their natural antioxidant levels, and you're like, oh, my goodness, like that that's really bad. You know, you look at a diabetic and you say, well, what's their coke ten level, what's their current, you know, superoxide dismutat level, what's their vitamin C level.
You can see all of those indigenous those natural antioxinant levels have been kind of just depleted, and due to that depletion, we still have daily assault of free radicals coming in, but yet we can't keep up with it, which is why you start to see that trend of disease states becoming more and more difficult to control. So your antioxidants, they're very, very important. So Billberry extract on our little flash sail. I do need to squea in a
quick break. When I get back, I want to talk about some more studies that have come out very interesting, one on heart disease. I just want to mention it just in passing. But stick around with me.

There wasn't much going on as far as you know, holidays for the
day. I think it was like national share a seed with somebody day. I didn't really know what that meant. So, you know, sometimes there's some interesting, you know, holidays that I like to mention on this show, but today not so much. But we can talk about football if you want. I'm always game for that. Now I will I will leave the football for another day. Hopefully the next time I'm on this show with you, I'm talking about the Lions and that they were victorious. But we will
see. I'm not getting over my skis because, as I always already explained to you, I'm not good at skiing. So but if you have not ever watched the Winter X Games, please like tune into that, like it's amazing to see what these kids, I call them kids, but just what they can pull off. It's just it's a it's just I don't know. To me, I'm always fascinated. I love all sports. I just have an appreciation for what people can push their bodies to do. And when it
comes to snowboarding, it just always surprises me. Now here's a study that just came out. Probably hear this on different news shows. I just wanted to mention it in Passing because to me, I was actually a little surprised. American Heart Association and in their their journal called Circulation, So in the Journal of Circulation, they had done a a pooling of a wide swath of the American public and they wanted to know what people thought the number one cause
of death was in America. And what they were surprised by was that over fifty percent of Americans did not identify heart disease as the leading cause of death in the US. But yet it's been the leading cause of death in this country for the past hundred years. So it's interesting, you know, when
you think about that. I think maybe when they ask people that question, probably a lot of respondents were saying, you know cancer as being the primary cause, but no, it is heart disease, which is why we focus so often on this show about the incorporation of the different nutrients, why they're
beneficial for your cardiovascular system. Why just being on a basic daily supplementation routine that includes coenzyme Q ten, that includes fish oil or are kril oil advanced, Why taking those omega threes are so important, Why taking magnesium on a daily basis is so essential. Understanding the connection between vitamin D and heart health. So we do zero win quite often on cardiovascular health in general. We actually have a wonderful blog series, so if you've never checked out our blog,
please do. Doctor Claire has done an amazing job breaking down the kind of the cardiovascular system in totality and then talking about different conditions, so whether that's you know, angina chest pain, you know, talking about chronic venus insufficiencyalking about mitro valve prolapse, many of the common conditions that people deal with. So I encourage you to go to our website and under the media tab
click on the blog. She does such a great job taking very technical information and breaking it down into a way that you say, oh, well, you know what that finally makes sense. And then she you know, gives some highlights on different products and why those tie in and talks about the science on those. So I encourage you to check out her blog series on cardiovascular health. It's just it's really enlightening. But that's why we do what we
do. It invite because we understand that the leading cause of death in this country is heart disease, and you can look at the influence of you know, lifestyle and how that can drive that number. Looking at diabetes, looking at you know, hypertension, all of the ways that our lifestyle is influencing that. And when I say our lifestyle, if you are following a standard American diet and you have a high intake of ultra processed foods, for example,
how that's going to affect your cardiovascular health. If you have high stress, how does that then affect your cardiovascular health. Well, we already know stress drives inflammation. An inflamed circulatory system is a huge problem. Now on a positive spin to all of this, at least we're finally getting to a point that cardiologists and not they're not all there. Let me just put that out there, but you're at least starting to see that. Cardiologists and other
traditional minded doctors are starting to recognize that inflammation is the problem. It's not you know, oh, it's the lesterols, the cholesterols, the cholesterol. I mean they always they hammer that home, you know, make you scared to death of eggs, you know, I mean it's the cholesterol. It's not the cholesterol. Obviously, having incredibly high cholesterol can be problematic, but
we also have to understand functionally what's going on with that cholesterol. You have to once again be willing to get under the hood and say, well, what are my particles? You know, it's not just about the total number. What are the actual particles? Like, are they big, you know, big giant cholesterol particles not so bad? Are they tiny? Are they small and dense? That's more of a problem. So we have to understand that we have to look at is my cholesterol going to raise my risk of
a heart attack or a stroke because it's become oxidized. That's more important than looking at that total cholesterol number. So I always encourage folks to get more comprehensive cardiovascular Looking at those different markers is going to lead you to a much healthier circulatory system and of course doing the right things, you know, adherence to a Mediterranean style way of eating, taking your nutrients from Invite Health, and just as a little side note, are ubiquen All sixty milligram is on
a special right now, so wonderful savings. If you are not currently supplementing with co q ten every day, no excuses. You need to call right now or go to our website invitehealth dot com and get that co q ten ubiquenol sixty milligram. Remember we use Conica, so Conica is the most well studied of all coenzyme q tens out there on the market. It has been shown in multiple human clinical trials as to why coenzyme q ten is so important,
How it drives energy production. It's working as an antioxidant, so it's protecting your endothelial cells. Remember the lining of the blood vessel. It's protecting that from any type of damage. And we know that as we get older, our body struggles with making adequate coenzyme Q ten. I always say, if you want to see co q ten in action, then you you just go to a park. I know it's wintertime right now, so it may
not be ideal. But if you go to a park and you just look at people's different ages and you say, wow, look at that five year old over there, just like pinging off at the walls basically, and then you look at, you know, someone who's teenager, and then you look at someone who's in their thirties, and then you keep going and you keep saying, wow, you know the younger ones, they're really you know, they have their they're quick to their step, and they have a lot of
energy. That's co q ten. That's co enzyme q ten working in your body. As we get older, that co q ten level it starts to drop. And it's not just that. There's medications that perhaps you're taking that make your coenzyme q ten level drop. And common medications folks, things like beta blockers for high blood pressure. So if you're taking anything that ends in olol like per panelol, matroprolol, those drugs will lower your coq ten.
So if you're on a beta blocker, if you were on a statin for your cholesterol, you need to make sure that you are supplementing with coq ten. As we know, not all supplements are created the same. So when you are supplementing. You want to use ubiquinol, not ubiquinone, so ubiquenol, and you want to make sure it is conica. So where do you
turn to invite health. We're the ones who offer the conica ubiquinal. This is the form that has been shown to have a much greater absorption rate, meaning that if you take just a standard run of the mill coq ten,
much of that can be subject to breaking down in the stomach acids. So how much of that coenzyme q ten that you take is actually going to make its way into the bloodstream, So you don't have to worry about that when you're using our ubiquinol, because our ubiquinal is the conica form, and the conica form has been shown to have this really high absorption rate, So our coq ten is on a special right now. So I mean think about this.
You can take your immunity multi vitamin, get this wonderful discount on that. You can take our coke ten U biquinol, get this wonderful discount on that. If you want to power up your cells with the support of carnatine, that's on special. Of course, Billberry extra because maybe you're sitting there thinking, you know, I'm on my phone quite a bit and I probably
am not getting enough carotenoids naturally in my diet. Maybe I should take this Billberry extract because this is a wonderful way for my eyes to get this high amount of antioxidant support. Maybe you have concerns, you know, when it
comes to your hair. Our biotin is on special right now, and biotin, once again, is one of those vitamins that serves many purposes, oftentimes misunderstood a lot of times when people think about biotin, then we only think about hair, skin and nails because it is necessary for the production of keratin, so that's the structural component found within the hair, skin and nails.
But we also know that biotin helps with sell energy production. We know that it's essential when it comes to the way certain genes in the body are expressed, and so supplementation with biotin can yield you, once again, many different benefits that perhaps you were not even aware of. So our biotin is on
special. We also have our white t TX on special. I do need to squeeze in a break, but when I get back, I want to talk about the multi purpose white tea extract that we offer and why this is a great product to add in as part of a daily routine during the rest of cold and flu season and beyond. So you are listening to Invite Health Radio and I will be right back. It is cold and flu season again.

I am doctor Amanda Williams. Remember if I'm ever talking about something on this show. Sometimes I skim through a study or something and you want more details, reach out to me. You can always shoot me an email A Williams at invitehealth dot com. That's a Williams at invite health dot com. So we're having this little mini flash sale and the white Ta TX is on this
special so similar to our Green TEATX. We know that when we're using this formulation in its liquid form, So you take two full droppers, add that in with about four to six ounces of water. You can have it, you know, regular room temperature. You can warm it up. It's not gonna you know, kill the catakin potency if you do drink it hot.
But we know that this is wonderful for the immune system. And we see multiple studies showing the effectiveness of getting those catechins that EGCG that's found in green Tea and white teeth for that to coat the back of the throat, because that leads to this ability for the immune system to be able to fend off different viruses. So it can be the rhino virus for example, that's the
common cold so or influenza. We don't want to have any of those viruses, you know, finding a happy place to hang out in our bodies. So if we are supplementing each day with the white TTX, we're sipping on this throughout our day. Wonderful benefits. But another little fun fact about the white tea is we know that white tea has been shown to have a very unique property to it, even maybe more so than green tea when it comes
to activation of our fat cells. So the natural thermogenesis is really profound with white tea extract. So maybe you're struggling with you know, trying to shed a few extra pounds. You also have concerns about it being called in flu season. There is your answer, white TTX. It's on this flash sail. We know that that white tea has been shown to be very beneficial what it's actually doing, and not to get overly technical, but in the Journal
of Nutrition Metabolism, they found that white tea extract induces lipolytic activity. What in the world does that mean? It makes the fat cells break down and at the same time, what was really interesting is that it stopped the creation of new fat cells. So it was taking existing fat cells and breaking them
down and at the same time impeding any new development of fat cells. So it's just a very interesting way to get the power of EGCG into your system is through the supplementation of our white TTX I remember all the benefits that go along with EGCG, because remember EGCG in and of itself, So that's the epigallo catochin gaylight that's found in the different t's that we know can downregulate one of the master drivers for inflammation in the body, and it's known as HMGB
one. But once again that really necessarily important because it's not something that you're walking around every day on the streets talking to people about HMGB one, so that doesn't really matter. But what we do know is that the EGCG can actually stop that from occurring, and in stopping that, this is where you see this exponential amount of recent search done on different inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid
arthritis. So the power of tea extracts is far reaching in the human body, and we know that when it comes to blood sugar regulation, blood cholesterol levels, that white tea extract, very very beneficial. So that is also on this flash though. So think about all these wonderful deals you can get bill Berry extract biotin. Of course, we have our carnatine, that lysine,
the white tea, all of these all on special. Now, there was another study that came out that I just want to mention in passing because I think it has a lot of relevance to it, and I do get questions from folks quite often, is it should I be taking additional zinc on top of what my multivitamin is providing me. So I'm using the Invite multivitam and I'm getting fifteen milligrams of zinc. Should I take additional zinc or is that too much? Well, we know that zinc is key beyond that of
just the immune defenses. We know that zinc is required for proper thigh roid function, so even for your metabolism, if you have kind of a little sluggish thyroid, yeah, you should be taking additional zinc. We know that
zinc is important for wound healing. So if you're going to go have some dental work done, or you have to go in for a minor procedure, or a major procedure, you want to make sure that you have adequate zinc in your system because it'll help with the healing after any type of incision, for example. But there was a study that just hit and it was in the Frontiers and Nutrition looking at a correlation between zinc and a reduced risk of
Alzheimer's. And this isn't new information. This has been you know, studied for many decades now looking at the association between zinc's status and the body and the development of Alzheimer's disease as well as just dementia. So this is kind of the interesting little fun facts that we know about different minerals. And when you start to say, wow, you know, I only ever thought of zinc as you know, if I get the cold, I should be taking
zinc. Now I'm starting to understand that zinc's pretty important when it comes to my memory. And one of the ways to which zinc is helping is through once again regulation of inflammation. So we have neuro inflammation that is occurring in the brain that's not a good thing. And we know that zinc can work, you know, synergistically with our other key nutrients, with those B vitamin with your omega three fatty acids to allow for better connections within the brain itself.
So don't want to get too much into to that particular study, but we do know that when it comes to brain health, we should not be dismissive to the importance of zinc and understanding that many Americans have inadequate zinc just coming from their diet alone. When it comes to micronutrient deficiencies in this country, it's quite alarming. Obviously, the big one is vitamin D. Knowing that over ninety percent of Americans do not get adequate vitamin D in their diet
each day. You can look at vitamin E. I mean, that's close to ninety percent of Americans don't get adequate vitamin E in their diet. So many different nutrient inadequacies that occur, which is once again why adherence to a Mediterranean diet is so important, so that we have a better shot at trying to get those nutrients in. But we always have to look to where where
do we gain extra coverage. This is where our multivitamins come into play, and then sometimes we need additional So maybe you are taking our performance multivitamin right now, but you know that you've got some underlying thyroid issues, then it would be advantageous to make sure that you are taking additional zinc. So these are just things once again to notate for yourself and have those conversations with one of our nutritionists, because once again they're there to help you help yourself.
Since I was talking about amino acids today, I do want to, uh, before we wrap up, talk about creatine monohydrate. There's been a big push in creatine lately. We've had creating in our product line for years and years and years. Obviously very beneficial for maintaining muscle mass. The majority of creatine and subwords of ninety five percent of creatine in the body is stored within
our skeleton muscles. But we do have a heightened interest in this country right now on creatine monohydrate supplementation, so I want to talk about that just outside of what we know. We know that if we are supplementing with creatine, it's going to be beneficial for maintaining muscle mass, hence why it's been studied in the setting of sarcopenia. But we also have to recognize that in its ability to support muscle mass, we're not thinking about people who are going to
the gym and trying to beef up. We're thinking about as we get older and we are more prone to loss of muscle mass, we have to think, well, what happens to the underlying skeleton. Well, we know that the skeleton itself, your bones start to weaken. As your muscles weaken, the bones weaken. So in the Journal of Clinical Medicine they talked about that.
They talk about the effectiveness of creatine supplementation when it comes to not only helping to support the strength and the muscle tone and the muscle mass, but also for that bone strength because you want to think about, you know, further down the road, you want to think, I don't want to you know, have weak bones, weak muscles and fall. So for fall prevention,
definitely, we want to think about creatine monohydrate. If you're not sure how to use that product, talk to one of our nutritionness one of a lot of different things. Take advantage of some of those products that are on the flash sale, including immunity multivitamin and our co Q ten.
