Hello, and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health, and Happy Saturday morning to all of you up there in New York. I hope that your day is off to a fabulous start. Mine was. I took my little kitty cat, she loves to go outside. I took her outside this morning and the famous green parrots were hanging out and they are really loud. Apparently they're a parakeet, but there was two of them up on the power line and they were
just talking away. They are incredibly beautiful. But I suppose if you had them living in like a tree in your yard all the time, that would be problematic. They hang out down by the beach. So when I take a walk down to the beach, you see like hundreds of them and they just they go into the sea grape trees, but they are beautiful. So I was like, oh, what a great way to start the day. And now
we get to talk about nutrition and wellness. And I have a super special bit of information to share with all of you today that we are doing something different. Not only do we have our normal radio special which is a buy one, get one free, we actually are doing an additional ten percent off just for today's show.
And if you use the promo code Amanda wor so Amanda WR when you call in, or when you go online, or if you stop by one of our stores, mention that to one of the supplements specialists that you are dealing with at the stores, and you will get an additional ten percent off, so wonderful savings. We want you to focus on your health and wellness and we want to be your partner in doing such, which is why we have our wonderful team who is available at your
service seven days a week. So do make sure that you take advantage of that. You can stop by, you can talk to one of our nutritional experts. They're helped to guide you through the process of wellness because it can be overwhelming. I certainly understand that myself. Goodness gracious if I can tell you how many times I've changed
up my routine. But at the end of the day, we want to zero in on, you know, what is it that our primary concerns are and what nutrents within the Invite Health Line are going to be best suited. And this is why we take a very personalized approach. Anyone can walk into just a random vitamin store and you're shopping around, and the people who are working there perhaps don't know what they're doing or don't have enough background, I should say, in terms of your your true health
issues that perhaps you're contending with. And this is what makes us so incredibly unique and why we've been doing what we've been doing for over twenty five years. So do make sure that you take advantage of that. I have many different things that I am going to be covering today, from thinking about, you know, the way in which we look at cholesterol and how we handle that, how we can go about approaching a healthy cholesterol management routine.
Sometimes we like to to make estral out to be our enemy, and that is certainly not always the case. Cholesterol is needed in the body, and if we are lacking cholesterol then this can certainly lead to significant issues. So we want to be able to avoid, you know, getting our cholesterol levels too low. But we also have to understand that really the biggest problem that arises is not the total cholesterol itself, but it's more so the inflammation that can be driven up because of damage brought
on by the cholesterol. So when we foundationally understand that concept, then we start to realize, well, cholesterol is not my enemy, but the inflammation component to that certainly is. Now there are ways that you can assess this through you know, different blood tests and the likes, and you can always reach out to us and we can give you, you know, a list of different tests that you should be asking for. Generally, your doctor's not going to do that. They just look
at total cholesterol. But if we can look at our oxidized LDL levels to see how much free radical damage is actually occurring on the cholesterol, that gives us a better insight as to our overall risk when it comes to cardiovascular disease. But for years and years and years we've been you know, told that cholesterols are enemy, and
it truly isn't. I'm going to get into hair health today too, and that's an area where oftentimes if we have low low cholesterol, or if we don't have adequate HDLs good cholesterol that's your high density lipoproteins, that can lead to to problems with the thinning of hair and
the loss of hair in general. Certainly, there have been some studies out there where they look at statin use, you know, the cholesterol lowering medications, and you know, does that have a wrecked link or correlation to loss of hair? And what we do know is if our cholesterol is too low and we're not doing anything to drive up the good cholesterol, yes, so you know there there is
a link. It's just one of those areas where I don't think enough research has gone into it with the direct side effect of statin drugs when it comes to hair loss. But certainly on my end working with individuals who have been on statin drugs for many years, this is one of those unwanted side effects that can go along with that because perhaps they seek out our support for you know, trying to get their hair to grow back and they're not exactly sure, you know, pinpointing what's
driving that, So we work on that. You know, what are the different factors. Is it an issue because it's a drug side effect. Is it an issue where it comes down to hormonal imbalance. So there's many different factors. But don't worry, you're in good hands. We are the experts when it comes to getting to that root cause. No pun intended when talking about hair, but truly getting to the root cause so we can find actual solutions
for you. So let's get right to it. Let's talk about cholesterol and understanding how many individuals are dealing with elevated cholesterol. Now, ding, ding, Ding, what is the big issue? The biggest issue? Yes, we can look at genetic reasons why someone may have elevated triglystrides, having a genetic reason why your LDL levels are high. These exist, We know this. We can't change our genes. Does that necessarily mean that you have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease because you
have these genetic conditions? Not necessarily, because remember, once again, we're looking at inflammation. We're not looking at that total cholesterol, and that's where we need to start. To get our brains to be thinking. You know, total cholesterol is one thing, but we really need to understand functionally what's going on with that cholesterol. How is it packaged? Is it big
and fluffy? Big and fluffy cholesterol is kind of goofy and it just pings around the body, and it's not creating harm and damage in the sense that small dense cholesterol particles can small dense cholesterol can actually make its way into your vessels, and then when that's you know, pinging around, that creates that inflammatory response, which is what
drives up that cardiovascular risk. So in any event, we want to try to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and we also want to make sure that we're taking nutrients that help to fend off oxidative stress and free radicals within those cholesterol particles and gives us a opportunity to drive up the good cholesterol. So that's your HDLs. So but as I said, Ding, Ding, what's the main issue. Yes, we can look at genetics, but we have to look at diet, and we have to look at sedentary lifestyle.
It's just a known thing at this point in time, you know, and we have to once again get out of this mindset of low fat. You know what happens when someone is just geared towards a complete low fat diet, Well, you're trading your fats, which in many cases are bad fats, and yes, we should be taking those out of the diet, but we're also at the same time incorporating in a higher amount of bad carbohydrates, which can in turn drive
up your triglyceride level. So it's a balance. And so this is why adherence to a Mediterranean diet where you actually are eating fats, but good healthy fats coming from things like avocados. Maybe that's what those parrots were doing in my backyard. Maybe they were checking out my avocado tree, which it has not produced yet. But that's okay. Patience is a virtue, and I shall wait until I can go out one day and have my beautiful avocados to pick.
But it's time. Everything in time. It's even like your health and wellness. Things don't change overnight. If right now you follow a standard American diet and you know that your cholesterol levels are high, you're likely not to, you know, revamp everything in your life in one day. But you can start to take small steps that get you on
that right path. And it's amazing because when people start to, you know, make those modifications, how much your energy levels can start to go up, and then you start feeling really good and then you're like, hey, I want to stick with this, so seek out our help. We will help you with all of those different factors, not just selecting the right formulation for you, but that comprehensive approach, and that really does matter. So we have a very
interesting formulation. And I call it interesting because I remember so many years ago when I first came on board at Invite Health and talking to Jerry Hickey and you know, really kind of picking his brain because he is such a master at product formulation, and I remember seeing the Stare Alls Plus and I thought, wow, this is really
such a nice blend and so easy to use. It's a powder formulation, but the way in which Jerry masterfully created this product so many years ago looking at it from the science side, So when I came on board, I'm going through, you know, understanding the Invite Health product line and that particular product. It stuck with me because I thought, wow, you know, he's using Reggie's rice in this formulation, and we know Reggie's rice is nature's stanton drugs,
So nature per us so many things. And we always have to keep this in mind that before there was big pharma and drug companies existed, what natural things. So when people become dismissive and say, oh, you know Reggie rice, that you know if you have a doctor that tells you that, well, where do you think the idea of a staton came from? From Reggie rice? And as a matter of fact, there's actually two of the prescription stanton drugs that are still derived directly from reggie rice. So
we know its efficacy and its safety profile. So looking at the sterolls plus formulation, it contains reggie rice. So one serving is giving you twelve hundred milligrams of reggie rice. We know that that's a very effective amount when you look at these scientific studies that have shown the benefit of daily supplementation of Reggie rice, that is a key mark that you know, getting a thousand milligrams or higher.
And so this this formulation has twelve hundred milligrams. And then it's partnered up with beta glucans, so it has oat beta glucans, so they're derived from oat. So once again we're looking at natural source. So you have the oat beta glucans, which for me, this is what really kind of made this product so interesting because not only do we know when people think about eating oatmeal, how that's heart healthy, Well there's a reason for that. Not only is it the fiber in that, but it's the
beta glucans. Now what's interesting is those beta glucans are also very powerful immunomodulatory nutrients. So as I'm looking at this products, I was like, wow, you know this is not just a product for management of cholesterol. This is a product that fights free radicals, fights oxidative stress, and helps to bolster up and support our immune system. So how unique is this? And it wasn't just it stopped. There wasn't just the partnering of Reggie's rice along with
those beta gluecans. It also contains plant sterols and it contains cranberry extract. So the combination of these nutrients all partnered up together, which you can get in one single scoop, and I advise taking it in the evening because our cholesterol is metabolized at night, so it's always advantageous that when we're targeting cholesterol that we want to do that later in the day, so taking a scoop of this with your dinner or even after dinner, that would be
the most ideal way to go about using this. I want to talk about some of the scientific studies behind the sterols plus formula, but I do need to squeeze in a quick break, so stick around with me. I will be right back just after this. Listening to this radio show makes learning and saving easier. For today's featured product specials, call eight hundred sixty three two zero five seven to two.

Wonderful wonderful savings. So now let's look at the Sterarells plus formulation and have this understanding of why this particular product caught my eyes so many years ago, the way
and whay which these nutrients are working synergistically together. So they're all put together in the same powdered formulation, and they make friends with one another, and they all work
for a common goal. And that common goal is to protect your cholesterol from becoming oxidized, because we know that that's very dangerous and then we have that oat beta glue can which is supporting our immune system, great for cold and flu season, but it is also working to regulate healthy cholesterol transport, which makes it very beneficial for those who do have concerns with having elevated cholesterol. And like I said, we don't always want to focus on
just the total number. We want to delve into that much deeper. I have had conversations in the past. I'm friendly with two interventional cardiologists, and they both practice functional cardiology, which is a very unique thing in and of itself because most cardiologists are very standard and they recognize they're like, you know, if a patient comes to me and they just bring in their standard lab and it says, you know, I am mister Smith, and I have you know, total
cholesterol is two hundred and thirty. My LDL level is you know, one point fifteen, Like that doesn't mean that much to him. It's just random numbers. They don't really have an understanding of what those numbers actually are indicating. And so this is why going deeper into those different tests really can make a difference in terms of what you're doing lifestyle modifications, diet, exercise, and as well as
the nutrients that you are taking. So we know that if we're taking our sterol's plus formulation, not only are we optimizing the way in which cholesterol is being transported and helping to support healthy glucose and insulin release, because once again those oak beta gluecns are going to be very helpful. Same thing with those plant sterols, and we
know that the cranberry extract. This is quite fascinating because this allows for a powerful anthosignin coming from the cranberry, that powerful antioxidant to go in and find those particles of cholesterol that are potentially in that danger zone and helps to remedy that. So study after study and in the Nutrition Review Journal back in twenty eleven, they looked at the cholesterol lowering effects of beta glue cans and this was a study that was conducted to our neighbors
to the north up in Manitoba. Never been to Winnipeg, I'm sure it's quite beautiful and probably cold too, so probably not ideal for me. Maybe a quick trip, but not to stay. But they did an extensive study where
they did a meta analysis. So it's a popular of multiple clinical studies looking at the safety and efficacy of using oat beta glue cans when it comes to cholesterol management, and that is what they found that pulling all of that data, looking at those data points, they said, yes, when people have regular exposure to oat beta glue cans,
you get this overall improvement of total cholesterol. You start to see that the HDL, those good healthy cholesterol particles, that those are starting to go on the rise, and that the bad cholesterol, the LDL, starts to go down. So this is why this particular product for those who are listening who know perhaps from your recent blood tests and maybe that your doctor says, yes, your cholesterol is
too high, we may have to consider a statin. This is when you want to reach out to us and say what can I do and through the use of a formulation such as the Sterolls plus in combination with those lifestyle modifications, working with our nutrition team to help you maybe swap out little things. Now, what do you currently snack on during the day, What does your regular dietary meal plan look like? Where are there opportunities for improvement?
And then we add in the ster alls plus formulation, which is giving you this comprehensive approach that Reggie's rice is targeting the HMGA CoA reductase enzyme. Not that we need to get technical, but if we look at what a statin drug, it's mechanism of action, it's an hmg CoA reductase inhibitor. Well, that's what your Reggie rice is
actively doing as well. So excellent formulation. Like I said, the best way to really use that product is going to be in the evening, ideally with dinner or just after dinner, and that is going to yield you very powerful benefit if it's for not only your cholesterol, but beyond that. Like I always say, I like to talk about the side benefits as opposed to thinking in the world of medications where we deal with side effects. We're going to get wonderful side benefits that go along with
supplementation of this formulation and even that cranberry extract. Clearly it's very beneficial for heart health, but we also know it's very helpful when it comes to bladder health, for GI issues, for individuals who maybe have a past history of gas stritis, inflammation, maybe infection that has occurred in
the stomach. We know that the cranberry extract creates kind of a I always describe it as a slippery slope, in particular when you're looking at your bladder for those who have chronic urinary tract infections, what cranberry extract can do in the powerful anthoscignans, I always describe it as it creates this in a way, an environment that makes it very, very difficult for bacteria to adhere to and
create problems. So with that in mind, you may be taking the sterolls plus formulation because you're concerned about your cholesterol, but you get these other benefits that go along with it, including support for your immune system, cardiovascular system in general, and for your bladder. So wonderful, wonderful product there. Now, let's shift focus and let's think for a moment about our hair and what we should be kind of zeroing in on when it comes to a comprehensive approach to
hair health. This is a topic that is much more common than I think, perhaps we even talk about on this show, because we have so many individuals who you know, reach out to us on a regular basis, whether that's coming into one of our stores or you know, emailing me, calling, and they have concerns when it comes to the health of their hair. They always say, you know, I just feel like, you know, once I hit fifty years old, my hair just it doesn't seem it's just it's losing
its luster and or it's starting to really thin. What can I do? And this is why the discussion on hair health is so important because many times it is multi factoral. And when thinking about that that multi factoral issue with hair health, we want to be able to say, you know, what are some of the issues that can arise. Well, we can look at thig raid dysfunction. We can look at men going through Andrew pause and women going through
menopause as being called Brits. We can look at lack of dietary nutrients as far as the vitamins and minerals that help us support the structural integrity and the health of the hair. So there's a lot of different things on top of you know, environmental UH factors and you know what you're applying to your hair. You know, when you wash it or if you're styling your hair and you're putting a product on it, you know, does that contain parabins or thalates? If so, stop using those and
fine clean formulations there are so many available now. But looking at the structural aspect of this number one, we want to find that root cause. We want to know is it the underactive thyroid that's driving this, Then how do we address that. Is it that my you know, testosterone or esters levels are playing a role into this, Then we want to address that. We always want to find the main reason that's driving this and identify that and then start to work on that. But the things
that we do already know. We know that collagen plays a huge role into the health of our hair as far as the structural integrity of the hair. And many times when people think of collagen, you're thinking the hair, skin, and nails, and that's not a bad way to think of collagen. But we know that collagen does so many other things bone health, your joints. So when we're identifying a routine to address hair concerns, this is what we want to really be able to zero in on. We say,
what do we know about collagen? Well, we know that the predominant type of collagen in the human body is type one and what we know about type one collagen is that we continue to lose collagen stores as we grow older, which can show up in the form of us visibly seeing fine lines and wrinkles, can show up in a lackluster hair quality, It can show up in the form of sore achy joints. It can show up in the form of cardiovascular issues. So these are known things.
If collagen levels are going down as we grow older, the remedy to that is we replace it, we replenish it. But it's not always so cut and dry, because not all collagen sources and the way in which the collagen is made for you to take as a dietary supplement is the same across the board. So we have to be very diligent when it comes to our collagen supplementation. And luckily for you, we offer the most tested, well researched form of collagen that you can get your hands on.
It's called peptan B, and our peptand B is found in not only our collagen HAX formulation, but also in the collagen tablets, and this can lead to a much better response when it comes to the health of not only your your hair, but your skin, your cardiovasar system, your joints. I want to talk about the science behind this particular nutrient, this protein and how it can help you, but I do need to squeeze in a quick break, so stick around with me. I will be right back
just after this. Listening to this radio show makes learning and saving easier. For today's featured product specials, call eight hundred sixty three two zero five seven to two.

Happy Saturday morning to everyone. As you just heard, we are running a special for today only, So so if you're tuning in, you're hearing me talk about those stare alls plus the Collagen HX,
which is our blended powdered formulation, the collagen tablets. Those are all on buy one, get one free, but today you can get an additional ten percent off by using the promo code Amanda Wor you can do that three different ways. You can use that code online, you can give us a call and tell them that you've been listening to WR this morning and you would like to take advantage of those additional savings. Or you can stop by one of our stores and let them know that.
Now the peptan B five thousand, this is what is contained in our collagen tablets as well as the Collagen HX. Does it matter which one you use, No, we're still getting our peptan B, So it's really a personal preference. I will say a caveat to that. The collagen HX is enhanced with Boswelia extract and silica, so it's giving additional support when it comes to the health of your hair, skin, nails, joints.
But for some folks maybe they don't want to use a powder, and so this is why we still want to offer that powerful peptand beat when it comes to your hair, skin, nails, and beyond. We know that the peptan beat, what makes it so unique is the sourcing of that collagen peptide. Not all collagen peptides are going to actively absorb properly into the system because remember it's
a protein. What does our body naturally do with protein when we ingest it, It tries to start to break it down, and it does that initially in the stomach, and we have this release of different enzymes that are coming from the pancreas as well. And so if that collagen hits the stomach and we have these proase enzymes that start to break down that protein, then we're not necessarily going to be obtaining a high enough of that collagen into the system to create the benefits to which
we are looking for. So what does that mean for us? It means we have to use a form that has been shown to be able to bypass that harsh environment and make its way into the bloodstream to actually produce the benefit for your hair, skin, nails, and beyond. And that's what the peptand B that we use in our collagen tablets and the collagen HX will yield for you. This is the starting point when we're thinking about the health of our hair. We know that we've had collagen
loss since we're twenty five years old. So by the time we get to fifty sixty years old, a good fifty percent of our total collagen in the body has diminished away. So we want to replace that. So that's step one, step two as we add in hair enhance. The hair enhance formulation is incredibly comprehensive and it is a product that when formulating this, I spent an awful lot of time looking at the scientific research and understanding how natural nutrients can work together for a common goal.
And that may sound very simple, It was a lot of detailed research behind the hair enhance formulation. But I started to recognize that the more and more encounter that I had with individuals who had this complaint or concern about hair loss, it comes from so many different factors. It can come, as I mentioned, from hormonal imbalances. Maybe that's your sex hormones, perhaps that's your thyroid. Is it because you're a diabetic and the glycation that excess glucose
is creating a problem within the hair follicle. We know stress is a major player in this nutritional deficiencies. So taking all of that in mind, this is why when you look at what's contained in the hair enhanced formulation, it's very very comprehensive. So it has the things that you would probably think about. Biotin. Most people have heard biotin. That's very important b vitamin. So yes, it has your biotin, but it also has zinc because zinc we need for
thyroid support. So if there's a potential that the diyroid is driving this issue with hair loss, we want to make sure we're getting exposure to zinc. We know that the zinc also is very helpful for that structural integrity. It has saw palmetto extract. How some of you, your ears may perk up and go, oh, yes, I've heard of saw palmetto. That's good for prostate health. Why why
is it good for prostate health? Because it blockades the pathway and both men and women by the way of how testostroone is being converted and if we start to have an overconversion of testosterone into dihydro testosterone, we are going to experience problems with hair loss. And the same as if men start to create too much dihydro testosterone, this can create what BPH so an enlarged prostate. So this is why the saw palmetto is in this formulation.
And then it has catase. Why is there catase in this Well, most people understand that the hair as we get older is prone to premature grain, and many folks don't like this, so maybe they're out getting you know,
different hair dyes and things like that. But one of the reasons why we get grain of the hair is because we have too much hydrogen peroxide that is building up in our system as we get older because we have lost the key antioxidant in the body through the aging process that regulates that and that key antioxidant is catase. So we know that catase. If we can build that natural antioxidant level back up, it helps to regulate that hydrogen peroxide much better. Again, so this is why catalyse
is in this formulation. Then it has methinine, cystein, argining all these very important amino acids that work for the structural integrity. The arginine helps with nitric oxide release, which helps to open up the hair follicles. We get better growth through the hair follicle. So we say, okay, we have all of our amino acids. We're getting our vitamin, we're getting our mineral, we've got our catalyse, our saf palmetto.
It also has a registered trademark form of natural vitamin E that has been studied in human clinical trials to show how effective it is for the promotion of new hair growth. It is called evanol max. It is a trademark form used in studies that shows it can help hair grow. So of course this is going to be in this formulation. And then there is something else that's
very interesting, and that is apple fruit extract. And you may think to yourself, why is apple fruit extract in this Well, I shall tell you because in the Journal of Medicinal Foods back in twenty eighteen they published the findings to a really interesting study that they had conducted where and this is oftentimes how these clinical studies arise.
They see something and they say, you know, is there a correlation we have this you know area of the world where people are you know, having this high intake of these apples and then we're looking at their hair and they all have this beautiful hair. Is there a
correlation to this? And so they test the hypothesis and sure enough, when they started to identify that the apple polyphenols, the powerful antioxidants derived from the apples, and we source these from a particular area in Italy, that this actually helps promote hair growth because it's working to enhance keratin expression.
So on a genetic side, it's incredibly fascinating, but on a just everyday side, why would I want to take hair enhance Well, because it contains this unique apple extract that has been shown to activate a gene for keratin and allows for the hair to gain its strength and to help to regrow. So it's a very very comprehensive formulation. And you know, is this something where you take two capsules and you think you're gonna know your hair is
going to grow overnight. No, because remember we're combating a lot of things that have happened through the years. We're dealing with high levels of oxidative stress, We're dealing with inflammation that has done damage to the hair follicle. So we have to give it time to start to remedy
and repair that. But through the continued use of hair and hance, with this blend of all of these nutrients that are targeting the hormonal imbalances that are targeting these stress factors oxidative stress, we know that we are going to be heading down that path to healthier hair, to the regrowth of hair, and for overall strength and integrity of the hair. And then we partner that with either our collagen tablets or that collagen HX so hair enhance.
I cannot speak enough of this. And I see a lot of different products out there where you know, they talk about, you know, oh, this is the best product in the universe for hair health. It's it's interesting sometimes, you know, I because I like science, I will look at what's actually contained in these different formulations and the amounts of the nutrients that they put in. It is safe to say that many of the different hair formulations hair supplements that are out there are just kind of
you know, window dressing. It looks good, it sounds good, but is it going to be effective? And that true answer is no. When you look at the science and you say, well, I know that I need to be having X amount of said nutrient to actually get this benefit. We know if we put two hundred and fifty milligrams of the apple fruit extract in this this is what has been shown in the clinical studies to work. So why would we make a product and put fifty milligrams of that in. We can't expect it to work if
it's at that lower amount. And so this is what makes this product. It is based on that science. It's based off of all of the multiple clinical studies done on these nutrients to show how they can work to enhance hair growth. So that's why it's called hair enhanced HX. So check that one out. It's lovely to partner up in addition to that collagen HX or the collagen tablets. So this particular formulation definitely one that you don't want
to overlook. If this has been a concern that you've had, and you know, maybe you're just starting to see this for men and women who experience what is known as male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. We know that the problem is coming from that conversion of testosterone to dihydro testosterone. We want to be able to blockade that and that's where that saw palmetto extract comes into play and it's not. Once again, you look at the science.
This has three hundred and twenty milligrams of saw palmetto extract in it. This is why it works because it's not like here, here's seventy five milligrams of this. It's the amount that has been shown to be clinically effective from all of the multiple clinical trials out there. So can't speak enough on that partnership between the collagen and the hair enhance and you stick with that routine and
you will see those benefits. Now what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna take another break, our final break, and when I get back, I have more nutrients that I want to get into. Just thinking it's cold and flu season. I never want to drop the ball on that because we do want to pay attention to our immune system and how we can help to enhance that. So stick around with me. I will be right back just after this. Listening to this radio show makes learning and saving easier.

Don't forget that. It's today,
today only now cold and flu season. It's upon us. We can't ignore it. I've been talking over the last couple of shows with you about the time change and how that can affect people's energy levels. And if our energy stores start to drop, that can also in turn lower our immune defenses. So I have different formulations that are on special today that zero win on giving us the immune system coverage, but also encouraging a healthy energy response. And energy levels can go down and get depleted for
a variety of different reasons. Stress. There's a lot of factors we can look at. Chronic disease states that diminish energy. You know, if you're dealing with arthritis, if you're in a low energy state. If you are a diabetic, you're in a low energy state. If you have heart disease, low energy. I mean, we can just keep on going
down the list. If you have any type of condition that you're contending with that depletes your energy because your body is trying it's darnedest to fix that and in doing that, it utilizes up all of the cell energy. So this is when we turn to energy checks, which I believe I talked about a couple of weeks ago. But this is the partnering of gen syng extract along with the ubiquinol, and it's that conica form that we use. The conica ubiquenol is the most well studied form of
coenzyme Q ten that you can be supplementing with. And then this is partnered with gen sync and the gen sing we know is an energy maker. So we take this herb extract called gensing. We know it helps to trigger the mitochondria, the inner core of the cell to start to make energy. This is important because it's working alongside of our coenzyme q ten conica ubiquinl and so
the two together really help to activate energy production. We also know that gensyng is very helpful for the lining of our blood vessels, to protect those end of the illeal cells, to help to enhance blood flow to the brain, so for cerebral circulation that's key, and it fights oxidative stress and neuro inflammation, all very very important and at the same time it's really good for your immune system.
So it's a win win across the board, and I always say, if this time of year you do kind of feel like your energy levels are down, taking Energy HX perhaps with your lunch or you know, mid afternoon, very good idea. Can you take it first thing in the morning. Sure, by all means you can. Best way to use any of our formulations is to speak with one of our nutritional experts and ask those questions, say, this is what my day is like. You know, I
usually start the day off and I'm dragging. Okay, maybe we need to put that energy HX in first thing in the morning. But maybe you wake up and you're like, I have lots of energy, but come mid afternoon, I just feel like I'm crashing. That's when we would want to in that energy HX at lunchtime. So we always want to personalize these supplementation routines for you. So Energy HX that is on Special. That's the partnering of the
gen Zing plus the Konica Ubiquinal. I also have the probiotic Immune on Special today, and we know that this is a really nice way to get an enhanced microbiome coverage. Your microbiome is the environment of the little bacteria that reside in your intestines. Remember, seventy percent of your immune defenses is intestinally based, so we don't want to overlook that, especially if you are one of those folks where your
diet trends more towards that standard American diet. Because if your diet is more towards the standard American diet with many ultra processed foods, we know that those foods are not doing much at all when it comes to supporting the lining of your intestines, nor are they helping to create a healthy microbial environment. So probiotic immune is a blend of four different very powerful healthy bacteria partnered up
with vitamin D and zinc. So vitamin D and zinc and this should you know, send off those flags in your brain saying well, yes, I know vitamin D and zinc are both very important when it comes to the health of my immune system because we clearly know that without adequate vitamin D or without adequate zinc, the immune system is already struggling. So this is why we have added in zinc and vitamin D to the probiotic immune. So it's very easy to take one capsule a day.
You can do that first thing in the morning, and this is setting the tone for you for the day to allow your immune system to have this heightened ability to fend off any of those little pesky pathogens that you may come in contact with. And we know as we get into the holiday season this becomes more and more pronounced where people are more likely to come in contact with a particular virus. So we want to make sure that we're giving our bodies a fighting chance. So
maybe you already take our probiotic HX. Can you also take the probiotic immune? Is that going to be too much? No, it's not, and it's actually a very wise idea to be taking both during cold and flu season, just to get that extra coverage. Now, here's an interesting little tidbit of fun information that came out of the Journal of the Endocrine Society looking at vitamin D. I remember I
always like to talk about side benefits. Now, why would vitamin D be showcased in the Endocrine Society journal Because vitamin D is technically a hormone. An endocrine system is your hormone system. So they looked at how if you are overweight and you have low vitamin D levels, this is directly linked to an increased risk of hypertension, so having high blood pressure just because you don't have enough
vitamin D in your system. And this was a really large double blind, randomized controlled trial that they did on men and women over the age of sixty five years old, and they were looking at their BMI, so looking at their weight, and then they were looking at their serum vitamin D levels. Then they gave one group vitamin D to supplement with and the other group was given the
sugar pill. After looking at this for one year, so this is a long term study, they could see a direct connection between those whose serum vitamin D levels were starting to increase into healthier ranges and better regulation of blood pressure. So just little fun fact they're about vitamin D might be something that you don't think about. Maybe you are thinking vitamin D and bone health and immune health, but also very important for circulatory health and cardiovascular health
in general. So probiotic immune excellent choice as an add on during cold and flu season or if you have an underlying you know, autoimmune condition. This is definitely a go to probiotic that you would want to be adding in. You get that wonderful exposure to the zinc and that vitamin D also have the Green te TX. You have heard myself, you have heard Jerry Hickey talk about this product tie in time again. It is such a nice way to encourage a healthy antioxidant approach to fighting free radicals.
But we also know that when we're taking the Green Tea in this liquid form, we get this really high amount of those powerful catkins known as EGCG. And it's that EGCG that can actually coat the back of your throat, which is really important because when you're thinking about most viruses in their entry way into the human body, it's respiratory. So we're breathing that in and so through that nasofernex process, you know, breathing from the nose and then it goes
down the throat. This is why green TTX. So you take two full droppers of this particular product and you add that in with maybe four ounces of water. You can certainly do eight ounces of w that's fine too. It's not like the more water you add you're somehow diluting the power of those caatekins. So just keep that in mind. But this is a nice way for us
to gain additional immune system support. Plus we get all of the side benefits that go along with Green Tea extract because we know this is very effective at regulating inflammation. So if we're dealing with heart disease, if we're dealing with arthritis, this is a nice way to power up our body to have better control over inflammation and at
the same time we're enhancing our immune defenses. This particular product is definitely one of those favorites during this time of year, and the fact that it's on special today along with that additional ten percent off using the promo code Amanda War is the reason to take advantage of that.
