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 happy Saturday morning to everyone. We are having our Spring buy one, get one free sale going on. I know that you were informed about that last weekend by Jerry Hickey. Jerry was with you last weekend highlighting many of our formulations, and I am here with you this
morning to talk about some more of our products. We have so many products in our product line that are geared towards just overall wellness, but then we have very targeted nutrients like our cartilage HX that is such an excellent formulation and for anyone who deals with joint discomfort, joint pain arthritis cartilage HX, Folks, it's an excellent addition. Maybe you're already using our collagen HX or the college x AHA along with the biocurcumen five loxin, but the cartilage HX,
this is it's so unique. It's a special form of collagen. It's called type two under natured collagen, and it really just does such a wonderful job as far as regulating the immune function and the science behind how you see two is what the name of it is, so UC two stands for under natured type to collagen, and the science behind this is really so impressive, and to this day they continue to study it and find more and more of its
powerful benefits. There was a study that was published in the Journal of Integrative and Complementary Medicine back in twenty twenty two doing a follow up randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial of UC two, which is what we use in our cartilage HX formulation, and it really it's just so powerful and when individuals who are struggling with arthritis start to use this particular product, it's quite pronounced the benefit that you can yield from this product, and it's so easy to
take because it's just one capsule a day. There's no need to take more than that, folks. One capsule of the cartilage HX each day really is providing your immune system such a level of support that it helps to auto regulate the inflammation that occurs within the joint spaces. So, in this study that was conducted back in twenty twenty two, they took a group of individuals who were dealing with osteoarthritis. And you know, when you think about osteoarthritis,
this is the predominant form of arthritis. Now, interestingly enough, you see two was initially studied in the setting of rheumatoid arthritis. But we know that you see two and this is a registered trademark form of collagen. So it's a registered trademark meaning this has been studied in human clinical trials, which is
hence why we use that in the cartilage HX formulation. And so when we look at the setup for this particular study, it was really very impressive the time in which the individuals who were enrolled into this study started to see the very profound benefits of supplementation of UC too. So it's kind of like if they came to us at invite Health and said, hey, we know that your cartilage HX contains under natured type two collagen. We would like to set
up a clinical research trial to see the efficacy. How effective is this particular product going to be. Well, clearly we know at invite Health that this is going to certainly pack a punch. And this is why when we came out with this product so many years ago, it was based off of those
initial clinical research trials. So now we FastTrack in to you know, twenty twenty two and we say, okay, now they've redone this study and they are still seeing these really impactful ways to which type two under natured collagen is
actually working for individuals who are dealing with significant arthritis of the joints. So in conclusion of this study, they found that the group that was supplementing with type two under natured collagen had a significant improvement compared to the placebo group. And this is part of the reason why when I'm working with any individual who comes to me and says, you know, listen, Amanda, you know
I struggle just walking each day. It's very painful. And so I obviously always turned to using collagen HX because we have to have that type one collagen going into the system so that we can help to rebuild or restructure the joint space itself. But then I also look at the instantaneous benefits that go along with biocurcuman five locks, and so we add in that biocurcumin five locks and to really ease that inflammation and get people out of that jam that they're in
when it comes to the pain and to the discomfort. Now with the biocurcumin five locks, and I generally will say taking two caps twice a day when you're in a very acute pain state is the best way to use that formulation. Now, just for maintenance, one or two capsules a day is certainly fine, but if you are in a lot of pain, you want to increase the amount of Biokirkman five locks and that you're using. And then I'll
add in one capsule of the cartilage HX to their routine. Now, the reason why I add in that type one along with the type two is to really allow the body to have the best control and regulation over the immune system over activity that is creating all of that pain and inflammation within the joint. So you know, study after study continue to show that when we are using a product like cartilage HX, we really do get such a extreme amount of
benefit. Now does it work overnight. No, it does not, because remember what we're doing is we're working on immune system regulation, so we have to start to build up a steady state of this particular collagen into our system. Now, for many folks, they will start to see the benefits within the first week to two weeks. Now for others it may take eight weeks,
it may take twelve weeks. But in any case, we know that based off of the scientific research, the utilization of type two under natured collagen is going to lead to a improvement upon joint functions when we think about the flexibility within the joint, when we look at lowering the inflammation and lowering that pain. And for anyone who is dealing with arthritis, that's the one thing
that they want to go away. They don't want to have pain. So the studies on cartilage HX and the way it's been used in both rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis is so incredibly impressive, and I oftentimes go back to the way that they kind of stumbled upon Type two under natured collagen, because we know that collagen is the most abundant protein found in the human body, of which the majority of that collagen is in the type one variety. But
they found type two collagen. And the way that they did this was when they were testing out the theory the hypothesis of chicken soup, and researchers out at University of Nebraska and researchers at Stanford University. They said, well, you know, there's this theory out there that if you're feeling under the weather and you eat chicken soup, that you will start to feel better, it will improve, you know, your overall health, your sense of well being.
Is there any truth to that or is that just kind you know, of an urban myth. And sure enough, what they found was that it was the type two under natured collagen that was leading to this immune system response in a way they recognize that the type too collagen was actually working almost as like a vaccination for our immune function, but doing this in a very natural
way. And so they said, well, if this is working for you know, people who are under the weather and they have the cold and they eat chicken soup, and this collagen is working not so much in the joint, but working within the immune system itself. Well, then that's highly impressive. What if they stay on just that type two under natured collagen for an extended period of time, what benefits will we then see? And this is where they said, well, let's test this in the worst form of arthritis.
Let's use this type two collagen in folks who are dealing with the autoimmune variety, which is rheumatoid arthritis. Now, interestingly enough, we now know that osteoarthritis has that autoimmune component to it as well, just not to the severity that rheumatoid arthritis does. Rheumatoid arthritis. It's the immune system is actually attacking the joints themselves, and that's a very problematic thing. So so you start to look at the science and you go, wow, you know,
that's impressive. They gave type two undernatured collagen to individuals who are suffering with the autoimmune condition rheumatoid arthritis, and they found that within six weeks eight weeks, these individuals were having very impressive results. And so they went on and they did a larger study. They said, well, you know, is this just a one off? Was this just a you know, by chance,
we gave them this and they started to improve. So they did a really large study, and in that larger study they could see the significant improvement not only in the pain perception, which is key, but actually looking at these structural improvements that occurred when individuals were supplementing with that cartilage HX, the way in which the degenerative nature that arthritis creates within the joint space, and
they could see that there was this improvement that was occurring. And so hence we fast forward all of these years and this is why this particular product remains so popular in our product line. It is based off of that science. We understand how this is physiologically working in the body. And so if you're listening and you say, you know what, yeah, every time I go up a flight of stairs, you know, my knee just really hurts.
Maybe I get home at the end of the day and my knee is swollen and painful, and I don't want to have to, you know, keep turning to taking over the counter ibuprofen. Well, this is when you want to come to Invite Health and you want to talk to one of our nutritional experts so we can get you on the best routine to address your joint pain and inflammation, and it is likely to be a combination of supplementing with our collagen HX, taking one scoop of collagen HX each day. Now, if
you're not into powdered formulations, that's okay. We've got you covered because we have our collagen tablets as well. So taking the type one collagen to rebuild the structure, and then taking the cartilage HX to regulate the inflammatory response, and then as I mentioned, to get you out of that acute pain situation instead of having to turn to those over the counter ibuprofens and the likes.
This is when we add in biocurcumen five locks and remember the bio curcumin five locks and once again is using registered trademark nutrients that have been shown in human clinical trials to make a big impact on lowering inflammation. So I'm going to talk a little bit about Biokirkman five locks in, but I do need to squeeze in a quick breaks a stick around. I will be right back just after this.

Or go to invite health dot com Invite Health, Get healthy, Stay

As you just heard, we're having our spring buy one, get one free sale now, just talking about the cartilage HX and the uniqueness of this. So it's a type two collagen, so it's much different than supplementing with our collagen HX. For example, that's a type one collagen. But type one is key. So if we're sitting back and we're listening, and we're saying, oh, well, you know, I have concerns about my hair,
skin and nails. I don't want to have wrinkles, then we want to be looking at type one collagen. That is what is in our collagen HX. Now, if we are thinking about trying to regulate our immune system, then we want to look at the cartilage HX. Cartilage HX is that type two. And before the break, I said, I wanted to talk about Biokurcuman five locks in because this is such a superstar within our product line and it's so popular. It is a combination of BCM ninety five, which
is a registered trademark form of curcumen. Now, the reason why we use BCM ninety five is because the science dictates this. So when we look at the way in which tumoric itself is absorbed into the system, it has many struggles that it encounters. That's really the best way to put it. So if you are, you know, cooking with turmeric or turmeric, just depending on how you want to say it. Then does that mean that you're not
getting any benefit from it? No, that doesn't mean that. But if we want to be able to get the ability to really significantly lessen inflammation, lower our inflammation if we have arthritis for example, or say we strain our back and we want the pain to go away, then just taking straight turmeric as a spice is not going to do the wonders that we hope for it to do, because as we take that in in its natural spice form, it's going to lose a lot of its potency just through the digestive process.
So as soon as it encounters the stomach acids, it starts to break down. So if you have a diet that's high in too extract, does that mean that that you're going to get health benefits? Yes? Can it help with you know, blood sugar control, with cholesterol management, with detoxification, of course, But we're talking a consistent exposure to this. No, many
individuals do not have a consistent exposure to tumoric extract. So what we know from the science is if we take the turmeric root itself and then deep inside of that turmeric root, we have the kirkcumin and the kirkcumen has its own oils, so that's what the BCM ninety five is. So when you're supplementing with the Invite Health bio curcumin five loxin, you're getting the kirkcuminoid oils. And so now we kind of avoid this whole concern with losing any bio of
availability. It's going to be able to make its way through that harsher stomach acid environment and make its way into our bloodstream. So as it traverses from the stomach into the small intestines, it's now going to be taken into the bloodstream. And BCM ninety five has actually been studied that in that way, so we can see how when you supplement with BCM ninety five, this actually leads to upwards of a seven time greater absorption rate than if we're just using
a standard tumoric extract. So this is why this product really helps get people out of those painful jams that we can find ourselves in. So whether it's pain brought on because of joint inflammation so arthritis, whether it's pain because we pull the muscle, whether we just want to be using curcu. Because we
understand all of the many different systematic benefits that go along with curcumen. This is going to be the go to way to supplement and this is partnered up with Boswalia extract and the form that we use is known as five loxin. Five loxin is a registered trademark form of Boswalia extract. Once again has an incredibly high absorption rate, very targeted towards both the COX one, Cox two and the locks pathways. Do you necessarily need to know what those are?
No, but let me just kind of break it down real quickly. If you're using an over the counter and said, so ibuprofen, what that is trying to block is COX one. So this is a pathway in the human body that drives up in flation and because it's releasing these different cyto kinds. So the blockade of COX one, for example, is what can lead to the anti inflammatory effects of an n set. It's an ibuprofen. But we also know that with that comes side effects, the harshness on the kidneys.
You look at a set of menafin, very harsh on the liver. So we're taking biocurcumen or we're taking five loxin, those are both working on that COX one pathway. But what's even better is that they are also working on the Cox two pathway. Now you've probably heard of the prescription drug Celebrates came out many many years ago. I had a partner, biox, which they actually pulled off of the market because of cardiovascular death concerns. So you have
Celebres still out there. Celebres is a Cox two inhibitor, once again comes with a whole laundry list of side effects. So we say, well, what does nature give us? Nature gives us curcumen and five locks in. So we have the Boswelia extract, we have the Kurkumen extract. We know that these are working very efficiently to blockade those inflammatory cytokines that are released within both the locks pathway and both of those Cocks one and Cox two pathways.
So it makes an awful lot of sense that if we're in pain, if we have inflammation, if we have an acute injury for example, or if we have chronic pain brought on because of arthritis or another condition fibromiologia for example, then we want to be using the biocircuman five lox in because it's targeting all three of those pathways. Without the side effects. Plus we yield the
benefit of them being natural antioxidants. So at the time that we're taking them, maybe in our mind we're taking them because of our pain, but we have to recognize that we're also fighting off free radicals that come into our body from the environment that we live in, on top of free radicals that the body itself naturally makes. So it's a win win, And this is why the Biokirkman five locks in formulation to this day is our number one formulation.
We have so many individuals who have given us such wonderful testimonials on this particular product because as soon as they start using it, they can start to get that sense of wellbeing coming back. And maybe you've struggled with arthritic pain for years, and you say, you know, I've tried every type of endset.
I've talked to my doctor about, you know, maybe getting on something stronger and to no avail, And of course I'm running the risk of these potential side effects to go along with these prescription as well as over the counter end sets. And now I'm supplementing with Biocurcumin five locks, and I'm taking one capsule twice a day with food and I feel really good. And we understand this because we understand how these nutrents are working, and instead of dealing
with side effects, we get side benefits. So via supplementation of the invite biocurcumen five locks, and not only are we able to decrease our inflammation and our pain level, but we're also helped with brain health, targeting beta amyloid plaque build ups so that we have good memory, so that we're not having
concerns with dimension Alzheimer's. We are helping our body when it comes to blood glucose regulation, which is pretty important because we know that so many individuals kind of teeter on that edge of being a pre diabetic, and so supplementation of Biokirkman five locks and incredibly helpful for having healthy blood sugar level control throughout the
day. And then of course, when we think about our airways, the Boswelia extract that five locks and is incredibly helpful for opening up those airways. So if you have a past history of asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, maybe you have the common cold over the winter and you find that you have lingering effects in your respiratory airways and This is quite common, especially with different viruses rhinoviruses, influenza as well as coronaviruses. We know that they can have
those lingering effects on our respiratory health. So if you are dealing with that and you start to supplement with Biokirkman five loxings, maybe you've got knee pain, you're going to see the improvement upon respiratory health as well. So every single system in the body, and remember everything is interconnected, but every single system in the body can yield these really powerful benefits from this particular product.
From that Biokirkman five loxin liver health, we can see how those kurkumnoid oils help the liver better, facilitate daily detoxification. We can see how our cholesterol levels can improve when we're supplementing with Biokurcuman five loxin. So across the board,
there's only positives that go along with supplementation of this particular product. And being that we have so many individuals who have been using this product for so long and see those benefits, feel those benefits, that's the most important feedback that we can get. When I have worked with individuals who have a very high amount of daily chronic pain and they're just kind of at their wits end
with it. And then they come in to an invite health store and we say, you know what, let's have you go on the Biokircuman five loxin. Let's add some magnesium so we can allow the skeletal muscles to be more
relaxed. And within two three days, these individuals are coming back and saying this is literally like a miracle for me because I've been dealing with this for so long and to have such a significant improvement in such a short amount of time, this is something that I'm going to continue to do because I don't want to feel that pain anymore. I don't want to have this issue. So definitely, during this sale, during our spring by one, get one
free sale, check out the Biokirkman five locks in formulation. As I mentioned, so many systemic benefits that go along with that formulation. So even if you're supplementing and taking one capsule a day just for overall health and wellness and anti aging, it's a great choice. So I do need to squeeze in another break so I will be back with you just after this. Hi, Jerry Hickey here and Amanda Williams and welcome to the Invite Health Buy one,

So I was just looking and today is World Bear Day. I thought that was interesting.
You know, there's always every day of the year now there's some special event or special holiday, but today's World Bear day, so hey, maybe that's a good thing for the Oakland University Grizzlies, who are They don't want to be called a Cinderella team, but they are playing tonight. They are playing NC State, so we will see what happens. But they upset Kentucky,
which was just wild. As you all know, I am a huge college football fan but also a college basketball fan, so March Madness is here, so I've been watching the games, so I will be watching Oakland University and Michigan State. Even though I'm a huge Michigan fan, I always root for the Spartans during March Madness, so I'm loyal to my state. My home state of Michigan, and Oakland University literally was like right around the corner from
where I lived. So yeah, I'm super excited for all of those kids over there. An opportunity and experience of a lifetime. And I know that you guys have some March Madness going on up there up there in Brooklyn hosting some of the March Madness games, so very exciting time. But it is the Oakland University Grizzly in today's world bear day, so maybe that means something
I don't know. A couple of weeks ago, I had mentioned DGL, the deglystrinized licorice extract, and it was actually kind of interesting because just maybe it was the Tuesday after that Saturday show, there was a report that came out that of course made like national headline news like licorice root uh or having licorice, eating licorice is not good for your blood pressure, and well, yes, we know this, but this is why I talked about supplementation with
DGL because it has that deglystrinized licorice in it, so that's not going to impact your blood pressure. So I just wanted to mention that because I thought, well, how ironic is that I just talked about DGL and now here it is in the news that they're talking about straight licorice extract. And I don't want anyone to you know, confuse the two because they are clearly different. So the straight licorice, yes, that can have an impact on your
blood pressure. DGL, on the other hand, does not. And I was talking about using our DGL lozenges, so you just you know, chew on those or you just allow those to kind of dissolve in the mouth. But just how powerful that can be for you know, you think about cavities,
periodontal disease gingivitis. In the Journal of Anaerobe all the way back in twenty twelve, they were looking at the anti microbial effects of DGL when it comes to the most common form of bacteria that's known to cause dental cavities. So it's called strap mutants. So, which is not really a fun bacteria name. Huh, I love, you know, bacteria's what the first time I took a microbiology class, it was in my undergraduate and I was just
fascinated by it. I was like, wow, I mean, the names are sometimes fun, but just understanding how bacteria and viruses and parasites work, it's really quite fascinating. But the antimicrobial effects deglacernated licorice root extract has been shown to help to prevent human dental carries. What is a dental carry, It's a cavity. So, as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago when I was with you taking the DGL. So we have the spring sale going
on right now. Stop by Invite Health or go to our website invitehealth dot com and get yourself your DGL and you can chew on that and just think about all of the antimicrobial benefits that's providing. Because remember, folks, we do not want and I've talked about this on this show. I know Jerry Hickey has talked about this on this very program. We do not want to
be trying to use alcohol based mouthwashes. No, no, no, no, no. We now understand so much more so when you think about, you know, gurgling with mouthwash, we do not want to be doing that. I mean, first and foremost, try and go into any pharmacy and look at all of the mouthwashes and please explain to me the colors, the colors that they come up with for mouthwash, like why is it that color? And blue? Like what that looks like? Windex Right, So that's
the first key signal. Your mouthwash shouldn't have artificial color in it. Your mouthwash shouldn't have alcohol in it. And the reason why this is so important to understand is because when we look at the normal microbial environment within the mouth, we have our own little microbiome, our own oral microbiome. If we are using alcohol based mouthwashes, it's going to disrupt the normal microbial healthy us in the mouth, which are helpful for the release of amylase, which is
a enzyme to help our body ready itself for digestion. So if we're using these really bad mouthwashes because we want to have fresh breath, we are creating a lot of problems. On top of the fact, we're really disrupting the normal nitric oxide pathways in the body, which means we can now have problems with blood pressure control just because we wanted to have fresh breath. So what do we want to do well. We want to do things like using DGL.
If we have DGL, then we don't have to have those concerns when it comes to the bad bugs. We're using nature to fight off the bad form of nature without killing off are good, healthy bacteria in the mouth. Because digestive health in and of itself is actually quite complex. When you think
about digestion, Digestion doesn't just start in the stomach. Digestion starts as soon as we smell food, and then we get this release of these enzymes salivary amylase, so saliva based digestive enzymes, and that helps with the initial breakdown of the foods. So if we're using traditional mouthwash, we're now screwing up
that first step of digestion. And you look at how many Americans are affected with chronic digestive health issues, how many Americans are dealing with acid reflux, with irritable bowel, with you know, bouts of constipation, bouts of diarrhea,
having an imbalance in the normal acid environment. And we say, hmm, well, let's take a step back and let's look at the beginning part of you know, most Americans in their day, Okay, so they go and they grab this strange colored liquid and you know, they put that in their mouth and they swish that around and they are off to the races to start their day feeling quite fresh because they say, I just use the mouthwash, not realizing that that mouthwash maybe is going to lead to improper digestion of
their foods for the day. Of course, we're getting exposure to artificial color, which we know disrupts the lining of your intestines. This is now well known. Any type of artificial color creates havoc. It will start to eat away or wear a way the intestinal lining. So we don't want to be doing this. And now that we understand all of this, and we know, well, I can have a healthier oral routine. You know, by eating fruits and vegetables, you think about different fruits that can really provide a
significant amount of support for your oral health. And then we have DGL that has this antimicrobial property to it and it's been studied. This is all the way back in twenty twelve. So get yourself your DGL during this sale, and get some digestive HX as well. This is one of my favorite go to formulations for anyone who has a history of GI issues. So you know, whether you say I always feel kind of bloated, I'm always belching, I mean, these are also clues if you're a chronic belcher, please go
get an H. Pylori test done. Do not mess around with that. A lot of times people say, well, you know I've always just been a belcher. Well, maybe you've always been carrying around H. Pylori bacteria in your stomach and we don't want that. H. Pylori is a very prevalent bacterial infection. It's quite common throughout the entire world, and most folks, you know, by the time they hit middle ages, have likely been
infected with H. Pylori. But your immune system when you're younger, does a pretty good job of getting rid of that, not allowing that H. Pylori bacteria to start to take over. However, there are many individuals who their immune system doesn't do a good enough job getting rid of it, and that H. Pylori lingers and starts to multiply, and this is the most common cause for gastric ulcers. So if you have an ulcer, we always have to look at H. Pylori. So H. Pylori is a bacteria
and it is not our friend. It releases something known as monochloramine. Monochloramine is a very powerful acid. That acid eats away your stomach lining, hence leading to an ulcer. H. Pylori is also the most common cause when we think about gastric cancers, so stomach cancer. We don't want to fool around with this. So if you are listening and you say, yeah, I'm a big time belcher, I'm always burping, I always have a lot of bloating. At least go in and have an H. Pylori breath test
done. Doesn't mean you have to go in and do the endoscope and have them take a biopsy, but at least do the breath test, because if you do have it, you want to get that treated because it's not something you want to play around with. So that's just because we also know h pylori has now been linked with Parkinson's disease. There's a really strong association between individuals who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's that also have a concurrent H pylori lingering
stomach infection. So please don't mess with that. I want to talk a little bit more about digestive HAX, but I'm looking at the clock. I know I need to squeeze in one more break, so we'll get into some more digestive health on the flip side. I will be right back just after this.

We've talked about Biokirkuman five locks, and also keep in mind green tea. I'm gonna talk about digestive HX in just a moment, but green tea is another one of those really interesting extracts that just has so many systemic benefits. And Washington State University they actually studied the effects of green
tea extract when it came to rheumatoid arthritis. So the reason I was thinking about this is because we just talked about cartilage HX and its effectiveness against both osteoarthritis as well as rheumatoid arthritis. But green tea we know helps to regulate inflammation. It does it through a few complex different pathways. But this was published in the arth Rights and Rheumatology Journal, which is a journal of the
American College of Rheumatology. So I always like to mention these types of studies because this is where the comedic part of what I do comes in. Because Okay, this is a huge journal, you know, the Arthritis or Rheumatology Journal, and every doctor out there should probably be aware of a study like this. But I guarantee you if you went in and you talked to your doctor and you said, oh, you know, I have arthritis and I'm
taking green tea HX from Invite Health. It's a combination of green tea and black tea extract really powerful amount of EGCG and you know, I know, based off of the clinical research, this is just really great for joint health and helps to lower inflammation. I'll probably look at you and say, ah,
that's not true. What are you talking about. There's no science on that, But yet it's in one of the largest journals out there, the American College of rheumatology, So you go see a roomatologist and it's it wouldn't it would not surprise me if there's rheumatologists out there who would be dismissive to this study and the findings in this study. But really it was just so
impressive. I just wanted to mention that because since we're having the Spring buy and get one free sale, sometimes people are looking just to add in a powerful antioxidant to their supplementation routine and you're not sure, like, well,
which one should I take? And it can be difficult because when you look and you say, well, should I take green Tea HX or should I take the rizveritral max, And you know, for myself, it's hard to say which one is better because the science on both of them is so impressive. So it really kind of comes down to, you know, what your overall health and wellness goals are, what underlying conditions are we potentially dealing with. You know, if we're thinking about just general wellness, we have concerns
with, you know, maintaining memory and focus. I'd probably turn to the resveratrol max. Getting that powerful amount of trans risveratrol along with the corset and the grape seed extract. Now, if I do have some underlying issues when it comes to chronic inflammation, maybe I'm going to turn to the green tea achex. But in any event, they're both excellent, so can't you can't go wrong with either one of those. But I just wanted to mention that
study since I was talking about arthritis earlier in today's show. So now back to digestion. Digestive health is something that I think many Americans struggle with. Partly is because of diet, you know, and following a standard American diet is never going to be helpful to the way that our digestive track is supposed to work. So adherence to a Mediterranean diet is the most ideal because it's not putting a overabundant workload on our digestive track. But we know that as
we get older, the normal enzymatic release of enzymes goes down. And now they've they've gotten very clever and they have you know, what is known as pancreatic insufficiency syndrome, I think is what they call it. And so now you can go to your doctor and you say, oh, I'm having these problems with my digestion and they say, oh, well, we must put you on this prescription medication. That prescription medication that they're giving people for pancreatic
insufficiency is digestive enzymes, folks. So we have had digestive HX, which is a very powerful blend of the key enzymes that are required to break down all of the different food groups. So when we think about our proteins, carbohydrates, fats, so this contains liepace. Liepace helps to break down fats or lipids. It contains bromoline, which is a very powerful proteolytic enzyme from the stem of the pineapple. This helps to break down protein, but it's
also used to regulate inflammation in the body. So once agine win win and you get these side benefits that go along with this. It has pepsin. Pepsin is the key enzyme that is found in our gastric juices, so in the stomach acids. So as we get older, the normal accumulation and release of these enzymes and acids starts to go down, and that's an unfortunate thing,
but we have a solution to this. So once we hit maybe forty years old, sometimes people will start to notice a shift in their digestive health. Maybe after you eat a meal, you're like, wow, that feels really heavy, just kind of sitting there in my gut, and then you say, well, I wonder why that is Well, because of two different
things. One, your pancreas is not as quick to release those enzymes, the liepace, the amylase, the protease, the normal acids, the hydrochloric acid, and the pepsin are not as abundant as they were when we were younger. So we have this imbalance. So this can slow the digestive process down. The other thing is is the mechanical aspect of digestion. So the mechanical aspect of digestion also will start to slow down as we get older.
But we can help all of this along through eating the right foods, so not putting extra tax and wear on the body, and also taking digestive HX, taking one capsule ideally before your meal. Now, there's always outliers to all scenarios. I would say ninety percent of individuals will find that digestive HX taking it just before you eat is going to yield you all of the benefit.
There's always that ten percent where you may find that Taking your digestive HX at the end of your meal is what provides you all of that support and benefit. But we want to be able to absorb our nutrients, and it's not just about the foods you're eating. We also have to think about the
supplements that you're taking. And if we want to really truly enhance the absorption rate of cartilage HX or the collagen HX Biokirkman five locks and green tea rezveritromax, then supplementation with digestive HX each day before we eat can really help to optimize the way that the entire GI tract, including your intestines, are working, so we get the most out of all of our supplements. So digestion is key, and there are so many things that we do wrong when it
comes to the approaches to digestive health. Just open up a Sunday circular for any you know, major big box pharmacy company in this country, and they have two or three pages that are dedicated to all of the digestive health issues. You've got the you know, the bloating pills, You've got the stuff for heartburn, you have the stuff for gas. So we know that many Americans are struggling with this. So if you fall into that category, let
us help you out of that situation. So you come in and you talk to one of our nutritionness and if you can't make it in, you can always set up a phone call and have one of our nutritionists give you a call. You can do that easily on our website. But they will help you identify where you can make some small changes to your diet, to the foods that you're eating, to your exercise, to your stress levels. You know, maybe your stress is the predominant reason why you're having a problem when
it comes to proper digestion. And then adding in formulations like digestive HX, taking in DGL so that we make sure that we have that optimal beginning part of digestion working properly. So having that DGL each day can help create a healthy micro buy in your oral cavity, that's key. And then adding in formulations like probiotic HX so that we can also target the microbial environment within the intestines. So there are many different ways that we can get to that point
where our chronological age is not affecting our digestive health. And to think otherwise is to just not be proactive in this and we definitely know how we can achieve this. So working with one of our nutritionists, they can get you to the wellness goals that you have. Remember, if you happen to have questions for me, by all means, reach out to me A Williams at
