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 New Year to everyone. I was last with you just before we entered into twenty twenty four, so we're off to a good start, well at least I am for twenty twenty four. As you all probably know, I'm a huge Michigan fan, so winning the National Championship
game this week was highly exciting for me. I will admit I was a little nervous. Had to turn to that bottle of theanine before the game so I could remain calm, and that's my go to I give that advice to anyone who is heading out to any sporting event or something that drives up your your angst a bit is stop by invite health and get some lthenine. That is that wonderful amino acid that is derived from green tea, and it just does such a great job. It's very fast acting, which is a wonderful
thing. It's not one of those supplements where you need to, you know, take it for three months before you start to see the difference. So
not that those are bad. Look at a product like cartilage HX, for example, we have to build up a nice steady state of cartilage HX before you really start to see the true benefits, which is why the clinical research studies on type two under natured collagen, which is what's found in cartilage HX, that is shown to be effective right around that eight week window of taking. Now that's not to say that people don't see the benefit of that within
the first week, because we're all unique and we're all different. So but but in any event, althionine is quick acting. So if you are going to be heading out to a football game, I know in New York that's not the case. I still have hope because uh the Lions they get to play tomorrow should be interesting. We have the return of Stafford back in Detroit, so we shall see and Uh. I will definitely be tuning in tonight just to see what happens with with the Dolphins heading out to Kansas City.
Goodness gracious, it's going to be cold there. I think, uh probably the fans may may decide to stay home. There's always those brave fans. But I mean, that's incredibly cold, is what they're expecting. I think it's supposed to be like minus five at kickoff, and that's not even with the windshills. So that's just the That would not be my cup of tea,
let's put it that way. But in any event, I was over the moon happy that Michigan won, and then I got right back to it and got into my science and really diving into what we're going to be doing at Invite Health as we move through twenty twenty four. And so we have a lot of really great things that we are working on behind the scenes, and myself and Jerry Hickey will keep you all up to date on the latest
news. But one of the things that I will say is that right now we have a flash sail going on on our immunity multi vitamin, so definitely take advantage of that this weekend. Stop by one of our stores. If you're not going to be out and about but you still want to take advantage of that, go to our website invitehealth dot com and you can see that we have significantly lowered the price on that immunity multivitamin. So do take advantage
of that. And remember that is a formulation that Jerry Hicky worked on where he partnered up Elderberry extract along with the nucleic acids, and so the nucleotide complex, which we know definitely helps to enhance our immune defenses, partnered with that Elderberry really gives you a heightened ability during cold and flu season to batten
down any little viruses that are out there in the environment. And we have found that when people started to take this, not only do they have this added layer of support for their immune system, but they feel really good energy. And that makes sense to us because it's the core multi vitamin is the
backbone to this product. So you have the activated b vitamins, you get all those wonderful carotenoids, you get the power of citrus bioflavonoids in this, and then you also have the added support coming from the nucleotides as well as the Elderberry. And remember with whenever you're looking at a formulation such as this, and you may think in your mind, well, I'm already doing an
immune system routine, so I don't really need an immune multi vitamin. But always keep in mind that there's many side benefits that go along with these different nutrients, including GI benefits. So interestingly enough, we know that the nucleotides have been studied, so nucleotide supplementation exactly what we use in our formulation. These have been studied in the setting of muscle recovery and athletes, for example, as well as looking at the way in which the immune system obviously is
supported through the action of the nucleotides. But they have really been able to zero in on the GI support. So for folks who deal with conditions such as al certificatelitis or Crohn's disease, irritable bowel, supplementing each day with nucleotides very very helpful. Same thing with Elderberry. You know, clearly we can look at the clinical research trials. They did a really lovely meta analysis where they populated the data from multiple clinical studies. This was published in the British
Journal of Complementary Medical therapy, and this was two years ago. I believe that this study came out where they were looking at the multiple uses of elderberry extract when it came to preventing and treating respiratory problems, So not just for viral infections, for example, but also for people who you know, maybe
have chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic bronchitis. So populating all of the data, they could clearly see that elderberry is an excellent alternative to some of those over the counter harsher medications that people turn to during cold and flu season and the way that it is working to enhance the immune system defenses, which is a great thing. But you can also look at many other clinical
research trials with elderberry extract. In the Journal of Food Science Nutrition in twenty twenty three, they looked at and this I always find these studies interesting because oftentimes, let's just say they have a big study and they have a thousand people in it, and they're looking at elderberry extract for its use in upper respiratory infections and for folks who you know come across the common cold or influenza.
And then they look at other markers. So outside of just looking at the immune system response and let's just say happenstance, they're like, well, you know what, let's look at other markers for inflammation. And one of the most fascinating studies that came out and they published the findings in twenty twenty three. This was out of a university over in the UK, but they
could see how elderberry xtract was actually improving endothelial function. So this is a wonderful side benefit if you are using our immunity multi vitamin because you may think, well, what the heck is endothelial function? Well, when you look at your your blood vessels, the lining of those blood vessels are through endothelial
cells. And if those endothelial cells are getting beat up for whatever reason, whether it's high blood pressure, just overall systemic inflammation that's occurring the aging process alone, we know that there's the correlation between endothelial diss function or beat up en ethelial cells and athosclerosis. So we don't want to have in a sense hardening of the arteries as they used to always call it. So this study was designed to look at the way in which elderberry extract was working to improve
upon the function of the circulatory system. And I sit back and I look and I say, you know, this is what's so wonderful about nutritional science is when you can look at a nutrient that has been so well studied, and you know the clinical evidence and the documentation on elderberry extract for upper respiratory infections and the way in which our immune system responds to supplementation with elderberry extract,
which is why it's been used globally for so many decades. But then when you see, wow, this same nutrient can enhance our endothelial function and it can lower markers for inflammation. They were looking at how through supplementation of elderberry extract levels of things such as TNF alpha, which is the main marker for inflammation, they could see these levels coming down. So this is a
wonderful thing. And when you start to look at the biochemical aspects or the bioactive components to a product such as elderberry, and you say, oh, okay, well, it's because it has high levels of these powerful anthoscionis it has these powerful levels of antioxidant, so it helps the body increase your natural antioxidant capacity. So we do a much better job at fighting off free radicals. So not just free radicals that we come in contact with just in our
everyday environment, but also free radicals that build up in our system. So at the end of the day, the point that I'm making is that our immunity multivitamin is on this wonderful flash sale right now. Take advantage of that.
I think they have it discounted down to twenty four ninety five. I mean, this is a powerful daily multivitamin with those keylated minerals, so that you know that those minerals are going to be able to bypass that harsh stomach acid environment make its way into the blood stream, so that you can actually benefit from nutrients such as chromium and vanadium to help with blood sugar regulation. That you're getting those bioactive b vitamins to help with cell detoxification and to support
mood. So this is why when people use the Immunity multivitamin or any of our daily multivitamins, they feel that energy. They can actually feel the difference, and that should speak volume to you as to why when you're using an invite health multivitamin, you see that shift in your energy and your overall sense of well being. It number one tells you the powerful way in which we create our multivitamins, but it also should indicate to you how your diet itself
is truly lacking the adequate exposure to those nutrients. And when we have any type of nutritional deficiency, we're not getting adequate exposure to things such as chromium or magnesium in our foods, then this can blunt the proper function of certain pathways in the body. So the body will, you know, continue to move, move, but it's struggling in a sense to do that. So if we get these nutrients back on board, we start to create this environment
that everything is working like a very well oiled machine. And that's what we want for ourselves. We want our body to be able to function in its full capacity each and every single day. So through the inclusion of the immunity multivitamin, not only do we gain the benefit of saying, well, yeah, it's cold and flu season and there's a lot of people out there coffing and crouping and sneezing and blowing their nose, and I don't want to get
whatever they have. So it gives you that support. But at the same time, it's also yielding you the benefit when it comes to GI health, when it comes to overall systemic health for your circulatory system, so you get a lot of benefits when it comes to supplementing with the immunity multivitamin. So I have to take a quick break. Definitely pop into our website right now invite health dot com. Check out that immunity multivitamin. I have a lot
more ground to cover, so stick around with me. I will be right back just after this.

I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health, and happy Saturday to everyone. Sounds like up there in New York, you guys are not going to be so much affected by the Arctic blast that is hitting so many other areas of the country,
So I guess that's a good thing. And I don't think you guys have had much snow up there either. So it's just one of those odd winters. And it's been very strange here in South Florida. It's we've had a lot more cold days than normal. Not that I'm you know, complaining woe is me, but it's it's oddly been quite cold and very windy. So the last two days have been quite warm. Yesterday, I think it was
about a high of eighty five and it was very very muggy. But this is coming off of you know where we haven't been even really going above seventy So for South Florida, that's a little bit chilly. And with the wind, all goodness is it just doing a walloping on our avocado tree. It's amazing, like the leaves stay on the tree, but just the wind itself,
it just it's very harsh. So we're hoping that our avocado tree will will thrive and survive even in this harsh winter that we're experiencing here in South Florida. Interesting study came out. I want to talk to you about this one. John's Hopkins Medicine. They just published a study into twenty twenty four here talking about isoflavones. Now, why are isoflavones so darn beneficial? This is what they're talking about. And they were actually looking at this in the
in the setting of cancer. So they said that the natural compounds derived from soi, hence derived giving us the isoflavone because that's what it's considered is the soy isoflavone. It's this very powerful antioxidant, this active bioactive constituent that's contained in the soy itself. And they found that this can actually be quite beneficial at that cellular level when it comes to proper cell division, and these are all key things that we want to think about. So they were looking at
trying to reduce the risk in breast cancer recurrence. So they were looking at women who have a history of breast cancer and then looking at the correlation between a variety of different you know, natural based nutrients and how those would have
an influence. So they were looking at cruciferous vegetables, which you know, we have our indul three carbonyl with DIM formulation that is derived directly from those cruciferous vegetables, which is like you're broccoli and your califlower, all of those power nutrients that are contained in those veggies, which is why you want to include those into your diet each day, the foods that you were taking in.
But also via supplementation. We've seen study after study with indul three carbonyl and DIM and the effectiveness of those two constituents when it comes to different types of cancers. In particular, they have been predominantly studied in the settings of breast cancer and metrial cancers as well as prostate cancers through major research universities, String Cancer Institute, Carmanos Cancer Institute up in Detroit, so we know the
effectiveness of that. But they were also looking at green tea and the power of EGCG when it comes to proper cell division. And then they really zeroed in on the soy isoflavones. And there's a reason why they wanted to hone in on that. When you look at areas of the world where there are a higher intake of isoflavones in the diet, you could see a direct correlation
between a reduced risk in certain types of cancers, including breast cancer. So they said, well, there must be something, you know, if you see some a part of the world and they have a high consumption of soy isoflavones in their diet and then they have a very low overall risk in terms of the entire area when it comes to breast cancer, prostate cancers, there's
obviously something that's you know, correlating with this. And so they were looking at these statistical ways to which these different nutrients, including the cruciferous vegetables, the green tea extract, and that soy isoflavone. So I just wanted to mention this because I always find it fascinating when you have a major institute such
as Johns Hopkins. That's really taking the time to say, you know, these phyto nutrients, they do pack a punch and while they may not be the answer for every single person who is dealing with a particular cancer, it may be a really wonderful AJUVNCT therapy. And you see this through you know, research done out of MD Anderson Cancer Institute in Texas, and so I just like to see that they continue to reinforce and look at these nutrients.
Now in our product line, we have isoflavones contained in different formulations, including the Menopause Advanced. There is a reason why I put that novasoi into that product looking at the way in which those isoflavones have been studied and shown to be highly effective. So what we use in the menopause advance, which is different than our menopause HX. So just to make that clear, so menopause
advanced, So it's the advanced variety of that we use novasi. And the reason why we use the nova soi is because this has been clinically studied and it has been shown to just be a powerhouse of an isoflavone extract. Now, looking at the way in which those isoflavones have been shown to be effective. Is not only in the setting of hormone balance and helping the body facilitate
the removal of bad metabolites of hormone breakdown. So not to get too technical, but as your hormones break down naturally in the body, remember your hormones, or your chemical messengers in our system, they're very, very important. We need to have them. They get a bad name, and it's kind of like cholesterol. You know, everybody wants to beat up on cholesterol, but we need cholesterol. If you don't have cholesterol, it's not a good
thing either. There's a reason why we come equipped with that, So we always have to understand, you know, where damage can occur. And the same thing with hormones. It's you know, having too much of something is not a good thing, but not having enough of something also can be problematic.
So in the setting of hormones such as estrogen, for example, estrogen breaks down and it creates these byproducts or metabolites that is what can lead to significant problems, especially if the liver is struggling to remove that, which is why I always zero in on you know, nutransit support liver detoxification. Every single day, our body is trying to clear itself of you know, these different metabolites other pollutants that we come across. So it's always key to zero
in on liver support as part of your daily supplementation routine. But looking at the novasoi and how that novasoi has been shown to not only be beneficial when it comes to the proper hormone balance, but also how beneficial those isoflavones have been shown to support healthy bone density. So thinking about women going through menopause and recognizing that bone loss or bone turnover increases significantly once estrogen levels start to
plummet. So this is once again shows you why hormones can be very important in our health. So higher estrogen throughout our life helps to maintain bone density and in females helps to support circulatory system our heart. So postmenopause of women are at a much greater risk for rapid bone loss leading to osteoporosis as well
as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. So if we are supplementing with Menopause Advanced which contains novasoi, this powerful isoflavone extract, this is going to help maintain healthy bone density. This has also been shown to be very helpful for skin health. And this is one of the points that I always like to
make about our products is you may be taking it for one thing. Maybe you are a female and you're dealing with hot flashes, and so you say, well, you know, I'm going to go to Invite Health and I'm going to get that menopause advanced formulation. This is definitely going to zero in on the hot flashes that you're having, but you're also getting these side benefits for cardiovascular health, for bone health, and for the health of your skin.
Because remember, as estrogen levels go down, this once again loses the ability in our skin to have that kind of that tightness of the skin, which is why women postmenopausely may start to notice more pronounced wrinkling and sagging in their skin. So now you can see, hey, maybe this Novasoi, which has been shown to be helpful for all of these different ways in the
body, maybe I should be supplementing with this particular product. Now, this is partnered up with Estrog one hundred, which is a triple blend of key herbs. Estrog one hundred is a registered trademark blend that has been shown to be once again highly effective to the main symptoms that many women experience, not
just postmenopausally, but also perimenopausely and premenopausally. So for women who are maybe in their twenties that feel like they get are those mood issues, feel a little bloated, low energy, this product is definitely geared for you as well, So don't let the name fool you. Even though it's called Menopause Advance. This is for women of all ages and you're going to be yielding those benefits across multiple systems. It has grape seed extract in this, so we
know the circulatory support of grape seed extract. We know how it is that the estrog is working to target the issues with sleep. A lot of women experience, you know, periods of insomnia or sleep disruption because of hormone loss. We know that just generalize pain, so a lot of women will experience what oftentimes their doctors will diagnosis fibromyalgia, but oftentimes you will find that women as their hormone level are fluctuating, they can experience fatigue, pain in the
joints. And we know that through supplementation of stro G one hundred. This has been shown to be highly effective and this was studied, as I mentioned, in Women of all ages and to see those significant improvements across all of
these different markers is highly impressive. So ladies, if you're out there and you're listening and you say, well, you know what I've been through, you know the change of life, and I don't really have hot flashes, but I do feel like my energy levels are low, this is a product
that you want to check out. So Menopause Advanced. If you were listening and you have you know, a daughter who's struggling with PMS or you know has disrupted menstrual cycles, this is definitely a product that you would like to check out because the power of this combined New Trent formulation. It also has Rodeola extract so it helps with that energy each day. So we're kind of hitting all of the different marks that we need to address when it comes to
hormonal imbalances, so an excellent formulation. Have great feedback on this. Even for women who are dealing with more significant issues such as vaginal dryness, this definitely will target those issues, so check that product out. So that's menopause advanced HX. I do need to squeeze in a quick break. When I get back, I want to talk a little bit more about grape seed extract
because we have an excellent formulation a standalone grape seed extract. So I want to talk about the science behind grape seed extract and all of the many ways grape seed extract can enhance your overall health. So stick around with me. I will be right back just after this. Maintain muscle mass and fuel your body with Invite heuse brand new Plant Protein powder. Looking to stay lean and strong.

Happy Saturday morning to everyone. Hopefully you've got some plans for the weekend that include wellness and being healthy, and hopefully you
haven't already dropped your New Year's resolutions. I know we're just two weeks in here, but this is usually that critical time. Some people give up after the first couple of days. But that's why I always say, you know, set a goal that is reasonable, something that's attainable. Don't set yourself up for failure. As human beings, sometimes I think that we convince ourselves that we can take on the world, and then that can lead to guilt
tripping ourselves, and that's never beneficial. It definitely isn't. You know. You gotta roll with the punches, but make sure that when you do set goals for yourself that they're sustainable. I always say, if you are carrying around an extra fifty pounds, don't tell yourself you're going to lose all of that weight in one month. That's not going to happen. So, you know, work with one of our nutritional experts and they can help guide you
along your journey to wellness. It's a free service. You hear Jerry Hickey talk about it. You hear me talk about it. This is one of the wonderful things that Jerry Hickey did so many years ago when he started to Invite Health. You know, we're twenty five years in now, but he not only wanted to be the creator of these wonderful formulations and these powerhouse nutrients, but he also wanted to back that with having the ability for people to
have a support system along their journey. And hence, this is where the whole design of Invite Health, Caine is, we are inviting, you know, a healthy lifestyle for you to partake in. And this is why when you go into and Invite Health store, you can speak with a nutritional expert and they are there to guide you. And it doesn't have to be just about oh, let me try and figure out which supplements I'm taking today.
It may be you know, I get confused when I go into the grocery store and I'm not exactly sure if I'm selecting the right foods or you know, I'm trying to do these techniques to help me destress, I don't know if I'm actually doing them correctly. So you can talk to them about a whole variety of different issues that may pop up throughout your year. And if you can't make it into one of our stores, give us a call and we're happy to patch you through to one of our nutritional experts. So do
take advantage of that. Now off to the world of grape seed extract. Grape seed extract is one of those nutrients that's been so well studied, similar to risveratrol. Resveratrol obviously was looked at as the you know, the king of or the queen of anti aging supplements, and it still is, you know, I mean, there's nothing has come along where we say, wow, you know that that really kind of overtakes what we know about risveratrol.
Now, remember not all resveratrols are created equal. So if you want a really powerful resveratrol, you use invite Health risveratrol Max. You're getting two hundred milligrams of trans risveratrol that folks packs a punch. And that's not even to mention there's also grape seed extract in that as well as corstin. So it is a power anti aging formulation that goes above and beyond when you think about
all of the benefits that you yield from supplementing with risveratrol max. But let's just look at just isolating out just grape seed extract, and so we use a registered trademark form known as novida, and novida is once again a reason what makes invite Health so unique is following that science understanding that when we use nutrients such as novida, the amount of power that brings with our formulation. Now this is sourced in Italy, it is manufactured, you know, processed
in Italy, and then it's brought over to us. And the reason why we source from Indena and n olvida is because of the science behind this and the sustainability of how they're actually sourcing out those OPCs or those oleegomeric pro anthocynodens that come from that grape seed extract. So looking at not only the the sourcing standards that they use, but then looking at the science behind enovida. So this is the Invite Health grape seed extract and has been studied in human
human by the way human clinical trials to maintain healthy blood pressure. We know how it's working in the body to regulate different enzymes, which is what can lead to that blood pressure support. We know that it can help to enhance natural nitric oxide release, so the more nitric oxide than what we get is vasodilation. So the more open your blood vessels are, the better blood flow you get through your vessels. So that's one aspect. But then they said,
well, let's look outside of just the cardiovascular benefits. We can clearly see how it has a positive effect on cholesterol. We can see its powerful effects on the endothelial cells we just talked about endothela. But also they could see how beneficial Novita was in improving mood and stress management. So when they were supplementing individuals with Novida grape seed extract is what we use in our formulation, they could see a reduction in stress in folks who are you know,
known self admitted warriors. They could see that those stress response levels were starting to drop. So we also now know that those oleegomer pro anthocynodins are working within that hypothalmis pituitary adrenal access and this is why when you start to look at the full spectrum of the ways in which supplementing with Invite Health grape seed extract can benefit your overall health. So maybe you say, you know what, I have some you know, mild peripheral artery to my legs, feel
kind of heavy or achy. I have some circulation issues. Maybe you do have you know, diagnosed hypertension or undiagnosed high blood pressure, but you know that your blood pressure has a tendency to elevate, so you know this is the product that you want to start with. You say, okay, I'm gonna go to Invite Health. I'm going to get that grape seed extract, but start supplementing with that. I know that this is wonderful for my vascular
system. So even if we're dealing with conditions like you know, varicose veins for example, also quite beneficial is using this grape seed extract. Maybe you have elevated cholesterol, you have high LDL levels, which is your low density lipoproteins. Maybe you have elevated triglyst rides. So this is a product that
would be excellent for you to consider. We also know that when it comes to the vaso motor issues that can occur in women as well as men, and when it comes to hot flashes, grape seed extract once again has been shown to be highly beneficial. Now in the Journal of Menopause over a decade ago now, they looked at GrapeSEED extract supplementation not only in its ability to
regulate problems such as hot flashes and night sweats. But what's really interesting in this is they were looking at the cardiovascular markers and they were also looking at weight, and this is a big problem for both men and women as they go through hormonal changes throughout their lives. So they designed this study where they took a group of women who were postmenopausal and they were looking not only at how they were feeling via supplementation when it came to their hot flashes, and
they were reduction in those. But then they looked and they said, wow, you know, these women are actually having an improvement in their overall percent body fat. They're losing weight. So this is a wonderful way to once again look at grape seed extract as having this multi purpose for you. So whether you're just thinking anti aging, thinking about blood pressure support, all of
the different ways to which grape seed extracts certainly packs a punch. Now we have another formulation that always makes me kind of gravitate towards especially during cold and flu season, and that's our inflammune. Inflammune is a blend of four different types of Omega three fatty acids. So it contains green lip muscle source from New Zealand, and then it also has perilla extract and perilla extract is a
plant based omega three. So this is providing you with ala or alfha lina la like acid, and then the green lip muscle is giving you epa dha plus a very unique form of omega three only found in green lip muscle, which is known as Eta. And what is fascinating about Eta is that it's ability, this particular form of omega three, its ability to get into our bloodstream in a really quick manner. Is why when people supplement with our inflammune
formulation, they're like, wow, this works pretty darn quick. Well, what it is is that ETA, that unique form of omega three that is derived from only green lip muscle. And so when people supplement with it, maybe you're taking it because you have some airway constriction you just got over having the common cold, and you have a little bit of lingering, you know, upper respiratory issues, a little viral bronchitis, which can last folks for
a very long time. Unfortunately, sometimes you can get the common cold, and you know, six weeks out from that, you're still finding that you feel like you have a little tightness or just some some upper respiratory issues that are just kind of lingering. You no longer feel sick in the sense of you know, achy fever, running nose, any of that, but you still have that lingering upper respiratory issue. So this is where the inflammune formulation
is very helpful because it can ease inflammation throughout the airways. But this is what's great about it. Every time I talk to someone and I say, oh, you know, try the inflammune formulation. I've been sick with, you know, covid or I'm sick with the flu, which you know product should I turn to? And I say, okay, well let's add in some inflammune right now, so we can keep that inflammation in the airways down.
But then what's always fascinating is they'll say, you know, it's amazing, I have been dealing with arthritis, you know, in my knee and I started taking the inflammune and within a week I was like, Wow, you know, I feel so much better. So that's not surprising to us. Remember that ETA, that unique form of omega three that's in the green lip muscle that absorbs really rapidly into the bloodstreams. You get the power that Omega three to be able to go in and target those areas of inflammation,
so including within your joints. So looking at the clinical research studies on both the green lip muscle as well as perilla extract are incredibly impressive, not just for the upper respiratory system, but more importantly for many folks is the way in which it can help to create support for joint inflammation. So if you're achy joints, inflammune is a really good choice for you. Also if you have GI issues, this is one of those wonderful side benefits that goes along
with combining these four different omega three fatty acids. We can see the way in which those omega threes in combination are working to lessen inflammation and GI discomfort that can occur. So I'm going to talk about a study that was shown in the British Journal of Complimentary Alternative medicine on how Perilla extract helps to improve GI function.

I can't believe we're almost at the end of the show. It flies by sometimes, but I enjoy it. I love talking about science. Remember if there's ever anything that I'm talking about on this show. Sometimes I don't go into heavy detail on particular studies, and you want to know more, just
reach out to me. I'm very accessible, so you can shoot me an email a Williams at invitehealth dot com. So that's a for Amanda Williams at invitehealth dot com. Now, immunity multivitamin, as I mentioned, that is on a major special right now. So either go to our website invite health dot com check that out, or stop by one of our stores this weekend get your immunity multivitamin. Excellent choice to have on hand during cold and flu season. We cannot outrun that, that is for sure. Now back to
perilla extract. I had mentioned that there's a study that came out of the British Journal of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine looking at how perilla extract could gastro intestinal discomfort So this was a randomized, placebo controlled double blind study. This is the exact type of study design that we always seek out at INVITE Health. We like to see the randomized, which means they have two groups of people, and so one group will be the placebo group. The other group is
going to receive the perilla extract in this setting. But what's interesting about a controlled double blind study is that the people who are conducting, the researchers themselves, who are conducting this trial, they don't know which of these study participants are in which group, So that eliminates bias, and that's key. And I remember learning about all the different types of biases when I went through medical school, and it was like, goodness, gracious, there's a lot of
bias out there. But at the end of the day, when we're looking at trials, we want to always see them be randomized, placeble, control, double blind. That's the ideal way. And so this is what we always look at whenever we're assessing any nutrient. Now, this study was looking at individuals who had experienced to such a degree it was affecting their quality of life, so it was driving up additional stress, it was leading to mild
to moderate depression because of constant chronic GI issues. And as we know, that's you know, can be considered slightly subjective because you may have one person who is always dealing with stomach issues and they don't really ever complain about it, but you can have someone else who is like, oh my goodness,
like I have all of this pain every single day. So they look to the Perilla extract and they said, we know that the Parla extract is this powerful omega three, but we also know that it's a powerful antioxidant, and if we give individuals who are experiencing this significant GI discomfort, would this help? And what they found was a significant improvement. Now, what was fascinating
was that this was shown within two weeks. And you're talking about individuals who were enrolled into this study who had years of GI issues, and within two weeks they could see the clear improvement in the symptomatic reporting on these individuals. So this is why when you look at a formulation like infommune, folks, I don't want you to think, oh, well, maybe that's just for
the immune system. Well, hey, anything that's for the immune system is a wonderful thing, right, But this really does pack a punch in so many different systems, So not just for respiratory health, but we can also
look at its benefits for our joints. We can look at its benefits for our GI trapped So this is why we always like to address these things and identify how when you're using it formulations such as inflamon, you may be taking it for one reason, but you're also going to start to see the difference a positive shift in another area. Same thing with the green lip muscle. In the Journal of Inflow Pharmacology back in twenty twelve, they were able to
see the same thing. They were studying green lip muscle for knee osteoarthritis. So they took a group of folks who all were like, yeah, I have you know, knie arthritis, and they were giving them green lip muscle. Now, the interesting find out of this was not only did they have an improvement in their pain levels and less inflammation within the knee, but they started to see, wow, we have an improvement in GI health. So this is what's so nice about a product such as inflamming is that you have
this partnering, this wonderful blend of four different power omega threes. Remember our diet, folks, doesn't matter how good you think you're eating, you're likely not getting adequate omega threes in your diet. It's just it's a very difficult
thing to achieve. And this is why when they look at blood levels of you know, most Americans, our ratio is so off and where we need that ratio to be of omega six to omega three should be a two to one, even a four to one would be acceptable, but unfortunately many Americans are up close to to twenty to one, which shows this heightened level of inflammation and a lessening of the protectiveness that we know omega three fatty acids actually
yield us. So even if you're eating healthy, you're adhering to a Mediterranean diet. That's what I do. I still am aware of the fact that I need additional supplementation of omega threes. And you have a variety of omega threes that you can choose from at invite. Obviously, we have this inflammone formulation excellent across the board. You get four different omegas in one capsule. That's a great thing. We have our kryll oil advanced, so the krill
oil, remember that is not just your omega three. You also get that very unique phosphol lipid, so it has the phosphatidyl coalin, and that phosphatyle colin is key because this helps your brain produce more acetyl coalin moreceetyl colin is really good for our memory, for attention and for focus. And then of course krill naturally contains asda'santhin, so Asda's anthen is a powerful carotenoid wonderful for eye health but also for brain health. So we know that those carotenoids are
cross functional nutrients. So carotenoids are not only great for the health of our eye and to help fend off UV exposure coming from the sun or from your light emitting devices like your cell phone or your computer, but they're also wonderful for our immune system as well as for our brain. So for the connection points in the brain, we always want to make sure that we have that ability to have those good communication pathways, so we know that those carotenoids very
helpful. So that's the krill oil advanced. And then of course we have our fish oil or fish oil is our most powerful in terms of total omega three, so you get the highest yield of Omega three fatty acids. When you use our fish oil soft gells. And remember that goes through this double
distillation process. So we source from very tiny little fish, so less likely that they have had any type of exposure to pollutants from the ocean, and then we go through a double distillation to remove any trace amount of contaminant from that. And that makes a difference. I'm telling you there's a lot of fish oils out there on the market. Not all fish oil has created the same. It's kind of like risveratrol. Not all risveratrol is created the same.
Not all grape seed. Like I said, we use enovita. We can trace where exactly they pulled those grapes from which vines. I mean the traceability and the way in which we know the science behind our grape seed extract. That's what makes it such a wonderful formulation. It's not willy nilly thrown together. So when you're supplementing, you want to supplement with the highest potency, the highest quality formulations. You're investing into your health. And when you
invest into your health, you don't want to cut corners. And this is what we've been doing for twenty five years. Is we are not cutting corners. We are following that science, We are following the research. We are understanding how when we partner and blend different nutrients together. This is why Jerry put the green lip muscle along with that perilla extra because understanding that when you put four omega three fatty acids together in one capsule, the amount of benefit
you can get from that. This is why the Menopause Advanced Formulation has this wonderful blend of registered trademark nutrients that have been shown in clinical trials to improve upon the symptoms that so many women struggle with throughout their lives when it comes to hormonal imbalances. So at the end of the day, you know that when you're using any of the Invite Health formulas, they are truly backed in
that science. And for you, that should give you a lot of reassurance because your health matters, your wellness matters, and we want to be your partner in that.
