Welcome to Invite Radio. You're about to receive responsible, life changing information on health and nutrition. You'll hear from Invite professionals who are leaders and targeted and anti aging nutrition. Get ready for tomorrow's nutritional Science Today right here, right now.
Hello, and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health, and happy Saturday morning to everyone. I know you're probably tuning in and thinking you're going to hear the great Jerry Hickey, But Jerry and I happen to swap days because he's traveling for the holidays. But in lieu of that, I have really fabulous news to share with everyone, and that is that our Thanksgiving buy one, get one free sale is
going on right now. So everything that I talk about today is all on special buy one, get one free. Everything in the entire product line is on sale. So I always say during the sales, this is not only a perfect time for you to stock up on all of your favorites, but also consider trying something new. We've brought many new formulations into the product line over the course of the last year, and it's always amazing to me.
We get to this point of the season and I always think, oh, my goodness, I feel like it was just Memorial Day, or it was just fourth of July, and now we are literally right around the corner from Thanksgiving, and then we have the rest of the holiday season to make our way through, and with that can come low energy, compromised immune function, and of course stress. While the holidays can bring joy for many, not the case
for all. So I'm going to talk about some different nutrients today that you can consider to not only help to bolster up your immune defenses, but really to help mitigate any of those holiday stressors that can creep up on you. And they certainly are a real deal thing for so many individuals. So let's get started. I found a couple of really interesting studies through the course of
this week. As you know, both myself and Jerry Hickey, we both really love to kind of geek out and read the details of these scientific research studies, and in doing so we find so many things that correlate back to our product line, and this is why Invite Health
we are a scientific, research based nutraceutical company. So whenever you're using any of the Invite Health formulations, you know that you are getting not only the highest quality and purity when it comes to our formulations, but they're backed by this sound research. So let me just mention one study to you because it's not a surprise on our end for myself or for Jerry when reading through this study, but it is something that I think is worth mentioning.
And the reason why is when you look at different products in our line, you may be thinking of them for a particular reason. So we're going to talk about our ubiquinyl COQ ten with NADH and maybe when you think of that product, you're thinking, Okay, this is really good for my heart, and this is wonderful for my brain.
And you know, as I grow older and I know energy levels start to go down in my system, I should be taking coenzyme Q ten And this makes sense why Well, first and foremost Q ten is naturally occurring in the human body. So what does that mean, Well, it means when we come into this earth, As little babies, we have coq ten in our system, and as we grow older, the body's ability to make coke ten efficiently can start to diminish, and then we can complicate matters.
We can start to throw in the middle ages of when disease states start to creep in on folks such as heart disease and diabetes, and inflammatory conditions such as irritable bowel or arthritis. So when we're contending with those, we also are not only losing the ability to make coq ten the same way that we did when we were little, but now we're actually depleting that coq ten at a much more rapid p So that's not ideal. So this is why supplementation each day with your coenzyme
Q ten. Regardless if you say, listen, Amanda, I don't have any heart condition, and that's a wonderful thing, But why do I need well because we all need coenzyme Q ten. I always say, once you get thirty years old, you need to really zero in on how do I keep driving sell energy so I don't feel those effects of aging. My goal always for everyone is to age gracefully. So let me talk about this study and tie it into to why it's relevant to the invite health ubiquinol
with NADH. So this came out of the University of Copenhagen and they were looking at how they said a form of vitamin B three can reduce lung inflammation in COPD patients. Now, what is COPD. That's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. And when you look at the just these statistics overall of COPD, which you know includes chronic bronchitis as well as emphysema, we're looking at well over four percent of the US population that has doctor diagnosed. Now, keep always
keep this in mind. Doctor diagnosed means you've sought out medical help or intervention for a particular condition that you're dealing with, and the doctor says, oh, you know, based off of these assessments, you have emphysema, or based off
of this, you have chronic bronchitis. But how many people have these conditions where perhaps they don't see their doctor on a regular basis, or when you do go to the doctors, it's because you have a sinus infection and you're not even talking about, you know, your breathing issues. So we know that this number is actually much larger than the over four percent. But over four percent of the US population may seem minuscule to you, but that's
actually a large amount. So with that being known, and then looking at this study out of the University of Copenhagen and saying, okay, well, what is it that they're finding about, you know, co Q ten and vitamin B three. So they recognized that this unique modified form of vitamin B three, which is niacin, and the way in which it's working in the system actually lowers the inflammatory negative
effects that concur within the respiratory airways. So they said, we live longer and longer as we age, but many individuals are dealing with compromised respiratory function, and you know, in individuals who have COPD, they're experiencing things like shortness of breath, you know, persistent cough with mucus, wheezing, other
respiratory issues that can present. And they said, in this study, we show that vitamin B three niosin, but in this modified form called nicotinamide ribocide, so nicotinamide riboside, if you want to make that your word of the day, this actually can reduce lung inflammation. And so it was a really interesting design. How they took a group of folks who have been diagnosed with COPD and they had it set up where they had a placebo group of COPD patients and then they had their test group. So the
test group was given the NADH. That should start to sound familiar to you when you're thinking of the invite health ubiquenol with NADH. So they were giving them NADH and they monitored this over the course of twelve weeks, and they could see that the group that was taking NADH had significant reduction in lung inflammation. So now we take a step back and we say, well, that's sure
and oppressive. So when I'm taking my invite ubiquenol with NADH, not only am I helping to recharge my cells with the power of coenzyme Q ten, I'm also getting this targeted, unique form of vitamin B three that can help lower inflammation not only in my lungs but throughout the body.
And this is not something new though, because we can go all the way back to the Journal of Clinical Investigations in nineteen ninety three where they looked at the effects of co q ten administration on individuals who had pulmonary issues, and they looked to see with those patients who had chronic lung diseases if they gave them coenzyme q ten would this help And they said it had incredibly favorable effects on muscular energy metabolisms. What's that mean?
Driving up your cells ability to pump out energy? And so for folks who are dealing with whether it's chronic bronchitis, copd, emphysema, this is a wonderful addition to your daily supplementation routine. Now, of course that invite health, we always take that a step further. So, not only does our ubiquenol coq ten one hundred and twenty milligram contain the power of NADH built right in, which oftentimes when you hear us talk about that, it's to help keep that ubiquenol inside of
the cell even longer. But what's really interesting is that the form that we use, the form of coq ten, we use knica. Now Knica is the world's first and only think about this just for a minute, because you you can hear a lot about coq ten out there. If you're listening to different shows, seeing different commercials, and they'll say, you know, coq ten I have to have my COQ ten. Well, yes, we all need our COQ ten.
But the form that we use in our product is the world's first and only patented form and it is made here in the United States. There's extensive clinical trial data on the form that we use, so you can always rest assure when you're thinking about any aspect of
aging or targeting any area of a chronic disease. So whether we're looking at diabetes or we're looking at heart disease, you know that when you're supplementing each day with the ubiquinol one twenty with that NADH, you're getting all of the power of energy production targeted inflammation, and we're also getting powerful antioxidants from both of those and that's important because we know we live in a very polluted world and we want to always build up those reserves of antioxidants.
So during the Thanksgiving by when get one fre sale, stock up on this. And you know, this is also the time where people start thinking what am I going to give away, you know, for a holiday gift, and you know, maybe you're going to one of those office parties and everyone's supposed to bring a gift. Give the gift of health give the gift of wellness. We all need coenzyme q ten. I always say it's so critical
even to have your blood levels tested. And when you do have those levels tested, many times people are very taken aback by how low their co q ten levels are and they say, I didn't realize that. You know, if I start to supplement with the ubiquenol with the nad H, how effective that can be not only in how I feel each and every single day, but to actually see my blood levels of co q ten begin
to go up. So co q ten so incredibly important one of the bodies most key indagenous antioxidants, and it serves so many purposes from brain health, to heart health and beyond. So I just wanted to mention that study because for yourself, or maybe you know someone who's dealing with chronic bronchitis or some type of a respiratory condition, maybe you should ask them that do you take coenzyme
q ten? Are you taking NADH? Because I know this really wonderful formulation that has all of this science behind it that can really be incredibly beneficial for you. So this is why we always look at this show as being an educational based show because it's not only for your own health, but it's for those that you know as well. So at the end of the day, I'm going to mention a couple other interesting studies on coenzyme Q ten, just to tie that all together for you.
But I'm looking at the clock and I realize I do actually have to squeeze in a quick break. But remember we have our Thanksgiving buy one, get one free sale going on right now, so I will be back with you in just one minute.

Hopefully you are all off to a wonderful start to your weekend.
There's many different things going on as we know enter into the holiday season. Maybe this is your weekend that you're getting ready for your big Thanksgiving festivities. I'm also going to give you a little tip on that one.
We've got a wonderful actually two products that I'm going to talk about that can be quite helpful for for the holiday season when it comes to sometimes the over indulgence of the foods that you're eating, and we know what the holidays, sometimes you're tempted to eat things that you normally wouldn't, but you just can't stop yourself. So I'm gonna give you some tips on what we can do to offset some of those negative effects that certainly
can occur with those foods. We always have to be cognizant of the fact that, you know, even if you're not a diabetic, you know, and I think about this myself, we all have you know, rises, the peaks and valleys, I always say, or the roller coaster of blood sugar, and we want to make sure that that blood sugar does not become detrimental to our health and the long term.
So even when you're eating healthy, and I consider the way I eat very healthy, I still realize, you know, the way in which the body works, you still get a rise in blood sugar, so you always want to be taking nutrients that can help to combat that. This is where a formulation like elcar with ala very health. You're taking that every day. Both the acetyl alcrnatine and that alphalapoic acid can help to better control your blood
sugar spikes. So maybe you're taking it because you think it's wonderful for brain health, and it obviously is, because that carnatine can cross the blood brain barrier and help to bolster up energy production so your little neurons can communicate with one another. But it's also really good for targeting those ages which are advanced glycation end products. What in the world is that that's too much sugar, too much sugar, and it goes around and just sticks to everything.
So this is something that we should all be thinking about. But I just wanted to refer back to another point, Like I said, with our ubiquenol with NADH, we just saw the study coming out of University of Copenhagen saying, hey, this form of vitamin B three can actually significantly reduce inflammation in the lung. So for folks who're dealing with any type of a chronic respiratory condition, this is really helpful.
Now we also see the study that came out in nineteen ninety three saying ding ding ding, if you have a respiratory condition, you need to be supplementing with coenzyme Q ten. So then you look at the Invite Health product line, you say, wow, you guys already did this. You guys already partnered up your ubiquenl with NADH. And the form that we use, like I said, is the only patented form of ubiquenol. And there is a difference between coke ten ubiquanone which ends in ony and then ubiquinol.
We get these questions often because it can be confusing. So what is the difference, Well, ubiquinone is not as powerful. It goes into the system and then our body has to convert it and reduce it down into its more powerful antioxidant form, which is ubiquinul. So when you think about supplementation, why would we supplement with ubiquin known if we can take the most potent form as ubiquinul. So this is why our product is designed the way that
it is now. The European Society of Cardiology. This was a study that came out over a decade ago, and I remember reading this at the time and thinking, how is this not on every major news network here in the United States. And there's obviously reasons why, because when it comes to the world of wellness and thinking of how the body's working in nutrition, we know that we are lacking in this country with that awareness and the way doctors are still to this day trained, they don't
un understand that concept. If you ask any doctor about the electron transport chain, they will rattle that off to you as though they are ready to take their board exams tomorrow. And in that electron transport chain, they will mention coenzyme Q ten. But yet if you were to ask a doctor, most doctors, the vast majority of doctors, hey, should I supplement with co Q ten? They would probably say, oh, now,
that's why would you do that? So there's still that very strong disconnect between how the body's working and how we should approach, you know, targeting these issues. So let me go back to the study from over a decade ago.
They were talking about co q ten. They said, it occurs naturally in the body, and it's essential that our cells have the ability to produce coenzyme q ten all cells in the body, not just your your heart cells, but all cells in the body, and it allows you your life powerhouse of the cell known as the mitochondria to kick out that atp And we know in conditions such as heart failure, the cardiac myocytes the muscle cells of the heart become so compromised and so dysfunctional because
of their loss of coenzyme q ten, then it only makes sense that we need to be really pumping that COQ ten back into the system. So this study was called the q symbio study. It was a really large study where They took individuals who had severe heart failure and they assessed their serum coq ten levels, and then they began to supplement half of that group with coenzyme
q ten. And they were looking at the measurable outcomes not only the rise in the serum coq ten level, but in the way in which these individuals were responding as far as their daily activity. And in the group that was supplementing with coq ten, they were like, wow,
they're less winded. This is one of the biggest problems in heart failure is you know, people become incredibly sedentary because it's so difficult just to do daily functions, you know, going and walking into your kitchen and you know, loading your dishwasher can just wipe you out. So this is why co q ten is so important. And the reason why I want to bring this study up is because in this this is the European Society of Cardiology, so it's all of the different heart doctors over in Europe.
They call coenzyme q ten a drug. They say, the first drug that can significantly improve heart failure. Now pause on that for a minute and think, oh, well, you know, and the evenings I turn on the TV, and I'm watching television and there's these different commercials from pharmaceutical companies that come on, you know, with this person over here
with heart failure and they're using this combination medication. But yet there's something that's natural in the body that can target this, and the cardiologists over in Europe they're well aware of that, and that's why they call it a drug. So this is the power of coenzyme q ten. So I just wanted to kind of reinforce that we also can see that serum blood levels of co q ten are directly linked to an increased risk of developing type
two diabetes. So, like I said, maybe you hear us talk about coenzyme q ten on this program and you think great for my heart, great for my brain, and don't have that connection with how much influence coenzyme q ten has when it comes to all systems, including pancreatic function, which regulates your blood sugar. So just keep that in mind. We all need to be supplementing with ubiquenol. And now we have our Thanksgiving sales so you can stock up
on that and get wonderful savings. I want to tell you about another study, I said, I love going through and reading this. Now, this one in a really large journal, Close one. In the Close one journal out of NYU.
They publish their findings. Now, for those of you who have listened to Invite Health Radio for years and years, you may yourself get a slight chuckle out of this one because you've heard myself, You've heard Jerry for years talk about the correlation between diabetes and heart disease, the link between diabetes and dementia and Alzheimer's risk. You know that now they have a third type of diabetes, you know, type three diabetes, diabetes of the brain, and there's a
correlation between obesity, diabetes and dementia. You've heard us talk about these things throughout the years. So NYU said, people diagnosed with type two diabetes at a younger age are at a higher risk for developing dementia. So they're saying, well, if you become a type two diabetic in your thirties or your forties, the likelihood that you're going to have more significant brain issues earlier is quite high. And so they go through and they talk about all these different things.
And this was done through NYU Meyers College of Nursing, and they said you know, looking at the hallmarks of diabetes, you know, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, inflammation, and for individuals who are diagnosed with type two diabetes under the age of forty, we're seeing more of a spike in dementia issues as they get older. By the time they hit seventy years old, we're seeing the indications that dementia
is more pronounced in these individuals. And but the part that I said you might get a chuckle out of this, They said, while we don't know for sure why an earlier diabetes diagnosis would increase the risk for dementia, we look at this as maybe because they have poor blood sugar control and insulin resistance. So I had to, you know, kind of stop myself when I'm reading this study and going, really, that's that's the conclusion that you drew upon this, Like, Okay,
so I've got a diabetic. They became a diabetic at age forty, and then by the time they're seventy, you know, they haven't had good diabetes management for thirty years. You know, they hit seventy years old, and now they're having you know, cognitive decline. I wonder why that is. Advanced glycation end products. People. Remember I just talked about this the sugar, the sugar that goes and sticks to everything. So we have neuro and clammation that occurs, we have that glycation that's happening
within the neuronal pathways. Yeah, no, wonder why you were just adding more time of damage being done, which is why we always zero back on how do we best control a condition like type two diabetes? Can you have type two diabetes and in a sense reverse that, Yes you can. I have my certification from Stanford University in
diabetes self management. I have worked with individuals who had uncontrolled type two diabetes who are now at a point where they are off of those medications and they maintain healthy blood glucose levels through dietary modifications, lifestyle modifications and taking the right nutrients such as l car with ALA, you, biquenol with NADH, taking your Omega three fatty acids. So
just a fascinating study there. If you are listening and you know that you have perhaps a blood sugar issue, maybe you've been to your doctor and they say, hey, you know your blood sugars are a little bit high. Please come in and talk to us, because we can help you in that comprehensive approach, and we say wellness is a journey that we should all want to participate
in for our own health. We want to age gracefully, we want to be able to tackle issues that we're dealing with, but we also want to prevent things from creeping up on us as we get older. So there are so many known things. Knowing that coke ten levels go down as we get older, we know it, we can fix it. We know that our digestive enzyme levels go down as we get older. We know that we
can fix it. We can start taking digestive HX. So this is one of those products that I wanted to talk about for the holiday season because me, you're heading over to a family member's house for Thanksgiving this upcoming week, and you know that they put this wonderful spread out, but every time after you eat that food, you're like, oh goodness, it's sitting so heavy. I don't feel so great. Everyone tries to blame the turkey and say it's the trip to fan and the turkey. It's not. It's the
high carbs. So it's the blood sugar issue that makes you sleepy after a Thanksgiving meal. But I do want to give you some tips on how we can better digest those foods and ways that we can also blockade the bad foods that we may be coming in contact with as you go out to holiday office parties and other holiday events. But I do need to squeeze in another break, so stick around with me. I will be right back just after this. Welcome to the Invite Health

I'm happy Saturday morning to everyone. If you tuned in and you're waiting to hear Jerry Hickey, no fear because guess what you're gonna get two weeks back to back of Jerry Hickey. So be sure to tune in over the next two weeks and you will get the great Jerry Hickey. But he is traveling. He's
so active. Him and Ruth, they're always on the go, go go. But with the holidays, you know they have and he goes between you know, Florida and New York, and so he is on the go. And I'm sure he's mentioned on this show that he's become quite the painter. He's incredibly talented. I must tell you. I asked him, I said, you know, take some pictures of the things that you've been painting and send him to me. And
it was funny. He sent me kind of a transition of you know, well, This was my very first painting, and now this is where I am. You know, many years later. He's really super artistic. I mean we obviously all of us know his talent when it comes to product formulation and you know, putting together these wonderful nutrients. But you know, his expertise goes far reaching. So hopefully he'll talk to you guys about his his art skills someday. But we need to think about Thanksgiving, Okay, this is
right around the corner. A lot of times people over do it on Thanksgiving. You sit down and you say, well, I'm gonna just have just a little bit of everything, and then the next thing, you know, you take kind of the double scoop of mashed potatoes and then here comes well, I got to match that same amount with my stuffing. So I get it. I certainly understand that with the holidays comes those those cravings and you overdo it.
But it can make you, especially if you're already used to eating fairly healthy on a regular basis, this can affect your digestive health. And you know, you an hour after your Thanksgiving meal, you're like, where is there a couch where I can just go flop on and like I said before the break, everyone wants to blame the darn turkey and say, oh, it's the trip to Fan and the turkey. You'd have to eat a couple of full turkeys to get enough trip to Fan to make
you feel sleepy. So it's not that. What it is, it's the glucose insulin reaction that is creating that. So we get this huge spike because think about most of the foods for Thanksgiving, they're mainly starchy carbohydrates. And because of that, this creates this real, real strong glucose serge, and you're insulin, especially if you're already a little insulin resistance,
becomes real, real lazy at that point in time. And so you know, you eat your mashed potatoes and your stuffing and your dinner roll, and then you get into the pumpkin pie and then you're like, oh my goodness, I just I feel so tired. Well, because yeah, your glucose is like gone sky high and your insulin is now laying on the couch saying yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
watch the rest of this football game. I'll get to you when I get to We don't want that to happen, so one of the things that we can do is we can think about, Okay, what do we know about what's already occurring in the body. Well, as we get older, our digestive enzyme release starts to diminish. And I think
it became trendy a few years ago. I don't see as many commercials on it, but it became trendy a few years ago where they're like, if you're having problems with your digestive I'll talk to your doctor about pancreatic insufficiency. And I kind of laugh because I'm like, well, everybody over the age of fifty pretty much is gonna have some degree of pancreatic insufficiency. Our poor pancreas has been
working day in day out for fifty years. Yeah, it's not going to be releasing the same amount of digestive enzymes as it did when we were twenty years old. So once again, things that we know, things that we can fix. So this is why we have our digestive HX formulation. And this can be really handy for the holiday season, especially for those who already know. Yeah, you know, after I eat a heavy meal, I just I don't feel so great. I feel like it takes a long
time for those foods to digest. So we have digestive HX, which is a comprehensive blend of the key enzymes that the pancreas produces to aid in breaking down those foods. So it contains proteases, and the proteases break down your protein. It contains lipases which break down your fats aka your lipids, and then it has amylase, and the amylase helps to break down the carbohydrates in a more efficient way. But then it, of course, we don't just leave it at that.
We don't say, well, let's just put just the basic pancreatic enzymes in this. No, we take it to a whole other level. We have bitain hydrochloride to make sure that we're maintaining that healthy pH level within the gastric juices, because remember, whenever you eat anything, the first place that lands is the stomach. Want to make sure that we have the right acid environment. Many people who deal with indigestion or acid reflux conditions, they think, oh, I have
too much acid. It's actually the opposite. We don't have enough betain hydrochloride sitting in the stomach. So when the foods come in they're not breaking down quickly enough because there's not enough batain, and then we start to get this creeping back up of those foods and that's the acid or that burning feeling that you're going to feel going up through the throat and that heaviness you know, in the stomach area. So we have digestive h X, which the way that you take this is about fifteen
minutes before you eat. Now, I always tell folks if you are, you know, five bites into your food and you go, oh gosh, I forgot to take my digestive HX, that's okay, you still want to take it. It's still going to be effective, but the best way is to try and get those enzymes into your stomach before you eat, so about fifteen minutes. And then it also has bromoline in it. Bromoline is so nifty for some many different reasons. We know it's very targeted towards inflammation that can occur
within your joints, your sinuses. Works as a natural analgesic or you know, pain reliever, but it also helps to break down proteins, so it aids in that protein digestion, and it has something known as alpha galactoicide ase in this. Now, why is this important? Well, Alpha galactus side ase is an enzyme that aids in breaking down plant fibers because as humans, no, we're not like drafts, We're not just eating,
you know, just vegetables. So our body mechanically breaks down vegetables through the churning process, and then the peristalsis moving through the intestines. But once again, as we get older, that churning mechanism and that movement of food through the intestines can start to slow down, which is why many times people say, well, I was fine eating, you know,
off of the vegetable tray at this office party for years. Now, all of a sudden, I had some of these raw vegetables and I just don't feel right, you know, I feel really heavy, and how can this be? I just had vegetables. But that's why. It's because of that slowing down of the churning and the movement. So what's our remedy to this? Because as humans, as I said, we don't have a naturally occurring enzyme that automatically breaks down that cellulose from the plant. So we use alpha galacticidease
to help break that down. It's so efficient and effective at doing this. So if you're having you know, broccoli or Brussels sprouts, the alpha galactoside ase in the digestive HX helps to target those foods and say, oh hey, let's start, you know, chipping away at you so that the movement becomes easier for our body. And these are the reasons why people respond so well to the digestive HX formulation because it has all of these different nutrients
partnered up and combined together. So when you start to really dive into this and you're saying, okay, well I get the full blend of those pancreatic enzymes, I'm getting the batain, I get my bromolane. There's lactase in this. So if I have an issue with dairy, maybe I'm eating off of the old cheese platter and it's not sitting right, then having the lactase in this formulation will help with that breakdown of the dairy. And then it
has pepsin. That's another stomach very important stomach acid that we have to make sure that we have enough of to help aid in breaking things down. So digestive HX can be one of your best friends. Throughout the holiday season. But we also have something else that can be so helpful for you carb lovers, and that's our Phase two. So Phase two is the white kidney bean extract. And this is such a unique product in the sense of
the science that's behind this. And I always love to speak about a formulation such as this because it's from nature once again, and you say, okay, you have this white kidney bean. And what they could see is that the white kid being itself could actually help by reducing the way in which our body is digesting those bad carbs, those bad starches. So the form that we use is called Phase two. It's a registered trademark form. It's been clinically shown to reduce the digestion and the absorption of
dietary starches by close to seventy percent. So now think about your Thanksgiving dinner and you're like, here comes the stuffing, here comes the dinner rolls, and the pumpkin pie to follow. I need to try and blunt the effects of all of these carbs. Phase two, that's what we want to
turn to. I would be taking two capsules just before your Thanksgiving meal, because what we're trying to do is we are trying to block that absorption of those bad starches, and we know that the Phase two has been shown in those clinical trials to do that by upwards of
seventy percent. It's been extensively studied. There's been over fourteen clinical studies on Phase two that invite health offers, and we know not only is it beneficial for blocking that carbohydrate absorption, but it also has been shown to really assist in those who are seeking out to lose weight. And that's where some of the really impressive studies. When I started to look at this formulation many years ago, you know, great where you can block those bad carbs.
So if you're going out to you know, a dinner and you know you're going to be having pasta and bread and all that take your Phase two Thanksgiving dinner perfect example of bad bad carbohydrates. But we also, you know, can see how effective it is when it comes to the weight management. And there's really just such sound science on this. They're in the Journal of Nutrients in twenty twenty.
They talked about the effects of this very unique white kidney being extract on body composition and overall metabolic health, and some of the interesting findings from this was not only did the supplementation of Phase two help with blood sugar regulation, control of cholesterol, so if you had elevated triglycerides, they were seeing triglyceride levels come down in the test
groups that were taking Phase two. But was to see the significant and relatively rapid way in which the Phase two had an impact on BMI, so on the body mass index, but even more importantly to that was the percent body fat because I always say BMI sometimes can be a rough estimate because you're looking at height and weight, but your percent body fat gives you a much bigger, you know, indication of you know, what is my overall
metabolic health. So through these different studies, these over fourteen different studies on the Phase two formulation, we can see how it is effective at lowering that percent body fat. It's helping to improve upon our blood sugar regulation, helps to enhance insulin sensitivity. So it's just a powerhouse. And so for the holiday season, make sure you always have this.
I always say, if you work in an office building and you know there's going to be different office parties that are happening, keep your Phase two in your desk drawer. If you know you can keep it in your briefcase, keep it in your purse. Always have your Phase two around because during the holidays is when the wild amount of carbohydrates start coming your way, and we want to
be able to blunt that effect. So I have much There's more than I need to cover with you, but I do need to squeeze in one more break, so stick around. I will be right back just after this.

Just talked about the digestive HX formulation and that phase two. So we have the Thanksgiving buy one, get one free sale
going on right now. I still can't believe it's already Thanksgiving, but I will tell you it's a little chilly down here in South Florida, but it's nice. It's actually kind of a nice break. Sometimes you get so wore out by the heat and the humidity, so to get some nice crisp air it makes it a nice change of pace. But I don't want to just stick around for too long. I'll be honest about that one. So during the sale,
we have all of our products on special. And I always say, you know, you always want to zero in on a daily supplementation routine, so you know, taking one of our multivitamins, whether that's the core the performance, remember the performance, don't think of that just as you know for athletes, even though we have a lot of athletes
that use that product and rightfully so. But I want you to always think of that performance multi vitamin as the blood sugar heart support multi vitamin because you're getting the power of rodeola and you get the power of s O D superoxide dismutastes very important antioxidant. We know that in diabetics, your SOD levels will be low and because of that low level of that natural antioxidant in your system, this increases your risk for carotid artery stenosis.
So that's not good because then that means we're not getting adequate blood flow up to the brain. So remember the study out of nyu H. Why is it that diabetics seem to get dementia. Well, let's think about that. We're not getting proper blood flow or oxygenation. But what are things that we know. We know that diabetics need more coenzyme Q ten, We know that they need more superoxide dismutase. So always think of your daily routine. Say
what are my needs? You know, do I need to be taking the Invite Health Men's Multi Do I need the Women's am I good to go with the Core multivitamin, which on all of these have the bioactive powerful B vitamins in it, They all have the natural vitamin E spectrum in that they all contain a small amount of coenzyme Q ten to help to enhance that cellular energy. And they have the mini micro i support built right in,
so you're getting lutine, you're getting xeoxanthin. We know that those are very important not only for your eehealth, but also for brain connectivity. So always start your day with
one of our multivitamins. Talk to one of our nutritional experts to zero in which one is best for you, you know, and keep in mind too, even though they have the mini eye support in that for many individuals, if you are, you know, working in front of your computer screen frequently, or if you're always on your phone, it would be incredibly advantageous to also add in the macula advanced because we know that our carotenoid intake from foods alone, folks, we just don't get enough because think
about the predominant places where we get carotenoid exposure. So you're you know, red yellow orange pigmented vegetables and fruits and most people just do not take in a high enough amount of those on a daily consistent basis to keep up with the oxidative stress loss of those natural carotenoids. So this is why we want to supplement with those. And what's nice about the macula advance this is in
many ways has its own little spin to it. It's also like a little immune system formulation because it has your zinc in it, It has an acetyl system. It has Billberry extract, which we know is very helpful for the light absorber in your eye. So if you have a harder time seeing in like a dim light environment, you're always looking for a little flashlight, like I can't read something. Taking the macula advanced, having the power of that Billberry can help to enhance the redopsin production in
the eye. Plus you get the immune support from the nacetyl system because we know NAC which is another naturally occurring antioxidant in the body. But it has a lot of anti viral and anti bacterial properties to it, which is why it's been studied in the setting of influenza. It's been studied in the setting clearly now of COVID. It's certainly been shown to be highly effective in GI
bacterial infection known as H. Pylori. H Pylori is something you never want to mess around with because not only is that the leading cause for peptic ulcers not good, but it's also the leading cause when it comes to gastric cancers. So we never want to mess around with that very problematic pesky bacteria known as H. Pylori. And there's a strong, strong correlation, folks, between H. Pylori residual infection, meaning you many folks you know throughout the globe can
have an H. Pylori infection. Oftentimes the immune system will take care of that, but then it doesn't fully get rid of it, so it can come back and it starts to do over time damage to the lining of the stomach, which can then lead to the ulcer. But there's a really strong correlation between chronic H. Pylori unresolved infections and Parkinson's disease. So remember, everything is interconnected. We cannot isolate out one single organ system and say, okay,
this solely works by itself. Everything is interconnected, so we always want to think about that. And here's another thing you know during this time of year is grape seed extract because sometimes you come across different foods where maybe your GI system's like, you didn't really like that so much.
Grape Seed extract is a lovely thing to add on because not only is it helpful for the stress effects of the holidays to help better regulate your blood pressure, supports your vascular system, but we can also see how grape seed extract is very effective when it comes to reducing the inflammatory response and ox dative stress in GI conditions and gas stritis. In the Journal of Antioxidants about three years ago, they published their findings showing how effective
grape seed extract was at targeting H. Pylori infections. So looking at the bacterial infections, but you know, sometimes people can come across things like a little bit of salmonella or E. Coli. We don't want to run into those issues, so always having your bottle of Novida grape seed extract because of course at Invite Health we only use the best,
so we use Novida. It's a registered trademark form of grape seed extract, and the polyphenol spectrum that is contained in our grape seed distract is incredibly powerful and potent. So the OPCs as they are called oleegomeric pro anthosigndins very very strong, and this is why we use this specific red trademark form because we don't want to just use any random grape seed extract. We want to use only the best, the ones that have been shown in
clinical trials to be effective. And I will tell you our formulation has two hundred and fifty milligrams of grape seed extrects, so it's very powerful. So if you're thinking all along the lines of you know, peripheral artery disease, chronic venus and sufficiency hypertension, this is an excellent choice. Also very beneficial for the health of your kidneys, your brain health, and this particular product also helpful during the holidays if maybe you come across a food that's not
so friendly with your GI tract. We know that it can really go in and target that gas stritis or that inflammation that can occur. Now keep in mind you always want to partner that up with probiotics as well, and we have such an extensive line of probiotics. We have the Probatic HX, which is now available on a sixty count, which makes it nice because your bottle lasts longer. And then we have our probatic weight formulation, and of
course that would be super helpful during the holidays. That partners up the Biffidobactrum brevet B three along with the burguson FF which is a really unique blend of citrus extracts, so it's a Bergamont fruit. It comes from Italy and it also has artichoke extract from Italy and they both
work to better facilitate detoxification within the liver. And then it communicates your liver and your intestines are communicating when you're taking this product, so it helps with the way in which the body is processing the facts and the way in which our body can detoxify and help us lose weight.
