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. Welcome to another edition of Invite Health Radio. I'll be your host. My name is Jerry Hickey. I'm a pharmacist who specializes in nutrition. Took many many courses, spend thousands of hours studying nutrition as well as drugs. That's interesting because I understand you to play between drugs and nutrition and the body. So we talk about supplements on this program. We're all about supplements. Now.
I'm going to start off talking about melatona because it's become a rock star. Melatonin is a rock star. I mean melatonin is needed to heal the brain. When you take melatonin, and you take it generally about fifteen minutes before you go to bed to sleep, it allows the brain to create new brain cells. It's part and parcel of replacing lost memory cells. We didn't know this like ten twelve years ago, that you could replace memory cells, but
you can. The problem is that declines with age, just as the release of melatonin is also declining. It's part of the issue. It's not all of the issue, but it's part of the issue. Way we're not replacing as many brain cells. But when you take some melatonin, because you have to replace it as you get older, it helps you set you up. It helps set up your brain for replacing lost memory cells so that your brain
goes on working. Melatonin is also key to building bone. You do to lieon's share of building bone when you're sleeping, and melatonin sets the stage for that. It tells the body, hey, you know. It lets the body know what time of day it is. The body has to go through
different stages throughout the day and night. For instance, in the morning, you're releasing certain hormones and neurotransmitters that make the brain work and make the body work and control your blood sugar and everything like that, and controlling your energy, and at night you're releasing others. So a key to building bone is literally melatonin, and in human clinical trials they have used melatonin to rebuild bone in elderly women, plus it would work in elderly men too. Like myself.
Melatonin heals the intestines. If you have any kind of intestinal inflammation, melatonin is helpful. Once again, you take it about fifteen minutes before bet. Melatonin controls the immune system. It's one of the nutrients that controls the immune system. It's involved with vitamin D and magnesium, zinc and other nutrients for controlling the immune system. In fact, immune system is so dependent on melatonin that there are melotonin receptor sites on immune cells. Now something you may
not have heard before. You need melatonin for hair health. Once the hair emerges and it's finished growing, I said growing it finishes growing, it goes into the longest stage of hair, which is the dormant phase, and you need melatonin to keep that hair in your head. You need melatonin really set night to lower your body temperature, otherwise you can't sleep. If your head stays warm, you're not sleeping. Your your temperature has to drop a couple
of degrees. You also need melatonin to drop your nighttime blood pressure. If your nighttime blood pressure doesn't drop like it's supposed to. It's actually a dangerous thing. So if it remains high, if it hasn't gone down, if it remains normal, let's say, and then in the morning, you're flooding yourself when you first wake up with cortisol the stress hormone, and later on at Dennison, this can really affect your blood pressure. May could zoom up
the cortisole and that could be dangerous. That could trigger storks in some people or heart attacks. So you need melotonin for that natural drop and blood pressure that some people are resistant to, and that's a dangerous thing when your blood pressure doesn't drop at night. Melotonin is involved with blood sugar control, restoring your circadian rhythm. Now do I take melotonin, Yes, I do. I found out that if I don't take melotonin, I sleep only about five
hours. So this is a recent development, maybe in the past six months. So I started taking melotonin about fifteen minutes before bedtime. I feel great. I'm getting plenty of sleep. I'm getting six seven hours a night, so that's a big improvement. Now, reason research on melotonin, it's good for performance. How so performance, you know, physical performance, playing pickleball, playing tennis, running, lifting weights, kayaking, anything like that.
This is based on a review of twenty one studies that appeared in the journal Nutrients and what it does. Melatonin is a natural anti inflammatory agent. Now that's important, and we'll get into some other information about that, not related to this study directly, but important to your health in just a minute. So a review of twenty one studies, melatonin reduces inflammation throughout your body, including in your muscles. So if you do intense exercise, I like to
do intense exercise about three times a week, like lifting weights. I just enjoy it. I ride my bike almost daily. What happens that triggers inflammation and damage to tissues, including a muscle, tissue inflammation and the liver, so inflammation in your muscles. So when they reviewed these twenty one studies, and this has important implications for elderly health in general, we'll get to that once again. They found it reduced markers of inflammation in the blood. See
react to protein into leucns six TNF alpha. TNF alpha's nesty it's called tuminocrosis factor alpha, and it increased levels of very beneficial antioxidant enzyme systems like glutathine, peroxidase, cuproxid dis mutation, cataly So it increased the really good things and it decreased the really bad things. And this helped preserve muscle and prevent an inflammation in the muscle, which is very important for guy my age. I'm seventy years of age, and they look, now here's the thing.
Inflammation in general increases as we grow older. Our antioxtic defense systems decline. They can't protect our liver, our brain, our kidneys, et cetera as well as they used to. Melatonin, when you take it before bedtime, has this wonderful effect of increasing these defense systems in your body, restoring them to a much younger age, to the levels and activity of a much younger age. And these help defend your liver and your kidneys, and your brain,
your eyes, your heart. So I'm making a case here that older people really should consider melotonin. They really should. I think it's one of those supplements that's very effective and enhancing, protecting, restoring and preserving the health of US older citizens, US older individuals. So I would take it, like I said, about fifteen minutes before bedtime, and you can expect it to have a good benefit on your bone, even protecting your bone if your
bones are still healthy but preventing bone loss in the future. You can expect it to help protect your brain and enhance the rebuilding mechanisms in the brain that secure long term memory functions by enhancing the ability to recreate memory cells, give births and new memory cells at night when you're sleeping, when you go into stages of deep sleep, he can't expect a more appropriate immune system helping defend you from infections, and you can expect, of course, better nighttime sleep.
So melatonin is something I recently added to my armamentarium. I think it's wonderful. Another thing I added maybe a year ago is creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate is another rock star I mean talking about rock stars. The most recent rock star I bumped into was Steve Tyler. Remember him. He's from Aerosmith. I mean, the guy looked great. I think he's in his mid seventies. He's a little bit taller than me. Good looking guy, you
know. I remember Aerosmith. The first time I saw them, they were with Run DMC and they did that song Walked This Way, which was so much fun. So I'm in Lydditts, Pennsylvania, over in Pin Dutch Country. My family lives over in Pin Dutch Country, over in Lydittz, Pennsylvania, not far from Lancaster, about an hour and a half west of Pennsylvania of Philadelphia. And I walk into this delicacy store. I wanted to buy some cheese, and Steve Tyler's hanging out there, and I just spoke to
her for a minute. I said, Hi, I appreciate all your great work. I didn't try to shake his hand or anything, and that's it. Left him alone. It was a small place and we would jacket a little bit, you know, like always asking me what was I doing? Friendly guy, low key guy. So I go home. My brother has a studio, a music studio in Lyditz. My brother is a drummer. He used to drum with Joan Baez and Mountain remember Leslie West. And he
used to drum with uh Dino Danelli from the Young Rascals. And my brother's a great drummer and he's in this band now that plays Ormond Brothers music. I mean they have like a Dicky Bets and there. I mean a guy's amazing. But my brother's a really good drummer, And I asked him,
what what's Steve Tyler doing here? And he goes, oh, there's always musicians and singers here, And I go why, he goes, well, there's this huge studio nearby where they recreate sound stages, so if somebody's going on tour, they know exactly where the speakers are, where the guitar plays, where not to go because there's there's there's, you know, uh, some kind of problem with the music sound. So that's kind of cool.
Okay, let's get back to work here. A second thing I added besides melotonin, and I added this about a year ago, maybe nine months ago. Creatine monohydrate creatine model hydrate is a second rock star, just like melowtonin for Aging People, it's a rock star now. Creatine came out of the gym culture. See it creates phospho creatine that gives your muscles strength and endurance.
Phospho creatine is a source of energy for your muscles. Well, it turns out pospho creatine is also a source of energy for your heart and really for your brain. So I'm taking creatine not for my muscles. My muscles are doing pretty well, but I know it will help my muscles, I'm taking it for my brain. A dosive creatine will wake up your brain. It boosts cognitive performance, it boosts brain energy. I was sitting on the couch about five years ago. I had just done my Saturday this show.
I had just done this show, and in those days, the show was an hour and a half, so I was exhausted mentally after it. So I'm sitting on the couch saying, you know, it's my day off and I'd like to go out and do something, but I'm so exhausted. And then I realized it wasn't my that was exhausted. My body was fine, it was my brain that was tired. So creatine, besides giving strength and energy and endurance to your muscles, gives energy to your brain. And older
people we have a problem with brain energy. We might have an intact memory and cognitive skills, but we don't have the energy for them the function at their best. So when you take creatine, it starts to charge up the energy in your brain. Now, a new study just came out reinforcing that information. It's in the journal Nature, which is a great journal. It's
funny. Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine in Germany, and I found that if you had a poor night's sleep, even for a twenty five year old, even a twenty year old, if you had a poor nit's sleep in your brain as grog, you can actually take a dose of creatine and it'll wake up your brain. Your brain will function, and not only that, it'll function all day. Basically, it'll function for a nine hour period with the
peak effects reach at four to five hours. So if you had a terrible weekend, you had a wedding and you had to travel and all that, and last night you had a terrible night's sleep and you just, oh, your brain is hazy and exhausted, you take a scoop of creatine. It's
very safe and the brain gets recharged. And according to this data on it's actually a study done in people in their twenties who really burned the canal on both ends and the brain was recharged, the energy came back peak performance at four to five hours after taking a creatine and the effects lasted for nine hours. I mean, that's amazing. Really. So my son is a medical
editor. The fact, he's a manager in a medical editing company and he has roughly one hundred and twenty people of work under him, and they're in New York, they're in London, they're in Germany, and they're in China and India. So he has meetings all day and he's planning things all day long, et cetera. I'm going to get him creating, even though he's only like thirty two years old, because his birthday assume I'm going to get
him creating. And I'm going to say, listen, the mornings, you wake up and you got a lot of work to do and you're tired, just take a scoop at the Creatine. You'll be safe. It'll help you. So Creatine is a rockstar. Hey, we have to go to a break. I'm forgetting myself. We have to go to a break. Jerry Hicky. Invite Health.

Okay, Welcome back, Happy Saturday. Jerry Hickey here for Invite Health and my credentials Pharmacy and
nutrition Now. Rest Virtual rest Virtual is another supplement I take. I generally take it with my dinner and there was just more evidence that it's great for your circulation, more evidence coming out. It just there's a huge library, a big volume, an archive of data on rest Virtual being great for your circulation, great for your heart, great for your brain. It's what we call vaso active. It makes blood flow properly. So a study came out
published in the International Journal of Molecular Science. It's from the Department of Vascular Biology and Thrombosis Medical University of Vienna. So let me explain what that journal is all about, because it's important. Vascular biology is keeping your heart and your arteries and your blood vessels and your circulation and the circulation and your brain, et cetera working and healthy. Thrombosis is blood clots. So this is
all about keeping you alive. It's touching on the major dangers to us strokes, heart attacks, clogged arteries. So what they found once again when they reviewed the data is and these people are highly skilled. These are the kind of people you want this data from. You want this information from. These people know what they're talking about. This is what they do. Res Virtual reduces inflammation in your blood vessels. Now we'll go into what that means for
your health in a minute. But one thing it does, it helps prevent stiffening of the arteries in your heart. That's the biggest killer on the planet, athrosclerosis or teriosclerosis or teriolos sculosis, you know, stiffening of different blood vessels. Respiratual helps prevent that, but most importantly it helps prevent it from happening in the heart, atherosclerosis. So that's important because the blood vessels and
the heart aren't that big. Even though they call them arteries, which are your biggest blood vessels, the arteries in your heart are more like a sippy straw, you know, those little cardboard containers they put in kids lunch boxes with the apple juice in them, and they get that little straw that punctures a hole and let you drink out of that little box. That's about how big the arteries are in your heart, so it's easy to clond them.
One of them, in fact, is called the widow maker because there's a lot of widows because their husbands had that artery clogged. Because that's the artery that supplies oxygen rich blood to the whole body. And there's not a lot of arteries in your heart and it's easy to clond them if you're not eating well, and if you're using tom with salt and you're not exercising, or you're diabetic, or myriad other reasons, a host of reasons why you could
get blockages in the heart. It's very dangerous. So restfverge for all works by increasing nitric oxide in your blood vessel walls. What natric oxide is a secret to effect of youth And this is not a joke. You need nitric oxide for good immune system function, you need nitric oxide for brain function, you need nitric oxide for blood to flow, for a healthy heart, et
cetera. It does a lot of things. And one way that respirtul restores nitric oxide is by interacting with good bacteria in the intestines and good at bacteria in the mouth so that they can make nitric oxide. Now here's the thing, naitric Oxide levels drop with age. Now what does nitric oxide? What's its key activity? Pushing open your blood vessels like in your heart or in your neck to get blood flow to the brain, or blood flow to the
heart, or blood flow around the body. So the levels decline with age. Respirtual helps stabilize the levels and bring back the levels. And by doing this, one of the things it's doing is reducing inflammation in the uteries and the heart, helping prevent clogged arteries in the heart. So that's a very important fine But this ties in strongly with all the brain research on rest virtual.
By reducing the inflammation in your blood vessel walls, rest virtual is helping protect your kidneys, the little blood vessels of the kidneys that filter red toxins, your eyes, the blood vessels in the beck of your eyes, your brain, which we're going to talk about, your heart, your liver, etc. All these different organs and tissues. So how does this tie in strongly with the brain research. Well, it's more evidence that rest virtual is
vaso active. There was a resource study on women out of Australia maybe two years ago. One hundred women. Fifty went on rest virtual and fifty went on placebo for a year and then they switched them over the second year. The people on placebo, which is an inactive pill, went on rest virtual and vice versa, and they found that res virtual restored circulation. These were
older women. Rest virtual restored circulation in their to their aging brain. Now it was perfectly offsetting the decline in circulation to the brain that occurs with aging that sets the brain up for memory loss, fatigue, depression, even mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease and even Parkinson's disease. And I'll all explaining that
in a minute. So, for instance, there was a study, the first study I saw in res vitual on the brain was out of Berlin, Germany, a bunch of academic research institutions like the Max Planck Institute in Berlin, Germany, and they gave older people, people in their seventies and eighties, rest virtual two hundred milligrams a day for six months or placebo, and they did these powerful imaging tests of the brain, like functional MRIs, and
they found that rest virtual restored circulation to these older brains because the blood vessels in the neck, just like the blood vessels in the heart, they stiffened with age and there's less blood getting into the brain, which is because the brain is not getting enough oxygen, enough vitamins and enough minerals, enough anything, enough nutrition in general. So and they saw these functional MRIs that the parts of the brain involved with memory, knowing where you are, knowing who
you are, learning. All these different parts of the brain, like the dentate gyris and the anti ramal cortex at the hippocampus were really doing well. They were prospering because of the restored circulation in the brain, restored circulation in the brain due to the respritual supplement, and they were regrowing and reconnecting and functioning together and memory improved, memory improved. So there's a lot of dynamic
research that res fertual is great for the brain. I remember the studies out of Georgetown University where they actually gave Alzheimer's patients respritual and was improving their brain function. They were becoming more with it, more independent again, like get you know, they could find their way to the commissary to eat, they could dress themselves. So one of the things that Georgetown University found was res vitral helps restore the health of the blood brain barrier, which is a winner.
And this is a major reason why I take rest vitul. I take it for circul to the brain. Now, mind you, I do exercise, and exercise is good for circulis into the brain, but the rest virtual also restores the health of the blood brain barrier. There are immune cells that function in the brain that maintain the blood brain barrier, and the blood brain barrier is extra insulation of the blood vessels of the brain to keep bad things out of the brain, to keep toxins and viruses and bacteria, et cetera
out of the brain. These immune cells learning in the blood vessels slow down with age, so you start to get a leaky blood brain barrier. And that's one of the reasons why there's more likelihood of becoming depressed or forgetful as you grow older, or it's or just memory dysfunction in general, because the blood brain aary is becoming leaky and bad things are getting into the brain. Now, So an important finding in all this research is that res virtual repays
the blood brain paarer. Now. One of the ways it does this is it interacts with the good bacteria in the intestines and the good bacteria in the mouth, and that's why it helps because these bacteria create the nitric oxide. We're missing nitric oxide as we grow older to our circulation declines because you need a nitric oxide to pump up in the blood vessel. It's just like filling
a flat tire. What the air the nitric oxide works like that pumps open the blood vessels, so as it declines, there's less circulations and the heart, to the muscles, to the brain, we suffer. We really suffer, decreased physical performance, fatigue, poor brain function, the heart becomes in danger. So the rest virtual is interacting with the bacteria to create the nitric
oxide. Now, one thing they're finding about this is it helps protect you from not Stylesheimer's and mild cognitive impairment to a degree, but also Parkinson's disease. It turns out one of the causes of Parkinson's disease, maybe the major cause, maybe the most common cause, besides chemicals, perhaps is poor gut health and bid bacteria the gut. And they found out rest virtual restores the gut brain access to reduce your risk of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a
movement disorder where your body is shaking. You have trimmers in your hands and your head, and eventually it affects your breathing muscles. So that's scarier than anything. But there's also Parkinson's dementia. It's a very common dementia. So the rest Virtual besides for me where my brain still functions. Fine, it's rebuilding my blood brain barrier to keep toxins out of my brain, and it
does boost my circulasion to my brain. But it's also reducing my risk of heart disease, clogged lotteries, likely a mouth cognitif imp payment, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Now, the other thing about res virtual, it's great for your lungs. Long function declines with age. Our respiratory volume we just you know, you see it when you go into basketball court. You go into basketball court with a bunch of grandkids and they're like about it. Breath.
But the res virtual makes your lung story wor again because lung is generally weakened with age. So there's a lot of positives res virtual for your heart, for your brain, on fe your lungs. Okay, let's go to a breakchare here, can you Invite HEALTHCN go anywhere, I'll be right back.

Okay, welcome back Jerry Hickey for invite Health. There. I don't forget. Invite health has superior quality supplements because they seek out ingredients that have been used in many human clinical trials. Now, first of all, these are cleaner supplements, they're fresher supplements because they're not going to do a clinical trial
with substandard ingredients in places like Harvard and Columbia University. In all these places I mean these places literally Mayo Clinic, they've literally used our ingredients in their studies. Now the ingredients when they're used in all these human clinical trials, I mean these are not studies in guinea pigs and then sells in a test tube. These is the or a petri dish. These a studies in humans. When the studies are done in humans, it shows you, first of
all, that's something safe. Okay, it has to be safe, otherwise we don't want it. There are companies that sell supplements that are not safe because they're popular. We don't do that. Even if they're popular. If they're not safe, we don't allow them. We don't use them, we don't have them incorporate into our products. Everything we have is really safe. That's the first thing, so we're never going to hurt you. The second
thing is they have to have benefit. They have to mean something. So when they're used in the human clinical trials, multiple human clinical trials, it shows that they're safe and that they do something. They actually have an indication for use, They actually have a benefit. But it also tells us how much you should take and when to take it. So that's the kind of
info that's the kind of data that Invite provides. That's why they have all the nutritionists working there, and you could cool them seven days a week. They'll put you in touch with one. They're nutritionists. You could go in and meet them, you could send them an email. So these products are clean, they're safe, they're fresh, they work, and we know how much to give. We're not guessing at the dosage. We know how much to put in the capsule or the tablet of the liquid or the pattern.
We know how much to put in there. And Invite. Because they're bigger and stronger than they used to be, they're able to get you a better price now they have a better price, So they're really worth dealing with, especially for your most important nutrients like your multi vitamin, like your creatine, like your melotonine, like your fish oils. So i'll give you an example. The Envite fish ways are made in They're encapsulated in Canada from very clean
fish and they check them. These are pharmaceutical quality. They're pharmacy grade. You can't buy a better grade than that. They're pharmaceutical grade. That's the cleanest. They're very fresh, there's no mercury in them or plasticides. Or plastics or anything like that. There's nothing like that in there, and they're enterre coated. So why is that important for a fish oil Because the stomach
acids destroy fish oils. So when you eat salmon, yeah, you do absorbed fissiles, but not as much as you think, not as much as in that piece of salmon, because your stomach acids are destroyed. So in a enterret coat official capsule, there's a number of benefits that come out of that. First of all, it keeps it fresh. It's vegetarian coating. It's vegetable coating, and it keeps oxygen now and the oxygen can't damage the fissiles. Secondly, it gets past your stomach acids and breaks down in your
small intestine and launch intestine where it does the most good. It's absorbed. Fats are absorbed lowered down in the digestive tract, so it can benefit more for your liver, it can benefit more your heart. You're getting more of it and it's fresh and it's clean. But also because it's enterret coated, it could reduce inflammation in your intestines. So if you have like colitis or
crow disease or irritable thousand roam or anything like that. Our fish shows will help that more than other fish shows because of the entire coning, because of the special coding. Now, we also have the cleanest krill on the planet, and our krill has been used in many scores of human clinical trials.
It's from Norway. They have research vessels that harvest the krill down in Antarctica, the cleanest waters on the planet, but they leave plenty of krill left over for the mammals like the blue whales, the biggest mammal that ever the biggest animal that ever lived, and the biggest single animal that ever lived. Now, our krill is rich in ingredients that like fish wails, but it also has the ingredients to create a seed coaling. So that's a really important
point. And we just got a new batch of krill. We have very fresh krill. It's always fresh, just like our fis shows. It's always fresh. It's the real thing, no nonsense, Hey, no fake news. This is real. And our krill is rich in the ingredients that shield brain cells, that lower the risk of a heart attack and sudden cardiac death, but also that make your memory function better. See aceetyl colin is the
trigger for remembering something. It's also the trigger for solving something like if you got off the highway to wrong exit, how do you get back on? How do you get to where you're going? Of course we have GPS for that now in our cell phone, right, But in any event, a setl colin allows you to solve problems, figure out problems, and then dopamine allows you to act on what you learned, so they work together. A setyle colin allows you to learn something new and retain it. So when you
remember anything, anything at all. The difference between a pen and a pencil, that's a setyle coaling. What time you should go to bed, that's a setle coling, a recipe remembering that, that's a setle cold. The name at a restaurant you went to last night, if you have a wedding next month, all of that is a setal colding. A setyle colding naturally decreases with age. Krill gets the ingredients into your brain effectively and efficiently.
Foster title colin, foster title, ethanolamine poster title, andocetol foster title colin, foster title, sereing and officials gets these into your brain. So the brain works well. Do you have a lower risk of depression, so you have a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, and so your memory functions well.
Because you're able to make a setal colin out of the ingredients in our krill, and our krill is clean and fresh, you're not going to get a cleaner, fresher krill, a natural with a higher natural content of these wonderful things for your brain and your eyes and your heart. Believe it or not, the things in krill are good good for your heart and your circulation. They're good for your eyes and vision and color vision and seeing sharply good for
your brain and memory and mood. But they're also good for women's breasts. Believe it or not, Officials are important for women's breasts. They're important for your skin, they're important for your muscle. They're really important for your muscle. You need it for muscle health. And they're also important for building bone. You know, just because you always hear about calcium envitamin D for building bone and exercise, it's not just that. And a good diet, you
know, an alkaline type diet and anti inflammatory type diet. It's also of ficials They're very important for your bone and your muscles, not just your brain and your heart. So when you deal with Invite, you're getting quality stuff, and that's important because these nutrients really have an impact on ongoing health. So you want good, clean, high quality ingredients like Invite offers. That's what you want. You want the good stuff. Now, my brain works,
well, there's no doubt about. I'm seventy years old. My brain works fine, and in fact, I don't feel I really go out of my way to challenge my brain. I read very complex books, I do complex puzzles, I paint, I exercise, I eat my vegs. Do I do all those things? I take the right supplements. But there's a number of supplements that are important for the brain besides the crew, besides the melotona, besides the creatine montal hydrate. Now, one of them is biocurcumen.
Now, once again, that's some other supplement that's been used in many human clinical trials. Our biocurcumen five lox in. They're using them to help with multiple skurosis patients. They're using them to help treat cancer by adding them to chemotherapeutic drugs for better effects. But that's not what we're talking about. They use them for arthritis, for muscle pain, for nerve pain, for back pain, and shoulder pain. They used them for autoimmune disease. These
ingredients, but they're also good for your brain. They're also good for your brain. We're not going to go into the brain part of it. The studies I was reading before this show was on biocurcubit. Turmeric has about one hundred and sixty five ingredients, and many of them are hard to absorb. So when you have curry, you're not absorbing as much turmeric as you think, so you're getting less curcubin. That's the ingredient everybody knows, but that's
not the only good ingredient in turmeric. When I was in Ireland, we used to call the turmeric. I was born in Ireland. People in English places or Irish places called the turmeric, but it's turmeric. So if you get out of Caribbean, people call it tumeric, but it's turmeric. I mean, in America we call it turmeric. And the biocurcumen is a form of turmeric that's really well absorbed and really rich in all these ingredients, not
just curcumen. But it's loaded with curcumin. So I tell people you can add our bio curcumin five oxen to the drugs you're taking for an autoimmune disease. So if you had hashebosthyroiditis, the biocurricumin five loxin would help protect your thyroid. If you had rumatoid arthritis, there's studies on biocurcumen helping people with rumatoid arthritis. In fact, Harvard reviewed some of those studies Harvard Medical School.
It's real biokurcumen helps rumatoid authoritis. So if you have rumatoid arthritis and you're on a drug like methotrexa or whatever drug you're taking advil a, leave add to biocurcumin five lox into it and it'll work even better. But you can add the bio curcumin five oction basically to your arthritis drugs for better effect.
So if you have like an arthritic elbow, an arthritic thumb, arthritic shoulder, arthreatic spine, arthretic hip, arthritis in your knee and your ankle wherever it might be, and your toes, and you don't want to go on the scary of drugs, you can add the biocurcument five oc to anti arthritis drug even the data day drugs, and biocurcument five oxen, unlike many of the drugs, does not raise your blood pressure, so it's very safe
to take now. I actually take biokracumin five ox from my brain at Foster is better memory for about six hours. So if you take it with your breakfast, your memory works better. Your brain is less fatigued. But I'm taking it because it causes to release a brain to rive neurotrophic factor. This is something you release when you go into deep sleep to germinate the growth of new memory cells. You're capable of growing about six hundred memory cells every night,
but all the people don't do it. We don't release enough brain derived neu truffic factor. Today's six human studies at this point that I know of. There might be more, but I know of six where if you take biocurcumen you get a natural release of brain derived NERD truft refactor and you create more memory cells when you go to sleep at night. That's good because you have cognitive reserve. Your memory goes unfunctioning. Even if things went wrong with
your brain at some point your memory should still go unfunctioning. So, but most people use the biocurricumuent five blocks and for a back pain, knee pain, hip pain, arthritis, but also muscle pain and nerve pain like sayatica, plantar fasci itis in the heel. That kind of stuff. It's really good for pain and it's safe for pain. Take it with food. It's absorbed better, it'll work better. Bio curricumin five lolocks.

Okay, welcome back, Jerry Hicky. It's the last second of a program. And I've said this many times, but it's a privilege for me to be able to speak with you. I consider it an honor. I really do, and thank you for listening. Now.
Invite has superior multivitamins, So where am I going with this? Virtually everyone will get some level of benefit from a multivitamin, some more than others. So for a typical child or twenty year old or healthy thirty year old, what can they expect from a multivitamin, Well, some level of protection, but what they really get out of it is is slightly sharper brain function. There's been a number of studies and children and college students and adults and
when you give them a multivitamin, it just it's brain food. It really is food, but it becomes even crucial, even more important in different scenarios. So once again, does a child have to have a multivitamin, Well, it depends on their nutrition, It depends on their diet, but it's always good to give them a nice kid's multivitamin. There were things in there that are good for their immune system, the development, their energy, their
brain function. And the research shows that when kids get a decent multivitamin, their brain works better in school. Same with the college student, the same with the high school students. Same with people in their thirties and forties. Do they have to have a multivitamin? No, of course not, but it really does help them, But it becomes more important in certain situations.
Once you hit fifty, you really should be at a multivitamin. Studies show, like the Physician's Health study, that multivitamins, when taken consistently by older people, help prevent herder attacks. What's scarier than a heart attack? Oh yeah, they come tax but multivitamins, a good multi vitamin helps prevent heart attacks even and people with heart disease. The trick is you have to be on them long term. But that's good because it's also crucial for an older
brain. Brains soak up certain vitamins and minerals to function, like zinc, like magnesium, like calcium, like all the bee vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E. They soak them up. They have to have. It's very important for the brain. So this becomes even more of a concern in aging people. Older people have trouble, like myself, absorbing things from food. They have trouble absorbing fish oils. That's why I always preach, you know, take akrill oil or eat more fish, or take a fish oil supplement.
They have trouble of absorbing certain bee vitamins and activating them. They have trouble absorbing the mineral zinc. They have trouble absorbing loutine for vision and memory, zia zantin for vision and memory. So it becomes an issue. So for older people it's really important. Also people with heart disease, people with diabetes. Multi vitamin has become very important for these people. So let's talk about older people because that's the fastest expanding segment of our population by far.
Plus I happen to be an older person, Plus a lot of our listening audience are older people. Let's go through the numbers on invite. Let's go through some ingredient by ingredient, because the supplements that a lot of you are taking as a multivitamin are really not that great, substandard or just okay or mediocre. When you're older, especially, you want a really high quality multivitamin. I mean, if you can afford one thing and you only want to
get one thing, get an invite multivinement. So I'm going to start off talking about lutin and z is antin. Most small dividemins like the centrom et cetera, when they put luten or z x antine and they put so little in it practically doesn't mean anything. We put a lot of lieuten in z is antin in our invite multis So what's so important about that. Well, a study just came out, a six month study. Our lieuten in z is anton the one you get in our multivitamin, and kids increase their eyehealth
and boosted their cognitive performance in school. It's in the journal Advances in Therapy, University of Georgia. But this is the thing. It does the same thing in older people. Lutine is the number one pigment in the human brain number one pigment in the human brain, but the amount of lutine declines decade after decade after decade. So a newborn huge amount of loutine in the brain.
A person who's eighty ninety one hundred very little. But you need utine to protect the brain, to shield it from damage, and you need lutine for the memory to function. You also need loutine to see clearly and to see far. So our multi has a good amount of lieutenancy is antem for your memory and for your vision. But that's not just that. We also have an air methical baaloment that's a form of B twelve that handled that converted
to all forms of B twelve. B twelve exists in human body in many forms, like it exists as cobama mide, and it exists as methical baal methical balloment is really important for your brain and your nerve function. The problem is not all seniors can convert the kind of B twelve and most multi vitamins called cienical balloment where they take ambalment and they attach it to cyanide. So we're using methical ballom and the kind that's actually present in your brain because with
that methical balloman it basically your brain rots and your nerves get damaged. So we put methical balment in there because some people have trouble converting the typical twelve used in most multi vitamins into the active form, and the same with folic acid. Folate is a is a B complex vitamin, ubiquitous and foliage. That's why they call it folate. So the problem is in multivitamins they use
folic acid, and not everybody can activate folic acid. They can't change it into what it needs to be. What it needs to be is something called MTHF, also known as methyl tetrahydrofolic It's a must have for us older people. Methyl tetrahydrofolate helps freevent Alzheimer's. A major cause of Alzheimer's, not the
only cause is something in a brain called homocysteine. It's a cause of depression and it's a cause of Alzheimer's. And if you can't convert the folic acid or to folate and vegetables into MTHF, you can't lower the homocysteine in the brain, you have a higher risk of Alzheimer's. So in our multis. At the envite multise, we use the methyl tetra hydro folate active version that
protects your brain. So that's a key. So we have little tenancies anthon in there, we have methical balomen in there, we have methyl tetra hydrofolate in there. We have tocotriantoles. Tiny amounts of Token triangles shield the brain. Like they've seen that a certain amount of token trinoles in the brain lowers the risk of a stroke. You get a good amount of token trinoles. It's a form of natural vitamin E in this multi it's missing in the American
diet. You don't get token trial in the American diet. You get in like an Asian diet. But the toco triangles shields the brain, but also is great for your liver. I mean it really cleans out your liver. You're also getting natural lycopene. Natural likopene is the pigment in tomatoes. It's not easy to absorb from tomatoes or other fruit. It's president o the red
fruits. It's hard to absorb. So they found that the lycopene and tomato sauces well absorbed because it's in an oil base of olive will, So why would you want to absorb licopene. It's super good for your skin health, it's amazing and protecting your arteries to help lower your risk of a heart attack or stoke or clogging in the arteries, haunting the arteries. But it also helps protect a man's prostate from growing, and it also helps protect a woman's
breasts from inflammation. So you'd have to have a bowl of tomato sauce every morning to get the amount of lycopene five milligrams. And the Invite multie so like the Invite Performance Multi to give you extra energy to exercise, or the Invite Core Multi, or like the Invite for women, you know those kind of things. There's a lot of lycopene in there. So you're not getting all of these ingredients in your multi vitamin. Plus, what you are getting
might not be the best source. It's not going to be the best sources z inc for good absorption, you need zinc for digesting your food, for controlling your blood sugar, for controlling the immune system, and protecting your brain and eyeballs and your heart. You're not going to get the best form of many of the ingredients like to be vitamins like we have any Invite multis. So that is a really important point I'm making. And the Invite Multie are
a really important supplement to take. And most of the ingredients and the Invite Multie have been used in you and clinical trials. We know they're clean, we know they're safe, we know they work, and we test and we retest to make sure these products are safe, that they're fresh, and that there's the right amount of each ingredient that matches the amount on a label. We really jump through hoops to get that done. Now, there's so many
products that Invite has, so how do you wade through that? Well, you get an educated person to help with your selection, and that's why you deal with Invite. Also, they have real nutritionists who went to school and study. They didn't just read a book. You know, you go into a lot of these health food stores and there's somebody in there that read a book. Anybody could read a book, and books are generally not totally honest, to be frank with you. They dramatized the information and books and they
leave that information to sell the book. They want to sell the book. That's how they make a living. So we have people who went to places like en why You to study nutrition. They know what they're talking about. They spent years studying this stuff. So when you need advice, that's the kind of person you want to speak to. You know, when you need a hard test, to go to a cardiologist. When you need a supplement, you go talk to these people at Invite, these genuine, accredited degree
nutritionists. That's where you get because these supplements are a lot more important than you think. Because supplements like you bickwen all have been shown to help prevent heart attacks. Supplements like melatonin and biocurcumen have been shown to help preserve memory
function. Supplements like melatonin have been shown to build bone. You can't just walk into a store and get that kind of info, but you can from Invite because that's what we do. That's what we've been doing for decades and only that once again they roll back their prices and you cannot get higher quality. Now. I wanted to talk about ubiquinoral a little bit today because more research has come out on how it gets rid of physical fatigue and improves your
physical performance. Ubiq one is the active form of coque tep and we have one hundred and twenty million in ubiquinal, but also how it slows down the aging process dramatically. It kind of reverses it literally. And our ubiquinal has nadh in it. That's super powerful. It's probably the ubique will and the nadhm. The strongest thing is for reversing the aging process because you beckonlawus a key at releasing energy from food, and you just take one a day with
your breakfast. It helps protect your heart lord's your risk of heart attacks, according to data, improves your physical function, gets rid of fatigue, and helps push back on the aging process. I'm out of time. It's been wonderful speaking with you. I'll be back on here in two Saturdays. Next week is doctor Amanda Williams. She's fantastic. God bliss, have a great day.
