Get ready for tomorrow's nutritional Science Today right here, right now, Happy Saturday. Welcome to another edition of Invite Health Radio. My name is Jerry Hickey. I'm a nutritional pharmacist and it's always an honor and a privilege to be here representing Invite Health on this program discussing good nutrition, especially to utilization, the correct utilization of supplements. Let's get on with the program because I
have a lot to talk about today now. Immunity HX is a supplement you should be taking, especially if you're over the age of sixty, which many of you in this listening audience are, And it's a combination of three really important nutrients. And the problem is the level of all three nutrients declines in the winter. The vitamin C is in there, and that's used up due to stress from the body trying to maintain a warmer temperature. So the vitamin
C is used up. You need that for your immune system. It's critical. The zinc is used up for a similar reason. You don't really store zinc in the body, and you use it up inappropriately because the body is stressed out and immune systems stressed out. What kinds of things are going on that use up your zinc more rapidly than you would in warmer weather. And vitamin D you're just not making it. I mean, what imped your ability to make vitamin D, which is so critical to a good immune system.
Dark skin prevents you from making it. Using sunscreen prevents you from making it. Winter because you're not out in the sun, prevents you from making vitamin D. But so does old skin, and so does obesity. Obesity is terrible for fatty soluble vitamins because they get stuck in the extra at a post
tissue around your waist and they don't work for you. So obese people, older people, during the winter, everybody, people with darker skin, they have to have vitamin D supplementation, and that also follows suit for diabetics and pre diabetics because you need vitamin D, especially along with zinc and vitamin C to help diabetics control their blood sugar and help protect them from their elevated blood sugar. The vitamin C helps protect them, and zinc and vitamin D are
involved with controlling blood sugar levels both up and down. Now, Vitamin D and zinc and vitamin C make immune system work, and there's viruses flying all over the place. I mean, people are getting sick left and the right. It's just the way it is. Are they one open hospitals? No? But who wants to wind up in bed for a week sick? So I guess some are one open hospitals, but no one I know. In any event, more data has come out that vitamin D is required to maintain
brain health and memory as we age. Now the research is very powerful with vitamin D helping the lower the risk of dementia. Now most dementias, I think seventy eighty percent of world dementias are Alzheimer's, So we could say vitamin
D is necessary for helping to prevent Alzheimer's. And there's enough data now that the government should be giving stronger recommendations the European governments, the British government, the American government should be giving stronger recommendations to our citizens to use vitamin D supplements and not doing that, they're dropping the ball for your health and your
protection and your welfare. And it's putting us a real stress on the insurance company is because they have to ensure our health right and it's putting a real stress on the on the medical industry and the hospital industry and all. So it really is incumbent upon a guy like me to say, hey, shouting for the rafters, take your vitamin D. So, vitamin D supplements are absolutely linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. And also even if you
were going to develop dementia, it would happen much later on. You'd have a much longer life that's free of dementia. Now, dementia and cognitive cognitive decline unformed unfortunately become common as we age, and once you have dementia, real dementia, there's no going back. Once you have real dementia, that's it. You've got it, and it gets worse and worse. It's quite progressive. So now it's estimated that's for eight percent of all cases of dementia
could be avoided. Many cases of Alzheimer's could be avoided. And you know some of the stuff, getting enough sleep, eating a really good diet with lots of vegetables and fresh fruits and salad and fresh nuts and things, seeds, things like that, spices and herbs, I mean fish. That's a way of preventing dementia. Getting exercise is a short form of way of getting
it's a real tool for preventing dementia. Even walking, like if you walk over seven five hundred steps a day, especially if you do it in a faster way, like a more brisk fashion, you prevent dementia with that pretty strongly. And that's another conversation. But right now, and this is really important for people to obesity and people with diabetes, they're especially likely to develop dementia and cognitive decline. They did a study, this is a fascinating study
with vitamin D vitamin D supplements and it was all different potencies. They didn't really zero in on the potency. We don't know the exact potency. That's great for you at this point, but I'd say at least two thousand units a day with food. Vitamin D is betterops up with food. It's a ten year period, ten year study over twelve thousand people. Twelve four hundred people, approximately almost five thousand took a vitamin D supplement and the others did
not. Now, they averaged seventy one years of age at the start of the study, so at the end of the study they averaged eighty one years of age. Over ten years, two thousand, six hundred and ninety six participants developed dementia, six hundred and seventy nine from the vitamin D group, twenty and seventeen from the group that did not take vitamin D. So it's over three as manny and the non vitamin D group wound up with dementia. Now, of course, there might be other things that would affect that.
Maybe the people who took vitamin D used their brain more, Maybe they had a greater education, because that doesn't matter, because that forces you to use your brain in those younger years. We called that neoplasticity creating pathways. It's really good in connectivity in the brain. It's really good. And never stopped
doing that. Maybe they ate better, maybe they exercised more, but it was conclusive enough that not taking vitamin D is a real problem because his why this is the University of Michigan School of Medicine in twenty eighteen, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, people who had vitamin D deficiency were in trouble mentally, in trouble. It really meant something. It really meant something, Whereas if they only lacked vitamin D, if it was a little bit low,
it's still mean something. So being deficient in vitamin D for your brain was worse than being insufficient. So in other words, if you're a little low vitamin D, it meant something for your brain in a bad way. But if you're very low vitamin D, it was a disaster for your brain. So an easy way for you to get enough vitamin D and still take care of your immune system is take an immunity HX every day with a meal.
So I usually take my multi vitamin in the morning, so I'm spreading out the wealth because there's some zinc, there's some vitamin D, and there's some vitamin C in a multivitamin, and then I take the immunity HX with lunch. Could I take it with dinner instead? Of course? Could I take the longer my multi of course, but I just want to get the most from my money, So this is the way of getting the most out of my money. Am I work. So immunity HX is something I really
strongly recommend, especially if you're diabetic or if you're obese. It's very important to understand this. If you're obese, that means you have a lot of extra adipose tissue and the vitamin D gets trapped in it because vitamin D goes into fat, so it's not available for your brain and your heart and your immune system. So if you've got a lot of belly going on, you need more vitamin D. It's straightforward, it's no nonsense. It's real.
If you're diabetic, you need more vitamin D. It's harder for diabetics to activate vitamin D, so they need more. If you're older, you need more vitamin D. How much do I think all the people need. It depends on their age. Like I'm going to be seventy in February, so I'd say I need in the winter three thousand units a day and the summer two thousand units a day. That should be sufficient for me, and the best way to do it is have your doctor check your blood level and then
take some and see how much your blood level goes up. You'll give it a couple of months. That's called titration. So you go to your doctor. They check the vitamin D level. The doctor says, hey, this is way too low. You start taking some vitamin D. A couple of months later, you get checked again. You see how much it went up. Not enough. Increase the dosage a little bit. I mean, that's how it works. So I just want to really hamm it at home right
now. If you want to stay healthy, but long term, if you want to keep your brain healthy, immunity HX is there for you because the vitamin C. You know, besides the immunity HX helping your immune system and the vitamin D, it protects your brain because the vitamin D is needed to protect your brain. There's receptor sites in your brain that only vitamin D unlocks and they won't work without vitamin D. The vitamin C is important and a
fatty tissue in the brain. It protects the fatty tissue and it protects the white tissue at the brain. The fatty tissue of the brain's about ten percent. You know, the gray matter. I shouldn't say the fatty tissue. The gray matter of the brain's about ten percent of the brain. Another fifty percent of brain is the white matter. Vitamin C is very active in protecting both types of brain tissue. And then zinc is a super powerful protector of
your brain, just like it's a super powerful protector of your eyeballs. So this is a very good formula for you. Okay, let's go to a break. We'll go in a little bit early. Jerry Hicky, Invite Health. I'll be right back. It is cold and flu season again. Is

com. Okay, welcome back Jerry Hickey here. I know that last year we didn't really get any snall. Well, this year made up for it. My son does heavy equipment and he's been running those snowplows. Okay, let's get back to the show. Krill oil krill oil or eating fish or taking a fish will capsule are really important for you staying alive because they help prevent sudden quadiac death. Okay, that's I mean, you don't need any other reason to consume either one of the three, and you could consume all
three. So eating I eat fish and I take krill. Okay, I eat fish, Like last night, boy, I had tuna. I had another kind of fish that I can't even name. I'm not kid, it's some weird fish. I eat fish several times a week when I can, when it's really fresh. I only eat very fresh fish, but otherwise I take my krillinal capsules, and even the days I eat fish, I'm taking
krill oil. Because there's other things in krill oil besides the fish wails that are really good for your brain, like a form of coaling bee vitamin that gets it to your brain that makes the brain work. But there was a study recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concerning krill and it was a six month study, which is lots of time to prove or disprove this. It's a multi center PLACEBA controlled randomize human clinical trial, a lot of different
academic research institutions and clinics to partners. Krill was taking the pain and the discomfort away from mild to moderate arthritis. If you have severe arthritis, use the biocurricumin five oxin moderate to severe arthritis biocurcumin five oxin. But if you have mild arthritis, you could just do krill oil and that the saime krill oil is good for your heart, krill oil is good for your brain. So that's just one of a growing number of good quality studies that shows that
krill oil is good for arthritis. What else is it good for well, it's important for the brain. Your brain is mostly composed of fat, fat, and water. It's like sixty percent fat as far as the uh the solids, and you need to write fats the right. Fats are not buttered,
they're not margarine. They're things like fishials. But krill has other things that make your brain that literally make the cells in your brain, the thinking cells, because you can make new thinkings, new memory cells every night when you go to sleep, when you go on to deep sleep, you release these nerve growth factors like brain drive neutrophic factor, and it signals the creation of new brain cells. But you can't make them unless you have the substances
they are made out of. That's eating protein, you know, maybe whether it's a piece of chicken or some beans or whatever you're going to eat for protein and taking krill and that gives you the ingredients needed to make brain cells. Because there's phosphatazes like phosphatyl coline and phosphatylmocetol and phosphatayolthanolamine and phosphatito sereine, along with coaline and along with fish oils, which is like the lion's share
of the cellular membrane of your brain cell. So krill I know if I take my krill with a meal that at night when I go to sleep, I have the raw material for my brain to knit together new brain cells. And I know my brain will do it because the help at work better. I take buyer Krookman five blocks at my dinner and that triggers the creation of new brain cells. To buy a Criokman five blocks and has been shown in five year the clinical trials the coase to release a brain derived neurotrophic factor,
so you could create new brain cells. So your brain keeps on going, takes your looking, but keeps on ticking. So that's a good study. Yes, krill oil helps with arthritis, but I'm actually using the krill oil for my memory. But at the same time, krill oil lowers the risk of sudden cardiac death. Now that's really important. Fish oils, whether it's from eating fish or taking a fish, or taking krill oil or any other source of fish oils. Okay, fish oils help prevent sudden cardiac death.
Sudden cardiac death ends over three hundred thousand Americans each year. They suddenly keel over and that's the end of it. They don't make it into the host, into the house spital, they don't even make it alive into the ambulance. So unless it occurs inside a hospital, you don't have a chance. So krill oil reduces to risk a sudden cardiac death something like thirty five percent.
So does eating fish, so does taking fish oils. So you could do it either way, any of those orys, but krill has an added advantage. So krill's good for your brain, Krill's good for your authretic joints. Krill lowers to risk a sudden cardiac death. But krill also lowers inflammation in your heart, the kind of inflammation that triggers clogging of the arteries, what we refer to generically as herding of the arteries, And by doing that,
it's helping protect you from strokes and many strokes and heart attacks. So krill really is a super worthwhile supplement. It's a super worthwhile supplement. You're not going to see a dynamic thing when you take krill. It's not like you took creatine and all of a sudden you have more power in your arms. It's not like that. It's over time. You are strongly protected, and that's what you want. You want over time to be strongly protected.
So krill immunity HX. They are really good things, especially for older people to take. What about cocoa, anything coming out on cocoa. This is kind of like the season for cocoa because you could have it in hot water and it tastes delicious, right you put some almond milk in there, it's unbelievably I mean, it's a real treat. But it has to be really
good quality cocoa. So you don't usually get really good quality cocoa in a supermarket because there's a lot of things in it like pesticides and cadmium and things like that. You know there's impurities in it. So you want to get coca as a supplement because then you know they checked it for impurities because by law you don't have to check food for impurities, but by law you have
to check nutritional supplements such as vitamins and herbs for impurities. So if you're going to get cocoa, get a supplement of cocoa and invite has a terrific cocoa, and I have to be quite upfront about that. First of all, they've had a Kiwi fruit and black raspberry, which have their own benefits, but the taste is amazing, and then you have that real cocoa, true coco. So the American Clinical Nutrition just published a study from Massachusetts General
Brigaman Women's Hospital. If you don't have a really good diet like me, I have an exceptional diet. I have a really good diet. I mean, if you sat down and ate with me, you'd say, Wow, where's dessert? And I go, well, that's your dessert. That yogurt or those blueberries, that's you dessert, because that is dessert for me to me because I don't eat sugar. Blueberries are sweet. You know, when
you don't eat sugar, something's like something like a blueberry or sweet. Okay, so this has black raspberry, this has Kiwi fruit, and this has the cocoa. So for me, this is desserted. I could take a little bit of dis input in some plain yogurt and I'm happy. I'm super happy. So if you don't have a great diet, this is the Cosmo study. It's twenty one thousand older adults approximately. And I went on to say, hey, cocoa is very rich in antioxidants that resupply your brain with
oxygen and nutrition. That's true. Coco helps to restore circulation to an older brain. Circulation to your brain has pretty much declined by the time you're fifty or sixty. I mean, if you're a smoker, it declined a lot, a lot sooner than that. If you have diabetes, it decline a lot sooner than that. If you have super high trage glycerides, it's declined
sooner than that. But non the event, the COCO, Harvard did the studies, and we're talking Harvard Medical School, so it's none of that political shenanigans that Harvard's famous for. All that stupid political stuff that is stunt staple. Who needs that. But let's talk about Harvard Medical School because which is a totally different animal. Okay, most of the people who went to Harvard
Medical School didn't go to Harvard regular school undergraduate school. So let's just address that Harvard Medical School did great studies on COCO and said, you know, it reverses the decline in circulation to an aging brain perfectly like circulation to an aging brain. When they canvassed like thirty five hundred Americans of all different ages, so you have comparison between young and old. Circulation declines in an aging
brain to an aging brain by anywhere from ten to fourteen percent. Typically it's worse than smokers, it's worse in diabetics, it's worse in people with super high cholesterol or super high tragulos rods. The coco opens up the blood vessels and it reinstitutes circulation to the brain. The brain perfuses, in other words, gets flushed with oxygen and vitamins and good foods and you know, the
constituents of good foods and nutrition, and the brain works better. And because of this, they've seen that coco reduces inflammation in the brain and it's neuroprotective. So that's a really important point. So coco is a fun way of being good to your brain, and they've shown in a number of studies that the brain is a little sharper when you're doing cocoa every day. But the
thing is it's protecting the brain. See, if the circulation to the brain has declined little by little, your ability to think is going to get eroded because cells will die. So by taking the coco most days, if not every day, once a day, you're re establishing circulation to the brain. This prevents the brain cells from time. That's good. But when Harvard reviewed the research, Harvard came out and said, hey, the coco is preventing
heart attacks. Fewer people are having heart attacks. When Yale Medical School reviewed the research, Yale came out and said, hey, coco is preventing strokes. I mean, what's scarier than a stroke? To me, a stroke is scarier than a heart attack. It's like having a heart attack in your brain. It's horrible. So there's good brain work, a lot of gray matter behind this. People smarter than me who've come out and said, you know, coca is the real thing. It's great for your brain. It
helps restore circulation to an older brain so the brain keeps on going. But it's also helping at the same time preventing you from having a stroke and preventing you from having a heart attack. So cocoa, we have great cocoa. We have very pure, clean coca. If you go into the supermarket you buy the cocoa, you don't know what's in that cocoa. You really don't. You know there's cocoa in it. But you say with chocolate, of course you don't know if there's a lot of cadmium. You don't know if
there's a lot of spray in there, which there probably is. With our cocoa, you don't. With the Invite coco, you get clean stuff. It's so safe you could give it to your nieces and your nephews and your kids and your grandkids. It's that safe, it's that wholesome, it's that good, it's that American. So because I always think of America as purity, like pure products and higher quality and integrity and all. And you know,
and that's what Invites all about. I mean the integrity that goes into making these formulas and policing them so that we know that they're good enough for us, and if they're good enough for us, they're good enough for you. I'm very discerned. I'm not going to use junk and I use all Invite products. I don't use any other company. I'm just using Invite. I know what I'm doing. So any of these supplements I talk about, you can rest assured they're the highest quality. They're clean, they're pure,
they're safe, because we don't sell things that aren't safe. I missed add a lot of sales over the years because people call me up and say, hey, there's a new fad. You got to get this product, and I say, nope, it's dangerous, We're not doing it. So let's go to another break. Jerry Hickey Invite Health. Any of our products, they're clean, they're pure, they're safe, and we have all these nutritionists
on hand that you could speak to. You could call them on the phone, you could go in and meet them, you can send them an email and they will help you with your selection if you need some guidance, if you haven't already been guided to some conclusions of what's good for you right now. Okay, let's go to a break. Jerry hiccky Invite Health and this is like the new way of pricing, and Invite has lower prices now. They lowered them like six months ago. I'll be right back. It is
cold and flu season again. Is your immune system ready? Invite Health is here to help with our immunity.

invite heealth dot com. Okay, welcome back, Jerry Hicky. Invite Health Happy Saturday. There's two supplements that I've been telling older people that they really need, and I strongly believe this in my heart of hearts, having read a lot of research on it. They're creatine monohydrate and active HX. They're both supplements that Invite makes, and they're both super high quality research purity. They're pure enough to use for research, they're super high quality to use in
human clinical trials. Huh. So, creatine monohydrate is something people make and what it does at resupplies phospho creatine to our muscles when we're doing something that takes strength. And that's important because the posphol creatine gives the muscle the endurance to keep on going. It gives it the energy and the strength to keep on going. So there are companies that get creatine out of animals. We don't do that. We make creatine through a fermentation process on vegetables. So
our creatine there's no animal cruelty to it's it's a clean products. It's vegetarian. Okay, So creatine, you take it, It gets into your muscle and it makes it easier for the muscle to recycle posphol creatine, so you keep on getting the energy that sparked to keep on doing something physical. Now, the active HX is kind of similar, but it's totally not. It sounds similar, but it's totally not. Active HX is hydroxymethyl butyrate HMB.
But this is the stuff used in the human clinical trials, like in the Air Force and in the Marines, and then you know in the Army Rangers and all that this is the real thing. Okay, Red, white and blue active HX. In any event, the active HX, the ingredient in it protects a muscle. It keeps your muscle. That's really important. If you do really vicious exercise, you know, really tough exercise like running, running a marathon or a triathlon, you lose your muscle. It's just you
just burn it. It's gone. Well. The active HX spares the muscle. But not only that, this is really important in older people, that lets you remake your muscle. You could remake your I'm remaking my muscle now. I've gained a lot of strength lately, and I think part of that is the combination of creatine and active HX. It's not just my attention to detail, my perseverance and that I love to go to the gym, which I do. I love going to the gym every other day. I love
it. But I take the creatine, I take the active HX, and the active HX buffers my muscle and prevents me from losing muscle, but it actually helps me build muscle. I'm going to be seventy, I'm building muscle. It's nonsense that older people cannot build muscle. That's travesty, that's nonsense. That's a myth. You can build muscle, you could get your strength back, you can look better in a T shirt. I'm doing it.
I see guys here, okay in this gym. I go to this gym and there's a certain amount of older guys, especially like on a Wednesday afternoon or something, and you'll see these guys eighty years old pressing one hundred and fifty pounds. That's great, They'll be back in the NFL soon. In any event, Um, how do you look that stupid NFL stunt with Peacock in any event? Or was it paramount that was one of those in any event, you know, putting the playoff game there? In any event,
getting back to it to activate checks in older people. That protects us from losing muscle. Now, that's really important. If you break a leg, you don't want to lose your leg muscles, Well, that's really important. If you're stuck in bed with the flu for a week or two, you don't want to lose your muscle. You can lose your muscle in a week. You can lose strength and it's very hard to get it back. To activate chex spirit. But it's not just your muscles that I'm taking it for
it's also my brain. It's also my brain. So remember I said, phospho creatine is a source of energy in your muscles, so you can have endurance, and the creatine re establishes the phospho creatine well does the same thing in your brain. Your brain is a super high energy organ it's the most energetic organ in the world. That and your eyeballs, but the eyeballs are an extension of your brain, so it's the same thing. Really. The
creatine gives your brain energy. A lot of you are sitting on your couch inactive and getting unhealthy and heavier by the moment, with your blood pressure going up and your cholesterol going up and all that going up because you don't have energy. Is the thing your body has the energy. It's your brain that doesn't have the energy. The creatine will bring back your brain energy and you'll be able to go out and be more active and enjoy your friends and enjoy
your life and go do things and get rid of that depression. What's the best treatment for depression? Taking a walk outside? Okay, taking a walk outside for many people, for many people, will cure their depression, not for all, not for people with that indogenous severe depression. That's different. That's a total biochemical mess that has to be dealt with by the qualified medical
doctor. But for most of us, if you're depressed, a simple solution that quests you nothing, that's extremely safe and it's going to make you happy again, is taking a walk out doors. Yes, it's a little bit harder in the rain, it's a little bit harder in the winter. But when you can, if you're depressed go outside, you'll thank me. You'll think whoever will go with you, and especially if you can walk with a
friend and chat forget it, depression is going to melt away. So the creatine monohydrate will give you the energy in your brain, so you're motivated to get off the couch and go outside and then deal with your depression. So creatine monohydrate great for the brain, great for your muscles. Active HX same thing they're finding out, the active HX active ingredient may help prevent Alzheimer's disease by re establishing the ability of the brain to use calories for energy metabolism.
So one other thing about the creatine is good for your memory, especially if you're like vegan or vegetarian. Creatine monohydrate is great for the memory of vegans and vegetarians, but for all of us, it gives us the brain energy so that our brain functions better, so we have a better mood, so we remember things easier, so we learn things easier because we're not walking around in a fog. So there are things that are really good for you that
you know you speak to our nutritious about. These things are safe and they're wholesome. And when is the best time to take these two supplements, the creatine monohydrate and the active HX. The active HX is the HMB and the createin mon hydrate is obviously the creatam After exercise. After exercise is the best time. But if I'm not doing exercise that day, if I'm just walking and stuff, listen, walking is exercise, Okay, don't doubt that.
Walking is absolutely exercise. And all the people who just walk, if that's all they do, it's great for their brain, it's great for their heart, it's great for their mood. It's fantastic. But I go way beyond that, because you know, I'm lifting weights and I'm riding my bike, and I'm doing all this crazy stuff, playing pickle ball and all that but after I exercise, so after I play like an hour or two of pickle ball, or after I go to the gym, or after I ride my
bike, that's when I like to take these. And there's a reason. When you do physical activity, your muscle fibers open up, they expand a little bit. It's easier to get these nutrients into the muscles. But regardless, it's always a feast for your brain. So in days when I'm not planning the gym and I'm probably not going to go on my bike, maybe it's raining or something, I'll just take them in the morning, you know, I'll take them like after breakfast. It doesn't matter, it's fine,
just take them and take them every day. Now, I do add collagen to that. Collagen is a very worthwhile supplement. It really is. It's real. It's true. It has absolute benefits and you can see them. You know, there is ages. I don't care what you say, there's a bias against us older people. Okay, well you see that easily with kids. I don't mean little kids. I mean you know, like like twenty year olds and stuff. But there is a bias against older people.
Not old twenty year olds, but some there is a bias against older people. There's just you know, they expect us to be like, like like our brain when numb. They expect our brain to be numb, or they expect us to be weak, or they expect us to be slow, or you know, when they say things like what do you expect these old you know it's nonsense. You could be still you in your sixties, seventies, and some people even in their eighties. And one way to do it is
collagen. First of all, collagen makes you look younger. And listen, even though I'm talking about agism and the bias and bigotry against older people, I still would like to look younger. Why not, because it's a reflection of health. So I'm not talking about the calendar age, what we call chronological age. I'm not talking about well, I'm seventy, you know. I'm talking about the health aspect the biological age. Today we focus on biological
age. You could be seventy and be as healthy as an eighty year old, or you could be seventy and as healthy as a fifty year old. It's your choice in many cases. So my choice is to be the fifty year old. So collagen is a way to get around that, because collagen makes you. First of all, collagen makes you. The number two ingredient,
and the human body is collagen. The number one ingredient is water, because water makes the blood, and it makes the interstitial tissues, and it makes you know, all those different fluids immune system, of emphatic fluid, and the fluid in your brain and all that, you know, the cerebraspinal fluid. It's all water is water content and your skin and all hopefully it should be. So collagen makes you. It's a type of protein that has
the specific thickabino acids that you convert into different tissues. And the beauty of collagen is it will take on different compositions to make different tissues, like in your blood vessels, it's a little bit more resilient and elastic. In your spine, it's a little stiffer. In your chin, and your nose and your ear lobes. It's different, you know, it's just different all over the body. Right. It's that triple helix form that makes collagen do this
accomplish all these things. So collagen makes your skin. Seventy percent of your skin is collagen. Most of the rest is called high auronic acid. So the high auronic acid is kind of this long chain sugar, So it's a glcnutrient that embeds itself into the collagen and that's your skin. So with that collagen is no place for the high auronic acid to go. Now, when you give people collagen, the fibroable that knit skin together start to work again.
It kind of wakes them up and they actually make additional collagen. So if I gave myself a scoop of collagen, I know I'm going to get more out of that because the collagen stimulates other parts of the buy to start creating collagen when they would have normally been in some kind of sleep mode not doing their job of making collagen. So it's excellent for your skin. Many
studies on the invite collagen. It's super high quality. It's PEP ten B five thousand from a French Italian company and the studies have been done in Germany and the United States and Brazil and South Korea and Japan all over the place, Italy, Brazil, places where it looks matter and they see that wrinkles go away like two thirds and free wrinkles and deep wrinkles. But the skin also doesn't have that like kind of creepy look anymore. The skin doesn't look
thin. It's holding in moisture. It's grabbing the moisture because once you established the collagen. Very soon after the collagen, you get the high auronic acid and that's holding in the water into the skin and your skin looks great again. But there's two other tissues related to your skin. Once cold, your hair. Your hair will start behaving again like young hair, and your nails
will grow because there's similar tissue to your skin. So collagen makes you look healthier in the outside, but that's a reflection of what's going on inside. Because collagen is used to create the protective barrier that protects the brain, the blood brain barrier. Collagen is used to make the gray matter of your brain where your memory takes place. The gray matter in your brain has a very high collagen content, so when you take collagen, you actually feed your brain.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's real. Collagen creates your spinal tissue, your spine, the hinges in your jaw, and in your knee. It makes your bones. Thirty six percent of your bone, it's estimated it's made out of collagen. But see that's really important because that's what the calcium anchors on into. So if you don't take collagen, there's no place for the calcium to go, so you need collagen for the calcium to function.
Collagen also is the anchor in your joint for glucosamine and chondroiting because it makes the cartilage. Sixty seven percent it's estimated of your joint cartilage and your knee and hip is made out of collagen. So when you take collagen, it's benefiting the line of your blood vessels, the protection of your brain. The part of your brain that does all the thinking is made out of collagen
mostly and you know, fishals and things like that, be vitamins. It's made out of the valves in your heart, the filters in your kidneys, all these things are collagen. We all of a sudden, your face is not drooping anymore. If you take collagen, it should help you with that droopy face that occurs like in your you know, sixties. So collagen is real, the benefits are real, and collagen is extremely safe, and we
have a really clean collagen. Some of the Chinese companies got in trouble with collagen because they were watering it down and they were using a crappy source to begin with, so it wasn't good. So don't use Chinese collagen. I have nothing against China, but I wouldn't use their collagen. I wouldn't use their supplements. They do a lousy job. So our collagen, once again, not from China. It's an Italian French firm. It's called pepdad B
five thousand. It's been used in all kinds of studies up at University of Rochester, at the MAO Clinic, et cetera. It's the real thing. It really works. It really helps rebuild you because your collagen production starts to decline once you stop growing and filling in, so by about the age of twenty six twenty seven, you start to make less and less collegen every decade. So eventually you're really in trouble because you can't make you joint if you're
not making collagen. You can't make your bones. Your bones are getting holes in them, porous. You can't even make the great matter in your brain. So collagen. Every day I mix with my creatine monohydrate and my active HX, and I'm giving a feast for my entire body, including my brain, my muscles, my skin here and nails, my bones, my joints. It's a really great way to go. Okay, let's go to a break chair. You here can invite health. Don't go anywhere. We have

Everybody practically can get something out of taking a multivitamin. There's been when you look at a really high quality research, not the trash not the trash research. When you look at the high quality research, little kids perform better mentally and they have a little more
physical energy when they get eight children's multi vitamin. You don't want to give them anything too strong because they're little. They don't need it. So little kids do better. Middle aged and younger professionals who are in shape with a good diet do better mentally at work if they take a vitam, if they take a multi vinum, Now is that earth shattering life saving? No, but they'll do better at work, and you know how competitive work is.
But for older people like myself, a multi vitamin is a must. You could draw a line in the sand based on health and based on chronological age when you really have to take a multi vinum because you're not just not absorbing things the way you're used to. From your food, You're not to absorb the loutine for your eyeballs. You're not absorbing the zinc for your immune system and your skin and your hair and nails, and your memory, ete and
digestion and blood sugar control. You're just not making things the way you used to. You're just not absorbing things the way you used to. You're just not utilizing things the way you used to. So if you get a leg up on that by getting a little bit extra makes a huge difference. And older people are good quality multivitamin I'm not talking about. You know when you get these big box stores, you know, you join these stores, you pay like fifty bucks a year and they give you a card. You go
in there and you get these crappy huge vitamins for practically nothing. Well, that's what they're worth. That's what I wouldn't put them in my plants. But if you get a good multi vitamin, the research shows that a good multi vitamin cuts heart attacks and older people, even older people with heart disease. These are big American studies, big American studies. Multi vitamins and older people cut back on heart attacks. To me, that's worth it, right
there. Multi vitamins and older people cut back on eye disease. Okay, good, that's great, and we're talking specifically cataracts. Multi vitamins and older people cut down the number of older people that develop cancer and the number of older people that die of cancer, and a number of older people that suffer through cancer. Okay, all the people taking a multivitamin, hundreds of thousands of Americans each year over the age of sixty taking a multi vitamin would not
develop cancer simply because they're taking a vitamin. Can you imagine that? So how come the government is not saying all the people need a multi vitamin. You'll always hit the news MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS saying, oh, multivitamins don't help you. What they're not saying is oh, well, we don't care about older people, so we're not saying that older people get benefit out of a multi vitamin. Fewer cases of can, fewer
heart attacks. The immune system works better, so even if you get a cold, it's not as vicious, even if you get the fluid, it's not as bad. But also the brain works better. A number of really high quality studies, including Cosmo studies, have shown that older people who take a multi vitamin their memory works better because they're getting all these things that they're not getting enough of in their diet. Sadly, for us older people who
are commonly lacking B vitamins. It's very common in older people lack be vitamins, the lack zinc, the lack of routine, all of these things are in the Invite multie, those boxed multis, like the Invite Core Multi. Even just taking the Invite Core Multi your light years ahead of your neighbor who's your same age group, for your brain health or for your heart health, and followering your risk of IA disease or following your risk of cancer. This
is real stuff and for improving your immune system function. So what makes the invite multi special well. First of all, there's plenty of bee vitamins this sufficient good amounts of beef. Secondly, there's a form of B vitamin that is active that a lot of people don't make anymore when they're older, called methyl tetrahydrofolate that helps protect them from cancer and helps protect them from Alzheimer's disease. So most multivitamins use cheap folic acid that they get from a factory in
China. We're using methyl tetrahydrofolate that's made in Europe and the United States. And the methyl tetrahydrofolate has been shown to lower your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease strongly, because there's something that's made in your brain called homocysteine, and if that's elevated in the brain, it destroys your brain. It's like pouring chemicals
in your brain, chemical solvents in your brain. So as you grow older, it gets harder to change that cheap folic acid into methyl tetrahydrofolate, so you can't protect your brain from Alzheimer's sufficiently against homocysteine as a root cause. The envite multice has the methyl tetrahydrofolic. They also have a form of B twelve that works in older people called methylchobalment. Have lootine. All the people lack loutine, and your eyes suffer. Your eyes suffer, it's harder to
see. Further, it's harder to see clearly. Your eyes get tired quicker, it's harder to just see. And older people lack lycopine, the red stuff that comes in tomato sauce. The lycopene keeps the heart clean. So that's why you want to take an invite multi. Throw out the cheap multi, or give it away or do something with it. Don't take it. For most of you, it's negative instead of positive. Take the invite multi.
If there's one thing you buy from menvite. If there's only one thing you could buy from me, invite get their multi because that's such so many things in it that are defensive for older people and protective for older people and also improving the lot of older people. So if you take the invite multise based on the ingredients, based on the research, you're going to have a
lower risk of Alzheimer's relate to homocysteine. If there's homocysting problem, you're going to have more because of the methical element and the coq ten ingredient research based coq ten. Your vision will be safer because of a loutine. It will help prevent you from tripping and falling, because tripping and falling can end you or wind you up in a rehabilitation clinic. You're going to lykipine to protect your heart. I mean, it's just really great stuff. It's really great
stuff. I've been taking the Invite multi vitamins since when I first helped create them about nineteen ninety nine, and I've never switched. It's just you can't get a better multi vitum. And like I said, if you can only afford one thing from Invite, make it down multivitamins. They have great stuff, Don't get me wrong. There's a lot of great things like the creatine and the activate Jax and the collagen and the probiotic and the ubiquin Wong,
the krill oil, a lot of great things. But if you can only do one thing and you're older, or you're diabetic or something like that, get get their multi because you cannot do better. You cannot do better than that multi and there's enough protective ingredient in there to make I make up for Sadly, you shouldn't have a poor diet, but it will help you get past your poor diet. So people just can't eat right. I mean it's
their choice, but they can't. Uh So do a multi for older people, it's a must because it'll lower the risk of heart attack according to the research, and protect your brain. It will be good for your memory, it'll be good for your energy, it'll be good for your immune system, just all around. Now. Invite also has a fantastic cones and Q ten called you back one wall and the research shows you bake one wall is absorbed better than regular COQ ten But you bake one oll is used to create energy.
And what place needs energy more than any other place other than the brain the heart, because the heart is pumping over one hundred thousand times a day and the ubiquhol level and older hearts drops significantly. So you bake one all something I do every day with my breakfast. I haven't missed a day in years because there are heart attacks in my family. I'm seventy, I'm pumping iron, I'm kayaking, I ride my bike like a demon. I walk
three four miles a day. I'm not worried about a heart attack because I do the ubiquital and I do to krill oil, and these things help condition my heart. And I do the active HX and the creatine. All these things are good for my heart. I do a multi it's good for my heart. I'm almost out of time, boy, I got a little more time. Probiotics that's another really important thing, especially for older people. They can miss over a million people worldwide once and they saw that older people,
they are good bacteria die out, which is crazy. But there's other studies showing the same thing. So there must be some kind of dynamic change to our system that causes our body to kill off the good bacteria. What happens if you lack good bacteria, well, you're always hungry. You're going to gain weight, your sugar is going to go up if you don't have good bacteria. Good bacteria interact with your brain for good mental function. Good bacteria
make the immune system work. To help protect you from COVID nineteen, to help protect you from the flu, to help protect you from respiratory sigtial virus, to help protect you from colds, to help protect you from the flu, whatever is out there. Who care? I mean there's things out there. I worried about them. No, but yeah, I'd rather not be sick. So I take the probiotic every day because within two weeks your immune system is much better at protecting you from cancer and infection. So hey,
I'm seventy, I'd rather not have an infection. I'd rather not have cancer. Do I do my probiotic. You can't get a better combination in the invite probiotic checks. I took six months to put that together. I've read literally hundreds of studies on probiotic strains to come to the conclusion this is the one. It's great for lactose intolerance. It's great for digestion, it's great for leaky god diar rare, constipation, gassiness, bloating, even allergies.
Over time and the immune system. I'm out of time, Jerry Hickey, I love you guys. This is from my heart. The supplements I mentioned today or must have, they really help keep you in the pink. Take care of yourself, stay healthy, try not to get sick, Try to get your exercise, try to eat you vegetables, try to get your sleep, and take these supplements. Have a great day. It is cold and
flu season again. Is your immune system ready?
